THE NUTMEG TICKET.

The democratic state central committee
 in pursuance of Chairman Dooley's invita-, tion, will meet in Hartford tomorrow to settle date for holding the state conven, ton for the nomination of state ticket and presidential electors. Sentiment has not altogether crystallized upon any one man as the best available candidate for governor, though the name of ex Cong ress- man Seymour seems to be the one most mentioned for the position. MT Seymour would make an excellent candidate his name would be an earnest of vigorous effort and an inspiration of general and spontaneous enthusiasm in the party. Others there are who would be stronger men; such, for instance, as ex-Governor Ingersoll or ex-Governor Waller. But neither of these is, we believe, available, and it is hardly possible to induce either to

Representative White of Indiana differs with Senator sherman, who believes that wages is one of the things that laws can not regulate. Mir. White has introduced in the house bill to make wages uniform throughout the states and territories. It fixes the minimum rates at which men, women and children can be employed places the execution of the law in the hands of the interstate commerce commits sion, and appropriates million dollars to carry the act into operation. Congress has a good many humorists.

LITTLE MOUSE WAS BORN.

Our Bank street contemporary which its inspiration from typographical e,ror in these columns, reads us one of those peculiar homiies that are its chief stock in trade. After breeding in gloomy silence for six and thirty hours over what it tor tured into q shot ut " the old flag" the lit tie soul of our contemporary goes into a spasmodic convulsion and curious little mouse is born. It raves and rages and roars and rants in its fury; twists and tears and turns and tumbles in its mad frenzy; bites and barks and bustles i'll its choleric confusion, and altogether gets it self into state of mind over the parturi- tion of it's mimic rodent. It sees wild hordes of confederate brigadiers sweeping through the Naugatuck valley to swallow up our peaceful city; it sees monster con- federate fiotillas beating up the rapids of Mad river to storm us with shot and shell and wiring tribute from our little pension ridden commonwealth and with all the empressement and furor of Il brave and devoted and heroic soul filings itself into the breach to stem the tide of danger. o tempora O Morrow "When this cruel war is over"; when our unco' brave and brilliant and befogged contemporary, like Horatio, comes back from the gap, will it please accept our congratulations that ''the old flag" is safe, and the hope that

The talk of injury to the lumber busi- ness by the passage of the Mills bill and the reelection of President Cleveland, while it may frighten some, hasn't tcrrors for all of those who might be supposed to be the best judges in the premises. Jere w. Finch, lumber dealer at Glens Falls, N. Y., says; "I will promise to give steady work to any chopper or sawmill employe who is thrown out of work by such legis- lation and reelection, and will agree to purchase the property of any lumber dealer or sawmill owner who will frankly come to me and say that his business has been injured thereby" Mir. Finch evidently takes no stock in the free trade bugaboo, which the republicans shout about SC Clibly

THE Hartford Post notes the general declination of all prominent democrats' in Connecticut to head the state ticket. With all the odds in favor of the republi- cans owing to a rasoally and unfair con stitutional provision which requires a majority vote to elect, and a tlagrantly rotten system of representation by which the republicans arc enabled to secure the legislature into which the chances are that it is not at all surprising that democrats should hesitate to enter the shambles.

The new broom of removals will be-
gin its sweepings after March 4th.
Every Federal appointee under Mr..
Cleveland should feel himself under
marching orders after that date. The
voice of the people as expressed at
the ballot box has said as much and
Mr.. Harrison should carry out the
wishes of the party that placed him
in power. To the victorious soldiers
belong the flags taken in battle, and,
after they have captured them, they
should have them and hold them.

THE Democrats waited patiently
once for twenty-four years before get
ting into office and the fact of having
to wait four now before they come in
to power again does not tax their
strength beyond endurance. The truth
is they do not care so much for office
anyway. While they were in they let
thousands upon thousands of Repub,
licans hold oyer in the offices which
they had held for more than a dozen
years. Everybody knows this to be
true. Mr.. Cleveland who was at the
head of the removal bureau said
"Let the boys alone they are com,
fortably and snugly fixed, don't dis,
turb them. Let them have good
time while they can" And they have
had good time and will continue to
have good time even while Grover
and Frankly are packing up house
hold goods and singing "we'll go
home tomorrow"

THE election of GenL Harrison to
the presidency makes it fortunate for
the people of Idaho that Mr.. Dubois
has been returned to Congress. One
OF the strong grounds taken by THE
NEWS in its advocacy of Mr.. Hawley's
election was that he would supposedly
be in accord with the party in power
and could therefore do more for his
constituency and could obtain more
fayors for them than if he stood in
opposition to that party. A delegate
from either party will find himself
seriously handicapped in his labors at
Washington with his opposing party
in power. Mr.. Dubois must have felt
this during his present term, and now
that he has been returned and is in
full political accord with the lncom-
ing administration he will be more at
ease and will be able to do more for
his people than he could possibly
have done with the Democrats in
power.

