There is one thing that commends
the rural delivery over and above the
fort and convenience OF the farmers
farmers place of residence known to
passers along the road. The majority
Of the country people who geti their
mail in this manner have their names
blazoned on their mail boxes, at the
roadside, and the stranger in their
parts has little difficulty as he goes
along, in ascertaining the names of
the residents Of the region. 1t is a
great convenience to people hunting
somebody in the country, and it is a
thing good enough to be pushed along
to the rest of the country, whether there
are mail boxes in place or not.

Of anti.imperialists in Boston

Boston, April 16. - Sixto Lopez
told the Publishers Press that its
Paris cable was the first intimation he
had had of his cablegram to Aguinal-
do. "The only thing we had received
since cabling was the assurance from

reached Manila, whether or not it
would be delivered we did not know.
"My object in bringing Aguinaldo
here was simply to inform the Ameri-

Philippines, and also it seemed after
Aguinaldo's capture the government
could afford to be magnanimous.
Lopez intends to quit Boston short

The Rev James Robertson's predic- ton may come true sooner than he eN- pected. Some time ago he suggested that perhaps the Boers would take q run to Cape Colony. and the dispatches the past week tell us that is just what they have done. Writing on this sub jcct q staff correspondent Of one of our New York exchanges says that it is amazing to see how mems hearts have hardened under this sophistry into approving not only of war, but of any extreme of cruelty and atrocity that may be judged needful to its sue cess. One of the best known chap lains of the British army in South Af- rica is Rev James Robertson. who serves with the Highland brigade. and is q clergyman of the kirk Of Scot land. In letter from Edenburg. in the Orange River republic, he says: It is mistake to regard the country as conquered. What would yon say if you heard of an incursion in-o Cape Colony? The war will last f.Y long tiAiiS SSl. al iS pl.tN lhS- "Clt their only card-the guerilla trick. verify belieye-I have said it for ths-that we shall have complete ly to denude the country ere we Quieten it. 1 know well We shall be reproached with the old charge. They have made q solitude and called it peace" But 1 am so sick of this foe, racing and chasing such an Elusive en- ecy, that I would welcome the cessa- ton of hostilites, even though bare fields and blackened homesteads frowned ail around. Desperate dis eases need desperate cures. You can not cure q cancer by q camOmile poul- tice any more than you can cure the stubborn Boer, until surgical and eau teriZing instruments in the shape of fire and sword scrape and burn him to tue very bone This is the Ian guage of q minister of the gospel of peace' to whom the Boer defense Of their liberties and their homes Sug- gests nothing but q fostering and dead ly cancer. to be cut out with the knife.

WINDSOR LocKs's SCANDAL.
The Census Inquiry In That Town Is
 Now Completed.

ANO" SOlhpACNCN.
 Windsor Locks, Feb S.-The work of looking for residents of Windsor Locks who were not enumerated by the census enumeratOrS has come to |, close. Many more attidavits have been collected than were called for by the department at Washington. The in- vestigatioD has convinced the people of the town that the discrepancy be- tween the population as given by the census and the actual population is fully what was maintained. and that the population is really somewhere be- tween 3,40O and $500 as the deduc- tionS from the increase of the voting list and of the children of school age had demonstrated.
 A very interesting fact is that a large number of men not enumera ted are on. the list checked as voting here at the fall election and one of the enumera tors is the registrar of voters. Another interesting incident is that a number, who were enumerated and whose ages are given officially as be- low 2l years, are also one the list as having voted, notwithstanding their tender years.
 The proof of error has been forward ed to Washington and the law abiding element of the town are earnest that a correction shall be made. It seems to have been the plan to drop out the name of every person that by any pre- text could be omitted
Waterbury Democrat., 1901-02-08

Fake resolutions granting cities power to issue bonds for paving pur- poses have come to light, says the Hartford Times. The other day one granting Waterbury this right was shown to be bogus and on Wednesday Mayor Thayer of Norwich told the finance committee that his city did not ask a resolution which had been put ill authorizing the issue of S2JO, ,OOO of paving bonds.
 And now New Haven has repudia ted a bill giving the Elm city power to issue such bonds. There was q big scheme back of these bills, and if it had only gone the limit some party or company would be living in clover in q few years.
