It is not surprising that a great deal of interest is felt in the pictures which are to be a feature of the 250th an- niversary Jubilee book—what they are to be and what they are to repre- sent. Portraits of the officers and. chairmen of committees and the guests of the eity will number a score or two and then there will be photographs of the decorated streetss the parade, the performances and objects of spe- clal Interest, it is expected, will maké about 50 pages. Where there are large assemblages of people the pictures will be made large cnough to make the identification of citizens possible. There are [fuite a number of these photographs which will be given a full page. It is the purpose of The Bulletin to make this book so attractive that It will be in prompt demand when it wppears in December for dellvery. The Bulletin' has had submitted to it for examination about 200 photo- graphs already, and expects 1o have others submitted. The letterpress and the illustrations will represent the best part of the an- niversary celebration,” and the book will be prized for its accuracy and value by Norwich pebple everywhete.

The busingss, world has found the peace that it yearned for and those who are now bent upon making the tarift a political issue will find that all the budiness interests of the coun- try are against it. There is no greater jmpediment to business than the re- vision of a tariff—it is necessarily a halt upon industry. The country has not got to wait for the close of the hot season for evi- dences of industrial improvement, for the labor bureaus of the New England states are beginning to show that more employers are calling for help and fewer workers are calling for places, A Boston paper points ont the fact that “the greatest improvement is in the number of persons applying to the offices for work, the number for July, 1909, having been but 3,307, while a year ago it was 4,570, a decrease of 27.64 per cent. On the other hand, appli- cations from employers for help num- bered 1,572 this year, as against 1,333 the previous year, an increase of 17.93 per cent. The number of persons ap- plied for by employers shows a gain of 8.74 per cent., the figures being 1,892 for July, 1909, and 1,740 for July, 1908. “The second largest percentage of improvement is shown in the number of positions offered by employers through the free employment offices, the number having been 3,484 last month, as compared with 2,797 a year 8g0. Another great increase is shown in the number of posiitons actually filled as a result of application to the free employment offices, the figures being 1287 for July, 1908, and 1,497 1909, an increase of 16.32 per cent. These are general condiitons in a1l parts of the state—they are the good promises for the future. The new tariff bill is as satisfac- tory as it is possible to make one, and when business begins to hum, it will be useless for any faction of the repuMlican party to attempt to fool lines of transports on the had to be abandoned cannot compete with the ships of other countries. b Last year James J. Hill announced that no steamer would be built to re- place the one built at Groton on the Thames and lost off Japan to the Great Northern. E. H. Harriman, pres- ident of the Pacific Mail Steamship company, sald the construction of Am- erican merchant vessels was “mere patriotic sentiment” The Spreckels line to Australia and New Zealand was abandoned. Those who do mot believe in gov- ernment subsidies or their effective- ness will find it difficult to brush aside facts like these from Japan: Ten years ago the mercantile ma- rine of Japan was one-half of one per cent. of the world’s total tonnage. To- day it is three per cent. Japan has been generous in voting subsidies. Six years ago the tonnage of Japanese vessels plying between patts of Japan and Viadivostok wag 7,500, of Ger- man vessels, 8,000. ‘Now, the Japan- ese tonnage is 28,145, and the German, 28,000. There can be no question that Ja- pan has found that subsidies for ocean carriers pay. ——————— CENSUS TAKLYG UPON PERMA- WNENT BASIS. The pfeparation for takifg the na- tion.g census is now the most import- at public affair and is exciting in- tense interest all over the country. The president is moving carefully and his determination to obliterate if pos- sobile all politics will find favor with the pebple regardless of party lines. Commenting upon past unreliable methods of taking the census the Bos- ton Transcript sayi “It is a pity that the Massachusetts system of census taking cannot be made applicable to the entire union. While for the country three hundred and thirty supervisors are provided by law, or practically one for each congressional district, Massachusetts, with its fourteen districts, gets along with one supervisor—to a material saving for the government—and, what is still more important, our state's of- fice facilities, headquarters, past rec- ords for comparative purposes, and other well-oiled machinery of census- taking, are all in readiness for the fed- eral enumeration. Although the cen- sus office in Washington has been made permanent, so far as headquar- ters and tabulation plant are concern- ed, only in Massachusetts has the ma- chinery of enumeration also, through agencies of the commonwealth, been Connecticut, like Rhode Island and Massachusetts, will get along with on- ly one supervisor instead of having one for each congressional district, and it is probable that the time will .come when her buredu of statistics will be looked to as are the statistical bureaus of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, as the dependable agent to ac- curately conduct this service for the government. WHY CALLED HOME. The recall of the Chinese minister, Wu Ting-fang, has created an inter- est in the possible cause of this sec- ond withdrawal of him. It is not un- der a cloud that he departs this time; but it is suspected that it is becaus he Is needed at home to meet the Ju- panese diplomats and to conduct for China the Manchurian igsues with Ja- pan, a service for which he is well equipped. It is alleged that “Japan not only has broken her promise to withdraw troops which were left in Manchuria at the close of the war with Russia, but she is accused of pouring new forces' into the resion on the pretence. of their being railroad guards.” China is right in objecting to her territol being used as an armed camp by the Japanese. China has nothing to gain and much to lose in the event of Japan and Russia resuming hostil- ities in the far cast. as they are sure to do some day. The Japanese are not likely to quit Manchuria until China obtains sufficient backing by the other natfons to enable her to support Chinese rights with force, it necessary. Japan should £ conduct herself as to prevent a combination of China and Russia against her. That might be too much, EDITORIAL Chill has decided to build two Dreadnoughts, just to be in_fashion. A fidet of airships might serve her bet- ter. NOTES. Business can no longer be said to be prostrate. It is up and doing, and the head of the industrial parade has started. It is given out that Judge Alton B. Parker does not like the tariff bill. No one expected that it would suit him, or Bryan. The baseball fan is always pleased when he looks at the foot of the list for his favorites and finds them climbing toward the top. Champion Johnsc and Booker ‘Washington have met. They are both glants, Johnson physically, and Wash- ington physically and mentally. Happy thought for today: The fam- ily tree does not appear in the lumber reports, but the rattan, shingle and lath are all mixed up with it. Last Friday was the 13th of August, and the racers on that day made sev- eral new records, which was unlucky for horses that cannot get there. Down in prohibition Maine they can prosecute a liquer seller at the first offence under five indictments and fine him $350.01. O, that fraction of a dollar! A Chicago girl was fined $7.50 for with it. Neither the business of the country mor the people -will approve of it If the troops . In Massachusetts haven't a navy In the fray, they have 'half a dozen balloons from which they can look to sea and from which observations of the enemy may be taken. A western man sued for a divorce from his wife because she wauld not cook him a supper at midnight. He might have waited a minute and com- promised by calling it breakfast. We shall all remember Minister ‘Wu's name, for most of us do it in our tresh and fearless days. A general strike in any city dees ot add to its good -name, or make hugging a motorman. That judge certainly showed' the best of judg- ment, while the girl showed the worst of taste, A Kansas justice has decided that “By Chowder!” is not profanity in the eves of the law.