AN Ingenious Democrat, whose
hindsight is much better than his
foresight, was talking to an Evening
Sun reporter in New York, the other
day, and said: Il knew we would not
reflect Mr.. Cleveland for the Presi.
dency. Not that am superstitious
at all, but one could not help believ-
ing in this. You all know that Mr..
Harrison halls from Indiana, and also
that the first letter of that State is Il.
Then Mr.. Morton comes from New
York, the first letter of that State be-
ing IN. Put together these spell the
word 'in.' Now for the Democratic
candidate:- Grover Cleveland halls
from New York, and again the N
turns up. Allen G. Thurman lives in
Ohio. Consequently when you take
the IN for Cleveland and the % for
Thurman, and putting these together
you have the word No l never was
superstitious in my life, but l could
not help thinking but that the Il and
the IN for Republicans meant victory
for the party, while the IN and the 90
for the Democrats warned us in ad-
vance of our defeat"

The Prohibition Vote.

The Volce-a weekly sheet publish
ed in New York and the principal
newspaper organ of the prohibitionists
during the recent campaign-claims
that its party made great gains on
the 9th instant over the vote Of st..
John in the presidential election OF
1884. 1t says:
"Fisk and Brooks have received an
aggregate vote in the nation of from
100000 to 100000. 1t will probably
be something in excess of 300, 900
closely approximating 100000. This
will be more than twice the number
of votes obtained by St. John and
Daniel in 1884, and a larger number
of votes than the prohibition party
has polled in any election since its
organization, not excepting the phe-
nomenal year of 1886.
''There is not prohibition loss.
compared with the st. John vote, in
any important state. The gains are
heavy almost without exception, and
in some cases are unexpectedly heavy.
Thus California increased her st. John
vote from 1850 to 10000 or $4,000;
Minnesota from 1854 to $4,000 or
10000; Indiana from 3,028 to an ag-
gregate variously estimated at from
IL ,0G0 to $4,000"
The Voice puts the prohibition
vote in Illinois at $4,000 gain of
about 100 per cent upon four years
ago. And this statement seems likely
to be substantiated by the official
count, as according to a Springfield
dispatch of Saturday.

THE dispatches from Topeka, Kan,
say that Judge Brewer has decided,
in the Allen county case, in which
certain alternate sections of land
granted by the government to the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad
were claimed by the settlers thereon,
that the land in question legally be-
longs to the railroad company. The
settlers will therefore be compelled
to give up possession. The land en-
braces large amount of the most
fertile farming lands in the country.
About 5000 settlers are thus thrown
out of their homes. Many of them
have occupied the land for ten or fif-
teen years, and have made extensive

THE Law IS peculiar in what il !

THE law is peculiar in what it re-
CARDS as day. Most people think
q day is twenty-four hours; but the
law considers any fractional part of
the twenty-fours as being of sufficient
length to term day. Thus if a man
is sentenced to one days imprison-
ment he is merely shown through the
Jail and is then released. 1t is for
the same reason that a young man
becoming of age on November z, one
day after election, can vote. The
moment that the 9th is ushered into
existence the law considers that day
passed and that the young man there
fore has served the last day of his
minority.

WE have come upon a fast age. 1t
takes hero of former times to make
an ordinary man of the present day
and he who is born without energy,
pluck and western go-aheaditlveness
is born too late. A man in office dies
and other men petition for his office
before he is shrouded or the hour for
his funeral is announced. A man is
defeated for Office and another can
didate is named for the race at the
next election before the votes of the
different precincts ale canvassed. The
world moves with electric speed
and ambitious, energetic men will not
be left behind. In times agone com.
mon decency forbade an exhibition
OF ones eagerness to step in a dead
mans shoes, man would be hooted
down as greedy Office seeker for
seeking the place of one in office un.
til he had loosened his grip upon the
relns of that Office, but times have
changed and men have changed with
them. Men must be on the alert, they
must be minute men or else in the
whirl they will be left behind. No
official count has been made of the
votes of November 9th and yet men
are being named for the race in 1892.
MIR. Cleveland appointed men to office
in October and other men are expect
ing the same office from Mr. Harrison
in April next What will become OF
US at this rate of speed in the cam.
paigns of the next century? Perhaps
we will elect men to office one term
ahead.
