EPITAPH ON MEXICAN TOMB
Neatly Worded EuIogy Over Grave Of
Notorious Outlaw

Notorious Outlaw.
MeX1cans are fond of epitaphs, they
rejoice in eulogies, they like to honor
their dead. Their attachment for
relatives is great, and monuments and
fower-strewn graves show that the
departed are not forgotten. The de-
ceased may have left a bad record,
and his friends may be anxious that
his conduct should be forgotten; still
this does not debar him from a neatly
worded eulogy.
Just outside the cemetery at Vera
Cruz there stands a fine monument
which marks the resting place of a
notorious outlaw, whose cruelty and
violence made his name a constant
menace to all peace and order. His
wife, in spite of harsh treatment, was
his faithful servant to the last, and
after his death thought that she
should show her respect for his mem.

She could not speak of his nobility
and worth, and so, after much con-

Waterbury Democrat., 1902-02-15

The Waterbury Democrat thinks that if the reform delegates had used more taffy and less rawhide the result might have been different. How much taffy and how littfe rawhide would it advise? Other papers have been just as certain that the reform delegates were using nothing but taffy and have told them that nothing would ever be accomplished in any such soft-voicad way as they were following. Hart ford Times.
 The Democrat at this writing can recall no time when the principal re- formers used taffy in trying to bring the constitutional convention to their way of thinking. Tn fact we have in mind that threats were freely used that if the town members did not do so and so there would come day of recil- oning. From the action of the conn- try delegates this week, backed up by the presiding officer, we are inclined to think that the one representative to T town crowd is willing to go to the people on such a platform. If they are, and the reformers say they will be swamped by so doing, it seems q waste of time to look for or hope for any hope from the present unjust rep resentation from the present constitu- tional convention. It is question in tue minds of many whether some of
Waterbury Democrat., 1902-02-15

the delegates who are now holding down seats in the convention are in favor of reform or not. They go into the matter in a half hearted way, each man holding his own views, with no organization back of them. On the other hand the delegates that favor the towns are thoroughly organized, know what they want, have demanded it and got it. Whether the people will stand for it or not is another question: That will be found out in due time The convention has drifted into sort of an entertainment, as the Times truly says. Editor Vance, who has space on the floor and can write from experience, says of the convention;
 A motion to adjourn over one week was even made yesterday, but the con vention had sense enough not to pass it. Delegate Waller, one of the re formers, made the motion, be 1t known) Delegates are allowed to talk on subjects that have been set tied, and the whole policy seems to be one of delay in the Micawber-like ex- pectation that something will turn up. We do not think that this is good pol icy. It is simply making farce of the convention, and giving such men as Clark of Haddam, who has taken upon himself the functions of clown, a chance to make asses of themselves. This is all very funny, but the conYen- tion is not q circus.

There are few members of the United States senate who work as en- ergetically as Senator Mason of H. linois. Not only are the interests of his state subject of the most careful considera ton to the senator, but those of his committee, postoffices and post roads. receive equal consideration. Re ferring to the bill for postal currency which he recently introduced he said,
 yesterday: "I have appreciated for some time that there was q very gem eral demand for a means of transmit ting small amounts through the mails at little or no expense. This has been accomplished, in the absence of better means, by the use of postage. stamps. The custom has many disadvantages
 Many houses receive far more stamps than they can use and they are com pelled to sell them at discounts vary ing from 3 to 6 per cent. Another dis advantage is that these perfectly Ie- gltimate sales of stamps are a constant source of annoyance to the authorities who are trying to trace thefts of post age stamps and their perpetrators. There are also many minor disadvan- tages. such as the adhesion of the stamps to the letter in which they are

HEARD IN PASSING

The latest reports tell of two victims of bunko steeres who had a new pro- cess for extracting gold from gold fishes. Every day there is added evi- dence of the truth of the adage about the fool and his money.
 We infer from an article in the New Haven Register that it is now inclined to accept an enlarged senate as a sub- stitute for improved representation i'll the house. If this is so it is q sur prise, for the Register has stood firmly for sound principle which the con vention ignored when it approved the ne-representative plan. The accept ance of the enlarged senate in place of better house representation is the abandonment of something really de- sired for something that was not asked. Hartford Times.

 inclosed, and so on. Now, my bill will remedy all these objections By it's pro- visions anyone can purchase, at any postofice, an order payable at any other postoffice in stamps or currency. If the latter is demanded there will be a discount of one per cent, but if stamps are taken there will be no ex- pense to the receiver. or remitter These orders will be issued to the amount of $1, but not for more. In case the remitter desires to make his remittance doubly safe he can endorse it payable to the person whom he de- sires to receive the money, and in that case no one else will be able to cash it. To use hackneyed expression these postal orders will fill long felt want for both merchants and con- sumers.''

With only one dissenting vote the senate adopted the joint resolution pro posing a constitutional amendment changing inauguration day from March 4 to the fourth Thursday in April.
