One of the lessons that should be taught on every Memorial Day to the younger generation is that the Civil war is long since over, that the foe of forty years ago is the friend of today. We have had war since then and our country had no better champions in the Spanish war than some of the old vet erans of the Confederacy and their sons. Civil wars abroad never leave snch long after feeling among people of the same country as did our Civil war. and it is with pleasure that we notice that every year brings us more secure feeling of united nation, true United States.
 For particular evidence that the war is long since over take notice of the following incidents that occcured on Memorial Day, last Fridsy. Judge Thomas G. Jones. of Alabama. . Confederate veteran, delivered the oration at Grants tomb in New York. In Washington, D. O.. the procession marched to Arlington where President Roosevelt delivered the oratipn and the graves were decorated, including those of the Confederate dead. At Cumberland, Md, Union and Confederate veterans united in the observance of Memorial Day. The day was observed at Ander- sonville national cemetery in Georgia with no manifestations of i'll feeling from the southerners. At Kansas City, Mo-, . monument erected by the Daughters of the Confederacy to the Confederate soldiers who died at the battle of Westport YVES unveiled with appropriate ceremonies. The signifi- canoe of this is in the fact of the cere- monies being conducted on our national Memorial Day instead of in June when the Confederates usually observe me-
 nOSial day.

 The indications are that the town of Cornwall will sustain their delegate to the constitutional convention in voting against the illogical and harmful system of representation contained in the new constitution, a system whereby Corn- wall loses one of their representatives and it is given to another town that has few hundred more inhabitants which has been set of from some town and agreed as part of the consideration for such division they would take up with one representative. We consider 1t un fair and unwise and was much surprised to see those delegates who stood up a | few honra hafora and aaid if waa I-60 or nothing. vote for such a measure; but that is the way of the world. If they could get seats in the band wagon they were sltisfied to let the others who had helped them to walk or hobble along with one foot in. We hope our people will vote NO.

A woman says: North Canaan ought to build summer hotels instead of wasting 80 much money on it's roads. !" That woman has struck the nail on the head. Isn't it strange that in the mat ter of public improvement women have more gumption than men have. and can ''size up" the situation better and quick or than man can. From time im- memorial-and especially within the past ton years-North Canaan has wasted money on it's roads. Of course some money must annually be expend- cd for the repairs of roads and bridges, but what has North Canaan to show for the money appropriated for roads dur ing the past ten years? Hundreds of city people would spend their summers in North Canaan if they could find de- sirAble hotel accommodations here. The money the city people would pat into circulation would benefit the whole town. If you want to boom North Ca- nAan, take . woman's advice, viz. ''build summer hotels instead of vast ing 70 much money on roads,"

The cities of this state are responsible for calling the recent constitutional convention yet they are not satisfied with Oonnecticut's new proposed coI- stitution because it does not give them as many representatives and senators as they desire. No plan of representation based on population-which could do equal and exact justice to cities, large towns and small towns was presented to the recent convention. None of the plans were satisfactory to all, and none of them were an improvement on the present system of representation. The Bissen plan-which was presented and adopted at the eleventh hour-was not referred to committee and was not fully discussed but was rushed through as compromise and was grasped at as drowning man grasps at g straw. It hes been said that ."The Bissell plan was adopted just because nobody was satisfied with it." It is doubtful if any plan of representation can be invented that will be equitable and please every body. Human nature is the same to day that it was nineteen hundred years ago when even tho kingdom of heaven was not satisfactory to mankind-as re- corded m the first sixteen verses of the twentieth chapter of Matthew-when those who had labored in the vineyard twelve hours (not an eight hour day) kicked because they did not receive more than those who had labored either one, three, six or nine hours. Today tho cities are kicking because tho country towns have some voice in legislation and some rights that should be respected.

Tautphaus and Davis Each Get a
Judgment.

Judge Beatty of the federal court
handed down two opinions April
18th. One was in the case of Will
liam X. Davis Va. the Idaho Min
ing and Milling company, corpo-
ration that has been on the shelf
for five or six years.
Suit was brought for alleged serv-
ices as mine superintendent at the
rate of $3.50 per month from August
1, 1887, to May 1, 1897. The testi-
mony showed that during the last
seven years the mine had been shut
down. The court found that the
plaintiff was entitled to $50 per
month from August /, 1887, to
January /, 1890, and $75 per
month for balance of time, amount
ing to $1,000 After deducting
admitted credits there was found
due the net sum of $17OO, and
Judgment so rendered.
G. G. Tautphaus vs.. Owyhet
Land and Irrigation company
This action was suit for balance
claimed to be due for the construct.
ion Of canal under an alleged con
tract. The defendant company
disavowed any liability under thu
contract made by it's own officer
or the officers whom the defendants
succeeded. The case was tried a
the last term, and the court decided
yesterday that there was due tn
plaintiff the sum Of $40,S31, will
interest at the legal rate from Jan
uary 6, 1896, and judgment wa
ordered accordingly.
The theory of the courts holdini
was that so long as the defendan
had profited by the labor and eS
penditures of plaintiff that the
could not we'll come in at this time
and deny or disavow the contrac
made by their predecessors in office
The case had been pending a lon
time and was first brought in tn
state courts and afterward was re
moved to the federal court.-State'
