into ways of vice and trouble, but
 it Is without excuse when they delib-
 erately abandon them to the nrercies Tof a, cruel world simply that they may
 be free from their care There are
 many instances where parents arc
 physically or financially unable to care
 for the offspring, but there are ways
 provided whereby good care can be
 insured them if such conditions actu-
 ally prevail. Self denial. however car iries most parents a. long way before even such a, step is thought of, SC
 strong is the desire to do for and
 to keep the family together.
 When it is revealed in their trial that this couple, who were not actu- ated by poverty, had even talked of dropping their youngest out of a car
 window in order to get rid of it, and had attempted to kill them by gas, it is perhaps as well that the children have been separated from their in- 5uence, but 1t will not be too much if they are required to serve out their full sentence.
 Parental responsibility may never be assumed alike by all people but there can be no condoning of such wilful disregard for the future of young and helpless children. It Is a practice which makes paupers and criminals and diametrically opposite to what any parent should pursue.

IIsING STATE MONEY.

It must he apparent to the members of the legislature that if they arc going to listen to the voice Of their constituents in the insistent demands for the practice of economy, for the bringing of the finances to Q, business oasis and the governing of the outgo A-y the income, an early start must be made.
 This session thus far is not differ ing from any in tine past as to the number Of petitions for state money. That was to be expected. but it does not necessarily mean that everything that is asked for should be granted. There are expenditures which must le made and there are those which should take precedent over others, in part if not in full. while there are thoss to which little consideration can he given in view of the limited treas my Connecticut must cut it's gar ment according to the cloth.
 When the effort Is made to secure expert advice upon ways and means without the recommendation of the finance committee and without con- sulting such authorities as the state already has under pay, it is a propo- Sition which deserves to be killed promptly and effectively. It is a, ten dency to extravaganza without first eNhausting the advantag ges at hand and utilizing those who are in closest touch with the existing situation Massachusetts had confidence in the ability of Tax Commissioner Corbin in wrestling with it's financial prob lenls and certainly Connecticut knows what an asset he is to this common wealth and it will not be utilizing it's resources unless it takes advantage uf him.
 The petitions which have been made for the increase of the salaries of state officials presents another matter which IS hardly consistent with the existing conditions. It might get more sym pathy if the state was showing d sur plus instead of a deficit each year. State officials as a, rule are pretty well bald and it is q. poor time to be urG- ing the increase in salaries when the state is steadily running in debt, and at the present time it does not sec .. way to overcome it. There are better and more deserving ways of Hsing it's income. Petitions for the lowering of salaries would be more appropriate
 The fact is. economy and sound bus mess principles must be kept in mind throughout the entire legislative pro gram.

HOUSE DID DUTY,

By upholding the veto of. President Wilson and administering a defeat to the immigration bill and it's highly objectionable literacv test, the house of representatives fulfilled the trust that was placed in them. Three times has this piece of legislation passed con- sress, three times has it received the Veto of as many presidents and three times has the veto been sustained. Having been defeated three times it is due for a long, long rest and it would not be missed if it was never heard from again.
 The fact is that it is time to try Ia new solution of tho problem. The aim of the immigration bill is to place a restriction upon the coming of the unworthy from foreign countries to the United States. This should be done. however, without preventing the wor- thy from receiving a. proper welcome. That the Iitcracy test has failed does not mean that this cannot be accom- pIshed for surely that is not the prop CT method of determining the fitness Of those who arc capable Of becoming good citizens and contributing to the future of the land
 It ought not to be difficult for those who are in close touch with the sit- uatlon and the good features of the vetoed bill to draft a measure which will meet the demands of the existing situation in a, fair and iustidaoIe man ner consistent with American ideas. Opposition has not developed to req sonable restriction. but against the m fair method involved in the lftaracv test. The best judgment has prevail ed and it should be taken into consid- eration in such future bills as are pre- sented

NOT A MATTER TO COMPROMISE

From the herculean efforts that are being made by the democrats 1t is evident that there is a realization by the administration that the ship pur- chase bill hangs by the slenderest of threads. The last and only hope rests upon the ability to effect a con1pro1nise but 1t IS d matter upon which tIlerg should be no compromise even though such amendments as might be made would remove some of the harmful provisions and improve the mea sure
 There have been revealed enough dangerous features to this piece of hurried legislation to insure it's defeat. When such a. bill teens with interna- tonal complications, when it involves such an unwsrranted expenditure of money and when it gives such fine promise of an economic failure it is a good thing to abandon, com promise or no compromise. Much time has been utilized in bringing congress to a real ization of what troublesome legislation 1t was heading towards, but it will not have been wasted if Q it prevents the enactment of what one senator has termed the most dangerous and vicious measure ever ca1endared by congress. E5ven those who are being taunted with unhorsing their party can rest sasy in the knowledge that it is better to unhorse their party than to uh- horse the nation over a bill that is fundamentally wrong.

love my country and wish to serve her. I am guilty of no crime
 C In spite of these expressions of loy- alty, they fell upon the deaf ears of of violating the law and was sentenced to two years Imprisonment. The demonstration that followed the sen- terce was so violent that 23 arrests were necessary. Upon being taken back to hls cell the Duke drew back the curtain which covered the window and saluted the crowd.
 The Count of Paris, who arrived at Porto Rico on the day that sentence was pronounced, then first learned of the arrest of his son. He immediately sent a cable dispatch to N. Baucter, an Orleanist member of the Chamber of Deputies, saying: Ny heart is with my dear prisoner"
 Orleans continued in jail until June 3, 1890. nearly four months, when he was pardoned by President CaTnot and eziled. On the same night he was con- ducted to the Swiss frontier by the Duke de Luynes. arriving in Brusseie on the 5th, where he was met at the railway station by one of the royal carriages and conveyed to the palace, where he took breakfast with King Leopold. The following day he arrived his father and a large number ot friends and where he was given a most cordial reception.
 Since his punishment the Duke of Orleans has lived at various points in Europe, in England, in Belgium and in Spain. Less and less is France inclined again to take up a monarchy, and more and more is the Duke giving up the idea of ever becoming the sover- eiSn of inst country, but instead ha s been devoting his life to corporations and to writing on this subject

GERMANY's WARNING.

