No Sian of Unssemly Haste.

The legislature is at it again today. The weather is no worse than it was two weeks ago; it is a little better, if anything, and the capitol is not an es-
 peciaIly hot building. That the work will be finished this week is beyond reasonable hope; if the legislature fin- ishes it's work this month it will do well. But there is no occasion for hurry and no sign of unseemly haste. There is just a spirit of application to busi- ness. What a pity that the order of legislatures in this respect cannot be reversed. It would shorten sessions if that spirit became busy in March rath- CT than in July.-New Haven Register.
