REoaoANtzE BY CONVENTION.

With the gathering of the law com m1ttee of the republican national com n1lttee the preliminaries are started in the movement for the re0rganiza- ton of the republican party in ac- cordance with demands which have been urged for some time. This con- eerns the changing of the number of delegates and the basis of representa- ton iH the national convention for the purpose of giving equitable represen- tation therein. That it should be the opinion of menlb bers of the law com n7ittee that the national committee is without the power to make such changes is not surprising. Rather is 1t preferable that 1t should be so. When matters of such importance to the national organization are under consideration it is but proper that they should be determined by convention representative of the entire party
 It is far better that the national committee should not attempt to make such changes in the national organ ization. Those are matters which should result from a national con- yention assembled for such a purpose and at a time when it will have no influence upon the candidacy of any aspirant for national honors. There should be the full and free discussion of the merits or demerits of any pro- posed changes and such can be ob- tained and incorporated into the rules with the best results, only by the or der of the party organization. It is but natural and just that the party should adopt it's own rules and make any changes therein. It is only by sc doing that the most wholesome effect can be obtained:

Bovine Tuberculosis.

MT. Editor: Referring to the fnicky and absurd rules laid down by the health officers in the regulation of milk production as related in Farmer $ Talk to Farmers, in your issue of Nov. Sth the following, clipped from one of the leading medical journals, will no doubt interest both the rural and urb- an readers of The Bulletin:
 Bovine Tuberculosis and Other Things
 of Interest.
 The learned a11opathic medical of fcials and their followers have gotten themselves and the world into a cu- rious tangle over bovine tuberculosis. $ Some of them on the outer edges, med ical free thinkers, as it were, say that given clean food. pure water and fair ly decent quarters, all cows will be healthy.
 Others, like Koch, say the disease is not transmissible to man from cows.
 The third class say that the tuber- culOuS cows are a, menace to the pub lie health and that no one can tell whether a COW has the disease without injecting tuberculin into her blood. One tangle is the fact that many cows have reacted to the injection and being slaughtered were found to be healthy, while others which were obviously dis eased took the test without reaction. So it seems that it is a test. like a law suit, open to exception.
 Another tangle is in the realm of pure reason. They teach that the bacilli of tuberculosis and it's virus is the cause of that disease, yet the tuberculin they inject is made from the bacilH and must contain the virus. Furthermore, it, i. e. tuberculin, proved to be very disastrous in Koch's day. According to the theofy of the spread of disease the tuberculin injected can- not but help in doing so indeed, many practical dairymen say it does. and that the tested cows are never so healthy afterwards. The test is the virus of tuberculosis and that virus is not health-ag in the blood, at least, so says common sense. An other tangIe is the fact that Koch, who discovered the bacillus of tuber- that it was the cause of the disease and not it's effect, also said, after years of investigation, that the bovine bacillus of tuberculosis was not the same as that in human beings, and could not be the cause of human tu- berculOSis but the officials preach his first proposition, but deny the second What any of them really know on the subject is another problem for their apparent limitation is the reaction of the COW to the poison. Here is an- other, little more remote. It is said that plenty of good. substantial, nour- ishing food is necessary for recovery from this disease said to be caused by Koch's bacillus.
 Yet MT. BrittIebanl CBr. Med J. Mar 29), chief veterinary inspector Manchester, says that 33 per cent. of

cARELEssNEss WITH FIRE.

The need of correcting the careless use of matches is emphasized by the exclusion of a man from the patent office for a period of thirty days for scratching a match in the crowded file room of the bureau. What such a practice is liable to result in is fully understood. Had the unexpected, but by no means impossible, occurred, much damage might have resulted from the failure to observe the rules and lack of proper judgment. Some of the worst fires. both in extent anG loss have been kindled in just such 9 manner. What revelations could be made by the discarded match, or the rip which flew into infiammable, ma teriali. Heedlessness and the failure to be concerned in the consequences of such simple acts send the loss by fire to vast amounts each year.
 Another and equally important evil dence of thoughtlessness is revealed by the destruction which follows the tossing away of the cigar stump or the lighted cigarette Many are the losses in the industrial world which xAn be- attributed to this careless

They, through 8 realization of the in- Sortauce of encouraging the practice os saving and applying whatever cor T@cttye influence is possible to the re-
 cent experiences, are giving assUEr- ance to the eight hundred school clii
 dren that their deposits ranging from five cents to fifteen dollars, will be paid in full and at once, or new bank accounts for the full amount opened
 Such is most conlmendable effort. It means the supp1anting of distrust and d1sinterestedness in saving money with feeling of safety. It is the necessary thing at this very time and NorsSch should feel proud that it has men who not only realize the need of this action but are willing to meet the situation It is the influence of the service more than the money involved which IS going to be the most valuable. The principle of saving can be wreck ed in the minds of children when they esltrust their money to a bank and fail to get it back and whatever can be done to prevent such a calamity is a most pRaiSeworthy undertaking.

AUTHORIZE vonANG MACHINES


 Just now in a Umber of states the recounting of the ballots cast in re- cent elections is h progress. The prac- tice of recounti-ag, the finding of CT TOTS in the reslGts and the placing ill office of those really elected instead Of those improperly declared elected, oc- eur with the regularity of election day. It is the result of the system of voting and the methods used in count ing Many eTEsors are discovered which though not sHfd1cient to change the re- suits indicate that to err is human. Corrected returns in Massachuset rs have resulted in republican gains fer the legislature and indicate most plain ly that whtFe accuracy is so nlGcl! desired the greatest efforts should be made to ob 4ain it.
 z In these tsaces where the recOunts have occurr sd the paper ballot is useti, as it is in the city elections in this city That inaccuracies are as ap- to occur here sts well as elsewhere s req sonabIe. Having paid through the town, the rnajority of the cost of the voting mac hines which the town owns, and which +he city can use by taking the necessary action, the authorization of such a- method of voting by the city is one which ought not to be neglected Accuracy is the keynote of the ma chine. Not only does it record tho Nrte as intended but it eliminates the large nuInber of discarded ballots which chaTa c4erize every election when tfse paper ballot is used Norwich knows the benefits of the machines at town elections and the same should be assured to the city.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
The Last Laugh is Best.

There are persons always ready to sheer at the well ordered life. the life of regulated and consistent steadiness. They call it tame, colorless, conVen- tional; they regard it as long drawn out tedium, mere existence, spirttIess vegetation. There is no easier gibe than that at the calm pursuit of sim pie duty. It provides a cheap jest; there is no romance about it, no pie turesdue detail. no constant charm of the unexpected. But those who are going on steadily in the path that they know to be right can afford to ignore any such attitude. For he who laughs last laughs best.
 As matter of fact. life is not ex- actly a laughing matter, whether we win or not. There is happily plentiful occasion for the play of humor, but humor goes deeper than laughter and sometimes deeper than tears. It Is a different thing with mirth, which merely glitters on the surface. The steady regular life gives mirth many a facile opportunity for it's cheap wit ticisms and suggests easy scorn to those whose seorn is a compliment It makes one think better of ones self
