DRILLS WILL BB RESUMED.
School of Instruction in Rife Prac-
 tice Will Be Opened.

tice Will Be Opened,
 The general orders from headquar- ters, Second regiment, c. N. G., to the company captains, state that the weekly drills of the companies will be resumed on November 1, 1903, and continued to May 31, 1904. Bach drill will be preceded by the proper drum and bugle calls, will begin promptly at 8 o'clock and occupy ut least one hour and fifteen minutes. The drills for the season will com mence with the elementary principles, paragraphs 21-68, drill regulations, United States army, taken in regular order, manual of arms, as modified and corrected to the experienced sol- diers they are useful by way of re view and to the young soldier they are most necessary; continuing with the most important drill of a soldier, a thorough instruction in aiming and firing, paragraphs 69-94. This will be supplemented, when practicable, by gallery practice; then taking up the school of the soldier to paragraph 150. One drill a month must be devoted to guard duty and one drill to calisthen- ics, wall sealing and physical drill. In compliance with this section, re- ferring to rifle practice, the command ants of companies will immediately open school of instruction in rife practice, under the charge of some officer competent to instruct. This 1 officer will see that the men are thor oughly instructed in all the details necessary for the development of marksmen. Companies having no in- 1 door rife ranges will be obliged to curtai1 the instructions according to circumstances.
 The figure of merit will be detefmin- ed as heretofore.
 The majors will visit the companies of their respective battalions from time to time, and report to the com manding officer of the regiment any deficieslcies an enthusiasmL drill or discipline, which retards their growth or is stumbling block in the way of progress.
 Section VI of the general orders is 1 important. It reads: "A lyceum fol officers of this regiment is hereby in. stituted. at which the service of 'Se. curity and Information will be taken up and studied systematically and l thoroughly. These meetings will take place at New Haven and Waterbury and will be in charge of Lieutenant Colonel Geddes and the maqors. They will at once make the necessary ar engagements for conducting the meet ings, which should be both interest l ing and instructive.
 f Section 9 says that company com mandments will detail a sufficien- number of men for guard on each dril 1 night to preserve order in the armor3
 and keep out all objectionable charac tors.
 Tn the final paragraph Colonel Su 1 cher congratulates the companies fo
 the creditable record made during th'
 past year and concludes with the fol l lowing: ssAs we are about to open { new frill season, let each one talk hold. recruit the companies to th'
 maximum, get rid of those who are III
 credit to us, and place our regimen
 in a position prepared to serve ou country and state whenever callet upon.

One Of the assessors said to-day that he felt that if the alder men would wait until the work Of the board now in charge is seen he thought they would not see the need Of appointing a committee. StilT. he said. the assessors, would give tbe all dermanic committee the glad hand and hoped that they would be able to give them some informatio that may be useful If so it will be accepted cheerfully. But there will always be more or less trouble about military taxes. So many people are coming in who are exempt and SO many nov ing that are liable to pay that the IS sessors never will be able to make out lists without getting some charges on that will have to be abated The most they can do is to keep off the names of permanent residents who are not li- able for military taxes, and to do this IA quite chore, for many refuse to give any Information upon these mt ters fo those who calI upon thenl You can't get some of them to budge untf1 thay heaK from the collector.

PUBLIC O lNiON

Editor Evening News:
You are very kind indeed to allow
people to answer questions, but in my
communication to your paper Oh
Thursday | did not ask any questions
that | now remember that needed to
be answered. l simply made a state
ment Of such facts as | have procured
from a good reliable source. If l
have propounded a question it would
certainly have been to m unbiased
person.
If [ am encroaching on the Rector
street sidewalk l am exceedingly glad
that | am not living there alone, and
that l am in such good company, for
| am quite sure that all of the resi-
dents on that street, from Smith to
Gordon, and especially on the east
side of the street, know right we'll
that thev are over the line as to side
walk and they do not need to go to
the city surveyor to ascertain the
fact.
And further, if l am three feet over
the line then a short distance below
me they must be six feet at least, and
l have not seen any sarcastic charges
made against them.
Further, l paid assessments and
many Of them, before some of ou1
present Jealous promoters were born,
and thus helped to keep the city alive
IN order that the present generation
might perDetuate the good work and
leave to their posteritv a city ire
mendous in growth and wealth. l an
told that the city would not be likely
to take this matter up at the present
time and build this street for the
reason that it would be difficult per
haps, to float the bonds, but to show
that | am not trying to evade an
assessment, as charged, when the
proper material is selected, and the
cost of building obtained, with the
rest of the residents on the street, il
built from Smith street to Lewis
street, | will pay nv proportion in
advance and by this plan the city Will
not be compelled to issue bonds.
Yours,

