WmL1MANT1c's desire to furnish the site for the second state normal school will be sympa- thized with by nearly every town of this sec- tion of Eastern Connecticut, for whose bene- fit the school is to be established. The cen- tral location of Willimantic, its railways reaching out in six different directions, gives the place the one great advantage that schol- ars from nearly two-score different towns can enjoy the privileges of the school, and live at home. It is the country towns that furnish pupils for the normal schools, as the register of every such school will show. Therefore the location should be one to accommodate the greatest number of such towns. Stafford has particular interest in the Willimantic location, having good railway access thereto. The present state school is remote, pupils in this vicinity frequently going to Massachusetts schools in preference. Visits home from New Britain must necessarily be unfrequent. Therefore parents consider it serious ob- jection to send their children there, enforc- ing long interval of absence or else consid- erable expense in journeys for visits home. Moderate communication rates could be got for pupils sent to Willimantic, so that they could board at home.

NEW WORKERS are being cousined to death in view of the coming centennial. Those who live along the line to be followed by the procession are most affectionately remembered by every one who has hopes of being invited to share their hospitality-and outlook. Win dows along the line of march readily rent at from $50 to $2OO each Seats on stands over looking the same at 50 cents to $3. During all, be it said to their credit, the hotels keep to their usual rates, ask no premiums for front rooms, and give regular customers the pref erence in engagements for the day. Every inch of sightseeing space will be packed, and many who visit the city will have opportunity to see little else than the crowd. There are two days of processioning, however, and the city will be beautiful with decorations, it. luminations and pageantry, the harbor and its part in the celebration being open to ob- servation of an unlimited number.

s I am amused at the republicans who are finding fault with the president for not turning all the democrats out in the six weeks he has been in office. That is the same way some democrats talked about President Cleveland. That brooches mak- CT from Philadelphia, Wannamaker, seems to be running the guillotine on full time. I am told he is pious cuss. Piety is a good thing to have in an administration, I suppose, but am afraid am drifting into politics. s.-Alle,a O. Thurman, as reported Ssa Washington Post.

LOST-FOUND.

LOST. Lost, doubly lost, o Lord, the years apart from Thee; Lost, gone forever, grief nor tears can bring them back to me. Lost, mid the worlds keen, anxious strife, in search of worldly gain Lost delving deep in earthly lore to ease my hearts sore pain. Lost, deeming human love would fill my life's great needs; Lost lost, o Lord, and naught remains save memory of misdeeds.
 FOUND. Found, found at last, o Lord, the path that leads to Thee Found, by humbly yielding self Thy holy will to see. Found, by Thy priceless gift of faith, gift immeasurably dear; Found, through the precious blood of Christ, through penitence and fear. Found, through the cross, through mercy found, thro' Gods great love for me Bound, found at last, to Him give thanks and praise eternally. 8. J.F. Springfield, Palm Sunday, 1889.

IT borders on the unaccountable that more would-be settlers are hanging on the borders of Oklahoma than there are sections of land for within the to-be-opened territory. Not until the 22d are the emigrants allowed to enter the territory. Those who had already located claims before the proclamation open ing the territory was issued were sent outside to take their chance with the rest, and on the morning of the 22d there will begin a race for the coveted locations unparalleled in his tory. It will be ''puss in the corner" game, and the hindmost ones will have to sadly re- trace their steps. But Uncle Sam has 8 farm for everybody. The choice is not linited to Oklahoma, though, as stolen fruits seem sweetest, perhaps these farms, which are got by practically breaking faith with the In- dians, are the more desirable for that reason. Trouble is feared, however, from contests be- tween those who have already located claims and those who may be first to enter the same in the land offices.

Connecticut had 8 some- what better record in the revolutionary war than New York, and the ''Sons" of this state are not inclined to hang to the tail board of any other state society.

