SOME INFER ENCES.

Constitutional Reform must be get
 ting interesting and important when
 some of it's advocates feel obliged to
 talk as they do. For instance, we find
 this in the usually fair and calm Hart ford Times: "We infer from the words of the Journal and Courier that it re- gards the new Constitution as d Re publican scheme and cares nothing about obtaining representation that is suitable to a government by the peo- pie. We infer that it prefers such an oligarchy as now exists, and if it can not have that precisely, wants some thing as near it as possible. If not. what does it mean by attempting to arouse party feeling
 In the same issue of the Times which contains the remarks quoted above we also find this: We warn the mechan- ics of Connecticut that a trap has been set for them They are politely re- quested to swarm like so many bees into the hive of the little-town dele- gates. If the new Constitution shall be adopted the mechanics of the State will not only be shorn of their fair share of political power but they will instant ly be told that they have consented to the spoliation and that they have no right to again object to the loss of their political rights. If, through in- difference, they help to rivet the chains which are intended to fetter them for all time how can they ever expect to regain their rights as free men?" Are we to infer from this that the Times is trying to arouse feeling" between the mechanics and the farmers of the State? If not, what does it mean by such language as it uses? Does it want to bring about a state of things in which the mechanic can't rely on the farmer for strictly fresh eggs and butter without oleomargarine in it? Let us have peace in Connecticut even if we don't get much Reform.

"Hey Rube,p or "old si Hubbard.'

"Hey Rube;' or "Old si Hubbard" Twas away last spring, 1 believe in May, When old Si Hubbard to me did say: II hear there's a circus coming to town, Suppose we 70 and see the clownF So we sold our barley, oats and corn, In fact, we nigh cleaned out the barn; Then we went and bought two bran-new suits
 With high plug hats and red top boots, And soon as that circus came to town We two were the first ones on the ground. Says Si to me, Let's go and get tight, Pull down the tent and raise fight "Oh, mo- says l, "lll raise no feud, For you see I'd heard of old Hey, Rube!'' So we went and bought some red lemon
 ade
 And goober peas, for which l paid; Twas jolly good chap who kept the store, So l thought when he asked us to have
 more,
 And si and I just pitched right in, And the way we drank and ate was sin; But when l started to go away heard the gosh-darned sharper say, -Four dollars, quick, you Rubes, don't Or for the side show you'll be late" So paid the money, like a darned mush, And off to the side show we did rush; When we got inside such sights we seen Twas enough to turn our whlskers green. There was tattooed man all covered with
 ink. And a dog faced boy called Missing
 Link" But the sight that fairly made us shake Was a great big sleepy looking snake. Now, Si took his jackknife out real quick And up to the cage he did slip Then he stabbed that snake and jumped
 away; Well, I laughed, for the critter was stuffed
 with hay. A parrot in q cage close by Next caught the gaze of foolish Si. He didn't know this bird could talk, So when 1t called him country gawk He got right mad, and just for spite He knocked that bird clean out of sight; Then a monkey who was in cage At Sis conduct got in a rage, And to show his love for his feathered
 friend A helping hand he allowed to lend; Then the showmen came and threw us out
 in T hurry, And the gol darned band played Annie
 Laurie.'

The Proposed New Constitution.


 To the Editor of the Journal and Courier The question for decision by the peo- pie on June Is is Shall the proposed new constitution be accepted by the people" and not whether it is all that we could ask for, or is it the best that could have been framed?
 Such being the situation it will be the place for the people to decide whether the facts in the case are great CT that call upon the voters to kill 1t, than those which would move us to an acceptance.
 Now what are the facts?
 First-For over fifty years there have been periodic and earnest calls for a constitutional convention, but never until the legislature of 1901 has pro- vision been made for the calling of such a gathering,
 Second--Under the constitution of 1918 not only was no provision made for such proceeding, but even amendments were hedged about with many onerous and obnoxious difficulties.
 The proposed constitution is a long step in advance of our present one in both of the above points in that it provides for new constitution while our present one does not, and second, it also provides that amendments can be made by much simpler proceeding. We realize that some will say that the provision for new constitution could be met only with great difficulty i. e., "the getting of a favorable vote by clear majority of all the registered voters of the State," but I ask in all fairness is not even that a marked ad- vance on our present fundamental law? However, the men who throw up this last point seem to have failed to un- derstand the succeeding section which relates to amendments" and to realize that if the new constitution prevailed it is within the province of the legisla- ture at its session in 1903 to amend that section which relates to Calling con- vention." and set at once in motion the machinery that will remove the obnox- ious features of the proposed constitu- ton.
 Again there will never be time when so many of the present generation are so thoroughly awake on this matter as they are at present when the ''pros and cons" of the various propositions are fresh in their minds and therefore never a time when additional amend ments, in the line of wise improve ments could so easily be added as by this one, and at once correct ing any deficiencies and omissions In fact the writer was present in the fall of 1900 at number of the meetings of those in favor of the Constitutional

| YARNING.

