AII-suf1cient Connecticut.

The Hartford Courant thus vaunteth
the state, of which it is an ornament
and Shoots the wooden nutmeg: One
can paint pleasant picture of the inhu-
ence of Connecticut in daily home life
It is safe to say that the timbers of the
houses of majority of the people were
hewn with Connecticut axes, that their
doors swing on Connecticut hinges and
lock with Connecticut locks and latches,
that their floors are carpeted with Con-
necticut carpets, and their tables set with
Connecticut cutlery, and their clothes
sewed with Connecticut thread, on Con-
necticut sewing machines. Bnt, while
we look after them in life, in death we
do not neglect them. Give us murder
or a suicide, and it is but small chance
that Connecticut did not have hand in
it, either with it's powder, its cartridge,
its revolver or it's edge tool, and give us
a war and we can furnish the material
for any amount of slaughter. Indeed the
cheap talk about wooden nutmegs may
as well cease now as any time. The fact
is, we make guns and load them and
mean business.

A ErRnZied ESendx

A frightful murder was committed at Ded-
ham, an outlying suburb of Boston, Mass, on
the evening of the 25th. A mill operative
named John Sullivan, IS years of age, went
home IN more or less intoxicated condition.
and began a quarrel with his wife, Bridget, who
was fifteen years his senior. The quarrel grew
rapidly bitter, and in few minutes Sullivan
drew razor, and with one movement severed her
iugular vein and carotid artery, his mad inten-
ton evidently being to completely behead his
victim. Wonderful to relate, however the
poor woman, with extraordinary vitality, al
though thus MORALLY wounded, rushed out of
the room, down stairs, and into the village
street, screaming for help. Sullivan followed.
and most extraordinary race ensued. The
bleeding woman ran to neighbours door. and
was about forcing it open when the murderer
caught up with her, and. Selling her by the
hair, began carving her head with the razor,
which he had carried in his hand all the while.
She broke away and ran, and the horrible pur-
suit continued, some say five minutes. AT
length the woman, her ife-blood drained to its
dregs, staggered on TO her own doorstep, and
there fell dead. When Sullivan was assured
his wife was dead, and before being secured by
the police, he made an attempt to take his own
life by cutting cash in his throat with razor.

ly attended to. and will not prove fatal

BEER DRINKING.

Social economists who have drawn
various differences from the beer-drink-
ing habits of civilized races, says the
New York Times, and moderate temper
ance reformers who have urged an in
crease of beer consumption as sort OF
antidote or substitute for stronger and
more dangerous beverages, will find
much to interest them in the brewery
statistics which an Industrious person of
Vienna has recently completed. His re-
turns cover the whole of Europe, save
the southeast and southwest, and our
own country besides. To Great Britain
he accords the honor of possessing more
breweries than any other country, she
having 26, la of them, while Germany
ranking next, has %, $40; the United
States, 1928; France, 3,100; Belgium,
2,5O9; Austria Hungary, 1927; Holland,
$50, and Russia, 400. Similar compar-
alive results are shown in the figures of
production, Great Britain leading here.
with 100000 hectolitres; Germany
coming next, with $4,000, ZOO, and then
following the United States, with
14,OOO.OOO; Austria-Hungary, with
IL, 100000; Belgium, with 5000, 900;
France, with 1000, 900; and Russia, with
100000 That Russia should produce
nearly half as much beer as France, and
h0vo toeo than onn-soronth
the number of breweries, shows
how large her establishments must be:
we learn, in fact, that they are the largest
IN the world. Denmark ranks next to
her III this respect, and then follow Aus
tria Hungary, the United States, France,
Great Britain and Germany; liz other
words, statistics of production per brew
cry in the order of countries are about
the reverse of those for total production.
But more important than these facts are
the returns OF production per head of
local consumers. Here, the various
countries, if not restored to their first re-
latlons, are very nearly so. Belgium,
instead of Great Britain, heads this list
with Isl itres for each individual in
habitant. But Great Britain is next,
producing 40 itres; Germany next, with
50; then come Denmark, with rs; Hol-
land, with 81; the United States with 80;
Austria Hungary, with 20; France, with
20, and Russia, with 4. No export or
import returns are furnished, else it
would be interesting to see how they
modify the differences concerning home
consumption which one might though
lessly draw from these figures. Ger
many's S3 itres, against the 14O for
Great Britain and the ISL for Belgium.
are anomalous without such returns to
explain them.

by shovelfuls. This is very dishonor-
able, and demands caution on the part of
the buyer; but we may remind the spin
ners of Oldham that it is one Of the old
est and most vulgar kinds of frauds of
which the commercial world is cognizant.
To increase the weight of valuable arti-
Gle by concealing within it some article
of greater weight and less value is one of
the most ancient kind of rascality. The
augmentation of mercury as it was
called, was a FERTILE fraud of the last
century, and the augmentation of silk by
the addition of dye is so familiar in our
own day as to have almost ceased to be a
fraud at all. Everybody knows that a
yard of silk can be dyed to any required
weight, as yard of cotton cloth can be
finished to any extent desired. It is
also fairly known that reel of cotton
warranted to contain SO many yards
does not always contain that measure.
These instances resemble that of
tiewelers's gold,' the proportions
whereof are said to be q golden guinea to
a copper coal-scuttle, and albeit discredit-
able are of the nature of the mild tricks
of the diplomatist who lied always but
deceived nobody The sanding OF
cotton like the sanding of sugar is of
the earliest form of swindling, to be
sought for in the primary strata of ras-
caldom. The noble savage is clever
enough to introduce stones and other
weighty substances into Jumps of gutta-
percha and india rubber. But this pre-
historic method of robbery is hardly
worthy of a smart country, and might
have been disbelieved had it not been
for the manly and straightforward avowal
of the American consul at Manchester. y

The CoWardice of Suicide.

