Too Many Commissioner,

Now if we are able to sense the feel ing among the common people, entire ly regardless of the partisan politics, it is that those little political favors should not possess a life tenure, for they believe that the state is full of bright young men who are just as com petent to draw those fascinating sal- aries as are those who are holding down the jobs year after year. It is for these reasons. as we believe, that the plain people want to see less com missions, and if a public utilities bill is passed they want to see it displace enough other commissions to make am- pie room for it, which they believe the present bill does not. We believe that this uneasy feeling is a growing one, and unless republican leaders watch cut it will grow into democratic gov ernor.-Willimantic Journal.

The next thing that I knew a light flashed before my eyes, and a wonan's face peered at me through the dark ness. Twas Lavina-on her way to parish meeting.

CIRCULATION
ART oN THE CAPITOL.

The decision of the Platt memorial commission tU make the bronze figure of Senator Platt in a round frame to match that of Senator Hawley will give general satisfaction to the people. The two figures will be kept in per- feet harmony and will make an art exhibit creditable to the sculptors and the commissioners.
 Referring to this decision, The Courant says:
 "The north front of the capital is being so finely embellished with the work Of the best sculptors that eventually it will be one of the choice reason for the fame of this city and state. The wise foresight that started this project planned most judiciously for the cultivation of the beautiful at the state capitol. Placing these two great senators of Connecticut in the midst of such artistic surroundings gives them the place of honor in the whole building. Nothing inside would be so suitable or ornamental, and no place inside has adequate light for showing at it's best a really fine thing It Is also singularly appropriate that the two men who worked together for twenty-four years should be physi- cally associated in the minds of all visitors to the capitol, so that who- ever approaches the building shall see both when he sees either. In death they are not divided
 Different as they were in all re- spects, mentally and physically, they had, no quarrels or rivalries during theit quarter century of public serv ice. Senator Platt was the only man whom the state ever elected to the senate live times and Senator Hawley was the only other man the state ever elected four times. They were great powers at Washington, each supple menting the other. It is altogether fit that men of such unique records and such high characters should be thus memorialized. and, with the leading sculptors of the country en- gagged upon the work, there is no doubt that We shall have not only likenesses but artistic roductions-worthy of their inspiring subjects"

The Middletown Sun, just out of it's toddling clothes, is standing by the ed itorial chair and lisping that it's first year has concluded satisfactorily and that it feels almost on a level with the oldest and best of its contempo- raries. The Sun has @ good voice and speaks up with precocity which leaves no doubt that it is something of a prodigy and knows it. The Sun is no yellow kid, but conducts itself in an upright fashion and gives prom ise of a brilliant career. Some papers wait until they are old enough to grow a mustache before they com mence to point to the stability of their foundation or tbe excellence of their character; but The Sun has taken a serious look at itself on its first birth day and concluded that it is good.

The Best That Can Be Said.

If N'irz were to be tried today ai- lowances would be made for his dif- ficult position which could not be made in 1865. He would not be sent to the gallows, but he would not es- cape punishment. Even admitting that he ought not to have been hanged, the United Daughters of the Confederacy cannot make a hero or a martyr of him. He never showed a vestige of sympathy for the brave men who were in his custody. He was an unfeeling and sometimes brutal jailer. As this is the best history will condescend to say of him, and as there are thou sands of northern homes where his name is odious, the Daughters of the Confederacy were guilty of poor Judgment and bad taste in giving him monument. The south should disoWn him and ask that his name be. orgotten.-Chicago Tribune.

HE COMES IN FOR PRAISE.

Governor Draper of Massachusetts Is receiving warm commendation from various quarters for vetoing the eight hour bill passed by the legislature. md some of 1t comes from outside of lhe state. The Providence Journal, commenting upon his action, says:
 There Is no reason for state inter- ference with the hours of unskilled laborers, and regulation of hours re- Tardless of market conditions does the workman no particular good and wastes the money of taxpayers. A nine or ten-hour day for men who use picks and shovels is not too long. and contractors have no difficulty in fnd- Ing laborers anxious to work more fhan the eight hours demanded by Inc representatives of labor unions When individuals find 1t necessary or expedient to grant an eight-hour dav It will be in order for city and state governments to follow their example. but until conditions change a dollar of public money should bring as large m equivalent in labor as a dollar of private, money"
 The justice of this comment is self apparent. Men who really desire to work long days for more money should not be compelled to work fewer hours at less aggregate compensation, and this is the effect of such a law upon the non-union masses, who are in a great majority The overworked man and the underworked lout are both to be avoided. The happy minimum-the comfortable days work with satisfac- tory compensation-is best for those who work and those who employ la- bor. An equal purchasing power of the dollar is the only just condition.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Correct.

As our southern contemporaries come in with accounts of the dedication of the monument to Wirz of Anderson vile, and editorial comments thereon. we get the impression that they are not altogether comfortable in their minds and conscience about 1t. But we may be sure that the thousands of dead Union soldiers, lying near, who died under his charge, dreadful deaths in most cases, are serenely indifferent to what is done by ardent partisans to patch up his disordered frame, what ever the survivors of that prison pen may feel. The monument Is there and those who object to 1t must try to for get It. Let history take care of the man.-Waterbury American.
