TIE suggestion to make Senator Haw.

THE suggestion to make Senator Haw- ley secretary of. war in the contingency of a vacancy in that offlce, came in good faith from the democratic New Haven Regis ter, and is heartily seconded by every body, so lar as fitness for the place Is eon- cerned, though the expression Is held in check by s probably we'll based impress sion that Gen. Hawley prefers to remain in the senate. There Is not a man in the country who has clearer ideas of what the country needs in the way of armament and army, he having, largely in the line of senatorial duty, made a special study of this. His appointment would be g wise selection, and yet Gen. Hawley's friends. would feel 10th to advise him to accept 8 cabinet appointment for the brief space of lifetime left to the present ad- ministration, giving up for it position which he has honored, is honoring, and in which he, is doing the best. of service for his state and country. The legislature to be elected in 1899 will chose U. s. sem ator to fill Gen. Hawley's place. The name of Gen. Hawley as the probable re- publican candidate will be tower of strength to the republican party in the important canvas of that year, melting the best element of the party to active work. The republican party will need all the aid his name can thus give them, and his promotion eff we call 1t such) to cab met office, will take him out of the field as senatorial candidate. This may be a selfish view to take of the case, but if it is true, as reported, that Gen. Hawley prefers to remain in the senate, it is also true that he can best serve the republican party of Connecticut by so doing. At the same time there Is no one in the country better equipped by study of and interest in matters pertaining to war, armament, and methods of defense, to be at the head of the war. department, than is Joseph R. Hawley of Connecticut.

REPORTS from Glastonbury, East Der. lin and West Hartford all agree that ths prospects of 8 peach crop in Connecticut are blighted by the recent cold snap. This is pity, both on account of the consum- CTS and of the thoroughly wide awake farmers who have worked so hard to de. velop the Connecticut peach, the best sold in the Connecticut markets. The trial of I. Everett Briggs, of Vol. untown, for the shooting of Samuel R. Greene in that place March 22, 1890, went to trial last Friday morning at 1920. Ali ter the evidence of the killing had been put in, Dr. Hallock, of Cromwell, and Dr. Gorton, superintendent of the Butler hos pital at Providence, testified that Briggs was insane at the time of the homicide and is insane now. The jury were out but five minutes when they returned g verdict of .'Not guilty, on account of in- sanity" ........ .....-s. .....s. .-....-

County Court Matters.

LOGAN, March THE water COM
missioners will today consider the
petition of j. n. Christensen
and others for a certificate of primary
right to all water in Blacksmith park river
below point near the county bridge.
One OF the main reasons for the meeting
of the county court on Monday next is the
serious consideration of the advisability of
placing iron bridges over the Blacksmith
Fork and Muddy rivers. At present each
Of these streams is divided into three parts
at the point where they pass the county
road, and has therefore always been neces
sary to keep six wooden bridges in repair
along the county road between Logan and
Wellsville. Now it is proposed to run each
OF the rivers through one enlarged channel,
placing tEereupon one iron span. This
would be IA vast Improvement upon the
present arrangement.
Under tie energetic supervision of the
present county court Cache will soon have
the best series of bridges in the country.
