SoRRY FOB HARrEoRD.

We are sorry for the people of Hart
 ford. Not, at this time, because they
 are obliged to live in Hartford with fat
 muskrats and fresh water clans, but
 because the beastly and the bloody and ] the blasted and the English weather
 we have been having has deprived them
 of a sight which would have cheered
 their Hartford hearts and given them
 something to think about besides their fat muskrats and futile clans. The
 good people of New Haven had prepar- 1 ed a glorious surprise for them. We expected to send our new Foot Guards up there yesterday in all their splendor. We will not dwell upon what the phrase
 ''all their spIendor" means. It cannot be coldly explained in unfeeling type
 Only the seeing eye and the apprecia- tive mind used together can realize it. But the original plan was for the Guards to go to Hartford encased in that uni form which has won illimitable distinc- tion for them on every field on which they have appeared. This uniform is impressive. lustrous and fitting throughout. but it's chief glory is that it shows to the pleased and amazed eye legs which, considered either in single pairs or in serried ranks, have no equal in any military company now fighting or parading anywhere, China and Japan not barred. Those legS have been seen in New Haven. They have been seen in New Jersey. We had fondly hoped that they would be seen in Hartford yesterday, and we know that if they had been there would be no more talk by the Hartford Courant about the al- legged and imagined glories of Hartford The splendor of those legs would have forever silenced those who have stood boastfully up for Hartford on legs that compare with the legs of the New Ha- ven Foot Guards as do the muskrat- fattening mussels of the dirty Connecti- cut with the genius-giving oysters of the fair Quinnipiac.
 We do not wonder that the Hartford populace fervently applauded our Foot Guards, attired as they were. They are magnificent and inspiring in any clothes. But had the day been what a eIaIJ T l, been, and had our Foot Guards moved their artistic legs along the streets of Hartford as they can move them, there would have been scenes such as the city of fresh-water clans and fat musk rats has never beheld. There was a big time in the sole capital yesterday, but that which was not there Is more than that which was there.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1895-01-10

reaches you. It is not because the Chi nese soldiers can't fight, but because they won't, owing to the cruel treat ment of their officers, who have eInbez- zled the pay of their men for months past, thus leaving their troops abso- lutely penniless to buy food for them selves. The Japanese deserve the Vic- tory for the great strides they have made in civilization the past thirty years. Not only do they not torture and massacre the Chinese prisoners, but said Chinese soldiers are astonish- ed at receiving nice warm bath for once, and suit of clean clothes from their captors, in whose care they are growing so fat on good food and plenty of it that they will soon be unfit for further fighting. For such humane con duct, standing out in such pronounced relief against the black page of all Asi- atic warfare, say Japan deserves the victory, and should like to see her win it, although my sympathies are natu- rally with China"

A Unique WorlS-Bag.

An odd little work-bag is made of a Japanese crepe picture, and although the material is paper, it is stout and strong, and will last for years.
 The handsomest of these pictures are twenty-two inches long by ten deep, and one and half of this size will be required for the bag. Smaller ones, however, if the former are unobtaina- ble, may be sewed together to make a strip thirty-two or thirty-three inches long; but care must be taken to have them harmonize in coloring, otherwise the effect will be bad. Trim off a. por- ton top and bottom, in all about two inches; join them and line with cardi- India silk, sewing the silk and picture together at the bottom with 8 seam on the wrong side.
 The silk should be cut eleven and a half inches deep, and this extra depth over on the right side to form heading of about two and a half inches. The entire depth of the bag when finished should be nine inch es. Cut circular piece of cardboard fifteen inches in circumference, and cover on both sides neatly with the silk.

INFORM.ATT

Those who expected a "great" mes-
 sage from the new governor of Connec-
 ticut will be disappointed. It is great
 only in length. It's greatness in that
 respect is almost equal to the great
 ness of the recent message from Presi-
 dent Cleveland. But if the new gover-
 nor minds the whole constitution as
 faithfully as he has that part of 1t
 which directs him to give the General Assembly Information of the state of the government" all will be we'll. There is a pile of information" in the mes sage.
 We gather from that part of the message which is not strictly "informa- tion" about the state of the govern ment that the new governor favors safe investment of the money of the people and of the school fund; protec- tion of the insurance interests of the State; prohibition of crossing at grade by electric and steam roads; the new medical practice act; prosperity of la- Dor; military training in the common schools; good roads; honest, secret and machine voting; fixing the number and cost of liquor licenses by law; power to make "the most natural kind of 8 trust by will" reports from all the depart- ments of the State government at fixed date; investigations and a glori- ous example of legislative wisdom and purity; firm and decisive action concern ing the lobby by the legislature; and such a discharge of duties by the gov ernor and the legislature as to set an example of integrity in purpose and fidelity in action, which shall bring lasting benefits to the State, and be source of just pride to us and to those who may follow us, through all the years of the future"
 So the new governor starts off safely l He has given great deal of informa- ton in his message and said nothing | that is dangerous to the peace of the people.
