The candidates will be George M. Landers of New Britain, Charles W. Comstock of Montville and Lieutenant Governor Lyman Tin- gier of Vernon.—Bridgeport Tele- gram. It looks that way now, but the con- ditions may change between now and convention time. There has always been some doubt as to whefher Mr. Tingier cared to make a contest on account of the expense, but it does not seem as if the Comstock boom was anything but idle talk. A cir- cular has been sent out by someone styling himself a “Norwich Demo- crat,” but no name was given and a boost from some unknown person ls not likely to be .taken very seriously by the state. It is no injustice to either Mr. Comstock or his Norwich friend to say that he is not a strong ¢andidate and that were he nominated the objections made to his contin- uance as chairman of the state com- mittee would be raised against him as a candidate for governor; he would thave a hard time during the campaign d there is much doubt as to whether lhe would be able to stem the tide of lopposition. No one who knows any- thing about the political game has been heard to say that he could carry the state, and so long as this feel- ing exists it is folly to talk of him as a sgubernatorial possibility. ‘With Mr. Landers it's different. He has a good political record and backed up by dbility and unguestioned popu- larity he would be able to make the best run of any of the men spoken 6t so far, and if he cannot win then does not seem as if any one can. He has not 'declared himself as a -andidate so far as known, but if he lis in the race he is in all probability the strongest and best equipped man lthe democracy has for the head of its Istate ticket. IEDITOR GETS WHIFF FROM SEWER BEDS. New Britain is confronted with the fact that the sewage system of the city which has been in _ trouble for many years, is any- thing but satisfactory. Those get- ting a Wwhiff of the Dresent sys- . tem as they ride by the sewer beds not adjacent to New Britain will i be willing witnesses without ques- | tion.—Middletown Penny Press. Whift is good and it is also suf- ficient.| Those who drive through Ber- in are always impressed with its auties; the flowers grow ther in ofusion, the meadqws are green, he gentle flow of the Mattabes- tt river as it wends its way to Mid- dletown, rippling. in its course, is onducive to Doetic thought and bs it slowly passes the office of the ress, the intelligent compositor bauses in his work, drops a Wwrong ont letter in his stick and the editor®| bazes with rapture upon the peace- ul but happy stream. And vet our eighbors in Berlin would say that the ers are discolored, that the sewer beds emit an odor which the term ‘whiff,” used by our discreet con- emporary, does not fully describe and which may be obtained while driving by the property which New Britain burchased and which Berlin, the rent town of this thriving city, per- s in placing on the tax list at a re not in accordance with the es- 'm and affection’ to which a long elationship might well entitle us. ‘The Herald alludes to the remark of esteemed contemporary concerning odors “which rise from the beds hen’ the editor of the Press is drlv- ¢ by in hiddspeed wagon and which e so cautiously describes as a “whiff,” gentle but nevertheless expressive erm, as a matter of duty. [bhere is no desire to make a parison between the keenness of _olfactory nerves of the editor of lhe Press and some of the people of e ancient town of Berlin, but we are lined to pin our faith to the de- on of thé gentleman of the quill. he live long enough to ride by 56 beds after New Britain has blown another half million dollars there he ‘may, view with pleasure the Fation of ghe pumps as they throw ‘gewage high in the air, thereby 5 926 [t “PSYCHIC EQUIVALENT.” Manysand various have been the de- fenses \offered by people accused ot capital crimes and probably no one takes any' stock in.them, except:the alienists, and there has often ' been much}doubt expressed as to)whethex even ' they belleved what they saiq, they testifying along a certain line simply because they had been em- ployed to do so. A man named Boswell C.. Smith killed a girl in Chicago the other day and(Dr. Hickson, who -is in charge of the .psychopathic bureau of Chicago says; that at the time of the mur- der Smith was known to science as being in a state of ‘“‘psychic equiva- lent,” gripped by an epileptic fit that convulsed his mind without extena- ing to his body. He then gives this explanation of the murderer: ‘“An epileptic, while ‘racked by the - ‘psy- chic e?uivalent,' loses all intellectual insight. Murder becomes a thing as natura] as passing the time of day. These feeble-minded persons, of whom there are perhaps 50,000 in Chicago, should be segregated. I do not mean they should be confined, but the sane population “should “be protected against them. I should have them placed on farms, where they.might work outdoors under the -eyes of watchful keepers. The way to bring this segregation about is to extena and develop psychopathic bureaus in connection with' the courts.” If such an explanation is put up to the average juryman, who is sworn to render a verdict according to the evidence, he is apt to find it difficult to know just what to do. The general opinion is that a man who