department of the Locomotive brotherhood has remarkable history of prudent thrift and sagacious administration. The loeomo- tive iremen number about 12,O00; the engi- neers about 19,O00. They are run on the same lines and principles. There is a broth erhood of brakemen and baggagemen, num- embracing about 1000 members. The lat ter, however, is principally a mutual insur- ance and benefit association.
 In the English annual report of vital sta tistics Dr. William Ogle gives the results of a three years' observation of the death rates of persons engaged in various occupations. Taking the figures 1000 to represent the mortality of all males in England and Wales during the three years, he finds that the com parative mortality among clergymen was 556, gardeners and nurserymen 599 farmers 631, agricultural laborers 701, plumbers and painters 1,202, cutters ,309, musicians 1, ,314, hair dressers ,327, cab and omnibus drivers 1,4s2, chimney sweeps 1.519, innkeepers and liquor dealers 1, ,521 messengers, porters and watchmen 1 ,565, file makers ,667, pot ters 1, TAB, Cornish miners 1,S39; peddlers 1 ,S79, London laborers 2,O2O, hotel servants 22O5. Compared with the clerical, the legal and medical professions fare badly, the min isters' figure being 556, the lawyers SAP and the doctors ,122. The curious fact was de- veloped that among chimney sweeps, whose mortality figure was 1,519, no less than POP died of cancer, while the figure for this dis ease among all males is only 36.
 M. Leroy -Bsaulieu has been sharply calling attention in the Econsmiste Francais to the responsibility towards savings bank dsposi- tors incurred by the French government The treasury takes charge of all the funds of the banks and now guarantees 31s per cent on them. It holds now the enormous sum of $444, 500, ,OOO, all of it of course payable on demand. It is estimated that not over one half of these deposits belong to poor per sons. The other half belongs to shopkeepers in good circumstances, who, in order to g ct over the law limiting deposits to $400 for each person, will often have a book for each member of the family in both the ordi- nary and postal savings banks, and in sav- ings banks in different localities, so that their united claims will sometimes amount to $4, ,0OO 1000 or $6,000 all of which they can call for at any moment, and on all of which they receive higher interest than any other demand loan on equally good security will bring. Attempts have often been made to get this interest reduced, but they have always failed before the fear of offending the working classes in the large towns.

THE HOUSE COMMITTEES.

Speaker Tibbitts has such good knowl- edge of men and of legislative work that it might reasonably have been expected that he would make up his committees with skill He has done so. He has also shown much fairness in this important part of Speakers work. He has given the Democrats the chairmanships of nine committees and equal representation with the Republicans on eight, and has dealt very fairly with those who were more or less entitled to special consideration.
 The Judiciary committee, which is the most important of the committees, is a very strong one: The chairman, Mr. Hoyt, of Greenwich, is an able lawyer, and a good speaker. Among it's members are ex-Judge Hovey, of Norwich, and State Attorney Hammsrsley of Hartford. Mr. Hubbard, of Middletown, who was put forward as the farmers candidate for Speaker, is very properly given place on this committee, as is also William Wallace Lee, of Meriden, who is one of the representatives of organ ized labor. The other members of the com mittee are all well fitted to do good service
 MT. Searles of Thompson is the chairman
 
 one of the most important of the house com mittees MT. Hart of Stamford heads the Insurance committee; Clark, of Haddam, the Committe on Interpretations Mir. Graham of Orange is chairman of the Railroad com mittee; MT. Beach. of Bristol, is at the head of the Committee on State Prison. MT. Shumway, of Killing ly, is chairman of the Committee on Cities and Boroughs. Mr. Hubbard, of Middle town, heads the Committee on Agriculture, and MT. Lee, of Meriden, is chairman of the new Labor committee MT. Lee is Rspub- lican. The other members of this commit tee are as follows: Kehoe DemocraD of New Britain, Chaffes DemocraD of Derby. Raymond Qndependsnt) of Danbury, Bennett (Republican) of Canterbury, Pond (Republi- can) of Plymouth, Watrous Republican, of Chester, McNsrney (DeaocraD of Vernon.
 New Haven county has fared we'll at the hands of Speaker Tibbitts. The chairmen of the following committees are taken from this county: Railroads, Claims, Fisheries, Labor, Banks, New Towns and Probate Dis tricts, Roads and Bridges, Sale of Lands. Representative Pigott, of New Haven, has the chalrmanship of the Committee on Claims and is also member of the Library committee. Representative Stoddard is on ths committees on Constitutional Amend ments and Appropriations.
 Of course everybody will not be satisfied That is impossible. But Speaker Tibbitts has done very we'll.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

''The responsibility for the wholesale emancipation of the negro 8, and for all the ill which that unwise measure entailed upon them and upon the country at large, will for ever rest upon the Republican party" says the Charleston News and Courier. The Re- publican party has always considered that
 responsibility very glorious one.
 The New York Sun says: "By calling att
 tention to the opposition against John A.
 Tibbitts as a Catholic our Hartford corre-
 spondent would seem to have secured his
 of Representatives" The kindly correspon-
 dent referred to by the Sun did not do what
 the Sun says he "would seem" to have done,
 but he did not do MT. Tibbitts any harm.
 The Massachusetts Cremation society has
 been organized at Worcester, with list of
 officers whose names are significant of the
 wealth and intelligence which support this revival of an ancient custom. Immediate steps are to be taken to raise money to build and put in operation crematory similar to those in Pennsylvania, Long Island and Buff falo. Where are the cremationists of New Haven?
 A New York philanthrepist proposes to organize a land company which shall furnish homes to deserving young men in small cot tages costing $2,500 apiece. By a novel plan, in case the tenant dies after the close of year, the property will be deeded to his wife as a home. The company will not lose, because it's plan is the insuring of the young y,oen,o ifs for tba omount of tba m ,oortroro o,, the property ,and if he dies his wife takes the property and the company the insurance.
 John B. Cough, it will he admitted even by prohibitionists, knows something about the temperance question. Here is what he says about the political prohibitionists: The mere harm than good. The prohibitionists had rather attack a prominent Republican any time than a whisky dealer. That shows how deeply interested they are. We will have to adopt ths English style and go strict ly upon the moral suasion doctrine, and leave it out of politics. do not fight man who deals in liquor any more than I do the man who licenses him to sell it, or the society people who put it upon their tables.
 Perhaps no class of workers is better or ganized or more efficiently led than railroad | employees. There are three "brotherhoods'' l connected with the railroad service having | affiliations with similar operatives in Canada | and Mexico. That of the locomotive engi- ! neers embraces nineteen-twentieths of the | craft in the United States. No strike can take place without the consent of the execu- tive board.
