A Record of Prosperity.

Normal (Ct.) Bulletin:
There are TAG, 25S people in Connecticut,
according to the last census. This includes
men, women and babies-white, black and
yellow-laborers, bondhOlders and paupers
not taxed.
And there are 331. 061 of them who have
deposits in the savings bank of the State
That is to say, of every nine persons in the
entire population of Connecticut, four have
something laid by for rainy day in the
savings bank.
Now don't skip right along and read some
thing else. Stop minute and think-think
what that means. Think what it means.
Think what itimplies as to the ability of the
great mass to earn more than their needs
absolutely call for; think what it implies as
to the relative comfort of the homes of the
State; think what it implies as to the con-
ditiOn of industry and the rewards of indus
try
Only about 10000 votes were cast
at the recent election in this state. That Is
less than half the number of saving bank
depositers. 1t means that thousands of
women and minors as we'll as citizens of
voting qualifications are laying by their little
Overplus. Nor can the importance of. the
figures be weakened by the assertion that
there are many rich men included in the list
There are but 1873 saving bank depositers
i'm the whole state with over $40, 900 to their
credit There are $780, with less than
$4,000. The average for the entirt number
of deposltOrs is S394.75 each.
The gain during 1892 was IS, 104, 500 in
tie amount OF deposits; 13, 1856 in the num-
Der of depositers; 1888, 905 in tn, assets of
banks: $1l5, 4s3 i'm the amount of dividends
declared and paid, and $9.1S in the amount
due each depositer on the average.
And that was the year when a majority of
the people of the state decided that they
wanted no longer continuance of the trade
under which this had happened,
and voted for complete change of regi-
mental policy.
We don't envy the task of the future his
toran when he comes TO explain that vote
under those circumstances.

Things to Think of and Remember.

From The American Economist
the savings banks as today. Never were SO
many wage workers employed as now.
Never were wages so high, on the average,
as now. Never were the necessaries of life,
as a whole, so low in price as now. Never
was aswage worker able to win so large a
surplus above the decent cost of living of a
sober man as now.
Never were the internal commerce and the
foreign exports and imports so great as now.
In all these matters there has been an
improvement in the past two years since
the Mckinley tariff became law. Grant
ing that other causes have helped, it still
remains clear that this tariff has been no
hindrance but strong help to this improve
ment--which manifestly helps the uplifting
of the people.
There is no basis of fact or reason in the
cutlery against the Mckinley tariff. 1t IL a
free trade pretext for breaking down the
policy of professionalism policy approved
by Washington and jefferson, by Andrew
jackson and Lincoln, and which is gaining
among the great European nations, and is
loudly called for by British workingmen.
Can the solid South and its TammaDy
tools keep up this prosperity by their free
trade policy?
Can we expect grapes from thorns or
figs from thistles?"
Will they venture to administer their own
medicine?
Let them try. IL they can muster courage.

make mad"

ovid's Candidate for University Regen,


OVID, Mich, Feb. 2:-Editor of the Trib-
une: AS the republican state convention is
rapidly approaching l wish to present the
name of a man for nomination for regent Of
the University. / suggest the name of
man who has been wheel-hOrse i'm the re-
publican party in central Michigan for years,
a man who is eminently qualified both by
intellectual endowments and educational
requirements for the position, Charles
Farmer, of Ovid, who has never yet sought
political preferment, has undoubtedly done
as much for his party as any man in this
section of the state and has always been
cODspicuously identified with educational
interests. Clinton County has meyer been
highly favored with places on the state tick
ct, and the coming convention will present
an excellent opportunity to reward de-
serving republican and honor county
which has always given the state ticket
handsome plurality. b. V. SoJLE.

WASHINGTON; D. c., June ~, 1S93.-The
roll of victims of the old Ford Theatre
building, used as an Office by the clerks of
the pension and record division of the Wan
department, has been increased by the
death of the New Jersey clerk, Mr.. Arthur
NJ. Girault. AS stated in these dispatches
on the day of the disaster, Mr.. Girault had
his desk on the second floor and went
down in the terrible collapse without a
moments warning. His arm was fractured
his spine badly injured and he was nearly
killed by the shock, so that his condition
even last Friday was such as to make his
death a matter of prediction. He died Sat
urday morning. His remains were taken
in charge by an undertaken and were yes
terday conveyed to his former home in
Vineland, N. j., accompanied by his wife
and brother, who were at Annapolis, Md,
but who reached here before he died. The
deceased had only b9en IN Washington for
pa few months and leaves a widow and one
married daughter.
He had accumulated some money, which
was deposited in one of the local banks,
but his bank books, which he kept at his
Office, are lost, and his widow does not
know at which bank he kept his account.
A very valuable gold watch which was in
his vest is also missing, but a description
has been given to the police, and it is
hoped that it will be found.
The other New Jersey clerk, Wellington
Kugler, who was injured, is improving.

PASTORS ON BILLIARDS.
Twill Keep the Young Men Out
of the Saloons. They Say.

Rev. NJ. L. Gates, Pastor of Grace M. 3
Church on Tonnele avenue, when asked
for his opinion on the introduction of bill
lard tables in the Young Mems Christian
Association, said
Il prefer not to be interviewed on that
subject. / have an opinion of my own in
the matter and don't care about having it
get out. You may say this much, now
ever, / shall o oppose them in any way"
DIR. Chas. Herr, Pastor of the First Pres
byterian Church, when asked What his
opinion is on the introduction of billiards
in the Y. M. c. A., said
II haven't much of an opinion about it.
If the directors put the tables in l shall
heartily support them. Billiards is a
harmless, and in many respects a charm
ing game. and as / understand it, a young
man can't play it unless he belongs to
some club or owns a table. without enter
ing a saloon to do so. | think 1t should
be put within the reach of young men so
that they won't be tempted to enter the
saloons and other places where it is played
and where they will be tempted to gamble
and drink"
Dr.. Brett told a JERSEY CITY NEWS re-
porter that he has no objections to the in
trodnction OF billiard tables into the
Young Mems Christian Association or in
any place where they are disconnected
with gambling and drinking. He said:
billiards is a game which incites skill,
and while l don't play myself, | think it a
very good game for young men to play"
Il am opposed to Billiards being played
anywhere said DR.. Lowrie, when APP
preached by a JERSEY CITY NEWS re-
porter on the subject Of the Introduction
of the game into the Y. NJ. G. A. THE
game III itself is quite harmless, but it
opens the way for associations that are not
harmless out hurttul. If a young man
plays billiards at home or at some club for
boys, such as the Y. NJ. C. A, he in time
becomes expert and then comes the temp
tation to go to places where the game is
played for money and where he is easily
led into gambling and drinking"
