baRQinr the chief prize Of all One OF the things
he has in mind is the control OF the next
Legislature especially of the Senate, to be elected
next fall. whose term will expire when Mr. Hill
completes his seventh and last year in the Gov
ernor's office. Already the Democrats have Sc
cured the XIIIth District and they hope TO retain
il az the next election. The Senate now con-
tains twenty Republicans and twelve Democrats.
II Mr.. Hill can succeed in capturing five more
districts he will have a majority; four more
districts would enable him, with the Lieutenant
Governors vote, to control the body. The Re
pubicans of the State must keep their eyes open
In order TO forestall the Governor and prevent
the consummation OF his plans Democratic
Legislature with such man as Bill in the
Governors chair would mean serious disaster to
the State.
In the condensed account of the last hearing
on the Saxton bill teegraphed from Albany,
the representative of Tamnany was alleged TO have
described the labor organizations which favor the
bill as composed OF ignorant people who were
easily misled. It seems, however, that Ignorance
was imputed to certain labor leaders only in refer
ence to this bill and the effects Of its becoming
law. Tammany Hall thinks it is dIing workingmen
q favor by opposing this measure. good many
workingmen think otherwise; which Is SO much
the worse for Tammany
The German mentor at the conference to be
held in Berlin will be Weber, who has been the
evil genius Of Samoa for many years He left
the island in 1887, telling his friends that he
would return as the German Governor He was
in Washington during the conference, although bis
presence there was not generally known. After
coaching the German Minister, Mr.. Won Alyensie-
ben, he returned to Berlin, where he has been
constantly consulted by Prince Bismarck Weber
knows every inch Of ground in Samoa and is con-
versant with every detail of the controversy.
Becker who was Consul General last year, is also
at hand in Berlin as an adviser The German
case will be looked after by men who thoroughly
understand it. The American case will probably
be intrusted TO Mr. Coleman, since Dir Pendleton,
the American Minister, is reported to be too i'll
TO undertake it. All the advantages Of position
and superior knowledge favor the Germans.

II is not surprising that Professor Daniel O. Eat
on protests vehemently against the granting OF a
charter to company which proposes 10 run sire et
cars in New-Haven by electricity carried through
overhead wires The serious objections to this In
a city are so apparent that it is little less than
amazing that any company should have the assur-
ance to ask for such n privilege After the con-
vncing statement Of reasons made by Professor
Eaton, the Legislature OF Connecticut can have no
excuse for deciding in any way but adversely on
the company's application. IL is of paramount
Importance in all communities that the use Of
electricity for whatever purpose should not be a
source Of continual and deadly peril.

Tenth-ave. is followed closely by an attempt at
incendiarism in tenementhousc in Hester-st.
Not only was the building set on fire, but a
package of powder was placed in the cellar near
where the fire was started. BY good luck the
discovery was made in time to prevent the ex-
plosion and FIRE, which would have imperilled a
hundred lives. The motive for this dastardly
business is unknown, but the police believe they
have good description of the perpetrators Of it.
This affair and the dynamite explosion ought to
impel them to put forth their best efforts to hunt
the rascals down.

Governor Hill is evidently counting on the as
sistance Of the Republican Senate in displacing
certain officials known as Cleveland Democrats
and putting in Office men who will be service
able to himself. Probably the Republicans win
not lend themselves to these operations Not,
Of course, that they have any sympathy with the
Cleveland Democrats. The latter deserve pity,
perhaps rather than blame; at any rate, they
will when the scales finally fall from their eyes
and they behold the Cleveland dclusion in its
true colors. IL is sad thought that some of
them may be doomed to die without the sight.
There are none SO blind as those who resolutely
determine not to see.

The Torrey Botanical Club is sure Of many and
hearty good wishes in its endeavor to establish a
public botanical garden in Bronx Park That it
has a true conception OF the magnitude Of the
work il has engaged in is evident from the fact
that it has fixed the amount necessary to BE-
raised at not less than 81 10000 With such a
sum the work proposed could doubtless be carried
to handsome and satisfactory conclusion. 1t is
interesting TO note that the design already made
for the entrance TO the garden is 10 contain medal

COMMUNICATED We hope TO see numerous and gem
erous responses to the Torrey Clubs invitation

the location may seem somewhat out of the way,
it must be remembered that the city is extending
northward with amazing apidity. and that we
are planning not for the present alone but for all
the future.

