Sound Common Sense.


 The Connecticut legislature has had great honor reflected on it by one of it's commit tees. The Housatonic railroad applied to the legislature for an act enabling it to parallel the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad into New York, and it's application was duly referred to the committee on rail- roads. That committee has just made it's re- port, and 1t is model of common sense and sagacity.
 The committee holds that paralleling a railroad which possesses ability to do all the business the public has to offer it, and which transacts that business at the lowest prevail ing rates, is bad thing. It maintains that the ultimate result is commonly to compel the public to support two roads instead of one, and that the competition that proceeds consolidation is ruinous to vested inter ests and disastrous to all private and public enterprises, directly or indirectly af- fected. It cites the historical examples of the lamented Nickel Plate and West Shore, and it concludes by sitting down on the Housatonic project a little harder than we have ever seen railroad sat down on by any body but Judge Gresham.
 We salute the Railroad Committee of the Connecticut Legislature. It possesses our respect and confidence, and if in critical times we had had such judgment in this State as it has applied in Connecticut our great railroad properties would be one hun dred millions of dollars better off to-day, and the general business of the city and State would not have undergone the convul-. sive disturbances that have troubled it in the last ten years.

John Bright in Society.

In the society of London MT. Bright was unique figure. Needless to say he never was a man of fashion. There was long period during which the world of fashion held aloof from him. It ended before he became a cabinet minister and privy councillor. The Tribune of his people, some of his friends used to call him. had ceased to be thought dangerous by the classes. He was asked off, ten to all sorts of houses and to all sorts of entertainments. While breakfasts were the fashion he went to breakfasts. I think your friend, Joseph Choate, of New York, will re- member meeting him ar breakfast and walk ing home with him across Hyde park. MT. Bright, know, remembered MT. Choate and asked about him more than once afterWard; he was charmed with the Americans manner and talk, and quite forgave him for being @ great lawyer. Lawyers, great or little, were not, as Q rule, favorites with him. He was not often, think, to be seen at parties, but dined out rather frequently. His curiosity about the great world came late in life, but it came. He had curious exactitude, and when he was asked to dinner-as years ago was the custem-for quarter to eight, used to arrive at quarter to eight, while his hos tess was putting the last touches to her toi- let. His habit had this advantage, that he could hear the names of the guests as they were announced at the door of the drawing room. If he did not hear, or if anyone came in whom he did not know, he used to interrogate the friend nearest him. eagerly,
 'Who is that!" And if he failed to recog- nize the name, "Who is she? Tell me some- thing about her." To mere conventienalities he paid but scsnt respect. It was his habit to wesr black velvet waistcoat long after other people had ceased to wear them. I cannot remember ever to have seen one in London except his. It did not matter what he wore. There was no truer gentleman in the company-a phrase which is detestable, but has meaning not easy to express brief ly otherwise. There was no courtlier per sonage than this Quaker; none whose man ners were more perfect.

Glove the Giver.,s


 An eminent jurist, whose name would be recognized by every member of the bar in Chicago, is being quietly laughed at just now by the members of his immediate family. Recently his wife has had good deal of trouble with her cook-a big, hearty girl, who finds scrubbing and washing child's play, but whose natural clumsiness has broken half of the dishes in the pantry. Finally her mistress told her one day that if she broke anything else she should compel her to replace 1t out of her own money, thinking that this might make the girl more careful. She did try very hard to be gentle with the orockery, but one fateful morning, while laying the breakfast dishes, she broke the judges pet moustache cup. It was cup of fine Sevres china, and he prized it highly, invariably drinking his coffee from it. The poor girl was broken hearted, but she said not word. In the afternoon she asked per nilsson to go out, and she went down to one of the big department stores, where she purchased the largest and grandest nous tache cup they had in stock. She sprung this on the unsuspecting judge at breakfast the next morning, and he was astounded. Printed on one side of the cup in glarino letters of gilt was the inscription, Glove the Giver." The laugh was on "his honor," and \ 'sthe giver" was forgiven. She had made an unconscious hit.

A LIVELY CONTEST.

 As lively a campaign as Massachusetts has seen for many day is going on over the proposed prohibiting amendment. One of the amusing incidents is that canvass of the members of the legislature indicates that considerable majority of them will vote against the prohibitory amendment, though one hundred and ninety of the two hundred and eighty senators and representatives voted for the resolve submitting it to the people. Certain prohibitory amendment
 politicians have been loudly proclaiming that
 every Republican who will not vote for the
 amendment is 8 marked man and has ended
 his political career.
 Clergymen are taking very active part
 in the contest. More than eighty of various religious faiths have signed the following protest:
 The undersigned clergymen of Massachu- setts, while strongly advocating temperance among our people, and all appropriate and effective means to promote it, believe that the adoption of the proposed amendment to the constitution, prohibiting the sale of in- toxicating liquor, would not accomplish it's intended purpose. The adoption of the amendment repeals all high license and local option legislation, and takes the re- gulation of the sale or manufacture of liquor wholly from the legislature, and makes such
 regulation wholly dependent upon the power to enforce absolute general prohibition throughout the commonwealth.
 Prohibition is effective only where the local sentiment will enforce it. and where the local sentiment enforces it, it exists under our present law. To exchange the ''no ieense," and where the vote is for li- cense to regulate the license under the re- strictive acts of the legislature, for the chance of enforcing absolute prohibition everywhere in the commonwealth, irre- spective of the local sentiment, is. in our opinion, more likely to result in greater freedom than in greater restriction in the ! sale and use of intoxicating liquor. Among the signers of this protest are Andrew P. Peabody and Francis G. Pea
 body, of Cambridge, Rabbi Solomon Schind- Ter, Edward A. Horton and William c. Winslow of Boston, Edward H. Hall of Cam \ bridge, Austin s. Carver, Alexander H. Vinton, Arthur w. Hess, Francis G. Bur- | gess, Langdon 0. Stewardson, and George | s. Paine of Worcester. Besides these quite ! a number of prominent clergymen have de- l clared themselves opposed to the amendment, among these being Phillips Brooks, o. A. ! Bartol and Henry N. Dexter of Boston and T. J. Conaty of Worcester. The Episcopal ! bishops of the dioceses of Maine, Rhode
 Island and Iowa have expressed their I opinion that prohibition is failure in those States.
 All these worthy preachers are called | ''chaplains of the saloon" by those who do not like their action. This indicates that the Massachusetts prohibitionists would pros hibit free thought and free speech as much as free rum if they could.
