What the Other Fellows Say

The present winter is notable for several reasons-the amount of cold weather, the scarcity of deep snow, the low water supplies and the epidemic of aviation caps.-Lakeville Journal.
 The Osler theory, evidently, is to get no assistance from Governor Dix. He has just appointed John R. Vorhis, aged 82 years, to be state superintend- ent of elections.-Hartford Times.
 Some high clipper scientist is now on deck with the fool statement that along about 1890 there'll be no more babies born. Queer taste some newspapers have for "news." The author of the statement should be examined touching his sanity. -Woodbury Reporter.
 It will be observed that Governor Baldwin is not by any means in accord with the Democratic platform. That, however, is not surprising. As he said before election, he was nominated be- fore the platform was constructed.- Bridgeport Post.
 Gov. Baldwin has in themain endorsed the main features of that campaign document, and that the points where he seems to repudiate that instrument are exceptions, and relate to matters upon which he clearly declared him. self during the campaign, and are merely new points which he now sus- taIns with most convincing argu- ments,-New Haven Union.

STAFF TESTIMONIALS

It would be interesting to know by what mental processes the friends of the various members of the GoYernor's s staff arrive at their selections of testimonials.
 Colonel Chapin. of New Hartford, was recently the recipient of luxurious easy chair, at the hands of his admir- ing neighbors and friends. Last week, Mayor Edward T. Lyons. of Hartford. was surprised by big delegation of his friends, at his home, who presented him with handsome sword.
 It must be admitted that to the man up tree, it looks as if the sword were the more appropriate gift to present to a staff officer just embarking upon the bloody business of war which this mill tary appointment implies.
 If these respective presentations indi- cated anything to the aforesaid man up the aforesaid tree, it would indicate that the friends and admirers of the officers considered that Colonel duties come under the head of ''soft snaps" " and con- sist in doing the heavy sitting around, while a Majors lot is the more strenuous one of doing the carving. When the Colonel draws up his chair and the Major draws out his sword, there is sure to be something doing. The Colonel knows a good thing when he sits down to it, and personal acquaintance with Major Lyons warrants the assertion that, if ever Il. II will be blood that deserved to be shed,

In a letter printed in another column Mr. Strong asks for the return of the bell belonging to the hose carriage, which seems to have lost itself after do ing service as signal bell in the judges stand at the old Riverside trotting park. Just why the hose carriage bell should have been put in commission as race track signal, is as interesting a problem as the present whereabouts of the bell itself. Gan anybody give positive as- surance that the rest of the hose carriage isn't doing duty somewhere as a push cart, or delivery wagon?

SENATOR suLkELEYs DEFEAT

The defeat of Senator Bulkeley is not without its pathetic aspect. He had never before really known the bitter taste of defeat, though he had fought battles as desperate as the one in which he has just been overthrown, and he may perhaps be pardoned if he had come to consider himself invincible.
 But he came upon time when. the the methods that had always served him, and the magic of his fine personal ity, lost their power to charm. Besides, there was another Richmond in the field. of fascinating personality and pos sessing qualities of statesmanship that attract. It is inconceivable that the old veteran failed to read the handwriting on the wall. Yet, it was characteristic of him to fight to the last ditch. He is a grand old man and a splendid fighter, but he fought one fight too many.

