The controversy amongst republi- cans for the presidential nomination is not so much for individuals. or policies, but for spoils. There is, of course the natural ambition of indi- viduals to be considered: but under heath that is the more important question of the issues that the re- publican party will be bound for, and which faction shall distribute the offices. The question. therefore, of what individual will be nominated is not of so much consequence as which faction he will represent. If Secre- tary Taft. or Senator La Toilette is nominated he will be supposed to carry out the Roosevelt policies. If Speaker Cannon. or Fairbanks, or Foraker. or Knox is nominated. the Roosevelt policies will be placed in cold storage and the old republican machine and methods as represented by the Mckinley administration will be on top again. II will not make much difference to the people. but it will make a vast difference to the republican politicians which faction wins out. for all the vast patronage of the United States government is at stake. The congressional elections will have much more effect upon measures than who is to execute them. Any republican congress will be bound to the policy of con- tinued tarif protection. and even if Roosevelt should be reelected. by any unlocked for turn of the political wheel. his administration would be again bound. as it has since he was first inaugurated. to protect the trusts about as they now are protect cd by the tariff. although a show of tariff revision might be attempted.

ABOUT GAME BIRDS.
Money From Hunters Licenses Will
 Be Used for Their Protection.

The members of the fish and game commission held the regular weekly meeting in the state Capitol Tuesday. Routine business was transacted.
 The attention of the commission CTS has been directed to statement published in some newspapers in the state to the effect that they intend to spend some of the money derived from hunters licenses, amounting in all to about s20,000, for the propa- gation and protection of shell fish, principally.
 Commissioner George T. Mathew son, speaking for himself and his colleagues, Commissioners Crampton and Geer, gave the statement a flat and unqualified denial. Commis- sioner Mathewson said that not a penny of the money received from li- censes will be used for any purpose other than that of propagating and protecting game birds. He said that already the commissioners have made contracts for the stocking of the woods with game birds next spring. One of the contracts is for the im- portation of several thousand Hun garian cartridges in the spring. This bird is very prolific and is a superior game bird. The commissioners have already constructed and placed a number of sheds throughout the state for the protection and propagation of quail. In the northern part of the state a number of birds that flew away from Forest park, Springfield, have located
 In regard to pheasants this state has not been exactly noted for the number found in the woods. The. con- missioners are giving the matter of protecting pheasants and increasing their number serious attention, and it is more than likely the result of their study and experiment will be an appreciable increase in the num- Der of pheasants in Connecticut. Be- fore the last session of the general assembly the preasants were protected until 1911. By the change in the game law in 1907 they are not afford ed any more protection than that which is given to game birds general lv

 Some parts of Europe are having a hard winter, with cold weather, ice and snow much beyond the usual ex- perience.

 Haywood, Pettibone and Mover have all escaped the death penalty, and there is no doubt that they owe their liberties if not their lives to the unbelievable stories told by Harry Orchard.

 If the democratic party isn't tired Bryan isn't. He says he feels the presidential disease coming on again and he isn't going to dodge it. Some good democrats want MT Bryan to take the rest cure but he won't take it. Some good democrats are deter mined to sidetrack him but he de- clined that assignment. MT Bryan may be beaten but he will not quit New Haven Leader.
 Of late,t name of Governor John- son of Minnesota has become some- what prominent in connection with the democratic presidential nomina- tion. There are even indications that the anti-Bryan sentiment of the south, and particularly in the border states, will crystalize in support of Johnson. The facts that he has twice been elected governor of strongly republican state and that he is very popular throughout the northwest, add greatly to his availability l Bridgeport Farmer.

Spoiled Their WaItzina.

Tn her memoirs Mme. de Boigne gives some interesting glimpses of English social life. For instance, she writes:
 Tn 1SlG no young English lady ven. tured to waltz. The Duke of Devon. shire returned from a tour in Germany and observed one evening at a large ball that a woman was never seen to better advantage than when waltKing l do not know whether he was anx- ious to play a trick, but he repeated this assertion several times. It was passed from mouth to mouth, and at the next ball all the young ladies were waltzing The duke admired them greatly. said that it was delightful and gave proper animation to a ball. He then added carelessly that he, at any rate. had decided never to marry a lady who waItzed It was to the Duchess of Richmond and at Carlton House that he saw it to make thls revelation. The poor duchess. the most clumsy of matchmaking mammas, near ly fell on her chair with horror. She repeated the statement to her neigh bors, who passed it on. and consterna- ton spread from seat to scat. The young ladies continued to waltz with clear consciences. The old ladies were furious. but the unfortunate dance was concluded. Before the end of the even ing the good Duchess of Richmond was able to announce that her daugh- ters felt an objection to waltzing which no persuasion of hers could ever overcome Some few girls of more in- dependence continued to waltz, but the majority gave if up" -

Tobp Sbarn Williams. of MisSiSSip-

John Sharp Williams, of Mississlp- pi. the minority leader of the the house of representatives is the physical antithesis of Secretary Taft, Williams. while very deliberate in all of his actions, is a physical light weight. His overcoat hangs over him like a blanket and a stiff puff of wind would seem likely to blow him away. He had been under a severe strain since congress convened in December and shows the effect of it. In years past, he has lived at one of the prom inent hotels, but this year he took up his residence on Columbia Heights in a private house in order to escape the interruptions incident to hotel life. He is just now about the hard est man in public life in Washington to find. Except when he is in the house, he keeps as much as possible in seclusion. He is not in the most robust health and he has found it necessary, on account of his position in public life, to refrain from ac- tivities in public way so far as may be possible, in order that he may have strength to meet the obligations which he owes his party and to the country. He is one of the most conscientious workers in congress. but her ealizes to the full that the time has come for him to husband his energies. This is a realization that Secretary Taft. too. has reached, and that other prominent public men ultimately reach after an extended experience in the national capital.
