On Tuesday, fair weather will prevail, and nearly stationary, followed by lower temperature, and on Wednesday probably fair weather, with slight temperature changes. Only 8 Days More! —And Honest Money, Protection,Peace and Prosperity, will again come to our sufl‘ering country, in the People’s tri- umphant -. election of McKinley and Hobart. Altgeld Not a Bryan. The New York Sun calls attention to the significant fact that Governor Alt- geld’s speech in Cooper Union shows him to be a very able man, and, being what he is, and representing what he does, a very dangerous political leader. The man who dominated for a time the crazy convention which nominated Bryan in the end, is as different from Bryan as a wolf is fromamarmoset. There is nothing of the comedian about the Illinois anarchist. If he has vani- ty, he has enough force of character to conceal it. If he lacks sincerity, he has Wit enough to simulate earnestness. If the real motive of his political activi- ty is selfish, he is adroit enough to con- ceal his motive. In the clearly-cut, direct sentences of his rhetoric, there is notrace of self-consciousness; and the whole effect of his speech, conveying the most abominable doctrines, in straightforward phrases, is sombre, defiant and menacing. ’Ehis is the real leader of the revolu~ 'ti‘on, ane it would be foolish to under- estimate the qualities, which make him dangerous. ._.__.-.__.__ Farmers and Free Silver. Even most polished and plausible theories must give way to stubborn, 1 inexorable facts, and there is not an argument made by Mr. Bryan in be- half of Lee silver to advance the price of agricultural products that is not absolutely discredited by facts which are now visible to every average voter inthe land. ' When Mr. Bryan left Lincoln a month or more ago to make his great tour of the South and East, wheat was (53 cents a bushel in the Eastern mar- ket, and the silver dollar was intrinsi- cally worth 53 cents. He has argued from every stump that the price of sheet has been governed by the de- monetiz ition of silver and that, as sil- ver declined, the products of the farm have declined in value, and thereby the farmers have been impoverished for want of freesilver coinage. Eesterday wheat sold in the Eastern market at 80 cents per bushel and sil- Jer sold at the lowest point it has reached since the great depression of the last four years. Its market price was (3-15 cents per ounce, making the silver dollar worth 49.88 cents, or less than half its stamped value. .0. Wheat Demand. A new thing in our foreign trade is the exportation of wheat from Califor- niato India. The crops there are so poor this year, that instead of helping to feed Europe. India must buy food abroad, and the best supply can be had tram “the glorious climate of Calfor- his.” Stgamers have been chartered socarry some ten or eleven thousand tons of wheat from San Francisco to Calcutta and Bombay, and it is thought [that the demand will continue. This movement of wheat on the Pa— cific is independent of the trans-Atlantic movement, but associated with it. That is to say, the demand for wheat at At- lantic ports is to satisfy a demand at L’hiverpool that is usually supplied in part from India. This year instead of supplying the European markets, India is: buyer of wheat and will take part at the surplus product of our Pacific \mast, raising the prices there, while Europe will have to buy more than moat from Americ-, and has thus al ready raised the price on the east of m Rocky Mountains. ' The price of grain, as of most other figs, depends upon the relation of mply and demand, not merely at Me but throughout the world. When i130 world's supply is abundant, prices tell; when it 's ‘canty,’ rrices rise. Vermont and Her Senator. The re-election‘of Mr. Justin S. Mor" rill to the United“ States Senate from Vermont deserves a word of notice on other than personal grounds. It sig- nalizes what we should like; to think a growing recognition of the value of continuity in public service. The doc- trine of rotation in ofiice is popular among politicians because it gives a greater number of politicians a chance of election. But are private interests to be preferred to public ? One secret of the long ascendency of the South at Washington before the civil war was her habit of electing and ire-electing capable legislators. They often belonged, no doubt, to. the gov- erning class, and had the advantagp which springs from the habit of gov- erning. But they also acquired expe- rience, and without experience natural capabilities has not a fair chance to do its best. The South has had its hands on all the wheels of the complicated engenry of legislation and of adminis- tration and long ran the machine pretty much as it liked. Senator Morrill 'is eighty-six years old. It is icrty-two years since he firsttook his seat in Congress as Rep- resentative from Vermont. He has been Senator since .1867 This is his sixth election. His ability and integ- rity are known and he is still vigorous in mind. Is it possible to doubt that such a man, with all his accumulated knowledge, is of more service to his State and country than a beginner could be? The moral which Vermont— an admirable little stale—teaches is, when you get a good man, keep him. Connecticut proposes to follow the grand example set by Vermont by rivaling the Green Mountain State’s Republican majority, and also by re- electing her able, well-equipped and experienced Senator, 0.

Potwin,who, while temporarily in- sane, suicided in Hartford, was former- ly assistant principal in our Center school. We are informed that it was the deceased’s brother Lemual, who , was an educator here in Norwalk find that he married a Miss Cram, who also was a teacher in the same school. The Norwalk Mr. Potwin possessed a very fine baritone voice and was a member of the First Congregational church choir, while here. A“. The little daughter of Mr. Fred \Vebber Holland, Mass, had a very bad cold and cough which he had not been able to cure with anything. I gave him a 25 cent bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, says W. P. Holden, merchant and postmaster at_VVest Brimfield, and the next time I saw him he said it worked like a. charm. This remedy is intended especially for acute throat and lung diseases such as. colds, croup and whooping cough, and 1t is famous for its cures.
