1t seems that there has been enough con-

The limit of haughtiness seems to have
been reached by lady mentioned by the
Richmond Despatch. When she went to a
bankto cash cheque, the teller, who did
not know her, politely informed her that she
must be introduced. Whereupon sheidrew
herself up and said she had no desire to
make the acquaintance Of the teller.

In the hearing before the Interstate CON-
merce committee on Saturday it came out
that prior to the opening of the Canadian
lines 1t had been the policy of the American
trunk lines to deny to the New England
towns and cities Boston point rates, compel
ling such places TO add to the Boston rate
that for local transportation. When the Ca
madam lines onened new avenue of trafic
to New England, some 922 towns and cities
were made Boston points so far as rates were
concerned, such action being compelled by
the competition of the Canadian roads. With
the Canadian roads excluded from our terri
tory in all probability the American trunk
lines would return to their original policy.
and by adding local rates this side OF the
Hudson river, would practically cut off all
the export business of New England ports,
besides largely increasing the cost of prod
ucts from the West fordomestc consump-
ton.

The chances for building the Aroostook
direct line this season are about gone. In a
letter under date of June % the Hon.
George p. Wescott wrote to Aroostook gem
tlemen interested in the project that If the
towns of Aroostook county raised 100000
for the enterprise before July Is he would
agree to begin the work as soon as it could
be put under contract, which should not be
later than September Is. The Aroostook
Republican says that it will be impossible to
comply with Mr.. Wescott's condition.

The great and general public interest man
ifested la the performances of the two bruis-
ers down In Louisiana, one of whom, at
least, Is about as near the beast as the laws
of nature will allow one made in the form
of man to be, Is discouraging enough In one
point of view. From another point, how
ever, there are very encouraging circum-
stances. Sullivan and Kilrain were COM
PEELED by the laws and public sentiment to
seek remote portion OF an extreme South
ern State, and even then there was the very
edifying although laushabe spectacle of the
Governors Of two States calling out the
troops to prevent the fight. There was a
time when John Morrissey was allowed to
thrash Yankee Sullivan in thirty.four rounds
at Boston Four Corners; and the hero Of this
hight became member of Congress. Amer
lean sentiment in this respect was no worse
than English, for at least one popular prize
fighter has sat in Parliament. 1t may be
that John Morrissey made good represen-
tatiye in Congress. He had a wife who
seems to have been woman Of character,
for she educated him and fitted him for the
part which he afterwards played In politics
with success and no especial discredt, at
least. Very likely much worse men than
John Morrlssey have been sent to Congress
from New York city in recent years. The
encouraging feature of modern sentiment is
that men Of sufficient sense to play such a
part in affairs as John Morrissey played, do
go into the prize ring. John l.. Sullivan
has not, unless his reputation bellies him,
sense enough to keep himself even In good
fighting trim without the aid of stronger
minded friends. and it is not too much to
say that hy no chance in any constituency
could he be sent to Congress. II public sent-
ment has not abolished the prize ring it has
reduced 1t to the lowest terms Of decency.

The English farmer is having his usual
hard luck with the weather. The first
months promised well, but no other such
heated, rainless June has been known in
many years. The succession of bad seasons
that has been contcmporaneous with Ameri-

nomenon and paralyzing to the energies OF

THE CASE OF PORTL AND.
TRoSfon Advarfisar

The case Of Portland, as presented by Mr.
Putnam and others OF the delegation, is in.
deed strong one. Under the existing laws,
that city has invested millions of dollars in
local enterprises. III Congress hould wipe
out these enterprises by any unfavorable
legislation toward the Canadian roads, they
would be practically playing into the hands
of the present Tory party of Canada. The
Grand Trunk road, in its endeavor to to Gre
ate vast carrying trade between the United
States and Canada, has tn struggle against
the Mcdonald government II Congress
joins hands with the Canadian Premier, 1t
can. indeed, cripple the international trade,
but to do this merely because such step is
demanded by the trunk lines and the New
York Sun. is a proceeding of such doubtful
policy that the people generally may not APP
prove Of 1t. Certainly the people OF New
England will heartily condemn it. The com
mittee-have already heard testimony enough
to satisfy themselves on that point.
Mr.. Putnam's testimony was received by
the committee with apparently great inter
est, and he was closely questioned as to de-
tails at many points. The witness was per-
fectly at home in the matter, and all present
must have felt that through him New Eng
land interests had been represented in a
manner not to be misunderstood.

The reports of the bureau of statistics of
the treasury department show that the per
capita consumption of liquors in the United
States last year was IA gallons and thirty
one hunderdths OF this amount II gallons
and As one hundredths were malt liquors,
one gallon and % one hundredths distilled
liquors, and 50 one hundredths wines. In
1s40t the per capita consumption OF liquor was
only four gallons and II huhdredths, but our
fathers confined themselves largely to dis
titled liquors, so that tie amount of alcohol
consumed per capita forty years ago was no
doubt larger than it is today Thus in 1910
the per capita consumption of distilled
spirits was two gallons 81 hundredths, while
last year it was only one gallon and % hun
dredths. There has been great change in
the drinking habits of the people, malt
liquors taking the place to very large ex-
tent of distilled.
