A MICHIGAN paper called candidate
for Congress fool aud declared him
mentally unfit for such an office. He
was elected and sued the paper for
libel. The paper demasred and the
demurrer was sustained by the court
in this railing
The Constitution has fixed no grade
of mind which is Necessary to qualify
3 person for a seat In Congress.
There is no moral delinquency, but
IN effect the imputaIion is that the
plaintiff. candidate for member OF
Congress, is ignorant, uneducated, and
mentally disqualified to represent the
people OF this district In that body.+ y
In view of those publications, | think
II canpst ibe held that they were libel
Gus. The demurrer should be sus-
tanned.
That is to say, a fool can go TO Con-
grees In default of constitutional
provision excluding him, aad it Is no
libel to say that man il too big a
fool for that office.

Bonanza Senators.

A Washington correspondent of the
San Francisco Chronicle devotes y
chapter to the California and Nevada
Senators and their standing in the Sen
ate. He holds that they are too rich
to be of any service US representatives
of the people. He puts down Stanford
as being worth S40,0O0,00o, Hearst ST.
100000, Jones $4,000,000 and Stewart
81 100000, and asserts that an entire

gone by without some of these gentle
men opening their mouths on the floor
OF the Senate or in the committee

GLAImS THE TOWN.

Another Claimant For the Whole O1
 Connecticut town.
 Another prospective claimant for the town of Stratford has made himself known. His name is J. D. Patterson, and he is a person prominent in official circles in New York city. He says F. E. Patterson of Portland, Oregon, is not the only claimant to the sale of the Connecticut town of Stratford; he, also-J. D. Patterson-is great-great- grand- child of Hezekiah Patterson, ir., who was one of the children of the original Hezekiah Patterson, who landed on the shores of Stratford in 1889 and settled there. The property was willed to Hezekiah, jr., and his sister, Mary, who, after the death of Hezeki- ah, ST., were mysteriously spirited away by their mother, who married a man named Gray, and in order to retain the property herself gave her children to Mir. Barnes of New York. A few years ago Abijah Patter- son, resident of RoxburY, died. J. D. Pat- terson, the new claimant for one million dol lars worth of land at Stratford, now has in his possession proof showing that he is 8 di- rect descendant of Abijah Patterson, who in turn was grandchild or great-grandchiid of the original Hezekiah Patterson.
 The matter seems to be growing more complicated, and there is certain prospect of more claimants taking hand in the re- cent revelations.
 When the will was made, more than cen- tury ago, by Hezekiah Patterson, this coun- try was under the control of King George; and eminent authorities say that, owing to this act, the claims can more easily be prov en valid. Attorney J. P. Goodhart will dur ing the next few days, begin the oyerhauling of Stratford's musty records to solve the mystery of the Patterson claims.

TWO MEMORABLE WINTERS.
The Present one, and the Winter O
 1S2Es2R.

Among the indications of an "open winter'' not yet published in the Times, 8 gentleman from a neighboring town reports seeing and hearing on Tuesday that cheery little bird of spring, the phoebe, an extremely rare experi- ence in a Connecticut January. The note of the phoebe was heard also in Hartford about tine 1st of January. It is musical, and it comports with the multitudinous ridges caused by the ground moles, already report ed, and with the new growth of some of the towering spring plants. During the pouring ''southeaster" Wednesday night the reporter took lantern and examined the ground about garden and lawn, and found hundreds on hundreds of earth worms. These were coming up by the hundred, as thickly as they are ever seen in any night of summer, and hundreds on hundreds more 'tout" and craw- ling about
 Mrs J. E. Heald, of Tariffville, picked on the 10th of January full blown pansy. On the same day, in Wallingford, pansies were in blossom and the farmers blowing. It is the same in New Jersey, where the swell ing buds on fruit and other trees cause an apprehension that disaster will follow when the inevitable cold weather comes.
 Lilac buds are reported much swollen in the region about Hartford, where the lawns are still green.
 The Hon. David Clark, in another column, refers to the winter of 1S25-26 as having been just such winter as this. It is we'll re- membered winter as the mildest on record; 1; but it can be said of it, that snow came late, even in spring. On the 9th of April, 1926, the snow here was foot deep, coming after the people had their grounds planted. And it fingered for week.-HartfoId Times.

ENLIGHTENED IN STREET CAR. What a Passenger May Learn If He
 Keeps His Eyes open.


 There seems to be no end to the curious bits of family and individual history that one may pick up now and then in horse cars. In one of these vehicles, coming from rath- CT humble portion of the town the other day, were couple, evidently husband and wife, who looked as if they had often had a pretty hard tug with the problem how to ex- ist. Poverty, indeed, was written all over them; yet withal they each wore look of careless good nature that amounted almost to happiness, and it was quite apparent that they were all the world to each other. Pretty soon they left the car, the man helping his wife out with much importance as if they were both among the first in the land. Soon as they got out of ear range up spoke a wo- man who knew them:
 "There goes the shiftliest pair in this town. declar' if didn't know who they was root n branch I should say they want Yankees. sh'd say they was Irish or some other kind O foreigners. That man, Bill Small, he'd bin out O work for months-never kin keep no work enny length O time, ennyhow-and tother day he got somethin' to do. Well. fust money he got, instead O layin' of it out on needfuls for themselves and the children declsr' to goodness eff he didn't go out and bring home mess O ice cream and lot O other stuff that she liked, and if they didn't all sit down and have the biggest jollifca- tion you ever see. Well, I see it through the winder, and jest goes in n gives 'em a piece O my mind. You aughter be ashamed O yourself Bill Small,' sez I. "Why," sez he, Sarah ain't he'd thing she enjoyed to eat for weeks, and if the same thing should happen again next week, why, we'll have this good time to think about and laugh over together. Now what do you think of that?''
 The whole horse car full thus enlightened may have had different opinions, but they wore 8 unanimous smile, and looked as if they thought Bill Smalrs philosophy may not have been so bad after all.

 The tumble in the fJea York and New England stock this week and the rush to get out of the stock has led operators to the con- clusion that there has been no change in the control, and that it remains with the Stand ard Oil people, who hold it through couple of well known Broad street breaerage houses. Even these people, while they hold enough to control the property, have not a majority of the stock. The selling of the stock this week was largely by owners whoghsye been holding it for long while, and wRs not due to an attack by the bears.

What ssPecuIiar" Means.

Applied to Hoods Sarsaparilla, the word peculiar is of great importance. It means that Hoods Sarsaparilla is different from oth- CT preparations in many vital points, which make it 8 thoroughly honest and reliable medicine. It is peculiar in a strictly medical sense. First, in the combination of remed- ial agents used; second, in the proportion in which they are prepared; third, in the pro- cess by which the active curative properties of the medicines are secured. Study these points well. They mean volumes They make Hoods Sarssparilla peculiar in it's curative power as it accomplishes wonderful cures hitherto unknown and which give to Hoods Sarsaparilla clear right to the title of ''the greatest blood purifier ever discov- ered.p
