FAIR PLAY. GENTE EMEN! !

| It doth not yet appear just what there l is in the curious attempt to deprive Judge Cable of the place and the honor which he has fairly won, but whatever there is in it 1t does not have the ap-
 proval of fair-minded men in New Ha- ven, and it will not have the approval of fair-minded men in Hartford, if it is pressed there. When, after such a
 long and warm contest as that which
 preceded the New Haven county caucus
 a man gets a nomination his troubles
 ought to be- and usually are, over It
 may well be presumed that he has had
 the full benefit of all the fair opposi-
 ton and all the foul attack that can
 be brought against him. In this case
 Judge Cable was vigorously and vic
 the first ballot he received nineteen out
 of the twenty-four votes cast. The out come was very pleasing to the many
 here and in other parts of the State who know Judge Cables fitness for the place for which he was nominat ted. His long experience and good repute as law yer, his fine record as a wise and hu- mane judge of the City court, his excel lent work as a substitute judge in the Court of Common Pleas, his untarnish- ed standing as man, and his useful ness as citizen are all so well known that his nomination for judge of the Court of Common Pleas was welcomed as just recognition of merit and char acter.
 We cannot believe that members of the legislature, who have the title Honorable" will notice any beated and plainly selfish attack that may be made upon Judge Cable. We hope that if any such attack is contemplated it will be abandoned in the inter- ests of fair play and the decent treat ment to which man who has fought good fight against great odds and won is entitled. We are aware that the Golden Rule isn't in as high favor now adays as it might be, but it should be respected enough to forbid any such as that which has been said to be on foot against Judge Cable.

in their own interest. Some cargoes Of Russian sugar are now afloat and on the way to the United States, where at least one is due to arrive in the next ten days. It is not doubted that the consignees in the United States, rather than pay the countervailing duty, which would make it impossible to com pete with other sugar, will make up a test case. If the decision favors the Russian side the obnoxious decree will be amended, although it is not denied that the Russian government feels of- tended.
 Perhaps, after all, we are not going to own the earth right away. Of course those who object to our antics don't know what Is good for themselves, but some people are made to be stupid.

ENCOURAGING TO BOTS,

r Many pleasing and instructive stories have been and are told for the inspira- ton and the guidance of the young. We
 used to hear about the boy who walked into a store to get job, picked up a
 pin that he noticed lying on the floor,
 got the job because the boss saw him
 pick up the pin, and soon owned the store. This story is not as encouraging as 1t used to be. The stores that an
 ambitious boy would want to own are
 so big that the boss might not see the
 boy picking up the pin, and there. is
 such a lack of faith in human nature
 nowadays that if the boss should see the boy picking up pin he might think the boy was stealing, and hand him over to the store detective. But there are other things that can be done. For instance 1t is related that one day young chap applied to the late MT. Ar mour for clerkship Well, sir" said the great and busy man, ''how little do you want for your services? You must understand that times are hard. We are killing only s,Oo0,OOo hogs and 5,O0o,- 900 beeyes year" The youngster thought it over, then said: MT. Ar mour, l wouldn't be here if I didn't know times are hard, and I'll be easy on you. I'll set in at $1O week if you'll agree to increase my wages $1 for every 100000 beeves that you don't kill under 5,000,0OO and $1 for every 100000 hogs you don't kill under 5000, ,0O0" With his little, shrewd eyes Mir. Armour look ed clear through him, then said abrupt ly: "As a rule I dislike precocious youngsters. They don't last. But I'll let you start in at $25 week without conditions. do it too with some fear that in a few years you will own the business
 Young men who want to get ahead can initiate this chap if they want to. They will either get job or get thrown out.

The Yalue of PrnDeIfY

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier: An editorial in Fridays Register pro- nounces absurd the bill for relief against excessive assessments, which has been unanimously approved by the Chamber of Commerce. This is a source of grief to the Chamber of Com merce, but it is to some extent allevi- ated by the fact that the statutes of the State of Connecticut and the Su- perior and Supreme courts of the State share this severe condemnation. The Register says: "The offer to self property is no guarantee whatever of it's value for assessment purposes. There is no such life in the real estate market in New Haven, or for that matter any where else, as to justify for a moment the assessors taking it's transactions as a basis for their valuations"
 The statutes say otherwise. Section 3S27 of the General Statutes provides that real estate shall be set in the list at its present true and actual valuation" Section 3831 is as follows: "The pres ent true and just value of any estate shall be deemed by all assessors and boards Of relief to be the true market value thereof, and not it's value at forced or auction sale.''
 The first case in which the Superior court gave any relief was precisely up- on the evidence which the Register pro- nounces worthless. The reduction was made on the Dr.. Toof property on the evidence of twenty-one witnesses, who testified to the present true and just value of the property, as shown by &C., tual sales in the vicinity The expert testimony which had ruled in previous cases did not weigh against the evil dence of actual sales, showing that the Chamber of Commerce may have the relief of the companionship of the Stat utes, and of the Superior court in the

