IN the controversy which has been gong on over the using of the state armory ID Hartford as a polo rink the sympathies or the people have been, generally, with the mlll- tary. No doubt the people of Hartford enjoy polo, and no doubt the armory buildings are fine places in which to display it's graceful eyolutions, but the people of Hartford don't happen to own the armory buildings and they weren't provided for that purpose. The militia can of course accommodate their even- ings of drill to permit of polo on certain evenings. So might the legislature so time it's work that on certain evenings its fine hall might be utilized for theatricals, but no one has ever yet suggested doing the latter thing The governor has now ''dishonorably dis missed from the military service Col. W. E Cone, Lieut.. Col. 0. E. Thompson and Major T. M. Smith for accepting resigna'ions oi subordinates. Messrs. Hyde, Gross Hyde, one of the strongest law firms in the state, have given an opinion that such dismissal if illegal and imperative. The result may be conflict in the courts, or may be only an issue to be carried into politics. In any case 1t If an unfortunate and needless complication and legislation should make it impossible hereafter by decreeing that the state armoriei are for military purposes only, and that those responsible for property therein contained may enter at any time without paying some amusement organization an admission fee al the door.

NELLIE BLY has, in the interest of the New York World, made flying trip around the world we live upon, beating former records, the actual time of her trip being 72 days and 6 hours, It will be remembered that Jules yernes has made very taking story ot ad- ventures of man who attempted to make the trip in 30 days, and was almost heart broken over his failure until he recalled that he had actually accomplished it, having gone ssaeainst the sun, i" and thus being day bet ter of by the calendar than by the tally he had kept. The prime object of Miss Bly's enterprise has been to advertise the newspa- per which sent her upon the trip. She lost some hours by reason of having to take train over the southern route by reason or snow blockade on the Union Pacific, but fast special enabled her to get through ln the time indicated. She sailed for Europe, Mo- vember IA, by the steamer Augusta Victoria for Southampton, which port was reached November 22, after stormy passage. A1tel a brief visit to London, she intercepted the Indian mail at Calais and reached Brindlsl on time. was one day late at Ismaila two days ahead of time at Colombo, and on time al Singapore and Hong Kong. After spending five days at the latter port, she sailed 1o' Yokohama, and thence to San Francesca ar irving on the 21st. She left San Francisco at g O2 Tuesday morning, and arrived a Jersey City at 3.51 on Saturday.

THE PREACHER, THE LAWYER AND THE
 COUNTRY EDITOR.

A few years since, during Call upon 8 brother editor of local newspaper in a thriving New York village, we were inter- rnpted by gentleman who desired to look at proof of an obituary notice of his father which the editor had written. With some few corrections the gentleman departed. and the editor remarked to me that he had taken no less than four proofs for him, ''and," he said, s'all I shall get out of this labor will be an order for fifteen extra copies" We agreed, ss most editors will agree, that the imposition upon an editors time in matters that he can have no sym pathy with is much like playing the "king's fool.''
 l have been quite successful in writing up marriages, especially those of my friends i; and l have been made the machine for many wedding. do not particularly object to this, for get considerable atten- tlon paid to me for once, and man IS local editor, one is expected not to take less than half column in telling how beautiful the bride looked, and what a sweet disposition she has, and what splen- did. wife she will make. If her friends have been thoughtful aud appreciative she has table or two filled with presents, and the good mother and younger sisters want the editor to see all these things, and he acts as clerk in writing down list as long as ones arm.
 | The preacher receives fee of $5 or more for tying this simple knot. In the event of death he has been known not to refuse similar fees for officiating. If the parties upon whom the preacher has pronounced his blessing, and the editor has freely dis tributed adjectives in a column article, fail to find the bliss sought for, the lawyer finds way out of the difficulty through the di vo,ce courts, for which he receives fee of $25 to $100. It is easily earned.
 The country editor is the only man who is left to the mercy of those who should feel that he, too, must live upon some thing more substantial than "chips and whetstones." He has devoted more time and money than either the preacher CT the lawyer, aud has seen nothing but smiles cake and ice cream
 I think the couutry editor values hia time too cheaply to be appreciated, but how to make that labor valuable without offense is question for consideration. : Ed. 4. Fry.