Y., Aug. 15.—The public sefvice commission, second district, tral New Eugland Railway company for consent to execute a mortgage for $20,000,000 upgn its property and for authorization ‘to issuc bondS upon the security thereof to the amount of $12,- 910,000. The application submitted was the financial organization plan of the New York, New Haven and Hart- erty. Central New England Railroad com- pany has outstanding common_stock preferred stock $3.750,000, 0,000. Of this stock the New York New Haven and Hartford Ralfl- road company owns common $4415,- 595.38, preferred $3,410,376.50, total, $7. The New Haven compan of such stock ically owns and controls the Cen- tral New England company. The Cen- tral New England company has out- standing fnuded and other indebted- ness the principal of which amounts to $12,320.500. Of this indebtedness the New Haven company holds $99, 54,500,000, 9%9.163.29 and third parties $3,331,- Among such indebtedness are certaift generai mortgage income bonds mounting to 0,000 of which the New Haven comp: owns $6,329.125 and other parties $920,876.71. These bonds have been putstaanding ten years and no interest has ever been paid thereon. Another issue of income bonds for which the Central New Eng- land company is liable and which has been outstanding since 1887 and upon which no interest has ever been paid amounts to $1,164,500 of which the New Haven company owns $1.164.000 and other parties $500. It is pro- posed to issue interest bearing bonds bearing 4 per cent in the place of the mcome honds owned by the New Ha- ven company except said company proposed not to exchange ahout $1,000,- 000 of its income bonds for interest bearing bonds at this time. Othar parties have no right under the pro- posed mortgage to exchange their in- come~ bonds for interest bearing bonds. ~Certain of the outstanling bonds which applicant desires to re- fund have paid interest coupons at- tached to them amounting to $403- 283.33. TInterest on these coupons from their due date is claimed to amount to $1%1,377.54. All of these bonds and attached coupons are owned by the New Haven company and the applicant asks authorization to issue its interest bearing bonds for the amount of the uppaid coupons and the interest there. on to the amount of §534,660.37. The proposed mortgage while ostensibly drawn to refund all the outstanding indebtedness of the applicant is so drawn that no bonds can be issued by the trustee to refund outstanding bonds unless such outstanding bonds are presented by either the applicant or the New Haven company. T! means the New Haven company only in practical effect since it whally con- trols the applicant. The amount of bonds owned by others which cannot be rofunced as of right issue $2,331,- 376.71., In making its décision the commis- sion in a Jetailed opinion written by Chairman Stévens held: 1.—That the applicant is not legally indebted for the interest upon the un- paid coupons. 2—Th«t no suffi-jen+ veazon has been shown why unpalid interest should be made a capital obligation of the applicant, 3—That a refunded scheme which erabraces the securities held by only one creditor and that creditor in con- trol (of the applicant through stock ownership cannot be approved. 4.—That under all the circumstances of the case the conversion of the in- come bonds helg by the New Haven company into fixed rate interest bear- ing bonds cannot be aopryed. The last paragraph of the opinion recites that the commission is willing to_consider and approve any reason- able plan for the readjustment of the somewhat complicated financial situa- tion of the applicant, but the one suh- mitted possesses features so peculiar that "approval cannot be extended t. frenzied thinking leads to almost fa- tal conclusions for both parties.

Since the reason for its maintenance is the national defense, the Connecti- cut National guard is an important in- stitution for the work and welfare of which many of us, perhaps, lack proper appreciation. As a matter of military fact, our state force, in common with that of the other states, is considerably superior to the corresponding body in England, the territorial army, for which a single theatrical production and the bogey of German invasion has recently aroused remarkable British enthusiasm.
