100000 pounds have been picked. dried. and packed in New York alone No commodity is of more uncertain value than hops. During the present season they have been offered in large quantities as low as 10 cents a pound which is less than the cost of prepar. ing them for market. Last year they sold for 2i cents pound They reached the highest price ever quoted twelve years ago. when they were si.i5 q pound Some spectators refused to part with their holdings during the regular season. and were obliged 10 throw them on the market the follow Ing spring for cents pound. The home consumption of hops. which are used ulmest entirely In the making of beer. is very large. often exhausting the American product and compelling iinrorta;Ions. In some years. the crops In England and Germany being light tho foreign brewers make heavy drafts cn The United Stnrsa and the New York grower has nothing to complain Of on the score .'

We do not wish 10 deprive the good people of any part of this town of any thing that may give them pleasure or solace, or to ask for more than our share of anything that Is going. But if there are any whistlers In town who can be spared from their own neigh borhoods it would please us if they would be so kind and consIderate as to walk back and forth before 400 State street whistling Liberty Bell" Wo want to learn that soul-stirring march and we think that after we have heard 1t times enough we may know it. It is splendid production, and those who have so patiently and per sistently filled State street with it have encouraged us to hope that we too can learn it. It is our desire that all the whistlers in town who are not needed elsewhere may make a concerted effort for our benefit. We will try not to impose too much on their good nature, and if after a few more weeks of example and instruction We find we can- not learn "Liberty Bell' we will say so and gratefully release them from further effort.

WILL HE FISH OVER THERE?

Mir. Moses Katzenberger, of Memphis. has raised a curious question. MT. Katzenberger is dead. When he was alive he was president of bank and very rich man. He was also an ard ent fisherman. When he could get a day off he found great pleasure In try ing 10 fool fish into taking his bait, and he could tell as many and as bis Hes as any of the fishermen of his region. When he died the other day he left will bequeathing large sums Of money | to relatives and benevolent institutions. And his will contains the following par agraph: Should there be boy born to either of my sisters-in-law, Cora and LiZzie-and I hope there will be-then such male issue is to take share and share alike all my fishing rods and tackle, except line and few hooks, to be buried with me. in order if there Is any fishing in the other world will be provided with tackle to enjoy the sport, which has afforded me much de- light in the present mode of existence.
 Will there be any fishing In the next world? There are many like MT. Kat zenberger to whom heaven will hardly be heaven unless they can go a-iishing. We do not find anything in the bible that gives much light on this question. It doesn't look probable that there are fishes in sea of glass. Peter "saw heaven opened and certain vessel de- scending unto him as it had been @ great sheet knit at the four corners and let down to the earth wherein were all manner of four-footed beasts of the earth and wild beasts and creeping things and fowls of the air." But no fish. There Is, however. encouragement for fishermen In that remarkable book Gates Ajar," which teaches that those who go to heaven will have what they want. If this is true, and If Mir. Kat zenberger goes to heaven he will have happy days. Good luck to him wher- ever he goes, for though he was a very rich man and a bank president, he | liked to angle. And as Izaak Walton said: "We may say of angling as Dr. Boteler said of strawberries: Doubtless God could have made A hettar herrv
 but doubtless God never did, and so if I might be judge, God never did make more calm, quiet, innocent rec reation than angling"

MELANCHOLY MIRTH,

AS the small boy hypocritically whistles while passing by the graveyard so the Register chortles in assumed glee while passing through the valley of political humiliation. And the Reg ister's mirth is as melancholy and in- appropriate as the boys whistling. The Register affects to see nothing in the spontaneous and hearty appeal to Mir.
 Sperry to become candidate for seat in Congress but the ingenious
 machinations of few petty politicians.
 And it laughs at the central idea of the campaign very much as a certain
 French queen Is said to have laughed at an idea which her hungry subjects had in their despairing minds. The truth is, as the Register very we'll knows, that greasy mechanics" and real supporters of MT. Sperrys candi- dacy. It knows that the men who work in New Haven's shops eagerly signed the petition asking him to run. It knows that they signed it out of sim cere respect and admiration for a man who, though he may not now be ex- actly "horny-handed son of toll" has still on his hands the marks of toll and in his mind and heart the lessons taught by honest manual labor.
 And the Register gleefully sneers at the report that MT. Sperry was moved even to tears at the sight of the peti- tions brought to him all greasy and stained from the hands of men who left their work for minute to sign them. Shame on the Register for this sheer! Ras the Register reached such a height or depth of hypocritical cul- ture that it has lost the power of honest feeling in itself or the power to appreciate it in others? We say that the sight of those dirty but honest petitions might we'll move MT. Sperry to tears. They showed to him that the true heart of the people was with him, and they did him boundless honor. He would have been a much colder man than he is if he had not been moved by them. They were eloquent of labor and sorrow, of despair and hope, of all that makes up the life of man. The Register can't see anything in them. MT. Sperry could, and so can others who haven't got entirely away from the real life of the people.
 And the Register mirthfully sneers at the "bread and butter campaign" The Register. by the exercise of arts and the favor of the simple. is able to get what bread and butter it wants, With its own pantry fairly well filled 1t doesn't seem to realize that there are many In New Haven whose pantries arc not well filled, and who are looking forward to winter that will not be very gleeful. These people know that the policy which the Register so cheer fully advocates is responsible for much of their woe. They are eager to express their detestation of'the policy which has brought them so much trouble. They know that a vote for MT. sperry is a vote for bread and butter. They know that if enough men who believe in what MT. sperry believes in can be elected to congress they will be good deal sur CT of bread and butter than they have been. They mean to do all they can for the bread and butter idea by voting for him. It Is the only way in which they can express themselves and they are going to take advantage Of it.
 It is all right for the Register to

Emperor Williams action in reducing the term of obligatory service in the German army from three to two years has had the unexpected effect of dimin- ishing not only the number of suicides, but also the average of disciplinary punishments inflicted. Investigation has shown that most of the suicides used to take place in the third year of service with the colors. and that nearly all of the more serious offences against the regulations were committed by third-year men.
