The HenatOrship.

The NEWS is not political paper but having recently received a number of marked copies of state journals whoop- ing up the qualifications of the Hon. Morgan G. Bulkeley and the Hop. Samuel Fessenden as rival candidates for U. s. Senator from Connecticut it feels called upon to express it's senti- ments as follows: The NEWS has not a word to say against the Hon. Morgan G. Bulkeley, or against the Hon. Sam uel Fessenden. Either of these gentle men could fill the position accepta bly iu ordinary times But now the times are extraordinary and call for the ser vices of man of long experience in the U. s. Senate. and that man is Senator Hawlsy. For many years Senator Flaw ley has labored diligently in season and ont of season to have the United States army and navy properly equipped for any emergency that might arise. Had his wise counsel been needed in all probability the Spanish-American war would not have occurred, or at least much of it's hardships and extraordinary expense would have been avoided.

Two Pointed question. Answered.

What is the use of making better ar- ticle than your competitor if you can not get better price for 1t?
 Ans.-As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the bet ter. so that while our profits may be smaller on a single sale they will be much greater ip the aggregate.
 How can you get the public to know your make is the best.
 If both articles are brought promi- nently before the public both are cer- tain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgement on them and use only the better one.

credit to the nation. His work is not finished, and it should not be transfer ed to an inexperienced man just because his position is coveted.

He is in touch with the administration and his counsel and influence are needed not only on the subject of national de- fense but in regard to the many prob lems which now confront the nation in consequence of the recent war. The man who best serves his country best serves his party.
