The Swell orthc senat,.

For the first ten days of the special session
| OF the senate, says the Washington cores
pondent OF the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the
the attire of the new senator from Colorado
attracted no special attention. This was be-
cause MIR. Wocott was in new and untried
field and, so to speak, was feeling his way
Remarkable as it may seem, he lacked self
assurance. He soonRot over that feeling of
dlffidence, however, and returned to his
natural state-a state which has resulted in
the amazement of his fellow members in the
senate and the Wonderment of the galleries.
He has bloomed forth most gorgeously in
clothes, which, If Carlyle were alive, he
would make the subject of "a new edition of
the Sartor Resartus, or the philosophy of
Clothes. He promises to cut almost as great
figure in the annals of the senate as did
Tabor with his diamonds and nghtshirts of
surprising value. While Tabor ran to
nightshirts and diamonds, Wolcott runs to
trousers, vest, coats and scarfs. Both are
abou equally great in their different lines,
but Wolcott has, slight advantage in the
comparison over Tabor. In addition to his
clothes he has . diamond as big as an Ohio
meeting house in rural district. This dia-
mond he wears in Q peck scarf, the color and
the day before he left the senate, pointing to
certain scratches upon his desk made by his
diamond cuff buttons, said "Visitors to this
chamber can see that as a senator have
maue my marx" WolcoIt When ne departs,
can say: Although didn't have very much
to do with legislation, go with the placid
assurance the me aud my duds' have
knocked the senate and the senate galleries
silly"

In Europe and in this country the past week
has been gloomy--for spectators No disturb
ance appears yet on either side OF the ocean
which seriously threatens productive industry
or legitimate trade But speculation has a
black eye in Paris, and London, New York, Boston
and Chicago. Copper, stocks and grain have
suffered. The syndicate az Paris and the Inter
state Association in this country have not
answered the expectations of those who trusted
In them. The extent Of the losses in Paris may
be judged from the statement that the second
bank in France is under investigation TO deter
mine whether IL can be saved from complete
wreck and the statement is made that IL will
need 20, 900, 900 francs more, after the loan OF
100000 francs advanced by the Bank OF
France, while for making that loan the manage
nent Of the Bank Of France has been compelled
to consider the resignation Of the president and
one or moro directors. So far, the small sales
Of copper to Germany and other remedial measures
reported are quite inadequate IN meet the dini.

over S50,000,000 locked up in copper, with

DEMOCRACY AGAINST BALLor6EfoRM

DEMOCRACY AGAINST BALLoThEf0RM
So in New York, as in Indiana, there must
be a 3" Democratic bilp' as to purity of elections.
In this, as in many other States, Republicans
have matured bill which embodies the pro-
visions found most effective TO prevent fraud.
to restrain bribery, and to secure to each legal
" qualified citizen perfectly free vote. In
this State, for the express purpose OF avoiding
the objections of q Democratic Governor, the
measure has been modified so far that even his
political friends have admitted it would tax
his ingenuity to the utmost TO find further OBJ
lection. Then the Democratic members vote
| solidly against the measure thus modified, and
at once Democratic bilp' is offered.
The first thing which win occur to any rea-
sonable citizen of either party, who sincerely
desires Ballot Reform, is that there ought to
be no parisanship about this question. 1t
ought to be the object of every honest Demo
GRAFT as of every honest Republican, to put an
end to fraud and corruption, no matter which
party may at any time or In any locality have
profted by wrongdoing Nor is there any
difference between parties as to the kind Of
| improper methods employed by the bad men
| of either. The measures necessary to secure
| free and honest elections must therefore be
equally supported by both, If both are equally
honest and sincere in desiring reform. Yet
/ the fact is that measure which has been
tested and has proved efficacious, having been
passed by Republican Legislature, is vetoed
| by Democratic Governor on various frivolous
| pretexts and when measure framed to avoid
his objections is submitted, Democratic Nom
| bers unanimously vote against fixing day for
it's consideration, and offer a partisan measure
instead.
The self-evident purpose is to prevent the
| final adoption of any measure OF reform, and
yet if possible, to give the Governor some new
pretext for refusing to approve any which the
Legislature may pass That is, it becomes a
distinct feature Of Democratic policy in this
| State to prevent and defeat Ballot Reform as
| far as possible. This is in perfect accord with
the practices OF the same party in other States.
1.-THE labor organization in New-Jersey offered
o bill; the Democratic party contriyed not to
consider IT, In other States where measures
embodying the substantial features Of the
/ Australian method have been adopted IL has
| been mainly by Republican votes, and against
the opposition of most Of the Democrats. In
| Indiana dishonest substitute, expressly con-
| triyed to increase the power Of Democratic par
tisan officials to pepetrate frauds, has met with
the favor Of Democratic Legislature. In
/ Southern States, where Democrats make lava
TO suit themselves, there is not one which has
any decent provision against fraud.

