Just ‘whit the basis of representation would ®e was not determined, but their sen- timent was Indicated by the resolution which was adopted as follo ‘Resolved, That it the sense of this meeting that the basls of repre- sentation from the several states to republiean national conventions shall be readjusted as far as possible, so s to equitably provide representation aceording to the republican vote, at the same time providing for a rea- somable minimum representation so that the rights of each state shall be preserved, and that the national com- :a-mn rom Illinois be and is here- requested to use all honorable Weans to bring about the adoption of fules by the republican national com- giittee in harmony with this resolu- Yon® It is wise that this matter should Be taken up now and establish the change which has been so much need- ed and for which Connecticut has com- mitted jtself.

It seems to have been simply concern lest such might be attempted in view of his concerning the tariff and the change of administration, a sort of inside fear of an attempt to dis- credit his party’s plans and thereby cause an unnatural panic. In this re- iation the Springfield Union rightly says: “Mr. Wilsor Is entirely right in con. demning “uraatural” panics, and it is to be hoped he will deprecate mo less strongly fhose influences in his own party which, if pérmitted to have | free rein, will tend to produce a “nat- ural” panic. Frankly speaking, that is the real ground for concern in this co nection. Mr. Wilson ought to use a restraining hand in this respect, and we hope he wil. * * * The man ‘who Invokes his influence to quiet the | fears of the people at a time of need- less distress serves his country well, but it is none the less imperative to scent the causes and conditions that| make for a reversal of prosperity and to be alert to head off mistakes and repair misfortunes that militate agalnst the economic welfare of the nation.” It must be remembered that the democrats are proposing some radical changes in the economic laws of the country and naturally until this is fully settled business s going to pro- ceed cautiously, not in anticipation of a panic for such is to be discoyr- aged most emphatically, but the buy- ers must be governed by such condi- tions and it rests upon Mr. Wilson and his coachers to not only keep down panics, but to show that there is no egitimate cause for anxfety.

Early and united action are neces- sary when it comes to establishing a building code for a city, and the im- portance of such an ordinance needs to be r and the dificulties over- come before great obstacles loom up to block it. Bridgeport is finding that to be the case when the Telegram says: “Onc n a while someone peeps up and says Bridgeport should have d building code. This is encouraging but Bridgeport will never get that code until the interested parties set together in the interest of the city, rather than of themselves. The matter | has been allowed to drag until it has become a standing disgrace. What le true of Bridgeport is true of most every city. Such matters of | vital impartance to a city are thought of for a long time by certain ones, but it is difficult to press them forwarl to action the city. The quicker such a code can be established the less problems will be confronted, the easier it will be to put it in force and main- | tain it a code n the interes of safety, protection, regulari the appearance the business tion of every city. It deserves earne: attention to at least check the irreg- ularities of the past, when conditions perhaps required less attention than those which develop in any growing municipality, and to prevent them in the future. So long as no code exists the building practices of the past will continue, everyone doing as he de- sires, whereeas it is as easy and much better that all should conform to sim- | tlar requirem OUR TRADE WITH RUSSIA. In view of the abrogation of the treaty with Russia which goes into ef- fect the first of the year and the fact that a new one will not be made until the new administration takes up its control of affairs the trade relation between this country and Russia offers an interesting study. How much bus. iness will suffer will depend upon the result obtained in reestablishing treaty relations. In the past decade business with Russia has more than doubled, being for the past vear about 50 mil- lion dollars of which exports to that coutry will amount to about 25 mil- lion and the imports from Russia® will approximate 26 million. Russia is a large buyer of our raw cotton agri- cultural implements and manufactures, while from there we ~secure large quantities of hides, wool, skims, flax and furs. The trade figures of the current year exceed very materially those of any earlier year, especially on the import side, being practically ten million greater, This was due to the imports of hides and skins totalling alone prac. tically 15 million, or nearly double that of last year. As to exports the agricultural implements will show" the | largest increase, amounting to eight | million, while raw cotton will approx- imate six million and the manufactures of iron and steel nmearly that, Euro-| pean and Asiatic Russia being inciud- ed. Much of the Russian imports go through European countries though | Knowledge is the ki THE MAN WEO TALKS tand up for | right.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS (Written specially for The Bulletin.) It was during the week before Christmas that two friends met in one of the. lagge stores of the city and halted to $xchange greetings. One was draped from head to foot in black and showed plainly that ehe was mourning_ some dear one to the ex- clusion of all other thought The oth- in suitable winter costume and evidently in full possession of health and an overflow of happiness, that ex- tended to all ebout her in a radiance of cheerful friendliness. Both were young women, The first, Majorle Al- stead, was so wrapt in her grief at the recent loss of both father and mother, to be Christmas shopping ~wes o the other, Agnes Seamons, every Gift purchased was a delight to herself as much as she hoped it would be to the recipient. She always had said she took as much pleasure in selecting her gifts for others 8s in recelving her She' was saddened at the sight of Marjorie's doleful appearance and wanted greatly to comfort her, if pos- sible. “How preity the Christmas goods are this year!” she exclaimed, “I be- lieve .they were never so attractive. I am near the end of my list, how- and also near the bottom of my purse. 1 generally reach the egd of my purchases only when there i3 no more to spend, I often wish I had more, but I try to remember all whom I can with what I have. Are you gift-hunt- ing?” “Buying a few things only,” replied Marjorie. “I am not in the Christmas mood, T fear,” and she sighed deeply. “But you must not let yourself be sad at Christmas time, you know. Perhaps you would be comforted a 1it- tle to know how happy you could make the season for others” Agmes ven- tured this timidly and was shy of glving advice at any time. Think it over, Majorie dear, and see if you caa- not find some way to make & Merry Christmas, after all. 1 am going to wish you a Merry Christmas, anyway, and hope it may prove so,” and with a kindly smile, she went on her way, “How can 1 be anything:but sad?” thought Marjorie to herself, “when I am so lonely. There is no one in the world for me to care for.” Just then a fragment of chat reach- ed her ear from two Who stood by her side. Said one lady to the other, “Yes, I am buying gifts for my Sunday School class, but there are so many others whom I wan: to help. Only yesterday a case came to my notice that appealed strongly to me ,but I am powerless ‘to help them. I was told of & family of stx children, whose mother died a week £go. They are to be removed soon to a relative in the country, but meantime a neighbor is caring for them. One of them told a little_playmate that they could have no Christmas tree this year, because Mamma had gone to Heaven and could not get one for them. I wish I could get it, but I cannot, so I must not think of it A sudden thought came to Marjorie. lived in the waters under the earth coming from this country and figures|the service of the Master is made |a millibn years, perhaps, before the show that there are important trade| relations involved between the coun- tries, EDITORIAL NOTES. 1 At this season of the year there fs| a dearth places for hiding the | Christmas preseuts.

