A striking metaphor
plyoed by a speaker in
House of Representatives:
Burnes, of Greenwich," he said.
“cracking the party whip, was like
the hind hoof or an ass striking upon
the strings of a sacred harp.” This
we say a striking metaphor. It Is
original, and compels attention If only
for its novelty. But It has a fault.
However obviously appropriate the ill-
troductlon of the figure of the ass may
be, there Is some obscurity as to what
Is‘lllttillll. by the "sacred harp." It
puts too much of a straill on the Int-
aglnation to suppoae the present
session fading away in the odor of
sonctity.»8tamford Advocate.

facts are well known to the people of

ques Ion: "Does the fact that this
property is worth ",000 more for a
saloon than its actual value explain
the activity of some of those who ap-
pealed for more police protection in
Chapel street, and «usefully the ex-
traordinary position taken by you in
your public letter?" The financial facts
in the case and your letter, Mr. Chair-
man. have raised this question in the
minds of many thoughtful people. The
people of Norwalk. as we have reason
to know, are watching this situation
. with keen interest.
In view of the facts of the case as
we have revealed them; In view of
the disreputable character of the sa-
loon in the question; ill view of the
fact that this saloon keeper has been
convicted of one of the meanest
crimes on the calendar—selling intoxi-
cating liquors to children; in view of
the fact that the plan to use the Po-
lice. Department to save this saloon
has been well aired; in view of the
fact that were the saloon banished
there would be no call for the police—-
In view of all these facts. If In spite of

In reply would state:
i. As chairman of the police coul-

when the taxpayers from Chapel

ask for police protection. and a cour

closes the fact that he claims the

payers and residents of that street.

will accomplish your purpose of de-
priving a certain place of a liquor II-

signers of the petition, as being used
as catspaws. It occurs to me that
your letter is an effort to make it cuts-
paw of me and of the council of the
City of Norwalk. anti its police force.
A practical request for me to re-
fuse efficient police protection where
you and the chief of police claim that
protection is lacking. sounds very

endeavoring to enforce certain laws

This rule is even enforced at the card

of giving cards of admission to any

be a difficult matter for some crank
to gain entrance and make trouble. it

HARTFORD, August l2.—-'l‘ho
house yesterday passed the cornlpt
practices act which repeals the inci-
fective present law and defines what
corrupt practices are and provides for
their punishment through the cilan-
nels of the regular criminal courts.
Amendments were adoted lncludinli
the hiring of public speakers as a legi-
tlmate expense pad allowing the car-
rying of persons to the polls. Mr.
Bishop offered an amendment in re-
gard to the printing and distributing
of ballots, which, however, was found
to be unnecessary as the senate had
a few moments before It passed the
Australian ballot bill. llefbro this was
known, however, the bill was tabled
upon luotion of Mr. lklrlnitzcr. of
Woodbury. Mr. HIII’III‘S, of Greenwich.
objected to this cililliil‘, and tile meas-
ure was again talu-u from the table
and another Rlllt'iiililll'ill was subluli-
ted by Mr, Illsllop. of New Haven.
which provided that any ult-lnber of
the general assembly should be unit-tr
able to the penalties of the act, III the
case of buying of votes This amend-
ment was adopted IlIllI Representative
Cary. of Soutllingtou, moved that the
whole matter be ludefitlitcly postpolr
ed. Tlllii was put to vote and Mr.
Gary‘s voice was the only out- which
broke the silence. Another sllglll
amendment was made lly Representa-
tive Hayes and the bill as ntnendld
was adopted. The all tl-petlling the
act concerning restrictions on the
manufacture of electricity over which
It was expected there would be quite
ll contest was tabled to allow the
house to become familiar with Illi'
.lcllnte amendments which had not yet
been printed. The matter will proba-
bly come up again tomorrow. The bill
concerning the practice of dentistry
was adopted after having been amend
ed so that it would not allow a great
many persons to enter the profession
as they would have done under the
original bill. without the necessity of
passing such examinations as are pre-
scribed by law it would allow many
pt lb‘Ollt-t who had been dentlsis‘ appren-
tices to prattlce without tomplylng
with its other provisions. The discus-
sion of this bill It'd to a slight tilt be
tween Representative Dormltzer of
W oodlulry, and Representative Bishop
of New Haven. Several days ago Mr
Ulsllop had asked Mr. Ilorlnltzer whetc
be secured a certain bill relating to
the publii utilities matter Mr. Dor
lnitzer took this occasion to get back.
He said that Tuesday Mr. Bishop had
moved to Indefinitely postpone lllt
public utilities bill. and that the lobby
knew of that plan» early in the luorn
lug. Mr. Bishop laughingly replied If
Mr. Dormitser‘s question "Where (“1'
you get If?" that be go! It at a con
fereucp of the ITII'IIdHJlf the t‘IlnntlIel
bill, held at the recess yesterday. Ii
which conference the gentleman iron
Woodbury had not been invited.
The house yesterday morning pass-
ed the act concerning the Issuance of
bonds by towns. This provides that
any town may without the warrant of
the general assembly Issue bonds to
the extent of five per cent. of Its
gamd list and provides for a sinking
fund by the town.
Representative Johnson, of New-
town called up the matter on uniform
telephone rates, a defunct bill which
the house is trying to recall from the
office of the secretary of state. The
matter was on the table on a motion
to reconsider the action of adherence
to previous action. Speaker Banks
said that ill the absence of a rule. he
would rule that a motion to reconsider
ictlou Ill voting to adhere was in or-
der. Therefore a bill Is disposed of
finally only when botll bodies have
voted to adhere to former action. The
house then reconsidered its action If.
voting to adhere, In demanding recall
and then voted to Insist upon a re
vall. Representatives Johnson and
Dunn were named as a committee on
conference. The act concerning the
commitment of boys between the ages
)f seven and seventeen to chartered
institutions throughout the state was
adopted after considerable debate. A
motion to indefinitely postpone was
carried by a vote of 67 to 61 and Rep
resentatlve Parker, of Hartford, moved
reconsideration. expressing the hope
bet it would not prevail. Represen-
tative Lyons. of Thotuaston. and oth-
ers spoke In favor of the bill and It
was then reconsidered by a vote of
13 lo 85. after whlc 'was carried by
1 vote of 73 to 8. Other matters
adopted from the calendar were the
tollowlng: Authorizing the Fifth
school district of Groton to issue
JUDGE: concerning appeals in granting
liquor licenses; regarding municipal
securities as investments for savings
banks; incorporating the Yalesville
Water Company; concerning the as
sessment and collection of a personal
tax; mourning the restriction. maau
factoring and treatment of oil and
garbage of Waterford, East Lyme, Old
Lyme and Stoaington. A companion
bill bearing on the same matter fol
mgulating the transportation of gar-
bage was tabled upon motion of Rep-
resentative Whlton, of New London.

above it with the ease of dancers
