Stray Leaves From Reporters Note
Book.
Since the hot weather began there has
been lack of interest among the trout
fishermen. There are very few who are
willing to follow up the rough shores of
the trout brooks in the hot sun for this
prime fish. While there have been
few good strings of fish taken this sea-
son, such results have been the excep-
ton. 1t is the general opinion that the
season as whole has not been as good
as usual. The dry weather prevalent
much of the season., resulting in low
streams and leading the fish to hide
away in the deep holes rather than
course up and down the streams, is &C
countable for much of the poor luck.
The law will be on July l, and so there
are but a few days remaining of trout
fishing for this year. But during the
few remaining days it is not expected
that many fish will be caught in this
neighborhood..
The little tubular savings banks which
won't open until you have dropped fifty
dimes in the slot are causing no end of
trouble for the government. The
stringency in the ten cent coin is caus-
ing great inconvenience to merchants
and others who use a large amount of
cnanSe. Inc mimi at Fhlladelpnla Is
running an extra force stamping out the
little coins, and the product is distri-
buted through the subtreasuries as
rapidly as possible, but SO far this seems
to cultivate the appetite of the voracious
small banks all the more, and the treas
ury department about despairs of ever
finding relief in that direction. 1t was
thought that as soon as one of the small
repositories was filled its contents
would get into circulation, but this ex-
pectation has not been realized. 1t
seems that most persons on completing
the capacity of one of the tubes have
been impelled by an irresistible desire to
fill another one, and SO the thing goes
on.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
Boys Skull Fractured by n Falling
Piece of Timber,

Piece of Timber.
Yesterday afternoon Joseph Fennell,
the 4-year old son of Thomas Fennell,
ship carpenter, employed at McDon-
AIDS shipyard in New London, was
playing under the bow of the schooner
now building there, when a block of
yellow pine fell from the vessel striking
the little fellow on the head. A piece
about two inches in length, an inch
wide and an eighth of an inch thick,
penetrated his skull making a frightful
wound. His skull was fractured and
recovery is hardly possible.
William R. Babcock of Lyme, staff
operator on the double track of the
Shore Line road at Mantle, had a mar
row escape from death the other night
while attempting to cross the track.
The COW catcher of an approaching
train struck him and threw him twenty
feet down an embankment. No bones
We're broken, but his injuries, consisting
of two deep cuts on his left leg, will
keep him in bed for a number of days.
Last Tuesday George B. Thrasher,
aged 81 years, one of the strongest men
peating Arms company, New Haven,
began bleeding at the nose, mouth, ears
and eyes, and his physicians were I'M
able to stop the flow. Early yesterday
morning he died from loss of blood.
Charles Russell, aged about 81 years,
dropped dead yesterday at his boarding
house in Meriden. Medical Examiner
Wilson was called in and found life ex-
tinct. The death certificate states that
the primary cause of death was deform-
ity and the secondary cause gastritis.
Last night the body of Fred Marion,
aged 80, was found in Hollow pond,
Middletown, by boys. Marion is believed
to have committed suicide while suffer
ing from dependency, his wife having
deserted him and her two year old child
last Monday. Marion was a hard work
ing. sober man.

The Wholesale Dealers

Combination in SUGAR provided that
they sell at the same price and get one
quarter of cent profit per pound.
KELLY thought that price too high and
went into the jobbing business, buying
sugar in carloads direct from the refners.
The result is that Kelly has compelled the
wholesalers to adopt his method.
But KELLY can go the. wholesalers one
better. He buys in car lots and has his
sugar delivered direct to Waterbury. The
wholesalers store their sugar in New Ha-
ven or Bridgeport and have to pay two
feight bills and double carriage.
KELLY further says before the city ex-
ponds large sum in the purchase of
parks it would be we'll to secure few
more seats for the green.

IT is a question with some whether
newspapers n campaign speeches make
the most converts in politics. The
weight of evidence strongly points to the
former as the greater factor in educat-
ing the masses of the people. They do
it by impartially presenting the facts as
they come from authorized sources. As
well says the Baltimore American news
is news and facts are facts, and people
are intelligent enough nowadays to
demand both honestly. however much
they may not agree with their individual

OCH HONE! Mr.. MALONE,

Poor Malone! There wal a time when
he was the idol of Virginians; brave,
dashing and full of fire and energy he
commanded the admiration and love of
every true southern heart. He became
intoxicated with well meant adulation
and after the war had ceased and men
settled down into life's m%onotonous rou-
tine Malone missed the stimulant of
hattery and sought in politics what his
old-time comrades upon the battle field
could no longer yield him. Leaving
them all he allied himself to the repub-
lican party and for a season hourished
like a green bay tree. A good soldier
was spoiled when the politician, Ma
hone, was elected United States senator
for Virginia. Drunken with the power
to dispense the federal patronage of his
state he became magisterial in presence
and dictatorial in speech. He was most
cordially hated by his enemies and dis
trusted by his new-found political friends.
The t%ierceness of the former and the
lukewarmness of the latter sent him
into private life where he still remains.
But the little confederate general has
his following, composed principally of
the colored man and brother, and he has
managed to become chairman of the state
republican committee. AS the first Off
Ger of that body he issued a circular urg-
ing the republicans to make no nomina-
tions this year. This cowardly advice
was met upon every hand by indignant
protests from his party and so intense
was the feeling of dissatisfaction that it
was only allayed by a promise upon the
part of leading anti Mahoneites in the
republican party to put a full state ticket
in the field. But here comes the rub.
The Malone faction is the weaker, but
he still claims by virtue of his chairman
ship to control the federal patronage of
his state. This claim embarrasses the
major faction and rel l-founded fears are
entertained that should the hostile atti-
tude of each be maintained the demo-
cratic presidential candidate will have a
walk-over. And what intensities the
difficulties of the situation is the fact
the Mahoneites are for Harrison
while the other faction is proclaiming
from the house-tops.
Or course, no one seriously contends
hat the republican party of Virginia, if
united, could carry the state in a
presidential contest. Harrison came
nearer carrying it than he car again.
5laine can never carry it. Malone has
'%lrtually destroyed whatever chance of
'uccess his party may have mad in vir-
!inia. The leaders know it and have
urned their batteries against him. Billy
is now serving the purposes and
nds of the democratic party.

