A Hint to Shivering Aspirants.
There are now half a dozen prominent
candidates for the Republican nomina-
tion for President who are shivering
over the silver question. A few months
ago silence Seemed to be golden, but
even then some of the aspirantsin their
impetuous desire to further their
claims, gave explanation upon explana-
ion by which they simply multiplied the
straddling fest. But the time has now
come when silence is cowardice and
any attempt at: straddling simply pro-
vokes contempt.
Let the shivering aspirants for the
Presidency look out for one Colonel
Bradley, of Kentucky. That is the one
state of, the Union that has never had a
Republican state officer during the
forty years of the existence of the Re-
publican party. But Colonel Bradley
is now the Republican candidate for
governor one most heroic sound money
platform and he is' quite likely to be
elected. If he shall be successful in
August, as now seems quite probable,
there will be “a new coon in town” in
the Republican presidential circle, and
one who will be far in the lead of
all the present hesitating Republican
aspirants, not one of whom has declared
with emphasis in favor of honest money.
In addition to the attitude of Colonel
Bradley, the Republican candidate. for
Governor in Kentucky, Henry Clay
Evans, who was lately elected Republi-
can Governor of Tennessee, but mon—
keyed out of his place by Democratic
jugglery, has come out emphatically in
favor of honest moncygand against free
silver coinage or any attempt to main.
tain silver currency on the ratio of six-
teen to one.
Although Mr. Evans was supported
by the Populists at the late election, he
has the courage and manliness to lead
the Republicans of that state in favor
of a sound financial system, and all this
will be grist to the mill of Colonel
.Bradley if he shall be chosen Republi-
can Governor of Kentucky. Every-
thing now points to a solid Republican
party in the South in favor of honest
money, although hitherto the Republi-
cans have uniformly fused with the
Populists and seemed to have been ab-
sorbed by them, as were the Democrats
in the Republican states of the West.
Asathc first Republican Governor of
the South elected in a fair Open con-
teit by the people, Colonel Bradley
will forge to the front as a possible Re-
publican candidate for President, and
his chief strength will be that he has
won the most Bourbon of all the Bour»
bon States of the South to the Repub-
lican cause, by the courageous battle
for public and private credit and the

Black Bass Flshlng.
The Senate yesterday passed the bill
~w‘nich provides that any person who
shall kill, sell, exchange, or have in his
possession any small mouth black bass,
or any large mouth black bass (com-
monly known as the Osweno 01' green
bass) between the first day of May and
end the first day of July, shall be fined
not exceeding ten dollars for each base.
Persons owning their own waters or
‘leasing them are exempt from the pro-
visions of the act.
Ought Not: be Granted.
Axremonstrance against the granting
of a liquor license to Adolph Bosenham,
for the sale of intoxicants at104 Har—
bor avenue is being signed by almost
everybody living in the neighborhood.
It is understood that a party who is in-
terested in go ting the license, says that
he has a cousin on the board of county
commissioners and it is bound to come.
If the license is granted which we very
much doubt, it will be under the strong-1'
est kind of a protest.
Cyclone Strikes Norwich.
A cyclone, accompanied by lightning
and hail, struck Norwich yesterday
afternoon“ 4 o’clock. The barn of C.
H. Hulbert was demolished and two
men and four horses had a narrow es-
cape. The houses of Simon Lilli-
bridgc, George Stead, William Bush-
nell and Oliver Bently were damaged
by lightning. A. A. Maynard, Mrs.
C. L. Swan and A. L. Hale were struck
by lightning and stunned but escaped
serious injury. The roof of the grand
stand at the New London county fair
grounds was blown down and 600 feet
of fencing laid low and the railing torn
off the judge’s Tstand. Hail stones as
large as walnuts were driftcd'about the
park six inches deep and eighth tenths
of an inch of rain fell in fifteen min-
utes.
Q
as surely as Colonel Bradley shall be
«elected Governor‘he will be one of the
strongest Republican candidates for
President in any State of the Union.
Colonel Bradley is not an adventurer
in politics ; on the contrary he is a.
broad—hearted, bigxbrained, thoroughly
reputable leader of Kentucky and has
none of the flavor of the old carpet—bag
scandals about him. He comes to lead
:1. battle in Kentucky in flVOl‘ of new
ideas, new projects, and. above all, in

F. J/Brainard, Esq., Manager State of '
Connecticut for D. Appleton 8:
Company. .
My dear Sin—I have carefully exam-
ined Johnson’s Universal Cyclopaedia,
and it gives me pleasure to recommend
it without stint. It brings to the reader,
in ready-reference form, the latest and
most reliable information on a great
number of subjects. The editors and
contributors are among the leading,
writers of the country, and their names
furnish a sufficient guarantee that the
work is all that you claim for it. The
value of any work of this 'kind‘depends
upon the qualificationsof the authors
'who write for it." The trOuble with other
encyclopcedias is that their; articles are
not authoritative. This‘Would not ap-
ply to the authorized edition of the Bri-
tannica a few years ago, but it does,.to a
great degree, to—day. ” The first eight
volumes-of the Britannica went to press
sometime about 1875, and the last
volume was issued in 1888. Hence, it
must be acknowledged that very much
: of the information contained in the
Britannica is not reliable because it is
not up to date. But people are asked,
through the columns of the Evening
Sentinel, and by agents to buy a cer-
tain alleged reprint of this work, with
a isnpplement to each volume, which is
claimed'to bring the matter up to date.
Anyone who will take the 'pains to eX°
amine this claim will find it unfounded
in fact. I have examined this reprint
carefully in comparison with the au-
thorized edition of the Britannica sold
in this country by Charles Scribner"s
Sons, and find all the principal Ameri-
can articles omitted; and inferior
articles, , written by unknown writ-
ers, substituted. Suppose a man
should offer one of the works of
Carlislo with his Life of, Cromwell
written by some unknown man, and
claim that it was a. reprint of that great
master’s work, would he buy it? Of
course he would not, but would rather
feel insulted. Why then should any in-
telligent person think for a ’moment of
purchasing this alleged reprint, with all
the valuable American articles written
by the ablest authors in this country,
of trained writers.” I would change

Chamber’s Encyclopaedia of 1860.
Therefore, one might logically infer
from this thatmuch of their “up to
date” matter is older than the Britan-
nica itself. Surely, it is a sorry work
to make the best of it.
The information jumbled in at the
end of each volume is considerable in
quantity, but almost worthless in quali-
ty. Every person to whom that set is
offered should consider the advice of
one of our famous humorists, who said,
“It is better not to know somuch than
to know so much that isn’t so.” This
set certainly contains a great deal that
isn’t so. Think of gathering up obsc-

hard name. Take. for chmple,
many of their biographical articles
and it will surely appear to any"

from old books. We all know Dr.
Lyman Abbott of Plymouth Church.
His“up to date” biography stops at
1881, leaving out the most interesting
part of his career and work. The his-
tory of Massachusetts in the authorized
edition is written by Justin Winsor,
whom everyone knows to be one of our
ablest historians, but this article is
copyrighted and they substitute a shie-
tory of the Bay State written by an un-
known man. One quotation from his
article will show how little he knows
about history: “Garrison and Phillip
