THE LETTER.

President Harrison's letter, accepting
the Republican nomination for President
of the United States, was given out Tor
publication Monday evening.
He accepts; Of course then demonstrates
the solidity Of our finances; scores wildcat
banking; speaks hopefully of the revival
of American shipping interests; shows
that our exports are increasing, favors re-
eiprocity, shows that it is doing good and
siyes Blaine the credit for it; makes o
strong plea for the continuance of the pol
10y of protection; demonstrates the sue
cess of the now tariff law; favors dollars OF
equal value; also 90 free ballot and honest
count; advocates firmness in our dealings
with other nations; gives figures showing
the wonderful increase in our commerce,
and is in favor Of letting well enough
alone.

A SAN FRANCISCO murderer, whose exe-
cution was postponed by the Sheriff on ac-
count of legal advice, is now said to be
'judicially dead, and the judge says he
cannot sentence him again, now that the
time set for his execution has passed. The
murderer Is, in the law, dead, and as 1t is
not usual to hang dead men, he will escape
the penalty of his crime. This is probably
the first case of the kind on record.

POPULAR LECTURE COURSE.

Arrangements have been made for a
course of four lectures to be delivered
under the auspices of the college early in
February. The lecturer will be Richard
Burton, literary editor of the Hartford
Courant. DR.. Burton is one of the bright
young literary men of the country and
during the last few years has been WIN
ming au enviable reputation as a writer
of lyric poetry and blank verse. The
files of the Century and Harper's for the
last four years have frequent contribu-
tions from his pen that are marked by
great felicity both of thought and of ex-
preston. The lectures to be given here
will deal with modern English masters
in prose and verse. They will be popu-
lar rather than technical; but they will
be scholarly at the same time. 1t is be-
lieved that nothing more pleasurable In
the lecture line has been arranged for
the community in many years, and it is
hoped that when the tickets are put on
sale after the holidays the response will
be gratifying to the management. The
price of a course ticket will be one dol
lar.

LOST HIS HAND,

Guy, II years of age, son of Rollin H.
Place, who lives on the north end of
Case street.-the mountain road-under
the mountain near the New Haven line,
was out hunting on Saturday morning,
and while standing in the woods talking
with neighbor whom he had met, his
gun went off. The charge took effect in
his left wrist and hand, which appear to
have been over the muzzle of the piece,
tearing them badly. His parents
brought the boy to the village, and Drs.
Martin and Eddy, assisted by Medical
Student Reilly, amputated the injured
member above the wrist. just how the
accident happened the boy does not
know. His weapon was muzzle-load-
ing shotgun.

Mr.. Albert A. Pope of Boston, an ar

sending out blank petitions for sigma

will request the establishment at Wash

but 1t is extremely doubtful whether we
need any more government departments.
Those already established are, some of
them, of questionable utility, and the

it can well afford. Other measures for at

THE LADIES' LIBRARY,

The annual meeting of the Ladies
Library association will be held at Mrs.
B. S. Beckwiths on Saturday, Dec. II,
at o'clock. Every member of the library
should be present at that meeting.
1t is proposed TO open the library
two days during the week the coming
year, the management hoping by that
means to secure a larger membership.
AS an experiment for three months,
Monday is the day proposed. as there are
so many from the country in town that
day. A cordial invitation is extended
to all persons, gentleman as we'll as
ladies, to visit the library room over the
bank. either Saturday afternoons from
30 to . 80 o'clock, or on Mondays from
ii Il. m. to 3 or 4 o'clock p. m, that they
may examine the valuable collection of
books that can be taken each week during
the year for two dollars.

THAT BALLOT-BOx STUFFINo.

