vases and choices. In this country, one often sees such signs. as "Quick Lunch for Business Men," or cone Minute Lunch," and foreigners marvel at our celerity in getting away with meals. When it comes to choosing rulers and campaigning we are as slow as ice wagons.
 It has been argued that if the Nation al Republican convention is held in May the delegates will not suffer per sonal discomfort from heat, and their brains will be much clearer, and they will not be liable to make a mistake about candidates. This is a very trif1ing argument. It depends upon where the convention meets. There was no personal discomfort at Min neapolis in 1892. At St. Louis or Gin cinnati, delegates must be expected to suffer from the heat in May as well as in June. Philadelphia is "hotter'n & lime kiln" in May or June. But then this matter Of discomfort is always ex- aggerated, and surely, if personal con- fort is the thing needed, it would be promoted far more by holding the nominating conventions in the middle of October and giving tho committees and campaigners six weeks to push their claims. The campaign would be short and hot, but it would be an enormous improvement over the tradi- tional, long-drawn. out racket, which leaves the participants, candidates and ali, in that wretched condition the Ger. mans call "katzengammer."

THE MUNICIPALITIES insist that silver was rot demonetizsd for the purpose of appreciating the value of money and
 that no such result has followed. They have not undertaken to explain why it was done. Not one of them has offered any reason for the action of 1873. They admit that silver was worth more than gold then, and they are therefore de- barred from urging as reason for the demonetization the same condition that is now held to demand it's continuance. Things are not done without reason in this world. AS silver was not demone- tized because 1t was cheap" or because there was too much of it seeking the coinage privilege, it follows that there was some other cause. Will some mo. nometallist please explain what the un- named reason was? If they did not expect to appreciate the value of gold,

IS IT ADVISABLE?

It appears that some members of the Repu blican National committee favor holding the convention of 1896 in May instead of June, to gain & month for campaign operations, says the Min neapolis Journal.
 It does not appear that this is very desirable change. It will lengthen the the activities of the campaign and will be an innovation. since only one Ma tional Republican convention since the war has been held in any month but June. Is it really desirable to begin the cam paign racket month earlier than usual? Wouldn't it be better for the country rather to shorten the great est political campaign rather than pro. long it? We spread the excitement and fireworks and razzle dazzle over six months, until everybody is tired, when a powerful five or six weeks cam pa1gn, such as they have in France and England, would give the campaign committees of both parties all the time necessary to fire the popular heart with documents, orations, roor bachs, Fireworks and processions. Tn this live country, it really ought not to take five times as long to exploit party principles and the virtues of candidates as it does in France or England. Six weeks is obviously time enough to mature can-

WOMEN AND SUFFRAGE.

It appears that the women who have been clamorlng for suffrage and what they consider equal rights are not to have everything their own way. This time the opposition is to come from the ranks of well.known women of New York City, who propose to organize for the purpose of fighting woman suffrage. They declare that they will convince the New York Legislature that 8 vast majority of the women of the state do not want suffrage. The cause of this movement IS the passage by the Leg islature of the Nixon resolution which permitted the question of woman sui. frage to be su omitted to the people. The resolution must be passed by both houses next year and then voted on at the following election. Many we'll known society leaders of Gotham are arrayed against the movement and they have issued an address referring to the resolution about woman suffrage. The address says:
 The passage of such a resolution is mischievous legislation, and it would never have taken place had the mem. bers of the two houses been convinced that large majority of the women of this state earnestly opposed the exten- sion of the suffrage to their own sex.
 The fact that the many women who are opposed to the suffrage never rea- lized the danger of this imposition is the reason why they have not been heard. The one way to show our in. terest is to form these branch associa- tions and by reading and talking to in. terest others who are now indifferent or ignorant. This work is of imperative necessity, for, unless the women of this state rise in their might and refuse to be coerced into kind of life from which they have q ''natural right" to be exempted, the obnoxious legislation will go on. Our legislators have only to be shown that the women opposed to the suffrage are a force in the com munity to be convinced that the burdening them with political respon. sibility would be to do them a grave wrong.
 Let education with all its acquired wisdom advance more rapidly that wo- men may all learn that division of the worlds work between men and women is necessary for it's perfect accomplish. ment.
 The campaign in New York ought to be merry one. If the women really want suffrage they will get it as they do about every thing else in the world they wish for, and they will get it just as soon as they wish. But there is not ten per cent of them want suffrage. Let the merry campaign begin.

OLD BRIDGE BURNED.
It Connected Fast Hartford With Hartford
 and Cost &135, 900.

