CHEfP ENOUGH.

The Jersey mo1luito is as famous as Jersey justice. It has hung on and bit with most remarkable persistence and success, but perhaps it's time has now come Anyhow, some of its foes are talking big The State entomologist has discovered that 90 per cent, of all the mosquitoes in New Jersey breed on the esaltmarshes along the coast and then migrate inland. To get rid of all these salt marsh breeding areas within the State will cost $315,55o This estimate, reports the entomologist is based upon actual surveys of the entire territory and upon the cost-ditching, draining, and filling in-already done in New York and New Jersey. The estimate for each area is given separately and the figures run all the way from fifty dollars, which would be the cost of re- claiming the small piece of salt mead ow between South Amhoy and Morgan, to $1s,OOO for the area along the shore, south from Barnegat to the Pennsyl- vania railroad bridge, west to Mana hawlSin, and the islands adjacent to that part of the coast.
 Three hundred and fifteen thousand dollars wouldn't be much to spend to get rid of the ferooious Jersey mosqui- to, and we hope it will be spent If the entomologist knows that it ought to be- When the Jersey mosquito is dead and gone perhaps our own East Shore vil- lain will receive the attention which has long been his due.

THE 4RIzONl PROgEsr

Arizona isn't feeling a bit good over the plan to wed her to New Mexico, and she is making her feeling known in way that cannot fail to be under stood in Washington. At a fair in Phoenix the other day, at which several thousand persons were present, a vote was taken on the proposition of joint statehood, and the count showed nine- ty-eight per cent. of those voting ad- verse to the plan. Meetings at Phoenix and at Tucson the former capital and one of the largest towns, have declared themselves enthusiastically hostile to consolidation, and a gathering at the latter place the other evening went to the extent of madly cheering Mayor Rose, of Milwaukee, whose interests in Arizona are said to be large, who is reported to have counselled extreme measures in case of a crisis. In the opinion Of Mir. Rose 1t would be better, if the spirit of individual liberty is to be smethered by the gag of expediency, ito let the streets of Tucson run with the blood of martyrs as have the gut ters of Warsaw"
 Of course this is rather wild talk, but the people of Arizona are wild over a plan which seems to them to be the height of absurdity and wrong, and which seems very much so to great many who don't live in Arizona. When the people of 6 Territory aso practical ly unanimous against such plan as has been made for Arizona they are surely entitled to decent treatment from Union based on liberty.

as average domestic steers, Spirited they were, of course, but not vicious in the least degree. Many ladies and more children patted their heads and thrusts their fingers out of sight in the long, soft wool, but the calves made no att tempt to kick or butt. Most of the time they were harnessed and un- hanessed by men who were entire strangers to them, but there was never any trouble.
 After the first day or two, the yoke was practically discarded, and the team appeared twice a day in double harness. And handsome mount they made in their silver mounted brides, set off by the rich brown fur, and with the picturesque figure of Morrison on the box. It was little wonder that hun dreds of people wished to ride behind them, and that many distinguished persons promptly accepted invitations to drive them round the inclosure. Prominent doctors, lawyers, judges, en- gineers and college professors, many Of them bald or gray-headed, scrambled over the sides of the cart like school boys and laughingly handled the rib bons over the only team of buffaloese in the world On the last day

WIsH IND HOPE.

New Haven has got safely through another week, but what a week 1t has been! May we not soon have another like it, We probably shall not. Things don't often happen as they have hap pened around here lately. If they did life would be even more troublesome and mysterious than it is.
 Only few days ago we were all wishing each other Happy New Year, in utter ignorance of the future, but hoping for the best. Let us continue to wish and hope. It is the only way to keep going, and as we don't know what lis before us it is the most sensible thing to do. The New Year in New Haven hasn't opened very cheerfully, but those who live to the end of it will probably find that it will compare well with other years. If it doesn't it will be an excep- tion, and at the end of it we can hope and wish that there may not be another exception.

ONE OF THEM.