The remarks of this paper on the irreg.
ularities which attended the balloting
for State superintendent of education
during the last few days of the recent
legislative session are having an effect.
1t will be remembered that we reprinted
from one of the State daiies its report of
the voting, and added:
The stufling of the ballot boxes ap-
pears to have been in the interest of
Senator Foster, whOse fortunes rose to
their highest on the two wrongful bal
lots and fell when correct ballot was
obtained. How it happened it is hard to
say. but the look of the thing on its face
is bad; and if Senator Foster or his
friends can tell how it happened, it is in
order for them to do so.
Mr.. Fosters supporters take exceptions
to that conclusion and one of them sends
us Il communication, of which the follow
ng is the gist:
The Stone men, before the last ballot
was taken, made strenuous efforts to in
duce men who had voted for Mr.. Foster
to vote for Mr.. Stone on that ballot.
Some who had voted for Mr.. Palmer on
the first ballot and for Mr.. Foster on the
second were told that Mr.. Palmer ear
nestly requested his friends to vote
against Mr.. Foster and for Mr.. Stone.
This statement Mr.. Palmer SAYS is abso-
lutely false, but it had the desired effect
with certain Cnes. Mr.. Arnold of Beth
ell, a Palmer man, says that several in
his vicinity who voted for Mr. Foster on
the earlier ballots voted against him on
ha la ha hol tI,n
lent votes were cast for Mr.. Stone. Fur
thermore, the pages who collected all
the ballots "favored" Mr.. Stone, and it
was commonly reported that night that
they got dollar apiece for 'fayoring",
him. Still further, man who standE
high in his community. and who Ms
been in the legislature, says that he was
told by member of the legislature that
he was offered Sl5 to vote against Fos-
ter. If the Stone men would offer mon
ey, they would cast fraudulent votes.
One thing more A man of unquestion-
ed reputation says that he saw one man
put several Stone ballots into the box at
one time. think this was on the ballot
that was not announced.
All of which is interesting, but not
very conclusive. 1t may lead to further
airing of the matter, however, and is
good so far as it goes in that direction.
1t is now in order for Mr.. Stones friends
to tell the public what they know about
the business, and what they have to offer
as against the accusations of Mr.. Fosters
adherents.
1t may not be a gracious proceeding to
discuss in public the details of so dis
graceful performance as this was but
discussion may tend to prevent like oc-
currence, and to that extent will be use
full.

The agricultural interests of England

The agricultural interests of England
are in bad way. if those who follow
farming are to be believed. A nation
al agricultural conference in London
asst week adopted resolution affirming
that the unfair competition of un-

was an injustice that called for immedi-
hte removal, and that, therefore, all COM
betting ports ought to pay a duty not

A CURIOUS RELIC.

/President Brainerd has in his posess-
ion great curiosity. 1t is the original
copper plate from which was printed
the invitation for the commencement
ball of the college at its first commence
ment, in 1902. There was but one MEM
ber in the graduating class, A. Petty,
whose name, with those of III. Chaplin,
III. Chipman, M. Cook, L. Z. Hale and
II. d. Huggins, members of the Junior
class, appears on the plate. The ball
was given in "Stowell's hail." which
stood where Mr.. Tupper's residence now
Is. The hour of the dance was Sc o'clock
p. M" III. Chapman, one of the man
ayers, was a brother of Hon. Daniel
Chapman, formerly Of Middlebury and
Ripton. He migrated to Michigan,
which State is now represented IN con-
gress by one of his sons. The plate was
plowed up in field at Mason, ten miles
south of Lansing, Mich, few years ago.
The supposition is that the elder Chip
man took 1t with him and that 1t was
lost. 1t is somewhat bent and a tride
NsQrroded, but is still legible. ~

CURRENT G9MmsNr.

The defeat of tie Republican party
came about mainly through the failure of
the party to poll its full vote. This fail
ure was largely attributable to the indif-
ference and apathy of the masses, who
have become tired of having no part In
the political work of this country except
to yell "aye" to the utterance of every
man having the political itch. The prn-
ciple that found illustration in Vermonts
September election holds good in good
many States where Republicans have
grown tat by too much fodder, and be-
cause the fat ones have forgotten the
hands that fed them the hands struck

THE LEGISLATURE AND THE News
PAPERS.

The newspapers of the State have in.
dulged in some rather strong criticisms
respecting the action of the legislature
in cutting off the compensation hitherto
paid the press for sending out supple.
ments containing the laws. The criti-
cisms, generally, are, it seems to us, hard
ly fair. Up to two years ago the pa
pers received decent pay for the work
at the rates heretofore paid they could
come out of it even and save little
something, and that was all they should
have expected or asked. At the session
of 1890 the compensation was increased,
giving the papers considerable profit
out of their transactions with the State.
This was undoubtedly an unwise step,
and the natural result was the action
this year, the cutting-off of the pay al
together. The late legislature. like its
predecessor, erred, but in the direction
of unwarranted economy instead of that
of extravaganza. The people ought to
be informed, as speedily as may be after
the close of the session, of what the leg
islature has done, and the newspapers
are probably entitled to receive at least
its cost to them for dispensing such in
formation. The thing for the papers to
do is. it strikes us, to make the best of
the present situation, act as they think
wise, and two years from now take meas
ures to secure the re.enactment of the
law on the subject that was repealed in

This city is a great place for

White men particularly come
to this city and seem to manifest
so much interest in the welfare of
the colOred people, and always
have some plausible scheme to
present to better their condition.
1t is very surprising to the edi>
tor of this paper to find the names
OF SO many representative men
attached to their schemes.
1t is a fact, that there are as
many poor white people as there
are colored in proportion to the
population of both races; and why
certain scheming white men should
organize associations in which
they ask the colored people to in
vest their money is something
that surprises the editor of this
paper. Let the coIored people
beware of these so-called inter
ested persons in the welfare of the
