s'COURANT'S'' VIEW
 OF STOLEN BALLOT
Hartford courant, Sept. 16.)


 In the rush and hurry of reporting a day-long convention for yesterday s Courant some incidents necessarily came in for less notice than would have otherwise been given to them. That episode of the now historic "bal- lot on the foor' was one of these de- tails. It is far from a creditable story to tell of a Republican convention. but it ought to come out.
 Charles D. Moves Of Norwich. one of the men who urged, Goodwin to en- that one of the men who worked hard est against him, taking up the cause of Lake most energetically, was made a teller of the convention. He was not a delegate, and, even if the managers of the convention selected him in good faith, he, as a veteran politician. knew that he had no right in the position He was in no way connected with the convention.
 He sat at the table with the other tellers but did no counting. One of the others. who is quick at figures. went Goodwin has 1t by ten majority At that Moves jumped up. and. profess ing that he had found another ballot, clared that there were too many ball lots, as he had found this one the floor. MT. Hill told Moves that he would not entertain any such objection and that he should announce MT. Goodwin as nominated by ten major ity. Moreover, MT. Hill took the ballot brought by Moves and put it in his pocket. That disposed of the t'found'' ballot. But soon afterward Moves found" another and took this one to General Keeney. one of the tell CTS.

It is not pretty story, but, so long as The Courant is a Re publican paper, it will expose such do- ings in a Republican convention.

The UnhurnaIed Valet.

The Duke Of Cambridge was once about to visit Lord Stratford, who had been appointed ambassador to Turkey. At an early hour on the morning of his expected arrival the ambassador went, in slippers and dressing gown, to see if the rooms were in perfect or der. He found that the dukes valet had arrived and was arranging his masters trunks and portmanteaus. Stratford gave some directions how they should be placed. The man left of working and stared at the intruder.
 ''I tell you what it is,'' he said. 'I know how his royal highness likes to have his things arranged better than you do. So you just be off, will you, old fellow?''
 Lord Stratford left in a towering passion Calling one of his attaches he ordered him to go in and tell the man whom he had addressed in such language The attache returned with twinkling eyes.
 What did you say?'' asked the am bassador
 ''I said to him, my lord, that the per son he had ventured to address such language to was her majesty's repre- sentative to Turkey"
 ''Ah, quite right. And his answer"

CONGRESSMAN E. J.
 HILLS DEFENSE OF
 PAYNE-ALDRICH TARIFF
Mew Haven Union1

After listening to the speech of Temporary Chairman E.. J. Hill be- fore the Republican convention in Hartford, we can more easily under stand why Maine went Democratic. If there Is any defense for the Payne AIdTich tariff bill certainly it could find no better defender than MT. Hill. He is one of the ablest Republicans on the House ways and means con~ 1nittee. Yet Tuesday night the best word he could voice for the Payne bill was that sft was the best we could get-therefore, give us another chance and we will do better"
 It is impossible in the short space of an ordinary editorial to point out all the sophistries of MT. Hill It is easy to voice error; but it takes twice as long to scotch it.
 One characteristic instance, however, may suffice to- show the failure of MT Hil1's attempt to defend the tar tiff bill. Those. who 5heard his ad- dress will remember how he spoke of President McKfn1ey's pronunciamento of about nine years ago that the Ding ley schedules should be reviSed;s that the tariff should be lowered. It was not until seven years had elapsed. from the time that President Mo- Kinley made this courageous adnis- sion in his last public utterance that the Republican party bestirred itself inbehalf of tariff revision,l Yet in all of these seven long years the G.

Women Prisoners In Japan.

The cells in every Japanese prison are practically sleeping dormitoEtess as the prisoners are eneaged in the work sheds ali day or attending lectures and lessons in educational subjects, de- pertinent and morality. The small Jap anese woman prisoner is even taught how to serve tea properly, because the Japanese have grasped the fundamen- tai truth that whatever raises a wom- ans self respect helps to eliminate bad habits-in a word, to reform her. The keen zest of the prisoners in Japan contrasts with the hopeless, hunted look of our women prisoners in Eng land. In Japan the women prisoners are learning, learning, learning all the time. They are given prizes and deco rative rewards for excellence. They are being encouraged instead of re- pressed. Everything is done to fnstnl a real desire for permanent reform London Express