State Board of Education at a
Loss to Know how to
Proceed.
MAY CALL LEGISLATURE
Special Session Mentioned as the Only
Way OutOf the Diff, Cnlty-cOEference
About the Matter-State Comptroller
and Treasurer Decide they have no
Authority to Distribute Funds.

Trenton, Sept. 26.-The decision OF
the Court of Errors and Appeals, set
ting aside the Mckee School law, has
been the subject of long conferences
by the State comptroller, the State
treasurer and the State school depart
ment.
A special session of the Legislature,
it is said in some quarters, will be
necessary, and a meeting of the law
committee of the State School Board
has been held to consider the matter.
The State comptroller and the State
treasurer practically reached a con-
olusion that they now have no author
ity for the disbursement or distrlbu-
ton of the State school moneys,
amounting to some 50, 900, 900, which
will soon pass through the State
t|reasurer's hands.
They are also practically satisfied
that there is no authority for the dis
tribution of more than $500, 900 of
State funds which were appropriated
to reduce the amount of money to be
raised by taxation for State school
purposes. This appropriation will eX-
pire on November /, hence the neces-
gity for immediate action.
1t is also claimed that with the set
ting aside of the Mckee act the State
Board of Education becomes only a de
faoto body, and that with it falls its
appointment of twenty school super.
intendents.
The State Board of Education is
much wrought mp over the matter,
an&a this time is altogether uncer-
tain as to what course should be pur-
\ sued.

ROOSEVELT ON FEDERAL APP
PoiNTMENTs IN THE SOUTH.

President Roosevelt has announced
his position with regard to federal APP
pointments in no uncertain manner In
connection with some of the nomin-
atoms he has made in the south he has
been subjected to persistent criticism.
This he has braced and in kind,
though firm manner he has informed
his friends and critics that his one aim
in making these appointments is to Sc
cure the greatest possible efficiency of
the federal service, regardless of the
color of the appointee. In letter writ
ten recently to Clark Howells, editor
of the Atlanta Constitution, President
Roosevelt states his position as fol-
lows:
AS to federal appointments in the
south, frankly it seems to me that my
appointments speak for themselves,
and that my policy is seIf-explanatory
So far from feeling that they need the
slightest apology or justification. my
position is that on the strength of
what have done have the right to
claim the support of all good citizens
who wish not only high standard of
federal service. but fair and equitable
dealing to the south as well as to the
north and policy OF consistent Jus.
tiee and good will toward all men. In
making appointments have sought

Minneapolis Tribune: The present
break in the stock market was FORE
seen when congress failed to pass the
Aldrich bill. The London Times is not
far wrong when saying with fiatter-
ing use of Am erican slang, the United
States has bitten off more than it can
chew" That means that more indus.
trial enterprises have been started
than can be financed on the present
basis of currency and credit. The AL.
drich bill was to cure this situation by
releasing government bonds as basis
for more issue of national bank cur
rency. 1t would have brought temper.
airy relief; but we suspect that specu
lation would soon have eaten up the
margin. Now speculation will have its
head cooled by liquidation, and the
water will be squeezed out of prices
This may bring business within man
ageable limits, though money famine
is expected all summer. The case
will not be helped by the payment OF
100000 out of the treasury to the
French, for Panama canal rights. Per
hals this situation will provoke some
business men in the senate to oppose
the treaty.
