TBLEPHOND CALLS. ustness Omce Y\rorial Rooms THE RESUDT. The election has had an unexpect- d result, and what is still more of a rprise is the plurality with which ach republican candidate carried the ity, Alderman Quigley’s vote exceed- ng that of Mr. Halloran by 1,660 and lecting him mayor of the city far e next two years. It was a great publican victory; it was made cer- in by the heavy vote cast in all or e wards and Chairman Klett of the own committee is being highly com- ended for his energetic service in hat was popularly believed in the eginning to be a defeat for the head f the republican ticket. He made o predictions as to figures, but uietly kept at work, expressed con- dence in winning and the result ex- eded his expectations. The Quigley vigtory may be ao- jounted for in various ways. The peo- e evidently came to the conclusion hat he was working in their interest nd the strong opposition manifested nst his candidacy confirmed them this belief. Some of the feeling b him was carrted to the polls, much missionary work was cons cted from the night of the caucus the eve of the eleotion. New voters, desire to keep the party intact for he fall campaign, which was urged & reason for support, and the meral enthusiasm which a radical nlly arouses, all helped to swell Js vote and to give him an unprece- lented victory for the office of hayor. Mr Halloran did not run as rell as was expected in the upper jards, falling behind his ticket - in e sixth, and-the returns suggest t no one voted for the démocratic ominees in these districts except the jyed in the wool party men. The hers voted for Mr. Quigley and is associates on the republican ticket d they undoubtedly had the sup- ort of the independent voters. The issatisfied republicans voted for ffayor Halloran, particularly:in the hird Wward, but the sentiment there ept constantly decreasing and those tho adhered to their decision to the to support the democratic nomi- e were unable to stem the tide of nfluence that was gradually cutting lown the so-called Quigley opposi- ion. There was no progressive party nd“though the republicans them- elves hardly realize it the election f Mr. Quigley has unexpectedly nded to unite the organization and ake it stronger than it has been for ears. 3 The mayor-elect has not used the best of judgment in discussing city af- lairs, although his election suggests lhe opposite, but now that he has fon conservatism may take the lace of radicallsm and with respon- ibility may qome a carefulness in peceh, and action which will enable m to give the city a good adminis- ration. He has had a hard fight and e has won against opposition that emed insurmountable. He must be applauded for that and he now eserves the support of all good citi- ens in his work of directing the Inanagement of the city of New Brit- in and the Herald will be glad to join with him in that effort. NORTHERN WARDS. The Herald has repeatedly called ttention to the increasing republican trength in the fifth ward and has ade the prediction that the ward ould in a short time go republican. t came near it yesterday, and as the ears pass the republican vote there vill increase in strength. The reason or that is the constantly growing for- jgn vote and its tendency to cast its bolitical fortunes with the republican arty. When the city was re-district- d into six wards, the late Mayor Cor- , under whose administration the ork was done, used to say that five he wards were republican and the her wag doubtful. That saying has yet come true but it will seon un- the democracy makes converts the north .end.

