March entered yesterday in all parts of the United States in a genial mood, which, according to the old proverb, means that it will not long remain tranquil. After a radiant day in all sections from the Pacific to the Atlan- tic coast there were indications last night of a storm brewing in the Far Southwest. It is not likely to seriously disturb the weather east of the Mississ- ippi before to—morrow afternoon, and possibly it may not become a very energetic disturbance. But it now threatens to afi'ect the weather on the Middle Atlantic seaboard before the close of the week. Pope Leo’s Jubilee. That His Holiness Pope Leo XIII. should feel grieved because of the non- appearance of American pilgrims in Rome to join in the universal homage paid to him on the celebration of his episcopal jubilee is certainly only very natural. The Vatican is evidently con- vinced that this lack of American at- tendance is due to the serious (fifi‘er- ences that have disturbed the life of the Church on this side of the'Atlan- There can be no doubt, says the Recorder, of the allegiance of many millions of Americans to the Holy See, and, from any standpoint we choose to take, it is to be regretted that America has not joined in these great pilgrima- ges which have been instituted to show the esteem and reverence in which Pope Leo is held. The days have fortunately long since passed when even Protestant rulers and peoples could think with jealousy of the splendid position which the Pope holds in the world of religion. Pope Leo especially has won with every year of his pontificate the admiration of men for the words of gentle remon- strance and statesmanlike wisdom which he has so frequently uttered on momentous occasions, and which the great world has been willing to listen to as coming from one in s'upreme au- thority over millions among us. Pro- testants and Catholics alike will, we be- lieve, join sincerely in the wish that His Holiness may be preserved long in life and that he may live to see during his jubilee that his beneficent rule has won the admiration of millions who do not own religious allegianceZto him.

The liquor dealers of Bridgeport have hit upon a plan to combat thelaw and order league in the warfare it has instituted against them, which will touch the individual members of the league in a tender spot. namely, their pockets, and which they believe will make effectual their desire to be let alone. At arecent meeting of the Liquor Dealer’s Protective association, it was decided to boycott all members of the league. This will applyto all business and professmnal men who have been prominent in the crusade, and it is ex- pected that the movement will be a big success. USE DANA’S SARSAPARILLA.IT’S “' ‘HE KIND THAT CURES.” . The National Emblem. Edna Dean Proctor, with characteris- tic ability, discusses in a recent paper, the question, what plant shall be our national emblem? She is in favor of “the bounteous golden corn.” The various states and sections, she says. may choose what flowers they will, and she "drops into poetry as follows: The arbutus and the golden rod The heart of the North may cheer. And the mountains laurel for Maryland Its royal clusters rear; And jasmine and magnolia The crest of the South adorn, But the wide Republic’s emblem Is the bounteous, golden corn ! That’s all well enough, so far as it goes. Corns are. more prevalent than popular in America, but come are in- digenous to any civilized land, on either side of the water, where tight shoes are worn. So the corn cannot be appropriated as an exclusively Amer- ican fruit. If Edna wants to adopt a. trademark for the national letter-head, she will find that the corn “isn’t in it” when she comes to consider the copious and appalingstatistics of our friends the Prohibitionists, Sister Parsons, an others,which go to show that the nation- al emblem alread established by a large majority is O d'Rye.—John Rode- meyer in Winsted Herald. .0. An lcy Foot Bath. A woman living not a hundred miles from Norwalk had an experience one night last week which makes her shiver all over every time she-has since re- called it to mind. During the after- noon she complained to a lady friend of a troublesome corn or two and of feeling weary from her‘ knees dow n} The friend said that she had suffer- ed in a like manner, and had gained relief by placing her feet in lake-warm water. ‘ The woman on getting home decided to act on her friend’s advice. After eating her supper she secured a pail of water, and ’an easy chair, sat down in the chair, and taking off her stockings placed her feet in.the water. The feeling of. test which she exper- ienced was delightful and before she realized it she had dropped off.- into a sound sleep from which she did not awake until an early hour in the morn- ing. And it was anything but a pleas- ant awakening. She attempted to move her feet but could not do so. With a startled look she glanced down atthe pail and found that they were frozen solidly in the water considerably above her ankles. She dared not call for help for fear of being laughed at. She finally succeeded in breaking the ice in the pail, and extricating her feet from their icy enVironment. Wisely, she! gave them a vigorousrubblng with a harsh towel, and happily escaped any serious results. The weary feeling had departed though and she now speaks of the treatment as a “frozen ‘success”'although she says it shiver- mgly. ‘ and revenue questions. ' vomuk, Corgis, Thursday Evening. March 2. 1893- Current Washlngton Notes. The capitol city is all agog over the coming Inaugural ceremonies to take place ,on Saturday. The usual platform is erected on the east centre portico of the Capitol, from which Mr. Cleveland is to deliver his Inaugural Address. President-elect Cleveland and party are expected to arrive in Washington Thursday evening. Among other guests in his private car are to be Mr. and Mrs. E. C, Benedict of Greenwich. They go direct to therArlington and remain there until after the Inaugura- tion when the Presidential party take4 possession of the White House. Vice-President-elect “Adlai,” family and friends, arrived Tuesday evening and are quartered at the Ebbit House. He is a well known quantity about Washington, havmg been a member of the House and First Assistant Post- master General during the former Clevelandadministration. 