N. D. sPerry, Now and Later.


 The suspense in New Haven Is over. Young Mir. Beach is appointed postmaster and the Hon. N. D. Sperry is to step down and out. He knows how he did the same thirg eight years ago, and four years later, the people of New Haven were fully as glad to have him step in and back again as he was to do 1t himself, With his long expe- rience and his large executive ability he has made an admirable postmaster. Every body in New Haven admits this. Many democrats strove to have him retained. We venture to gay that to-day a majority of the people of New Haven, even If 1t has been democratic by large vote, would prefer to have him stsy-would retain him if 1t were left to @ vote.
 But MT. Sperry's withdrawal from the office. with which his name IS so widely reer. If anyone thinks he Is through, now, 1t is some very frs,h observer. He isn't the msn that people are willing to dispense with if he is willing to serve them.
 Should 1t enter his head, as has been suggested, to stand for congress in the fall then the courts of law whose halls have missed the melody of James P. Pigott's eloquence, would once more take up the cry. Mir. Pigott would re- turn to New Haven and MT. Sperry would be sent to congress. Without any "tidsl wave" Ar. Sperry's own popularity would make him very strong candidate. With the general overturn in public opin- ion that has developed he would surely be elected. That would occupy two years pleasantly for himself and profitably for the state, and If he and others, as Is ex- pected, swing Connecticut into the repub- lican line in 1896, the next president may possibly want somebody from Connecticut to run all the postofices in the country. Mir Sperry could de 1t.

ATAKING SOLICITATION.

A 1AA ANG SOGGE HlON.
 The suggestion that the Hon. N. D. Spsrry be nominated as the Republican candidate for congressman in this district next fall is a suggestion whoss fitness seems to bs promptly and generally recog- nized. If he will take the nomination no better thing can be done. He Is known throughout the district, the State, and throughout many other States as one of the ablest and most effective champions of the policy of protection. That policy hss been a good thing for this district, as those who voted against 1t are finding out. They are finding out that tariff for revenue doesn't mean revenue for them. They wanted a change, and they got it. Many of them will be glad to vote for change back, and there Is nobody in the district for whom they would more gladly vote than for MT. Sperry. the persistent and consistent champion of protection. And MT. Sperry would not only represent the protection idea. He would we'll represent the district in all ways. He knows how business is done in congress, and he wouldn't have to waste much time in 'getting hold" He has national reputa. tion, and he would make himself and his district influential in Washington. If he will listen to . call from the district the district will honor and benefit itself by making 1t. He is too valuable man to be permanently retired from the public ser vice. He would bs @ power in congress aud would be worthy co-worker for the country and Connecticut with our power ful and efficient senators.

choice goods made in 8 woven mixture of tints, instead of one plain color. A gown that, little way off, seems to be silvery green, on cloee inspection discloses a criss- croes of soft grays, browns and brilliant green, with just thread here and there of rose. For the second material to be used with the goods, you may select shade to match any one of those appearing In the weave, and 90 emphasize the becoming tint of the dress. A dress of silvery gray woolsn stuff Is shown. It is pretty model for afternoon wear, and the fur trimming is in keeping with current ideas. If, however, 1t seems too fancifui, velvet of the same color as that put on the skirt may be substituted. In this instance the trellis pattern is made of narrow black velvet ribbon, and the fur is blue fox.
 Berthas, bibs, serpsntines and so on in- crease and apparently multiply. At the came time bows and stocks embellished with bows are becoming every day more popular. The latest stock is folded col lar, very high, of cream chiffon. The chiffon is folded over a stiff foundation and the whole laps and fastens on the side. In front and attached to the lower edge of the collar is a bow of cream chiffon. That is easily said, but you should zee the bow The chiffon is accordeon plested and the bow has at least five loops and two long ends, the whole being big enough to pret ty we'll cover the front of the gown to the waist line. But each loop Is 60 exactly in place, each end SO precise In every grace ful fold that the whole is e triumph, and you may give up at once If you had 6 no tion of ooncocting 1t at home.

Socialism in Sicily.

From the St. James Gazette
 The Christian character of Sicilian so- cisllsm may be noted. Iu the late demon strations the crucifx was often found fastened among the folds of the red ban ner of the Fascio. The emblem of human suffering and of hope in justice hereaf- ter, to which the poor have SO long been taught to look, Is now joined to the em- blem of union and brotherhood to ob- tain justice upon earth. The new faith is only 6 development of 6 very old faith, preached long ago among peasants and fishermen, who were suffering under Italian tax gatherers and were victims of the cruel and corrupt social system of ancient Rome. The higher clergy have maintained an attitude of neutrality dur ing the recent troubles. The parish priests cannot help sympsth.zlng with the people to whom they belong and of whots suffsrings they are daily witness es. The pries. Is almost the only psrson with whom the peasant comes in contract who treats him ss 6 human being and shows interest in him; consequently the influence of the clergy is still great in Sicily. But many of the people have lost their ancient faith and resignation and have become desperate under the pressure of suffering,
 A visit was lately paid to several towns in the disturbed districts by two deputies, Signor Emilio Farina of Florence and Sig nor Comsndini, the latter of whom wrote on account of their visit to the Corriere della Sera In some of the towns the peo- pie hid themselves, taking them for tax gstherers or government officials of some kind whose visit boded no good. On srri- wing at the socialist town of Pisns dei Gre ci they found the people fearless and con- fidsnt. There was no need to make ipQui- ries to see that they were literally stsrv- ing. "In the midst of that crowd" says Signor Comsndini, "of poor peasants, dressed in rage, yet clean, hsggsrd, and trembling with hunger and with anger, I felt 6 deeper impression of sorrow than I some questions of one of the crowd. in answer to which he said that hs hsd wife and four children They lived In ore room, sleeping on straw with their mule. Ills work lay far from the town and his wages amounted to two hundred and sixty or two hundred and seventy francs for the year, ont of which be paid eleven and one half francs for focatico or family ts1, and five and one-hslf francs tax on his mule to the municipality. When he had work he and his little ones ass bread; when out of work they ate weeds and any wild herbs which they could pick. "Why hsd he joined the Fasciog" they asked. 'BecEuse I want work and bread Do you love Dr. Bsrbs,o" (ths president of the Fss- cio, now in prison at PslsrmoN "Yes, more than God; b,causs God Is with those who have their pockets fall. He has abandoned us poor wretcbes, and spurns us," suitipg the action to the word. In celebrated letter to the Timss, written by a celebrated and still living statesman, the reign of the Bourbons in Sicily was de- scribed as the negstion of God upon earth. After more than thirty years the situation appears to be much the same.

