 THERE is little awakening over the pro- posed railroad through Rockville, Stafford, Wales, Sturbridge and Spencer to Worcester, and efforts are to be made to raise money for survey. If survey is made at the expense of these towns, it should when made be the property of the towns and open for use to any railroad that will use them. Stafford has be- fore now paid for railroad surveys, which are now not available for use except by those never likely to use them. We have not much confidence that the prospects are good for the immediate building of the proposed road, but it will be built sometime, ,and the towns should have in their possession copies of the surveys they pay for, either as towns or by individual subscriptions, for use by parties who may ultimately mean business. ...+
 TEE general expression of satisfaction over Judge Andrews promotion to the highest judicial position In the state is very fiattering to that gentleman. Gov. Andrews has rapid ly risen to his present position. He is but 54 years of age. He entered public life as re- publican representative from that staunch democratic town, Litchfeld, in 1878, was governor in 1879, and made judge of the su- perior court in 1881. When governor his chief of staff was the present president of the 1st National Bank of Stafford Springs, Col. Chas. l.. Dean, then an active young politic- ian of Windham county. He honored the office of governor, and as judge has given evidence of the possession of the very best judicial qualities.
 TEE house has killed by 30 majority the bill permitting the Housatonic railroad to "parallel" the N. Y. & N. H. road between New Haven and New York under the form of authorizing it to build ''branches" to cover the desired route. The fight has been warm, and both the interested railroads have SUD- ported expensive lobbies, freely dispensed champagne and costly dinners, to say nothing of more sterling forms of bribery The names of scores of members are openly dis cussed as having probably been unduly inlu- enced. In some'c cases injustice will no doubt be done in locating the pockets into which poodle has gone, but there are too many members who will suffer no injustice from any suspicion that attaches to them.
 THE following portion of an editorial from the Hartford Post is in relation to the over- flow from the Oklahoma boomers, who are settling upon the Cherokee strip, in anticipa- ton that the government will also open that additional territory to settlers. After saying that the Indians do not wish to dispose of the territory, The Post says:
 s'They hope, very likely, to get better price by postponing the negotiations and talk ing advantage of the increasing clamor for homesteads but they will be disappointed. Tha government is willing to pay them fair price, but nothing more. If they refuse to accept what they are offered, then they will have to take what they can get, which may prove to be less than is now within their reach. The fact that the Cherokee title to the strip must soon be surrendered on some terms is beyond any doubt. It is necessary that the land shall be opened to settlement, and way will be found to reach that result and that without encroaching upon the rights of the Indians at all. The strip can be opened up honorably, and 1t will be-"
 The old proverb, then, needs to be amend ed: ''It takes one to make bargain"
