Shoninger Pianos

Are now thoroughly established in the homes of Waterbury's best families It is no idle boast to assert that during the last two years more have been sold than any other one make. The present management believes in the product of the Shoninger factory to the fullest ex- tent and has always labored to impress it's customers with the fact that piano direct from the manufactory, less the dealers commissions, was the instru- ment for rich and poor alike to buy. If you are about to purchase, we invite close examination, hoping to reach the the same time your pocketbook for the smallest price possible consistent with first equality and high standard of the Shoninger piano.

Mrs. Vaughn closed a second successful
term OF her school, at Pilot Knob, recently,
by the usual examinations in the forenoon,
and by giving basket picnic in the afternoon
at Goulding's Park. The examination was
very credible to both teacher and pupils.
The picnic was given for the special pleasure
and amusement of the pupils, all of whom
entered into the spirit of the occasion with
eager hands and hearts.

Protective AbSurdity

The protective system as applied tc
labor is placed in queer light by the
case of the Catholic University OF
America.
The faculty of this institution, de-
string to secure learned professors OF
theology from Europe, submitted the
question whether it would lawful to dc
so to the Treasury Department. The
Solicitor of the Treasury made an
swer that the importation OF the PROF
essors under any contract, express OF
Implied, would be a violation of the
alien contract law. The question Will
now be submitted to the Attorney
General for final decision.
OF course. decision against this FAC
ulty will amount practically To de-
cision that no professor, no inventors
no preacher, no teacher of useful arts
nor any eminent scientist, engineer OF
adept in mechanics can be obtained
from another country by citizens Of
this country for any purpose whatever
In other words the most enligh tened
and progressive country in the world
voluntarily shuts itself off from all the
advantages of instruction from aliens
whose ability, study and research
make them leaders and teachers ofart,
science or philosophy. This IS done
in order that their superior knowl-
edge may not interfere with the sale
of inferior knowledge by American cit
liens. A high fence studded with
pixies is built around the land in order
that no superior knowledge may creep
in, and in order that our own students,
inventors and investigators may rise
to the level of outside competitors
without suffering composition: 1t is
like insisting thai child shall learn to
swim without going into the water:
We place an embargo on ability and
attachments which will add to our own
wealth of capacity and accomplish
ments.
This appears to be the reduction to
an absurdity of the protective princi-
pie. But it is no more absurd than the
law out of which this rises and which
prevents a manufacturer obtaining
machinery and new materials where
they are cheapest and best, or con-
sumner obtaining commodities where it
suits his taste and poeketbook,-Post-
Dispatch.

The Supreme Court last week re-
versed the case of State VS. Montgom-
cry, sentenced to death by the Carter
County Circuit Court last fall. The
point upon which the court reversed
the case was that the verdict of the
Jury did not state of what degree OF
murder they found the defendant
guilty, which the statute requires.
The Judge (Wear) drew the verdict
submitted it to the jury. This over
sight (?) will necessitate another ex-
@nsive trial, and may enable a foul
