WHAT IT REALLY MEANS.

The republicans under Mayor Lippitt saved a mill to the taxpayers last year which was $12.0o0 earned, and the republicans under the leadership of Albert s. Comstock pledge themselves to conduct city business, doing con- siderable new work and paying cur rent expenses and that is a mill saved or s12.0o0, which the taxpayer can keep in his pocket. In the "taxless city" era of eight years the average tax was over 10 1-2 mills, which is the highest steady tax rate in the his tory of the city, and the republicans have reduced the tax rate, and hope to keep it down. Of course, in mat ters of economy the cooperation of the voters is necessary. Should they vote improvements not included in the estimates no party could keep the ex- penses down or prevent a deficit at the end of the year unless the rate was raised.

SAFE AND SANE FOURTH.
Governor Weeks Quotes John Adams -Favors Games, Oratory and Old Fashioned Firecracker.

In the opinions of governors as to a proper celebration of July Fourth, Sundays New York World had the following from Governor Weeks of COnnecticut:
 In my judgment the so-called cele- bration of Independence. day in a large majority of instances has passed from the sensible and patriotic to the dan gerous and meaningless. I would have the celebration. in whatever form, take place on the Fourth of July and upon that day only, and it should be of such character as to teach and inspire patriotism in all that word implies. am opposed to all devices that jeop- ardize life and limb especially the toy pistol and blank cartridge, cartridge canes and any kind of dynamite crack CTS. The old ia ashioned Chinese crack CT, I understand, is practically harm less
 As to how tfse day should be cele- brated the advice of John Adams is worth considering. He said: This day should be solemnized with pOmp and parade, shows, games sports, bells and ilIumina tions from one end of the country to the other" And to this I would suggest might be added the reading of the Declaration of Indepen- dence in public place in every city. village and hamlet throughout the T11itad States

HIS DEPLORARLE.

Our evening contemporary finds that municipal partisanism is deplor- able and gives notice that it is hope fully yearning for a political millen- ium. It does not appear to realize that Norwich wants political partis- aniszn, or it would not have it. There is no city without partisanism in this country that we know of Knock out all partisa1isn and it would only be necessary to have one ticket. It takes more than voting the opposite ticket to make a bipartisan of a democrat or republican. Pure non-p partisanism Is no more nor less than a harmonious monopoly for running a town business wise. or otherwise. How it would work The Bulletin doesn't know, since it has never been tried. In cities which have adopted government by commis- sion there have been from three to seven candidates up for mayor-par- tisanism is not eliminated. Individu- alism may be fearfulfy needed every where, but organized labor finds that a million union men can make capital sit up and take notice more than seven million unorgantzed worlzmen can

THAT SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS

No voter for a moment thinks that the republicans drew $6.e00 drawing 1-2 per cent. interest from the bank for the fun of it. The truth is the gas and electric commissioners asked the court of common council to ap propriate for its use the entire depre- cietion fund without being explicit what they wanted the money for The most that could be learned was that they needed ss.ooo for a pole. line. This amount was voted them by the court of common council and Treas urer Peck drew it and put it in the treasury for their use, but it has never been cassed for. Now the democratic candidate for mayor says it was never needed, that the concern can meet all its own expenses. This transaction puts no odisTn upon the republicans in power. The voters have the power to put the odiurn where 1t belongs.

INDEPENDENT VOTING.

It Is apparent enough that there is going to be good deal of independent voting today Independent voting has become quite a fad in Norwich of late, and there is nothing to be said against it where the motives are not com pleteiy selfish. It became a proverb long ago that extremely selfish folks make mighty small parcels; and as it has been, so is it likely to be until the end of time The proverb with refer ence to specially grudgy people we do not care to quote. Doubtless most in dependent voters believe that it is for the public welfare to strive for a change in accord with their honest convictions and political action. and that good is thus often accomplished is too apparent for denial It is to the credit of the city for all to go to the polls and vote, and the victory belongs to the majority. If Americans do not like to be losers they know how to honor results like men.

For Summer Curtains.

Dainty curtains for a bedroom in the summer home may be made from dotted swiss in coin size, widely scat tered
 Make the curtains to the sash with fve-inch hem down the fronts and across the bottom, or the hem should be wide enough for three lines of dots.
 Using each dot for a basis, work in it daisy design in colored mercerized cotton. Make the petals with loops of the threads as in lazy daisy stitch. bringing them all to center of dot and spreading circumference, where they are caught with Q. tiny stitch.
 These daisies may be all in one color, in two tones of a given shade, or even two contrasting shades The coloring should be alternated. For in- stance where there are three rows of dots in the hem the two outer ones should be worked in a pale yellow and the center in orange; or every other dot should be light and the following dark.
 Where more color is wanted the hems can be turned up on right side, mitered at corner and the hemming covered with a line of briar stitching, or in two rows of half-inch stitch to correspond in color with the dots.

Isr LOSS. OR A GAIN?

Bill Janvrin thinks that he has an immediate demand for s6,000 and not having the cash borrowed it from a bank at 1-2 per cent. Discovering that 1t may be several months before the transaction can be consummate6, he banks the money at 4 per cent. Has William lost or saved money? He hae held the money for one-half of one per cent, and The Bulletin figures that he has earned just four per cent. He would be out just one-ialf of one per cent, or mills on the dollar, in stead of 45 mills, or 1-2 cents on the dollar. This is common commer- cial practice and represents shrewd ness rather than folly, although tricky lawyer might make poor think CTS regard it as rank foo1ishness.

cretonne Slippers.

Cretonne comes to the rescue once more. offering a cheap and pretty ma terial for bedroom slippers.
 They are built upon a firm founda- l. tion-one or the best pair of slipper soles that come-caTe being taken not to have them the least bit too large
 No pattern will be required by the ordinarily expert seamstress if she will plant the foot securely on the sole and fit deep vamp of cretonne over the front of the foot, covering toes and instep.
 At it's upper edge, across the instep, a casing conceals the elastic that holds the slipper more firmly and on the cen ter front there is placed a small, close bow of three-inch ribbon.
 Round the back section of the leath- ed sole there is a binding of the same ribbon in narrower width; this is sew ed on by hand over the usual tape covered edge.
 The variations in cretonpe coloring make it possible to match either the hangings of the room or the negligee, W which last is even better.

The Borders on the Grass Plot.

In garden making one of the first questions is how to edge the borders Many people, to get an immediate eff feet, put in grass edgings, forgetting g what an endless source of trouble and expense they will be.
 They must be moved, have their edges clipped straight, weeds taken out (for weeds look even worse in the edging than on the 1awn) and flowers hanging over will be injured by all these operations.
 Box edgings are charming. but they are very expensive, and parts have to be replaced every year.
 Except in favored spots, or near the sea, they are not hardy and must be heavily protected. which is, of course, both ugly and extravaGant.
 There remains making edgings of our own favorite stones.
 For this a small ditch should be dug and the stones laid in with a line. The flowers will soon hide them, sow themselves between them, and delight in them generally, for the stones keep the roots moist and the flowers dry.
