10 renting both tenements of the Poin-

Board of Fire Commissioners, who
have rented looms in private dwelling
and have no real headquarters.
The City Engineer, who et presen;
has practically no rooms at all for the

The Mayor, who at present IS long
distance from the City Hall, and every
day people have to enquire where his
office is.
The Board Of Health, which is now
located down by the Old Market, and is
only visible to the initiated By a small
sign.
The idea is to have all these city Off
GERS right together on Capitol street so
that when citizen should have business
with two of them he or she would not,
after having transacted business with
one, have TO walk mile up hill or
down hill to transact business with the
other.
TO transfer all these officers from their
present location TO a new one of course
requires the action of number OF COun-
Gil Committees There should be TO
doubt of the great good which would re-
suit to the public as well as to the officers
in charge, and some arrangement such as
is suggested by the City Engineer will be
approved by all of our citizens

Removal of Causes From Police Court.

The new Code undertakes to limit the
power of moval in civil controversies
over S2D by requiring the defendant to
make affidavit that h. has a substantial
defense Mr.. Lyon g. Tyler took the
ground in the Police Court the other day
thar this restriction was unconstitutional
If the Legislature had the right to add
one restriction upon the sacred right OF
trial by jury. it could add as many as it
chose. 1t could SO restrict the power Of
removal as to deprive the citizen of a
jury trial entirely. Yet the Constitution
Of the United States holds that in all
cases above $50 the trial must be had by
jury. and the State Constitution main
taiDs that this mode of attaining justice
is to be preferred 10 all others and held
sacred. But the Justice overrued Mr.
Tyler's view of the matter.

fully discussed there. The people OF the
nutmeg state are clear-headed and shrewd.
Tnete Is no danger that they would not AGA

necticut workingmen have sustained me
Democratic policy. Rhode Island Is little
less than huge manufacturing estab-

treachery OF trading politicians IN New

may be drawn from the decisions in Con-