WHO PAYS THE FREIGHTp

for a clea-cut unanswerable a~rraign.
ment of the tariff robbers the FOLLOWING
from the Courier Journal is a gem:
We will send abroad 25O,OOO,OOO bush.
els of wheat. For it we will receive saw
s25O,OOO,OO0. This will be invested in
clothing, in carpets, in linens, in furni.
ture, in chinaware, in tinware, in hard.
ware, ETC., etc.
When these cargoes reach New York
they are seized by federal officers. They
are weighed and measured and valued
and the owners are compelled to pay in
duties 80 per cent of the value of the
cargoes. This will be a tax of s125.OOO.
600.
In other words, the farmers must send
abroad three bushels of wheat in order
to get in return the exchange value of
two.
Last year the exports of cotton
amounted to 100000 bales. One-third
of the return cargoes were confiscated
under the plea of protection.
or last years cotton crop two-thirds
were exported, one-third was consumed
at home.
1t required all the cotton sold TO
American mills to pay the duties on the
return cargoes taken in exchange for the
100000 bales sold abroad.
Here we have an object lesson illus
trating the injustice and the oppression
of our whole system, so-called.
The farmer, he pays the freight; he
pays the tax; he pays the pensions. To
do this he has to cultivate three acres in
order to have for his own use the prod.
uct of two.
1t is the most %stupendous system of
iniquity and oppression to which any
free people ever submitted, and yet the
farmer who works three days for two
days wages is expected to walk up to
the polls in Pennsylvania, in Ohio and in
the great northwest and vote for Nc
Kinley and protection.
Down with the war tariff!

REPEAT THE LESSON.

Under the above caption the New
York World gives vent to some sterling
advice which will be as appropriate to
Montana voters in 80 as it now is TO
voters in Ohio, New York, Iowa and
Massachusetts:
Last year the people voted down the
republican party with "A unanimity I'M
matched since the federalist party was
voted to death for its treason.
Is there any sound reason why any
man in any state who cast his ballot last
fall in rebuke of republican misconduct
and in protest against republican ten.
denotes should this year vote other than
a democratic ticket:
Last years rcbuke was not hcc,lcd.
The chastiscment brought no rercnt-
ance. The iifty-first congress repealed
none Of the measures of extra yarance
and injustice against which the election
was a protest. On the contrary it went
on to enact other measures of like char
acter. 1t deiied popular sentiment and
Knocked at the popular condemnation of
its course.
1t is necessary to repeat the punish
mcnt and emphasize its meaning. Every
state that went democratic last wear
should give an increased majority on the
same side this year. Every man who
voted last year to rebuke the Billion
Dollar CONGRESSES misdeeds must vote in
the same way this year if the lesson
taught is to be learned.

SUGAR AND TIN.

The tariff was taken off sugar because
we did not make enough of it, and the
tariff was doubled on tin SO that we
could make some of it. There's logic,
We do produce a large amount of purely
American sugar, but there is not a
pound of American tin-plate on the mar
ket and never has been, although it has
been taxed ever since 1S1G--seventy-ive
years. If the tariff on sugar, of which
we make large quantities, was an I'M
justifiable tax on the American people
because we did not make quite enough,
how are we to characterize the tariff on
tin-plate, of which we make none at all:
Does it not follow hat it must be a still
greater and more distinct and unjustif-
able tax on the American people?
Yet, the American consumer must
fork over sl5,OOO,0OO per year tin tax and
about %Sl0,OO0,0O0 for sugar bounty, or
in all, for the fun of seeing

THE st. Paul Globe. commenting upon
the Ohio campaign, says: "As absurd as
it seems, the republicans in Ohio are
really trying to make campaign capital
out of the tin plate tariff. They insist
that it is being demonstrated that the
plate can be produced in this country,
and parade the fact that in most classes
OF tin wares the advance in price has
been less than the added duty. There
need be no hesitancy in conccding both
OF these claims. The duties have been
operative only since last July. and the
importers laid in enormous stocks in adj
vance. The st. Louis congressman
who has figured SO largely in the tariff
business and had nice things packed in
to it for his industrial specialties is
credited with making $4,000 by this all
vance importation of tinplatc. 1t is not
surprising, then, that prices should ad-
vance somewhat slowly. The overstocks
must be worked off first. 1t is a ques-
ton of little time when the full $1,000
600, as based on the yearly imports, will
be added to the cost of the wares. Tin
plate can be made in this country. There
is no question as to that. The point is
that there is no right to take fifteen or
twenty millions out of the pockets of the
people every year to sustain it.
