The most impertant question to e settied at the peils en Monday. is whether Norwich shall centinue its present form of gevernment or adopt the cemmissien fermn, which is being experimentally tried By abeut one hundred cities, great and small, in nineteen states, f Since this in effect is a reveolution in government, it certainly sheutd com- mand the attention and interest of avery voter in the city, because it will disectly affect all their interes for better or for werse and should Il out a decisive vote tp shew that we are allve to vital matters, hew ever indifferent we may appear to he to the general aftairs of the commun- ity. So far as this new form of govein- ment ceufd be exploited by corre- ypendence, The Bulietin has made in- wuiries and received answers from most of the cittes which have adopted It, #il of which have been printed and from which the readers of The Bulle- i sWould he capable of coming to & rational equeluston and be prompted te wise actien on Monda; The virtue ef gevernment does not rest in t:c. but in execution.

If the veters of Norwich desire & ehange of form in government there is ne reasen why =& eingle protest sheuld be raised; but it is the duty ef every man upen whom responsibility rests to his part in directing deciding a question’ of such deep con- cerm to every family im the city. It would be a shame to Nerwich to have & minerity of the actual voters deter- mine & matver of such impert, hecause it would disc! indifference to governmemtal issues, which weuld put in question the fitness of the men of Norwich fer self-govesnment.

It the selection of municipal efcials depends solely upon the fitness of the candidates, the republican neminees must command popular faver, for most ef them are men ef experience in p#mlic life, with geod records, which stand as a guaranty for effi- clemey. The twe candidates for aldermen, Joseph D. Haviland and Frank H. Smith, are live business men and ac- tive and influential citizens. The first named hag served in the court of com- mon eounmcil and is president of the Nerwich beard of (rade; and Mr. Smith has directed the affairs of his party and is recognized as a capable citisen by the veters regardless ef party lines The men named for ail the other of- fices are men whose fliness is recog- nized by all whe know them: and the superior qualifications for city treas- urer of C.

His life-training a8 an aceeuntant and fmancier makes him a most desirable man for the place The republican ticket as a whole invites the suppert of all classes of votess because the nominees are rec- ognized as men whe will administer the affairs of the city with conscien- tieug regerd for the welfare of all the people.

POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES BY COUNTIES. The report upon the loss and gain of population by counties in the con- tinental United States has just been issued by the census bureau at Wash- ington. It shows that the organization or changes in boundaries of counties in centinental United States, which have occurred during the twenty vears from 1830 to 1910 are explained in the bul- letin. The states and territories compris- ing continental United States are di- vided into 2,956 counties or equivalent subdivislons, but, because of the or- ganization of new ceunties from parts of ether counties since 1900, compari- sons of increame or decrease in popu- Iation are made in the first table for only 2,841 counties or combinations of counties. For continental United States, as a whole, the population has decreased since 1900 in 771 counties or combina- tons of counties, representing 27.1 per cent. of the entire number con- sidered, while In 2,070 counties, er 72.9 per cemt, it has increased. In 327 counties, or 11.5 per cent. of the en- tire number considered, the increase in pepulation lln(’e 1900 was less than 5 per cent; in or 19.7 per cent., 1t was from 5 to 15 per cent.: in 269, cent., it was frem 15 to 25 in 366, or 12.9 per cent, it 25 to 50 per cent ;. and in 449, or 8 per cent, it was 50 per cent. or more. In the New England division, com- posed of Maine New Hampshire, Var- mont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, there were 18 coun- ties which decreased and 49 which in- creased, Of the latter, 32 increased from 5 to 15 percent: per cent.: nine from 15 to 25 per cent., and eight from 25 to 58 per cent, there being ne higher rate of gain in this division, Of the eight other divisions, the Middle Atlantic, the East North Cen- tral, the West North Central, the Scuth Atlantie, the East South Cen- tral, West South Central, the Moun- tain and the Pacific divisions, in four the galn was above 58 per cent. for the most advanced countles and un- der 50 per cent. in the four other di- visions. per cent.; EDITORIAL NOTES.

