OUR esteemed and venerable contem- porary the American has changed its form to an eight page sheet, and while it has lost the distinctive individuality which belonged to it by the associations of years it has lost none of the general excellence that has characterized it's columns. There is about the American a certain quiet dignity and unobtrusive daintiness of touch in all that it treats which finds an echo in the hearts of the constituency te which it caters. The unimpulsive, unimaginative and some what negative spirit of the mugwump scintillates in it's columns, but there is withal an air of venerable repose and easy enterprise that endears it to the ancient citizens of the community. Never frisky, thoughtless, wayward or dashing, it's sins are of the kind that even an anchorite would tolerate, and in it's new form it may be expected to con- tinue in the ways of holiness and ln- offensive quietude that have earned it the confidence and good will of an an cient and long lived constituency. That it may go on in its prosperity is the wish of it's more youthful contemporary the DEMOCRAT.

THE SECOND IN GOOD HANDS.
 In advancing Colonel J. B. Doherty to the command of the Second regiment the officers of that organization did a wise act, and one that insures the con- tinuance of the high standard of mili- tary excellence and efficiency that has characterized the Second since the days of Coloqel Smith. There is no man in the entire command who by virtue of astual experience in the National Guard as well as natural aptitude would bring higher qualifications to the position. Genial, courteous and dignifed, of sol dierly bearing and correct military de pertinent, Colonel Doherty will bring to the discharge of his duties those qualities that have made him successful in the other positions of honor he has held in r+he regiment.

That IS tc say, the savings banks have paid S2.O51 on S1O, and the operatives would hay received S259 on every $10 of wages canned by them. In the light of the opportunities and possibilities offered by the pla' the operatives are urged to as- sist in it's success by being prompt and industrious, by being careful about waste, by looking out that the in&chlneTy. is turning off the best quality O. york as well as the largest quantity, and whenever there is :. vacancy, ny incu"- ing only the best plan of help to apply. and by taking an interest in the prosper ity of the Bourne mills. in which they are to share.
 The result of the experiment will be watched with deep interest by employers and employees generally. Not many plans of this kind have been tried in thie country, and those that have been have not been attended with any great sue cess Should the Bourne mills plan have better luck it might perhaps oe taken up as the proper and reasonable solution of the relations between capital aid iabol that ght to be more harmonious thar they have beer ill the past. If employees could be convinced that attention to their work would insure them fair dividenu on the profits accruing to thei' opop;ovorc tharo uould in all OrObaDiIitx be less of that antagonism and distrust that now keeps up an interminable con- flict between interests that ought to b. identical. And there would be less fer tlle ground for the propagation of social ism. communism and other social here sies that threaten the good order nnd stability of the country.

THE New Britain Independent agreel with us in believing that the last nationas democratic convention made a mistake and trusts it will not be repeated, and asks us if, supposing the same mistake is made again, we will sanction the mis- take by supporting it. We can assure our esteemed contemporary that the same mistake is not going to be made again. The next convention will nomi- nate a democrat, and no apologies will have to be made by any democratic organ for his principles. A man who cannot hold his party together, who is supported only by mugwumps and a rapidly diminishing section of the dem- ocratic party, will not be taken up by a convention whose members will have three years in which to study the logic of defeat Defeated candidates must be satisfied with back seat in the demo- cratic party. That's the teaching of ex- perience. Any mistakes that are made in 1892 will not be made by the demo- crats, but by the other fellows.

IT is sad to think of the great wide waste of opportunity that will yawn be- fore the eyes of the Chicago reporters when this Cronin business is all cleared up. The ingenious theories matched out by these amateur Hawkshaws would do credit to Charles Dickens or Alexander Dumas.

PROFIT SHARING AT FALL RIVER.
 The plan of profit sharing announced . by the Bourne Mills corporation at Fall i River last May went into effect yester- day, circular announcing the fact and outlining the plan being distributed among the operatives.
 According to this circular the plan of | profit sharing is very simple. The first principle is that the employees shall share with the stockholders. For every S1O0 ] in cash dividend paid to the stockholders ! within six months the operatives are to receive at least S6. Upon the back of ] the certificate cards are columns in which the employees may enter, from week to week, the wages they have earned. The sum of these wages for twenty-six weeks, from July 1 to De- cember 2S inclusive, will be the amount upon which their dividend, or share of profits, will be computed. The second that the man, woman or child who con- tinues faithful and diligent to the end
 of the six months shall be entitled to
 share thus-involves what is called the tontine plan; that is, person who for any reason leaves or is discharged be- fore the end of the six months loses his share, but this part Is not to be kept by
 the corporation for its own use, but will
 be distributed among those who remain
 An ''excuse' may be obtained by those who are obliged to be absent for time, and upon returning to work they will receive in proportion to the wages act
 ually earned by them. The third princi- pie is that the plan shall in no way affect the rate of wages, or the disci- pline, which shall remain exactly as if
 no such plan had been adopted. The
 more employees earn, as individuals, the
 greater will be their proportion of divi-
 dend; the more work they do, the better quality of it, and the less waste there is
 made will add, not only to the profits,
 but to their individual share. It is claimed in the circular that if the plan
 had been i'll force during the past six months, upon the basis first proposed
 the operatives would have received upon
 every dollar of wages earned by them during that time dividend of more than 26 per cent, which is above the

AN ADDITIONAL ASSEMBLY.

AN ADDITIONAL ASSEMBLY.
 According to the Hartford Post, a sug gestion has recently been made that per haps.. the repnted degeneracy of legisla- lures can be corrected by providing an additional assembly. That is to say, tc have one meet biennially as now for the purpose of making appropriations anc such like mere administrative acts. Then provision might be made for another, once in five years, which shall have the power of legislation. It is held by the person making the suggestion that to this body would be attracted the men capable of making laws men who know the scientific bases of laws, who are well informed as to what can and cannot be done by public or private act.
 The plan outlined here, if it could be carried out, might not perhaps be wholly without merit. Certainly the experi- ences of the session just finished showed the want of men trained in legislation and with character and judgment to mark out a line Of conduct independent of extraneous sources. Not ill the his tory of our commonwealth was the lobby ever so large CT impudent as that which influenced some of the legislation of tine session, and it is not likely that with as- semblies made up as they now are the lobbyist will ever te wholly un influen- tial character when legislation of SD much importance to private and corpo- rate interests is in the balance. 1t might be possible, with the constitution so arr ranged as to provide therefor, to have all additional assembly made up of the best men of the various communities who would meet say once II nva Q, even ill ten years 10 revise, amend and enact the laws of the state. But whether in reality such a legislative assembly | would be brought together and it's mem bers be chosen for their qualifications | alone independent of property interests or political affiliations is wholly uncer tain indeed, it seems probable that those interests which would be affected by legislation would take hand, as they do now, in the selection of the members of the assembly. And by so doing they would defeat the very object proposed by the plan, which is to get rid of as- semblymen who are susceptible of brib- cry in the discharge of their legislative duties.
 It looks as if there were no remedy for existing conditions and we must go on having legislatures whose members are amenable to the influences of large pri- vate and corporate interests and are more concerned with the grist that comes to their own mill than that which goes into the hoppers of the public. A state where the legislature is made up to represent only a minority of the people is little disposed to let go of privileges and possibilities it now enjoys, and any progress toward better things would be certain to go down before the clash of private greed. But if biennial sessions
 were to give place to quadrennial meet ings it might be a step forward towards
 the lessening if not the eradication ot the evils that are now such a burning shame to Connecticut.
