The meeting of the new court Of common council for the distribution of patrcnaqe was held last Monday, and the offices went to the same old off1- cers and in the same old way, accord inc to custom. and, the republicans dominating in the council, the offices were gathered in by the members oL that party. Just as it should be- But, for the first time in the past half-ceh- tt1rv. at least the minority party In the council failed to present the names or candidates for the several o1flceS within the gift of the council. On the contrary the leader of the democratic side seconded the motion for each re- publican nominee and for the repupll- can leader to cast the ballot of the council for tie candidates. This IS evidence sufficient that it is the 1nteh- tion of the democrats not to thrust party measures on the council ana to obliterate all party lines in the con duct of the city business.

1t Is probable that at the next meet ina of the society a vote will be

adopted authorizing reorganization, and that committee will be appoint ed to carry the vote into effect. EN- cry person who has ever held member ship twill be invited to come to the rescue or the society by being enrolled into the membership and every effort will be made to induce others to 1oln the society for the first time. The dead past will be buried and the or ganizat ton start out on a new basis, with the entire membership on a com mon plane, all past offences being ef- faced and to be forgotten.
 The plan further provides that as an organization the work of the soci- ety will be strictly from a moral suas- ion basis that characterized the entire Catholic Total Abstinence movement in the state years ago. and upon the same foundation upon which the state and national unions were built, but which, to some extent, has abandoned It's original purpose. and in some instances substituted political prohibition for the basic principle of moral suasion. The members will be pledged to abstain from all intoxicating drinks and to prevent as much as possible, by advice and example. the sin of intemperance in others. Should the plan of organ izatfon succeed, the Star of the Sea society will be preserved and it will once again have influence in the state and national unions.

 If it IS felt desirable that there should be more orchards and more apples, that end can he certainly attained only by making it as profitable to maintain orchards and raise apples IS to pour them from barrel into d basket and sell them.
 It's the same with all other kinds of farming When they pay as well or better than other forms of work, peo- pie will fall over themselves in their haste to get farms and do farming.
 Until that state of affairs arrives it is all bosh to talk about better roads and better schools and more sewing societies, as cures. They can be, at best, no more than temporarily allevia- tive.

immigrants are for the most part a superior class. Numerous large colo nies of. Bohemians in the west are engaged in dairying and grain farm ing on a large scale, and are ex- ceptionally prosperous and progres- sive.
 Or, by contrast, consider the re- markedly successful occupation of the towns of Hadley and Sunderland in the Connecticut valley. In Sun derland the Poles will soon far out number the original native New Eng land stock. They are steadily taking possession of the richest and most valuable riparian lands of the Con necticut, successfully raising tobacco and onions, buying homes for them selves. and settling down permanent k. There is nothing exceptional about these Poles. They are indus trious, and, working in tobacco and onion on fertile soil, their industry has been immdiately and abundantly rewarded.
 The fault lies not in the men but in the exhausted soil, the exorbitant prices paid for land, the isolated To- cation, and the out-of- date system of agriculture. No people are more ear nest or more willing to learn and practice more advanced methods; and herein lies a splendid opportun- ity for legal advice, agricultural dem onstration and practical extension work by the agricultural colleges. ex- Deriment stations, and state boards of agriculture, not only in Connecti- cut but in all of the older states where only eXpert< intensive, special ized farming is profitable.
