Money Evil in Connecticut Politics

Money Evil in Connecticut Politics.
 The papers representing all political parties and all sections of the common wealth are standing shoulder to shoul- der and working as an irresistible unit to secure the enactment of legislation which will suppress corrupt practices and the improper use of money in Con- necticut politics. In few days a cor rupt practices bill will be drafted. It will be submitted to various persons for criticism and then, after undergoing any needed modification, will be pre- sented to the Legislature. It is believed that measure can be drawn which will incorporate the virtues and avoid the defects of existing corrupt practices legislation. Waterbury Republican.

IT Is ALL ARRANGED.

Comptroller Eckles having been dlned
at the Union League club by the New
York bankers, and having, as the dis
patch states, been given "a very good
idea of what the New York bankers
would like to have the government do
in regard to treasury action and legisla-
ton in the approaching session of con-
gress, we may now consider our finan-
cial difficulties at an end. 1t is sufficient
for the public to understand that, the
terms having been agreed upon. the
matter of detail will all be arranged at
the coming session. Very kind indeed
on the part of these financial potentates
to take these burdens from our
shoulders. Perhaps they will allow us
TO bare our heads and bend our knees
in acknowledgment of this valuable
service. A special vote of thanks is due
the comptroller for assigning the cause
and for having located the origin OF our
difficulties. 1t is due, he says, to the
Operations of Spectators in the ex-
treine west and SOUTH" No little discus
sion has been going on as the cause of
existing troubles, in which the Sherman
act, free silver and single standard
have each borne a part. The opinion
has also prevailed that more or less spec
ulation has been going on in St.
Louis, Chicago, Buffalo, n. Y, and
even in the New York stock
exchange, but now that all doubts have
been removed, we take it that The busted
banks may resume at once, that the
price of wheat will jump with a bound,
to the old figures, that the receivers for
Reading and the whisky trust will step
down and out, and that the hands on
the dial OF the New York Stock eX-
change will rebound with the speed OF
lightning to the highest figures of anti
calamity rates. Our readers will please
all Join in the halleujah chorus.

AMATTER OF FIRST INTEREST.

A few years ago the states west of the
Mississippi river became interested in a
deep water port on the gulf. Conven-
tons were held in several states and the
result was that an appropriation was
made by the government for the Gal
weston barber, and since that the mat
ter has been allowed to drop. Some
thing more than deep water is needed to
turn the vast products of the tributary
country to the gulf. OF the $50, 900
cars Of wheat produced IN Kansas
last year not over per cent.
was shipped via Galveston, y large per
cent of the Kansas wheat is as near, in
point of distance. to Galveston AS it is to
Chicago, and when at Galveston should
be as near Liverpool, in point of freight,
as New York, and yet Chicago is 500
miles from New York.
Under right condition of things Kan
sas grain should be worth as much at
home as it is in Chicago, and it would
be with fully developed port with
adequate shipping facilities. All
this cannot be brought about at
once but it is an end to which we can
work. Our natural market is south and
southeast, and not north and northeast.
Shipping to New York by rail, or by
rail and lake, we have 10 go through
The strongest competitive wheat and
corn sections in this country, and it j..
the same as carrying our Goals to New
Castle.
Unfortunately aS present the roads
running south and southeast have lines
running northeast. and they with their
traffic connections at Chicago are COM
PEELED to cater to the interests of eastern
roads or suffer from determinations
which they pretend to think would IL
Jure them more than the benefit tnev
would derive from carrying our products
to their natural and nearest market.
It is only question of time when
this must be changed, but its solution
can be brought about much earlier than
it will naturally come, by the united
action of the localities interested.

BUY GOLD.

America has it in her power to control
the money markets of the world. Our
credit is unlimited. We ought to buy
gold. We ought TO get into our Golfers
the bulk of the gold OF the world. Then
the nations of the earth would be at our
feet.-Leavenworth Times.
The scheme would unquestionably re-
suit as suggested by the times, if it could
be worked, but there is the rub. What
has the government to buy with? 1t
could issue bonds which would be
readily taken, not only in this country
but by the capitalists of the world, if
the terms of payment-principal and
interest were made satisfactory, but
that would bring only temporary relief
at best, and would result in renewing
and augmenting the distress later on
when payday comes. A good many
favor such policy, but the great mass
of the people who would have the brunt
of the burden to bear are uncomprom-
isingly opposed to it.
