A CLOSED EPISODE.

-The Common Council received in s1ience Monday night, the announce n1ent that, while City Engineer Mo Kenna declines to resign, he will not be . candidate to succeed himself. Evidently this is the closing chap tH of q most Siistasteful V episode, since the Council shows no disposi- ton to take further action. It ap- peared for the first time that the City Attorney rendered his opinion that the power of removal in this case had not been legally given to the mayor. Hence the only power that could be exercised by the latter, xas his right to request Mir. McKen- mas resignation. This the mayor did. Since the finding of the com- mittee impugned Mir. McKenna's per- sonal relations with his employees rather than his capacity as an en- ginser, it is perhaps as well that he should remain in office until the end of. his term if only for the purpose of. winding up work which ns. has in- itiated.

AN INTERESTING CASE.

The Colletta trial developed inter- esting questions relating to a mans right of self defense and the divid- ing line between manslaughter and murder under certain circumstances. The .accused, who consented to plead to manslaushter. had committed a minor offense. foA which a citizen sought to apprehend him. Under the circumstances the arrest was il- legal and the accused resisted, even to the point of Killing his assailant. Now . citizen may arrest another only following felony of which he has been a spectator. or to. prevent a felony. He has no right to at- tempt an arrest for an offense of les ser degree. The accused, therefore was repelling an illegal assault upon his. person, and was acting in self defense. But he exceeded the de- gree of force which he was entitled to use under such circumstances, and therefore became guilty of a honi- eide, though not of the degree of murder. The distinctions are some what shadowys the none especially as juries are judges of both the law and the facts, and viewpoint differs somewhat in various Jurisdictions. No one can say what would have hap pened to the. accused in this case, had he. not elected to plead guilty, nor should the efforts of Exceedingly able counsel be unconsidered in estimating the result. But since thereeare ten murder cases on the docket for this county, the accused ought to regard himself as a fortunate man, that his sentence is not more than Is nor less than ten years in prison.

PROGRESS SHOWN BY
 SMALL TOWN ELECTIONS.

The small town elections proved conspicuous by two facts. First, the voters displayed commendable judg- ment in elevating men who had made good records in the last General As sembly. Secofid, they displayed equal zeal in punishing those who, had fan- ed to measure up to popular de- mands. In Democratic Newtown Representative Johnson, though a Republican, was elevated to the of flee of selectman. His devotion to popular measures had been remark able. But in Monroe Rep. Stiles many years, was tied for his~ place, and will probably be defeated in q special election. His offense was that he voted for the Banks bill, whep the public utilities legislation. was being considered by the House. Rep. Can- dee was defeated in Bedding, because he had voted to keep Highway. Com missioner Macdonald in office over the veto of Governor Baldwin.
 In Norwa1k, which is the home of Senator Donovan; in Willimantic, which is the home of Rep. Dunn; in Vernon, which is the home of Rep. Tingier, Democratic victories were scored, and there was a, marked con- nection between the facts that these towns could carry local elections and also send progressives to the legisla- ture.
 Tn towns where both the old lead CTS were in disfavor with the voters resort was had to the third ticket. Iii Bristol. Hull, Socialist, cafne within ten votes of defeating Coalition of Democrats and Republicans. The is sue was municipal ownership. Huh was for municipal ownership of the water works. There was a rebellion of the voters against the reactionary views of the politicians. It is evident that the day of progress has, dawned in Connecticut, and that people are giving less attention to party labels and more to what parties and canli- dates stand for.
