Goy. Bu1KErrr isaued a proclamation Mon

Gov. BuLKELEY issued proclamation Mon day afternoon, warning all persons from at. mpting to take offices for which they have not been duly qualified, and commanding all citizens not to recognize the authority of any doing so. He also declares that he will defend the present officers in the discharge of their duties.by all the legal means in his power, un- til their successors are duly qualified. On Tuesday morning Lieut.. governor Merwin took the presiding officers chair, and made . brief address of conciliatory tone, but assum- ing to continue to hold the office until his successor should be constitutionally qualified, after which he gave place to the president pro tenn. Dr. Alsop did not appear in the chamber Each house balloted for U. s. senator at the time fixed by U. s. and state law. Senator Piatt got the full republican vote in both branches. Democratic senator's voted for Carlos French, but in the house the democrats scattered their vote, MT. French get, ting 28 votes, Thomas Waller 30. Some of the democrats gave their votes for republi- cans, evidently as feelers, and in hope to de- feat Senator Platt by the election of some other republican. J. H. Hale of Glastonbury got 13 democratic votes, and Governor Bufke- ley 3. On Wednesday the joint convention reelected 0fvine H, P1att for the term of six years, the democrats voting fort Carlos French, who had 134 votes to Al for Senator Platt.'

uents who represent great interests; but it is gross islander upon them to declare that they are animated by personal motives in their opposition to rash movements Ill the matter of finance, for they are honora- ble men, holding, as l said, the trusts of hundreds of millions of dollars for the av- craze citizen and the poorer citizen, for 1t has been said that the servant girls of Hartford hold the mortgages on the town Several great savings banks have in the neiehborhood of $20, ,000, ,000 on deposit for that town and the country round about.
 Those men manage the funds with more care than the private speculator, the great owner of the railroad stocks, the Jay Goulds and others, who have a right to speculate with SIC, ,000, 900 and the right to lose it if they please. and nobody lies awake nights because it is scattered and lost. But those men would be justly ever reproached by their consciences and for eyer reproached by their neighbour if they did not keep men on the watch tower look ing cut for frauds and changes and evasions in currencies and trusts.
 | do not admit that the maj jority of the people of this country are in favor of this scheme, for it has never been made the subject of one, two or three thorough na- tional discussions. The jury have never heard the arguments on anything but ex- eep ional occurrences here and there, and essays. It is an interesting subject, to be sure, but it has not been brought out at hustings, as it will be. If our democratic friends are compelled now to have silver coinage, if they are driven to it, with or without Cleveland--he has got to be if he stays their candidate, and if he is gone we shall have several of these things com- ing up two or three years hence
 I told the senator did not know wheth- CT the silver would or would not come here. I said that by way of optimism and hopefullness. hope 1t will not. hope if these things become laws we shall not be hurt as we fear but we may. There are some laws of finance, as there are laws of morals and ethics that cannot be viola ted. You may think you make money by violating them, but you do not in the long run they avenge themselves.
 Now, say l hope my country is not go lng to suffer but believe 1t will suffer eventually under legislation like this.

JUST what view you are taking of the com plications at Hartford now, probably depends e. tirely upon your po!it cal affiliations It is unfortunate that it is so, but most of us are partisans and want to know which of the factions is our faction before we decide which is right. And it is always the other fellows who are in the wrong. The man who reads the papers of both parties may not be con vinced that his own party papers are wrong in their views and conclusions, but be will be apt to be more tolerant of those who differ with him. The party paper is generally like the paid attorney of cause, and the elector is best fitted for jury duty who listens to both sides,

 IT is humiliating that in several northern states quarrels are raging over disputed elec- tions. It is something new, and is worse than discreditable; it is intensely dangerous. Party rancor grows upon such things. Hav- en't we gone too far in palliating and excusing such things at the south as natural out growth of the condition of things there? We haven't been as ready as we should to con- demn the killing of candidates for office be- cause they persist in being candidates after being warned that they must withdraw or die, or the installation of men into office obtained by the suppression or intimidation of the ma- jority vote. If these things are right in one section, why not in another? We don't want things done that way in Connecticut. We want things d. ne here in a constitutional manner, and if the constitution isn't right let's make it right-that is as the people want it. Our constitution is the product of the people, and not above revision and correction when the people demand change. But un- til changed it is Q vital matter to stand by it

 When 1t comes to closeness the seEaSorl al situation in Illinois easily carries away medal. On joint legislative ballot the democrats, whose candidate is Genera Palmer, had 101 votes, the republicans voting for ex-Governor Oglesby had al even 100, and the Farmers Mutual Benefi association has three. They are for A. J Streeter, late United Labor candidate fol the presidency. It is easy to be seen tha these three votes are in great demand by both parties and they are the heroes of the hour. They can live on canvass back duel for year if they want to. But they say they will stick to Streeter The voting will be interesting.

Francis Child, according TO Pen
nant. was 'the father" OF banking.
He was the first goldsmith TO give up
the practice OF his craft and follow
bankers business as it is now under
stood. The famous house OF Child
originated in goldsmith business
carried on in Fleet street by a family
named Wheeler, one of whom, John
Wheeler, moved thither from Cheap
side toward the end of the tenth CEN
fury. William Wheeler, early in
Charles rs reign, went to the Mari
gold, next door to Temple Bar; the
present site OF Child's Bank. William
Wheeler's granddaughter married his
apprentice, Francis Child, while his
widowed daughter-in-law took, as
second husband, another wealthy
goldsmith named Robert Blanchard,
on whose death in 1851 Child became
possessed of considerable fortune.
Prior to 1890 the ledgers show that
the firm did considerable pawn-brok-
ing business. Francis Child became
lord mayo OF London in l69S-9, was
president tfChrist's Hospital in 1902,
represented the city in Queen Anne's
first parliament, and was Colonel OF

with Mr.. Child, Lord Westmorland
said: "Child. wish for your opinion

High Rents in Gotham.

In days search we found less than
a dozen vacant houses on the Hill,
and while we were hesitating between
them they were rented at prices vary
ingfrom 81, 600 TO 81, 200. IL isnot at

causes il TO seem "A little strange that
rents have not advanced. Stores,
tailor shops, millinery establishments
