BIENNIAL SESSIONS.

At the recent reunion of the Maine legisla- tors at Augusta MT. Blaine made @ speech and in the course of it he discussed the bien- nial sessions matter. He said among other things: believe that the moderate expense legislature cannot be more wisely incurred than bringing together and educating annu- ally young men for the public service. I be- ieve it is @ mistake in the republican government to get rid of frequent elections Perhaps we need not fear the beginning of tyranny, as Samuel Adams warned us we should if we dropped annual elections, but I am persuaded we would find great advantage in retaining the old system. People must govern themselves or somebody else will gov ern them, and there is no way to keep popu- lar government fresh, strong and effective like frequent and we'll contested elections. I venture the prediction that the State of Maine, not perhaps in my own time, but be- fore great many years, will return to the old system.
 This argument has been used in Connecti- cut against biennial sessions and also in every other State in the Union. But the people of this country evidently do not think it a very strong argument, for thirty of the thirty-eight States of the Union have abandoned the annual election system, and thirty three have also adopted biennial ses sions of their legislatures. None have re- turned to their former custom. Only Massa- chusetts and Rhode Island choose all their State officers each year. Governor Robin son of Massachusetts we'll says in his mes sage: It is impossible to believe that so vast 8 majority of the people of the country, of every condition, irrespective of party predom- nance, can have adopted system that ac- complishes destruction of their liberties, or a subversion of their rights, and yet have at tempted no measure of restoration of the earlier system.
 The people of the State will soon know something about the practical working of bi- ennial sessions. They will save U great deal of money, aud there will not be so much hasty making and unmaking of laws. And it is not at all probable that Connecticut will lose it's liberty on account of not having enough politics.

 An old New Yorker recently introduced to Hubert o. Thompson said he used to know a Hubert Thompson, but, said he, "He was thin and remarkably good dancer. He used to lend the germun."

 A timely hint comes from Professor Ord way of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology. He has proved by experiment. that common glazed cotton batting wrapped
 around the pipe is the best non-conductor that can be used. The batting should be put on the pipes to the thickness of one to three
 in hes, according to exposure, and fastened very loosely with twine.
 At recent meeting of the London An thropological society a modern philosopher read a paper on the game of hor-scotch, in which he traced the origin of the game to a period anterior to the introduction of Chris tianity, and showed that in early Christian times children had some rough idea of repre- senting in this game the progress of the soul through the future world, and that the divis- ion of the figure into seven courts was on account of the belief in seven heavens. The Age of Steel prints nearly forty com munications on the relations between capital and labor from the leading writers and pro fessors of political economy and from repre- sentative manufacturers and workmen as we'll. These men differ widely as to the rem- edy for the present costly strikes and lock- outs, but they are agreed, with the exception of a few manufacturers who believe that nothing beyond their present rut is "practi- cal,!" that remedy should be found, and all most the entire number favor arbitration as the most practical method by which wage disputes can be bridged over until more just basis for the distribution of the profits of industry can be found.
