DR. JOHN HUNTER SPEAKS.
Meriden ciersymen Advised to Be Frank and True in Their uttsrances of Truth.

Ten members. of the Meriden Minis ters' association and two 1aymen formed the small but keenly interested audience that Dr. John Hunter of Glasgow, Scotland, addressed before he left for Bridgeport after a pleasant stay of over two days in Meriden. His subject was Religious Conditions in Great Britain.
 He said the church did not believe too much but too many things. He thinks the churches ought to simplify their articles of faith. Above all things he believes that church cannot exist long where the members are asked to say with the lips, subscribe to certain things they do not believe. The clergy should be frank and true in their ut terance of truth. Speaking of church unity he argued that there was no reason why the Congregational and Baptist church of Great Britain should not be one religious body. High minded men 1ser there and men of the same type here stand ready to further this plan of unity. in fact to bring 1t to pass when the time is ripe. In comparison with these large mind ed men are little pettifogging fellows whose fighting blood was reused over trivial non-essentials of the law that did not amount to anything Speak ing of the covenant he said it ought to be simple and Christians should be- lfeve simply with the mind of Christ He held belief in the holy catholic church and the communion of saints as necessary.
 He told the clergymen that some times he was moved to believe that the truer Christianity was without the church. People meet everywhere else in various places of employment or in a social and business way on an equal, square and fair basis, but at the com munion table exceptions are made of those not identified with my denomi- nation or your denomination.-Me Meri- den Record

 How far the Anglo Russian conven- ton has threatened the interests oH other countries 1t might be somewhat difficut to decide. Germany evidently feels, just as in the case of Morocco, that she can possibly get more lor ner- self by making a disturbance.

Character and EccentricItv

Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character has abounded; and the amount of ec- centricfty in a society has been pro- portional to the amount of genius, mental vigor and moral courage it contained. That so few now dare to be eccentric marks the chief danger of the time.-John Stuart Mill.

fights the regulars won with singular

The result of the primaries is that the

Ing of the entire party in the state, IN
which Mr.. Taft has always enjoyed great
personal popularity
It is fortunate that the Republicans
can enter the present campaign with no
differences within the ranks, except such
as concern the fortunes of individuals
The Democratic party is making the ex-
pertinent of running for Governor man
of high character who has been out OF
active politics for eighteen years. He is
asking support as an old line Democrat
of the school of Tilden and Seymour, al
though standing on platform whose
declarations conflict at many points with
his ''old-fashioned'' Democracy. The
Democrats of Connecticut hope to win
by offering one kind of doctrine in their
candidate and another kind in their
platform, and trusting that many voters
will support their nominee altogether re-
Cardless of doctrine. The Republicans
best meet such an attack by frank
avowal of confidence in what President
Taft has done and is doing They can
set up modern Republicanism against a
mixture of 1'ildenism and Organism
The action of the state convention indi-
Gates that they have adopted the right
tactics. They can easily win by showing
the voters that their programme is one
of progress instead of reaction, meeting
the urgent demand of the present for
better government and more popular
rule

third is coolie labor, on which Natal diff

on these the divisions and the attitudes

there will be a second contest, within the

THE OPEN PURSE OF A SENATOR.

THE OPEN PURSE OF 4 SENATOR.
Through the graft investigation now
being held old notions about the way
money passed" i'll Albany are being
corrected. Money did pass, but in ex-
acuy the opposite direction from that
commonly supposed. Did the public
service corporations grease the palms Of
predatory legislators? Not at all, Quite
the contrary, indeed, for. as Senator
GoOdsell's testimony shows, the purse of
the legislator was ever at the disposal
OF the street railway companies. and the
demand for accommodation was fire.
uuent and pressing. The street rail
roads. being asked for campaign con
tributions, naturally sought their ever
obliging friends in Albany, and, apply
ing to the chairman Of the Senate Rail
road Committee. obtained a loan Of
$4,000. which the said chairman him
self conveyed to the party committee.
Now. isn't that exactly the reverse of
what was currently believed, We are
glad the truth is at last being drawn
forth from its reluctant lair, so that jus
ticc may be done to the much maligned
corporations and to the equally maligned
legislators. The general belief was even
further wrong than this relation of Dor
rover and lender alone indicates. for the
street railway interests We're not only

they were slow pay. They kept the gen

on Railroads waiting for his money from
early fall until the day the Legisla ture
adjourned in April. when they repaid the
loan in the form Of credit at the
lenders brokers Of the amount Dor

It required some capital 10 he Sen

necesSitous street railroads TO the extent
OF $1,000 for half year. Nor was this
the only call upon the wide open purse

pensatiOns. Of course Otherwise only
milIionaires could have afforded to go TO

NEW JERSEY LIKES THEN.

The most significant result of the pri-
mary elections in New Jersey was the
popular approval OF the system of direct
primary nominations. 1t was the states
first experience with this system, and
there was much doubt as to how it would
be received New Jersey is not in
clined quickly to adopt new methods.
Moreover. there was an organized and
energetic effort on the part of various
influential leaders 10 discourage voters
from attending the primaries. IN some
counties non-participati0n in them was
decreed as mark of regularity" and
attendance at them was prescribed as
fragrant insurgency. Under these cir
cumstances there was reason TO expect
Il light vote.
The primary vote was. however, graft
fyingly large. especially in the Republi-
can party. Note, for example, the result
in Essex. the premier county Of the state.
Al the primaries there were cast for two
Republican candidates for Register Il
total Of 33S7G votes. Three years ago
there were east for Governor Fort in
that county. his home county. only 34.1IS
votes at the November election. Popular
interest in the primary system could need
M stronger vindicatiOn. Equally Signifi-
cant was the result Of the voting for
United States Senator, although this was
merely advisory and not, as in the other
cases, mandatory. In Essex County the
three Republican Senatorial candidates
whose names were on the primary tickets
received total OF 81 1898 votes. showing
that nearly as many voted for them as
for the Register and other candidates.
Probably the difference indicated the
number Of those who favored some other
candidates whose names were not on the
ballots and for whom. therefore, they
could not conveniently vote.
These manifestations of public inter
est and participation in the primaries
should put an end TO all thought Of re-
pealing the system and should provide a
strong incentive for perfecting it in ac-
cGrdance with the desires of the people
and the promises Of party platforms.
When practically all the voters Of the
party take the trouble to go to the polls
and vote at the primaries it would be
idle and silly to say that they do not
approve Of the system

Miss Josefa Schneider. Turkish subject.
resident in Constantinopie, has brought
suit for damages against the state which
throws a vivid light on conditions in Tur-
key under Abdul Hamd II. According to
the Paris "Eclair' one of Abduis dauSh-
ters fell seriously III in the days when he
was still Padishah and the court physicians
recommended an operation for appendicitis.
Abdul refused to give his consent until the
operation had been performed on some one
else, to prove that It was not dangerous to
life. Miss Schneider, who had recently
spent some time in a Constantinople hospl-
tai, was handy, so she was forcibly taken
from her house and deprived of her appen-
dix. Abdul IIamid was convinced, his
daughter was cured and now Miss Schnei-
GERS suit is part of his successors troubles.
