Smoke. Organized in February, it has al

 "I was recently in Japan" says an American, ttand met there several Ameri- can and German doctors who were getting rich by strengthening the slant in the Japanese eye to make it look like the be- loved Caucasian's optic. The Japanese, you know, show traces of their Mongolian origin more plainly in the shape of their eyelids than in the color of their skin, and those who can afford it are ridding them- selves of this unmistakable evidence of their despised ancestry by submitting to 8 simple and comparatively painless surgical operation, which consists in the surgeon slitting the outer rim of the eyelids in a straight line for the barest inanitesimsl part of an inch.

REMARKS FOR TAxPAYERs.

The resolution rejecting any and al bids of nonresident contractors, whict was introduced by Commissioner Atwatel and adopted by the Board of Public Works Wednesday evening, deserves the careful attention of all taxpayers.
 If it is to be the policy of our sagaciout Public Works board to exclude outside competition in sewer construction it will soon mean practically no competition.
 When it is certain that no outside bids will be considered, it will be very simple matter for the half dozen or less New Haven contractors to have an under standing by which the numerous contracts will be divided up between them, and at very profitable prices. the laborers. Contractors, whether resi- dent or nonresident, generally prefer to employ local labor when they can get it. But it will make difference with the tax payers.
 It will certainly result in increasing the cost of the public works. And the bur dens of thousands of taxpayers will be in creased for the benefit of few individu- als.
 However, we suppose the machinery of the Big Four ring must be perfected and strengthened, even if it does tighten the pockets of honest citizens.

UNFAIR AND UNWISE.

We notice with some surprise and 6 good deal of regret the beginning of an effort to set General Merwin aside in the coming campaign. We do not know who or what is behind it or how much it is likely to amount to, if anything. But we have very decided convictions as to the in- justice and unwisdom of any such move. ment from his party General Merwin is the man. Everybody who knows anything about political affairs in this State knows that. His help has always been freely sought and freely given. Two years ago he was selected to lead the Republican forces. He did it with skill and efficiency. He was tower of strength in himself and greatly strengthened the ticket. He brought out big vote. He failed to secure the honor he had fairly won. His course during the complications that have fol- lowed the voting has been most manly and judicious. Because he stood in the front of the battle two years ago, because he was kept out of office by crafty and stub born conspirators, and because he has con- ducted himself like thorough gentleman in politics, he is entitled to fair treatment from the Republicans who were glad to have him as their leader in the last cam paign-a campaign that will not be fairly finished until he is given the office which belongs to him.
 So much for fairness. Now @ word as to the wisdom of renominating him. What other course would be wisea Having called him to lead, and having fought with him against Democratic conspiracy for two long and weary years, is it wise to abandon the fight now by abandoning hims It would neither be decent nor shrewd pol itics. The logic of the situation all leads to him as the only possible candidate. It would be an outrs geous error to take any other, and such an error would certainly take away from the Re- publican party the support of great many voters who would not look upon the political assassination of General Mer- win at this time as either decent or wise On the other hand, his renomination will breed the enthusiasm which always in spires those who fight for justice and the fighting of wrong The Republican voters, and good many of the Democratic voters of Connecticut, know that he has been greatly wronged, and are eager to see that wrong lighted. Failure to give them a chance to right it would be political blum dering of the most foolish kind.
 Perhaps all this doesn't need to be said. But we have been surprised to see that anybody interested in Republican success is apparently willing to see General Mer- win still further wronged and to unwisely abandon that which has been fought for ro 1onO

 Here is something for women who wear birds to think of. It is said that for every bird of the rarer species such as the hum ming bird, the orange and scarlet cock of the rock, the oriole and the king6sher- that is worn on a woman's headgear, at least ten have suffered the death pang; counting in the young who die of starva- tion, the wounded which fly away to drop down and die in the woods or among the reeds, and those which are mutilated and destroyed by the pellets so much as to be unavailable for purposes of decoration. The burdens put upon German industry as the result of the workmen's insur- ance are heavy. In the mining industry i more than 5000, 900 of marks were paid into the sick fund during 1890, 1s,000. .OOO | being contributed by the masters, and the contributions for 1891 are still greater. In 1891 about 6, 800, ,OOO marks were paid into the accident insurance fund. The old age insurance fund required $500, 900 marks, the owner being obliged to pay half. The employers, therefore, have to subscribe more than s5,OOO, 900 for the benefit of the workmen, or SIS head.
 | Railroad employees are overworked in England as we'll as in America. In the official report just issued concerning the death of "guard" who was killed lasl October in a collision on the Midland and | Southwestern railroad some startling facts are brought to light. It appears that this railroad man lost his life because of exhaustion brought on by overwork. This report shows that for eleven days, al least, he had worked from fifteen to twenty three hours out of every twenty. four. The report also shows that the engineer of the wrecked trai n had been on duty for twenty-three hours and forty. eight minutes at the time of the accident, and that the fireman had just gone of duty after almost nineteen hours of con. secutive work.
