The consolldation of the school dls- tricts of Norwich is no new question, and the citisen who as leader achieves sucoess will have created a memorial to his abflity which will not perish. The wisdom and the advantages of this change have been recognized hitherto by some of the ablest men of Norwich and in the past twenty-five vears it has been looked into dy & se- and it has by every committee been abandoned because of acknowledged inabfity to meke an attractive and equitable plan for its consummation. ‘The persistency of those who belleve thoroughly in the change is the one hope for ity guccess. This is the board of trade's third trial with this prob- lsm. The things to be overcome are the pelitical and fnancial ebjeetions, and the pofitica] hindrances are the least. To equalise the debts and to arrange the tax levy satisfactorily is ‘what must dbe done to accomplish this desirable echange. The ablest men in Neorwich have given It up; dut The Bulletln hopes that the committee of the board of trade will this time find the way to bring about this advance step. GETTING A MOVE ON. ‘Waterbury has a hustling way for the protection of her elms which ought | to be ocontagious. When one comes to think of it, it Is a pity that some good things do not become. as contagious as the smallpox, but they are usually slower than cold molasees. Waterbury has already declared war upon the elm tree beotles, and has made & move. The park superintend- ent i to purchase a spraying machine which will be capable of sending the fluld into the topmost stories of the elms, eo that every leat may be cov- | ered with the solution and the advance of the pest retarded, The park superintendent points out | that ideal results cannot be expected unless owners of private property will aid in the crusade. If all the trees under the jurisdiction of the city were attended to but no attention given to those on private lands, no good could be accomplished, for the work of the beetles s s0 Insidious that the war- fare weged egainst them must be general. This 1s moving In good form. The authorities lead In the good work and invite the private citizens to follow a g00d example, While In other citfes the private citizens have led and the suthorities bave protended to follow, sse. The Bulletin likes and commends the Wley _way. THE MAN WITH THE FISHPOLE. The men with the fishpole will be out whipping the brooks for trout just a8 he has been doing hereabouts for two oenturles, but with less and less sbow of success. An open winter is not a precursor of marked success to the trout fisherman becguse the brooks | e teeming with refuse from the hills and the fish find ample food. But the character of the seaszon is Dot accountable for the dearth of fish or the fli-luck of the anglers. As the Hew Haven Palladium very well says “The trouble is not with the fisher- nor is the characteristic shyness of the trout responsible for the poor eatches; 1t is because the trout are Ppeasing—passing because progress and | extended civilizatidn are overwheim- ing them. It iy the same with our game birds, our traliing arbutus the most shy and delicate of our wild flowers, and it was the same with the deer until the law rafsed a restraining bhand before the sportsmen. Now let us strive to save our trout befors it is too late” The price of having things is the care of them; hence this is good and timely advics, Some day a few close years will be given to the frout in the streams to multiply so that the sport may be rehabllitated and the early fisherman will be gble to go out and eatch something besides a cold. ALEXANDER TROUP, FOUNDER. ‘Wednesday marked the 69th anni- versary of the birth of the late Alex- ander Troup, tounder of the New Ha- ven Unlon, and on that day the edi- for of The Union placed at the head of the editorial column: “The New Haven Unlon, founded by Alexander Troup,” In memory of his honorable and honored tather. ‘The Unlon, In memory of the ab- gentee, sald: “Old employes file out glancing aside &t the empty chair and thoe closed desk and with a sigh pass on. A bouquet of flowers placed upon this desk to- day by bis fellow workmen attests far better than any words we can pen great sense of loss all connected with this paper feel “This paper is, after all, Troup’s best monument. finely penned, no shart of marbls, however finaly wrought, noth- ing, in fact, can so fittingly recall to Alexander No eulegy, the one hundred and thirty-| | that no nation would dare quarrel with | to* buy | navy at a ple counter and our naval memory the virtues of this men like the newspaper upon which he so im- mutably left the great impress of his strong character. It is therefore with sorrow and pride that we'inscribe at the top of this column the fitting In- | seripti “Feunded by Alexander Troup,” and there we trust that in- scription shall ever remain, an inspir- | ation to those into whose feeble Hend: but, we hope, honest hearts, his grea burden gnd proud life work has been passed.” The union, in falling to the manage- ment of the worthy son of 2n eminent sire, has lost none of the excellent qualities which made it respected by the fraternity. Young Mr. Troup is doing able work and keeping The Union true to the purpose of its founder. If The Bulletin does not politically agree with The Unlon, it finds it to be a fair and honorable con- temporary. CANNOT MAINTAIN HIS RIGHTS.

The best of evidence that a public pears in the enemies he has made, not because he would make enemies, but | because men of positive natures and | selfish aims cannot abide the public man who stands for law and for right- cousness. | State Highway Commissioner Mac- donald really does not need any de fense from his friends because of the | assaults of his critics. His work ls hig defense and his protection. The ew Haven Leader, in its remarks up- on the eriticisms of the Hartford cor- | respondent of the Springfield Repub- can, says: patient and _fair.

That the state highway commissi er needs subordinate assistants there is no doubt; and the legislature shquld see that he has adequate assistance a work which has called forth Mr acdonald's best energies, and given him international repute as well as Connectient a high place in the galaxy of progressive states. Commissioner Asacdonald should be used right. | BATTLESHIP REPAIRING. The return of Admiral Sperry'’s world-encircling fleet of battleships | ana cruisers and the necessity for an overhauling and the return of g part of the fleet to the Pacifc, has shown that we need a great central plant with big drydocks where quick repairs can be made. In repairing these ships the fieet has had to be reparated and now the ships to be overhauled are distributed as fol- lows: At the New York navy yard there are six of the fleet; at the Bos- ton navy yard there are four; at the Philadelphia yard thers are five; at the Norfolk yard there are three; at the Portsmouth yard there is one. None of the fleet were ordered to the Charleston, Pensacola or New Or- leans yards because they are not equal to the task. The Milwaukee Journal, criticising this state of things, says: “It has been publicly charged .that the dock and repair facilities on the Atlantic coast are no better than they are on the Pacific (i. e. no good at all) and uttetly inadeqtate to meet such an emergency as the arrival of a fleet of crippled ships: “The people of the United States have been paying some hundreds of fllions of dollars for a navy. We anted a navy so big and so powerful us on the seas. And Uncle Sam's purse opened and the gold flowed ‘out such a navy., Now we hear that the senate nava] ring bought the establishment has, therefore, a sort of a minced or custard effect.” There are too many useless navy yards and too much political graft con- nected therewlith. Governor Lilley is silenced but the charges he made wili not down because they were founded upon facts, EDITORIAL NOTES.