HARTFORD, May lS.-The old East Hartford bridge. about which so much controversy is now going on in tho lcgisla- ture was destroyed by fire, only the small draw on tho Hartford sido being saved. The fire started presumably from the olec- tIic trolley wire at the East Hartford end and spread to the Hartford end under the strong draft, setting at naught the efforts of tho firemon. In ten minutes several spans fell into the water, and in half an hour all were gone but the draw.
 Three trolley ears passed through the bridge while tho fro was incipicnt, but no lives were lost. Tho flames drew so rap idly through the bridge that Engine Com pany 3' men had narrow escape. Their hose wagon and horses were burned. All the eastern wires crossed tho bridge and were destroyed
 Tho structure WAS built in ISIS Ut q management was assumed by i've neigh boring towns, and in Is by tho state, Bills arc now pending to turn Il uvur to the five towns again. It has i,, II paired many times on being declared uHsA'r. A contract had already been signed for a new iron bridge
 The bridge was n covered affair l. Q6C feet long, and contained n great amount of lumber from its numerous repairs, II was the only bridge over the river in g miles, and the traffic by trolley and team ing caused ono span to settle in 1893. lr spite of repairs it has sinco been shaky.

LOOK TO PIE FUTURE.

Citizen and Taxpayer Makes an
 Argument For the HefEernan Lot. Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 In selecting site for a high school the needs of the future should be cons idered, for that reason I consider the Heffernan lot away above all the others offered, while the price is lower. It has front age of three hundred feet on East Main street and four hundred feet on Dublin street, and would answer the needs of the city for all time to coma.
 There are other things that should also be considered. It fronts on the best sewer in the city. will not cost much to grade and contains many shade trees. Another point in its favor, and a strong one, is the fact that it is within h filing distance of the Brass City fire house. The street cars pass on the East Main street front, and it is only half mile removed from the center, with no steep grades to climb. believe that it is the most avail able place in the city for high school.

 In the city court to-day Frank Ca r, l. was charged with the theft of pocketbook and SIS from Julia Mahoney The theft occurred on March 5 Mrs Mahonty saiN she met Carroll ou the corner of South Main and Union streets; that she stopped to talk with him; that he seized her purse and ran around in the rear of the block and through Sheehans saloon Carroll sad he worked every day in Plume X At woods and bearded on Emerald street. He met Mrs Mahoney on tue day ln Iues- ton in front of Turner's store. She told hIm 10 go 60 a saloon and wait for her. He did 50 and when she came in they had drinks together. She then missed her purse aud accused him of taking it. II dt = nled it, but she called the bartender to whip him. He then skipped out. He was sick that day which Was the reason Ee was not working He worked at Plume & Atwood's until May II, when he was laid of. A telephone message to Plume G Atwood's confirmed that story.

 TAMPA, Fla. May lS.-When the h. fanta Isabella was detained lero Gnvino Gutierrez, Spanish vlce consul, chartered steamer, commanded by Captain J. A. Mason, to visit tho warship. It is said he told Captain Mason to present his Lill in triplicate to the Spanish cunsulS office for payment. Thursday. so tho story goes, Captain Mason went to the spanish con sul's office, now occupied hy Senor Pedro Soils Arias, chief Spanish consul for this state. When ho presented the lill, tho Spanish consul looked mp and imperative ly told him to take off his hat The cap tain laughed, thinking il a joke. The consul continued:
 Do you know where Snu arc, siT. Why l don't you tnke off your hat; The captain flushed and said tlal he did not have to.
 Then. said the conoua II will have 1t taken of, v and ho called in an r7sist ant. Captain Mason, now ArouseI. told | him that if he attempted anything of the kind he would break his umbrella over his head.
 Do you mean to say that you would strike me with that umbrella?"
 "Yes. do. I am an American citizen and free man. am here on business and not to pay my respects to you" | Then, turning, the captain warned the assistant, who was near the door, that if | he came in to molest him in any manner there would be serious trouble. There was some talk of forcing the captain from the office but it ended in talk and the captain left of his own accord without l even lifting his hat. The above is the sub stance of the conversation, but 1t is hinted l that much more forcible and emphatic l language was used
 Captain Mason has referred his bill to Captain Lesley, the collector of customs at this port. It is also said that Mason thinks the Spanish consul owes him an apology, and there Is some talk of a DOT sonal encounter when the principals meet l on tho street.

Postmaster Fitzpatrick Gives Warming
 to the Public Regarding Purchases.
 Postmaster Fitzpatrick has received mo- tifcation from the department at Wash ipgton to be on his guard against the new two cent counterfeit stamp. Its color is little lighter than the original stamp and while it will be rather easy for the post office officials to detect the imitation. very few of the general public would note the difference.
 To be on the safe side people should not purchase stamps except through official channels. There are many people now who buy stamps fora slight discount from card agencies, etc. Some day they will be taken in.
 One man who received lot of poorly gummed stamps says he has discovered a sure way of detecting the counterfeit If the stamp refuses to stick. it is genuine {; | if it sticks, it is counterfeit
