Republicans are Consistent.

From the Kansas city JOURNAL
The Republicans are consistent. They
demand a restricted immigration. They
denounce the importation OF foreign
labor to supplant American workmen,
and they also demand that the indus
tries In which the American wOrkIuen
find emplovment shall be protected
against the competing industries OF
foreign countries where starvation
wages are paid. No newspaper, no par
" which does not favor the American
system Of protection" can consistently
demand the exclusion Of the pGuper
labor Of EuroLe.

Coal for Ihreshine Machines

Most threshing is now done by steam,
the engines running the separator much
cheaper than horses can, and doing
quicker and better work. There is great
difference in engines in the amount of
coal required, and something also is due
TO the management, the machine and
condition of the grain and straw If a
steady continuous flow OF grain is posi-
bic, the strain on the engine is less in
proportion to the work accomplished.
In very hot weather less coal Is needed
to get up steam. 1t is better to have an
eight or ten-horse power engine, even
where smaller power will do the work.

When President Grant was about to make his fourth and final nomination of a successor to Chief Justice Chase, it is told in "The Norwalk Gazette" he sent for Senator Buckingham, formerly governor of Connecticut, to come to the white house and give all the information he could con- corning Mir. Waite, as the president had learned that he had been born in Connec- ticut. The governor with earnestness urged General Grant to select him. After he had discovered that the president evi- dently was weighing Mir. Waite's fitness with that of others he had in his mind, Governor Buckingham wound up with the statement of his belief that no man in the country possessed better qualifications or more absolute fitness for the place than Mir. Waite, and concluding, said "Eve- rything can be said in favor of him, and but one single thing against him, and that is a thing he cannot help" 'sWhat is that ?" said President Grant. "He is a relative of mine, said Governor Bucking- ham, with laugh, in which the president heartily joined. Governor Buckingham was reioiced that same afternoon by the name of his cousin being sent to the senate for confirmation.

THERE seems to be growing sentiment among republicans in favor of the nomination of Gov. Lounsbury for second term.

Waller.

A barn belonging to Buckley Burr, in Torrington, caught fire in singular man. ner Friday morning, March 30th, and was burned to the ground in a short time. Mir.
 Burr went out to hitch up his horse. He carried a lantern with him and set tdown.
 He had partly got the harness on his horse, when the animal made grab at the lantern, caught it in his teeth and raised it from the floor. The globe struck against 8 pin in post, which shattered the globe into fragments. Some hay was hanging from loft overhead, and-in 8 moment the flames shot up to the rafters and en- veloped the inside of the structure in a mass of flames. Mir. Burr had difficulty in saving his COW and one wagon. The barn was incurred in the Litchfield Mutual.

The survey of the proposed railroad from Manchester to Portland has been completed. It is intended eventually to connect it with the Rockville railroad, and to reach the Air Line railroad at Cobalt, giving connection with through line from New York to Boston. The survey was be- gun near Talcottville, and runs south near LydallvilIe in Manchester, thence south east of the Green to near Cases mills, thence passes East Glastonbury about oRe- fourth of a mile east of the post office, thence to Roaring Brook, through Cotton Hollow, near South Glastonbury. The engineer reports the route a very feasible one. The highest grade will be only forty six feet to the mile. The route surveyed passes many mills, and will make the road accessible to about 100000 tons of freight annually.

The New Haven Palladium says: The revision of the general statutes of the state has opened the door to an important question as to the effects of foreclosing 8 mortgage. The old statutes since 1883 have provided that if the property fore closed is not worth the amount of the mortgage debt, the creditor can sue for the balance. In 1878 further law was pass ed that where the party that gave the mortgage had sold the property, he might still be summoned to appear in the fore closure suit, and the property might be then appraised, and this appraisal should settle its value in any future action for a deficiency that the creditor might bring. The revisors thought that this law of '7e inferentially repealed the old law and SC dropped the latter out, but it so happened that this very question whether it repealed it or not, was then pending before the supreme court of errors, and the judges have decided the other way. Meanwhile the revision has been published and the old statute referred to has been left out
 and the question to come up next is wheth. CT leaving it out has nullified the effect oa this decision of the supreme court ol whether both remedies still exist.

Robert J. Burdette, in his characteristic way, makes these observations, which seem to be pertinent to certain recent crit icisms on the compensation of evangelists {: 'My son, when you hear man growing and scolding because Moody gets $20O a week for preaching christianity, you will perceive that he never worries minute because Ingersoll gets $2o0 g night for preaching atheism. You will observe that the man who is unutterably shocked be- cause F. Murphy gets $15O week for temperance work, seems to think it is all right when the barkeeper takes in twice as much money in single day. The laborer is worthy of his hire, my boy; and he is just as worthy of it in the pulpit as he is upon the stump. Is the man who is trying to save your immortal soul worth less than the man who is only trying his level best to go to congress? |? Isn't Moody doing as good work as Ingersoll2 Was not John B. Cough as much the friend of humanity and society as the bartender? Do you want to get all the good in the world fol nothing, so that you may be able 10 pay 6 high price for the bad ?"

SAVED BY SWIFT RUNNING.-At 1nker- mann, one of the most stubbornly fought battles of the Crimean war, young off, cer, who had learned at Eton not much from books but a good deal from it's sports, was surrounded and taken prisoner. While going to the rear in charge of two stalwart Russians, he looked at their long coats and said to himself: ''They can't run." Watch ing his opportunity he knocked one soldier head over heels, threw the other, by a wrestler's trick, pto the mud, and took to his heels. Before his guardians were on their legs and could fire, he had got over a good piece of ground. A Russian lancer made at him ; he ran as if leading an Eton foot-race, and cleared good-sized fence. The lancer cleared it after him, and with lance fixed pressed the fugitive hard. A swoolen brook, running fercely, barred his way. It was seventeen feet wide, but the old Etonian had won the''long ju1nd' when at school, having cleared nineteen feet ove, Chalvey ditch. He now jumped the brook; the lancer refused to follow, and the young officer ran back into the English lines.

TIE Crosby" high license bill has passed the New York legislature by nearly strict party vote.. The bill is nearly the same as that vetoed last year by Gov. Hill, save that to gain the needed vote of democratic mem- Der the minimum price for licenses was low cred from $500 to $500, and the maximum price from $2OO0 to 5000. Five republican members of the lower house voted against the bill. The best temperance men in the state desired it's passage, and the result cannot but be good, reducing as it will the number of drinking places. Prohibitionists opposed the bill, apparently upon no better ground than the assumption that there can be no middle ground between free, unrestrained rum selling and entire prohibition. The consistent tenn. perance man, however, must admit that re straint upon the traffic is better than indis- criminate selling, and that steady increase of restraint is steady advance toward prohi bition. New Yoxk is far from being ready fo, prohibition, as yet, but the Crosby license bill, if the governor does not veto it, will les sen the evils of rum selling and increase the growing number of those who would entirely crush out the deyilish pauper and crime pro- ducing business
