The state of Connecticut has about
the same system of town representa-
ton that exists in Vermont. There
as in this state, small town has an
equal vote in the house of represen-
tatives with the larg est, although in
no town is the population as insight
icant in point Of numbers as it is in
Baltimore, Somerset and several
other Vermont towns. A constitution
al amendment for a plan of repre-.
sentatiOn based in some degree upon
population came up for consideration
in the lower house of the Connecticut
legislature last week and was defeat.
ed by a vote 145 to 81. The Demo.
Gratis of the state have been advocat.
ing the reform, but when the test OF
their sincerity came the Democratic
representatives from small towns
were just as eager as Republican rep.
resentatives from similar communi.
ties to record their votes against the
scheme. Was not this action sign
of what will happen in the Vermont
house, should the question arise, az
it will some day, of providing an
equitable basis of representation
Small towns will not be willing to
lose their present power even If the
public interest demands that change
be made, and that one hundred vot.
ers or less in one town should not
have the same authority as two OF
three thousand in another. Land

Victor |. Spear, who has charge OF
the Vermont maple sugar exhibit at
Buffalo, writes that the exposition is
nearly two months late in getting
ready. Many of the exhibits are not
in place and some of the state build
ings seem just begun. 1t will be July
before the exposition is fairly com
plete and later before it is finished.
1t will be fine show when it is done,
but many who come now feel disap-
pointed. The present attendance is
about %, 900 day, but 6, 000to TO-
600 comes on passes of exhibitors or
workmen. The maple sugar booth
was assigned place in the gallery.
This was very unsatisfactory, and Mr..
Spear has now secured a location on
the main floor. He believes the maple
sugar market will now prove a sue
cess from every standpoint.

charming in a rich dress of dark blue vene
tian cloth trimmed with lace. She carried
bride roses. The bridesmaid wore a dress Of
dark brown ladies' cloth and a white silk

Nothing adds more to the pleasure
of travel or to the favorable impress
sion which strangers form in pass
ing through the country upon the
railroad than neat, well-kept attrac-
tive stations. This system of beauti-
flying stations by artistic landscape
gardening with flowers, plants, etc,
has been adopted to greater or less
extent within the last few years by
various railroads throughout the
country. We hope this custom will
strike the stations along the line OF

judiciously planned, would make a

1t is officially reported that about
twenty per cent of the young men,
who presented themselves for en-
trance examinations at the Military
Academy at West Point recently,
were found disqualified on account
of week eyes. What is the cause of
this? Is it the harder tasks, and
consequently harder studies, set up
on our young men by the present
day school requirement that have
caused this serious difficulty? The
matter is one that deserves investi-
cation.

Those who have given close atten-
ton to the subject are convinced
that tuberculosis is highly conta-
gious and that the only way in
which to lessen the disease, which,
by the way, has caused more deaths
to the human race than any other
single disease, is to treat it as con
tagious and guard against its
spreading. The quarantine authori-
ties have decided to make a rigid
examination Of all incoming emf

The figures of the Pension Bureau
for the past eleven months show
the fact, which will be more surpris-
ing to the general public than it is to
pension experts, that the Spanish
war is still not to be mentioned in
connection with the civil war as a
provoker of pensions. In eleven
months nearly 41,O00 names were
added to the pension rolls, and of
these only 1850 were of men pen
stoned for disability inflicted in the
Spanish war. Some LOO more
were issued for widows and orphans
made by this war; and certainly
these last will not be begrudged by
anyone We were being told three
years ago, at this time and later,
that every surviving Spanish war
soldier would soon be a pensioner
but as a cause of bodily disability
this war does not seem to class at
all with our great internecine con-
fict. We shall end up this fiscal year
with 2,OC0 more pensioners than we
had in 1900, so that but for the
Spanish war we should at least be
having a diminution in the number
of pensions; but as yet the disabled
veterans of this war are emphatically
but a drop in the bucket.

1t is said that never before in the

been so much intoxication and liquor
in evidence as during the last session.
Jurymen and witnesses had no
trouble to obtain what they wanted
and all they wanted. 1t was not of
the "boot leg" variety, but obtained
at places where the law is supposed
to be adhered to. Judge Munson
called the States Attorneys atten-

stand that official will soon move on

disgrace to our county and that all
who openly violate the law may be

And gave her parting kiss.

The much talked about "unwritten
law" which holds that man can
with impunity avenge wrong done
his home, has received serious set
back in New Jersey. This "law" pre-
walls to considerable degree in some
foreign lands and in some sections Of
this country where there is more OF u
certain kind of "chivalry" than there
is respect for the real law Of the land.
In the case of one Barker of New Jer-
sey. somewhat famous of late, 1t took
the jury just eight minutes at the con-
clusion of the trial. last week. to re-
pudiate the plea that this "unwritten
law" is higher than the written law.
The man who shot down Il clergyman
from behind because he believed his
wife's rather extraordinary story Of
an assault committed, a year previous.
will serve seven years behind priapn
bars.
The jury did itself credit. The man
was on trlaI IOr the SHOOTING Vi an
other with intent to kill; the alleged
assault was quite another matter to be
considered. If considered at all, at
another trial. The ''unwritten law" is
on the same principle as lynch law.
1t opens the door of anarchy. 1t puts
a premium upon crime. and is n men,
ace to the society of any community
where it is tolerated. No doubt. a man
whose home has been wronged. whose
wife betrayed. has a great provocation.
Many juries would acquit a man COM
hitting murder under such provoca-
ton. and great applause would greet
the verdict. But it would be all
wrong. No man should take the law
into his own hands with impunity in a
civilized community. The wrongs of
the husband are not his. but the laws.
to punish. New Jersey justice is an
honor to the country.
