A Plea for the Western Part of the
City.
To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Permit me, an humble citizen, to make
few suggestions as to the interest of the
city of New Haven, in case the New York,
Bridgeport and Eastern railroad company
should see fit to lay the proposed railroad
through the city and establish depot at
or near Whalley avenue, a hearing of
which is to be had on the 2sth inst. 1t is
very strange to me that the aldermen
should pass an order instructing the cor
poration counsel to look out and oppose
any layout that should approach near our
public parks-ss if the interest of the
parks were paramount to all Others Not
that would be in favor of destroying any
of the parks; but would surrender por-
ton of them, if it was necessary, in order
to bring into the city an enterprise which
would add millions to the grand list of tax
able property in the city by developing and
bringing into practical use, now, what
is and has remained dormant for
years. Just because some foolish politicians
have opposed any and all enterprises that
would develop the natural resources of
the western part of the city. The ques-
ton has been asked, why hiss not the
western part of the city improved more
rapidly with its beautiful streets and its
natural elevation, giving it preference
above the eastern portion, where all of
the surroundings are far less desirable.
The question is answered by stating that
politicians and Consolidated railroad men
have opposed each and every effort that
has been made to build up any railroad
scheme that skirted the western part of
the city, OF which would come in com
petition with their roads. The railroad
cares nothing for the interest of the city.
The city must lookout for itself. If the
citizens and taxpayers think it is for their
interest to let railroad cross it
at given point, let it cross,
and not tamper them with so many objec-
tions, az to render it practically useless.
We have important interests on our west
ern line which can be developed in no
other way than to encourage, aid and as
sist in the establishment of an independ-
ent railroad, that will follow along the
West river, at or near it, until it reaches
Westville bridge, thence northerly where
ever the company may see fit to Boston,
| or any other point. With road of this
description West river would be widsned
and deepened and with our tides, would
| allow ali ordinary shipping to reach West
vile, and discharge all cargoes that are al
present discharged at Long wharf. When
West river is improved as l haveintimated
land that can be purchased to-day at $5(
an acre will bring $50 per front foot, and
all of the vacant land now skirting the rivel
and vicinity will be readily sold and occu
pied by mechanics and laborers, and thu
western part of the city will TEEN with ma
chine shops, rolling mills, coal yards ant
manufacturing of all descriptions. Gen
tlemen, don't oppose the railroad enterprise
let it come, and posterity will rise up ant
call you blessed. L. B. HINMAN.

NEW HAVEN, CONN. MONDAY MORNING. APRIL 20 1891.

& Bradford, an Anglo-Belgian worsted-
yarns manufacturing company whose mills
are now running in Belgium, has decided,
in case formal arrangements can be made
with the authorities at Woonsocket, Rhode
Island, to purchase site there and erect q
mill which will employ at least 500 hands
before the first of next October. This
step is taken in order to secure to the firm
some share of the trade they at present
have with this country, and which, under
the operation of the Mckinley bill, they
must either come here to get or lose en-
tirely. This first mill will speedily be fol-
lowed by others in case the company's an
tioipations are realized.
Pay your money and take your choice.
1t cost the Michigan farmers $40, ,000,0 900
to raise their crops of corn, wheat and oats
last year, according to the report of the
State bureau of statistics, and they obtain
ed only $31 ,373, 900 for the same. The
cost, however, includes an allowance of z
per cent on the estimated value of the
land Statistician Dodge of the federal
department of agriculture, on the other
hand, places the value of the same crops
at 1857, 900. By one authority the
farmers lost 50, ,000, 600 after pocketing 2
per cent on their land investment; and by
the other they gained over $4,000, 900
above the per cent. return, if the State
figures as to cost are taken.

NEW HAmPSHIRE,s FORESTS.

