FEWER SALOONS.

There is no cause for regret that the
legislature has passed the bill limiting
the saloons to one for every 500 of
the population. That means IA less
saloons for Norwich in the end, and
also that men who are now caught
violating the law will be put per-
manently out of business.
The measure intends no injury to
those engaged in the traffic, but pro-
vides for gradual reformation upon
more rational and more decent lines.
IL puts the man who doesn't respect the
law out of business the moment he is
proved to be guilty. No new licenses
are to be granted for applicants until
the number has been brought down to
the new limit.
How long it viii take to work down
the present number with the present
privileges of appeal from the decision
of the county commissioners, and the
courts delays which enable miscre-
ants to do a business without a Ii
cetse for months at time, remains to
be seen. The provision of the law
which permits this sort of perform
ance certainly ought to be amended

men who are under the ban of con-

being, or of a wholesome respect for
the law.
This law puts all the saloon keepers
upon their mettle. They must have
care and obey the laws, or out of
business they must go. 1t will be in
teresting to note whether this new
condition prompts them to a closer
observance Of the law and a more
careful conduct of their business.

the house rates. But II is impossible
to take either the house or the senate
as standard The only standard is
necessarily the present law, and from
that large number of decreases have
been made, and the result of the con-
ference between the house and the
senate will be to maintain these and,
on the whole, think, to increase them
in number.
This continual assertion of revis-
ion upward is entirely without founda-
ton. Wherever changes have been
made the great body of them has been
toward lower rates.
What are some Of the more no.
ticeable decreases, you ask? Well, the
metal schedule has been decreased
throughout. There has also been a
decrease throughout in chemicals. The
wool schedule thus far is unchanged,
but if it shows any change when it
comes out of the conference 1t will be
a change downward.
THE cotton schedule, concerning
which so much has been said, if it is
retained as the senate has passed it,
extends the specifics to new classes,
but does not alter the ad valorem rate
OF the present, law.
There have been decreases in lum-
Der, in print paper, and in wood pulp,
and in many of the sundries, which
embraces a very large class of articles.
Liquors and wines have been in
creased 10 per cent. all along the line
for revenue purposes. The tobacco
schedule is unchanged, and that, of
course, in the main, is a revenue
schedule.
The fish schedule, which is of great
interest to Massachusetts,, is practi-
cally unchanged. The rates in it are
very low In the present law.
with regard to some of the items
which have attracted most attention:
THE present rate in lumber is 50
a thousand. The house cut it to 81
$1.50. which insures a large reduction
in that item.
'eThe rate on iron ore is now 40 cents
ton. The house made it Free and
the senate put it at rs cents ton.
This difference, then, is to be settled
in conference, and to be settled be-
tween no duty and rs cents.
The senate put wood pulp at the
same rate as the house, one-twelfth
of cent.
Print paper the house reduced from
Sc to 81 ton, and the senate made
it "a.
Hides the house made free, and the
senate restored the existing duty of Is
per cent. What the result of the con-
ference on this will be I can't say.
Personally / hope that the position
Of the house will prevail.
TT is foolish to hail each separate
article as it comes from the senate as
though 1t were the whole tariff. The
whole result as it comes from the con-
ference between the two bodies will
be the law and that will be generally

Mrs. Delanceys purple silk, you see,

perfectly beautiful that night, and she

they'd have been married before next
fall, when he goes to London to take
charge of his fathers branch office.
Think what that would have meant to
Sallie!

''This talk of revision upward is
wrong. The whole movement of the
tariff revision has been downward.
When the bill was reported from
the senate committee it contained 379
decreases and less than 40 increases,
and of the increases at least one-haif
were on luxuries, such as wine, toilet
soap and perfumery. Fifteen others
were in the agricultural schedule.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
John Mitchell May Be Reseusr

1t is something when a man like
John Mitchell, the labor leader, speak
ing at great gathering of people like
that at the recent anniversary celebra-
ton at Norwich in this state, and cpl
ten1izing the position Of the labor un-
ion in the social evolution of the ma
ton. puts the meaning of it above
wages, above shorter hours and on the
plane of high principle and good citi-
zenship Mr.. Mitchell Is reported by
The Norwich Bulletin as follows:
Vice President Mitchell referred to
the martyrs who had brought to the
cause the blessings Of God, and brought
IL out that organized labor stood for
more than higher wages and shorter
hours, viz. Higher citizenship, better
manhood. riobler womanhood and the
defense of the helpless child"

An Educator.

It is safe guessing that the average
person in Norwich knows a lot more
about the city in which he lives than
he did before the celebration.
The various pageants, the universal
placarding of historic places about the
town. will give an impetus to historical
research among old and young.
This is one of the admirable results
Of such undertakings which is some
times lost sight of. Many things in
geography and history will take on
new significance for the school chill
dren and what perhaps seemed at one
time fiat, stale and improbable may
now become actually interesting and
worth while. Such an event Is a good
thing to develop civic pride and make
a man have respect and admiration for
the place where he ives.-Meriden
