In the Senate.

The Senate devoted the greater part of the day Monday to a discus sion of the question whether the bill for the Deaf Mute appropriation of $l20000 should be itemized. It arose on motion to put the bill back on second reading for amendment Sen ators Clergot, Robertson and Coving- ton argued in favor of the itemizing of the bills as safeguard to be thrown about the disposal of the peoples money. They opposed the appropriation of a lump sum for tht deaf mute, for that would set pre- cedent for all the other institutions, thing that had never been done. Senator Holt, however, said he would be in favor of doing this and trust ing to the boards, else they might as well abolish the boards. Senator Fletcher said that if the appropria- tions were itemzed there would be amendments by the wholesale Sen ator Covington declared that it would
 be unparalleled and unprecedented and if the boards were given full control they might as we'll abolish the legislature and let the boards and commissions run the govern ment. Senator Watson declared that 3S states had adopted the method of making appropriations in lump sum, and they had guarded it satisfactory Senator Oldham declared that the Board during the last two years ha& saved $S7,000, an evidence of what can be accomplished by a business administration, The motion to put the bill back on it's second reading for amendment finally was defeated, and the bill was passed with the amendment of $5,000 for clothing and $500 for travelling expenses for in digent children,

THROWING AWAY FRANCHISES.

1t is time Connecticut received
something more substantial upon her
franchises. The governor will have
the approval of the people in his Veto
ing of the Connecticut River com
commercial use one of the grandest
rivers in New England.
1t may be as claimed that this is
the first step toward building up a
great industrial center in Connecticut
to compare with Holyoke, Mass; but
this is no reason why capital should
not pay a fair price for the great and
continuous power it is receiving from
the state.
New York city has been wise in this
respect 1t has never given away it's
water front and the property it owns
there yearly pays an enormous income
in rentals. Several of the railroads
pay more than $4,000 year in rents
for the ground occupied by their
freight terminals The rentals of the
land occupied by the great steamship
companies is also surprisingly large.
According to the annual report just
made public, the dock department
revenues from this source are more
than 100000 a year, the total in
come being over $5,500,0 900
The governor in vetoing this meas
ure took the side of the people; and
it is simply suicidal for the general
assembly of the state of Connecticut
to take the opposite view and pass
the amendment over the executive veto

HOW 1T HAPPENED.

Since General Baldwin has vetoed
the appropriation bill for good roads
because it carried protection to the
state highway commissioner, which
would have looked better applied to
all commissioners, the Hartford Cour-
ant proceeds to say:
There are two main reasons as
signed by the governor for his decis-
ion. One is that a single commissioner
is selected by this amendment and all
the others equally subject to the gov
ernor's arbitrary action are left out.
Is it possible that the governor had
not heard. with all the little birds that
fly about the capitol. that the amend
ment had to he limited to the high
way commissioner or else some of the
governors supporters would have had
it thrown out as not germane to the
main resolution, appropriating for
highways?
But the second objection is the
deep down and vital consideration on
the broad general proposition of inter-
fering with the governors prerogative
he sternly objects TO having a removal
subject to anybody but the governor
who makes the appointment. and fur
ther he objects to diverting or per-
Verting the duties of the judiciary in
this way and he even questions
whether such a thing is constitutional,
Is il possible that his excellency, VINO
was so interested in the public utili-
ties bill and who signed SO readily
the measure that passed the legisla-
ture did not observe that the public
utilities act contains just the same
provision for removing his appointees
-
improper and unconstitutional when
applied TO the highway commissioner ~
If this was the first time the gov
ernor had made himself appear incon-
sistent ii would be surprising, but the
same partisanism which led him to
support Bryan makes him blind to
other rational and Just procedures.
Wednesday the house passed the ap-
preparation bill over the governors
veto and the senate will doubtless fol-
low suit.

Q.-Does God give orders for the
weather every day?
Answer.-No; nor does He every day
order the stars in their courses, or the
earthquakes, fanines and pestilences.
At the present time, because of sin, the
entire course of nature is permitted to
be out of joint, SO far as the earth is
concerned. Our weather is not ideal
at all times; God knows this and per-
mits it as a part of the penalty OF
death upon Adams race. Present con-
ditions are not what God would have
provided for Adam and his poSterity
had sin not entered into the world.
Extle mes of heat and cold, floods and
droughts, death dealing. tornadoes and
cyclones are the worlds portion as
criminals under death sentence: they
are parts of the course. Christians are
not exempted from these, but are re
quired to walk by faith, sharing, the
worlds experiences; yet by this faith

which will fit them for their future

tYou naughty boy. Why do you

Paper is made from clusters of flax
like Farmer White has down in his
held.

papa to have him take you down just
for that?''

up the paper / wouldn't did it IL l

LOW TAX RECOMMENDATION.

IL is nothing new for the selectmen
of Norwich to recommend a tax which
is lower than they expect the voters
10 approve of. 1t has long been
fashion-a fashion open to criticism.
The Bulletin has for several years
allied attention to the fact that the
Otis library appropriation which
makes that institution auxiliary to
the schools Of the town should be con-
sidered a regular expense and be in
Guided in the estimates of expenses as
sure as the appropriation for the high
ways.
Now we have in addition to this the
payment of the tuition OF town pupils
attending the Academy. which was
new last year. but which should be
regularly continued in future. There
Is no tax money better expended than
that which goes to produce a more in
telligent and better citizenship, and
there is no money appropriated from
which the benefits are more generally
distributed among the people.
This will take over mill more than
the IL mills recommended, the low
est recommended tax levy for years,
by the way: and it means that the tax
rate will have to be raised to Z 1-2
mills TO meet the expenses which the
voters have endorsed and will en-
dorse.
Economy is most commenda BILE if it
IS not the sort of economy which
stunts the soul of man.
Norwich always has striven to stand
on a level with the enterprise and en-
lightenment of the best cities of her
size, and The Bulletin does not be-
lieve she will take a backward step
this year

There was once an old gentleman
who lived all by himself in a great big
stone house surrounded by vast park
inciosed with iron ratings. The house
was large and had many rooms but the
little old gentleman lived all by him
self in a tiny hail bedroom and though
he was marvelously wealthy he cooked
all his own meals himself and made
his own bed and swept and busted. 1t
was not because he was stingy and it
was not because he was disagreeable
and hard to get along with. The only
reason the little old gentleman lived
all alone was because nobody could be