Teach them How to Spell.

The Smyrna Public School is no ex.
ception to the general complaint of the
inattention to spelling instead of max
ing 1t the most important feature of
the scholastic days, not only in the
primary departments, but on to the
closing days Of the High School.
At the teachers convention in Hart
ford, last week, Gen. Joseph r. Haw-
ley made short and pithy address
which had much sound common sense
as well as concentrated wisdom in it.
lie spoke to the assembled pedagogues
with extreme bOldness and told them
some wholesome truths. One of these
truths was that regarding spelling.
lie thought the good old system of
learning to spell was commendabIe.
Herein Gen. Hawley was right. Spell
ing seems to be lost art in the schools
OF to-day. In a recent note from
graduate of high school three words
III every day use were misspelled-
words, too, which any scholar of ten or
twelve years of age ought to be able to
spell at once.
There was another letter from a
graduate of Cornell University, in
which there were several words
wrongly spelled. There is no excuse
for this. In the curriculum of the
modern school too much attention is
paid to the ornamental and not enough
to the sound, solid and useful. Before
the scholar understands his own Ian
guage he is taught Latin, French and
German. These three are useful, in a
sense, but the English is the more use
ful, and the pupils should be well
grounded, not only in writing and
speaking it correctly but in spelling it
correctly as well.

Hard Times in Dakota.

In certain parts of the two Dakotas
bad crops, the result of a nearly con-
tinus drOuth last summer, have caused
much destitutiOn and suffering. In
Older communities such a calamity
could be easily endured. The DakOtas
ordinarily have all the rain their
spOngy soil requires, and their people
will soon have reached that point in
material prosperity where an occasional
bad season can be borne with ease and
tranquility. But many of the farmers
who have lost the fruits of their first
planting have lost all they had. They
went 10 Dakota poor, took a quarter
section of public land, and when they
had builded themselves a home, dug a
well, put up their stables, broken ten
or twenty-acres of ground and sowed
a crop, they had used 6p all their re-
sources. Failure to such as these,
therefore, meant, and does now mean,
actual hardship Ofthe sternest kind.
There are as many as 1000 families
in North and South Dakota who were
thus situated, and kindhearted people
in the East can find no better way Ol
helping their fellow -mOrtals than by
relieving the necessity of these farmers
and their distressed families. Another
year will bring better days, and il
seems a cruel fate which Overwhelms
deserving persons when they are doing
the best they can for themselves and
are so near the goal offOrtune. Dakota
has wonderful soil and a climate
which goes as far toward insuring big
crops as climate ever can. But it is
not elysium and must occasionally en-.
counter evil conditions, That misfor
tune is now upon it, and we conf.
IDENTIFY look to public generosity to see
that its unhappy effects fall as lightly
as possible on those who are now in
sombre shadow.

WHOLE NO. l,788.
Judge Comegys Plants a Tree.

AT o'clock on Wednesday a num-
Der of people assembled in front of the
Court House at Georgetown to witness
Ine planting OF a tree by Chief Justice
Comegys. The hole was already pre-
pared and the Chief Justice addressed
the assembly as follows:
"Fellow citizens: At the October
term, 1888, of the Superior court of
this county, when this Court House
was completed, it was thought appro-
pirate by the people of the conntv at
tending upon court, that each of the
members of the judiciary should plant
one of the trees which were to orna-
ment the lot set apart in 1871 for a
Court House and on which the old
building, ..supplanted by the present
one, stood. The idea was carried ont
and at this spot where we now stand.
John NJ. Clayton, at that time Chief
justice OF the state, set tree which
grew and fourished in fine vigor until
the great cyclOnic gale which swept
our coasts with unexampled fury for
nearly the whole Of the second week
Oh september last. In the height of it
on the 10th dav of that month, the
chief Justices tree, as it was called
was entirely uprOoted. This tree
which is about to be set in its place, it
was thought proper should be planted
by me, his present successor, as well
to preserve the complement of hand
some trees around the Court House. as
to perpetuate the memory of his act
done titty-one years ago, before those
whose descendants are now assembled
to witness my service. now plant
this successor to the old tree, and
that when it shall be blown down or
perish, the then Chief Justice of the
State may he called upon to replace it
with another Of the same kind, a ma
tive maple, as its predecessor was"
