Abuse of Horses
! In the country districts and in cities
throughout this state no one attempts
to move a load in icy weather with
smooth-shOd horses, but in little old
New York no horses are sharpshod,
and many are compelled to work shoes
worn as smooth and shiny as a pair
of skates. The question that is daily
suggesting itself to every lover of ami
mails, as he sees horses falling is, il
something cannot be done to prevent
its barbaTOus abuse of the most faith
full servant We have, whose painful
efforts at present to do their work
have excited the pity and indignation
of every horse lover, and brought a
blush of shame to every one who
imagined himself resident of a civil
lied community The drivers are often
heartless and cruel. but they are by
no means so much at fault as the
owners who send them out, with
heavy loads ard smooth shod teams,
expecting them to do the ordinary
days work Surely the brutality OF
the past few days cannot endure for
ever, and there is no doubt but the
person who would take initissi-steps
to have law passed to compel owners
of draught horses to have them prop
erly shod when the streets are icy,
would have the thanks of the citizens
at large.
Objectionable Posters.

KIND HoR1D.

Those who are inclined to think that this isn't kind and sympathet- ic world may have their suspicion re- moved by a consideration of the case of Jesse Pomeroy. It may be dimly remembered by some that thirty years ago Jesse, who then lived, we believe, in Boston. got into the habit of killing little boys in a way so fiendish that there was general relief when he was sentenced to son- tary confinement in the Massachu- setts State prison, the only drawback to the general relief being the be- lief that he should have been put out of the world as a mercy to him. self and all concerned. His sentence has been faithfully carried out, but every once in awhile there has been a movement to have him let out of confinement, or, at least, out of soli- tary confinement. Another of those movements" is now on, and it is be- ing pushed with zeal. It may succeed, and if this one doesn't another prob ably will, if Jesse lives to give 1t a chance. He is now AT years old, and Is sai dto be broken down.
 Of course Jesse wasn't put in prison for punishment" It was recognized then that punishment couldn't touch him. The question was what to dc with him, and 1t was answered by a life sentence to solitary confinement The question now will be in the minds of many, is 1t wise or safe to bring him into any kind of contact with his fellow beings? Massachusetts mus answer that question, but there car be no doubt that this is a very sym. pathetic, considerate and forgetting world,

 Some two months ago Judge Landls of the United States court convicted a citizen of Chicago of rihing the mails. He ordered the young man sent to prison for a year but taking pity on him for obvious reasons gave him two months in which to earn money with which to support his wife and baby while he remained in prison. He has been hard at work since and has raised the money needed Mon day he presented himself at the prison gates for arrest in keeping with his promise to the court.
 This is @ very peculiar case and suggests an inquiry or two as to what the purpose of society is in confning law breakers in prisons. It can cer- tainly do society no good to imprison this young man if he has already re- Ipented of his slawlessness, and from the facts as they are presented in the newspapers he certainly has repented. He has been unable to wipe out the offense but he has shown that he is not a natural criminal. He has worked industriously for the care of his family and in not fleeing from the Jurisdiction of the court has proven that he is possessed of Q conscience. Tn other words he has made very creditable record and won the con fdence of his employers.
 It will suit the integrity of the sta tutes of course to imprison this young offender but it would suit the integri- ty of a Christian social structure bet ter if he were told to keep on working at a useful occupation and caring fol his family. Perhaps Judge Landis will see things in that light when he returns from his vacation.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES,
Gambling,
tIIartford courant.)


 The economic flaw in gambling is that 1t Is getting something for noth- ing. Everybody is willing to meet such fate, but 1t is not industry. The moral perils about gambling are first, that those will be led into 1t who risk not their own money that they can afford to lose but that entrusted to them, and, second that those engaged in 1t will cheat The relation, for in- stance, between the pool box and the horse race is proverbially scandalous. Dice are loaded. Cards are marked There are hundreds of ways to cheat, and they are all used in the business It's tendency is distinctly demoralizing and that is why an advanced sense of the pfoprleties has shut down on It. Presumably the gambling in clubs and private houses Is honestly conduoted but it is as unlawful as any that IS done behind screen doors for the es. poclal and commercial purpose or fieecing lambs. As we said yesterday the open and undisguised l-selling at Charter Oak Park last week indi- cates that in this community, where virtue has so many champions noo' body cared enough about 1t to stop It.

4 SUCCESSFUL BORROWING.

It has been plain for some days that New York city's big bond sale would be a success, and yesterday the sue cess was announced. The announce ment was cheering, and it's effect will be felt in more ways and in more places than one. Of course there has been some extra effort to make the sale a success. It is said that New Yorks grandest old financier has had a finger in the pie, and the pie that he puts finger in is usually a suc- cess. The fact that this sale has need- ed some manipulation" to make 1t successful is a mild drawback to the ioy inspired by it, but just imagine what the situation would have been if the bonds couldn't have been made to go.
 So far, so good. Boston can't sell four per cent bonds at par, and other would-be borrowers can't get what they want. New York is still able to borrow, and has got her money at a very reasonable rate. If her success unduly encourages other money-seek- CTS they will soon find just where they belong.