Doing things in His name is'a motto which should shine in Christian memory all of the time; but it will not shine if things are not done In His name. Leaving His lambs cold and hungry—letting innocense know want and’ dlstress—is what makes the Savior weep. One author who thanked God for the four seasons of the year, called to my mind that all mankind do not know them as we do here in the tem- perate zone. The extremes are the poles and the equator. One long day and a longer night, with eternal ice and snow, has the Eskimo year and 365 days of etherial mildness and heat with now and then a hurricane, or s earthquake form the equatorial y The temperate zone s the region four distinct. seasons, and every Kin of temperature known to man—it the region of lightning changes in matie conditions, and of int | tivity on the part of the peopl is where things are dome and thir are discovered and progress is made. Those who live in the temperate zon do b reason to be thankful for the distinct seas and the larger opportunities for growth and achieve- ment. The duties and the trials of life are such that everybody cannot be happy or merry on Christmas—it is not pos- sible for every one to have a Happy New Year. The salutation is a mise fit in a great many cases; and yet, 1 believe it sounds good to all ears to hear, “A Merry Christmas to you!" ‘I wish you a Happy New Yeari” It these words come welling v from the heart. They certainly do cheer the downcast and the we: Christmas never gets so merry to me that I forget those who are constantly on the verge of want, or are experi encing the weakness and distress of invalidism, or who have memories tmas tree days in the long ago, and whose future reunions must be in the Borderland.

Why shouldn’t she do it? Agnes had set her thinking alresdy, and this chance conversation seemed meant for her. She turned to the two ladies, and, with & murmured word of apolog: terupted their talk. “Pardon me, but 1 overheard what you seid of the chil- dren, whose mother had been recent- ly taken from them. 1 have no claims on my time just now, and I think I want to give those children a Christ- mas treat and tree. Could I do it, do you think?” “Indeed you could, and you are more than kind to offer it. Tl help you all can, and am syre it will be a com- fort to you as well as a pleasure to | them.” Marjorie's face already began to brighten as she interested herself in the matter. Furnished with.the ad- dress of the children, )ie hunted them up, ascertdined their ages, and ar- ranged for them to come to her house on Christmas Eve for the tree, 2nd left a very happy group behind her when she said good-by to them. They evidently’ considered her a veritable Santa Claus, though one of the little oncs gud, “Santa Claus is a man, but he nkst have sent her. Perhaps she in his wife. How short the week seemed to her, as she hurried about making her pre- parations for thel rentertainment, and it was the happlest week she had ex- perienced aince her great grief had come to her. She even caught her- self smiling and bumming a Christ- mas song, as she trimmed up her rooms for the little folk, and set the tree in place. How their eyes glisten- ed with wonder and joy when they beheld the tree lighted for /thefr in- spection. Never was there such a tree, they felt sure, and -never had such a feast of good things fallen to their lot before. Agnes came to help when told of the plan, “for,” said Marjorie, “I should never have thought If it, if you had not said what you did. The credit of it all is yours.” “And it has dome you good” re- sponded Agnes. ‘I.am sure ¥ou will never return to the sadness of a month o> “I hope mot," replied Marjorle. “I did not realize how selfish I was in my sorrow, and I am certain Papa and Mamma would be glad to know-that I am doing this tonight. You see that 1 have lightened my black for the sake of the children, and 1 do not intend to return to the dress I have cast aside.” “How happy the children are!” ex: claimed Agnes, “and what a merry time they are having! I particularly admire that little girl with the flaxen curls.” “They call her Bessie. She is very winsome and merry. If it were pos- sible I think I should like to keep her with me for the entire winter. I mean to ask their father when he comes to take them home. He was quite overwhelmed with gratitude at what I have done and it seems so little to me. But let's seé what the fun is,” as lounder shouts than common came from the group about the tree. “Oh, they have found the boxes of candy concealed in the evergreen at the bage of the tree.” “T'll try them with the Christmas songs,” said Agnes, “and they gathered about the plano as she played one familiar tune after snother, and here the fond father found them when he came. His eyes glistened with grateful tears as he thanked Marjorle for her kindness, but she protested it was a real favor to her to let them come. As they bade -her good-night, each loaded with gifts and goodles, they 'wished her a Merry Christmas, and she smiled, as she said to Agnes after their departure, anks to you, my doar, 1t bids fair W be & Merry Chris: mas, after all” AN IDLER.

