“counrv COMMISSIONS
“The people of the state have curious
notions with regard to the election
loll county commissioners. More peo-
plenre lacking in knowledge in this
_ respect than are in possession of it.
7 We can account for the fact, however,
on the ‘ground that generations of
false practice have withheld from the
people a lively knowledge of how
county commissioners are made.
f7.'i‘he democratic members of the
Keneral assembly from Fairlieid
countil. presumably practical poll-
tlcians. find themselves in majority
control of the county caucus. On this
account they have falsely concluded
that the impending vacancy in the
county board is theirs for the ask-
ilhg. .They have picked out their
candidate, a former mayor of Bridge.-
7port..Deni_lia Mulvibill, and already in
imagination see him comfortably
coated in the chair of county commis-
risiousr. _
Ata recent meeting or the New
Haven Equality club, a formal pro-
test was registered against. the re-
appointment of the two county coni-
missioners from this county, whose.
terms aoon expire. by Governor [laid-l
win. it appears upon investigation
that the conduct of those county of-
ficials during their terms of office
has been unsatisfactory to the mem-
bers of the club and that they have
seized upon what appears to them
to be the only weapon at their con-,
troi to express their resentment.
Hence the resolutions calling upon.
Governor Baldwin to decline to te-
pinco the orring commissioners in
power. 1
Both the democratlr members of the
Fulrfield legislative «euros and the
%
members of the Equality club are mini
directing their erforts. The former
may gain control of the county' oi‘xunh
action so far as it relates to the Keller'
al business of the county, but they
will discover their weakness when it
comes to selecting a county commie
nioner of their political faith. The lut
tar will sooner or inter awaken to the
fact that Governor ilaldwin is as pow
erleas to dictate the nominations as
they are themselves. The incoming
county commissioners from h‘nirtleld
and New Haven counties will he nom-
inated by the republican tnombhrs oi‘
the general assembly from those coun-
ties, and a republican legislature will
confirm them. That will be the end
of those enterprises. and that would be
the and if the democrats in both coun~
ties outnumbered their republican col-
leagues eight to one. if the people
want a hand in the election of commis-
sioners. they will have to provide for
their election by the people.

REVENUE BII’AIIGII
WASHINGTON Jan. 27.-~Major 'l‘li-
son has reported from the house coni-
milieu op military affairs, the bill to
transfer the military reservation
known on Fort 'l‘rumlmll. near New
London from the wandcpartmcnt, for
the use of the revenue cutter servire.
This bill was introduced by Represom
tativo Mann at the request of the rev»
cnuo cutter service and the proposb
lion Is to use the reservation for the
revenue cutter school.
The committee at the suggestion of
the secretary of war, amended the bill
by adding a proviso that. the war do
parttnent be permitted the one of the
present dock and approaches. concnr~
rent with the treasury department, in
order that harbor boats stationed in
the i'cw London artillery district may
tic up there when necessary. The war
department favors the transfer, and
Major ’l‘ilson expects to have the bill
pill on that calendar for unanimous
consent so that It can come up a Writli
from next. Monday. No objection to
the passage of the bill is expected.
The United States government so
quirtd the land in 1804 by purchase,
and later on- an uditional from use;
acquired. At presenr the war depzm-
mcui has no use for the rcscrtion, us
it no longer forms a part of the an-
approved project for the defenses of
the eastern Hill of Long island sound.
The war department turned the prop-
erty over to the treasury department
in June last and the bill in question in
simply intended to make the transfer
permanent. it is expected the rovenuo
cutter servicr will improve the prep
orl) and ciwt several new buildings
in the future for the use of the new
school.