Queer moves have to be made in this
 world to check what is sometimes call ed progress. For instance, in the Han seatic city of Hamburg, the governing class has determined to meet the re- markable increase of the Socialist vote by a reactionary revision of the elector- al system of the city, At the last gen. eral election for the German Reich stag the three constituencies into which the city of Hamburg is divided return ed three Social Democrats, including Herr Bebel, and cast large total of 100, 900 votes, as against 6O,OOo votes re- corded for other parties. The popular assembly in Hamburg known as the Burgerschaft numbers 160 members, but of these under the present civic system of election the Socialists return only 1S. According to this system 70 members are elected by the ground landlords, 40 by the so-called notables, while the remaining 80 members are elected by citizens who for five success sive years have paid taxes on incomes of not less than $500. The ground land lords and the notables enjoy a second vote among the general body of citi- zens, and some of them even vote three times in their thresfold capacity of ground landlords, notables and ordin-

 ary citizens, The new bill retains the privilege of the owners of city property and of the notables to elect half of the popular legislative assembly; but the other half is no longer to be elected by the equal votes of the remaining citizens. Forty-eight representatives are to be elected by citizens who pay income tax upon incomes of over $625, eight representatives by country par ishes, and 24 representatives by citizens who pay taxes upon incomes under $500,

mals, the buffalo calves were a great success; but they were more than this. They were living representatives of a noble race doomed to extinction unless the American people become sufficiently interested to save it. And those gritty little calves, by their handsome appear ance, splendid strength and intelligent behavior were awakening the interest, which I believe shall increase until that grand typically American animal, the Buffalo, shall be freed from all danger of passing.

The Alaska market for last year was more valuable than ever before. Dur ing the first ten months of 1905 domes- tic products valued at $12,9S5,172 were shipped to Alaska, and it is believed that when the complete figures for the year are in they may be found to reach $45,00O,OOO. Shipments of native prod ucts and other merchandise, exclusive of gold and silver, from Alaska here for the first ten months of the year amounted to s0,585,OS7, as compared with $S,S26,916 in the corresponding period in 1904. The slight falling off this year was due to smaller salmon shipments. Production of copper is steadily increasing.

Statistics OF Vermont Schools

During the school year that closed on
March 81, 1906, the legal schools in Ver-
mont numbered 2,479 and were taught by
properly certified teachers. These figures
have been recently tabulated by the Hon.
Mason S. Stone, State superintendent of
edu cation, for the biennial report to the
Legislature. The legal term school ap-
plies only to those that have been in ses.
sion at least % weeks during the year
and in which school registers have been
kept. Among these schools the State
tax is divided with the exception of
S4j 900 reserve fund that is being taken
from thu State tax. Th" reserve fund
is divided among the tuwrs according
to the per ceht. II lax that is raised tor
the running of schuol,. ranging from
30 per cent. upwards. Towns Gevoting
less than 80 per cent. of taxes to the
schools do not share in the reserve fund.
The data for the report of the depart
ment of education is being rapidly COM
piled and the number of pupils attending
the schools and other interesting figures
can soon be made public.

The fair grounds of the Addison
County Agricultural society have taken
on decidedly animated appearance dur

twenty horses are in charge of the sew
eral trainers and the indications point to
an increase of this number within few
days. The track is in superb condition
and in addition to the veterans and new
comers there is quite a bunch of green
horses that have developed wonderfully
during the month past. Whether Trainer
Porter will decide to start some of his
new ones is not known now but if he
does there ought to be some pretty good
racing for green ones.
The race events this year ought to
prove particularly attractive. The man

chusetts Church.

The Rev. Thomas Simms. pastor of
the Congregational church of this place
has received unanimous call to the
pastorate of the historic Congregational
church at Braintree, Mass This church
will celebrate it's 200th anniversary next
year, and boasts total service of l4O
years by three pastors.
Mr.. .Simms came here nearly six years
ago from. Manchester, Conn, and during
his pastorate has won for himself high
place. not only as a clergyman, but as
citizen. AS a preacher. Mr.. Simms
has always been very opportune in his
choice of topics, making his pulpit min
istrations timely and profitable. With
high ideals he has made these ideals
attractive by the eloquence and sincerity
of his presentation. In pastoral work he
has been very thorough and earnest,
winning many for the membership of
the church and the service of Christ.
The fruit of his organizing ability may
be seen in the two young peoples socie-
ties, and in the increase and efficiency
of the Sunday school, A man of strong
convictions, he has deemed it his privi-
lege to make those convictions known,
and has been actively and beneficially
identified with matters of public interest
The nearly six years of Mr.. Simms
labors have marked an up-to-date and
progressive pastorate.
