Remarks On Memorials

 Editor of the Herald:
 With your permission. want tt
 respectfully challenge the idea se
 forth in the editorial of yesterday''
 Herald, that a monument 10 the dead
 can have no reference to the needs ot the living except in reminding them
 of the virtues of those who have died
 Since when has this idea been gener- ally accepted?
 It is not the purpose of this article to decry such memorials. The found = CT Of the Christian religion plainly 1 taught that even the lavish gifts of memorial love should not be restrain ed, but is not every Christian church, I every hospital and orphan asylum q better monument to the healing, up lifting principles of the gospel that Jesus taught than the costly spikenard that Mary poured upon his head,
 This seems 10 have been the un- deriving thought of those who had the inscription carved in St. Pauls ! cathedral, London. to commemorate the architect. Sir Christopher Wren: 'Si monumentum requiris, circum- spice.' If you would see my monu- ment. look around you"
 Similarly Bushnell park in Hart ford, which the vision of Hartford's most ilustrious citizen caught and suggested to the city when it was only the dumping ground of ashes and other rubbish. makes fitting monu- ment to this department of his genius, which is more generally ap- preciated by all who walk in it and are entranced with it's beauty than his bust carved in the east end of the capitol So Woolsey hall in New Ha- ven, daily to the, students and annually at Commencement 10 the alumni and friends, calls to mind the name and virtues of one of its most distinguish ed scholars and eX-presidents, more than his statue in bronze on the uni versity grounds.
 At public meeting in the old high school room, called to consider m onument for those who died in inc CIVIL War, it was the privilege of the writer, with the lamented founder and editor of The Herald. 10 fight hard for a memorial library building, | to be built for the New Britain InSi | ute, m which there would be a slab | with the names of those who had died | to preserve the nation. as Andovar. | Mass, and other cities and towns had | built, which we thought would be | more distinctly appreciated as a me morial than the conventional soldiers monument. We were outvoted. and perhaps, it was better so, since inc splendid generosity of Mir. Erwin sub seauently provided the library build ng for the Institute. but mention he incident 10 show that members of he same family can have different opinions upon the subject now before he minds of New Britain people.
 With all due respect to the monu- nent on Franklin Square 10 the mem. 'rr Of that native Of New Britain 'ho has brought more distinction and 'onor to our town than has any other 't its sons. because of his persistent 'Horts to establish that permanent tribunal Of the nations, the need of "hich is now so much felt, I believe he F.lihu Burritt school and the Rpr.

They Got His Number

Once upon q time there was com- pany. Every resident in a certain town bought stock in it. As time progressed, money was lost.
 So the stockholders had a receiver appointed. Matters went from bad to worse, however. An owner of several shares discovered that the receiver was crooked,
 He thereupon called up all his fel- low stockholders and they-hung up the receiver.

HIS LIFE STORY

Of the way the final and victorious
Davis boom started with a rush.
There was still much 'jockeying
to do. but Davis hackers, now sup
ported by Smiths adherents, did it
in efficient style. The Smith men
first threw their strength against
Davis, and the McAdoo delegates,
still bitter against Smith and in IA
vor of anything his supporters OPP
posed, Immediately rallied to the
West Virginian's colors. When Nc
Adoo's delegates had committed
themselves too far to step back, the
Smith men suddenly switched over
and joined them. On the 1880 bal
lot, with virtually all his opposition
melted away, Davis walked in as an
easy victor.
The vice presidential nomination
of Governor Charles w. Bryan of
Nebraska quickly followed. The
Nebraskan's brother, William Jen-
nings Bryan, had opposed Davis dur
ing the convention because of his
Wall Street and corporation connec-
tions. but. the nominations made,
he grasped Davis hand, declaring:
Il shall be glad to do anything I
can. I am at your service at all
times"
The Khan and liquor issues were
lost in the shuttle, religious bitter
ness relegated to the discard. Thus,
in politics. is the Ratchet quickly