Iu attempting to create a war zone about the British Isles and France and establish what might amount to a blockade of the ports of those coun- tries, Germany has undertaken an am bilious program and especial interest will be directed to the answer which is made to the request by one of the ncu- trals for the meaning of the an nouncement.
 Germany has suffered from the blockade of her ports which Great Britain has been able by it's large navy to establish. It is now apparent ly determined to retaliate and from the fact that it's navy has been so in effective throughout this part of the struggle, reliance is apparently being placed upon a different move. That Germany is not prepared to blockade British and French ports in a manner such as is usually associated with such a, term Is evident, and admitted, but in view of the extensive opera tions which have been made Of late by it's submarines it is to be inferred that the plan of action is through the use of such craft and possibly the scattering of mines
 Much uncertainty exists as to just what Germany intends to convey by its warning, or whether it is simply intended for the purpose of frighten- ing off, not only British commerce, but also neutral traffic and 1t is that fea- ture which concerns more than the belliSerent nations. It is q matter in which Germany should be explicit that the neutrals may not only be on their guard, but that they may pro- tect their rights.

FAMOUS TRIALS
TRIAL OF DUKE OF ORLEANS.

The present Duke of Orleans. Louis Philippe Robert, the pretender to the throne of France, has had a stormy career through the most part of his life. When his father, the Comte de Paris, the Duke was oxffed from thereafter he served with the English army in India, and upon his return and having obtained his majority, he entered Paris on Feb. I, 1890, express ing his desire as q. FTenchman, to per form his military service.
 This act on the part Of the Duke caused great excitement, and he was arrested in conformity with the law of 1SS6, which forbade the soil of France to the direct heirs of the fam flies which had reisned there.
 When the Duke reached Paris on Feb. T.. he was driven to the home of Duke de Luynes, where he was ar rested and taken to the Prefecture of Police. On the afternoon of the same day he was aTrajgned before the mil itary authorities, following which the Minister of Interior M. Constans, or dered that he be held in custody. He was placed in the Conciergerie Prison.
 On the first day of his trial, when the charges were read to him, his only reply was that he had come to France to perform his military duties and drafted a letter to President Car not, stating his desire to serve his 
 The trial was continued until the fol- lowing Wednesday, Feb. r. On that last day the crowd of spectators was so large and so demonstrative in favor of young Orleans that the gendarmes were compelled to clear the room. Dur ing the hearing the Duke asked his counsel not to defend him. He said that he had learned in exile to honor the magistracy and respect it's deci- sion. If condemned by the Court he was sure of acquittal at the hands of 200,000 couscripts of his class, who were more fortunate than he had been and who were able to serve their coun- try.
 The counsel for the defendant de- clared that the Dukes act was the re- suit of a generous impulse and would be an honor to him throughout his life The counsel further contended that the law imposing military service upon all Frenchmen nUllified the law relat- ing to the exile of princes.
 The Duke addressed the Court in his own behalf. He said: T came to France to serve as a common soldier. have nothing to do with politics, which only concerns my father, whose obedieut son and faithful servant am. I knew that by entering France I rendered myself liable to the law, but that knowledge did net atpp me. I

WHY BAD SPELLING?

CWritten Specially for The Bulletin.) A little reflection will convince one that correct spelling is learned in three ways:
 By eye.
 2-By ear.
 3-By trick.
 Pupils taught in the oId-fashioned method of the country schools, with their frequent spelling matches when it was an honor never to be spelled down. will tell you that they recall just how the words looked in the long columns which they used to study so diligently When doubtful as to the spelling of any word the way the en- tire column looked is frequently re- called. This is a case where the eye helped.
 Helpful too, was the method of some instructors of having children write any nis-speiled word fifty or sixty times in it's correct form. Such d word was likely to stick!
 When pupils spelled puzzlin5 words in concert, as they used to do in the memory, the ear helped. In most spelling books, words sounding alike are grouped, from the time the small child begins with at. cat, bat fat. mat and so on. The sense of hearing is an aid here.
 But with what might be called the srbitrsrinesS of so many words in the English language, where analogy can not be depended upon to aid, learning to spell correctly by trick seems the only refuge.
 It may be trick of contrast: as. for instance,
 j-u-d m -e-n-t
 j-u-d-s s-e-s-h-i-p, two words rnis-speIled bv nine per- sons out of ten.
 Maybe it is the trick of phonetic pronunciation, as in the case of a word almost universally mis- spelled:
 gauge. Or another upon which so many creed, or previous condition of re- spectability:
 Having Mayflowsr ancestry, or boasting a college degree, fails to in- the taint of poor spelling. An ac- quaintance who knows six languages still writes, sep-E-rate. Now. why cannot this particular word, the stumbling. block of so many thousands, be taught in such 2. way that the knowledge of 1t will "stay put' in everybody's memory? It seems simple enough to group, for instance pTep-a-Fa.-t rep-a-ra- ton, separation so that no person need be guilty ot writing the last with an ei Every little while, college presidents and school superintendents will risf in revolt against the bad spells ir
