The New England Tobacco Growers’ Association proposes to make a fight to. have the existing duty on tobacco re- tained. The result of the duty imposed by the McKinley law upOn the foreign product is a notable vindication of the policy of that beneficent measure in the minds of all Connecticut growers of the weed. The value of the tobacco crop in the New England States in- creased from $1,400,000 in 1889 to as,- 000,000 in 189.2. The revenue from im~ ported tobacco last year was $7,000,000 more than the average annual revenue for the preceding five years, thus ma- terially increasing the income of the federal Treasury, besides giving ample protection to an industry engaging the labor of Several thousand farmers. Fanny Kemble’s Death; To most of the present generation the name of Fanny Kemble is little more than a tradition. She had sur- vived not only her contemporaries upon the stage, but the stage condi- tions under which the name of Ksmble became famous. She had survived also those political and social condi- tions in America, says the Philadelphia Times. with which her own name was associated and to which she‘ had, in early life, found it so hard to reconcile herself. Very much might be recalled in this brilliant woman‘s history, but it seems more appropriate now to recall only the dignity and purity of her woman- hood, the richness of her intellectual resources, and the force and earnest- ness of her character. - It is difficult, at this distance of time, to form a clear estimate of Fanny Kemble’s gifts as an actress, though her knowledge of the dramaand her skill in its interpretation are known to' those who remember her readings. But as a woman, an actressin the great drama of human life, it- was her part to make a strong impression in the intel- lectual history of this country and to leave a-mame that among educated Americans as among educated English- men, will be long held in honor. + Clty Charters. The New Haven Register throws out some timely suggestions to Norwalk people when it congratulates Willi- mantic. It says,. "We congratulate Willimantic on its prospect, for it has plainly outgrown Borough machinery ; and we congratulate it doubly upon the fact, instead of adopting the anti- quated style of charter prevailing in Connecticut cities, it has delayed ac- tion with the view of incorporating some of the modern features which the most enterprising and progressive of American cities are today adopting. New Ha'ven’s experience with the old- fashioned charter is well worth heed- ing by Willimantic. The system of complex and involved city commis- sioners is inefficient and expensive. The power of appointment of the heads of departments ought to be vested in the mayor; if not solely, at least with only the power of confirmation or re-’ jection in the common council. The provision for minority representation in the election of councilmen is not only a practical blockade to efficient action, but permits a shifting of re- sponsibility which is pernicious and corrupting in its influence. It is apos- itive infringement upon the freedom of popular government, a subversion of the will of the people, 'a defiance of the constitutional prerogatives, of the majority. To all elective positions which have to do with shaping of gov- ernment politics. there ought always to be absolute freedom of choice by the electors. Only thus can the will of the people be carried out. Any un- just tyranny of the majority in the ex- ercise of the elective franchisefinds its' own remedy, and relief in the elector- ate itself. ' Death of Ex-Presldent Hayes. Ex-President Rutherford B. Hayes died last evening at his home in Fre- mont, Ohio, of neuralgia of the heart. When the war broke out. Mr. Hayes was a rising young lawyer of Cincinatti. He 5 at once set to work to organize the 23d Ohio, and was mustered in as its Lieut. Colonel, Gen. Wm. S. Rosecrans being the Colonel. To this noted regiment also belonged Gov. McKinley and the late supreme court judge Stanley Matthews, Hayes soon became colo- nel on the promotion of Rosecrans to a generalship, He was brave, resolute, N 0TH lN Gilli?

Major General. _ After the war he resumed his law practice in Cincinnatti, and was elected to Congress for two or three terms. He then served as Governor for two terms, at the close of which he retired to private life. But. his party having been defeated he led it to victory and was elected Governor the third time. This made him president in 1876. The result was involved in doubt for a time, but so soon as he became con- vinced that he was really elected he prosecuted his rights "with a cool firm- ness that won him respect everywhere.

Thc democrats supposing urged the passage of the Electoral Commission Bill, but Davis wasclected a senator and retired from the Supreme court bench and Judge Bradley’s vote gave the election to Hayes, and defeat- ed Tilden, to the chagrin of the democ- racy. Few well informed and candid men: over doubted however but that Hayes and Wheeler had honestly re- ceived a majority of the electoral votes. Mr. Hayes engendered a feeling of bitterness on his own part by mum of his futile attempts to conciliate the south. Since his retirement from the Presi- dency he has lived a dignified private life. He was active in his sympathies and aid to the old soldiers and a prom-_ Liucnt member of «he G. A. R. Ifnot a very great man, he lived and died a pure and unostentatious christian gentleman.

'He said: “I am deepzy grieved to be forced to ar~ reign men whose past lives have been ap- parently spotless and .lull of glorious deeds.

The counsel then proceeded to trace the origin of the enterprise, the illegal con- tract with the contractors, the purchase of the Colon Railway, the bulletin issued for the purpose of keeping the confluence of the public, and the continuous decep- tion on the part of the directors, who, had they been disinterested, affairs would. have been very different. He said that it we..- with great regret he would proceed to prove that Count Ferdinand dc Lesseps had received 6,000,000 francs as his share of the transaction. The Advocate- General alluded to the fact that in 1886, when a Parliamentary Commission was entrusted With the task of examining the Panama project, it asked the company to furnish a_s£a.ement of accounts, whereupon M. de Lesseps re- plied in a deciamatory letter that he had Withdrawn from the project. In summing up the first part of his ad- dress the Advccate-General gave the fol- lowing financial details: “After the crash the court found 1,433,060 francs in cash and rea.iza his assets VQlULd at 163,- 000,030 .rancs, and the total expenditures 13J,000,0.')0, of which 43 000,000 fr.:ncs had been paid for work done. This result was most astounding.” » At the reopening of the court the Ad~ vacate-General dwelt upon the wasteful manner in which 6,000,o0‘) francs had been spent 101' no benefit to the enterprise. He laid grsa. stress upon the part play cd by Eiffel, who, by spending fine million and a nalf of the luture profit, in order to get rid of competitors and secure the support of .Hebrano, realized a net gain of 33,000,- 000 in his estimate of 76,000,000 francs for Work done.
