How Americans Like Bermuda

An American consul at Hamilton, Bermuda. says that 42,S67 first class passengers from the United States vis- ited Bermuda during the calendar year 1882 on the regular liners. In addi- tion there were 29.324 passengers on cruise ships visiting Bermuda last year, so that the total number of American visitors can safely be said to be more than 10000. While the con- sulate could not give figure about the expenditures, other estimates place the amount from $S,OOO.O00 to $1O,- 100000.

How Refiectors Are Polished

Lamp rehectors should not be cleaned except when absolutely neces- sary, as they are often silver plated and easily spoiled. To clean refectors use a very soft. clean cloth or pow dered dry rouge and chamols skin. without using pressure and rub in a circular motion. If a reflector becomes tarnished or scratched take it to sill ver-plater and have it buffed. It can not be properly polished in any other way.

ard of values, which will be hoarded in a small way. .. I confess to a desire to see limited boarding of money, but I want to see a hoarding of something that is the standard of value the world over. Silver is this.
 It was felt at the time by President Grant that the count ry which was burdened with an immense debt and prostrate from the effects of the Civil War would soon resume a spec ie basis and recover rapidly as a result. He did not dream that he had signed a bill de- stroying the very thing that was our only hope for salvat- ion.
 On October 2, 1893, Ion. James H. Kyle on the floor of the United States Senate said:
 ''There is almost a revolution today, MT. President, through tampering with the monetary standards. The people protest against the attempt to bring the country and the world t' a gold standard. It has been proven. I think, tha; sll- yer is less variable than gold, and therefore should be pre- served as measuring stand ard"
 It has been asked, if the de- monetization of silver threat ened disaster in 1893, why then did that disaster not over- take us? The answer to that question is very simple. Tie discovery of the great South African gold mines, the dis covery of the Klondike gold fields, the discovery of the gold ores of Cripple Creek, to say nothing of the discovery of the cyanide process for the recov- cry of gold from ores, turned a stream of gold into the chan nels of trade. It was this alone that averted a disaster at that time. Bimetallism is no! an American institution. Silver and gold together have served mankind efficiently and faith fully as standards of value for five thousand years.
 Let us see what some of the worlds greatest thinkers out side of America have had to say about this.

The funeral wreath is believed to be a survival of the belief that de parted spirits must be provided with comforts. The custom of using flow CTS at funerals is very ancient. The Egyptians adorned their mummies with flowers and the mourners car. ried them.

Some Pertinent Facts Relating To Bimetallism. By William A. Hesse. (Third Installment)

In the year 1840 during the monetary debates in Congress the illustrious Henry Clay made the following observat- ions:
 "The proposed substitution of an exclusive metallic currency to the mixed medium with which we have been so long familiar, is forbidden by the principles of eternal justice. All property will be reduced in value to one-third of its pres ent nominal amount, and every debtor would, in effect, have to pay three times as much as he contracted for. The press ure of our foreign debt would be three times as great as it is; while the six hundred millions, which is the sum now probably due the banks from the people, would be multiplied to eight cen hundred millions! If cur rency be greatly diminished, how is this debt to be eXting- uished? Property, the re- source on which the debtor re- lied for payment, will decline in value, and it may happen that man who honestly con- tracted a debt on the faith of property which had value at the time, fully adequate to warrant the debt, will find himself stripped of all his property and his debt remain ing unextinguished. But if this policy of money be injur- Ir.ous to the debtor class it is still more disastrous on the laboring classes"
 On the third day of October, 1873, nearly eight months af- ter he had signed the fraudu- lent demonetization bill uncon- scious of what he did, President Grant wrote to his friend, MT. Cowdry, in which he said:
 ''I wonder why it (silver) is not already coming into the market to supply the deficiency in the circulating medium. i Silver will gradually take the place of currency, and further, will become the st d.

A New Solomon Arises

Tonight we wish to pay homage to Fed eral Judge Ira Lloyd Let's of Providence. K. I. He recently refused to issue an order to destroy S64.000 worth of eonfiscated liquor and had it distributed instead for use in public hospitals in the state. To say that this is an extraordinary decree is putting it mildly. Yet it can't be said to be a direct Haunting of the laws or of justice. It is jus- tice tempered with the milk of human kind ness. If more of this type of justice was dispensed we'd have better nation.
 Commenting upon his decision Judge Let's said, Why destroy this fine liquor by throwing it bottle for bottle against a con- crete wall when it can be put to good use?" He also pointed out that the average hospital today is increasing its deficit annually with no way out. If it was possible for him to give some aid to them he was ready and willing to do so To forestall any compli- cations the liquor was tested and found to be of high grade.
 We don't imply by our praise of Federal Judge Let's that every justice in the nation should pass similar decrees with regard to confiscated liquor. Nothing of the sort. But when such valuable collection of liquors-whiskey brandy and champagne as was in possession of the federal authori- ties in Rhode Island had to be disposed of certainly it was creditable to put it to useful purpose. We only wish that some- times principles were sacrificed or slightly amended to permit more actions of this kind Dairymen pour hundreds of gallons of milk on the ground as protest against prices, while children all over the country lack this health-producing fluid and civic groups struggle to raise funds to provide milk for all school children. What futile gesture with want on every side of us

