ANOTHER BACK BROKEN.

There is intense excitement in the District of Columbia over the fatali- ties of football, three players having had their backs broken there since the season opened--a player from the University of Virginia having been tho victim in Saturdays game, and the district is on the point of abol- ishing the game from its precincts.
 The brutality of the game is sim ply indefensible, and many of the greatest players recognize this fact. Coach Stagg, of the University of most prominent football experts in the country, has taken the lead in an effort to reform the game by the eiim- ination of dangers that have become apparent He points out something that was predicted when the game was reformed" two years ago, by the in- troduction of what is known as the forward pass" and says practically that this intended betterment has in- troduced a conspicuous danger. He would remove this danger in some way and advocates tentatively exemption from interference of the player in the forward pass" after the manner in which the player who is after the punt is safeguarded. Coach Stagg remarks in this connection that "there is hardly a team whose extremity men have not been put out of one or more games on account of the forward pass"
 The debrutalizing of the game ap- pears to have made it more rather than less dangerous to the players, A real reform is certainly needed.

THE NEW LlouoR LAW WORKING

The Bridgeport Telegram says the county commissioners of Fairfield county and the judges of the local cours have acted with conspicuous wisdom in immediately making effec- of the liquor business.
 The commissioners have refused to grant licenses near the factories and workshops. and The Telegram declares there is absolutely no excuse for So ordering the licensing of a city that a working man shall find saloon ready to swallow up his weekly pay as soon as he leaves the factory and before he has any chance to share 1t with his family"
 Calling attention to other cases, The Telegram says:
 "On single day. Judge Walsh CT the court of common pleas sentenced a Greenwich saloonkeeper to jail Tor sixty days and fined him hundred dollars for persistently violating the liquor laws. He also put into opera tion the law passed by the last legs lature according to which such offend- CTS lose their licenses, forfeit their pOLQ Ol %oOO cAO AOA DAa0~h W again engage in business in Connecti- cut until the number of saloons has been reduced to one for every five hundred people. Judge Walsh also sentenced Danbury man who had appealed his case to a fine of $125 and costs, which was an advance upon rae sentence he had originally received in the Danbury city court. A third of fender from Norwalk was deprived of his license upon the same day and barely escaped jail sentence. Alto gether, the way of the transgressor, if he happened to be a liquor dealer. was decidedly hard"
 The new law is operating well in that end of the state, and let us hope that should cases come up in this part of the state that the law will be equally well suppored.

THE CRANBERRY NOT POPULAR
 ABROAD.

The exporters of cranberries do not receive much encouragement from foreign countries to attempt to intro- duce these tart winter berries into general use, for the report .comas to us that the inhabitants of Englano, France and Germany uneducated to the vistues and the gastrononlc joys of the cranberry, turn up their noses ct 1t and decline to be converted to its use.
 In France we are told the fruit is regarded. when used as a sauce with turkey or other fowl as "a mid form of barbarism;" while in Germany, where there is apparently some arpre- citation of the berry. it is taxed (when imported from America) at the rate of half cent a pound.
 America ought to be able to take care of the entire crop. Tho Providence Journal eotS not overestima.e its good qualities or value when it says.
 When ether fruits pail on the taste the cranberry retains it's subtle charm, mingled sweet and bitter such as few other berries djffuse. There are those who prefer 1t to any other fruit Irrespective of it's traditional employ ment at the Thanksgiving festival. It is appetizipg. refreshing and satisfy ing. To it's attraction for the palate 1t adds its charm for the eye, for nothing that comes on the table dis plays a more beautiful hue"
 When this century opened the peo- pie of America were using a million bushels year, and S5,oo0.0o0 appre- ciative people ought to find 1t possi- ble to consume several times that amount of fruit every year.

A MotfrL ApnIe orchard.

Tn the November Outlook is a most interesting and finely illustrated article about the apples and orchards in the far west It is well known here that right here in our midst is an apple orchard that would surprise those who are not aware of the progress of fruit cultivation in New England. We refer to that of Hale & Coleman in Oxford. on the edge of Seymour. Hale & Cole man are generally and widely known in the raising of peaches, but their apple orchard of some thousands of trees. which this year began its annual yield, small now, so that this year but about 800 barrels were packed. but such ap- ples! Perfect in form and color. and of .lange size. In a year or two more, thousands of barrels may be gathered Just such orchards. as this can be grown in most any part of Connects cut. and indeed of New England, if the proper care is given the trees.--Sey- Tnour Record

GERMAN DAY.

A day which seems destined to be- come nationally observed is the day under this title, which occurs on Oc- tober 9th in each year, and at the west is quietly observed to commem- crate the landing of the first Ger mans under the leadership of Pastorl- us at Germantown in 1883. Writing to the Milwaukee Journal upon the significance of this anniversary, Max Griebsch says: The motives that move the German-Americans to pro- vide for this annual celebration arc many. They are mainly based on the higher attributes of their heritage of German ideals. Every man must feel that the good which arises in him in the history of his past and of the past of those who brought him into this world. German day is therefore the outpour of our love and apprecia- tion of all that we owe to the country of our birth, to our fatherland. Only short-sighted people will blame us for it, and only such in our own ranks will not participate in upholding and nourishing this sentiment who are either thoughtless or whose heart is hardened by the chase after the al- mighty dollar. which has stifed all other deeper and nobler feelings; still others may believe that an adherence to the country which they have gi 'en up is incompatible with what they owe to the country of their adoption. If these only would realize that they can serve our great country in no better way than by treasurlng all that they have taken along of the vast store of German accomplishments as the highest gifts they ever will be able to bestow upon this country.
 "The founding of the National Ger Enan-Amertcan alliance is to he well comed as a patriotic move whlcn will beneft our nation as a whole. It has this one great purpose to preserve German ideals and German princi- ples. in order that all that we consd- or good and wholesome little by little be transplanted and become an integ- ral part of our national character"
 There is no reason why ths Ger mans should not have a special <esti- val. or why they should nor perpetu- ate the cherished principles of the fatherland. In this land of liberty we stand for a square deal for all

A LINE SHOULD BE DRAWN.

This putting a plaster over the mouth of the enlisted man in this state will make trouble. What. asks the Hartford Courant, shall such a man do when elected to the legisla- ture, as numbers are at every session, and questions of public policy come up involving military matters? Shall he shut up like clam or speak out without fear or favor? And that is only one of many situations where the enlisted man may feel that he cannot be gagged by a. military order. We do not countenance nor advise disobedi- ence on the part of the militia of the state, but the men who issue general orders must discriminate a little. This seems like making the militia "regu- lar' in the matter of discipline when they cannot be brought up to the reg ular standards otherwise.-Bridgeport Standard.

The question arises how much volunteer in the service of the state guards surrenders when he signs the papers. If he agrees to become a men, tai blank-a non-observing cipher the present conduct of the comman- der is all right; but The Bulletin is inclined to the opinion that voluntary enlistment leaves large proportion of the citizen free-that he does not surrender right of opinion and right of action along other lines than those strictly military-that the military censor here is different from the mill itary censor in any other country, and if the commissioned authority does not realize this it is time someone else was selected to draw the proper line. A man should be Connecticut soldier without being any less of a man or being gagged concerning mat ters which it is his right to speak of as good citizen. .-AA-.
