New York World: Ex-Judge Henry E. Howland is credited with the follow ing: It is the gross and palpable subter- fuges, deceits and evasions that are ab- horrent to our natures in dealing with the outside world, like that in a prohibition town in Maine, where a lank and red nosed countryman called into drug store and placing demijohn on the counter said to the clerk, "I want gallon of rum, baby's sick" or the cautious spar ring for an advantage. suggested by the answer of the rector of country parish who was revising his sermon one Sunday morning, and was waited upon in his study by his organist, who asked what he should play. 'I don't know" said the rector, absent-mindedly; ''what kind of a hand have you got?"

 NPh railroad in speculations as to further changes or consultations of New England railroad management, is specu- lation purely. To bring it about we must premise either a failure to perfect the present pending lease to the Central Yer mont, or else include the whole Central system in the transfer. Some specula- tors as to probabilities seem to be build ing upon the reported financial weakness of the management of the system. If the wish of the people along the line of the N. L. N. road were to be expressed it would be strongly in favor of having the line go under control of the New Haven system, practically the best managed in New England, if not the best on the con- tinent. But one thing ought to be done, even if the homogeneous can not consoli- date-a good connection made, perma- nently maintained and advertised, where by passengers for New York, from Stafford, or even Monson, Palmer. and stations north could, either at Williman- tic or New London, find close connec- tions. There is no good reason why the bulk of the Stafford all-rail travel to New York should be via Springfield, when dis tance can be saved, and expense ought to be, by another route

The practical and varied expert. ence of the different members of the com. pany make an alliance of mercantile taste and ability which will meet with recogni- tion by parties interested in house furnish. ing. The subject is a big one and worthy oi much more careful consideration than is usually accorded to it, but thanks to such meu as the Wm. H. Post Company, who make the business an art study, we are being guided to higher and better ap- preciation of what it means to make home attractive by reason of the good taste dis played in it's furnishing.

The last, and most probable slate is Judge Gresham of Indiana for secretary of state; Daniel Lamont of New York for secretary of war; ex-Gov. Camp bell of Ohio for the navy; Hoke Smith of Georgia, interior; Wilson of West Vir- ginia sattorney general W. s.

Another report makes Carlos French of Connecticut secretary of the navy, and Hoke Smith secretary of agriculture.
 CONNECTICUT has had more brilliant men in her gubernatoral chair, but few of sounder judgment or more sterling qualities than the present chief magis- trate. Those who best know him have the highest opinions of his character in the respects named. His appointments so far verify this opinion. If there is a questionable one in the lot it is that of labor commissioner. It is remarkable that a man whose stump speeches have been so fragrant an appeal to the preju- dices of the working men, and an attempt to incite these prejudices, should now be opposed in his confirmation by the very class to whom he gave "taffy' for their votes.
