THE GOVERNORS REcoMMENDA
 TON.

It appears that Governor Baldwin does not think the planting of shade rre0 and the protection of useful birds is beneath his notice. In his Arbor day procIamstions how heartily day. sN& E.
 He makes April 1fth Arbor day in this state, and says.
 And I recommend that all. who can. use the opportunity 70 plant trees suinble for shade anas ornamett around their homes. or M the pubic roads. and that in our schools the teachers on that day read aloud this proclamation and impress upon the minds of those subject to their care fhe loveiiness of groves and shaded avenues: the solicitude with which our laws seek to guard the perpetuation of the song birds. and the many ways in which children can do an important part in preventing injuries to birds or trees. and so giving their state . great charm and making it more dear to its people"
 The New England cities are besuti- fxinF themselves. Providence is set ting out thousands of young shade trees. A distribution of 25o00 by New Haven merchant indicates the spirit moving in the Elm city; and the preferred tree for every pupil of the public schools indicates a fine civic spirit on the part of the firm of The Porteous & Mitchell Co. of Norwich, and foreshsdovs the adornment of private grounds with beautiful trees.
 The owners of little places here in Norwich will be pleased to aid the children in setting these trees upon or in front of their property.
 ft win be a lasting pleasure to have added one pretty tree te the arboresl beauty of the Rose of New England"

What difference does it make what Banks said to Uilman. If he had paid him a handsome compIiptenty no inquiry would have ts be made If he said something in his wrath to be ashamed of in his cslmer moments why need an inquiry be made? The man who lowers himself to say un- manly things is always the worse in- tured of the two. Representative Banks lacked the self-possession which would have done him honor and no one is to blame but himself if he is now in dishonor

WHAT 2

What Representative Banks really rid say to Colonel Cllman is likely to remain as much of mystery as what General Esan said to General Miles Waterbury American.
 t is prcsurnable that both Banks snd t'iln1an know, and when you come down to a question of actual utility and something beside mere curiosity. perhaps that mutual knew1- edge is enough.-Bridgepor Standard

servitude, except as a punishment for
crime.
Mr.. Wickersham calls attention to
the discovery Of extensive irregulart
ties and In some cases actual dis
honesty in offices of clerks Of the
United States courts. No effective
reform, he declares, can be accom-
plished until the power Of removing
the clerks is taken from the Judges
and lodged in the president and the
clerks paid specific sum, instead OF
the fees system.

where federal prisoners are confined

attorney general recommends the a.
