Our rural community has many
boys and girls to be proud of, and
one Of them is MIR. Edgar Talley
who graduated three weeks ago at
Douglasville College. Besides his
beautiful graduating speech, he
made the acknowledged ablestspeech
on the champion debate, winning
the decision for his side, which
affirmed that the secular press tends
to elevate society. He had power

side, but he won. Cobb county
hopes that he may grapdly win in
every noble battle through life. =
Our mailman, MIR. Carlysle B

 There are other reasons why we claim that no other organization has usurped the plan of our own or is likely to usurp it. Its 1exibility of form, it's all round. ness of manifestation, it's catholicity ot heart, its aggressiveness of action, its un- fiinching bravery of bearing, and it's ab- solute truthfulness to conviction, are all qualities unsurpassed and unsurpassable.
 But all these are as nothing compared with the transcendent fact that the w. c. T.

CONNECTICUT FACTORIES.

The annual report of Factory Inspector William s. Simmons has been submitted to the governor. MT. Simmons says the state has had factory inspection for a lit tie over five years. All the work per- formed during this time has been under the same law. The near approach of cholera during the summer months caused increased interest in sanitary matters. As a result most all places visited were hearty in their cooperation in the work of inspection. Still there are places which cannot be reached except through the active cooperation of local boards of health. The work during the past year has been more thorough than ever. The number of factories visited and inspected was 414. The whole number of persons employed in these factories was 51, ,996. No changes were ordered in 221 of the establishments which were inspected. All of them were in good condition. In 193 factories it was found that there were many changes needed. The whole num-
 
 $50 were for better protection from dan. gerous machinery, 27 were for improving the sanitary condition, GA were for se- curing safety in the use of elevators, and Al were for miscellaneous purposes. During the year more than twenty per- sons were killed in factories of this state. A good many persons received injuries but the returns are not given. Several oi the accidents were caused by projecting set-screws, whose presence upon shaftine should never be permitted unless they are securely guarded. Other bad accidents were caused by the bursting of emery wheels.
 l Ordinances may be enacted by city governments to prevent the erection o unsafe buildings. Provision may bt made for the appointment of inspectors 10 carry these rules and ordinances into effect. Local officials who have had au thorlty to act have failed. It is hoped b, the inspector that these ordinances ma, be enforced.
 I Poor ventilation in many places is question that needs attention. The mum Der of elevators inspected during the yea was 362. Many of these have singl cables, and all such need to be manage, with much care. Accidents often occu iupon this kind of elevators.

THE sENAToRsH1P.

A writer in the Bristol Press says: The senatorship is as far as possible from being personal perquisite. It ought to be beyond the power of any man to buy 1t. No state can afford to treat it as 8 prize to be awarded for political service. The political integrity and material plos= perity of the states depends upon the faithful and long continued service of the senator's This is true of the states gen. erally: the importance of this truth in- creases as the size of the state decreases; increases inversely as the squares of eration. New York outvotes Connec- ticut many times over in the House of Representatives; its final influence in national legislation as compared with Connecticut depends upon the ability, faithfulness and length of service of it's senators as compared with Connecticut's senators.
 This is not a matter of theory; it has been proved over and over by the stern- est and correctest of logicians-experi- ence. In aate-6ellum times the south was in this way enabled 10 exercise an infiu- ence far beyond what would be expected from it's territory and population.
 In recent years, where has the weight and influence in national legislation re- sided? In New England, and for the Iea- sons cited above. Blaine, Hale, Hamlin, Frye, Chandler, Morrill,, Edmunds, Hoar, Dawes, Aldrich, Anthony, Hawley, Platt, these have been the men who have been working members of the senate, at the heads of the important committees. Among the larger states, among all the rest put together, an equal number of in- fiuential senators cannot be found. The question will come before the next legislature whether or not Connecticut will voluntarily give up her most desir- able and enviable position in the senate, in part, by retiring General Hawley and giving the position as 8 reward to some new man. The considerations advanced above would seem to preclude the en- trance of such an idea into the mind of S0ESlDle nau.
 Every admirable argument compels Genela al Hawley's return to the senate no argument worthy of consideration has been or can be, advanced against his re- turn.
 General Hawley has been tried in near ly every department of business activity except that of money getting, and has never been found wanting, in war or in peace, in state or in nation, at home or abroad. Besides other important duties, his work in the senate has specially con- cerned the committee on military affairs, under whose supervision such immense progress has been made in the develop ment of means of defense, both in arms, ammunition and Notifications. The work is in progress. Is it wise to change sat isfactory management at such timer The people of Connecticut demand Gen. eral Hawley's return to the senate. To even question it is presumptuous in the
 questioners, and aggravating to the strong
 native common sense of the people of this |

EXPENSES OF THE PENSION BU- REAU.

