GOV. BALDWIN'S MESSAGE

Governor Ba1dwin's message to the General. Assembly contafns many ex- ceYlent features. His recommendation for immediate ratification of the con ssasuttona1 amendment requiring Uni- &ed States Senators to be elected by poouHar Ballot will undoubtedly be early adopted.
 There Is no reason why the General Assembly, should not address Congr ess in favor of the abolition of the elector- al c0g1ege. It has no function except to report the will of the voters as ex- pressed at the ballot box. The names oe me electors make the ballot cum beusoxna. and there is always the danuez- f1a4 in a time of division of op4uson as between classes, that it might attempt the resumption of it's couses&ssacnal &unctions.
 Fzaa r~euuuaendat9ons for the aboli- finn oe useless offices and the consoli- da&acn of others ought to receive care fua attention and ought to be carried out.
 Ills suggestion fa~oring the Work- mems compensation act is spendid, in principle, but 1t is probable that the 1eesale+urs will differ with him as to the form the measure should take

tomorrow in Barcelona and other i'm dustriaI centers- Since the day when Ferrer was shot in the trench of Mont juich, Spanish Republicans and So- ciaIists have celebrated both his birth day and his ''martyrdom." Don An tonic Maura was Prime Minister when the founder of the Modern Schools was executed after a secret court mar tia1 A few days later the Maura ministry fell, and the international protests against the Ferrer verd1ct were the principal cause of it's undo ing The successor of Don Antonio was recently assassinated, and, in the oponion of many, the Ferrer ag1ta- tion was responsible, although the late Prime Minister was a liberal and vised procedure in the Ferrer case. '"The blood of martyrs is the seed of the church"-and of the enemies of the church and royal regime. Few movem ents become powerful until they have had martyr, and repub- hcanisrn in Spain has gained greatly from F'errer's tragic death. "The tragedy at Montjuich will frequently be invoked to harass other ministries in Spain,'' predicted a newspaper cor respondent soon after the execution, and the prediction has already come true.
 Francisco Ferrer was born at AL
 
 10 1859. His parents were poor, and he had little formal education. At an early age he became a shop boy, and in his young manhood he was a railway ticket inspector. From his youth he was a. Republican and an an ti-cIeric. He took part in the Zoril- Ia revolution, and for this was exiled, spending several years in Paris. In the City of Light he found many kin dred spirits, among them Mile. Ernes- tine Mounier, a convert to many ad- vanced ideas. When she died she left part of her fortune to Ferrer, and this provided him with 1n- come of $7,0O0 a year. He returned to Spain to become an advocate of education for the masses, with the ul- innate object of overthrowing the monarchy and founding republic on it's ruins. He taught that only through popular education could Republican ideals be realized, and that force was worse than futile. It has been alleg- ed that Ferrer, while preaching against capitalism, himself lived the life of capitalist. but this is denied by William Archer, the English au- thor and critic, who spent several months in Spain investigating the Fer Ter case. MT. Archer wrote:
 Though now a rich man, he in no way changed the simple style of his living. His farmhouse at Mongat would, in a colder climate, be reckon ed little better than a hovel. In Par is he stayed at the most modest ho- tels; in London at middIe-cIass boarding house. Nothing can be fur ther from the truth than the legend which pictures him living in luxury on the spells of his hypocrisy
 Similar testimony as to Ferrer's habits of life are given by Joseph Mo Cabe, the English scientist and au- thor, who has written a biography of the Spanish teacher. "A fanatic, but never a hypocrite,'' sums up MT. Ar cher's opinion of Ferrer. MT. Mc- Cabe is more enthusiastic in his proise of F'errer, and describes him as one of the greatest teachers of modern times, "a noble spirit who will yet be acclaimed as the savior of Spaiu''

