STAND BY THE CAUCUS NOMINEES.

WE understand there is to be an independent
peoples ticket placed the official ballot for the
April election, containing three names for members
Of the council This ticket was gotten up by petit
tion, on which appeared the names of many who
participated in the regular held last Wednes
day evening, and who are honorably bound to stand
by the nominees But it seems that they came to
the caucus with the intention of defeating the re-
nomination Of the old members of the council and
fnding themselves out-voted by large majority
they took this method of guerilla warfare to succeed
where they could not in open caucus We are at a
loss to understand why there should be any opposi
ton whatever to the members of the council who
candidates for reelection. 1t is the first time,
and under ordinary circumstances they would be
entitled to their Endorsement But there are special
reasons why the three members, whose term expires
this spring, should be endorsed. During the last
eighteen months they have devoted more than one
hundred days and nights extra time in connection
with the putting in Of the electric light and water
works, without receiving a single cent of pay for
their services. Two of the three members, whose
time expires, were a special committee appointed
by the council after Its construction and every cit
izen of Wellington knows the result of their labors.
We have of the finest systems in the state, and
none can show as much for the money, and in fact
II could not be duplicated today for $4,000 more
than it cost In view of all these facts it seems to
us that there ought not to have been particle OF
opposition to their nomination and election, and
have faith to believe that the general public appre-
ciate the service of such faithful officers, and will
see that they are reelected by such an overwhem-
ing majority that it will serve as a rebuke to such
methods, and put an end to such tactics in the
future. Let every lover of right and justice go tc
polls election day and cast his vote for the cit
zen's ticket as nominated at the caucus.

lsTHMlAN CANAL.

ONE of the many important questions which occu-
pied the time of the Fifty-ffth Congress, which
adjourned, sine die, on March 4th, was that of an
isthmian canal
1t is generally conceded that access to our west
ern seabord by shorter route than by doubling
Cape Horn, is from almost every point of view
highly desirable.
To accomplish this end, numerous plans have
been laid and numerous contracts have been enter
ed into by one government or another for many
years.
Millions of dollars have been expended in the
attempt thus far futile, to accomplish the desired
result of connecting the two great oceans by a
waterway. Two routes have been suggested and
surveyed, viz, the Panama and the Nicaragua, "
the former of which has been begun and about one
third completed.
! The Scientific American of recent date gives a
very lengthy and instructive article on the COM
parave merits and feasibility of these two routes
which we consider so interesting to the general
reader that we venture to give an epitome of some
of its most interesting passages
Length-Panama route, 46 miles,
Nicaragua &C 170
Time of Transit-Panama Route, Is hours.
Nicaragua As
Estimated Cost-Panama $102, ,000,0 600.
Nicaragua $50, ,OOO, 900.
1t is urged in favor of the Nicaragua route that
it is shorter by BIS miles than the Panama route,
but this advantage to be fully offset by the
fact that 80 hours time is gained by taking the
shorter canal.
Our readers can figure this out for themselves il
they wish, but as for us, we prefer the Panama
route as being the more desirable, feasible and
practical of the two.

THE pARsoN SURPRISED.
NorwaIk Meihodists Surprise Their Pastor
Mr.. and Mrs. f. I. Hagerman.

Norwalk MethOdists never have felt
more at home at their church manse
than since its occupancy by Rev. and
Mrs. Hagerman, the present popular
pastor and wife. and on several Occas-
ions this fact has had clear dem0nstra-
tiOn.
One of those home comings Of mem
bers Of the congregation took place on
Monday evening, March l3, it being the
eighteenth anniversary of the marriage
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Hagerman. 1t was a
complete surprise, hastily planned, but
the latch.strlng was out and the pastor.
called from his study, the good wife
from her anniversary letter-writing and
the children from an evening with table
crOquet, gave the visitors cordial hearty
welcome so characteristic Of this home.
FOrmalities were laid aside and the
hours at the parsonage passed only too
rapidly in delightful social inter
course Of pastor and people.
These unheralded callers had not for
gotten well-filled baskets. Abundant
was the provision in this particular and
the repast enjoyed late in the evening
was just such as you could expect from
the Ladies Aid" 50 famous for good
work in this church.
The kodak was there also, and grouped
in the cOzy parlOr all had their pictures
took"
Very few churches are blessed with a
pastor and family who enjoy in as large
measure the undivided love and esteem
Of those who compose the church and
congregation as in the case with Mr.. and
Mrs. Hagerman. This was evidenced
last night not only by the thoughtful
ness which prompted this house-warm-
ing, but also by the gift of magni6-
cent set Of solid silver spoons, which
was presented on behalf of the donors
by Hon. L. G. Laylin. This presenta-
ton and the expressions of pastor and
wife in response to it showed most clear
lily the cordial relations existing between
pastor and people, and mark the secret
Of the present successful administration
Of the affairs of this large church.-Nor-
walk Chronicle.

SCHOOL NOTES.
oonduolea by R. q. KINNIsoN.

How quickly the terms OF school come
to an end. Teachers and pupils will be
busy again next week with examinations
over the terms work, and then comes
the spring vacation, one whole week Of
recreation, OF romp and fun for the boys
and girls. Despite the great amount of
temporary absence by the vaccination,
the pupils have mostly been present for
the term reviews and their work bids
fair to show good results. We trust the
parents have lately observed what is
apparent to the teachers at term exam
nations and that is worry and nervous
ness on the part Of the pupils.
This freer and pleasanter examina-
tion is largely due, we think, to the
monthly written tests given the papils
in the various grades. These tests cover
two or three weeks work, last but an
hour, are not counted as examinations,
but as written recitatiOns. They are
graded, however, and the papers return.
ed to the pupils, and in this way they
become used to the written examination
work. They are thus gradually brought
up to the final examinations and &c
through them with less nervous stress
than formerly.
Many advocate doing away with term
examinations altogether, and yet in
many places where tests alone are used,
they have returned to the examination
plan as being best for the schools, and
still it remains an open question with
many able advocates for either view Of
the question.
Excellent results, as rule, follow
frequent reviews, and tests Of some kind
must be given for the assurance Of both
teachers and pupils as to thoroughness
OF the work
The spring term ofsleyeh weeks will
begin the Sthwf April

sum been greater and been left to the discretion in
