 Chelsea has had trouble enough in the past few months without having its residents killed of by the col lapse of building walls that ought to be put up so they will stay. Evi- dently somebody deserves to spend considerable portion of their life in state prison for being responsible for such faulty construction.-New London Day.
 The straw ballot boiled by cer- tain New York ma ga2ine, which showed that SIS out of $50 of its readers preferred MT Hughes to any other man for governor, may easily indicate more of the intelligence and patriotism of the magazines clien- tele than of the chances of MT Hughes for either renomination or election.-New Haven Register.
 The plan of the democratic nation al committee to collect dollar sub scriptions to the Bryan campaign fund has its drawbacks.

 Owing to a peculiar feature of its charter New Haven must hold spe- cial election next month to choose a successor to Registrar Carr of the vital statistics department. The charter requires that special cleo tion must be held within one month.

 Norwalk republicans are greatly exercised in mind over the question whether State Senator Jerry" Dono- van will accept renomination, or run against MT Hill for congress. Ia the former event they will nominate ex-Lieutenant-Gove Keeler for senator, if he can be induced to ac- cept. Senator Donovan could proba- bly, be reelected over MT Keeler, and should he run for congress, MT Hill will, after election, know that he has been in real contest.-Bridg geport Farmer.

"An expert political speaker is a wonder" writes John T. McCutch- con in the September Appleton s.
 He can make a two-hour speech and never say a thing that he has to take back. He can wave Old Glory until the atmosphere is curdled with en- thusiasm. He can hypnotize an aud fence into thinking that he has made a marvellous speech, and yet no one will remember word that he has said. He can weave a word picture that will make you think of the sing ing of birds and the thinking of fall ing water, but blamed if you can tell what it's all about beyond the fact that you must rush headlong and vote for the Hon James J. Jiggitt for state senator He can paint the wicked trusts in such a vivid and startling way that you must resolve never to use match again or eat food that has sugar in it. He tempers his pub lie utterances to fit the prevailing fashion in public opinion. He diag- noses the direction of the wind, and trims his sails accordingly. The speeches he delivers to the brewers over across the tracks will not sound like the speech that he delivers at the Chautauqua meeting down at Cherry Grove"
