We heartily approve and endorse
the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt:
and Charles W. Fairbanks for presi-
dent and vice president of the United
States, and we hereby ratify th plat-
form of principles adopted by i na-
tional convention of the Republican
party on the twenty-second of June.
We specially endorse and approve
the administration of the Republican
party under Theodore Roosevelt on ac-
count of what has been done to abso-
lutely establish the gold standard; the
integrity and value of our national
currency; the establishment of peace.
freedom, order and prosperity in Porto
Rico and the Philippines; the work
of connecting the Pacific and tile At~
lantlc oceans by the lsthmlan canal;
the enforcement of laws concerning
the great corporations; the restoration
of arid lands of the United States. so
as to make them susceptible of culti-
vation; the settlement of the Alaskan
boundary question; the vigorous, dig-
nified, amicable policy in our dealings
wth foreign nations; and the steps
that have been taken to extend the
peace settlement of all international
differences by arbitration. ‘
We pledge the support of our rcpre
sentativo in Congress to the adminis-'
istration of 'l‘heodore Roosevelt in all
that he may do to extend the principle
of the peaceful arbitration of internu-
tionnl differences.
The policy of the Republican party
for forty years has been such protec-
tion as will develop American indus-
tries; und to the Republican party
alone can the people safely entrust
the power of make such readjust.
merit as business conditions may de-
mind.
We commend and highly approve the
wise action of Republican administra-
tions in the aisle of (.‘onnecticut. For
more than a quarter of a century Re-
publican general assemblies have con-
trolled nnd administered the affairs of
the state with wisdom, prudence and
success. Direct state taxcshave been
abolished. The revenues of the state
for fifteen years have been wisely col-
lected from railroad and insurance cor-
porations, banking institutions and
other sources which formerly yielded
no revenue to either the state or its
municipalities. With the growing
prosperity and wealth of the state, this
revenue from these sources has con-
stantly increased so that during the
last eight years the General Assembly
has been able to appropriate large
sums of money for the support of
schools. humane institutions, sick and
wounded soldiers, the improvement of
state highways, agricultural affairs and
rcformntories for boys and girls. The
increase of state income in the last
eight years has been Very largely in
excess of the increase in disbursements.
During the last live years the state
treasury has been able. from the sur-
plus revenues. to pay $238,009 of the
state debt. and at the close of this
fiscal year. the outstanding bonds of
the state are less than a million do].
iars. This business prudence and wise
expenditure of the funds belonging to
the state, all of which have been for
the best interests of all the people of
the state, have received, and wlli'corl-
tinue to receive, the endorsement and
approval of all those citizenspf Con-
necticut who are interested in the best
welfare of all its people. »
The special appropriations made by
the last General Assembly. for two
years for the care. of theinsane. the
deaf. the dumb and the blind; the hos-
'pitais and sick and wounded soldiers
of the state: for the county homes. and
the schools ,for boys and girls; for the
improvement-“ school facilities for,
the children in the small towns of the
state, and for good roads. deserve our
special ‘approval and commendation.

Used Tobey In MUMIP'TPIIIU in
Quaint Old Delaware.
At the recent trial of a woman for
murder at Dom-er. Del. many quaint
iurymen, after being chosen. were or-
dered by. the crier to “go to the book"
an then were sworn "on the iloly
Evangelist: of Almighty God." The
sheriff was-ordered to bring the pr;s-
oner to the bar and he and his deputy
went out and to the Jail. After an
imerval back they march across the
village green. the sheriff in the lead
carrying a red stick. on the end of
which was a white spearhead.
Behind him came the prisoner in a
black dress, and wearing black cot~
ton gloves and a large blacicllat with
a veil drawn closely over her "ace.
Behind her came the deputy Clill,-l.l,2
a black spear. This is a perpetuation
of the old English custom. ext-opt
that spears arc used instead of bat’tlo
axes.
The rod stick and while spears
signify that blood has been shed and
the black spear is an omen of the
doom that threatens the prisoner.
The place of the black spear is in
the rear of’illc procession unless there
should be a Conviction. when it is
carried at the-front to show that you.
geance has triumphed and the whltc
spear followsto show the cause of
the impending punishment.
Solcm'nly' “through the crowded
courtroom, hlished'in awe. came tillll
queer little procession. The white
spear traversed the space in front of
the prisoner's dock. a small inclosuro
screened by an oak railing fll‘ly six
feet high. The black sprar stopped
at the further end. and Mrs. Powell
was told to sit down. The spears
were propped against the pillars oi
the dock. and there they stayed on
long as the prisoner remained in the
court room. ‘ ‘
The indictment in ancient phrase.
ology fixed the value of the weapon
used, "a knife and a certain bottle,"
at 10 cents because the old law pro-
sumcd them the property of the state.
and it charged Mrs. Powell in ‘wordy
detail with having committed 'tho
murder “without having the i‘csrof
God before her eyes and being moved
lll’ldrst‘dlli‘éd by tho Instigation of tho
dcvil."' ' ' ,
in the awesome language of the
English liiw 'the trier read from the
indictment a description of each and
every one of tile 53 wounds found on?
the girl's body. ills enumeration he;

An Elephant Goes Wrong.
One of the more recent instances
of‘ bad elephants was Barnum &

"Mandarin," who killed thre‘e men and
maimed a fourth. and was finally
strangled by a steam winch on board
the steamship Minneapolis. Justbefore

no inclination toward ugliness . until
a substitute strainer was duped into
putting the tricky‘old rascal through
his needs. The man laid himself flat
on the'ground to have the elephant
walk over him. exactly as the big
clown had walked over men thousands
of times before. As usual, the beast
