CONNECTICUT IS SAFE.. Connecticut will not lose a repre- sentative In congress under any re- apportionment bill that is lkely to e reported to the house. Even if the membership is kept at the present figure, 391, which is what the repub- lican caucus voted to do, the state will retain its five members. The elabarate tables prepared by the cen- sus bureau on this subject show that if ‘the membership of the house is ‘fixed at 391, the ratio will be one rep- rosentative to every 235,043 inhab-- itants. Connecticut has a population of 1,114,756, and the exact quota of the state would be, according to the tables of the census buream, 4.7427 members, - As this is over 50 per cent. more than four members, the state retains its fifth representative, and the exact ratio for the state will be 222,951, provided flve districts of ap- Borwich alletin and Goufied. 115 YEARS OLD.

Hamilton, dealing largely with the results gained in Des Moines un- der the new charter, presents in sur- prising contrast an almost idéal con- dition of government under the new charter and a condition of gross mis- management and corruption under the old. I cannot present so striking a picture of the resulits in Haverhill be- the public recording of what has been largely determined upon in previous informal but private meetings., The mayor has not the power of veto, bu his will and determination are so po- tent that the lack of the power is no | hindrance to his policies He is the dominant member without the power | of veto. this summary to con- | I" have tried in proximately equal population are au- | cause there is no such dark hback-|sider only influences and .results at- thorized by the legislature. ground for contrast—its government | tributable to the charter; to leave m Circulation of The census committee of the house | under the former charter was neither | out any discussion of policies which is now at work preparing a bill in ac- | reckless nor _corrupt—and because | are determined by the judgments of | Th B cordance with the vote of the repub- | there is no great marvel lnlz‘;mbthmgs thoss. chosen to administer: and to ? accomplished. at could be rea- | make no reference Lo improvements e Bulletin. lican cauous, but it 1s hardly prob- | JSCEMN Geeicd, however, has been |no way | altributablo to either the Absolutely Pure he Dulletia ks the Iargest ot || 201, that Such & BIll can go through | gained.

It has eliminated largely from| the preliminary election—(the caucus) | and entirely from the final election tha ward politician type of candidate. The| power of the ward boss is gone when representation by wards is excluded | and the city is treated as an organic whole. Men worthy qf office have been willing to be candidates, and the vot- ers have show intelligence in secking | to nominte and elect men because of | their character and ability. It would be impossible for the voter to_find now what too commonly we found under the old methods of ward and party nominations, a ticket containing the names of men neither widely nor fa- vorably known, placed there in reward for past selfish’ service or in pledge for | future selfish service. If such dared seek nomination in the preliminary |, election, they would be dropped from the final ballot by the selective process of that election. The small number of names on the ballot, no more than | the issuing of bonds, and many like matters are dependent upon the judg- ment of the men chosen to admini the affairs of the city, and in t e mnot measures of the value of the charter. house. RIGHT FROM VERMONT. Admiral Dewey is generally re- garded as a hero, and it seems strange to hear him maligned here in New England and scouted as something | worse than a snob.

In & fow years it was proven that he was of po use as an insect destroyer; that he was dirty, noisy, quarrelsome and was driving song birds away from oity parks and suburban towns. In 188% the department of agriculture published an exhaustive report of 498 pages, wholly in his disfavor. Since then he has increased enormously and is generally regarded as a nulsance, sithough his qualities of bravery and endurance have won him some sym- pathy, despite his bad habits.
