DR.. Bernard c. Steiner, Librarian of the
Enoch Pratt Free library, has completed a
monograph on slavery in Connecticut
Among the interesting facts in the works
is the statement that the first slaves in
Connecticut were not negroes, but Indians,
being of the Pequot tribe. which was over
thrown by settlers in l63S. The first law
against the slave trade, too, was passed in
1715 against the importation of the Tus-
carora Indians, who had been captured by
the Carolinians in war The first idea OF
slavery in Connecticut was then that cap
tives in war were slaves. Soon after the
foundation of the colony, negroes were in
troduced, few at a time, chiefly from the
West Indies and not from Africa. They
were owned for the most part rs household
servants, and the Connecticut notion of
slavery was the patriarchal one, that slaves
belonging to the family of the master diff
fere d from apprentices only in being bound
to service for life.
Slavery was tolerated everywhere in Con-
nectiCut throughout the colonial period, but
with the coming of the Revolution came
the idea that it was unrghteous to hold
men in bondage. This feeling led to the
act of 1874, prohibiting the foreign slave
trade, and that of 1874, providing that all
thereafter born as slaves should be free on
reaching their twenty-fifth year. This age
was afterward lessened to twenty one
Connecticut is remarkable as being a state
which succeeded in gradual emancipation
When slavery was finally abolished there
in lS4S, fewer than twenty slaves were in
the state. none of whom were under sixty
four years of baltimore Sun.

It's just Plain Governor.

The people OF an inland New York
town were quite upset, the other day, by a
visit from Governor Flower. They couldn' I
agree among themselves as TO the proper
way to address the governor on such an
important occasion, and as a last resort
they wrote to Col. Williams, his private
secretary, who answered: II know of no
law, custom or etiquette that makes ii
proper to address the governor by any IT,
tie except that of governor, whether it be
in personal conversation with him or in a
public document or address. Some peo-
pie address him as Your ENcellency,' but
there is no warrant for such title, either
in the constitution or law or rules OF eti
q uette or common sense"

For the first time IN his service in the
Senate for IA years Senator Don Cameron
of Pennsylvania made a speech in that
body last week. His longest previous re-
mark had been: "Mr. President, | move
we do now adjourn" His speech was in
opposition to silver repeal. Briefly stated,
MI. Cameron's argument was based upon
the idea that the silver policy of the gov
eminent had SO far not been detrimental to
the interests of Pennsylvania, and that
the suspension of silver purchases would
lead to a dangerous contraction of the cur
rency. He also submitted certain linan-
cial propositions of his own. To increase
the quantity of our circulating medium he
said: 81 propose a gold loan of as many
hundred million dollars as Congress may
decide, to be bought at the market rate,
and held in the treasury as the gold re-
serve is held in the bank of France and
by the governments of the Latin union.
| propose to open our minis to the free
coinage of American silver, imposing a
duty on the import of foreign silver.
propose, for the benefit of the poorer and
weaker states, especially in the South, to
repeal the tax on state bank circulation, a
measure which is intended to give them a
free hand in moving their own crops, de-
veloping their resources, and relieving
them from their seryitude to the great cap
italist cities. | look 10 no effect, or but
little, from this step, as far as the North

The Army of Unemployed.
Many Factories i'm New England Resum-
ing Operations.

1t is found that of 3d. 900 people usually
employed in a certain number of large
textile factories in and about Philadelphia,
$4,000 are now idle. The industrial situa-
ton in that city has not been so critical
since the panic began, and public relief
measures have become necessary. Most of
the larger cities are confronted sharply
with the problem of the unemployed jus,
now, but to less degree than is indicated
for Philadelphia.
Many of the mills in Massachusetts,
which have been shut down or running on
half-time, have resumed work. Some re-
duction in wages have been ordered, but
they are in no case excessive and the EN-
ployes have been glad to except them.
The Parkhill manufacturing company of
Fitchburg, which employs more than 1000
hands, resumed work Monday, cutting
wages slightly. The large wooden mills at
Ware, employing 100 hands, and the
print works at North Adams, employing
2OOO, are running again

Deltena Davis was found floating in the

her, and at a trial in May of last year he
was convicted of her murder. a second
trial was granted on the ground of newly
discovered evidence. The new evidence
was chiefly that of Boston clairvoyants,
who testified that two or three days before
the alleged murder girl answering to Miss
Davis's description called on them, an
