City Attorney Prentice has decided for
the town of Hartford in reference to the
law passed at last session of the Legislature

now collectable, as the assessment was made
prior to the passage of the law.
Contributions are wanted at the City
Mission for the J"fresh air fund.- for sick
and needy children. Very good indeed,
and we hope the money will pour in in
streams from the pockets of those whose
wealth is procured through the systems that
cram little children into uninhabitable
quarters surrounded by disease and death,
and away from Gods fresh air and sun
light, as they are the only fellows that have
any to give. All we have is advice, which
if taken, would give the little ones fresh
air, without money or without price.
The Solons of this state who at the last
session of the legislature revised the law
regulating the use of explosives on the 4th
of July, should have named it can Act to
Encourage Patriotism, by allowing young
lads to blow out their own brains, shoot
themselves and others, set fire to buildings
with giant crackers, and distract whole
ciGy-full with their din and racket" all of
which our youthful patriots did so vigor-
ously as to convince the world that liberty
is safe and rampant in this country. The
number of killed and wounded in celebrat-
ing the glorious Fourth here was more than
equal to any former occasion. More lives
and limbs, or eyes and fingers, are sacrificed
each recurring anniversary of the nations
birthday than in any battle of the Revolu
ton. 1t is costly way of celebrating the
day, but our legislators consider it necessary
or patriotism would die out They are ig-
norant of the fact that there are thousands
now who would prefer going back into an
ii .bellum dependence, if that would save
then the agony of the glorifcation racket.