Sweeney and the Barber

What aTe those people growling for ?'' said Sweeney on parade. "They're growing cause they're mad,
 kind sir,"' the genial barber said. "What are they all so mad about?" said Sweeney on parade. Faith, that's a long, blood-curdling tale," the genial barber said. "They had their lungs inflated to ap- plaud game of ball; They had their tickets bought, and all most started for the hall, When First Selectman Peirce declared,
 'There'n be no game ? That's all And that's the wherefore of the ipdig-
 nation" "Why did he not allow the sport ?" said Sweeney on parade. Because, he said, it didn't pay," the genial barber said. "Who didn't pay? and pay for what ?'' said Sweeney on parade. "Pay for the buildings wear and tear, " the genial barber said. 'He said the club was in arrears, and owed the town enough; They knocked the walls to pieces and
 they used the fixtures rough; They d played the game on him before.
 and he was up to snuff, And that's the reason why he Jagged
 the contest" "But have the players no dsfense?" said
 Sweeney on parade. "Oh, yes; they plead an alibi " the gen
 ial barber said. "Why don't they force the issue, then?'
 said Sweeney on parade. "Force sounds so like breakfast food, "
 the genial barber said. "They're getting hunk by twitting on
 some long-forgotten facts They say Burt's stand is different from
 his ante lection acts, And that they never gave him cause to
 put it up their backs,
 And they don't know what the matter
 is with Hannah" "What does the public think it ?" said
 Sweeney on parade. "The public's split in factions now, "
 the genial barber said. And will it lead ito social war? said
 Sweeney on parade. Much worse than that, greatly fear. " the genial barber said. Each faction now is occupied in throw
 ing verbal bricks; All classes of society are regist'ring
 their kicks It's bound to be an issue in our next years politics
 And there's going to be some music next October" ."

DISCUSSING THE QUESTION

Our esteemed correspondent. "Lib- eral." whose letter appeared in the News last week, seems to have succeeded in his purpose-if his purpose was to stir up the "No License" people to make reply. The two broadsides poured into him this week will afford him material for reflection. and the challenge hurled at him by "A Citizen" to come out with him into the open and reveal their identities, ought to fetch him.
 While the News is bound to screen the names of all contributors who write over assumed signatures, it would very much prefer that the suggestion ot Citizen" be adopted and real names given, when, as in the present discussion the subject is one of important com munity interest and is carried on by gentlemen, on either side, of intelligence and standing. And unless we greatly mis judge the courage of Liberal, he will if he returns to the attack, reveal him self in response to Citizens challenge and give his reasons, over his own signature, for the faith that is in him concerning the efficacy of License as al agency for community progress and business prosperity.
 The News believes no harm can result from full and free discussion of this

More Light on the Patriotic Vandalism
 on the School BelfrY
 Johnnie RObinson's memory gives up some Interesting details in the old school house bell episode, referred to last week Johnnie doesn't question any statement of historical fact; he simply makes clear some points that make the story of the old bells spiriting away more complete. He recalls that on that noisy Fourth of July eve. some thirty-odd years ago, he was out with some of the boys, himself, helping to usher in the glorious with a big cannon and sundry other pieces of heavy artillery. and that about mid night, Sam Eddy hunted him up in a hurry, and asked for the loan of the Adam carriage-house keys, as he wanted 10 procure tools for removing the bell from it's hangings, in the school house belfry.
 After making Sam promise solsmnly that he wouldn't lose the keys and the tools, he gave up the keys. and Sam was thus equipped for his raid, with Charlie Marvin, on the belfry. Johnnie then resumed his cannonading, and the next thing he knew, the noisy bell parade came along from the direction of the school,house, with the bell sus- pended from a pole carried by couple of young patriots, accompanied by volun- teer escort banging and whanging the old bell at every step.
 The next morning Sam returned the keys to Johnnie, and it was solemnfy and secretly agreed between them that Johnnie wouldn't tell Grandfather William Adam that Sam had used the keys, and Sam wouldn't tell that Johnnie had let him take them. Sam confded to Johnnie that the bell had been hidden down in George Gillette's rye'field. and the latter agreed to bring 1t to the Adam carriage house and secrete it there without MT. Adam 5 knowledge. Johnnie went down there with a bag and easily traced the bell by the broken down rye where the boys had walked through. He put the bell in the bag, but had to muff1e the clapper to keep it from ringing as he walked.
 On arriving home he was startled to find MT. Adam sitting on the front porch reading paper. Johnnie put a bold face on the matter and walked rapidly toward the carriage house. but the old gentlemen spied him. What have yon there, Johnnie, pig in d bag?" he asked. "Yes sir, said Johnnie, with out stopping, for further explanation. But MT. Adam followed him out before he could dispose of his awkward freight. Whats in the bag?" he asked. "Oh it's only plaything we had last night" replied Johnnie, who admits now that he twas as scared as Sam Eddy would have been," Bat there was no further cross questioning, and the bell WAS finally deposited in an old piano-box in the loft of the carriage house, where it remained for several years.
