To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Suggestions of names for Speaker of the
next House of Representatives have been
made from all other sections of the state.
Is it not about time for New Haven to say
something's Republicans have fought and
bled in this part of the field as well as in
any other part, but they have not been as
fortunate as their brethren in obtaining
the honors of warfare. We have nothing
to cay against any of the candidates
already named for the nomination of
Speaker, but we do not hesitate to urge
that Israel A. Kelsey, the member from
Orange, is the equal of any of them. He
is vigorous Republican, successful
business man, and has filed every Repub-
lican position to which his fellow
citizens have elected him with
honor to his constituency and with
credit to himself. He is not a lawyer,
but the Office of Speaker is not mortgaged
to that profession. Amy such intelligent
and active minded man as Mr.. Kelsey,
whatever his vocation, can fill the Speak
er's chair successfully.
Mr.. Kelsey is the New Haven candidate
for Speaker, and New Haven deserves
something of the Republican party. 1t has
furnished victims enough. 1t ought now
to have in the Speakers chair victor in
the contest. b.

Some OF It's Facts and Fancies.
Written for the JOURNAL AND CouRIKR.l
A GRAND EXAMPLE.
There are. still few people left who be-
lieve that ths general interest of women in
higher intellectual training is a departure
fraught with evil consequences to the
human race. So much mental activity,
they assert, will exhaust the vital energies
of women and leave the world only feeble,
nervous, helpless creatures, unfit for any
of life's serious duties.
Statistics thus far do not uphold them
in their opinion since "the college woman, u
as she is called, is shown by their aid to be
blessed with an average vitality equal to
that of women under the most favorable
conditions, and brighter promise for the
future in her scientific knowledge of the
laws of life In cases In which they com
pete with men, the fair striking of ar
average leaves them the equal at least oi
the men in the same work under the sams
conditions. Nor is there any reason te
| fear that they will be any less womanly
their womanly Characterization in connection
with the highest intellectual life.
Thousands of illustrations of this fac
may be found in the lives of the gifted ant
cultured women of to-day. Not to tax,
one of these, but partly to prove that wha
is now has been before, and ia likely to b.
again, let us go back and take just glanc
at the remarkable life OF one who, thouel
not college woman, achieved world wild
fame as a scientist, and who by her practi
cal usefulness disproved the assertion tina
higher education units women for hom
duties.

ANOTHER COMPLAINT.

The preparatory schools have been
charged by Harvard committee with not
doing their work well, and now ariseth
Samuel W. Dixie saying, in the November
Atlantic, that the colleges are no more eff
cient and educating than they should be.
He declares that the young men and wo-
men who come out of them at the end of
four years courses are "widely informed,
but poorly educated" Many of the grad
yates, he says, know much, but have little
ability to do given thing in way to COM
mand the respect of the truly eduested.
He assumes that we all know that not the
accumulation of mass of information,
but the development of power and the
acquisition of method is the true
standard of education, but intimates
that the influences in the other di-
rection are very gre at in our colleges. He
makes an interesting point when he sug
gests that the tendency to substitute the
collection of mere information for the
development of mental power is very
strong in the case of the college girl, who
in this new field that has been opened t.
her exhibits an especial eagerness fol
knowledge pure and simple that lie calcu
lated to defeat the real education of tn
mind.
With the amendment that most colleg
graduates are not even "widely informed,
Mr.. Dilke's criticism appears to have som
| Justice in it. But what does he expect
All college students can't be good footbal
or baseball players, especially the girls.

MUST BE CIVILIZED.

The Indian has got to bs civilized,
whether it will do him any good or pot.
One of the civilizing agencies greatly re-
lied upon by his good friends is the hold
ing of land by him in severalty. But it
doesn't seem to have worked just as it was
expected to. General Miles, who knows
something about Indians, says that the
their individual holdings: the rstions
which they formerly received have ceased
to be provided, and the money which they
received for their tribal lands has been
spent at the store of the trader; famine is
imminent, and the coming of winter, with
out food and forage, fills them with gloom.
And Chief Harris of the Cherokee nation
had something to say the other day con-
cerning this matter which might be
thought sensible if he were not an Indian.
He warned his people against the adoption
of the system of holding land in sever
atty. This experiment., he pointed out,

