CONCERNING the appointment of town agents the law makes it obligatory upon the select men to do 50. though it has never been done in Stafford until this year, and the selectmen then only did it by compulsion of 8 mandamus of the superior court. The present town agent we know took the appointment reluc- tantly, and would have preferred that there be no town agent. By the law he is to sell for medicinal, mechanical, chemical and sac ramental purposes only, and is under $500 bonds to hold to the law. Any one misrepre- senting to him the purpose for which liquors are wanted is liable to fine of $50, impris- onment for 60 days, or both. He is paid a fixed salary, so has no interest in the amount he may sell. He enters upon book each sale, with name of buyer, alleged use for which it is required, price, quality, etc., and this record is open at all times to inspection of selectmen, grand jurors and prosecuting agent. The chief injury of town agency is that it is made the scape-goat of everything. The parties who illicitly sell are foremost in throwing suspicion upon the town agency as the source of supply of every drunkard. With our druggists duly licensed to sell upon pre- scription there is no need of town agency, and it is an outrage to force one upon town that votes no license. Were our legislature in working order there would have been a move made this winter for change in the law concerning town agents.

Recently it was reported that Hartford holder of a Kansas farm mortgage, on ap- plying for payment of interest, was told by the farmer that he had joined the alliance and ''quit paying debts. Speaker Elder of the last Kansas house was asked about the subject, and whether the alliance mem bers proposed to repudiate their debts, and this was the result of the interview He gave an indirect answer, and said the people were in bad fix and needed to be protected from the money sharks of he east, who had been eating them out of house and home. MT. Elder was averse to talking of alliance affairs, and said that while he saw that the recent agitation had scared eastern money lenders, he had no fear that the farm CTS would suffer, for the farms could not be sold for the amount of the loans and the in vestors did not want to take the lands. They were not going to foreclose as long as there was any probability of having to buy in the property. In other words, he said that the farmers could stay on their farms rent free as long as times were hard.
 Such cool contempt of obligations volan tarily incurred is probably without par allel, considering all the circumstances, 1T our history. Having so far deceived the ''money sharks" as to secure loan greater than the value of the mortgaged property the Kansas alliance men now stand off anc ask what the sharks are going to do abou it, Springfield Republican.

A MINIATURE ''MAFIA seems to have existed in Mansfield for some time past. Parties who would have kicked against law breaking have been terrorized into silence, even fearing to testify when action was brought. Those moi terrorized have seen their buildings burned, their animals mutilated, even to going about partially disemboweled while yet alive. If all reports are true, and much of it is in evi dence, some of the most brutal brutes in that town have been bipeds. Put down all tend ency towards Mafaism, and do it by the pow CT of law.

CONTROLLER STAUB is progressing in geo. metrical ratio in attempted annoyance of Gov. Bulkeley. He refused to allow g chair to be returned to the executive office which had been sent out for repairs, and the governor got new chair in it's stead. He had the custom of hoisting the flag over the capitol when the governor was in his executive cham Der ignored, and the flag was therefore raised by the governors orders. He refuses to audit the salary of the executive clerk and the latter will sue for it. He will not pay the bill for expenses of the legislative committee and governor and staff at Gen. Sherman's fun sral. All the while that he is ignoring Gov. Bulkeley he is recognizing Treasurer Henry and Secretary Walsh, who are more susurpers'' than is the holding over governor.
 But the biggest ripple in the disturbed waters was that made last week. Upon each side of the representative hall is an ante room opening from the lobby and also from the hall. The claim is now put in that the room upon the democratic side is for democrats This room also has 8 door opening into the ante room of the executive office, and has al. ways been used as passage way between the governors apartments and the hall of repre- sentatiyes. Last Friday evening the con troller had hasp with staples and Yalt lock put upon the door opening into the gov ernor's room. Saturday morning upon ascer taining this, the governor sent for crowbal and had the door opened. The matter rest there, but the governor has served notice at thu controllers office that the passage way is t remain open.

IT is likely that the action against the Rock vile house for selling liquor to Dunn (the Holland minor who ran his team into another while seemingly in 8 drunken frenzy, doing injury to person and property, will be nolled by Prosecutor Eaton. Evidence seems tc show that Dunn went into the barroom drunk but was refused liquors and ejected. He told the story of getting liquor there to get even Dunn had also sworn in Rockville police court that he was g years of age.

Hartford Times The resemblance of Senator Pinney to Governor Morris is so marked that it is frequently subject of comment at the capitol. The features of both gentlemen are sharply outlined, the expression of each is nearly similar to that of the other, and, above all, both gentle men wear boards of the same style and color. A number of gentlemen have been deceived by the resemblance, and Govern or Morris has frequently been credited with being at the capitol when he has been quietly attending to his business in New Haven. It remained for Acting Governor Bulkeley, however, to become the worst victim of the deception. Not many days ago Senator Pinney stood ruminating in g dark corner of the lobby, when MT. Bulke. ley happened to pass thak way. His eyes fell upon the pale face, sharp features and generous side whlskels of the gentleman ln the corner, and stepping forward he stretched out his hand, saving:
 "Good morning, Mir. Nor
 Just then Senator Pinney looked up and MT. Buikeley, discovering his mistake cut himself short. Senator Pinney smiled and so did the cting-governor. It has been noticed that since then Mir. Bnlkeley looks twice at the senator whenever tho two meet. He evidently does not lntene to be caught again.

THE legislature still continues to meet.
 Plans for compromise settlement are under consideration, but they seem to give about the stereotype choice whether it shall be ''heads win, tail you lose," or ''heads you lose, tails win."
