Washington Post: MT. Reed is not so unpopular on the democratic side of the house as some of the recent episodes in the proceedings would indicate. It is fre- quent occurrence for the speaker, when not occupying the chair, to drop into a seat among the democrats and converse on topics relating to affairs in the house. In this way he he keeps himself posted at first hand as to the real state of feeling among the minority. He does not depend on rumor and speculation as a source of information in regard to the temper of the opposition. Speaker Reed, the presiding officer, is much more genial and ap- proachable parsonage than was MT. Reed when occupying seat on the floor. There is hardly any personal hostility, even on the democratic side, toward him, though a score of alert wits among the minority are at all times ready to lock horns with him on parliamentary questions and denounce his rulings. The sentiment was well sum- med up by MT. Culbertton, of Texas Socially, Reed is mighty good fellow officially, he is brute."

Norwich Bulletin A recent decision of the supreme court is being quoted by which it is held that any town which neg lects to erect and maintain guide-posts, as required by law, is liable to fine of $5 for each case of neglect. Now let us have the law, as set forth in this decision, en- forced throughout the state. There ought to be sufficient guide-post at every road corner between Thompson and Greenwich. Since there is law for it and supreme court disposed to back up the law, wouldn't it be good idea for the authorities every where to get down to business before some irritated traveller makes their neglect very expensive for them

Here is one way to waste time in a par liamentary manner Move to adjourn.
 Then demand call of the yeas and nays on that motion. If it is lost, move to ad- journ to fixed time. Call for the yeas and nays again. That takes considerable time once more. If that motion is also lost, you can then make the plea that ''other business has intervened" since your other motion to adjourn, and make an. other move for adjournment, with another call for the yeas and nays. This can be repeated, as in the old Arabian story, ''and another crow brought another grain of corn, and another crow brought another grain of corn," and so on all day and night.

There are scores of sarsaparillas and

conditions are, that, given fair trial, 1t