World News

Some interesting facts about the an- nouncement of the 15,000 word report of the League of Nations on the Chino-Jap- anese situation have been overlooked be- cause of the significance of the report itself. In the first place, it was broadcast through the Leagues own wireless station from Geneva. The message was sent out in the ln- ternational Morse code, in English, on two sending machines, one for the east and one for the west It took ten hours to complete the task.
 Although the Geneva station can trans init words at the rate of l30 minute, and various stations can receive as high as 150. the broadeasting was done at no more than 30 words minute. The slow speed was maintained for the sake of stations such as Buenos Aires, which can receive no faster, and also to allow unknown receivers who might be taking the message by hand to get it in full" The New York Times got the report on its own receiving station and seems to have been the only newspaper in the world to print the entire text. The naval station at Washington, which usually handles only communications with other naval stations and with ships at sea- copied the entire report. ....
 The report itself was addressed to ''all ships and stations" and was broadcast as pub lie property. Here was amazing recognition not only of the importance of the report, but also of the right of big powers and lesser ones, governments, newspapers and private citizens. to have it immediately and at first hand. It was magnificent effort to inform the whole world promptly of events and conclusions which are of profound im- portance to all of us. There was no sec- recy, no favoritism, but a straightforward statement of facts for the world to hear and judge.

No Censor Voted

New Britain democrats were considerably incensed over the fact that Senator William E. Hagearty of that city was among the three democratic senators bolting their party last week in test vote on minor court judgeships. As result special meeting Of the democratic town committee was called Monday night at which the New Britain legislator who incidentally, will probably be named judge of the New Britain city court, was to be officially eensured. In ad- dition his resignation as member of the town committee was to be demanded. At the end of a stormy two hour session motions for both the above actions were tabled until the next meeting.
 We doubt if any such group will take action against the three democratic senators involved in the alleged "deal' with republi- can legislators to exchange patronage. If there is to be actual censor of the offending politicians it will have to come at the polls in 1884. And we don't doubt but what the offenders will have the sense not to put themselves in a position where they can be stoned at that time. If they seek reelection to their present positions it will be merely putting on a brave front. And doubtless since their actions reveal some sort of an agreement to trade patronage they will be well taken care of for several years.
 As we regard the New Britain incident it was merely gesture and it was perhaps the wisest thing to table the matter and to continue to do this indefinitely There will be censor enough given the three demo- cratic backslders in the remaining weeks of the Legislature They are marked men now We don't doubt but what record will be kept and perhaps published of every vote in which they engage. This should be in- dietment plain enough for all to see. What more need be done. Perhaps from this reve- lation of political conniving will emerge

CROSS AFTER COURT REFORM,
 NOT JOBS
Bridgeport Times-Star)


 In some sources, the impression may be prevalent that Governor Wilbur l.. Cross, in attempting to direct the Democratic senators to-. ward a deadlock on minor court ap- pointments until the district court bill has been acted upon, is play ing for patronage.
 There is no justification for this view in the careful statements which the governor has made in regard to the situation.
 With the general assembly, the entire question is obviously one Of patronage. The governor, however, is making his fight in an effort to have the district court bill enacted. He asks the senators to play the game squarely, with some show, at least, of sincerity, by delaying the appointment of any judges until the bill has been either defeated or passed.
 He considers it ludicrous to sup pose that any of the senators would work wholeheartedly for the district court bill after judges had already been appointed under the old sys- tenn. Yet the bill is included in the democratic platform. #
 The governor is not after demo- cratic judges. He is after new court system.
 If that court system is defeated at the hands of the general assem- bly,, as is probable, he will not at- tempt to tie the hands of the dem- ocratic senators. They may, if they wish, split the patronage with the republicans. The governor, how ever, would prefer that the demo- crats fight for the principle of ex- ecutive nomination, by throwing all the appointment into a deadlock which would leave the appoint ments to him after the adjourn ment of the assembly.
 Governor Cross is directing no patronage fight. He is directing a fight on legislation. Patronage merely happens to be involved, as weapon. For any of the democra- tic senators to refuse to go through with him on a proposition of this sort would be one of the lowest demonstrations of interruptions politics in the history of Connecti- eft

Fast Work on Prohibition Repeal
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Some people are actually blam- ing Senator Borah of Idaho, who Is still a dry. Borah voted against the Blaine proposal under which the constitution would have ban- ned the saloon, and the Blaine resolution lost by one vote.If the no-saloon amendment had gone in- to the repeal resolution the vets wouldn't have voted for it and there wouldn't have been any chance of repeal at this session.
 But they might as well blame Democratic Leader Joe Robinson of Arkansas, who last year was roaring to National Chairman John J. Raskob that he couldn't mail the skull and crossbones of an outlawed liquor traffic" to the democratic masthead.
 Borah voted against the mo- saloon provision because he felt the saloon couldn't be suppressed un- less liquor was suppressed, but Robinson suddenly went the whole hog for virtually naked" repeal.
 The section prohibiting transpor- tation into dry states is Robinson's work. He compromised with Speak CT Garner, who had promised the house wouldn't consider any re- peal not absolutely naked" but Garner had the better of the conn promise.
 Although there had been appre- hension about how state conven- tions to ratify repeal should be or- ganized, leaders of the wet major ity apparently acted on the theory that any old kind of a convention would do. But there will still be argument on that point.

