Capt A. j. Beardsley of Bridgeport is
again seen here, this summer, with his
horses, carriage and commodious wagons.
By the young people he often transports
over our roads we conclude he is an ar
dent lover of young people and surely
those who enjoy his favor must feel
privilege is theirs. His home here as
previous, is located at Frederick NJ.

Henry House of Hartford has had
good success in this vicinity, recently, as
subscription agent for the Connecticut
Quarterly, whose Office is at Hartford.
On Friday and Saturday of last week he
reports the sale of 26 copies in New Mil
ford village and that NEARLY all of the
same were sold, through or by the publi-
cation of an article in No. of the
Quarterly for this year, written by our
esteemed neighbor and townsman, NJ. E.
Cable, whose productions in other
periodicals (locaD have been eagerly
read for years, especially those in the
"Litchfield Enquirer" under the nom de
plume of "Pen Dragon" Mr. House ex-
presses himself as astonished that Mr.
Gable has remained so long out of much
more extended journalistic work. which
he has had several. opportunities to enter.
and instead has confined himself closely
for Is years to the duties of clerk in
country store. This article mentioned
in the Quarterly, contributed by him, is
q briet historical and somewhat bio
graphical description of this village and
some of it's inhabitants and past visitors,
dating back in the last mentioned to Gen
George Washington, who dined here, and
Gen Putnam, who slept or danced here in
colonial days; also mentioning Horace
Bushnell, d. D., whose boyhood was
passed here and President Day of Yale
college, whose early home was.on New
Preston Hill. The article being well
illustrated, from views taken by N. D.
Benedict of Litchfeld. We feel Justly
proud to have this village so honorably
mentioned and shown and glad that
writer at home has been found who can
give the subject or village so honorable
mention and best of all, that he is so APP
preciated that the sale Of this worthy
Quarterly has been 80 materially in
creased by Mr. Cables production. For
his sake we hope it viii be an incentive
20 more Increased labor IN this respect,
which we believe would surely, IL tried,
bring to him much more world wide
fame. Mr. House is most pleasant
gentleman to meet. We recommend him
TO all towns desiring the Introduction OF
a goodRC cticut magazine. So wei
pleased was he with the cordially shown
him by the people heIe and by the hos
pitality enjoyed st A. e. Pixley's, last
week, that he had his wife join him on
Saturday evening and she remained here

Silver has gone down again, and the
silver dollar is not worth more than forty
eight cents. That means decline of ten
per cent since the campaign of 1896 opened,
for then it was valued at about fifty-three
cents. The Bryan fifty-three cent dollar
has become forty eight cent dollar. Mean
while wheat has refused to slump. 1t has
advanced decidedly. Wool has risen. So
has leather. Pork and lard are higher.
Rice has advanced little. Cotton Is not
down like silver. Copper and lead have
gone up, so have many other articles of
merchandise. Even whiskey has just been
advanced notch by the distillers. In the
face of these facts the popocrats and pOpu-
lists In congress continue 10 assert that the
only way to make business and industry
flourish L. to recognize the supreme influ-
ence of silver as factor in the markets and
the possibilities of trade. They have given
up the old claim that there could be no ad.
vance In prices without corresponding rise
in silver, but they still cling to the delusion
that silver in some way regulates the world.

the plain meaning of business facts, too big

WASTING TIME AND MONEY.
Rep. Shepard Believes the Legislature
Should Cease Doing So.

Should Cease Doing So.
Rep. F. M. Shepard sees the uselessness
of long and weary sessions of the legislature
and desires TO bring the present session to a
close as soon as possible. He expressed the
sentiment of the best members of the house
In the resolution which follows and which
was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, There has never been time
in the history Of the state when the business
interests of the people were so depressed as
at present, or when the people of the state
felt SO keenly the burdens imposed upon
them; and
Whereas, The expenses of the present
legislature will reach an average of about
5000 per day.
Resolved, That it is the sense Of this
house that the more important legislation of
the session be brought forward and disposed
of as rapidly as possible. In order that an
early adjournment may be reached, and the
burden of taxation removed as far as posi-
BILE.
Rep. Shepard should continue his effort
In this direction and we hope he will be sue
cessful. The same dallying applies to all
bodies of this kind and the board Of super
visOrs might take hint and in their COM
mittees report on the matters brought before
them get things in such shape that prompt
action may be taken and much expense
saved.

