iSALUD, BoRlNQURN!
IMPROVISACION.

Salud, puerto americana,
noble Borinquen, salud,
perla del gran Oceano,
deja que ponga mi mano
en- las cuerdas del laud.
Humilde poeta espanol
busco lejos de mis- lsres
el rumor de tus palmarss,
los rehejos de tn sol
J las brisas de tus mares.
A tu suslo virginia.
lego ansioso de carino,
con IN entusiasmo tai
que to busco como el nino
busca el seno maternal.
De regocijo, de fs,
mi coraz6n Sc dilata.
Terra CON Ia que soAe
no ha de ser conmigo ingrata
pues con niguno 10 fue.
~ como pensar tal cosal
iQue pena habrA que me afija
si halla aquf mi alma gozosa
los santos besos de mi hija
J los brazos de mi esposs7
Mi esposa, vuestra paisans,
que es de mi vida Ell consuelo,
Ia que por mi bien 90 afans,
10 que nsci6 bsjo el cielo
de 10 terra americana!
Borinquep, quiero en- tas monte
mirar las cumbres bravias,
y medir tus horizontes,
Y escuchar las armoniss
de tus alegres sinsontes.
Yer tus Arboles gigantes,
YER tn alborada risnena,
tus horocillas frsgantes
y los pupilas radiantss
de Ia gentil borinquena.
Busco aromas seductoras,
busco lealtsd en- los seres,
IY d6nde hAl,arlos mejores
que aqui, do smbriagan las flores
y donde aman las mujeres'
De amistad vengo sediento,
y en- ell suelo hospitalario
donds he tornado mi asiento,
cadA hombre es IN santuario
que guarda este sentimiente.
iOh, Borinqueu deliciosa,
tengo en- II mis- ojos fijos,
y busca mi alma afanoss,
en- II madre carinosa,
mis- hermsnos son tus hijos.
Y juntos hsmos de estar
cuAl mi patris y este suelo

In a communication to the New Haven News, MT. R. s. Hinman of Oxford gives the Connecticut farmers side of the pro lection question :--
 In brief then, we want all the money and all the men allied with us in business, who depend upon us for food and upon whom we depend for wearing apparel and manufactured articles to be here with us helping us to support our government, our schools, our churches and our high ways and railways, where we can supply them with eggs, poultry, fruits and vege- tables that we can sell and maintain the fertility of our farms, instead of having them 5000 miles away supporting other governments and public institutions, when we could grow on our Connecticut farms absolutely nothing to exchange with them. Where there are great natural obstacles we bow to the inevitable, but in all indus tries when 10 hours labor will produce the sane results this side the Atlantic as the other, we want the plant here with us. We not only want the workmen here, but we want them we'll paid, SO that they, as well as their employers, can buy our small fruits, vegetables, etc. We are workers ourselves, and we know of no place on earth where the man who labors on farm receives high wages while work CTS in other industries receive low wages. We believe that nowhere on earth, since our first parents left the Garden of Eden,
 under any other system of taxation, have the producing classes been more respected and better able to provide themselves with the necessities, comforts or luxuries of life than here in this little state of Connecticut under protective tariff. ~/ We are not like the dog in the fable that, while crossing log over stream with piece of meat in his mouth, saw in the water below another dog with an equal ly large piece of meat, and, mad with envy, dropped his own meat to get the other piece. Telling us that manufacturers are prosperous doesn't worry us.
 If any one can point us to some plan that has resulted in greater prosperity to the producing, classes, or that promises better results, VIC shall not turn deaf ear, but we are not willing to gamble with the 1 chances, so far as experience has yet shown, all saw-dust.
 We are aware that the present arrange ment bears little hard on the man who has acquired 8 competence, retired from business, and is producing nothing. He pays high for his help, and his living ex- penses are greater than in free trade country, without any balancing benefits but we think, with due economy, he will get along, and so thinking we are and shall
 be, until pointed to the better way, pro- | ttectiOnists.

THE CONNECTICUT MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE CoAEPANY.-Ths forty second annual statement of the Connections Mutual Life Insurance Company of Hartford is presented elsewhere in this issue. j ".-~
 This Is not only the largest financial insi- tuition in the state but also the largest in New England, and it's name has long been by word for financial soundness. The figures show that it enters 1888 stronger than ever before. The policy, which the management has marked out and maintained for it, has made it distinct among the great mutual com- panies of the country, and has drawn to 1t a large constituency of careful insurers who pin their faith alike to it's thorough conservative ness and its substantial and enormous assets. It is now insuring 63, ,483 persons for about $151 ,00O, 600 and has gross assets exceeding @56, 500, 900, while it's surplus is $5, ,226, ,O00 by It's own per cent standard, which it vol untarily adopted a few years ago as safeguard against any possible decline in the rate of in- terest in the future. The ratio of expense of management to receipts last year was only 9 23 per cent, which is another evidence of the conservatism with which 1t is conducted. This statement has direct interest for the 64, 900 persons, more or less, who are insured, and the 320, 900 or more who depend on the insurance that the company provides. The members of the Connecticut Mutual, and that means the insured, and indeed all who take pride in the success of Connecticut institu- tions, cannot but feel satisfaction in it's con- dition an conduct.

Fire and Loss of E4lfeo A Terrible Story. The new office of the Evening Union at the cornerof Main and Worthington streets, Springfield, was burned about o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the blaze was at- tended with the most sickening horrors ever witnessed in that city, six of the en- ployees meeting terrible death, most of them jumping from the fifty story and be- ing crushed into shapeless mass below. Six others were badly injured. The fire was first discovered in the mailing room, and clouds of smoke were pouring out of the story windows before the fifty souls on the upper floor were aware of their danger. The flames shot up an old eleva- tor in the rear, cutting off escape by the stairway, and most of the employees who escaped found their way to the ground by way of the roof in the rear. The unfortu- nate men and women who crowded into the editorial rooms met horrible fate. Some were cut of in the composing room, and several fell back into the flames. The employees who rushed into the editorial room were cut of from the escape in the rear, and had to face the horrible alterna- tive of burning to death or jumping to the sidewalk below. The fire department re- sponded promptly, but it seemed an age before it reached the windows on the fifth story. A ladder was put to the fourth story, and the sight of rescue so near seem ed to madden the suffering group at the two windows, who dropped in succession to the sidewalk below. Six fell in this way, some of them forced off, and some madly leaping, and the crowd groaned and turned their heads away as they whirled through the air.

TIE strike still continues on the O., B. Q. railroad. New engineers are being secured, and the company claim that they have nearly full working force enrolled, with innumera- ble applications for more places, and that they shall do without the strikers. The strik- CTS are just as confident that they will be recalled on their own terms, and that the en- gineers now running are incompetent and damaging to their employers. It is hardly likely that general strike of engineers will be ordered. The brotherhood needs the con- tributions of engineers at work, and besides wishes to keep on the right side of the public, which would be indignant at tying up oi the business of the country because of dis pute upon one lecal road.