Memorial exercises for the late Calvin Coolidge were held in the Massachusetts Legislature today. A proclamation issued by Governor Ely reads: Three citizens of Massachusetts, John Adams, John Quincy Adams. and Calvin Coolidge. became Presi- dent of the United States. Time alone writes epitaphs. History already has given
 its estimate of the two members of the Adams family. The time has not yet come to give a true estimate of the service rendered to our state and to the nation by Calvin Coolidge. Those who stand within the circle of life are too near to take true measure of character or of influence. Fifty years hence our children will receive the estimate of history. It is. however, fitting that his contempor- aries should express their esteem and affec- ton for him - glad that they knew him and their recognition of what he did and was.

A Book a Day a
 by BRUCE CATION
They're All
 About Alike

The movie business in France seems to be just as dizzy as 1t IS in Hollywood, if not a little bit more so.
 This, at any rate, is the im- pression one gathers from read. ing of "Desire-Spanish Version" by Evelyn Eaton, a sprightly lit- tie novel which tells of the doings of various folk who work in @ big film studio in Paris.
 All of the assorted lunacies which have been accredited to Hollywood are to be found in this Parisian studio. We are shown ignorant and conceited directors swimming through schools of yes- men, childish actors and actresses, overworked minor officials who really get the job done and get paid in abuse, cantankerous me- chanical experts, swarms of half starved extras-the whole familiar entourage, in other words.
 And to make matters worses these folk labor under the disad- vantages of the Hollywood sys- tenn, but they don't get Hollywood pay. The French are frugal folk, and all except those on the very top of the heap seems to spend half their time wondering where the next meal is coming from.
 The story, itself is pretty thin. It tells about a Appeared violin- ist who tries working in the stu- dio, gets fired, lets script girl support him, ditches her for an- other woman and finally winds up as first violin in a movie theater orchestra.
 Published by Morrow, the book sells for $2.

$15,0O0 class. Two hundred and 22 have had salaries from $5,O00 to $12,000, the compensation allow ed the chief justice of the high courts.
 Pay-as-you-go Connecticut has not had an excessive salary list, which is one of the reasons of it's remarkable fiscal position. And it should be borne in mind that the standard of wagesnow disclosed has existed but little more than five years.
 Very few states could match our own in such salaries as these: 1n- surance commissioner, 5000; pulp lie utilities chairman S10,000; bank commissioner $7,O00; h ig hway commissioner, $8,000; labor com- missioner, $6,000; dairy commits sioner. $5.000; tax commissioner, $9,OO0; police commissioner, &C., 900; health commissioner, $S,000; commissioner of motor vehicles, 5000; finance commissioner, $10.- 900.
 The state elective officers have also always ben paid moderately. New York state for example has been paying its governor about five times the amount of Governor Cross $5,000 salary.

 Washington The Washington correspondents will never quite get over the way in which congress, with lightning speed, suddenly grabbed the prohibition repeal a. mendment and hurled it back to the states.
 Every last man of the journalis- tic corps had that repeal issue bur- jed so deep that it couldn't possl- bly be dug up until MT Roosevelt and his new congress came along and resurrected it. So it is only natural that they should now be feeling g. deep distrust of congress in addition to the contempt with which they ordinarily regard it. When a lame duck congress IS 1n-
 tered as a dead duck congress,
 it ought, in all decency, to stay
 dead.
 It required a series of flip Hops and tumbles to turn the trick, but the quick passage in both houses appears to demonstrate with star ting conviction that the surge Of wet sentiment, temporarily qui- escen, is sweeping even more pow erfully than had been supposed. The vets have gerat confidence that they can get the states to ratify
 repeal in short order.
 The unexpected speed and mini mum of debate with which the resolution was rushed through was all the more surprising since the appropriation bills, which are nec-
 essary if the government IS to operate and are regarded as the routine but highly essential busi- ness of congress, are begged down
 with no very bright chances of all
 being passed at this session. At the same time, the complete and unanimously expressed conf1- dence that this miserable congress wouldn't pass any legislation was considerably diminished.
 Meanwhile, the drps appear to be more than ever demoraiZed ana seem to have much less confidence than they had at the first Of the wear. The repeal resolution writes the provisions of the Webb-Kenyon Act, prohibiting transportation of Iiauor into dry states, into the constitution, but that was a mere SOD to a few fearful members of congress and not in any sense a concession to the organized drys. The drys are going to have a big meeting in a Washington church early in March and undoubtedly
 will protest, but that doesn't seem to offer much hope. Edward B. Dunford, the Anti
 Saloon leagues attorney and its | strongest man who will be in l charge of any possible legal moves
 to block repeal, has issued a fam ing statement which merely ac- cuses drys of turning wet and of
 vets turning wetter than they pre-
 tended to be. He promised that the people would defeat "traitorous" | politicians.
