THE REPUBLICAN CONTENTION.
 The Republican State convention did Its work with enthusiasm, skill and good sense. The declaration concern ing money is plain and satisfactory. It has no wobble or straddle in it. "We are unalterably opposed to the issue of unsecured paper currency, either by the government or the banks, the free coinage of silver at any ratio, and fa- voc single standard of value. and that standard gold" That declaration is just what was needed and wanted, and it correctly represents the opinions of the Republicans of Connecticut. They are as sound as a dollar-and a gold dollar-on the money question.
 The delegates selected to go to the national convention are all men who are capable of seeing and thinking for themselves, and they will go unin- structed. This is entirely right. Any other course would have been a need less departure from custom that has been found to work we'll and might have seriously hampered the delegation in wise action. The delegates can now vote as they think best when they find out how the land lies. They can be depended on to do the best they can for their State and the country.
 The proceedings both before and dur ing the convention showed that the Re- publicans of Connecticut are very much alive and full of zeal They will do their share toward setting things right in this troubled and badly governed country.

COMMUNICATIONS.
A Ripple From Morris Cove.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER;
 There is strong undercurrent of feeling here at the Cove, and it is grow ing stronger every day, that all those who are so unfortunate as to have to dwell on the Cove side of Upson street, are being imposed upon, and in way that seems very much as if their pock- cts were being picked. There are evil dently more ways than one to pick pock- cts, and the Morris Cove electric road understands doing it in an honest way, although those whose pockets suffer cannot help feeling that though honest it is not just, that they are obliged to pay two fares to ride the short distance from the Cove to Tomlinson bridge, the Cove being not much more than a mile farther than from Upson street, where for five cents transfer is given to Westville or Whitneyville and other places to those who wish, and besides transfers are given for five cents from the green to Tomlinson bridge on the Morris Cove cars, but from the Cove two fares must be paid to the bridge or to the green.
 To say the least, it is ruffling. And strangers are not little astonished when they are scarcely settled after paying one fare before the conductor appears with hand outstrtched for another five cents. If there is one dauntless enough to rebel-well, they may walk if they choose.
 A gentleman remarked who is travel md h that the road is certainly a novelty for there is nothing like it in all this coun- try. It is to be hoped that good time will soon come when justice and equity will be shown to the dwellers of Morris Cove.

Nobility Land bank, exceeding $25O,- GOO, 1000, created by the government for the express purpose of making money advances to landlords, but little has been paid back, and but little improve ment has been made in the cultivation of estates, It is asserted by those well acquainted with provincial life that the millions advanced to the noble land lord class have not been expended on the Improvement of their estates, but on amusement, luxury, travels, pay ments of old debts and unprohtable en- terprises,
 It is possible to be noble in mind and heart without money, but it is not pos sible to keep up the Russian nobility without great deal of money. That mobility without an estate is as ridic" ulous as gold lace on a frieze coat"

observation we have come to the con clusion that 90 per cent. Of the big men of the department cannot stand the work as well as the smaller men," An other reason for the change, in which there is tribute to the salubrity of the country and it's effect on physical growth, is that the lifting of the stand ard crowded out the city-bred men, and gave the preference to the strapping lads from the ploughed fields. These latter, however, from their inexperir ence in city ways, made inferior police men.

NEEDED LEGISLA TION.

The prevalence of the bicycle has al- ready led to much legislation concern ing the rights and wrongs of the wheel, and there will be much more before it's legal status is finally settled. A bill that seems likely to become law in the Rhode Island legislature is aimed at practice that is altogether too common. It provides that any person who shall knowingly throw in or upon any highway any tacks, nails, wire. scrap metal, glass, crockery or other substances injurious to the tires or wheels of bicycles shall be fined not ex- ceeding $20 or be imprisoned not ex- ceeding three months.
 Such law as this is needed wherever bicycles are used. There is great deal of carelessness about putting things that will hurt bicycle tire in the road, and there Is also not a little malice. There are some people who are mean enough to enjoy the thought that the tacks or glass they put in a bicycle track win let the air out of the tires and cause riders trouble and expense. Such people ought to be severely pun ished wherever they are found, and the careless ones ought to be reminded that 1t is their duty to be careful of the rights and the property of others. It ought to be as much against the law to throw in or upon any highway any, thing that is likely to- damage bicy- cle tire as it is against good manners and good will.

There are as bad people in Boston as in New Haven. At meeting of the Boston Paint and Oil club the other evening a speaker had the temerity to say that the sacred Common ought to be cut up by thoroughf2re. The Common" he said, lis worshipped re- vered and hysterically bowed down be- fore. It is a marvellous exhibition of devotion to a sentiment. Every night pnd morning thousands of Boston peo- pie crawl through crowded Fremont street rather than walk upon the Com mon. We are burrowing under the streets to avoid touching the Common, and by that very process we have made it 6 common dumping ground and cov- cred it with slime and dirt. Who uses the Common to-day besides a few boys on the playground in summer and the sleeping tramps? Why should not Bos- ton use this great piece of land as one of it's grand avenues? Not drop less of rain or less sunshine would fall upon it if it were so used. Against such d course there is only hysterical and ill., founded sentiment"

Boy snowbaIls an Emperor.

The German emperor is very much
of an autocrat, but he has many kindly
as well as kingly traits. One day he
and the empress, while out sleigh
riding, came across three little boys
in the Thiergarten, who were so busy
snowballing as to overlook the imperial
couples approach. In consequence, one
of the snowballs hit the monarch on the
nose. ibid it hurt you, Herr Kaiser?'
asked the little culprit, in an anxious
tone. III so, you can hit me and call it
square" AT this the royal couple
laughed merrily, and, taking the boy s
address, the emperor next day sent him
a comical memento of the incident.
