THE LOBBYIST.
(Ansonial Sentinel.)


 The New Haven Journal and Courier pointed out very clearly, the other day, the impropriety of the ad- mission of paid agents and lobbyists upon the floors of the general assem- bly,. It called attention to an evil practice that has been in vogue in this state for many years. Clearly, no one other than the members and of ficers of the respective houses should have admission to the floor at any time when the legislative bodies are sitting; and when, as has too fre- quently happened, the lobbyists and the special advocate have carried on their work from the desks of the members it has become a scandal that should have received immediate rebuke and correction. The lobbyist everywhere is a bird of ill omen, his work outside of it's proper channels needs to be repressed, and the legis lative mind ought to be so clarified and purified that his influence will be absolutely destroyed. The press of the state has for many long years de- cried the lobbyist and pointed out the nefarious character of his inter ference but he somehow thrives and his power remains unbroken. We shall proba bly have to await the dawn of the millenial time before we shall uitness his extinction.

either in the handle bars, which are placed little differently from the old ones, or in the slant in the back of the seat. Whatever be the cause, it is much more difficult for a per- son with any considerable amount of averdupois to squeeze into some of the cars. Mr. Buckland lso asks Mrs. Sterling to acquaint him of the section where cars with low steps are used, and he will have the same investigated and find out the results attained. Mrs. Sterling has probably ridden on the comfortable double step trolley cars running between Hartford and Unionville and knows what she is talking about. If the women keep right after what they want the Connecticut Go. may adopt this double step car.

(By JAMES DRYDEN.)

Poultry breeders have been telling
as for years that the pure-bred poul-
try are the best layers. and this is
echoed and re-echoed every day in
the year by the poultry papers. and
most OF us have come to believe 1t.
Gut has any one ever been able to
demonstrate by careful experiments
r tests that the puro-breds are bet
ter layers than the cross-breds or the
ordinary farmyard fowl?
We are apt to tell the farmers
every day that they know nothing
about poultry; that they ought to
study up. We tell about this system
and that system, and special poultry
farms, and tell them to go and do
likewise. But he goes on in his own

EXPLAINS NEW METHOD
FOR BURNING STUMPS

Seattle, March "A demonstration
of new process for the burning out
of stumps by means of producer gas
was made on the State University
campus Friday afternoon by Prof. H.
Thompson of the United States bureau
of plant industry and Prof. H. X. Ben
son of the department of chemistry of
the university.
The continuance makes use of an
external and an internal pipe, joined
in the shape of an L. A fire Is started
at the base of the stump and the
heated air rushes up through the In
ner pipe. The result is perfect COM
bustiOn from the inside.
The experiment was watched Fri
day afternoon by several hundred
people, and gave evidences of success
last evening. It will take three or
four days for the stump, which Is
water-soaked, to be entirely con-
sumed.

ROADS PLACING SOME
EQUIPMENT ORDERS

New York, March 6.-Small orders
for railroad equipment and supplies
were placed last week and similar in
quiries now are more numerous than
at any other time in six months. Sus.
pended shipments on rails, because OF
the adverse freight rate decision, were
cOuntermanded, and cancellation of
other railroads orders were nullified.
Rail orders were received from do
nestle lines aggregating $1,000 tons,
export orders called for 10000 tons
and Canadian railroads ordered $4,000
tons from home mills The signii-
canoe of the latter business is that
and that other Canadian rail orders
10000 to 10000 tons-may come to
this country.
The Pan-American railway of Uru-
quay has ordered only 5000 tons thus
far, but is negotiating for $4,000 addi-
tional. Other prospective export or
ders will call for as much more.
Domestic roads are negotiating for
100000 tons, including 100000 tons for
the Hartman lines.
Recently large orders for wire prod.
ucts, black sheets and tubes soon will
lead to an advance of dollar ton.
but low prices we're again made last
week for fabricated structural steel
with keen competition for business.
| Bookings of the subsidiary compan.
les of the Steel corporation in Febru
airy seem to have exceeded shipments

indicate an increase of $4,000 tons
in untitled orders.

