Tne Speakers‘nlp.
The eastern papers of the state are
already advocating with earnest enthu-
siasm, the candidacy of Represen tative
WILLIAM C. MAUEY, of Norwich. for
V {the coming Speakership of the House.
Mr. Maury is a bright minded man of
legislative experience already acquired
and it is no disparagement of other
candidates who may aspire to that
honor, to say that no member of the ‘
new Legislature possesses all the quali-
ties requisite for a popular and success-
ful Speaker, in a greater degree than
the. He is sound in judgment, quick
in decision, master of Parliamentary
law and rulings and so familiar with
LegislatiVe proceedings as to leave
nothing more to‘ be desired in the way
of practical acquirements for the posi-
tion. As an earnest and popular Re-
publican worker, he is abundantly
worthy of the honor and as a gentle-
man of the highest character, and with-
al so amiable and entirely free from ir-
ritability, as never to lose his head or
get rattled, (as so many presiding offi-
cers do )—that we do not see his equal
for the place among any of the long
list of able men on the Republican side
of the House.

Was Senator Hill Loyal?
Certain newspapers and certain indi-
viduals who might profit by a protrac-
ted and lively contest between the
Cleveland and Hill elements in the
Democratic party, are disposed to ques-
tion the sincerity of Senator Hill’s po«
sition during the campaign, says the
Washington Post. In other words it is
charged that the Senator secretely con-
. spired to' affect the defeat of Mr.
Cleveland.
The returns from the State of New
York furnish very slight provocation
Had Senator Hill and
his friends desired to defeat Mr. Cleve-
land, the result in New York would'
have been quite difiercnt, although
Mr. Cleveland would have been elected
without the vote of the EmpireState.
The charge of treachery against Sen-
ator Hill at this particular time is
rather significant. It is undoubtedly
put forth for the purpose of discredit-
ing him with the people and freezing
him out of his share of the good things
which are supposed to follow the re-
cent Democratic victory. Possibly
this arrangement may succeed, but it
will be uphill work to prove that there
were any considerable number of dis-
loyal Democrats in New York last
month.

Close the Gates.
Between June 30, 1891. and the same
date this year the great wave of for-
eign immigration, according to the of-
ficial figures compiled at! Washington,
. tumbled on our shores the enormous
number of 579,663 persons. The pros-
pects are that an army equally large
will arrive here within the next twelve
months, so that every two years we are
,1 ”receiving a million of people, or nearly
one one-sixtieth of our total population,
says the Recorder.
Is it not time to restrict, if not to
turn back totally, this gigantic inva-
sion ‘2 At least one-half of this im-
mense horde can never become Ameri-
cans in the true meaning of the word.
They will hardly learn our language,
will never have a. proper conception of
our Constitution, or, understand the
«complex character of the Government
‘ to whose. privileges of citizenship they
will be admitted. Self-preservation
commands a halt. We are placing in
peril the very existence of our institu-
tions and incurring risks which com-
mon sense, not to say statesmanship,
' Should warn us to avoid.
This is the moral and political side
, of the question, but there is another
one. Unrestricted immigration during
' ,, the year before us may mean the com-
ing of a pestilence which would carry
. , death into. hundreds of thousands of
homes. We had a. narrow escape from
that awful calamity ninety days ago.
Let us guard in time against apossible
recurrence of it.
Congress must close the gates at once.
The men who shall vote against the
proposition will incur a.‘ responsibility
they may regret.
Miss Hubbell’s Poor Consolation.‘“
We are glad to hear that Miss-Hub-
bell, of Greenfield Hill, Conn., has re-
icovered damages. She deserved them,
says the Washington Post.
More than five years ago Miss Hub-
bell was attacked by a ram. The rem
did not belong to her, but was tres-
passing upon land that she owned.
Miss Hubbell endeavored to eject him
and he went for her. This was in May,
1887. The damage suit has just been
concluded and Miss Hubbell gets
$1,750. The figure leads us to infer
that the court must have given her $1
for each butt delivered upon her per-
son by the ram. since all accounts agree
that she was butted at least. 1,750
times. She was ill for a long time af-
ter the collision. It seems to have
been an earnest and painstaking ram—-
indeed. he was zealous to 5. remarkable
degree. for the story goes that he so
mixed himself up with the young lady’s
skirts that he was strangled and died
soon after being extricated, Miss Hub-
bell, however, recovered. It is per-
haps not so fatal to life to be butted 31
over a four-acre field as to get wrapped
up in a strange young woman’s petti-
coats. At any rate the ram died and
and Miss Hubbell got well.
As we have said, the damage suit be-
gan in 1888—.—as soon,in fact, as Miss
Hubbell was able to resume her place
at the family board—has just termi-
nated, and the plaintiff gets $1,750. \Ve
are glad to know it. We should have
been glad if the damages had been
greater. Getting butted by a ram at
$1 per butt is not an extravagantly
profitable business, especially for a
young lady presumably a stranger to
rams and butts.
The Two Minute Trotter.
“Budd Doble. whose catarrhal name
so fills the nasal trump of fame,” as
poetically expressed by the inimitable
Holmes, telegraphed his friends from
Boston yesterday that Mr. Forbes, the
owner of Nancy Hanks, has agreed to
let him keep the great mare and beat
2.04 with her next season. She is now
at Terre Haute, Indiana, and was to
have been bred to Arion, but this
change of purpose gives Doble a chance
to fulfill his prophecy made in private,
that the mare is capable of accomplish-
ing that phenominal and unprecedent-
ed speed as a trotter. When recently
asked if he really and truly believed
in the two minute- trotter, he replied :
“To doubt it would'be to put no faith
in the signs of the the times. I remem—
ber when the first horse beat 2 :20, as if
it were only yesterday, and had an y
one told me then that one day I would
have in my stable 9. horse that would
go in 2 :04, and two others that would
beat 2 :09 in a race, I would have con-
sidered it impossible. Since then we
have better tracks, better appliances
and better methods of training, and it
is only a question of time when two
minutes w111 be reached. I would not
be surprised to see it reached next
year.”