It is easy to get the mt of advising people who do not a ciate the wisdom one is anxious im- part; and it is easy also for one to overestimate the value of his concep- tion of things. Real good people be- come bores because they misconceive the line of duty and venture to do things which are not agreeable to those addressed. There are so few who ever think of the opportune mo- ment, or have the ability to recognize it. that endeavor is often most intp- portune, which means that it is out of order and quite likely unmwelcome. Some people are so intent minding the business of others that they are real- Iy offended if they have to mind their own business. The only time in life to mind the other fellow's business is when he thinks we are competent to do s0 and that he needs us; preverb which says: “A dog that will fetch a bone will carry one:” or, in other words, the gossip who will tell tales to you will carry them to others. This is why it is hest when a friend comes to- tell you a mean thing some one has said about you. that you should always think to speak charitably or kindly of the party reported to have made the cutting remarks. When we make in- inuative or abusive remarks because some one else has, we immediately fall to their level and meet their ex- pectations, for the go-between carries a bone which shows that we have been stung and are waspish. This is the point in life where the unexpected is the best thing te have delivered— where a kind word may turn aw: wrath; and if it does not it makes the speaker of it appear superior. If no- thing can be said in kindness, silence then s wisdom. We expect children to be resentful; but when we become men and women we are commanded to put away childish things.

If it was a virtue to be so sensitive to the vice of another that ome Must at once bocome viperish, we should not mind such conduct: but since loving one’s enemies is one of the highest and best attainments ac- cording to Holy writ, there appears to be a flendish spirit under the resentful- ness which is intended to_ injure an- other on all occasions. Hate and all the irritation which goes with it only injures the hater, for the one hated is not censcious of the disregard for him; and doubtless he would laugh if he was. Only the calm and self-con- tained ean become great or get all the jey out of life there is in it for man. 1t is not mind-wracking thought that disturbe an enemy, but well directed action. The ability to utterly igmore such a person is masterful. I am of the opinion a wild doe would be too much for an ordinary dahlia patch, and that he would leave it in about as bad shape as a bull would a china shop. Oue morning last week one of my neighbors heard a noise outside and looking out saw a wild doe quietly browsing upon grass in his backyard; and when dis- turbec the doe leaped a five-foot fence and went into a neighboring grass lot where he browsed for quite awhile. Since wild deer have been seen in the business streets of Hartford and oth- er Conneciicut cities of recent years it is not surprising to wake up early in the morning and find them helping themselves to good fodder in the resi- dential parts of any citv. These graceful animals are held in high es- teem by both the hunters and the sen- timentalists; but the protection the state has threwn around them has re- sulted in making them almest as tame as domestic animals and it is not a rare thing to meet them anywhers on country reads or te see them in the pastures grazing quietly with the cat- tle. A deer looks prettier in the flelds than in a choice flower garden, or in among the tender zarden truck tak- ing a lunch. It is out of the dark and supe titious past that most of our queer no- tiens ceme. It is not & sane mind which cenceived and perpetuated the idea that a Wright and beautiful day is a weather brseder; or that destin fixed and consummatsd without regar to the habits er purpose of the indi- vidual; er that giadness today fore- shadows sadness tomorrow: or that Fate settles the affairs of men, not God. It is strange that any one in this age will take such things sariously: but many do because they are Hving in the shadow of the past Instead of in the bright sunshine of the present. The power of selection is man’'s; and it is strange what he will take home i0 his heart when there are $o many good things te select from. Man too often selects ideas which excite fear, and fear leads directly to desparation. not to peace of mind er to the adminis- tration of justice. It is those who ap- prehend trouble who worry mest. Man smiles, but he does not sing eneugh: and too often his face is out of tune with his heart. The cut-werms are numerous in the patch, as they appear to be in all gardens in the neighborheod. These subterranean caterpillars are the young of the grass moth of the tribe of Agrostidae, and they have tarried in tha ground all winter and subsisted on the tender rootlets when the in- tense cold did not make them le dormant. On barren ground they are found sleek and fat early in the spring, and as soon ay anything is planted they have a habit of gnaw- ing eoff the stalk clese to the ground in the night. They ara children of the night, and have no faney for the sun- light which they enjoy se much in the mature winged form. They put the farme te finding means fer preNent- ing tl r ravages, and they are at- tracted to poisoned preferred green food drepped in the field: eor foiled oy encloging the little sprout in a tube of #tiff tar paper until their season has passed. They are a troublesome pest and do ne end of damage every vear Like sin, they are ever-present with us. I have been impressed the past weeic that the rebin has the same power to rve things behind him that have the alligators and the spiders. I have observed rohins fer many vears ana never noticed anything peculiar about their pewers of observation tlil the other day when one that was intently running forward suddenly turned and ran obliquely to the rear twzive or fifteen feet and captured an insect from a weed. I de not know whether the insect flew and lit where it was surprised, or was crawling up the st2m of 3 weed. So far as the robin . concerned that would make no difference. When looking straight ahead he saw the quarry behind him, sh ng that his hindsight is as de- pendable as his foresizht. and that ir profits him while in quest for food for nimself or his veung. I have never neticed in the boeks of authorities any reference te his ability 'in this direction: but it anpears to be werth recording.