'He is a cor- dial, genial gentleman socially, but politically, he believes that only demo- crats should be put on guard and in- herit the’ promises. Opinions differ as to the necessity of an extra session. The concensus seems to be that one will have to be called as early as September or October, if not earlier. The usual extra, or executive session of the Senate, will be immedi- ately convened. Democratic Senators and Congress- men are sharply divided on financial . It is generally believed about the capital that the party Will remain divided on silver and hotly so on tariff, but that in the end, the free trade element of the party will succeed in. entirely destroying the Me- Kinley tariff and stamp out the repub- lican’s cardinal principle of protection. President Harrison has sent in his first veto of the session. It was a bill- affecting United States Marshals and District Attorneys in Alabama, and only of interest as being hisonly veto this session. There is much merriment and some soreness among democratic Congress- men, at the peculiar construction of Mr. Cleveland’s cabinet. Senator Mc- Pherson of New Jersey, is credited with the remark that “the democrats have .the next Senate and House and a ma- jority in the Cabinet.” A democratic member of the House waggishly said, “We have the Senate, the House and all but two members of the Executive department,” meaning of course, the President and Secretary of State Gresham. ' It 'is one of the pathetic sides to high ofiicial position, that probably no occu- pant of the White House ever departed therefrom with fewer sincere, warm, sb‘cial or personal friends than Presi- dent Harrison. In this he is not to be blamed, for as a Republican Senator expressed it—“ President Harrison in his refrigerating qualities, is just as God made him.” There is no end of “ kicking ” among Congressmen of all parties, who have constituents plying them for their aid in hurrying up their long delayed pen~ Sions, because of the fact that all busi- ness is to be suspended in the Pension office for tendays or two weeks, in or- der that this great building may be gelpared for the impending Inaugural a . The House Committee investigating the Whisky Trust, recommend in its report that the duty on imported liquors be reduced from $2.50 to $1 per gallon and that the tariff on all goods be reduced whenever it is found that they are influenced by a trust or com- bination. A funny case came up before the ' Washington Police Court Tuesday af- ternoon. A poor colored man was ac- cused of stealing a neighbor’s goat of the male persuasion. Uncle’s defense was this—“ Now, Massa J edge, I w'uz full and I b’li’ve de goat stole me. He, got his rope ’round my legs and ran in- to my yard w1d me, ’deed he did J edge.” The J 11de said he seemed to have been so tangled up with the goat, it was im- possible to determine whether it was he or «the goat that was stolen and so ordered Uncle’s discharge.

At Hartford. The bill for increase of the Consoli- dated road capital stock to 3100, 000,000 came up in the House yesterday and provoked an animated debate. Chairman Rockwell, of the Railroad committee, said the committee had been unanimous in favor of the meas- ure and saw no reason to change their minds, despite adverse com t by- the newspapers and mom ‘of the “third house.” It had be said the measure was being railroaded through out of favor to the Consolidated, but why should not our honestly conduc- ted Connecticut corporation be given deserved consideration when it- was fighting against outside speculators. . _e then made an argument for the bill which embodied most of the state- ments submitted b President Clark to the committee. e asked the cour- tesy of being allowed the closing re- marks on the subject. Hotchkiss of New Haven, withdrew his last week’s amendment that when the stock issue reached $95,000,000 two- cents—per’mile fare should be estab- lished throughout the company’s sys- tem, and substituted one making the amount $75,000,000. He said he did not dispute the statement of the com- pany. That their stock was not watered, but taking par value and market into consideration they were doing so well they could afford to make stockholders a present of $45,000,000. Why not make the entire public beneficiaries? On branch lines at present the“ fare was from 221 to 5 cents per mile. Lee, of Westport, thought the pro- posed reduction a good thing for the company as well as the public. When the original 2 cent reduction on the main line was made the next year’s earnings increased by $105,000. Gunn, of Milford, asked why the Consolidated was singled out for ar- bitrary reductions in passenger rates. It was an unjust discrimination unless other Connecticut railroads received the same treatment. It was like one man taking another man by the throat and saying: “You have more money thanI; buy me a dinner.” No_ rail- road in the United States gives its pa. trons as good service for the same com- pensation as the Consolidated. Wells, of Fairfield, spoke for the Hotckiss amendment, saying President Clark of, the Consolidated had not shown accommodating spirit to South- porters, once telling them that a street they desired to keep open, he would close so tight a potato bug con (1 not get through. Brinsmade, of Washing- ton, also spoke for the amendment while-IvCowles, Southington, McKnight ' of East Hartford, Sacks, of Waterbury, Lounsbury, of Darien, and Henley, of Windsor Locks, favored the original resolution. Walsh of Bridgeport, moved for a you and nay vote on the amendment, but the motion was lost, receiving only two votes. On a viva voce vote Speaker Brooks declared the amendment defeated. Lees called for a division of the House, and when taken it resulted in defeat of the amendment by 135 to 48. A further amendment by Brinsmade that all the new stock except that need- ed for the Old Colony lease should be sold at auction was lost. The original resolution authorizing the stock issue was then carried with only one dissent- ing vote. The Senate approved the measure last week. ‘ ' . The Senate postponed consideration of Gen. Graham’s petition for rein- statement as brigadier-generalof' the National guard to Wednesday next, owing to the absence of Senator Cran- dall, who prepared the minority report against Gen. Graham. The Senate passed bills and resolutions authoriz- ing the city ‘of Bridgeport to issue bonds ; incorporating the Y. ”\I. C. A. of Torrington ; the Odd Fellows’ Hall association of Waterbury, and the Handicraft school of Hartford ; limit- ing the term of commission of the brigadier-general of the National guard to~ two years; appointing David M. Rowland (Dem.) of Bridgeport, Sena- tor Houlihan of Newtown and W. S. Mead ( Rep.) of Greenwich, County Commissioners of Fairfield county. The Senate also passed the bill appro- priating $9,000 annually to the State Firem en’s association.