There is a good deal of eastern money sas and there may be more if those who are booming the "shale gold propo- eition" of that locality don't get a set back Those who are thinking of fin vesting" in this interesting scheme should first consider some remarks that
 are made by Professor HaWorth, of the
 Kansas University. He says that the
 University of Kansas has made more
 than three hundred assays of the shale
 without finding more gold than the
 trace that can be found in rock or soil
 anywhere. He has sent Kansas shale
 all over America for assay. The min eralogy department of Columbia uni- versity reported not a trace of gold. The Missouri School of Mines tried to find values and failed. Similar reports were made by every institution to which he sent shale. He asserts that no test of the shale ever made that has shown values is above suspicion. There is no general knowledge of the ease with which the shale may be salt ed He ventures the assertion that if allowed his personal liberty and free access to his own home, he could salt shale under the eyes of ten Pinkerton detectives and no one would be the wiser. He can carry enough gold under his finger nails to make ore run s20 to the ton. It is possible to show great values by means of a tube running up and down the length of ones shirt sleeve. He can dip his finger into a gold solution and make a bunch of ehale show gold in commercial quanti- ties.
 Of course Professors do not always ''profess" accurately, but Professor Haworth seems to know what he is talking about, and 1t is quite probable that the other Professors who have as- saved Kansas shale would have been able to find gold in it if it had been there

OUR TRADE WITH CHINA.

Sir Robert Hart has issued his annu- al report on the foreign trade of China, and it contains some things that arc es- pecially interesting to the people of this country. It appears that, with the exception of the year 1899, the im- port and export record os 1901 was the largest in Chinese history. MT Taylor, Sir Roberts secretary, figures that re- turned emigrants account for some of the increased import. He says, for in stance, that the increased demand for American goods could be traced to some extent, to the Chinese who had re- turned from America and who had be- come accustomed to American goods and insisted on getting them in China.

Eighty-fve per- cent of the sugar refining plants and eighty per cent. of the plantations and factories are uninjured. The Bank of Martinique according to the Temps, did not suffer any great loss in it's profits by the disaster, and is in excel- lent condition.

The San Francisco Chronicle tells that when Bret Harte was 8 reporter for that paper he was assigned to the opening of a new saloon, in describing which event in really funny half- column story he began nationally and gradually worked around to the inco- herence of a drunken man. The article was an exact portrayal of the stages of mans mind passing from exhilaration to intoxication, and Harte was proud of his work When he looked at the paper the next day he found in place of his article a half column of matter as dull as ditch water. In the absence of the editor the foreman of the composing room, supposing Harte had really been drunk and thinking to do him a ser- vice, had lifted" his story and substi- tuted a hastily written makeshift.

The lack of marble in Denmark has led to many attempts to produce a sub stitute which would equal in decora- tive effects the natural product. A Danish master builder is producing q stone of such delicate transition of tints and play of color that it Is impossible to distinguish it from the natural pro- duet, while as to cost of manufacture, it can compete with all other artificial marbles. The imitation of the more expensive species does not exceed in cost that of the cheaper ones. The process of manufacture is simple and the cost of the outfit does not exceed $175 The article can be produced in any form desired-columns plain or f1uted, and capitals-as readily as flat slabs. It is claimed that even pictures may be made of this material It seems to have the durability of genuine marble, but it's cost is only about one- tenth as much.

MT. James Boyle, the United States consul at Liverpool has recently made an interesting report to the United States government showing the extent to which the municipal ownership of public utilities has been carried in Great Britain. He states that ninety nine municipalities in Great Britain own their own street railroad systems, forty own their own gas plants, and 1S1 own their own electric light supplies. Some of the municipalities have the most curious properties. Manchester owns ship canal, St. Helens a steril- ized milk depot. Torquay rabbit war ren, Hull crematorium Doncaster and Chester a race course, Bradford a hotel. HarroWgate a Turkish bath, Bourne mouth a golf course, West Ham a stone Tagging factory, and Colchester an oys- ter fishery. Several British cities sup ply free concerts, and Liverpool fur nishes hot water on the slot principle.

The Killing of Robert Carter by
Il. l.. Stuckey at Pollock.

On last Sunday morning Robert
Carter, Will Teddlie and E. j. Tut,
OF Tioga, went to Pollock for thepur-
pose of making E. L. Stuckey, editor
OF the Peoples Demands make a re-
traction of criticisms passed upon
them. The retraction was in REFER
ence to All attack these three men had
made on W. B. Harper two weeks be-
fore, which Stuckey very caustically
criticised as a cowardly attack on an
inoffensive cripple, and Teddlie was
particularly named as tough" and
'cowardly beast"
TIE three parties went to the De-
mands Office, and there Teddlie pre-
sented Stuckey with typewriter re-
traction and demanded that he sign
it. Upon Stuckey refusing, Teddlie
caught him around the neck and be-
gan to beat him over the head with
his pistol Getting free, Stuckey, al
though stunned and bleeding, man.
aged to get out bis pistol and began
to shoot. In all six shots seem to
have been fired, supposed to be asfol-
lows: One by Stuckey, three by Ted
die and two by Tut, who is reported
to have fired twice at Stuckey's back.
Only one of the shots took effect, and
it appears to have been the one fired
by Stuckey at Teddlie, but which
missed him and struck his partner
Carterin the stomach, cutting two or
three entrails and passing through
his kidney. Carter fingered about
two days and died from his injuries.
Teddlie and Tut were arrested by
Marshal Smith and other citizens at
hand. Stuckey also surrendered.
All the parties were brought to Col
fax last Monday, and district court
being in session with the grand jury
sitting, the matter was at once pre-
sented to them. No bill was found as
to Stuckey. Indictments we're return
Q against Teddlie and Tut in ac-
cordance with the facts elected.
TeddIie waived arraignment and
was admitted to bail in the sum oil
$1,000, which he furnished and has
been released. Tutt is in Jail.
