Henry Warmer of the West village and
N. Rouillard of Hnsdale owned the bulk

Z. b. Beals, florist of the Sunny Dell
greenhouse of Greenfield, Mass, brought a
beautiful collection of potted plants, carna-

Ingraham, gladiolus by Mrs. Sydney Lam
phear, phlox by Minnie Thayer, sweet pea;
by Mrs. F. l.. Welman, all of Guilford
dahlias by Mrs. G. L. Stacy, pansies by

The Fine ShrOpshires from BridgpOr
I'D. = PTatt's SOuthdOwns.
The most notable exhibit of sheep was
made by A. w. and j. p. Wilcox of Bridg-
port, though there were large number of
exhibitors of small lots. Messrs. Wilcox
had about % head which were shown as
samples from their focks of pure bred reg
istered Shropshires. They were finely pro-
portioned animals with feeces much more
compact and even than are usually seen in
that breed, while having at the same time
the merit of large size.
A few good grade Shropshires were
shown by w. w. Ball of Winchester, N.
III. The other exhibits of sheep were most
ly of Southdowns and their grades. Sew
eral pens of pure bred SOuthdowns were
shown by ID. S. Pratt, also by Roadway d

The investigation now being carried on
before committee of the New York state
Senate shows that the flrenen OF New
York city have been annually mulcted by
representatives in the Legislature. They
have been told that to secure desired leg
islation they must come down with the
dough- Heretofore their cake has been
dough and the inference is that the rep
rcsentativcs pocketed the Doodle. 1t may
not be shown that this year any OF the
money raised has been expended in plr-
chasing members Of the state Senate but
there are good reasons to believe that the
money was raised. In this connection the
president of the board of fire commits
sioncrs testified that he believed ex-deputy
fire Chief McCabe, who committed suicide
the other day, did so rather than tell
what he knew of the high handed corrup-
ton, from which even the New York fire
department is not exempt. McCabe APP
peared to be in good health and in posses
sion of his reason so that to commit sui
eide rather than tell what he knew and in
cur the criticism of his associates shows to
what depths the moral sensibilitcs OF
many people in that large city have de-
scended. The old adage there is honor
among thieves has been wocfully stretched
in application so it now appears to in
clude the robbed as well as the robbers.

Whether technically this country has
a right to forbid England to demand and
collect damages of Nicaragua is question
over which honest men may differ. No
one VIC think will deny, however, that
it is contrary to the spirit Of fair play and
defiant of the well known attitude of tho
United States toward foreign intervention
for England to impose such damages as
sho chooses for what she alone assumes
to have been an offcnse and then to
land her marines on American soil with
no immediate prospect Of their being
withdrawn. 1t does not appear that this
government has made ever so feeble pro
aragua be given three days of grace, a
request entirely reasonable, seems to have
been snecred at by John Bull. If he be
within the limits of international license
in this controversy he has again shown
himself the bully. There is a feeling that
we cannot afford to be ombroilcd with Eng
land by every little Saucy central Anerl-
can republic, which when it hasn't rovo-
luton on its hands is daring some great
power to quarrel This feeling arises
chiefly from the selfish desire to avoid
trouble but it is good to temper rashncss.
1t should not, however, blind us to the
fact that England has not been willing to
submit this question to arbitration, to
grant days of grace, to do anything in fact
short of her own arrogant will; that she
is defying the sentiment of the country,
that she is doing that which affords pre-
text for war and what she would not dare
to undertake unless she appreciated that
we are willing to submit to very much
rather than quarrel.

The report that the United States min
lister to Japan is doing all in his power to
induce Japan to comply with the demands
of Russia and France should be taken
cum grano sails. Such an attitude of in
reference is contrary to the policy Of the
United States with reference to nations in
the eastern hemisphere. Aside from this
broad principle, from which the present
administration least of any is likely to
deviate, unless doomed to its fatuous
laundering, an example of which was
afforded by Gresham's communication to
Japan at the beginning Of the Oriental
war, there are reasons why Uncle Sam
should keep his hands off. Naturally the
United States will have sentiment of
friendlincss for Russia and Franco. We
