SOME OF THE DREAMS.

Smart men in this country dream many dreams, and so many of them are made to cone true that it is dam gerous to be dubious about any par ticular dream. Just now some of them are dreaming what new and improved waterways are going to do for New England. This section of the country will, it is pointed out, be the natural northerly terminus of the vast system of intercoastal waterways, which, up- on the completion of the Cape Cod canal and of the proposed canal from Boston to Fall River via the Taunton river, will give a protected course for freight and passenger transportation extending from Boston harbor through Long Island Sound and thence by canal across to Delaware Bay, to Chesapeake Bay and so on through the sounds of North and South Caro- llIld anu perhaps Idl6I caSIOoo I AOA AHe' to the Gulf of Mexico. Such an ave- nue of communication will be likely to put New England in position to re- ceiye Alabama coals, whose price is now prohibitive on account of the necessarily high railroad charges. The improvement of the Connecticut and Merrimac rivers above the cities of Hartford and Haverhill respective ly, so that the other places in those valleys may receive coal and similar heavy freights from the sea without breaking cargo is another vital ,propo- sltion, and many minor projects are contemplated.
 And So forth and so on. Great days ahead. Let us go hopefully toward them.

My Own -Four walls.

The storm and night are on the waste, Wild through the wind the herdsman
 calls, As fast on willing nag I haste Home to my own four walls. Black, tossing clouds, with scarce a
 glimmer
 Envelop earth like sevenfold pals; But wifekin watches, coffee pot doth
 simmer
 Home in my own four walls. 4 home and wife I too have got, A hearth to blaze whateer befalls; What needs a man that I have not Within my own four walls. King George has palaces of pride, And armed grooms must ward those
 halls; With one stout bolt I safe abide Within my own four walls. Not all his men may sever this; It yields to friends, not monarchs'
 calls; My whinstone house my castle Is, I have my own four walls When fools or knaves do make a rout With gigmen, dinners balls, cabals I turn my back and shut them out These are my own four walls. The moorland house, though rude it be- May stand the brunt when proudei

.AN 1NTEkEs1rNe SI1U4rIoN.

Kansas City has a Civic league which has been making 1t warm for grafters and spells politicians. Before each municipal election 1t publishes life records of candidates and advises the voters to elect certain candidates and to reject certain others, In the last two municipal campaigns the league has been conspicuously successful, sending into retirement a number of unfit officials who were popular with the political workers. AS the workers did not feel that they could stand this they got the legislature to pass a law which provides that leagues, commit tees, associations or societies, incorpo- rated or unincorporated, formed for the purpose of Investigating the character, fitness or qualifications of candidates or nominees for public office, and mak- ing reports on the same, shall in each and every printed or published report or recommendation as to Candidates or nominees state in full on what facts they base their report or recommends ton, giving the name and address in full of all persons furnishing the in formation of and concerning such can didate or nominee, and state in full the information furnished by such per- sons. Any report or recommendation printed or published by such league, association or society which does not contain all of the above information shall be unlawful, and any person printing, publishing or causing to be printed, published or circulated any such report or recommendation with out such information, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon eonvic- ton, shall be fined in a sum not less than $1oO nor more than $500, or shall be punished by Imprisonment in the county jail for not less than one month nor more than one year, or by both such fine and imprisonment
 If this law holds, of course 1t will put stop to some of the publicity work the Kansas City Civic league has been doing. The league announces that it intends to- continue it's activities, trusting to the courts to hold the law in question unconstitutional, as being special legislation and inconsistent with the guaranties of free speech.

nent effect, that of strengthening the forces of fair play and decent conduct. Practically the great progress made by the State of Connecticut, and the cit les of the State, during the past twen- ty-five years owes it's inception and it's inspiration to agitation in some form or other. The agitation of certain ideas of government by the governor, while it has not brought about the achievement of those ideas, has cer- tainly given them a sure achievement in the future. Nor have the people alone been taught their justice and value, which is essential to the progress of any movement undertaken in their behalf. Those who have for so many years successfully blocked their advance are rearranging the furniture in their political household preparatory to new life when the changes come. When the people of Connecticut cease to agitate they will cease to under- stand, and they will cease to develop the kind of man in office who is be- coming more and more necessary as the State grows in material interests and population.
 Whether the New Haven railroad is guilty of the charges brought against it in the general assembly, whether other trolley charterists have sinned against the golden rule, whether the propriety of a State senator acting in office as a promoter for private inter- ests is defenslble or not, whether the legislature has forgotten the attitude of the public toward excessive grants of power, or whether the air is filled with stage dust, kicked up for the pur- pose of fooling somebody, the State of Connecticut will In the end be the
 galner therefrom. What is actually evil in what has been done will be recognized and in the future be avoid-
 ed by the evil ones themselves, and all
 on account of the agitation to which we have referred. It has been tonic.