wilF take a child and kill it ought to be killea himself and that those who ' have the “psychic equivalent” ought to be confined -where they cannot do any ‘harm when the idea to take human Ufe strikes them. The murderer in this case is a sick man; soare many others in the same city and it is said that most of them are feeble-mindead. That, however, is only additional proof of the need of rounding them up amd placing them where they can- not do any harm. B MOSQUITOES. A tomato can a couple of hundred yards from your house, standing right side up and filled with rainwater, unseen, in an un- improved field, can furnish mos- quitoes enough in a season to keep a neighborhood screened or scratching. It is not necessary to be in the vicinity of a pool or swamp. The absence of apparent breeding places of the mosquito is not evidence that your locality is not .breeding them. For the breeding of the mosquito stagnant water is needed. The period is about two weeks. Then the wrig- gler' will arise and soon be about her business. It is the female that descends like the Assyrian. The male, matured, lives about three days, an enemy of society only as he is the father "of his race. He stings not and ‘his hours are brief. He is gathered to his fathers and madgme, his wife, goes forth to raise wrigglers and welts, to ravage the fair places of the earth.—Chicago Tribune. The average person understands that stagnant water should not be al- lowed around a person’s premises, there is much evidence that it is being prevented in many places and as a result there are less mosquitoes ex- cept along the shore and in low ana swampy spots. These cannot be very well eliminated, but when we referrea to the voracious pest in the vicihity of one of our leading shore resorts the other day the statement was de- nied and some of our esteemed con- temporaries showed an inclination to question the truth of the statements. The war on the fly has been started and he is having a difficult time in getting a living, especially among the best of families, where he enjoyed a pleasant feeding ground in past years. There has been some progress made in destroying the breeding place of the mosquito, so that if business would pick up a bit there is no rea. son why we should not all be a hap. Py people.

Mr. Wilson is the subject of a good deal of discussion in political circles —has been since he entered the White House. He has greatly inter- ested professional politicians and pro- fessional observers of political events. As a new hand he has shown some new methods of doing business. He has courage beyond a doubt. He does not hesitate to assume all the obligations and take all the risks of leadership. He has made the new leadership a fact well understood. There is no mistaking the head of the table, or who sits there. His course has elicited praise from many of the men who helped put him into office. There are others, however, who have their misgivings. He has moved a little too briskly and confi- dently for them. & They could have wished for a pace less rapid and for greater care in Bicking the way in the man at the head of the procession. As they think, he has assumed too much responsibility and taken too many risks. It would have been better for him and for his party had he listened more patiently to suggestions from veterans with many campaigns and some successes to their credit. In other words,~according to these men, Mr. Wilson got too smooth and safe a start. The way seemed clear for any speed he might choose to make. His party, long out of power as the result of squabblings and di- |vistons, wag -now in.power, chagtened = and obedient frem its unhappy ex- perience. Having erred and strayed from the proper path like a lost sheep, and. followed too much the de- vices and desires of its own heart, it ‘Was easily influenced by the strength and confidence shqwn by the new shepherd. H B Mr. Cleveland sufféred from a sim- ilar experiénce. Hg too, was new to national life when ‘he first entered the White House. ‘The democracy, too, at that tome had just’ returned from a long and trying fast in the wil- derness. The sight of a feast mads it impatient; but as it could -not fall to until the master of ceremonies gave the word it was very obedient to him. In that way he got too smooth and safe a start. When the rough part of the jour- ney was reached it proved very rough. The going was difficult. Some of the men who had .beer closest to Mr. Cleveland at the outset now drew away from ‘him. Some discontinued their ‘visits to the -White House. It became a period of storm and stress for the party, and in the end the party went to defeat., Mr. Cleveland’s second term was even morefdisastrous than the first; and at Chicago in 1896 Mr. Bryan was put in charge of the wreck—a joh which proved beyond his powers. Mr. Wilson today is bearing a heav- ier burden than Mr. Cleveland did at any time during the latter's eight years in the presidency. The lead- ers of his party in cohgress have strapped their packs to his back and he not only has not complained, but has.even invited the-increased loads BESSE-LELAND’S THE LIVE STORE We Will Refun the $1.00 to Yo “Should 'you have purchased a Man’s High ‘Shoe of us marked “SHAROOD” bring it back to us and we will refund $1 to you.