mendsbly patriotic spirit. A meeting was held
yesterday, at which representatives Of 300
German American societies were present, and
it was decided to take an active part in the CEN
tennial celebration on the 30th Of April. They
expect to have at least 200 men in the parade
on that important occasion. This action shows
that our acclimated German immigrants are
not only with us, but Of us; and right good
citizens they make, too.
News comes from Hayti that the warning
forces there are beginning to shoot prisoners.
Legitime, if the report may be believed, began
this deplorable feature of the fighting by exc
cutting twelve men captured in battle with
Hyppolite's forces in which the latter claimed
the victory. Anger generated by this defeat
may have been tho motive that led to the butch
cry Of the hapless wretches, and Hyppolite, in
a spirit of retaliation, is said to have issued
orders that all prisoners taken in battle here
after shall be shot. What effect this phase Of
the trouble viii have on the fighting mood Of
the natives remains to be seen. Is it not high
time any way, that this tempest in tea
poe' was brought to an end?
The principal reason for Senator Chace's
resignation is said to be that he can no longer
afford to live in Washington on the salary
which Senator receives. This fact, and the
discussion had in the Senate last week, In which
Senator Platt. made some plain remarks, will
direct the attention of the people to subject
on which action win probably not be long post
poned. Members of both houses of Congress
are reported TO be sensitive about proposing
an increase in their compensation, mainly be-
cause Of the outcry over the back-pay grab.
Nobody wants to see q repetition Of that un-
sayory business; but proper addition to their
salaries is matter which the members Of the
National Legislature and voters in general may
discuss to advantage

Friday of last week was day long to be remembered by our towns people. It was the occasion of re-opening the Cong1 church for worship after being thoroughly renovated. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers. The exercises consisted of re-opening servi- ces and memorial services. The reopen ing service began at II a. m., conducted by the pastor, and the Revs John De Pen and l.. Warner taking part. There was also statement given by the chair man of the committee, stating how much money had been expended, etc. The pulpit furniture and altar table were individual gifts. A bountifnl collation. was served at noon, in the town hall. The afternoon was devoted to memorial service. Tablets have been placed in the church in memory of the Rev Jonathan Lee, the first CongI pastor settled in this town, and one who labored faithfully here for A years, from 1774 to 1798 Also one in memory of the Rev Adam Reid. D. D., who occupied the pulpit here for 40 years. The tablets were presented by Messrs J. and N. c. Scoville. Proceeding the memorial service, John Calvin, infant son of the Rev J. C. Goddard, was presented for baptism. Then followed an address of congratulation. given by the Rev l.. Fl. Reid, of Hartford; mem orial of the Rev J. Lee. given by the pastor memorial of the Rev Adam Reid, D. D., by the Rev W W Andrews, who was an intimate friend of the deceased. Mir Andrews delivered the sermon when MT Reid was ordained pastor of this church in 1887. Robert Reid, M, D., of Boston. son of the Rev A. Reid, was present and was next called upon. He spoke some fitting words in memory of his father and mother A letter was read from J. Reid and Mrs B. s. Thompson, of Chicago, who could not be present also one from the Rev c. Mitchell, who had been invited to take part in the exer- cises, but was unable to be present.
