The dilllculty in determining wheth-

early days of constitutional govern-

were held in counties prior to 1890,
and rcl'ords ol' onsets were kept at

THE TEACHERS' CONVENTION.
It was the 87th annual meeting of
the Connecticut state teachers.
is far from saying that the teachers
were aged 67 up. In fact a healthier.
happier and handsomer set of fair
ladies it. has seldo‘in been our good
fortune to feast our eyes upon.

derstand” how these good women
could, look so happy in the face of
the prognurn outlined for their in-
structlou nnd edlflcallon. These
beachers' meetings may give a hell-
day to the pupils. but not no to the
teachers. Shop is evidently talked
from morning bell to curfew. If there
is anything included in the uddrcs sos,

over and viewed from all its several
uncles. What to teach, how to touch
it how not to touch ilwno stone in
short, is left unturned in all the pos-
slblc touching whys and wherefores
of a teachers‘ meeting.
And yet the teachers look happy,
are obviously intelligent land clearly
enthusiastic over their work. 'Tis a
great and good profession, forsoolh.

THE WILSON TARIFF BILL.
Editor South Norwalk Sentinel:

our fellow citizen, was heard by a
large and enthusiastic audience, at
Bridgeport, the other evening in de-
fense of the Wilson Free Trade Tariff

ills reasoning seems to be that. if four
schoolboys divide an apple among
themselves, giving lo each an equal
portion, each would have more than if
there were two boys instend of four to
divide it among. The Wilson law is a
pure free trade low, the first of its
exact kind since the Walker 'l‘arin' ot
1846, which, although, under the then
circumstances, was less dangerous
than the Wilson law of 1913, filled the
land with beggars and the jails with
burns.
