CLASS LEGISLATION.

There is no subject in the State, or in Newtown especially, more exciting at the present time than 'class legislation" on fishing. A man or boy dare not go out with hook and line to fish for trout without watching as our forefathers did for Indansi The 'ssmall boy' guesses that some Indian, or hired club man, may collar him in the alders and make his father pay more than his services have Heen worth for six months. And what makes this anti-American legisla- tion contemptible is that rich gentlemen, 'sLords and Nobles," make grand jury complaint and tax everybody, that they may have the exstasy of fishing Who were those legislators that forgot the country they live in? Couldn't they see that if you tax everybody that every body should as first principle of justice be allowed to fish! In NewtoWn the in- ducement to farmers to lease was, that s'we want to keep out outsiders; we are gentlemen, we'll not set your woods on fire or leave down rail.'' Yet their cronies, and even themselves. being pro- tected in their sGod given privileges are the more warranted in violating the law and their fair promises! There are a few of this notorious 'srod and reel club'' so modest that they will not fish
 brooks not posted. Such members are like the most exemplary girls. entitled
 to the most obsequious adulation. We
 venture to predict that when the leases
 expire on Pohtatuck brook, (about foul years, this club will cease to exist anG
 we hope that there will be the repeal of z law so un-Ameriean as the one whicl gives rich gentlemen exclusive right to l fish on ssleased landn and defend then l by outrageous laW.-EG. W. Bradley.

effective service, that he wear a broad cloth suit, tall hat and be mildly pious but his humanity should be of an intense1 sort, shaped by high purpose. He comes from the restless atmosphere of America into the calm, philosophic ex- istence of India. ''The calm, still days in golden haze,' of which our poet Whittier sings, fill all the year on the banks of the Indus. The missionary is busy man.

 Then a native helper, who has ridden hard since daybreak, announces that the heather have come down on his little church like wolves on fold. In the af- ternoon, letter is to be written to the government officials about the high school, the station ledger has to be post ed, the points for next Sundays sermon prepared, a teacher examined for po- sition, and callers received. Dinner comes at seven in the evening, when the children are told for the 50th time the adventures in last years tiger hunt. Nine o'clock, children are in bed, lights out in the boarding school, and the mis- sionary sits for few moments in fur ther corner of the garden, where the gen. tie breezes fan away the care and bur- den of the day. Thus the seeds are dropped day by day, week by week, year

TEN THOUSAND MILES ACROSS THE SEA.

The interest which the series of mis- sionary meetings, hald in the Congrega- tiunal church has awakened, has not be- fore been better tested than it was last Sunday evening by the heavy downpour of rain that came just at the time for opening the meeting. An audience very fair in numbers assembled and gave the cl Best attention to all the thoughts brought out by the singing and the speaking. The missions and religion of
 India formed the subject for the meeting, and, though that land lies 10000 miles away, it was brought home to the hearts of the people in sympathy aroused for the work and the workers there. The
 special selections sung by the choir, en- titled "Bringing the Golden Sheaves'
 and "Tell It Out among the People
 were good and right to the purpose of
 the meeting. The opening address was
 by A. F. Smith, who spoke of the Heath en religions of India, of the power of
 Hinduism and it's conquests. In closing
 he contrasted the way Hinduism secured it's power, with the working of Christian ity. which entered India holding aloft the banner of love and good will to men. Miss Fife Wolcott gave graphic pie ture of that strange custom which holds in India. the betrothal and marriage Of children at the earliest possible age.

The advertising agency of N. W. Aver < Son of Philadelphia, is unquestionably the largest and probably the best equip ped of any in the United States. It has more and larger patrons than any other, and, taking one thing with another, it is questionable whether they are not en- titled to the creditlof securing for their patrons better service than can be count ed on from any other. It should be and doubtless is, great source of pride and satisfaction to MT Aver and Mir McKin- ney that they have been able, while re- maining in Philadelphia, to build up a larger advertising business than has ever been secured before by any advertising agency in New York or. elsewhere.

spir, d by this sentiment and lives up to the principles which make this country, what 1t is iu it's institutions and priVi- leges, becomes true American, what ever his origin and education and inher- ttance. American society, like the En- glish language, is composite. It is com posed of elements of life and character contributed by all the world at large.
 But as the English language is En- glish, though derived from Greek, Latin, French, Italian, German or any source, so America is and must be American and for Americans, whatever race or nation may have been the home of the adopted citizen or of his ancestors
 Self interest imposes upon every one who comes to this country to find a home, the bounden duty to maintain, at every cost, the freedom and equality of American nstitutions.-IO. o. Wright

THE TROUT ARE TASTEFUL.

The unemployed have plenty of time to follow the brooks for the speckled trout. We hear of put few being caught yet. In Plumtrees brooks last fall there was a goodly number we often saw there in some favorite place and quite large ones, too. They must have left for some more favorable locality to spend the winter; but few have been seen or caught at the present time; East Swamp brook is overrun with water cress. It is impos- sible to follow the channel or fish with hook and line within many rods Of the same. The water is cold and clear the year around. It is probably one of the best breeding streams in the state. Hun dreds of men and boys, in the season, ,are fishing these little streams every week. It's wonder that any are left for seed. but when fall comes again there is sure to be some left. They work themselves up almost to the last spring to leave their spawn or eggs and then return to the larger streams. Let every boy have few days in spring to fish. It will do him good. Be he rich or poor, give him this privilege if he enjoys it. For my part, don't think it right to let few men monopolize the streams and ponds l in the state. We believe that every nat ] ural pond belongs to the state and every | inhabitant should have the right to fish i therein, under certain restrictions, and have legal pass way to and from the
 same, with three rods of ground around
 the outside.