RUSINFSS.

The tariff has been called local issue, @ political issue and almost everything but what it is, or should be, namely, business issue. The bill which has bsen introduced by Senator Cullen providing for tariff commission recognizes that the tariff Is a business matter and should be dealt with in a business way. It provides for a com mission of nine members, to be appointed by tie president and approved by the sen- ate. Not more than four commissioners could be appointed from the same political party, and at their first meeting the com missioners would be divided into three class es by lot. the first to hold office for one year, the second for two years and the third for three years, appointments made after the first allotment to be for three years. Reports are to be made on the first Monday in December on the basis of the unit of quantity and the unit of time of wages paid In the United States and in foreign countries in the mauufac- ture of articles which may come into competition with articlss made in this country. The commission is to prepare schedules of customs duties. A previously ascer aimed formula is to be employed for each schedule to insure a rate of tariff equal to the difference in foreign and American wages. On those imports in which labor is not an important element or upon articles of luxury or upon such as do not come into competition with native products, the commission shall prepare schedules of duties, to be submitted to con zress, with reasons for the conclusions reached. The commission Is to fecom- mend annually to congress on the first Monday in December such changes in schedules ss 1t deems necessary for pur-
 poses of revenue and to prevent depression In wages of American workmen and injury to American industries. Each commis- sioner is to receive @ salary of $5, 900. A president is to be elected from the number,
 secretary ct s, 900 psr year and clerks
 and employees to be hereinafter authorized
 by law.
 This is something like 1t. With such a
 commission as this congress could have au
 excuse for acting intelligently on the tariff.

SAVED.
 The assessors will breathe freer today, though they will not have any better air to breathe than they have been having. But they will bs encouraged by the prospect that their deliverance is at hand, and that they will soon have some better air to breathe and better light to see by. The councilmen last evening wisely concurred with the board of aldermen in voting to put an addition to the City Hall on the south side of the assessors' tomb. This ad- dition will make fine, large, airy and well lighted room. It will save any further mutilation of the City Hall, and 1t will help to mitigate the severity of the squab- bling that has been going on between the city and the town. The plan adopted has from the first seemed to us by far the best of those proposed. We congratulate the asse ssors on their escape, and we congrat- ulate the town and the city on their escape from being talked entirely to death over this momentous matter

est advantage, we need not look for 1t in the metropolis of partridRe-shooting Even in Norfolk and Suffolk there Is room for dogs; but 1t is not in thess countries that all the pleasure can be got ont of them which they are capable of affordipg.
 It will be seen that the shooter over dogs has been engaged during good part of the day in finding birds, for which pur- pose 1t is necessary that he should be &C., quainted with the habits of the partridge, and with the likeliest places in which to ind him according to the season, the weather and the time of day. Add to this that he must understood the art of getting round the birds so as to drive them iu the right direction, and we have an assem- blaze of qualities the exercise of which In the eyes of this class of sportsmen Is of the essence of the business. The finding and the pursuit of game. he would say, was the differential element in his own definition of sport. There was probably never better and trusr sportsman in the best sense of the term than Lord Althorpe. He said, in his last years, that 1t had been "the passion of his life to see sporting dogs hunt" whether pointers or fox hounds. This was his idea of sport, and some will still agree with him.
 This Is one kind of partridge shooting. The other Is described by Mr. Stuart Wort ley In passage which deserves to remain for ever the locus clsssicus on the subject It is too long to quote, but the whole scene Is brought before us with sn artists hand. The hopes and fears which throng the moments of suspense, not unlike the sensations of a man waiting at the covert side for the first whimper of the hounds; then the shouts, the rush of pinions, the kills and the misses, the stified pangs with which man feels that 'his eye has been wiped;" all this is described with rare truth and power. But after all the pleas ure afforded by the drive seems to consist almost exclusively ID the shooting, and the question is whether, considering the shooting aloner the superiority of driving in this respect is suffic ent by itself to make 1t preferable to the other method. When, for any reason, there is no choles and driving Is absolutely necessary, there is of course no room for argument. It may be granted that In many parts of England the partridge shooter has no op- ton. But supposipg & man to be offered the choice between some hrst-rate driv- Ing ground In Norfolk and some first rate ground for dogs In another country, which of the two would genuine sports- man selec,i
