district court plan has won much APP
prevail and has even been given the Of
fetal sanction Of law bodies as well as
the judicial council Of the state. But
the Legislature has turned down all eff
forts to put the district court plan into
practice. AS republican legislators blunt
ly put 1t after one rejection 1t would in
terfere with political patronage. Now
with democrats pretty definitely in con-
troll at Hartford, it remains to be seen
what their spokesman say when the bill
comes up next spring.
There is no doubt about district court
bill being introduced And what with
labor backing bill to elect all judges by
popular vote there will be merry old
battle by supporters of the both meas
ures to put their own particular one
across And there will also be merry
old battle by those members Of both par
ties who don't like to see the judgeship
appointments get away from the Legis-
lature. In the interests Of the state the
innovation is certain to win popular sup
port, but that isn't legislative.

Do Your Political Shopping Early

Apparently local politicians have come
to the conclusion that it would not be a
bad idea to take page from the Christ
mas shoppers guide, namely, DO their
political shopping early. What, with
rumors at this early date OF primaries,
rnayoralty candidates and what not, 1t
indeed portends a spirited year IN the
way OF local politics.
Yet we still think any talk of 1887
politics at this early date, with the din OF
last months election scarcely died down,
trifle premature. Candidates and FAC
tions dragged forth at such an early date
are liable to find that by the time next
fall rolls around they have died ere their
prime. Such is the way Of fame.
However, the persistent rumor OF the
candidacy OF Senator George T. Culhane
for the democratic mayoralty' nominal
ton, which will neither down nor does
he himself deny, is a serious contempla-,
ton in our estimation at any stage OF
the game to the democratic high COM
mand and must be met and considered
Is such.
There is no gainsaying the fact but
what Senator Culhane has decided
political ambitions, laudable enough
desire, il they do not conflict with the
party welfare. None, we think, will deny
him that privilege So while he has not
publicly tossed his hat in the ring,
although it is generally thought he event
ually WILL. 1t is, as we intimated above,
probably not too early under those cir
cumstances for the prospective candi-
dates to start their political shopping.

Parkway Once Again

Every so often some one pops up with
the idea that parkway should be built
diagonally across this state, providing dl-
rect route from the New York state line TO
the Massachusetts. The idea Is to link
New York city and Boston by an almost
straight overland route, eliminating all
the present curves and turns and sall1es
through Connecticut town and cities.
Some years ago private company en-
deavored to secure from the Connecticut
Legislature the right to build such a
uper-highway across this state. The right
was refused.
Now plan is advanced to connect the
end of the Merit Parkway in Fairfield
county with Hartford, thus giving the
capital of Connecticut direct access to
New York, via the Hutchinson River Park
way. Yhis likewise, is not new. 1t has
been proposed before. In fact Connectl-
cut motorists have come to believe that
eventually the Merritt Parkway will be
carried far beyond it's present limits. In
that event we don't presume the park
way will carry on the name OF Merritt, as
this is, as we understand 1t, only to be
Fairfield county's tribute to a dist1n-
guished national legislator, Schuyler Mer-
iitt.
However, the present scheme deviates
slightly from that proposed some time
ago The original plan, as we recall II,
carried the Merritt Parkway into New Ha-
zen county and directly up into Hartford,
following many routes now in use. the
new project is to swing a parkway north
from the Merritt Parkway close to the
New York state line. 1t would pass
through North Greenwich, North STAN
ford, New Canaan, and Ridgefeld,
utilizing the roadbed OF an old and
abandoned railroad. At Ridgefield. the
parkway is branched, the western one go
Ing north to the Massachusetts state line,
the other one passing to the east and into
Hartford. No present roadways would
be used Perhaps this new parkway
would go right over Waterbury on an
airline.
Our only comment would be that be-
lore any new parkWays are contemplated
The present much-d discussed one should
re finished and actually ridden over by
ioubting-Thomas motorists.

Quality Goods

At recent meeting Of the National
Federation Of Sales Executives, speakers
emphasized change in the public at
titude toward the goods bought. Today
more people require quality goods" ac-
curately labeled and reasonably priced. II
they don't get what they want, one auth
ority warned, they will turn to coopera-
tives and restrictive legislation.
Successful manufacturers and sellers
recognize this demand and prepare mer-
chandise that meets it. The automobile
industry is an outstanding example OF
the profit to be made by raising quality
without upduly boosting. price.
Many factors have contributed to buy
ers' intelligence. The best advertising in
recent years has educated the public to
want good things and to get what 1t asks
for. Government agencies have taught
consumers much about standards in
measure and quality. Consumers Or
CARNATIONS, working for improved labor
conditions, have taught the public to look
for labels or brands which guarantee clean
manufacture, adequate wages and decent
working conditions for employees. The
movement is one which benefits all con-
cerned, from humblest worker to con-
sumner.

be found when temperatures range over

more in keeping with the balmy at

This is certainly thu day of the dog
all right. Not only &C dogs being bred
and raised in greater numbers, but peo-
pie are displaying a more marked at
tention to breed. And the little winsome
cocker spaniel, according to official fig
ures still reigns the favorite in 1885. His
jreign at the head of the dogdom I'M
doubtedly will continue through 1887 as
right now there doesn't seem to be a
breed that can challenge his supremacy
Styles in dogs change and no doubt
ten years hence the cocker spaniel will
be just another breed of dog as so many
other favorites of bygone years are. Right
at the present moment all eyes are
turned towards February when the an
nual Westminster Kennel club dog show
will be held in Madison Square Garden
February 10, IL, and ~. This Is to the
dog world what the World Series is to
baseball. 1t is figured that over 5000
dogs will be benched in the 1887 show,
which will be record.

The last red leaves of slimac down The hoofs

which the Rev. CoSrno Gordon

Der, was considering the Ponsonby
"Euthanasia" bill. The measure
II passed would have enabled ply
sicians to put incurablesl out OF
existence and removed the legal
penalty for cutting ones throat u
the operation did not succeed.
One OF the Lords Temporal In de-
nouncing the bill said that u
asked the peers to ignore the Al
mighty, IAN impertinence which
I hope the noble Lords will do well
to spurn." But when II came time
for the Archbishop Of Canterbury
to lend his voice TO the discussion
he had only fog 70 contribute 70
a solution Of the questi0n:--the
matter was one In which principle
contended with compassion; "
must be approached on the basis
of the clear moral principle that
no man was entitled TO take MS

one which should be left 70 the
medical profession In whose hon

favored rejection OF Lord Ponson-

tors, one Of whom, Lord Holder,
hopt,ed To his feet TO declare that
the medical profession should
wash their hands of the entire

any medico had identified himself
with the measure. The bill was
killed deader than the proverbial