S Thé Courant this morning said that the Wilson administration was repu- diated in yesterday's election .An thls city. Nothing could be farther from the facts. The Wilson administration had no more to do with: the result in the local contest than the Mexicq. Some people never get it into their heads that municipal clections have no relationship to state or national questions, that it is usually the man and not the party who is chosen for a city office and that it is all purely a matter of business. The time coming when the name of a is cipal contest; it is being done now in some places and wherever the ques- tion is given any serious considera- tion the verdict is in that direction. The dominant idea is vo completely divorce politics from city manage- ment and when it is done city ex- penses generally will be less and a change in the appointive power will not necessarily mean a change in the subordinates. This will keep efficient men in office and that is what will count in having good work done at a minimum of expense. MELLEN'S CASE NOLLED. The state's attorney for Hartford county and the attorney general of the state report that they are unable to find any evidence that would war- rant them in going to trial on the charge of manslaughter against Charles S. Mellen and they have re- commended that the case be nolled, a recommendation that has been adopt- ed by the court. It has never appeared that this charge could be proven against Mr. Mellen, but there was a feeling that the case should be thoroughly con- sidered with a view of determining whether or not the president of a railroad could be held criminally re- sponsible for the loss of life in a rail- road accident. Similar . cases. have been tried in other states and the verdict was not gullty and now the verdict In this is that there isn’t suf- flolent evidence upon which a prose- cution can be successtully bullt, It would be strange to hold a man responsible for an accident when he had nothing to do with it. If that were the law it would be difficult to get any one to hold these positions of responsibility. The decision in the Mellen case is generally regarded. as a fair and sensible result of a most peculiar. case, WHITMAN IN DOUBT. District Attorney ‘Whitman is not inclined to attach. any importance to. the confession of ““Dago Frank” on the morning of his execution when he said that Lieutenant Becker had nothing to do with the murder of Herman Rosenthal and that it was a gamblers’ quarrel that caused the crime. It i8 being intimated that the confession, as reported, would have no standing in court. What has that to do Wwith the preparation of the case against Becker? The point to be considered, it would seem, is whether “Dago Frank” told the truth and a man who was about to die having had the attention of a clergyman and who professed his belief in God in a hereafter would hardly tell a lie at such a time;, and what he said ought to be considered as tending to show the guilt or in- nocence of another who charged with murder. KEven though the con- fession, so called, may not be ad- missible in a court of law it should make an impression on the man who is preparing to prosecute person for murder. “Dago Frank” said that Harry Val- lon was one of those who fired the shots at Rosenthal, while the dis- trict attorney does not belicve it, and says that Vallen is a coward and would be afraid to do suoh e thing. ‘Which is to be bélleved, the man who made a dving statement or the law- yer who is just guessing at it? Rose of course will deny “Dago Frank's® story, but is he any more deserving of belief than the young fellow Who has paid for his participation in the crime with his life? There is no de- sire to shield Becker if he is guilty but the evidence against him comes from such a peculiar source to excite general belief. is another as not FACTS One's thought does not, perhaps, turn lightly to flles at this somewhat uncertain period, when the weather man may surprise us at any moment, but vigilant and strict science has already reminded us of the necessity of preparing for the anti-fly cam- paign.!

When this feeling of spring gets into the air, isn’t it about time to go into the country and cut a cane? Any kind of cane will do—an alder stalk or wand of hazel. Then climb upon the rail fence, facing the sunshine, and whittle it smooth. If there’s a youngster in the family take him along and make a bark whistle for him or a boat to sall /on the millpond. Down in the old swimming hole under the beech trees at the bend of the creek the chances are that there are fish waiting to bite—chubs and suckers and maybe a few redhorse. It would be a bloomin’ shame not to accommodate 'em with worms so easy to dig. And, though bhony, suckers are not bad eating, while the snow water's in the stream. It you prefer flowers, it's time for arbutus, and pretty soon there'll be wintergreen herfies and the fragrant roots of the sassafras. A nibble of sweetflag, too, mightn’t be bad for the blood—-grandma used to say it was betfer than pills, The sweet young sprouts of pokeberry are as good tu eat as the first tips of cultivated asparagus, and there’'s nothing to the old notion that they're poisonous, But if you're scared of ’em, it won't be long until the flelds will yield tender young leaves of plantain, sourdock and horseradish, which boil up into cellent ‘‘greens.” Whatever your fancy, get doors and close to nature spring is for. about