AN IMPORTANT OPINION.
Handed Down by the Supreme Court on
Bonds of Saloon Men.

The justices of the supreme court materi-
ally disagreed in deciding an important
liquor case. The prevailing opinion was
written by Justice Hooker and signed by
Justices Moore and Grant. Justices Long
and Montgomery united in a dissenting
opinion.
Some time ago Fred Saunders, of Grand
Rapids, was arrested at the instance of the
Citizens League for selling liquor without
having legal bond, it being shown that one
of his sureties was also on several other
liquor bonds. Judge Burlingame, of the
superior court, quashed the information be-
cause the bond had been approved by the
common council, and then the prosecuting
attorney applied to the supreme court for a
writ of mandamus to compel the circuit
judge to set aside his order and renstate
the case.
The question presented was whether a
bond approved by common council of a
city or village was in all cases protection,
or whether the party giving the bonds must
In all cases see to it at his peril that the
Z bondsmen have the qualifications fixed by
statute.
In the prevailing opinion, written by JUS
tice Hooker, the majority hold that 1t was
the intention of the Legislature to make the
execution and delivery of the prescribed
bond condition precedent to sale, and to
require the person desiring to engage In the
business to assume the responsibility of
knowing that the bond, when presented to
the council, complied in all essential par
ticulars to the law, the sufflciency of the
bond as to the amount and the responsible
ty of the sureties only to be determined by

The amended Fruit Law.

The fruit growing interests OF Michigan
are yearly becoming more hampered through
the increase of fungi and insects. Recog'
nizing the fact that concerted action against
fruit pests is the only certain means of es-
cape, our legislature has amended the Mich
igan fruit laws, making 1.-THE duty Of every
farmer and fruit grower to effectively spray
their orchards and small fruits in case any
of the numerous fruit pests are present.
Since few orchards, II any, are exempt from
injurious fungi, to say nothing OF insects, II
looks as IL we must all fight for our fruit
trees or run the risk of having 1t done for us
at no slight expense.
The amendment provides for the appoint
ment of three commissioners upon the ap-
plcation of ten free holders in any town
ship, said commissioners to thoroughly in
vestigate and to be held responsible for the
destruction of the pests iniesting orchards
within their domain.
If this law is enforced, as the legislature
evidently intends, it means that every per-
son owning or in charge of an orchard must
thoroughly acquaint himself with the busi-
ness end of the spraying pump.

Another FURRY in Wheat.

New York, April 21.-There was an

continued as the day before. Because
of disappointing set Of foreign advices
and a smaller decline in consols than
expected, there was a big lot Of wheat
for sale at the opening. Prices at once
crumbled away, and first sales were
made on the basis of 1917 to 1915 cents
for May against SIX cents Monday
night at the close. The selling came
from both foreign and local sources, but
soon exhausted itself and prices rallied

to relnstate the case, and Saunders must

Justice Montgomery. in his dissenting
opinion, says that the question IS whether
one who in good faith tenders bond in
proper form, and who after having such
bond approved by the common council, en-
cages In selling liquor, Is liable to criminal
prosecution. He thinks not. The consti-
nationality of the law prohibiting the ac'
ceptance of the same surety on more than
two bonds is upheld.

The annual report of the Grand Trunk
lines in Michigan submitted to the stock
holders at Chicago last week, shows deficit
of $435, IT'S, after charging off interest. The
Grand Trunk company of Canada pays the
deficit, by virtue of its obligations under a
tariff agreement. Gross receipts for the
year increased $355,5S2 and net earnings
$17S, sS6. Compared to the year 1895 the
working expenses were 91.33 per cent.
against 96.45 per cent. Passenger earnings
during the period covered by the report de-
creased SAT, 124, or about 5 per cent, the de-
crease being attributed to the falling OIL In
suburban business out of Chicago, and be-
ing occasioned by the competition of the
electric surface lines. Freight earnings,
however, increased $402, 1888.