The result is easily foreseen; his white
neighbors will eventually own his lands,
and his children will be outcasts in the
country their fathers once owned. Pru-
dence dictates that we await the trial of
this experiment and profit by their expe-
rience." The Cherokees enjoy the use OF
their lands in common, the fee being in

men-to handle the money and do the
business of the city and towns Not much.
The people are "out of It," and they know
it. But the politicians, who say to them

are busy. The air is full of their talk.
And are they looking about for the best
men to do the business of the city and
towns Again not much They are talk
ing about ideals" and "pulls" and putting
them into operation. Some of them are
saying that the city and the town business
ought to be put entirely into the hands of
Democrats, as New Haven is such fine
old Democratic place. And some of them
are talking and acting as if 1t ought to be
put entirely into the hands of those whose
green flag is not indicative of any green
ness in politics.
Is not all this discoursging and disgust

would be for the proprietor of one Of the
large dry goods stores of New Haven to
pick out his clerks on account of their
politics. 1t will be very good thing for
the cities of this country if their public
business is ever separated from politics.
It would be very good thing for New
Haven if it's small army of officers could
be chosen for their fitness rather than
their political strength. 1t would be a
still better thing if the business of the
city and town were intrusted to board
of competent men-and the board need
not be larger than the present board of
selectmen. Such board should do pub
lie business in business way, and its
members should receive proper pay for
their services. There need not be any
politics in sewer bricks or paving stones,
or in the buying or laying them for a

The Te Deum was celebrated In all the
important cities of Russia on the 18th
ult., the anniversary of the escape of
the czar and his family at Borki four
years ago. Since that time there have
been erected in commemoration of that
event 745 churches and chapels and fully
5000 cruci6xes, images, clocks and
lamps. 1t has never been positively de-
termined whether the catastrophe at
Borki was an accident or the outcome of
Nihilistic attempt, but so far as the
public know it has always been attributed
by the czar to accidental causes. At
present the czar has no "imperial" train,
but two are in process of construction.
One of these is to be delivered in 1898 and
will be used for foreign trips; the other
will be completed in 1895 and will be an
exact reproduction of the train wrecked at
Borki.
Judge Reed of the supreme court of New
Jersey has decided a case which involved
the question whether a court had a right
to suspend sentence which the law said
should be imposed in a given case and
substitute another sentence. The chan
cellor had decided that certain man was
guilty of contempt of court and said that
he should pay the cost of the suit in which
he had been engaged and counsel fee of
$3.50, and that the statutory punishment
for contempt should be suspended and
held against him. The defendant appealed
and the appeal has been sustained by Judge
Reed, who said that he found no law that
would permit a sentence to be suspended
and another sentence invented; that a
person adjudged guilty cannot be punished
by having a sentence divided, and that
defendant must not be held in suspense of
sentence.
Mr.. Ono, q Japanese statistician, has
just published some interesting figures
concerning the remarkable increase of
population in that country during the
present reign, and especially since 1872.
In January, 1872, the population was
33, Ill 600; in December, 1899, it had in
creased to 40,070,000. Since 1887 the
annual rate of increase has been 13 in
every 1000, SO that, if this rate is pre-
served, the population will double itself
in So years. In England the rate of in
crease is 1872 per 1000, while in most
European countries it is between six and
nine, and in France and Spain much
lower. Mr.. Ono points out that the num-
ber of births in Japan is lower
than in most civilized countries,
except France, and that the number
of illegitimate children is smaller there
than in European States. He therefore
attributes the great increase of the popula-
tion to the development of wealth since the
restoration and to decrease in the death
rate among children. From the tables
which he gives he infers that the national
wealth has doubled in Japan in the last
ten years, and he shows that the increase
in the population has been greatest in the
northern and southern parts of the Empire,
and least in the central part.

duce bonnet, possesses another quality
which I may best illustrate by means of an
anecdote. Arrabella was delicate and slen-
der, and she used frequently to faint.
Thereby she drove her young man dis
tracted. All this irritatsd Aunt Betsie
excessively. At last Aunt Betsie discev-
cred that Arrabella wore a front piece;
it was beautiful one, the pretty fringe
was so well intermingled with Arrabel-
las own scant front locks that no one
would ever suspect. But oh, what diff
ferent person Arrabella looked without
the front. The next time Arrabella
"fainted" and her young man, all pallid
and scared, screamed for Aunt Betsie,
that august lady appeared with alacrity.
"Just take off her front piece" she
shouted loud and clear. "Il warrant
she'll come to-"
She did, che was already "to," but not
in time to stay Aunt Betsie's cruel hand
well, it was a shock to Arrabella's
young man, but he stood it nobly. And
as for Arrabella, it really improved her
health, for she never tainted any more.
The application of that little story to
the fashion plate lies in the fact that the
bonnet was worn with whole false front
of hair, looking exactly as shown in my
drawing. The strings cover the juncture
of your own hair with that which you
have bought, and even Aunt Betsie would
hardly detect the fraud. FLoRETTE.

sense of shame at letting the Colonel

in doubt about what he should do when
