Connecticut's legislature has at last con-
sented to submit the prohibitory amendment to
popular vote. In the lower house there was
long struggle to get the necessary two-thirds to
agree, but finally enough were argued over to
justeoyer the constitutional limit. Some Of the
anti-prohibitionists were probably induced to
give their consent by observing the harmless
ness Of the result in Massachusetts,.

The period of headache and repentance which
succeeds the debauch has set in among the
Oklahoma boomers. Many of them are hasten
ing out Of the territory as fast as they crowded
into it, or faster. Their one anxiety seems to be
to put as great distance as possible between
themselves and the hated scenes of their dis
tress. The bulk of the people who join these
expeditions take no account of many con-
siderations which would weigh heavily in the
minds of most men. Without stopping to in
quire where they are to look for food. drink, and
shelter from the cold. they Chamber over each
other in their eagerness to locate claims, merely
10 find out, after few days experience that the
land of promise is one of promise only, and
that they have exchanged a chance of living in
an older community for a chance of starving or
freezing to death in a new one.

The habitual criminals act which enables the
police to clear New York of its horde of pro-
fessional crooks when occasion requires, comes
most conveniently into play in view of the ap-
preaching centennial celebration. Inspector
Byrnes has been gathering in some of the
sneak-thieves, pickpockets, burglars, and other
persons of that stamp who infest the streets of
the great city, and many more, doubtless, will
take the hint and move out of town before the
hand of the law fixes itself upon them. 1t will
be particularly necessary to relieve the public
of these nuisances just now, when the crowd of
sight-seers will be immense, the ordinary pre-
cautions for protecting the property of both
residents and visitors relaxed, and the street
hghting-since Mayor Grants raid on the over
head wires-temporarily less brilliant IN places

The BEST MEN TO THE FRoNT.-
In looking forward to the next elec-
ton it appears TO be the sentiment Of
the Democratic party, as expressed
through its local organs throughout
the State. that none but the best men
should be brought TO the front. or put
upon the ticket next fail. There il
also growing disposition to frown
down the practice Of packing conyen-
tions wi b the friends Of local candi-
dates in the primaries. SO that by
forming combinations in the conven-
veDtions undesirable and unpopular
nominations frequently result. Pub
lie opinion will break up and should
break up this order Of things. which
defeats the very object Of county con-
yentions. That object is. or should

meet together for consultation for the
general good of the party and of the
State. and not for the selfish schemes
of individuals. Let aspirants for
public places sand back until the
people call for them Westminster
Advocate.