CHEERING LIBERALTTY.

We read a great deal about the trace prejudice" that exists in the South and the unwillingness of the southerners to recognize the ability dnd the achievements of the negro, but 1t isn't all that way For instance, this from the Louisville Courier Journal: The colored Knights of Pythias of the World, in session here this week, have made an altogether excellent impression. The orderly method in which they have conduct ed their business, the gentlemanly manner in which they have borne themselves, and the exceedingly cred itable appearance they presented in their parade, have eliclted general comment and commendation It is pleasure to note such evidences of progress on the part of their race, and the Courier-Journal is glad thus to voice the good will of the city to- ward them.
 We couldn't have done better than that right here in good old New Ha- ven--a city where there is no race prejudice, and where the foreign vote is considered quite as good as any

information to a better understanding is in itself most significant.
 The corrupt practices commission Included in its report to the General Assembly of the State of Connecticut a provision limiting the amount of money candidates for office may be permitted to give to their party funds and providing for the greatest pub licity in the receipt and expenditure of all moneys. The recommendation was practical one and was based upon information received from prac- tical politicians who were tired of playing the game as it is now played in the State. Had it been adopted the standard of politics in the State would have been raised immensely. Why it was not adopted we must leave to others to explain. It should have been adopted because Connecticut is by no manner of means so free from ques- tionable practices that such law is not needed. It is preposterous that the elections in this State should cost what they do cost. The electoral ma- chinery can easily be moved for a quarter of the sum expended. That it is not justifies the assertion that it is worth some one's while to continue the corrupt methods The whole sub feet is one demanding practical con- sideration and perhaps political rev- olution.

The Teddy Bear Scare.
Washington Herald.)

The Teddy bear is nothing more or less than a simple toy--just like any other toy--in the hands of a child When it invaded the field of young ladyhood, 1t did, to be sure, assume something of silly aspect; but that has nothing to do with either of the cases above cited. Its effect upon the mind of child is no more or less than the effect produced by anything that amuses or entertains innocently. The craze Is about at it's end, anyhow, and 1t may be allowed to die In peace with out one disturbing thought being left behind as to the ultimate i'll effects of It's existence. It has had it's day, and that day has not been misused, It was the fad of a moment, and 1t will fade away, just as thousands and thousands of similar fads have faded away in the past. Let no misguided ones be dis turbed.

BOYS AND e1RLs OF GLASGOW


 If race-suicide and chlld-suicide don't take the children out of the way before the study of them by the sci entific gentlemen is fully done we may know q little something about chill dren. The latest information about some of them has come from an ex- animation of the physical condition of the school children of Glasgow. For purposes of examination, seventy three schools, with 72,S57 pupils, were divided into four social grades, including the poorest and wealthiest districts of the city. The report states that at each age, from five to eigh- teen, the average weight and height were uniformly be.ow the standard of the anthropometrical committee with the exception of those in the highest grade. They were in weight practical ly identical with the standard, and in height shade over the standard. Tt cannot be an accident the report says, "that boys from two-roomed houses should be 11.7 pounds lighter on an average than boys from four roomed houses, and 4.7 inches small CT. Neither is 1t an accident that girls from one-roomed houses are, on the average, fourteen pounds lighter and 5.9 inches shorter thar the girls from four-roomed houses"
 The moral seems to be that 1t isn't quite as good a thing to be poor as the rich men say 1t Is. still, we may yet learn that 1t is better to be light and short than weighty and tall.

 By means of a steel-lined irrigation canal engineers are preparing to give water to a district in Egypt near As suan which has been dry and parched for 5000 or 4,OOO years. The soil is saline and for this reason 1t is neces- sary to wash the ground for from three to four weeks before any crops can be grown upon it. When first wet, the ground swells and rises about six inches, afterward subsiding from one foot to two feet.
 The cultivation in France of the soy bean, whose products are so inn portant in the dietary of the Chinese and Japanese, is being urged by Chi nese in Paris. A puree pressed from the boiled seeds yields both milk and cheese, thinning with water producing very good substitute for animal milk, and coagulating with mineral salt fitting the material for cheese making. The cheese Is usually eaten fresh, though It may be preserved by salting, first being cooked.
 The Washington Post points out that the three New Workers elected to the Presidency had all been governors at Albany; that Samuel J. Tilden, who was so nearly elected, had been governor; and that four of the nine New Workers elected to the vice-presi- dancy had been governors, fifth be- coming governor after his four years in the chair of the Senate.s Another of the interesting facts is that four of the nine New York vice-presidents attained the Presidency--Van Buren by election, Fillmore, Arthur and Roosevelt by tragical succession.

It is related that an Irishman lost his watch in Buffalo the other day. On reporting his loss to the chief of police he was told that mot a stone would be left unturned" to find it. The next day in walking through Main street he noticed that it was ripped up from Exchange to Niagara street. Going out Niagara street he was impressed by evidences of sim liar upheaval.
