In the present condition of rallroad affairs iz New England the public has g0t beyond the point of being sur- so that when the resignation dent C| 5. Miellen of the , and Hartford road was presented and accepted It was taken'as a matter dn line with the course of events which preceded it President Mellen's departure from the road mwans the beginning of a new era im its history. It means a change from that plan in which Mr. Melien may hawe been leader, but in which he was faithfully backed, for the development of Ne zland, to something not yet anpounced. The resignation gives indication of change in policy. If the idea of the past ten years was.to be carrled out Mr. Mellen was the;man to do it. In andonment and reorganization another may inspire some cooperation, w yut the handicapsof the experience in the past few months. Though he retires under Mellen's ability as a railroad man not be questioned. He has done mag- nificent uphill work for the railroad service in New Engfand and the com- mendation of the Interstate Commerce Commission, that the passenger ser- ce was the best in the country and freizht service comparing favorably prised, fire Mr. 1 with other large lines, even though the commission was not friendly to e system, i ateg that there is f hope for improvement in that direction, barring the efforts for ad- ditional safety which are now well underway. The outlining of a new policy and a different attack on the expected in Mel- road’s problems can be the future, unhampered by Mr. len. UP TO THE DEMOCRATS. With all the study which he has given to the value of the manufactur- ing opportunity in Canada, and his statements concerning the reasons for establishing a factory across the bor- der, Governor Foss is going against demoeratic doctrine. Whether con- sciously or not, he has given his par- ty leaders the very opportunity which is needed to demonstrate that it is be- cause of the lack of efficiency, rather than the lack of reciprocity, or the vale of the high protective tariff of Canada, which has caused him to de- cide to move a portion at least of his manufacturing business out of the country Tt was at the outset of the present administration, with tariff for, revenue only being strongly ged, that the announcement wss made that a care- ful investigation would be made of all wage reductions, factory closings and removals which might be attributed to the tariff cut, for the purpose of demonstrating that such establish- ments were not on the proper basis of efficiency, else they could compete with the foreign manufacturers. The tariff bill is in the making. The probabilities are only partially dis- cernable and conditions throughout this part of the country at least show the effect of the uncertainties which have been caused by the proposals. It is time that the democrats began to demonstrate that they are not re- sponsible, i it is possible for them to do so. Today New England’'s repre- sentation In congress is democratic and this section looks to them to pro- test its interests. If manufacturers can be shown how to operate their factories more economically, let's have 1. The Crocker land exploration party fs proceeding despite discouraging drawbacks.

The new regulations for engineers on the New Haven system are pro- mulgated in the interest of greater efficlency in the cab and naturally greater safety to the public, and they are within the bounds of reason. Archdeacon Stuck would like Mt McKinley renamed Denali, an ladian work meaning “the great one but it is well understood in the English lan- guage that McoKinley is synonymous with "8 gxeat-one. subsequent weeks. 1t is in direct op- position to the efforts being under- taken in behalf of a city beautiful. Much expense is attached to sych bills and a considerable saving can be ef- fected through the repetition in their use, or that portion which is not af- fected by the date. The removal is therefore to the financial advantage of the circus but it is an ideal thing for every city to have it done. ' There is nothing worse than a lot of buildings covered with such gaudy posters which continually grow worse with age. The economy of the circus manager offers a sug- gestion to every city, or property own- er where such posters are displayed and that is that whenever circuses are given the privilege of making such display, the bills should be removed after the date of the show. The or- dinary billboards about a city are bad enough without a city carrying through the summer the pictures and adver- tising signs of a long forgotten cir- cus. THAMES NAVAL STATION. 5n view of the trips of naval offi- clals along the Atlantic coast and th: recent visit at the Thames naval s tion for the purpose of inspection, it is but natural that there should be | some concern as to the future of this government property. As it stands at present it Is practically abondoned though it is admirably located to be of much value to the government as a coaling station for the smaller ships and as a school for marines for which $60,000 was recently spent. It is the declared policy of Secre- tary Daniels that it is sheer extrav- agance to let such property go to rack and ruin. He is inclined to occupy naval stations or vards which have been given up in the scheme of con- centration and make use of them in- stead of sanctioning additional con- struction at other points. In connec- tion with the Long Island sound for- tifications the Thames river station s possessed of peculiar advantages. For the government to give it up means the throwing away of its investment there since the provision in the gift lot the property was that it should revert to the owner heirs, if abandoned, while its use as a marine barracks as contemplated when the last outlay was made would be in th interest of economy Too much has been expended there to be thrown away, yet it is time that some use was made of the possession. to WEAKENING FUSION'S STRENGTH | Unusual interest is attached to the New York mayoralty campaign be- cause of the glaring need of better conditions th \d the united opin- ion that such lies in combining against Tammany, for the overthrowing of the intrenchments of that organization. The need of fusion should the receive the strongest support that can be given in placing before the voter the best candidate possible and a d termination of the necessary qualifica- tions can be made from the record of | accomplishments in behalf of just such | improvement as is demanded. It might be unreasonable to suppose that even the best and strongest candidate to lead the forces of fusion, could be de- cided upon without a contest, but in | the interest of subsequent success and the retention of the full benefit of fu- sion, the fewer the candidates for the nomination thé better. The incre; in the number is only inviting greater deflection by splitting the forces which must be held together to succeed. The entrance therefore of John P. Mitchel into the contest for the nom- ination as the fusion candidate again: Whitman and McAneny must be pleas- ing to Tammany. All three are good men, but neither of the other candi- dates has given the demonstration that District Attorney Whitman has that they are conmstituted to accom- plish the needed reforms. The call for Whitman arises from his accomplish- ments in the direction desired and he deserves the united support of an aroused public conscience. EDITORIAL NOTES. According to Col. Mulhail there were many called and but few escaped. It looks as if the democrats were liable to slip up on their own banana i town of Lyme certainly can- neglecting its The not be charged with residents. There are plenty of brown tail moths demanding and defying the swinging of the swatter. The safety razor and the home-s outfit are lowering the cost of living in some cities. Happy thought for today: Time flees when no man pursueth, but it is not so with the moth and the caterpillar. From the way the untruths are leaking out of the Mulhall stories the investigation may vet show up a Dr. Cook. It mak be risky speaking of it, but the present spell of comfortable weath- er is more appreciated at home than at the beaches, Sacrifice and frugality may of course explain why Secretary Bryan was led to adopt the grape juice plank in his | soclal platform. There promises to be plenty of heat in the hot weather campaign which the “pros” and “antis” are conduct- ing over suffrage.

School and church are near by so the younger ildren can be cared for in those ways. Mr. Grandberg needs another cash-boy in his store, and hopes you can spare Edwin for that. He could come in and out on the trolley, you know, and he is old enough to leave school for a time at least. Now, what say you? Are you willing to try the plan for the winter?

I feel as if the favor was en- tirely to us. How soon can you come?” “Very soon,” replied Mrs. Brown. “I should not care to begin another month’s rent here, and can come im- mediately if desired.” So a few days saw them settled ‘in their new home, and found them happy in their strange surroundings. To the children the country was a delight for they knew little of it, and the autumn was not far enough advanced to pre- vent their enjoying the woods and their treasures before winter set in. Barbara carried a sad heart with her, and at every turn missed and mourned the companion she had lost, but fr the children’s sake she tried to be brave and cheerful, and in return found hap- piness for herself. As time went on, affairs brightened for them, and life became easier, but whatever of pros- perity came to her in later life she al- ways remembered the friend in need, who was a friend fndeed.