1t is encouraging to see any attention
paid to the preservation of forests in this
country. The Forestry commission of
New Hampshire has made very thorough
examination of the condition of the forests
of that State. 1t finds that the ruin of
New Hampshire's forest-clad hills, of her
rivers and of the fertile lands of her val
veys is in progress; and that if nothing in
terferes to arrest or prevent it, it is certain
to be accomplished in time. Destructive
fires have denuded large areas of the
White mountains, and the lumberman's
axe is steadily, if not rapidly, despoiling
the scenery of the northern section of the
State. More than half of the entire state
is in forest, and the forestry interest is
the most extensive if not the most valu-
able in the commonwealth. The entertain
ment of summer visitors, which is depen-
dent on pure air and attractive scenery
has become an important industry, yield
ing to the State an annual revenue of
$5 10000 The commissioners fully rec
ognize the Importance of forest preserva-
ton, but are not inclined to suggest dras-
tic measures. They do not think that it is
feasible for the State to acquire, by the
exercise of the right of eminent domain,
tracts of mountain forest so large as to be
measured by townships rather than by
acres. But they are of opinion that the
State should purchase carefully selected
| and small sections of the mountain region.
! Another valuable suggestion is that the
statute penalties for the careless or willful
firing of forests be increased, and that
fire wardens be appointed in the noun.
tain towns. The final recommendation il
| for the establishment of commission OF
| forests.
This is a good start 1t is to be hoped
that the wise recommendations of the com
missioners will be needed.

Ii.
The committee on British and foreign |
spirits, of which Sir Lyon Playfair is |
chairman, has been dealing with the ques- |
ton of ether-drinking in Ireland. NJ. |
Carter, D. D., the Protestant rector of
Cookstown, was the first witness. In ex-
animation by the chairman he stated that
the practice of ether-drinking had pre-
vailed in his district, which comprised an
area of nearly forty square miles, for
about thirty years. The people preferred
ether to whiskey, because it was cheaper
and more effective They first of all took
q small quantity of water, then a modi-
cum of ether, holding their noses while
they drank it, and then they drank water
afterwards. They did not take it by inha-
lation, but by actual drinking. An ordi-
nary dose was about -pennyworth,
which would be nearly half glass, and
intoxication would be produced by that al
most Immediately. 1t aroused combative
instincts and also produced high state of
exhilaration, accompanied by shouting and
singing and the use of provocative words.

of ether at ten o'clock, another at one

that would keep them in a state of intoxi-

their pockets and exchanged it with the
country people for eggs. The children
were SO much accustomed to it that they
, were not repelled by its unpleasant taste.
, They frequently came to school smelling
, of ether, and it was found that they got it
in the way described. In his district
| ether-drinking was not rarity, but a COM
! mon practice, and it was on the increase.
The ether was sold now more by grocers
: than by chemists, who were deferred to
, some extent by the sale of poisons act.
= The practice of ether-drinking might be

the act. It was not true to say that the
practice of ether drinking prevailed most

HARD TO KEEP OUT.

Ansillustration of the difficulty of deal
ing with undesirable immigration is found
in the fact that the British steamer Oregon
landed the other day but fifteen of her five
hundred passengers at Portland, Maine,
having left the remainder at Halifax. The
unwillingness of the steamship managers
to submit their passengers to the inspection
of the United States officers at Portland
and their eagerness to avoid the risk of
having to carry back at their own expense
some of their human cargo must mean that
they are knowingly bringing over consid-
cradle numbers of undesirable foreigners.
1t has long been suspected, or known,
that undesirable immigrants came into
this country from Canada. They have
never been stopped and it is not
probable that they ever will be.
Under the old law, indeedywe did not
even make much attempt in that direction;
and it is feared that any attempts we can
make under the new law will prove inef-
fective. The statute does not provide, it
is true, that the secretary of the treasury
may prescribe rules for the inspection of
immigrants along both the Canadian and
the Mexican frontiers. But it specifies
that the inspection shall be such as "not
to obstruct or unnecessarily delay, impede
or annoy passengers in ordinary travel"
and it provides that mot exceeding one
inspector shall be appointed for each Gus
toms district"

but to annex Canada and Mexico and then
