DENYING A GOVERNOR.


How the People of Connecticut Rebe1led
Against Tyranny in 1898.
Long before the war by which the
thirteen American colonies became in
dependent States, they were often en-
gagged in struggles to prevent royal
Governors from encroaehing on their
rights and privileges. In the autumn
of 1858, Governor Fletcher, of New
York, went to Hartford to assert there
his authority as commander-in-chief of
the militia of Connecticut.
The royal commission had entrusted
him with large powers over the militia
of the colony, and he ordered it out.
though the season for parades had
ended, and the charter of Connecticut
denied his jurisdiction.
II will not set my foot out of this
colony said Fletcher, haughtily, to
the Governor, until l have seen his
Maiesty's commission obeyed."
The Connecticut Governor yielded
so far as to order Captain Wadsworth
to call out the train-bands of Hartford
The result is described in Lossing's
History of the Empire State.
When the troops were assembled,
Fletcher stepped forward to take COM
mand and ordered his aid to read his
Excellency's commission. Captain
Wadsworth ordered the drums to be
beaten.
"Silencer' angrily cried Fletcher,
and the aid began to read.
Drum! drumm shouted Wadsworth,
and the roll OF the drums drowned the
aids voice.
"Silencer again cried the enraged
Governor. and threatened the Captain
with punishment
Wadsworth stepped in front of the
furious Governor, rested his hand Cd
his sword, and said, calmly: III my
drummers are interrupted again I'll
make the sunlight show through you'll
We deny aud defy your authority"
The Governor folded up his COM
mission, returned to New York, and
complained to the King of his treat
ment; but nothing came of his COM

A CHECK ON CORPORAL TANNER.

The mystery of the order of Secretary
Noble, to the effect that removals are
not TO be made by the bureau officers OF
the Interior Department without his
knowledge or order, and not without
examination of the papers in the several
cases, is at last explained. II is especi-
ally directed to Corporal Tanner, who
seems to have overlooked the fact that
the Commissioner of Pensions is
bureau officer, subordinate TO the Secre-
tary of the Interior. Corporal Tanner
upon entering upon his office, made pro
clamation Of his purpose TO make quite
extensive removals, and was proce edinR
TO do So He did not stop to ask wi hether
he had superior officer. or whether
that officer had policy. His attention
has been called to that fact by the gen
eral order of Secretary Noble, The lat,
ter desires to have the Commissioners of
Pensions and all other bureau officers
understand that he is the Secretary oi
the Interior, and that as he is RESPONSE
BILE for the conduct OF the department he
intends to have voice in the removals
If any, that are to he made. This will
be a severe check to the policy OF Cor
