Brother Mason has been talking right
out in meeting He has been saying
things that have made stir, and the
stir may increase. He may even be
called on by the Legislature to tell how
he knows that members of the Con-
necticut legislature are bought like cat
tie in the shaubles." If he is so called
on he will probably have some difficulty
in making his vigorous assertion good.
He was so shocked and Disguised by
the passage by the senate of the local
option-hell-localizing pool bill that he
couldn't see how members of the legis-
lature could vote for it without being
hired to do so, But it is not probable
that he can actually prove that any
body was hired by agents of the devil
to assist in localizing hell in Connecti-
cut. So he might have dome better by
following the lead of Senator Coffey,
and ascribing the passage of the bill in
the Senate to "the urging element"
Senator Coffey is right on the ground,
and probably knows just what pushed
the bill through. His reference to "the
urging element" was doubtless founded
on fact. 1.-THE urging element in the
present legislature has been quite act
i've and successful. Senator Coffey him.
self acknowledges that he has felt its
influence, and If he can be impressed
and moved by it there is perhaps no
cause to wonder that less experienced
and less bold and vigorous senators feel
the position of Senator Coffey and those
who succumbed to the push and the pull
OF "the urging element" in the local
option-h ell-localizing matter is, how
ever, plain. They should have resisted
more Thanh they did. They had a duty
to the public, and they should have done
that duty. When they felt that ''the
urging element" was likely to be too
much for them they should have asked
for support from the people. They
might even have asked for prayers in
their behalf by the churches. The
churches would have been glad to pray
for them. Now, as Brother Mason indi-
Gates, many who would have prayed
fervently for them are so discouraged
by their action as to feel that they are
almost past praying for. We do not
share this feeling, and we do realize
that "the urging element" urged them
hard. But they should not have allow
ed themselves to be vanquished, and
they do not make a brave and manly
showing when they attempt to shift
their own responsibility on to 'the urg-
ing element"
Brother Masotnfs language is plain,
and he doubtless thinks he can see a
logical connection between the action
of the ption-hell-localizing sena-
tors and the cause to which he ascribes
it. But it is extremely doubtful if he
can make the connection as plainI as
the language he states it in is. He
should have accepted Senator Coffey's
excuse in the spirit in which it was
given. He could then have plainly
shown the connection betweent "the urg-
ing element" and the shameful, action
1t and the yielding senators are respon-
sible for.

An English manufacturer asked in
the Commons the other day if the gov
eminent was aware that thousands of
commercial Travellers among them
large numbers from the United States
with local agents for American firms,
were doing a considerable business in
the United Kingdom, to the INJURY of
home manufacturers. He urged that
a license be required of all representa-
tives of foreign interests in the king
dom. The complaint did not receive
much attentions from the government,
which through the president of the
board of trade, Professor Bryce, replied
that the requirements of licenses would
mot be good policy.

The American Grocer wants to esee
the tax on beer doubled, to make up
for any possible deficit in the revenue.
In 1894 this country produced SS,962,87S
barrels Of beer, which paid an internal
revenue of 81 per barrel of thirty-one
gallons, or about one-ffth Of cent
per half-pint glass. 1t is calculated
that this tax could be doubled without
increasing the price of beer to the
consumer or being oppressive to brew
ers or dealers. This would yield over
$50. 0O9 900 additional revenue.

The Original Wedding Cake.

Our wedding cake is the remains of a
custom whereby Roman bride held In
her left hand three wheat ears, and many
centuries later an English bride wore ON
her head a chaplet of wheat. The at
tendant girls threw corn, either in grains
or IN small bits of biscuit or cake, upon
the heads of the newly married couple,
ana the guests picked up the pieces and
ate them. Such was the beginning of
the wedding cake, which did not come
into general use until the eighteenth
century and was then composed of solid
blocks, laid together and iced all over
with sugar, SO that when the outer crust
was broken over the brides head the
cakes inside fell on the floor, and they
were then distributed among the COM
pany.-New York Sun.

State Assessors. Finish Work With
Kennebec County Assessors.
Bicycle Question Getting 70 Be One Of Grea
Importance.

The meetings of the State assessors held,
Wednesday and Thursday, at the Capitol,
showed some interesting results, from the
towns of Kennebec county.
The new question on the programme,
this year, is that of bicycles do you tax
bicycles and how many
The only assessors who answered in the
affirmative to the first part of the ques
ton, We're those from Augusta, who esti
mated that they taxed bicycles and that
there were in that city 800, the largest
number of all. In all the other towns no
tax was assessed, the numbers varying all
tho way up to 800. Gardiner came in
second largest, with 175.
The only assessors who answered in the
affirmative to the first part of the question
were the Augusta assessors. They esti-
mated that there were 300 bicycles In their
territory This was the largest of the
county, Gardiner coming next with 175
estimated; Waterville, third, with $50.
Windsor claims two riders. No mention
of the estimated proportion of the sexes
riding was made, an interesting feature of
The total number for the county is about
1859.
The bicycle taxation is one which is
affording the assessors some interesting
problems.
Bicycles, especially within the past year,
having increased in numbers, until they
now make Il decidedly respectable show
ing in the valuation of the State property.
Estimating the value of each wheel to be
about $50 the valuation of all in Kennebec
county would then be s57, $50. This figure
is surprising. When it is considered that
In other counties, Cumberland, for in
stance, where the figure reaches 2i00,
valued at $3.50, o0o), the total figure for
the State would be something very siz
able.
Another fact regarding bicycles, which
would seem to warrant the equity of their
being taxed, is that they are distinctly a
mode of conveyance, aud not only cause a
loss in transportation to electric and
steam railroads, but. even more vitality,
perhaps, to the livery business, and conse-
ouent demand for horses and carriages,
which are unquestionably taxable
property. Horses, by the depreciation in
value which they have suffered by the ad
vent of the electric railroad and bicyclism,
have become, though hardly drug in the
market, a cheap article, compared with
what they were few years ago
Such depreciation would naturally de-
