WHAT fraud history is, to be sure. It-had learned us to respect the founders of the state, and especially the makers of the constitution of the state, as pretty level-headed men. But 1t seems that they were set of donkeys, after all. So we are told by the agitators for new constitution.

Stafford Springs. March 2d. 1899 ~1s

4.: Stafford Springs, March 2d, 1899. ~9s1 \ WOULD invite the attention to holders of my photo checks as. to, my rates, so that there may be no mis- understanding. There seems to be in- quiries regarding the number of sit tings I give, with the check system. It is my rule to give one sitting and an extra charge of 50 cents for all re- sittings, and it is my custom to make all the sittings required by the most fastidious customer for $3.50.
 As it has been misunderstood by some, I have concluded to compro- mise with all who have checks. By paying 50 cents extra I will make as many sittings as is necessary. This price is very much below my regular rate, and I am convinced that 1t will meet with your hearty approval. I must admit that where there are more than one sitting the chances are vety favorable to getting better results.
 My terms are, then, $2.5O for one sitting only, or by paying 50 cts: extra I make as many sittings as is necessary to please, and secure the, best effects. :: '.s Very truly yours,

THE population of New York city un- der the state census is given as about 1,800, 900. Reports were that it would reach 2,000,0 900. Perhaps these reports were put out as feelers, to see how the public would swallow it. Tammany evi- dently meant to make the figures as large as would be accepted. The returns have been kept back so long that the entire census is most clearly made illegal under the law for it's making, but this little fact won't count against it. Brooklyn also is to have a population given it approd- mating million. Tn it's tenth ward, one of the old and settled sections Of the city, where there is no room for, any notable growth in the population, on the basis of one voter to every five persons, which is the ratio throughout the state, the ward on its last vote should have 30,000 ,popu- lation. The national census gave it 34,- 031, the police census immediately fol- lowing it 36, ,097, and the enumeration just filed 50,331. In the first assembly dis trict of New York ely, where the fed eral census of 1890 found 28, 135 people, and the municipal census but 29, ,575, the Tammany enumerators have now returned a count of 39, ,989. This assembly district last year boiled but 5,3O7 votes and has shown constant diminution in it's voting population for years because of the up- town movement. Returns from other districts are equally outrageous. It was a question whether places of residence were required to be given and some enum- orators omitted these, giving simply list of names. Some of these could not fin ish their work within the time limit and had to have assistants, who thus did their work with no data as to what streets or blocks had already been worked. The credibility of such work can be readily fixed, and the more easily when we. know that the work was for days in the hands of Tammany heelers having no official re- sponsibility or right to meddle before be- ing turned in as completed. A bigger farce in the line of census work was never attempted, and the published details ought to inspire the honest indignation of all decent people.

Two dissatisfied prisoners left the Charleston state prison last Friday night. That prison, in one way or another, fur nishos good many newspaper para graphs. It's inn ates are always dissatis- fled, and seem to have 3 good deal to say about its management, and matters that in other states are usually regulated by the authorities. If the Mass. newspapers can spare little time from tinkering up Connecticut's constitution and other mat ters, the Mass. state prison might use up some of it.

IT is very probable that the free coin age bill will pass both houses of congress and be vetoed by President Harrison. The free coinage men are in 8 majority in both houses. The few democrats who oppose it desired the republicans to assist them in filbustering against the bill, but as their object was only to postpone ac- tion until after next falls election, to the detriment of the republicans, they refused to be party to process -avowed to be for postponing, not for killing, free coin age. Therefore the bill will come up in due course, and its friends and opponents be compelled to stand up and be counted. It cannot become 8 law during President Harrison's term-nothing is more certain than that, and if it>can be kept off for few years most of the lunatics who advo- cate it will recover their senses.
