Biennial Sessions Again. The New Haven Palladium, which does not agree with the GAZETTE as to the utility and desirability of annual sessions of the legislature, takes about half acolumn to tell why, and terms our attitude in that respect as “An Un- called-for Crusade.” The Palladium is satisfied with the present arrange- ments: the Consolidated railroad cer- tainly is, and why should the jurispru- dential editor of the Palladium find fault. While quoting our resume of the promises made by the reformers, the Palladium says nothing of the pending constitutional amendment in- creasing legislators’ salaries which, if adopted, will demolish the promised saving of one-half. The greater possi- bilities of the powers of corruption are not denied, and no proof is offered to show that a biennial legislature is any wiser or more honest thanaan annual onefl In our resume of the arguments in favor of biennial sessions we said : , “We were told that the “operating expenses” of the legislature woglfibe reduced one-half, that our laws would stand longer upon the statute book, and that there would be less, experi-~ mental legislatiOn; that the expenses of registering the vbters would be les- sened; and that we would be spared the turmoil and excitement of the an- nual election for representatives.” ‘ Except the slight lessening of the ex- penses incident to the registration of ' voters, and the excitement of an an- nual election for representatives, none of the above premises have been re- deemed. and we have been subjected to the humiliation of a generally be- lieved charge that at least one legisla- ture was venible. Our annual legislatures were honest and very few of them ever amended the statutes, and then amended the amendment before they adjourned, or passed a law in March which they re- pealed in June. If the reformers wish to make converts to the biennial session movement they should not put on ex- hibition the Connecticut legislature and legislation of 1889. .6. WHAT MISS SPINSTER SAYS?

Yale downed Princeton yesterday by a score of 19 to 0. Nearly 40,000 peo- ple were out in the rain to witness the exciting sport. It was a well-played, manly game, which did credit to both sides. _ ' At our Fair Grounds the Y. M. C. A. Club beat the Westpo rts 4 to 0. This is a vigorous. noble game when played as it always should be. in a proper and noble,way. But when brutes instead of gentlemen contest, it be- comes a. brutal strife.

It had been in collision with a pole-cat and apparent- ly got the worst of the contest. They have fumigated it, stood it out in the rain and yet the oder still smells to high heaven. They can’t let it, or use it, and hardly tolerate it in the stable, and it is a serious question whether damages are not justly recoverable from the town that lets skunks roost .in the public highway, or else from the driver of the vehicle who ran over the un- savory varmii t. It would certainly be a strong case for the courts. a - The Merry Waltz. There was a large attendance at the Iron Molders' ball, at Music Hall, Thanksgiving Eve, and the society as in the past made it pleasant for all who were in attendance. Whatever the Iron Molders undertake they never do by halvesand their seventh annual ball will be remembered as one of the best ever given by this celebrated organiza- tion. - The ball given by Court Mahackemo at the Armory, the same evening, was a flattering success. The spacious floor space was covered by merry lovers of the dance. all of whom reluctantly watched the final number on the pro- gramme. . . The ball given by the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen at Music Hall last night, was the most successful af- fair of the kind ever given in this city.

Mr. Eli Carroll, of Law- rence, Mass, and Miss Dougherty led the grand march. A special train of three cars brought nearly 200 people from Danbury and along the line of the road. The festivities were kept up .un- til 4 o’clock. A large number of promi nent railroad people were present. The Brotherhood netted a handsome sum The souvenirs were. the most attractive ever given out in this section. . ’ Captain Sandy Knapp, WASHINGTON LETTER. [From Our Regular Correspondent] WASHINGTON.

The Miantono- mah is about ready to sail and several other vessels are being gotten in readi— ness. The Miantonomah alone with her low decks and heavy guns would be a serious antagonist for the Chilian na- vy and would play a part, upon oppor- tunity, similar to that of the Merrimac or the Monitor in Hampton Roads- CHILI. The firm course of the United States Government aided by the gbod sense of President Montt and other influential Chilians, and backed up by considera- ble naval activity on our part, are hav- ing their due effect. Concessions have been made in the inquiry as to the kill- ing of the Baltimore’s sailors. The various lying stories originated by Eng- lishmen, and published by the London Times to maintain commercial monop- olies have been fully contradicted. It is now telegraphed from Santiago that President Montt thinks there is no doubt of a satisfactory settlement, and also that he proposes to reduce the Chilian army and navy. SMUGGLING. I have heretofore referred to Cana- dian selfishness in both the eastern and western fisheries. It seems that in the opium trade and in Chinese immigra- tion we have other causes of complaint. Canada imposes a duty of $1, and the United States of $12 a pound upon opi- um. It is estimated that "25,000 pounds have been imported at Victoria and subsequently smuggled into this coun- try, practically nullifying our laws for the profit of smugglers and Canada. ‘ Our Chinese exclusion laws are defeat- ed in similar manner. The Canadian government admits Chinamen, collect- ing $50 a head. " These immigrants ea- sily slip across our line, and if detected and returned to Canada they “ Try, try again,” until they succeed. Thus the smuggling of opium and Opium con- sumers thrives. A somewhat Similar state of things prevails at the Mexican line; We must either change our tariff and exclusion laws, police our borders more thoroughly, or take Canada and Mexico into the family.

SOCIETY PEOPLE will be interested to know that owing to the friendly relations of France and Russia everything fashionable now in Paris is a la Russe, and Paris sets the fashions for the world.