Suicide in the German army has of late
years. been increasing at an alarming ex-
tent and large percentage of the cases
are attributed to disappointment in love.
Some one, in noting this fact and the
difficulty the authorities have in finding
a means to resist the progress of the evil,
says the emperor might profit by study
of leaf from the order book of Napo-
leon. Under the consulate this same
tendency bad revealed itself, and Napo-
leon published the following order dated
1900 to the forces under his command:
"The grenadier Gerdan has killed him
self on account of love affair. In other
respects he was good soldier. This is
the second occurrence of this sort that
has taken place in the last month. The
first consul desires to notify to the guard
in the order of the day-frst, that a SOL
der must learn to subjugate the passions
of grief and melancholy; secondly, that
just as much courage is required to en-
dure soul sufferings with fortitude as to
stand unrnoved in the ranks under the
fire OF battery. To give way unresist-
mgly to sorrow-to destroy ones self to
escape distress of mind is equivalent to
running away from battlefield before
one has been beaten.

THE LIVING TIDE.

So much has been said about the How
of population from the monarchies of
Europe to the broad acres of the Amer
lean republic, that further mention of
the ever-increasing current seems like
supererogation; yet the prospect for the
coming season are SO wide in scope that
the subject forces itself into prominence.
A Berlin correspondent says late adj
vertisement of the Lloyd Company
stated that in the four months then IN
the future, from March to June 80. it
would send out from Bremen to New
and Baltimore not less than 81 steamers
namely, Is in March, IL in April, and
16 each in May and June-that is, more
than one large ship every two days. The
correspondent adds: Suppose that each
of them takes out only 600 steerage
passengers on the average-in my opin-
ion, the number will amount to at least
$50 head per vessel-there will be more
than 40, 900 passengers from one Ger
man port within four months. And
what is still more interesting is the fact
that the passage money for the greater
part of the emigrants has been sent over
by friends and relatives from the United
States to Germany, or that ticket has
been bought by them, which has been
sent over here. 4 similar lively bust
ness is done in Hamburg; and apart from
the smaller towns of Havre, Antwerp,
Rotterdam and Liverpool (the latter as
far as German emigration is concerned),
the German emigration for 1882 may be
set down at 250,000 alone. Our protec-
tionists are quite alarmed. Who will
work for us, who will eat our breadstuffs,
they cry, if small farmers, servants and
mechanics go to America? To help
themselves, they insist upon strong emil
grafton laws; but it will be of no use.
They may hurt Bremen and Hamburg
for short time, but they will further
the shipping interests of Rotterdam,
Antwerp, Havre and Liverpool. This
mighty migration cannot be stopped by
precautionary measures of the police,
the factors creating it being too power

Gerrymander.

Apportionment and Encouragement of
congressional districts bring into fire.
queRt use the term gerrymander. This
is designation invented seventy years
ago. In 1911, for the first time in many
years, the repu blican-democrats of Mas
sachusetts elected governor and both
branches of the general court, and to pre-
serve their power they rearranged the
senatorial districts and made them of ir-
regular shape SO as to give them major
ity In as many as possible. The scheme
met with great opposition, and Elbridge
Gerry, then governor, came in for a
share of the wholesale denunciation of it's
promoters. One district was made of a
line of towns on the westerly and nor
therly sides of Essex County, forming
something like an irregular let

editor, to show what was being done.

towns not included in the peculiar dis

day Gilbert Stuart saw it and and say
ing that it looked like some monstrous an
imal, took a. pencil and with few
strokes indicated uponit head, wings and
claws, SO that the new district looked
like some kind of strange dragon.
"There," he said, that will do for sal

Russell, /" call it Gerry mander p The
election in the spring of 1912 revealed
the efficiency of the scheme, but it Gre
ated such an uproar that gerrymander-
ing was not allowed to stand.

FRAUD IN TRADE.

1t is unfortunate for America that the
weakness OF morals existing the world
over in varying proportions, should crop
out among her citizens in a special
branch of mercantile trade wherein the
eyes of the whole world are particularly
directed. Fraud of all kind should be
considered base crime and speedily
punished, but when the act jeopardizes
the integrity of a nations trade, the per-
petrators should be ferreted out and
made to suffer a double punishment.
The lately reported frauds in the Amer
lean cotton trade have caused quite a
stir In trade circles in Great Britain, and
the American consul at Manchester has
investigated the matter to his sorrow,
Judging from the following from the
London Daily News: "The report from
the American consul at Manchester that
the charges of fraud In the packing of
American cotton are true is frank and
fair enough. Mr.. Shaw has, in the fig
urative language of the far west, ac-
knowledged the corn Lancashire has
long complained that the weight of cot
ton is increased by putting sand
and water into the bales. Hun
dreds of tons of sand are paid
for at the price of cotton every year.
No moderation appears to have been
experienced in this species of fraud for
the sand seems to have been thrown in