out t's what Duty on Personal Baggage. (Philadelphia Inquirer.) It is to be hoped that the reported intention of the treasury department to permit wider latitude to returning tourists in the matter of personal baggage will prove to have official sanction. Herctofore passengers were permitted to bring only wearing ap- parel or toilet articles for their own use, and persons bringing in a piece of dress goods or a suit length to be the | small matter, but frequently the lit- tle things of life are the most irri- tating. The decision is so sensible that it may prove not to be true. Telephone Impositions. (Wakefleld Item.) Complaints that people having par- ty-line telephones use them to excess !and to the exclusion of others on ex- | the line were recently made before the public service commission. The telephone company expresses doubt that a rule limiting conversation to five minutes could be justly made or enforced, but may take some steps to urge co-operation on the part of such subscribers, Five minutes would be a pretty short period for a business conver- sation of any importance, but some 'ubuses can be correctea by the op- erators, providing they have orders from the company. One family play- ing a phonograph, for instance, for the benefit of a distant friend, whose line is connected with theirs is one form of hoggishness on the part of subscribers. Quite recently a Wake- fleld family on a party line tried for | something like half an hour to use the telephone only to find each time that another subscriber on the line was playing talking-machine records to entertain some friemd., The first- named subscriber was obliged finally to go to a neighbor and report to the chief operator. We heard of another instance re- cently where a telephone subscriber was politely arked if she would hang up the receiver long enough to enable the inquirer to call a doctor, but the request was refused. As a result, a messenger had to be sent for the doc- tor. Hectic Soclal Restlessnese. (Philadelphia. Public Ledger.) The suddenness of the remarriage of George Cornwallls-West to Mrs. { Patrick Campbell, two hours after the | divorce decree obtained by his for- | of uncurbed and made in this country had to pay full | duty. Under the reported new ruling travelers may bring presents for res latives and friends in the form of table linen, gloves, cloth, household goods and the like to the extent of $100, providing the goods are not for sale. All tariff laws aro difficult to exe cute with precision, but as | divagations, long as | ‘| congress in its wisdom has seen fit to make an exemption to the amount ot | $100 for returning Americans the pro- visiong should be construed as liberal- as possible. In the case of persons of moderate means a great part of the pleasure of a trip abroad con- sists in bringing home little presents to friends and relatives, and it seems perfectly sensible that these things should be included in the $100 ex- emption. It may appear to be a )happy sequel. mer wife became absolute, is typical of the celerity with which marriages thought to have been made in heaven are unmade upon earth in these days of “feminism’ rampant, of militant suffragism, of home neglect and ma- terial indifference, of soulmates and trial marriages and other symptoms hectic soclal rest- The travail of civilization through all the centurles at times seems to have resulted in a more selflsh assertion of individual license than ever; it is fortunate that most persons, kept at work to earn their daily bread, have no lelsure for such and no patience with those whose life is that of the ‘“cor- rupt and luxurious idler” contem- plating fresh contraventions of the seventh commandment.

Until : January 24, 1895, when the meteoric parliamentarian died of paralysis at the age of forty-six, it was a_col- laboration of brilliant minds and in- tense ambition and congeniality of tastes that accentuated the sharpness ' of the contrast when Mrs. Cornwallis- West found herself “yoked with an unbeliever in the things to which her radiant, impulsive personality was given. Ingratiating manners, a mill- tary bearing, good looks and a facile tongue she found a poor substitute for the “marriage of true minds” that had been hers; heart-sick, she re- galned her lonely independence and resumed her name impetuously for- feited. Hers is the story not of one woman merely, but of many. On every hand today one observes restless chafing under the restrictions matrimony im- poses, or precipitate entrance into unblest alliances only to suffer wretchedly from the mistake before legal processes retract, though they cannot retrieve it. Apostles of a new soclal freedom find ready disciples among thosq Who, as George Meredith would say, have ‘“not yet rounded Cape Turk” and are heart polygamic. Some married persons maintain the hollow fiction of a union for appearance’s sake. They continue to travel life’s common way together, not because their affections constrain them, but merely to avoid the scandal of a separation. If the habit of di- vorce increases, the day may come when there will be no scandal, nor even polite surprise. It is for earnest men and women everywhere to set their faces sternly against the deg- radation of the highest and holiest of human relationships, that the sweep- ing tide may be stemmed ere it is too late, at Graydon Cowles returned to Mid- don Robinson has also ‘returned to the same college for the summer term.
