LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Free Scholarships.

Exh Ht TIce ScnOidrsnipSs
 Editor of Nesos:
 In the interest of the spirit of inde- pendence which characterized our an- csstors, especially our New England ancestors, I should like to correct-if possible-lest others share their views, the evident opinion of two correspond ents of the IIakeville Journal as to the desirability of promiscuous free schol- srships.
 Free scholarships are charity, and educators SO thoroughly recognize this fact, that to do away, as much as possi- ble, with the odium that is attached to them, some of our large colleges and schools. where scholarships are bestow- cd, give them only in competitive ex- animation. and scholarship thus ob- tained is only retained by great dili- gence and superior attainments..
 The fact that . free scholarship, as usually bestowed, is charity is so vel l understood that every scholar should know before he accepts one that with it he must accept an inferior place in the minds of his fellow students. No one as rule accepts the scholarships on- ly as they accept old clothes, because they cannot afford new ones and feel they must have clothes. The founder of the Hotchkiss School we'll under stood this fact, and she did not desire to psuperixe; but realizing that there are students who must accept free scholarship or go withouta High School education, especially in these small towns. she gave limited number of scholarships, relying for her aid to boys of moderate means upon the fact that a school we'll endowed could afford to ask only small tuition fee.
 Upon the statement of MT Sanford. Hotchkiss '95". rely when I say that about one-tenth of the Hotchkiss school boys are poor; few of moderate means can afford to send the re,so, I repeat "as . philanthropy the Hotchkiss school is fsilure."
 It is we'll known fact, to those con- versant with the subject, that Mrs Hotchkiss' wishes have been so disre- garded that, although trustee, che has not always received due notice of the Trustees meetings, and that now she refuses to have anything to do with the school. PRO BoNo PUBLIco.

Tho Democrats of the towns of Ca naAn and North Canaan have done a courteous and sensible act in nominat- ing Judge D. 0. Whittlesey for probate judge. Judge Whittlesey is Republi- can but the office is not, or should not be. in the vortex of partisan politics The Republicans of Woodbury have nominated Judge James Huntington. a Democrat, and the Hartford Courant commenting on that action says:
 Soon or late all the property of the district will pass through the probate office. A judge there, who is familiar with the law. who is uniformly just and courteous, who is known and trusted by the people, belongs where he is; and il is no concern of the widows and or phans, whom he is to care for, whal party he belongs to.

pThe following paragraph from the Amenia Times may be pointer for us who have SO much trouble to solve the street lighting problem. Amenia is about the size of our town.
 It is with pleasure that we make the announcement that the streets of this village will in all probability bs lighted by acetylene gas this winter. public plant being put in Amenia for that pur- pose. As our people now have some idea as to the wonderful Illuminating povar of this light and of it's cost and maintenance, we doubt not but that 1t will be an improvement that will be greatly appreciated. There is no req son why many stores and dwellings will not in the future use scetylene, and 1t can be reasonably expected that many villages will follow suit and have their streets lit up by that agency.

The House of Deputies of the Episco- pal church convened at Washington last

The House of Deputies of the Episco- pal church convened at Washington last week defeated, by vote of 34 to 31. Bishop Potter's amendment sanctioning the remarriage of the innocent party to . divorce. The canon which remains unchanged prescribes that no minister ofths Episcopal church shall solemnize the marriage of either party to divorce during the lifetime of the other. The question was earnestly debated and the closeness of the vote denotes consider able division of opinion. We wonder if the minority. because they were mi nority of three, now. think it wrong for the innocent party to divorce to remarry Of course they will refuse to perform such ceremonies on canonical grounds.
