NEW HAVEN MADE HAPPY.

The caucus of New Haven county representatives yesterday at Hartford voted to cede to the city of New Haven whatever right, title or interest the county may have in the old state house. This was generous act and one that may y~remove some serious complications when the perennial chestnut ofzrepair- ing the pile is again brought to the con- sideration of New Haven voters. Per haps the representatives had this in mind and desired to smooth the way for the generations of New Haven town born that are yet to come. Or possibly some of them have heard that New Ha- ven has base ball nine and they may have wanted to provide fitting mauso- leum to cover the remains of the city's experience with the national game.
 In either case New Haven should be deeply grateful for the kindness of the county representatives. The Elm city may be happy yet. you bet.

THAT WATERBURY COURT.

By the action of Governor Bulkeley in vetoing the bill conferring criminal ju- risdietion on the district court in this city and the subsequent action of the house in laying the matter on the table it is more than probable that the scheme is dead for the present. It is not at all probable, however, that any public in- terests will suffer materially in conse- quence.
 It seems trifie singular that our local lawyers should have discovered such a pressing need for an additional criminal tribunal and that their minds should have undergone such a sudden transfer nation after it was found that one of their number was not to secure the coveted judgeship. And it seems some what peculiar, too, that both branches of the legislature could be so easily i'm pressed with the necessity of the case while it appeared possible that the original scheme would not miscarry. It is not recorded that after the caucus decision was registered any of those who were impressed with the necessity of the court when the scheme was first broached put themselves to any inconvenience to prove to Governor Bulkeley that such a court was needed. Perhaps to one who reads between the lines some of the proceedings in the leg islature might be more readily compre- hended in the light of the history of this court bill. If the whole story of the bill should ever be made public-and he who runs may read many of it's details it will not reflect any great credit on some of the parties principally concerned in the whole transaction.
 Meanwhile, as we remarked above, it is not probable that any interests will suffer by the death of the scheme-un-
 less. forsooth, it be the interests ::of those
 who were looking for the salaries that
 would be created when it was thoroughly matched

WILLIAM c. HILL of Canton, who has been commissioned by Governor Bulke ley to carry the resolutions passed by the legislature on the death of John Bright to the family of the deceased, will have a very pleasant junket at the expense of the state. He is to receive S1 ,00O for his services and have all his expenses paid by the state. MT Hill and his friends will probably remember Governor Bulke- ley in his future political ambitions so, too, possibly will the taxpayers. And the latter will probably hope that no more distinguished foreigners will die if they are to attract the attention of our republican legislature and republi- can governor. It is a pleasant way to discharge political debts, but the taxpayers may be pardoned if they cry out against any more of it.

SENATOR'S IN A HUFF.

President Harrison has brought war on himself by his persistent snubbing of Senators Cullom and Farwell of Illinois. From the day of his inauguration he has steadily refused to grant these men any thing in the line of patronage, and now he has piled on the last straw by making MT Wilcox collector of internal revenue in the Eighth district of their state in opposition to the united protests of both senators. It is announced that both men will stand together for their sena- torial prerogatives, and when Mir Will cox's name comes up for nomination there may be some interesting scenes in the senate chamber.
 To those who are familiar with the public career of President Harrison his action in this instance is no surprise. When he was member of the senate he was an ardent seeker after spoils to reward his henchmen, and so persistent was he in their pursuit that MT Blaine, while President Gartield's secretary of state. once remarked that Harrison had
 
 than there were on the whole list. No sooner, however, had he become presi- dent than this senatorial right of office brokerage became irksome to him, and with that priggish disregard which he has shown for those who labored to put him where he is he has shown sort of ghoulish glee ill refusing all concessions to senator's He has succeeded i'll the short time that he has been president in stirring up more hatred among the poli- ticians of his party and more discord among the rank and file of republican workers than he could remove if he spent the rest of his term ill that special occupation. This, too, not so much from any indisposition to keep his hum gry followers out of the fruits of their victory as from his selfish delight in doing everything contrary to the advice and counsel of the leaders of the party.
 Senators Cullom and Farwell are very bitter in their denunciation of the presi- fact that in snubblng them he has pleased Congressman Cannon does not serve to lessen the indignity in their eyes. It may be that with his peculiar facility for offending republican senators Presi- dent Harrison may be compelled to fall back upon democratic support to secure confirmation of his nominations. In such case there would be a curious state of affairs, indeed, and the situation would be more than interesting to the democrats. Senators Cullom and Farwell backed by Quay and Ingalls, and the others who are writhing under the presi- dents uppishness, could touch him in a vital spot if they would refuse to con firm the nomination of some of the many relatives he has named for office. That would be hitting him ill his pocket, which has always been tender spot with Benjamin Harrison.
 Suppose they try it once. We venture to suggest they would not be compelled to repeat the dose. Benjamin would come to terms quicker than Cullom or Farwell could say Jack Robinson.

Iowa, which is prohibition state. has a larger sale of liquor now. according to Internal Revenue Collector Webster, than when liquor selling was legal. This year MT Webster issued 233 more federal something for the cold water people of Pennsylvania and Connecticut to think about-also for the taxpayers who vote. We guess that neither Pennsylvania nor Connecticut will adopt prohibition.
