Alexander Troup, proprietor of the New Haven Union was i'll town to-day to arrange for increasing the local cir culation of his paper.
 Last evening number of commer- cial travellers met at the Franklin house for the purpose of seeing what could be done toward getting the New York, New Haven and Hartford road to issue 500-mile mileage books in this state. At present the travelling men are unable to secure books of less than 1000 miles. It was stated that the company was prepared to grant the request provided the drummers should secure the cooperation of commercial men in this and neighboring states It was voted that R. H. Terrell of New York be delegated to endeayor to inter est commercial men in Hartford, Springfield and sother places in the mat ter.
 A horse belonging to the Grand Union Tea Go on Bank street ran away this morning and made things lively while passing through Exchange place. He collided with a delivery wagon owned by William Reither, the butcher, knocking off one of the meat mans wheels.and then crashed into cluster of teams near the Apothecafles Hall, striking one with such force that the driver was lifted from the seat and thrown out on the paving blocks. The animal was brought to bay when he had almost reached his masters store. The wagon and harness were some the worse for the racket, but the horse escaped without injury. The tea man was not in the vehicle when the horse started and in consequence he missed considerable excitement and avoided good shaking up.

AS every one knows, are a very deSlr- able headgear for Doth men and boys. You'll see men working in the shops wearing hats made of paper; that's very good idea. because they say It's protection for the hair, providing they are not bald headed Now if you can get a we'll made cap, just as light in weight as the paper ones and far more durable, and a great sight cheap CT. why not secure one? We are gly- ing a handsome, we'll made cap with each pound of our extra fine Coffee 20c per pound; that's reasonable, we're sure. We have half dozen different colors some of them very desirable for ball players Say we would be very much pleased to see the married machinists play game of baseball with the single fellows: in such a case we will furnish balls and bats ana each player on the winning side will be entitled to one of our well-made caps FREE; that's reasonable enough we're sure So it's up to the machin- fsts now. Well we have some sizes that will just tickle the youngsters, and fit them to perfection, too. There fore, if they go home and tell you they saw them in our window and also say they would like one to wear, for pity's sake get it for them for nothing, and you will not only make the boy happy but our Coffee will put the whole family in a state of joy and happiness.

Editor of The Times:
Sir,-Under the above caption. an ar
tIcle appeared in the Weekly Times of
February 9th, which has the right ring
to it. I copy the following paragraph
from the said article Real Democracy
means that the private citizen shall be
let alone in the exercise Of every right
which does not interfere with the same
right in another Further on he says.
This kind of Democracy needs he written
strong and plain in our new Constitution
so plain that the dulleSt may catch the
meaning, so strong that meddlers every
where may take warning. Whatever the
nation shall become, whatever other
Suites may do, let Virginia be the land
where the private citizen shall be let
alone in his 'inalienable" rights and if
necessary thereto. let presidents be
smashed and let parties be dissolved
To all of this say Amen. Amen.
And while this subject is under consid-
Grafton. I have thought it appropriate to
make a suggestion in line with the above
principles. The Constitution of the
United States guarantees to every citi-
zen religious freedom, the right to wor-
ship God according to every mans own
notion, which is called conscience. This
would entitle the Jews, Seventh-Day Adj
ventists and other denominations OF like
belief to worship on Saturday. the seventh
day. and allows them tthe privilege of

pie surely should not vote, or have any
hand in the government Of good citizens.
Should education, or what Is called edu-
cation, give one the right to vote! l
would say most positively no. Would
the stockholders in d big business give
their CLERK IL voice in their deliberations
because he wrote a good hand and was
good at figures?
Should the small farmer who owns and
cutivates the land, that pays most of
the taxes, have no say as to their dis
posal because his hand is too stiff to hold
the pen and he does not read the news
papers? No; l do not think that an
educational qualification would be just.
Nor do l think that military service
constitutes Il right to vote. In q govern
ment like OURS the soldier is the opposite
of the citizen. and while in service should
exercise none of the rights of citizenship.
If when he leaves the service he turns
his sword into reap-hook and acquires
property he becomes d citizen. IL he
relies the bounty of the Government
for his support he is, as any other pau
per, unworthy OF Il vote. The old sol
der has had too much influence, and

thirty years. AS to ex-Confederate SOL
diers, those who are worthy of the name
Will ask vote unless tey are eStitled
to it. Their sons have no more right
to vote than the sons of Julius Caesar,

have a vote while they remain in office.

rOssible-relegated to the voter, who would
be true citizen, we would have FEWER
politicians and more statesmen. And our
officers would have more time to devote
to their duties. l do not think that man

Injustice to good citizens to allow way
farcr who may be nothing more than
two-legged brute. who would sell his vote
for fifty cents to have equal say with
him in all public matters.
This other, though he does nothing TO
support the Government. it is in equal
enioyments of his personal rights, and
his equal before the law. and he can, If
he will. at any time settle down and
acquire full right of citizenship.

THE GRAND LODGE OF ELKS.
Strong Effort TO Be Made to Have the Next
Meeting Here

The question just now before the
Ways and Means Committee of the local
lodge of Elks is whether the Grand
Lodge will meet in this city in 1907 The
Richmond iLlks are going TO spare no
effort to get the body here and appeal TO
the citizens for support. Sald Well
known Elk yesterday:
The light made by the local lodge at
Atlantic City last year to have the Grand
Lodge to meet here in 1901, IS still fresh
in the minds Of the public. SO Well did
the Richmond delegates advertise our
city and its advantages, the EikS through
out the country are DESTROYS of coming
here, and it now remains for our citizens
to say whether they want them or not
