» Mr. Watkins’ Departure.
The fact that the last ministration of
the popular and bEIOV(d Rector of
Grace church is to be on Easter Sunday,
will be universally felt to be, by the
people of Norwalk of all denominations
as a serious, personal and public loss.
Behas engaged his passage for Europe
and expects to be absent in rest and
travel for the next two years.
~ . Mr. Watkins was much more than a
Rector; he was one of our most enter-
prising and public spirited citizens as
well, and ever on the alert for every
good word and work, whether of church
or state.. The regret felt at his depart-
ure is wide-spread and of the sincerest
character throughout. all of the Nor'
walks. The poor and destitute, the
sick and distressed, in him have ever
hadaready and succoring friend and
sadly indeed will all such, miss and
mourn their and our town’s great loss.
May the Master he has so faithfully
served reward him abundantly for his
Christlike labors of love and duty here.
Mr. and Mrs. Watkins will sail on
> May 12th, in the Cunarder Germanic,
andleave the steamer at.Queenstown
for a trip through Ireland, Scotland and
England, prior to going ever to the
continent.

A Great Scheme.
A” great scheme is that of the Agri-
culturists’ National Protective Associa-
tion. It is nothing less than a univer-
sal “combine” of farmers to limit pro-
duction and control prices by pooling
athhe products of the farm and selling
them only at prices fixed by a supreme
commandery. This is about as distinct-
ly “in restraint of trade” as any trust
yet devised, butwe do not believe it
will ever be necessary to invoke the
anti-trust law or the authority of the
Supreme Court against it. It presup-
poses an abundance of capital that the
kind of farmers that get up schemes of
this kind will find it difficult to com-
mand. Even if they got their ware-
house receipts made legal tender, some-
body would be sure to want some real
' money and would go otTto sell his crop,
and then what would become of the
combine?
O
A Woman for President.
It is an Illinois divine, the Rev. El-
bert 0. Taylor, of Oak Park, who pre-
dicta from the pulpit that unless there
.is a mighty improvement in the caliber
of men chogen for high places the
Government of the United States will,
in twenty-five years,'be in the hands
of Women and there will be a woman
President’at the capital. '
The" election of Altgeld in Illinois
naturally-has had a demoralizing and
discouraging efi';ct on thousands of
persons in that State; but this is alarze
country, and a very considerable por—
tion of it does not sympathize deeply
with the local troubles which affect
Illinois and is, therefore, unable to
‘ look at things from her point of view.
At the same time, infinitely worse
things could happen to this. Republic
than the election of a good woman as
President. For example, a Populist
might slip in, th0ugh that is a possibili-.
ty exceedingly remote. ‘

, The Kinetoscope and Prize-Fighting.
There is danger of carrying too far
the movement against prize fighting.
The best people of the country all agree
that the battle of the bruisers in Neva-
da was a degrading spectacle in the
flesh, but they are not prepared to say
that the reproduction of that fight by
means of the kinetoscope or other kin-
dred machines is revolting and should
be prohibited by legislation. In fact the
crusade against everything that pertains
to prize fighting, as well as against
fighting itself, is causing a revulsion of
feeling that may result in the reinstate-
ment in law of knock-out contests and
defeat the end which all right-minded
people want to see consummated, the
suppression of the professronal bruiser.
A distinction must always be made
I between the actuality and its represen--
tation or mechanical reproduction.
The former may be a degrading spe‘c-
tacle, the latter may be a work of art.
nthekinetoscope needs active, subject
by a prize fight, there is no need of
placing the ban over the reproduction
by the machine simply ,because the
actual scene in the flesh was degrading.
, The electric instruments will simply tell
pictorially the story of the fight, and if
this be prohibited the newspaper reports
and all literature that at all pertains to
the prize ring should have been confis-
cated long ago. ' '
Some of the best canvasses in our
galleries show the scenes of gladiatorial
combats and bull fights that would not
now be tolerated. But there is no
thought of denying the people the priv-
ilege of looking upon these pictures.
There are, also, wax figure representa—
tions of great tragedies, such as Indian
massacres, where animal, passion and
blood are far more apparent than in
any kinetoscopic picture of a prize
fight. If we legislate against the latter
and'be consistent, we must tear from
our galleries all paintings, wipe out
from our literature all stories and break
'to pieces all statues‘ that in any way
treat of suljects that are regarded as
objectionable. Are we willing to do
this?