The play is one of the most laughable before the public, and is based on down. east Yankee life. A fine band and orchestra accompanies the company. On Friday. evening, Dec. 4,- at the Opera House, will appear the greatest of all Burlesque Companies, namely, “The May Russell Burlesque Co.” This company has appeared at all the leading theatres in the country, and has just left New York, having played an engagement of four weeks there. A critic of that city in speaking of the performances has this to say: A more refined performance than that given by the .May Russell .00., this week, at Miner’s Theatre, was never seen in this city. Each and every one of the per- formers is an artist, and every act a feature. simply georgeous, the music all new and catchy, and the burlesque the fun- niest ever seen here. The play was written by that Prince of Playwriters, Frederick Soloman, and it is one of the few shows of this kind that a lady can attend without having her sense of modesty shocked.

Evidence Concerning the Treat- ment of Policy Holders of the Connecticflt Indemnity Association. NORWALK, CONN.. Nov. 17th, 1891. The Connecticut Indemnity Ascocia- tion, W'aterbury, Conn. GENTLEMENz—Your agent, G. A. Franke, having just handed me a New York draft for $368.57, Iwish to publicly thank you for your promptness and square dealing. I am satisfied from my experience with you that since I was insured for five thousand dollars, with weekly accident benefits of twenty dollars in 1889, that your company al- ways will act for the best interests of its policy holders. Your ready payment of my claim for eighteen weeks and three days con- firms my good opinion of you. . Wishing you the success that you so well deserve, I remain Very truly yours, (Signed) J No. W. BANKS. NEW HAVEN, CONN., Dec. 6th, 1890. GENTLEMEN :—Letme thank you most sincerely for your promptness in pay- ing me my claim of $1,000 on the policy issued to my late husband,Isaac \Vatts. I shall always bless the day that he in- sured his life in your company. You have done me a great favor by paying the claim before it was due. My hus- band had only paid in $97.76. and I have received such great benefit. Yours very gratefully, ( Signed) SARAH A. WATTS. PROVIDENCE, R. 1., Jan. 24, 1891. The Connecticut Indemnity Association: Let me thank you for your prompt and courteous treatment. Mr. \V. A. Armstrong formerlyof Norwich,Conn., was insured in your company more than six years ago, and the entire cost to him, at the age of 58, to carry $1,000 insurance, providing $5 per week in case of disability, was only $101.75, or $16.40 per year. Deducting the bene- fits paid him during his life, the net cost of his $1,000 insurance was only $11.75. This money will prove a great help to me. Had he invested the same money in the savings bank, he would have realized nothing during his disa- bility. and would have left me only $113.16, instead of the $1,000 at death. Old line companies would have paid but 8303 insurance for the money paid to your company by my husband. ( Signed) ELIZABETH ARMSTRONG. DANRURY,CONN., June 16, 1891. L—Ithan staincerely forgo very prompt payment of the insurance money due under policy 921,0n my late husband, J. Beardsley. He had been insured in your company since 1884, and had always found you generous and reliable in your dealings with him as a policy-holder. My thanks are es— pecially due your company, because, although Mr. Beardsley, while tempo- rarily deranged, committed suicide, still you in no respect questioned the validity of my claim. The payment was not due me by the terms of the policy till August 27th. You have paid me seventy days in advance. MRS EMILY BEARDSLEY. WATRRBURY, CONN., July 22. 1891. Edward A. Wright, Secretary of the Connecticut Indemnity Association, lVaterbury, Conn. DEAR SIR : I hardly know how to ex- press my thanks to your company for the reat kindness shown me. My hus- ban . Eddie McGuo, insured in your company, April 24, 1891, for $1,000, paying $13.33. He died of typhoid- pneumonia, July 19, and tO-day,.July 22; your general agent, Mr. Hastings, handed me your check for the full amount of my claim. He made out all papers for me, and kindly brought me your check, thereby saving me much trouble and annoyance. I feel that this promptness and attention on your part should not be overlooked by me ; therefore I shall be glad to do_any- thing in my power to let my friends and others know how you do business. I think the benefit of your insurance, as shown in my case, should lead many others to insure with you. Yours was the only company in which my husband was insured. Thanking you with all my heart for what you have done for me, I remain Yours very respectfully, BRIDGET MCGUO. LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y., July 28, ’91. E. A.

Mr. Robbins preached a forcible sermon, well adapted to the occasion. At St. Paul’s, Rev. Mr. Graham preached an able and earnest discourse and the music was particularly - good. At Grace church the Rector gave a timelv discourse. The music, conduct- ed by Prof. Baker, was exceptionally fine and the church was liberally deck- ed out with autumn fruits, vegetables and flowers. The Rector, at the close of the service, gave notice that these object lessons were designed for any sick or poor persons either in or out of the parish, to whom they would be ac- ceptable, and invited aid in their pro- per distribution.

The con- gregation waited patiently till 8, when the. choir failing to arrive the con re- gation was dismissed by the rector nd the chapel which had been provided for the choir. The disappointment was caused, .it is claimed, by a misunder- standing between Prof. Baker and the rector of Trinity church, Bridgeport. The disappointment of the people was verygreat and one explanation given that it was caused by a blunder on the part of Prof. Baker and of clerical, “touchiness on the part of Trinity’s rector, only made the people all the . . more angry. invited to partake of refreshments in.