Hartford Times: Alone, in the press of Connecticut, if not of New England, for over forty years the Times has been an op- ponent of the law of capital punishment. It can, therefore, with all the more signlfi- canoe now say that this case is one which, if any murderer ever deserved the bar barous punishment of the gallOws, loudly calls for that old Mosaic recompense Swift richly deserves his fate. We have no wish to have that miserable young man hung up by the neck It would better please us if he were sentenced instead to hopeless life imprisonment. But there can be no secure life imprisonment until, accompany ing the abolition of the gallows, a clause is inserted in the Constitution of Connecti- cut, that no murderer, in prison, under Q sentence to life imprisonment, shall ever, under any circumstances, be pardoned out, unless the court which tried him finds im- portant new evidence in his favor.
 Superintendent Britton of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad says there is no truth in story that the employees are planning 8 strike against the company's insurance scheEee. The insurance feature, he says, was adopted by the road in 1882, and there has never been any order issued to compel the employees to become members. The matter is left entirely optional with them. The rate of insurance charged is less than could be procured from any other insur- ance company for the same benefits. Mir. Britton said he had heard of no dissatis- faction until the meeting at South Chicago Saturday night He believes that insur- ance agents are responsible for the dissat. iofo ookion

THE report of Secretary Hine in the portion relating to the astonishing illiteracy of our "back district schools is astonishing and hu- muiliating. And yet we cling to the old sys- tenn that fosters such things. We have town boards of school visitors, but they are power less to change it. The district committee man often seeks his position for the patron age it gives him, and the position of teacher is the perquisite of his office to be given where it will help out some relative, who per- haps regards drawing the little stipend as the chief duty of the teacher. Connecticut, with all its advantages, is behind the rest of New England in school matters, and the re- port of Secretary Hine is exciting comment outside and drawing ridicule upon our state. It is humiliating, but the case demands he- roic treatment, and it is we'll that the secre- 4ary is not afraid to employ it. On another page we copy at length from the Hartford Times concerning this matter

THE commissioners of Holland county are not to be limited to drawing pay for 25 days in each year, the legislative caucus of Holland county members voting down the schemn. If we have board which cannot be trusted with out such restraint to keep their itching fingers away from the peoples money the proper remedy is to get new board. There are men enough in the county who are hon. orable and trusty, as we'll as capable. If there has been venality in the past, however, no harm has been done in drawing attention to it, nor in establishing watch upon the fu- ture. Beyond the time given to supervision of the county children's home the duties of the commissioners have not been increased during the past few years.

SAN FRANcIsoo, April 26.-Mail advices
by the steamship Rio Janeiro, which ar
rived Thursday from Shanghai and Yoko-
hama, say: On the 5th of March, Mr.:
IaughIin wrote from his new center Of
distribution, Pi-Pz.Kou, as follows, with
regard to the famine: :, /,
7tThere is not much new to be added
to what have written before. All that
/ said about our villages and the people
about Yenkia Fag-Ty, is true. Those
here having received no aid during the
winter are in a more deplorable condi.
tion than the former. Their houses are
bare well-to-do persons are rare, and
the famine color is frightfully common.
In fact, nearly every person one meets
bears unmistakable marks of long-con-
tlnued fasting. The last, or one of the
last stages, is swollen condition of the
whole body, including the face, eyelids,
ETC., and in the village now l meet
these cases in great numbers. For them
death is not far off. In every village
death is reaping rich harvest, the only
harvest these suffering people have
known for o year."

The Anti-Jesuit Movement.

MONTREAL, April 26.-The anti-J esuit
meeting held last night was in session
until midnight. The whole question was
considered, and the action of the Domin-
ion Government and Provincial Legisla-
ture freely discussed. The impression
seemed to be that crisis is at hand, and
that it became Anglo-Saxons to prepare
for blow which it was felt must come.
Charlton, Member of Parliament, said
there was no hope of preserving intact
the French language and institutions.
If the present state Of affairs continued,
the Church of Rome would soon possess
two-thirds of the estate of the Province.