MONTANA DEMOCRATS
FINALLY ELECT SENATOR

Helena. Mont, March 4.-Henry l.
Myers (Democrat), OF Ravalli county
has been elected United States Sena
tor to succeed Senator Carter, ON the
seventy-ninth joint ballot.
The election of Judge Myers came
as dramatic close to one of the most
exciting days ever witnessed at the
State House.
The election of Democratic Sena
tor was due solely to the action OF
Ronald Higgins, young insurgent
Republican, from Missoula, in de-
Ginning to support a motion made at
$40 to dissolve the joint assembly
sine die. The motion was at first
voted for by every Republican and
three Democrats, enough to carry it
by one vote. Before the result was
announced Higgins changed his vote
to no. Wild cheering from the Demo.
cratic side and fierce kissing in the
Republican side greeted the announce.
ment Of Higgins change. Imme.
diately afterward the three Democrats
also changed their votes.
Myers name in connection with the
senatorship had not been mentioned
in the joint assembly until the final
ballot. The first man to vote for him
was State Senator Conrow. Democrat
after Democrat voted for the West
Montana jurist. When the roll call
had been completed Myers had AZ
votes, within nine of enough to elect;
Conrad had eight, former Gov Toole
had one, Walsh had one, and Judge
j. M. Evans had one Before the re-
suit was announced, however, the
Democrats, one by one, changed to
Judge Myers, and when the total was
boosted to 81 the Democrats went wild
with enthusiasm
On the final ballot every Demo
cratic vote, SO in all, was recorded
for Myers.

SENATE WILL Be FOR
DIRECT ELECTION
SUFFICIENT VOTES
TO CHANGE PRESENT
METHOD.
Predicted Majority for Constitutional
Amendment to Elect Senators Oy
Direct Vote Will Be as Large do
That by Which it Was Defeated al
Last Session.

Washington, March apparently
the new United States senate will
have at least as large majority IN
favor of the submission of an amend
ment for election of senators by popu-
lar vote as the senate just expired
possessed against this reform.
When the resolution came to vote
few days ago it was lost by 81 to
SO, a two-thirds majority being re-
uuired. This was four votes short.
Changes in membership brought about
by the Democratic-progressive Repub-
licans wave of last November shows
that at least eight of the lame ducks
who voted against popular election are
succeeded by men who will vote the
other way, Transforming majority OF
four against the measure to major
ity of four in it's favor.
Those changes, which show how the
tables will turn, are as follows:
Frank P. Flint of California, sue
ceeded by John D. Works, radical Re-
publican insurgent.
Morgan G. Buckley of Connecticut,
succeeded by George P. Mclean, pro-
gressive Republican.
Eugene Hale of Maine, succeeded by
Charles F. Johnson, Democrat.
julius c.. Burrows of Michigan, sue
ceeded by Charles E. Townsend, pro-
gressive Republican.
Herando D. Money of Mississippi,
succeeded by John Sharpe Williams,
who has long been a friend of popular
election.
John Kean of New Jersey, succeed
ed by James E. MARITIME, Democrat.
Charles Dick of Ohio, succeeded by
Atlee Pomerene, Democrat.
Nathan B. Scott of West Virginia,
succeeded by John T. McGraw, Dem
Ocrat.
It will be observed that all of the
eight retiring senators named are in
the standpatter list of the old senate
with one exception, Money of Missis-
sippi. Money is Democrat, and is
supposed to have voted against the
resolution because of it's form. Al
most without exception the eight new
members named are progressives of
the aggressive kind, personally pledg-
ed to support the popular election of
senator's
To the changes named others may
be added, notably in New York, where
the Democratic legislature has so far
struggled unsuccessfully to choose a
successor to Depew. 1t is doubtful il
any of the holdover senators who vot.
ed for the resolution last week will
reverse themselves in the new con-
gress, for the tide is running the other
way.