The annual report of Green B. Raum, commissioner of pensions, shows that there were on the pension rolls June 30, 1892, 876.068 pensioners, an increase dur ing the year of 198, 1908. There were add- ed to the rolls during the year 222,93E new pensioners, and 2,477 pensioners previously dropped were restored to the pension lists. During the year 23, 3O6 persons were dropped from the rolls.
 The total amount expended for pensions during the fiscal year was $139, 9,O35,6l2. For the present flcal year $144, ,956, ,OO0 is appropriated, and taking the cost of the pension allowances during the first four months of this fiscal year as a basis of calculation, the commissioner estimates that deficiency appropriation of $1O,- 5O8, ,621 will be necessary to supplement this years appropriation.
 An estimate of 165, ,OO0, 900 is submitted for the next fiscal year, but Commissioners Raum says that if as many allowances of pensions shall be made during the fiscal year to come as during the fiscal year ended June 30, this amount will not be large enough. He says, however, that it is difficult to forecast pension payments so far in advance, and that as congress- will be in session no endorsements will 1 arise if his successor, in the light of actual 1 cost of the work for the first six months of the next fiscal year, finds that a further appropriation would be needed
 Under the dependent and disability pen- sion act 92O, ,959 claims have been filed, of which number 4O3, ,359 have been allowed The pension payments under the law up to September 30, 1892, amounted to $76,- 494, ,443.
 The commissioner admits that since the passage of the law there has been a' great deal of unfavorable comment upon the pension system in general and that it has been said that the country is in dan ger of being bankrupted by extravagant and undeserving pension Legislation "But," he comments, Ia casual consid- eration of the great change in the mode of the lives of these mem and the con- ditions to which military life in time of wal subjected them, must suggest that the strain upon the life powers of the soldier, was so great as to make perma- nent inroads upon their vital forces"

Hartford Post: Everybody interested in Hartford's welfare, whether committed to the cause of temperance or not, will be glad of the activity displayed by the coun- ty commissioners in their work of dis criminating among the petitioners for liquor licenses. In past years an applica- ton for license was almost sure of be- ing favorably received, but now we'll backed remonstrance is all that is neces- sary to close any particularly objectiona- ble saloon. In the cases where licenses have been granted in spite of remon- strance, the warning given the saloon keepers will prove sufficient to make them more careful in conducting their pla 3es in the future.

Rockville Journal: One fact has been deeply impressed on every fair mind ed citizen in the city, during the past few weeks, and that is that the new gas and electric light company is bound to give service that shall prove perfectly satisfac- tory in every respect. The company is making efforts to perfect every detail of it's service, and to furnish the best light at the lowest possible price. The motto seems to bee satisfactory service, best light, lowest price,"
 Rockville Leader: Some have re- gretted that so much of the stock of the old gas and electric light company has passed into the hands of outside capital ists, but, so far, they are showing enter prise which was not shown by the old company, and if the admission of new blood has served to stimulate the whole system, as it certainly appears to have done, then we shall not be sorry.

 Daniel H. Morse, of Woodstock, on Thanksgiving day met with 8 violent end ing of his life. With his family he had seated himself at the table, and had eaten few mouthfuls when two butchers, em- ployed by M. J. Suprenant, came to his MT. Morse in dispatching his four-year- old bull, MT. Morse did not wait to finish the meal, but went to the barn. It was at first intended to knock the bull in the head as he stood in his stable, but a post being in the way it was concluded to lead the animal on to the harm floor. Mir. Morse went into the stable and attached rope to the bulls nose, and led him out and around into the barn through the doors; which were closed after him, the other two men remaining outside, at MT. Morse's suggestion that the sight ot strangers would excite the animal. The latter heard commotion inside and en- tering found MT. Morse in the horse stall dead. The bull had gored him in the mouth, the horn having passed up and penetrated the brain, causing instant death. The supposition is that as Mir Morse stopped down to pass the rope through the ring in the floor the bull made thrust at him, by which action he was impaled on the animals horn and tossed into the horse stall dead The bull haG been vicious one, but was always easily handled by MT. Morse. MT. Morse ive6 on the Eastford road, about six miles from Southbridge. He was Successful farmer, and fair-dealing and honesty al ways characterized his business trans actions.
