s
Connecticut now has a Governor Pre-
| tenn, in the person OF Lieut.. Gov.
Weeks of MiddletowE. He has become
such by virtue OF action by the Gen
eral Assembly, and it is not probable
that any one will question the prop
riety or the legality of such action. The
State constitution does not provide for
such contingencies as the present one
Governor, located within the State
but incapacitated for the duties of his
office. In the case of a Governors
death, resignation, refusal to serve, re-
noval from office, impeachment or alb
sence from the State. the constitution
provides for the succession, but does
not provide for such a condition as
now exists.
1t is to be hoped that the respite
from official duties, with skilled med
ical attention and nursing, will restore
Gov. Lilley to good health.

a LIVING LESSON


The colds won, as predicted. in the
contest over the City Court appoint
mcnts, and the "Youngs"-the "disaf-
tested Republican faction as deserib-
ed by Representative Clark-go down
paee again to defeat, but an honor
hBSe defeaf, for they carried the Jul

without intending any depreciation
OF the merits Of Messrs. Foster and
Wnder, the FARMER has, from the COM
menceInent of this contest, sympathiz-
ed with the 'sYoungs." They consti-
lutte the progressive element of their
party, they have fought with courage
and in manly fashion; they have not
sdescended to trickery, as often does
the other faction; they have asked for
nothing unreasonable, but merely for
an adequate share of the "loaves and
6ahes,s and have been almost invar-
fabzy refused: despite such treatment.
they have rspulied straight" as the OPP
posing faction would not have done un-
der similar conditions: they have de-
served and have fairly earned the rec
oenition which has been denied. They
furnish q living lesson of the strength
OF Republican discipline, and also an
object lesson OF its arbitrary penalties.

Representative Dougal of Washing
E. Wright as Secretary of War show
ing that Mr.. Dougal was in the service
as a military telegrapher from No
vember 25, 1854, to August 81, 1866. He
lost an arm in the assault on Fort
Wagner in 1863 and then studied tele-
graphy to such purpose that he was
able to enter the service as tele-
grapher before the end of the war.
He was in charge of a line running out

The police of New York city are en-
forcing the law against automobile
speeding, and the courts are imposing
comparatively severe penalties. In
cases which were tried on Wednesday,
fines were imposed upon a basis of $25
for first offence, $50 for second and 500
for third. These fines are not large
enough to deter millionaires and their
chauffeurs from violating the law, but
there is a possibility that when fines
are found insufficient for the protec-
ton of the public, jail sentences will
follow, as they should.
Hartford has also taken up the mat
ter, but so far the enforcement of the
law is limited to taking the numbers
of chronic Offenders and sending warm
ings to them. This is probably prelim-
mary to prosecutions.
Every city should proceed on similar
lines, lest the prediction of a Massa
chusetts man, that pedestrians may
soon be subject to classification as
"the quick and the dead reaches full
hlment.