TALK ABOUT ANNUAL SESSIONS

TALK ABOUT ANNUAL SESSIONS,
 Tn this year of grace, disgrace and much talk the talk has got started in Connecticut that the State would do well to return to the system of annual sessions of the legislature, which 1t cheerfully abandoned, and which many of the States have also cheerfully abandoned.
 We have no idea that this talk will amount to any more than much of the other talk that is vexing the ambient air. When the people of Connecticut made the change to biennial sessions they were heartily tired of annual ses- sions. There were, to be sure, few who said, and seemed to believe, that by voting for biennial sessions the people were voting away their liberties There are always 8 few who say and seem to believe that the people are do- ing that, however they vote. But the liberties have so far been preserved in fairly good order, and the great right of free speech is even now being exer- cised in a way that might, or might not, have delighted the founders of the republic. They certainly couldn't deny That the sneech is free
 Those who are agitating, or being agitated, for annual sessions don't give any good reason for 8 return to them Perhaps an explanation of that is that there isn't any. Annual sessions mean nothing but double trouble and double expense, or more, with no improvement in the legislation, and no improvement in the grip the people have on power. That was clearly seen after annual ses- sions had been abandoned and would be clearly seen again if there were a return to them.
 There are some who go nigh to think, in view of the way legislation does and does not go on, that instead of return to annual sessions there should be an advance to quadrennial sess ons. But their disgust is perhaps not very healthy. Biennial sessions 1 seem to be about right. They don't take power away from the people and they make all the laws that are needed, and repeal some of those that are not needed.

There are still other details of the law as proposed, which are meritorious in the extreme, such as the duty of auto.sts on the highway when animals are frightened, and the manner in which trials shall be conducted, but they need not be reviewed here. It is enough to say that the determination of the State of Connecticut to keep a level head in treating with large and respectable class is source of great satisfaction.

LIFE CAN'T BE ALWAYS MAY.

LIFE NANT1 6 T. s6 G " 4 Ih q
 What is so rare as day in May? Yesterday apparently started out to be 8 day in May, but 1t soon changed into a kind of mitigated dog-day. Such is New England weather in this season, which the almanacs and the poets say Is Spring, and which, if 1t is Spring, is about as badly sprung Spring as has been sprung on this region. Filled with these thoughts, as Lecturer Stoddard used to say, let us pass on to the rest of May. We shall probably yet be able to go a Maying without rubber boots, overcoats and umbrellas If not we can refrain from going, and be buoyed up with the reflection that life can't be always May. Once we might have been sorry that it couldn't. But even a sentimental song with the line, Life can't be always May" in 1t would seem sardonic now. If sentimental songs must be sung it would be well to sing one which says Life can't be always June" That might seem sarcastic in June, but it will have the elements of hope and probability in it during the rest of this month, and hope and prob ability are what we have to live on.

JoHN BRowN,s BIRTHDAY.

The Toliver Wiling Workers club of the Shiloh Baptist church of the city of Hartford gave social Thursday evening in honor of the 1O7th birthday of John Brown. Among the speakers was the Rev Dr. Clayton Powell of this city, whose subject was "The Un- yelled Hero" He said that the three greatest Americans were Fred Doug lass, William Lloyd Garrison and John Brown, and the greatest of these was John Brown. Washington, Grant and Lincoln came trailing afterward.
 There is little cause for regret that a minister of the gospel, and in par- ticular one from the City of Films, should thus extol John Brown not wlthstanding the results of his en- forced convictions. John Brown was a lawyer and knew that he was break ing the law when he substituted im- pulse for judgment, To place in the Hall of Fame, as the greatest of all a man who deliberately broke the law and knew he broke it. no matter what the consequences, is scarcely the way to train up young America, who is taking his first lesson in intelligent shooting. The one thing to be more and more insisted upon in this coun- try is observance of the law, and de- pendence upon it under all circum- stances.