FIRST THINGS

WILLING TO PAY.
(New York Herald.l

Following the lead of newspaper proprietors in other parts of the coun- try who have raised the price of their papers from one to two cents, the owners of the four daily newspapers in Bridgeport, Conn.-The Telegram, The Farmer, The Standard and The Post-have announced that their sub scripton price hereafter will be two cents a copy.
 According to the report in our local columns this morning, they tell the same story that has been heard be- fore The price of paper has gone up. the cost of labor has fncerased publication of a newspaper have all most doubled in price. As the Morn ing Telegram put it: ''The half cent for which the newsdea1ers obtained each copy does not even pay for the white paper upon which the news is printed, and there is the choice be- tween increasing the price or lessen ing the paper in size and quality The Telegram accepts the former a1terna- tive.' The reason detailed in each of the other papers as to the cause for it's increase price is of the same ten- or. The Evening Post says: ''The business proposition of selling white paper costing Seven-eighths of a cent for one-haf cent is not sound or desirab bIe.''
 In other words, these papers in Bridgeport have decided that it is poor business policy to make their advertisers pay for all the cost of get ting out their publications. They be- lieve subscribers who want the right kind of paper are willing to pay for it, and in this view they have the ap- provaI of an increasing number of newspaper proprietors throughout the country.

PIGEON SHOOTERS CONTEST FOR $2O,OOO AT PAU,

Pigeon shooting-which is called a sport by many of the social elect wh o consider pugilisn revolting and unla- dylike-Will attract devotees from many countries to Pau, France, where the Grand Prix of the pigeon-slayers begins to-day. It makes one shudder to think of the terrible risks incur red by the intrepid sportsmen who will shoot the ferocious pigeons at Pau during the next few days. So- c.oty people who knock boxing de- clare that the professional pugilists are animated merely by love of mon ey, and in many cases this is true; but one wonders why the management of the grand international pigeon shooting competitions at fashionable Pau, consider it necessary to hang up some $2O,OOO in prizes. The Grand Prix, to be shot to-day, Friday and Saturday. alone carries purses of $5,- 900. Other events to follow bring the total to $2o,Ooo.

REVIEWS
 FROM Our Exchanges
THE HIGHWAY
CORRESPONDENTS

(N. H. JournaI-Courier.)
 The public will not fail to be inter ested in what now appears to be an impending coEEfct, at the very open ing of the session, between Governor Baldwin and the Democratic majority in the Senate over the busting of Com missioner Macdonald and the naming of his successor: From what we can gather the governor is firm in his de- termination to send MT. CadwelI s name to the senate, and the senate majority is equally as firm in it's de- termination to reject the nomination on the ground that the proposed nom inee is not a competent man for the place.
 Of Governor BaIdwin's right to nominate whom he pIeases, there can be question. The constitution con fers that power upon him, and he alone is responsible for the choice the senate leaders, who, with their associates, have an equal voice with the governor in dfsposing of the case, but it has usually been the practice to precede a nomination under dispute with some sort of a conference. But in the last analysis, 1t is the duty of the chief executive to make the nom nation, and the duty of the senate to confirm or reject. If the senate be- ieves conscientiously that MT. Cad well IS not competent man for the highway commissionership, it ought to reject him regardless of the repu- diation implied of a governor who is of their own political persuasion. Up- on no theory, with which we are fa- mi1iar, can the governor expect the senate to confirm a nominee because he is satisfied that the nominee is fit. On the other hand, upon no theory, with which we are familiar, can the governor expect the senate to con firm a nominee because he is satis- fled that the nominee is fit. On the other hand, upon no theory, with which we are familiar, is the gover- nor obliged to accept the nominations suggested to him by the senate.
 The state at large will form it's own Judgment of the character of execu- tive nominations and of senatorial &C., tion. If as has been asserted, MT. Caldwell is not fitted for the post of highway commissioner, and Govern or Baldwin insists upon nominating him because he believes he is fit, the state senate, with it's Democratic majority. will win applause by rejecting him,
 and thus at the very outset of sts career add an interesting chapter to the history of the growth of political independence in the good old state of Connecticut.
