CHAMBER OF COMMERCE..

 for Fog Horn-Address l by MT. Wiman-The Encroaehment l ar, fine Publfc Sch and l CleveIand-Building and Loan AssO- . ciations-Trusts and Monopolies.
 The chamber of commerce met in War ner hall last night. Curtiss F. Evarts of fered g resolution, that the president and secretary be requested to communicate with Senators Platt and Hawley and Con- gressman Wilcox, calling their attention to the need of fog horn at Southwest ledge, and asking their aid in securing the neces- sary appropriations, $12,5O0, as recom- mended by the lighthouse board at the present session of congress.
 MT. Wiman, the speaker of the evening, was introduced by President Barnes. MT. Wiman is felicitous speaker, never at a loss for an illustration from the business affairs of the day; business man talking to business men, his natural poetic tenn perament cast a halo of ideality about the vexing, but ever recurring, problems of our economic development.
 The first question of the hour that he presented for the consideration of his au- dience was the encroachment of the paro- chial schools upon the common schools. The common school system is the basis of the republic. If anything threatens the common school 1t is time for the chamber of commerce of New Haven to watch the trend of affairs in this direction. The Cath olics have their parochial schools; soon they will want taxation for them and that will be the first step to the overthrow of the public school system. It is not, however, my purpose to lessen the respect to the Roman Catholic church It is doubtful if there has been in the worlds history any moro potent power for morality. But that church is arrayed against our doctrine of free opinion. They maintain that the pope and clergy have a l tion of the hour is that of the trusts What we have deemed of 80 much impor- | tance. competition, has in many cases been eliminated from trade. Is not our great prosperity the cause of thiss
 We have produced too much. The greatest trouble in the south to-day is that | she is producing too much cotton. The truth is that competition is the most ex. pensiye luxury that the American people can indulge in. May there not be some I thing better than the old form of com peti l UlOut 4u0 uou0Tu L6uu6uCH CO COnOluA | ton may present solution of the problem l of unrestricted production.
 Another trouble is the land hunger, ,sucl