Here it is: After a day of skirmishes a body of our men ander Harold's command was returning to camp, when just as they neared our lines they heard firing and found a lively little exchange of shots was taking éxce in their close vicin- ity. Their first thought was to join in the fighting, but they were under orders to return at a certain hour, and S0 struck into the woods nearby to find a short cut to ¢amp. Soon groans and cries for water reached their ears and they saw a group of wounded men on the ground. The spot where the poor men lay was an open space di- rectly in line of fire, and anyone in crossing it would be in danger from both sides. ‘“The popr fellows want water,’” cried Harold, ‘and there is a spring close by. “‘What of that? said another, ‘You'll be right in range of their guns.

When the gallant soldier, the ver- satile writer, the intrepid reformer and the ecultured gentleman who bore the name of Themas Wentworth Higgin- son died recently in Cambridge, Mass., at the ripe age of 87, the warmth of the tributes to him in the press, on public platforms and en many indi- vidual lips proved that one of the eom- paratively few distinct figures in American life had passed on. Honored as the author of delightful essays and stirring poems. appreciated because of the nimble wit and lively imagination that imparted peculiar charm to @ll his public_speaking, it is doubiful whether Col. Higginson now would be. held in such fond remem- brance were it not for the width of his sympathies and the devetien of all his power through a long series of years to the welfare of his fellow- men. Americans of the older generation do not forget that in the early days o the civil war this polished gentleman and fine scholar forsook his studies and the refined society to which he had been accustomed from childhood and willingly underwent the hardships of the camp and the mareh. The sinceri- tv and depth of his passion for free- dom was shown by the alacrity with which he organized the first regiment of negre troops in the service of the natien and the skill and courage with which he led them until he himself was disabled by wounds. And since the war Col. Higginson has lent his forceful aid te many a worthy and needy cause. H The day before he 8ied, there pass- ed_away in the ancient city of Sen- dai, Japan, a man considerably his junior, whe had rounded out 67 years of eventful and fruitful living, more than half of which he had given to Japan. He went thither as a voung man, not in the service of the narrow proselytism but to bring to bear, as tactfully as he might upon the plastic life of the people just emerging into a new and glorious era the moral and spiritual forces associated with all that is best in the western clviliza- tion. So generous was his attitude, so wise were his policies, so disinterested his work that in time he won the hearts of Japanese. many of them prominent n -public life. He was the favored guest of the army when it was on duty in Manchuria. He was officially com- missioned to study the conditions in Korea and twice wes he decorated by the emperor. He belonged te that company of men and women so often misunderstood, not infrequently divided and setdom appreciated at their true value, who ption, and it is more pre\slpml are called missionaries. THe himselt was proud of his calling and a noble exponent of a broad Christianity, of a far-reaching humenitarianism was John Hyde De Forest. whom not a few Japanese thought of as almost a Jap- anese. But he was also one of our great modern Americans. Two different men. and two ve different careers. But each invested his life in behaif of his fellow-men. And both considered money, ease, fame to be of little moment com- pared with the outpouring of self on the altar of the world’s needs. Is there any other investment of life that pays such large dividends? THE PARSON.
