 AT the annual session of the W. R. c. of Connecticut, held at Norwich last, week, Mrs. Augusta B. Hammond, of Rockville, was elected president, and Rockville chosen as the next place of meeting.
 NOTHING new transpires to feed the hope that the N. l.. N. railroad may be acquired by the Consolidated. The only new evil denee to favor the theory is the emphatic assertion of the parties interested that they had s'never even thought of such thing" Such strong denials usually come in railroad deals-only when the deal is sure to be, or has been consummated. THE proposition to make up to Gov. Mckinley, of Ohio, by one dollar contri- buttons his heavy losses through another mans business management, finds one strong objector-the proposed recipient. The governor proposes with the help oI wife's fortune to work out the indebted ness and begin again.
 THE inauguration ceremonies of Satur- day are to distance those of all former wears in departure from "Jeffersonian simplicity.r Ths great parade is to be beycnd precedent in elaboration of detail. .ssTam5ssny', is to have the right of line, and it's representation. tsiss. gill run into the thousands. President Harrison and NlFss Mckee will entertain MT. and Mrs. 'Cfeve- land at dinner on Friday evening, and the two will follow the usual custom of riding to the inauguration ceremonies together.
 THE Connecticut senate on Thursday last voted not to confirm the nomination of Clarence Deming to be insurance con- missioner Only four members, all dem ocrats, voted favorably. It was under stood that the republicans would oppose the confirmation of any nominee, claiming that the present commissioner is entitled to the office to the close of the term through the failure of the senate to take action upon his appointment in 1891. Gov Morris on Friday sent in the name of ex-Senator John s. Seymour of Nor walk, for the position.
 WHETHER or. not the tin plate industry is developing in a manner to warrant the continuance of it's protection is question, the answer to which is dependent upon the veracity of the assailants or defend ants of the interests of the young indus try. Some one is lying prodigiously about it. In any event the way to defeat the efforts to add to one of our great national products is to keep hanging over it the probability of the withdrawal of protec- tion. Give the foreign makers the chance to throttle it. Trust them to do if they get the chance. The people who are complaining seem to be-not the con- sumers, ,but-the politicians, who fear that the continuance of protection in this case will result in striking proof of the bene- fits of the policy.

 The best people of all parties regard ii as a good cabinet. Some democrats take exception to Judge Gresham as too re- cent accession to the party, in fact he re- , fuses to call himself democrat. He was strong competitor with Gen. Harrison for the republican nomination in 1888, voted for Harrison that year, but has since held aloef from the republican party because he did not believe in all of it's ten cts of protection. Last year he was promi- nently mentioned for the nomination fo1 president by the populists, with which party he had expressed sympathy, but he declined to be considered candidate. He voted for Mir. Cleveland