He who reads understandingly ths story of the past will give thanks that he lives in the 20th century rather than the first. It was mot a happy or @ bopeful world on which the first Christmas stars shone. Doubtless the poet does not put the case too strongly: On that hard pagan world, disgust And secret loathing fell; Deep weariness and sated lust Made human life a heil. Never had brute force been so en- throned, never had human life been held 8o cheap, or the administration of government been att- 4t n diabolical cruelty. The weak had no rignts (Dat ine HOBE wea. . respect. A large proportion of the pop- ulation groaned under a slavery com- pared to which anything we know, in modern times is mild indeed. A sort of moral poison seems to have infected all_classes -of society. What else could have been expected of an age which elevated & Nero or a Caligu- Ia to the place of regal authority and kept him there! When the gods them- selves were called to abdicate taeir thrones in favor of such as these it was a sorry day for the powers of righteousness. Religion had sunk to a low ebb, with the professional guardians of the sa- cred mysteries winking in derision at thelr own decelts. Family life had lost its sweetness and strength and marriage become so unstable an insti- tution that Romans matrons might reckon the years by the number of their husbands. Soclety dragged out a weary, satiated hopgless existence. As the philosopher Hegel says, “Rome had_broken the world’s heart Then came to men & splendid im- pulse and & new and abounding life. The child in the manger was herald of the era of gladness and of hope. I'ne darkness of the anclent world, if not &t once dispelled ,was pierced with an ever increasing light. After Bethlehem man stood erect and dared to aspire. However one may feel about the Christian church he can hardly fail, if he thinks at all, to feel a positive enthusiasm for the founder of Chris ianity. For Jesus of Nazareth w the best friend our race has known. He was the first great champlon of the rights of man. The leading natfons of antiquity rec- ognized no such thing as a universal human brotherhood. Humanity was split into races, classes and castes shutting out any possibility of unity of thought or experience. Across barriers as high as the great wall of China the nations of men glared at each other in absolute hatred and disgust. On Christmas day as man came into his own. Th worth of the indi- vidual, whether king or captain, child or slave, was geclared in tones that shall never be silenced while the world stands. ———— the image of God. that all are broth- ers, equal in divine birthright, is a Christmas gospel of hope ,only partly realized even in our day it 1 strue, but destined at last to revolutionize every human concern. Only because we live in & world that has been gradually transformed by the spirit of Christ do we fail to ap- preciate how genuine a turning point in human affairs occurred in the solemn midnight centuries ago.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN e T S T T W HOSTILITY TO YOUTH, There are a few human traits that are out-and-out bad. They are naughty, wicked, low, and we ought to be ashamed of them, repent in sackcloth and ashes, and quit. Among these, one in particular I wish to point out. It is the feeling of hostility to youth. It is & sin of elderly persons, natur- ally. It has various degree! times it is merely a dull resentment, sometimes open sneering, sometimes persistent snubbing, often organized offensiveness. I am sure I cannot Imagine why youth should be despised. There is everything In it to admire. Its bump- tiousness, forwardness, self-confidence, even its flippancy are off-givings st least of life and force, and not the mean offensiveness of impotency. The worst thing that can happen & man as he grows old is to fall into & spirit of envy against the younger generation. 1 like that sonorous sentence of Dr. Joohnston, in which he couches Pitt's reply to Walpole: “The atroclous crime of being a young man, which the honorable gentleman has with such spirit and decency charged upon me, I shall neither attempt to palliate or de but content myself with wish- that I may be one of those w! follles may cease with thelr ¥ and not one of that number who are ignorant in spite of experience.” The Irish Players are fo begin this month ‘an engagement in Chicago. 1TTTH DIVIDEND, Office of The Norwich Savin Norwich, Conns, Dec. 14, Ifl!