4 GENTLE REMIND FIR.

l We the people of the United States
 have been feeling pretty big lately and flying pretty high, but the solemnizing fact that there are others is brought
 to our attention by the action of the
 Russian government in Issuing a decree imposing increased duties on certain
 American imports into Russia. The
 decree is issued in retaliation for Sec-
 retary Cages order imposing counter.
 vailing duty of 32 cents on each pood
 (about thirty-siX pounds), of Russian
 bounty paid sugar imported into the
 United States, and it is believed that a grave crisis has been reached in trade relations between the United States and Russia. The immediate effect of the Russian decree, when it becomes operative on March 1, will be to in- crease by 50 per cent. the duties on American steel and iron goods. These goods already enjoy two separate re- ductions, 80 per cent. being taken off from the general and 20 per cent. from the conventional duties. The articles referred to in the Russian decree are machinery and tools of every kind, manufactures and products of cast iron and steel The addition of 50 per cent. to the duty will, it is thought, prove practically prohibitory.
 sian government will not concern itself with a test case or await the issue of such a case. There is, however, an ex- pectation that the American importers of Russian sugar will make the fight l

The old Meeting House.

Through magic I behold The meeting house. structure 0id, Well streaked with weather stains al
 mold,
 Despite it's guard of frs; While just beyond the rustic mill Stretched wide Il rugged, briery hill, Alive with warbles, song and trill
 Of rival worshlppers. Though varied pastimes lured the boy A season, each to pail and cloy, It was a more abiding joy
 When dawned the morning fair That ushered i'll day of rest To don his suit of Sunday best And drive with eager, youthful zest
 Unto the house of prayer. There country folk in groups and bands From hillside farms and valley lands Stood round and joined in shaking hands,
 And common aims revieWed; There neighhor greeted neighbor fair; The humblest brother had a share. None wounded him with naughty stare,
 Or sautation rude. Ere invocation down they file Through vestibule and narrow aisle, Their garments mirroring every style
 Seen there for many q year; The sexes part, each take their way Alone; the unconverted say That sheep and goats on Sabbath day
 Are SepdTdteu ueEe. Then music! bass and tenor beat The time with heavy humping feet To strains that sounded wondrous sweet
 When set to solemn rhymes; Again 1 hear the viol's chord; Again, Forever with the Lord; And Boylston that 1 so ahhorred
 Ring out like belfry chimes. The sermon follows, more of good And doctrine than we understood, Yet strangely fancied mental food
 Was better served too strong For our digestion; with Zest We listened, pondered, nor confessed That simple homilles were best,
 And liked them rather long. There men with eager interest heard The wise persuasion, threatening word, Of lofty faith and creed absurd,
 With broad or narrow scope; The Wesleyan's exhortation wild, Stern Calvinism undefled, And Murray's theologics mild
 Of universal hope. Around the spot what memories throng Of earnest prayer and discourse long And soul-upliftlng sacred song;
 And many a dream In sooth And cherished hope would forego To hear once more their accents flow And feel the gospels fervent glow
 In words of burning truth. IN. Albert Sherman i'll Springfield Republi cln

MORTUARY.
oDIE EDMIsToN.

The subject of this short sketch was
born in Decatur county, Iowa, Sept. 10.
1876, died at Atchison, Kan, Jan. IS,
1901, aged % years, months and Is
days.
His father, James IL. Edmiston, de-
ceased. was a soldier in Co. l, 34th Iowa
Infantry and died May 8, 1879. He
was married to Ellen E. Huff in this
county on Sept. 80, 1868, and to this
union only two of the children born
lived to years of maturity. Now, only
the elder brother, Fred Edmiston, Of
Omaha, is left with the mother to mourn
the late deceased. The mother lived in
widowdood until her marriage to G. w.
Beck, OF Leon, on Nov. "a, 1892.
Ode lEdmiston, Familiarity called
Clutch" by his many friends, was one
OF the most popular young men in Leon
and was highly esteemed as an honest
and industrious young man. Especially
was he admired for his affectionate dis
position and love for bis lnother, for
whom since he was small hoy, he had
labored untiring to make lRr happy.
His mothers comfort was his constant
aim, and none but the loving mother
knows how we'll he performed that duty
For several years he has been employ
ed in the cigar factory in this city, and
when the McClelland Cigar Co., moved
their factory to Atchison, kas., last De
cember, he went with them, being one
of their best workmen. For about q
year his health had not been good, vel
he was not thought to be seriously i'll
and only last Thursday he wrote very
cheerful letter to his mother, in which
he said he was feeling much better since
going to Atchison. Friday he worked
all day and until seven O'Clock in the
evening. Saturday morning he told his
room mate that he had bad headache
and would stay in bed awhile. At noon
/; the boys went up to see him and he
said he was feeling better. About hall
past one his landlord came down to the
cigar factory and said he was in con
vulsion. The best physicians in Atchi.
I son were summoned at once and he wat
given every attention and care. Wher
the physicians reached him he was un
conscious and remained in that condi
ton until his death at 8 O'Clock the same
evening.
His remains we're brought to this city
Sunday afternoon, being met at the de
pot by the members of the K. p. lodge
of which he was an honored member.

O'Clock, short services being conducted
by Rev. Ilsley, pastor of the Presbyter
ian church, after which the knights Of
Pythias took charge of the ceremonies
and he was laid to rest in the beautiful
Leon cemetery with Knightly honors.

of the entire community in their be-
reaVelnent.