P had control of every branch of the national government and there was a widespread clamor for tariff revision downward At best it must be admitted, therefore, that the Re publican party gave a most tardy recognition to the last wishes of President Mckinley.
 When they did revise the tariff we still insist despite MT. Hills asser- tions, that it was not downward. MT. Hill admits in many respects abnor= mal1y high He admits that the Payne bill is not perfect; in fact, that it wassso badly ernasculated in con- ference that the President, himself, had ito call a halt on the slaughter. But Mr. Hill insists that the Payne schedules are in the main lower than the Dlngley schedules, and he falls back on five or six bills of fare which he contends prove his case. Briefly summarized, these menu cards show under the Payne tariff bill are con- cerned that three of the articles on the bills of fare were raised, about six lowered and about 27 remained the same. In other words, over 70 per cent of the articles on these bills of fare still bear the excessive duties imposed under the excessive Dingley schedules Only Is per cent have been lowered, and these mostly on articles of little consumption. Over 10 per cent have been. raised. Yet the fact that the Dingley schedules were too high, calls this revision downward.
 We appeal from MT Hills tumble of statistics and patent sophistries to the experience of the average house.

Not whet He ssemed.

Lieutenant General J. M. Grierson tells an amusing story of some maneu vers in which he took part. Only a small body of troops were being ac- tuaIly employed. and skeleton forces were the rule-in other words, small bodies of men represented whole divi- sions. General Grierson with his staff was riding along a lane when he sud denly came upon one of the enemy s pickets sitting calmly by the roadside Quickly the general rode up to him and said:
 t'You are my prisoner; you had better surrender
 The man grinned and pointed to a flag beside him.

rharurkietl poetorE oath.

Tn Turkey they have a Hippocraflc oath, though they do not call it by that name. It is given in Al-Kulliyeh, the magazine published by the Syrian Protestant college in Beirut To each of the graduates in medicine the oath was administered by the Turkish head of the medical examining board. We cite few of the pledges:
 ''rhat when I am called at the same time by two different patients, the one rich and the other poor, I will accept the call of the poor without taking into consideration the money offered and will do my best for his treatment. and that I will never decline to an- swer any call, day or night, during the reign of cohsmon diseases or of an epidemicRor Of contagious diseases.

A policeman was entertaining sumo friends to an afternoon tea, when one of them, with an 1nquisItive turn of mind, happened to see on shelf a glass shade, underneath which was a brick, with some flowers upon it.
 The friend, thinking they were me mentos of some heroic deeds or were perhaps of some historical interest, asked the policeman why he kept that brick underneath the glass shade

Wise Men of Gotham.

A "wise man of Gotham is a fool, but the phrase arose through the real wisdom of the people that lived in the English town of Gotham. The story goes that King John of England once visited the town with the intention of seeing a castle that he thought of talk ing for himself But the Gotha mites did not care for the nearness of roy a1ty and the expense they would be put to if the king should have house there, and so they cooked up scheme to drive him away. When the king ar rived with his company of followers and rode through the town he saw all the inhabitants of Gotham going through the most foolish of tasks, each person with a silly smile on his face. The king Was disgusted with them. He would not live among crazy people, and so he rode on through the town and did not stop for the castle. Then the wise men of Gotham, still smiling, but not in a silly fashion, told one an other that there were more fools that passed through Gotham than remain in it

Wounds of the Heart.

In wounds of the heart itself the es- cape of blood is never in large quanti- ty, and the lethal consequences are due to the fact that the escape of blood from within its cavity or cavities into the surrounding sac of the peri cardfum mechanically interrupts the alternate contraction and expansion by which it's pumping action is maintain ed. Accordingly the results of the wound of the heart are usually 1dend- cal with those of gradual suhocation.

Religious persecution as such was unknown under the Romans. The Christians were regarded as seditious. In denying the divinity of the Cae- sars and the Roman gods they were guilty of high treason in Roman eyes and were accordingly punished. But their punishment had no religious sig nif1cance whatever. The Christians were peEsecuted not because they were

 State of Connecticut,

 Hartford, Sept. 15, 1910. Chairman Board of Assessors: practically creates a. continuous board sirable for the tax lists to be printed and ready for distribution on October 1. This Is the date given in the stat ute on which property is listed for tax atfon purposes. and any taxpayer should have the privilege of making out such a list, in accordance with his convenience on after that date until November 1, as provided.
 It would seem quite advantageous that the board of assessors should, if possible, be in session or available on election day at a convenient point near the voting place, so that those who wish can secure lists or hand in and make oath to the same at that time. This ought to be of definite conven- fence to a large number of taxpayers and to the assessors. Further, it would seem proper, also, for you to post your notice. and cause the same to be printed in a newspaper as soon as convenient without waiting for the annual election.
 I trust you will agree with me that the suggestions as indicated above are practical and desirable and that you will be able to act accordingly.
 Yours very truly,