Nancy Hank’s marvelous record has
brought to light a record of scientific
calculation which shows that the feat
was not simply an instance of nature’s
freakishness for suddenly producing a.
creature of monstrous superiority to its
kind, but in accordance with a regular
and normal evolution for which the
higher mathematics can furnish with
substantial accuracy 9. table of pro-
gress. A professor of Yale and anoth-
er of IVashington University have
turned a little scientific attention to
the history and prospects of the Ameri-
can trotting records, and ten years a go
as our esteemed contemporary the
Turf, Field and Farm shows us, Prof.
Nipher, of Washington, published the
figures which by his calculations the
past predicted for the future, carrying
them forward to the time when the
trotter’s development should be ap-
proximately completed, like the run-
ning horse’s Iii-llfl5.- ,
The figure of two minutes for the
mile, which since Maud S. dropped be-
low 2:10, loomed in the distance of the
imagination as perhaps the ideal trot-
ter’s ultimate limit, got a place in Prof.
N ipher’s reckoning only as a step in
the march to a. goal far enough beyond
to put the two-minute trotter hopeless-
ly out. Starting from 1818, the year of
the first three-minute performance, and
observing the spread and reduction of
records since, the calculation has been
made that in the course of another cen-
tury and a. half, or in the year 2141. the
trotter will have fairly lapped the run-
ner. and will be good for a mile in 1 :41.
Both divisions of the equine race will
finish their existence with powers in
the neighborhood of such as they have
then.
The argument for Prof. N ipher’s ex-
pectations? The most satisfying is that
in his tables published ten years ago,
which showed that from 1854 to 1881
the mathematical curve representing
the increased speed calculated for
every three years coincided. with triv-
ial discrepancies, with the line of de-
velopment in fact, the record foretold
for 1892 was 2 :07. The record , given
for 1900 is 2:04. Nancy Hanks has giv-
ren us that already as the record of 1892.
Meet the Danger at Once.
Let considerate and patriotic. Sena-
tors and Representatives of both par-
ties soberly study the revolutionary po-
litical movements in Kansas, Wyoming,
Montana and Oregon; the uncertainty
as =0 the Electoral vote in
an Electoral vote in Ohio and Kansas
by technical errors of voters, and they
must reach the conclusion that our
cumbrous and arbitrary Electoral Col-
lege is pregnant with fearful per'a to
the future safety of the Republic.
There would be no safety to the gov-
ernment now if the Presidential con;
test of 1892 depended upon the change
of a few Electoral votes; and the near-
ly evenly divided popular strength of
parties asshown since 1872, soberly ad.
monishes our statesmen of the extreme
danger to our free institutionsinfuture
national contests, if our present Elec-
toral system shall be continued. Let
us not forget that in 1876 one Electoral
vote decided the Presidency, and that
against a popular majority of 250,000,
after the nation had been brought to
the very verge of anarchy.
What statesman is equal to the task
of promptly presenting an amendment
to the Constitution providing for the
election of President and Vice Presi-
dent by a. direct vote of the people, and
and making the Presidential term ‘ix
years hereafter with ineligibility for
re-election? The statesman who shall
propose and press to success such an
amendment to our fundamental law,
must win the grateful homage of the
whole people of the country, says the
Philadelphia. Times.
The amendment should provide that
the people shall vote directly for Pres-
ident and 7' Vice president; that the
candidates receiving the highest num-
ber of votes shall be elected; that all
persons qualified to vote for members
of the popular branch of Congress
shall be qualified to vote for President,
and a national tribunal, as free from
partisan bias as possible, should be
created to pass upon any contest of a
national election.
Such an amendment would end the
mastery of money in Presidential bat-
battles; it would end the vocation of
the boodler and the ballot thief in a
dozen or more debatable States and it
would compel parties ‘to appeal to the
whole country on broad, patriotic is-
sues instead of collecting millions to
\win particular States by debauchery.
It would nationalize our Presidential
conflicts and at once elevate and pu-
rify the political methods of all parties.
The original purpose of the Electoral
system perished a century ago, and it
is now only a ceaseless fountain of de-
moralization in national battles and a
fearful menace to the perpetuity of the
Republic. ‘N -
The business and industrial interests
of the country have become so vast and
varied that a Presidential contest every
four years, with the possible change of
governmental policy, has become one
of the gravest obstacles to business
trust and tranquility. No administra-
tion policy can be intelligently tested
in the brief period of the Presidential
term after its enactment, and uncer-
tainty and unrest are ever hanging like
a pull over the energies of the people.
With a Presidential term of Six years,
and the President ineligible to election
as his own immediate successor, every
material interest of the country would
be inspired by general confidence and
the nation would be spared the often
humiliating and lawless abuse of the
power of the government to continue
an administration in office.
These amendments to the national
Constitution would mean tranquility
and confidence in all the varied chan-
nels of finance, commerce, industry
and trade, and they would mean peace
to the country and safety to the Re-
public. If proposed to the States by
the present Congress, they would be
promptly ratiml by the nearly unani-
mous vote of States 1n their respec-
tive Legislatures. The men who shall
lead in this great reform will be the
honored statesmen and patriots of the
age. Who will win this homage from
the American people ?
