A SUCCESS ZION,

A correspondent makes the interesting suggestion that it is about time for some of the contemplating carriage manufacturers the making of electrical carriages. Why not, if they are not prohibited from such action by insurmountable obstacles In the shape of patents, etc It Is certain that before long such carriages will bs in con- mon use. The one which is now going about the city of London with the greatest of ease shows what can be done. By @ careful arrangement the working parts are reduced to minimum, leaving the whole interior of the body free for passengers or goods. The sccumulators supplying the motive power are suspended in a special carrier beneath the body of the van, 80 that a recharged set may be substituted In two minutes without in- terfering with the contents of the van. The steering gear, which Is of the greatest importance, Is sad to be satisfactory, the driver having perfect control of the vehi- cle. The van is also lighted by electricity, and Is controlled by single switch, giving six degrees of spesd. An estimate shows that the cost of working van by slsctrioi- ty, equal to two-horse vehicle, including charging, maintenance, etc., Is about four cents per mile. The car runs about thirty miles with each charge.
 New Haven has been and still is great place for carriage making. Can't it catch on to electrical carriage making earlya

FOR BUTTER OR WORSE,

The Supreme court of the United States has been called upon to deal with the oleo- margarine business in case sent to it from Massachusetts, and its decision will be i'm. portant to those in Connecticut who are interested for or against oleomsrgarine, as the same questions involved in this case have arisen here. In the Massachusetts Chicago firm of olsomargarine makers, ths goods being delivered in Massachusetts in the original packages. There was prose- cution and conviction under the Massachu- sstts olsomsrgarins law, and the Chicago firm appealed. Attorney General Pillsbury of Msssschusetts, who appeared for the State, argued that there was no weight in the claim that oleomargarins manu- featuring and selling was practically licensed by the law of congress taxing the article as a source of revenue, and that there was nothing in that law plac- ing the sale beyond reach of the police power of any State, whether in original packages or otherwise. Discussing the further argument that the sale could not be interfered with under the "orisinal package" decision of the United States Supreme court, Mir. Pillsbury contended that this decision properly applied only to liquor sales, bat if 1t were broader, as claimed by the other side, then 1t would reeult in this: That the citizsns of every State in the Union may carry on without let or hindrancs in Iowa or Aassschusstti | . traffic which these States, in the sxsr. oiss of their undoubtsd powers and on the highest grounds of tho public welfare, sbsolutely prohibit to their own cit
 zsns; and conversely the citizens of Iowa or Massachusetts may do ths
 same thing in every other State; and thus
 50 far from the equality of rights and priv
 ilegss which the constitution was intendsi
 to secure, we have in each State the extra
 ordinary spectacle of non residents defyiDi
 with impunity the laws which its own peo
 pie have made for their protection and ar
 bound to obey, and the Constitution of tn
 United States is made to confer in escl
 State upon the citizens of every other Stat greater rights, privileges and immunitie than are possesssd by its own citizens.

AN UNNECESSARY LAW

The New York legislature has thought 1t necessary to pass a bill providing for the punishment of college students who commit crimes. This action was brought about by the recent outrage at Cornell university, and ia a rather striking con- mentary on the higher education. But there was probably law enough before to answer the purpose. Ingenious as the college students of New York are they are hardly ingenious enough to invent new crimes. What is probably most needed in New York, as in some other States, is law to punish those whose duty 1t Ia to enforce the laws against students who commit crimes, and who fail to do their duty in this respect. Some officers of the law seem to have @ very curious theory about crimes committed by stu dents. If, for instance, a student covets e sign and steals 1t, the theft Is not looked upon as is the theft of sign by a young man who is not enjoying the blessings of education. It Ia considered nat ural for students to steal signs, and though the loss to the man who loses the sign Is the came as if the sign-were stolen by Ia mucker," and though the law doesn't rec ognizs different quality in two crimes of the same kind, officers of the law some times do. In the same way brutal breaches of the peace by students are often treated very differently from similar brutal breaches of the peace by "muckers." And drunken students are not often "founa drunk and intoxicated"
 It isn't more law that is needed to deal
 with the disgraceful and criminal acts of
 college students. It is the impartial and thorough enforcement of the existing lave. And little help from the bosses of col leges wouldn't do any harm. If instead of winking at the shameful and illegal misdeeds of those in their jurisdiction
 they would give them to understand that thieves, brawlers and drunksrds are moi
 wanted in institutions of learning, there
 would soon be reform that would amount to something.

THE FIFTH JAPANESE DIET.

Remarkable session-The Anti-
 Foreign movement-The Cabinets
 Efforts 10 stem the Tide-The out
 look.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 This remarkable session, though 1t end ed last December and occupied less than month, has left such variety of political feelings and possible effects that it could hardly have been recorded, with Its bear ings, until some weeks had passed. IL seemed like brilliant and cratic comet with 6 small head, but with an enormous tail that famed out towards foreign nations in way that disclosed little of the old exclusive spirit. The attempt to use the house of representatives In an aRti-fore'gn movement is c sufficient reason for record ing its acts, aud at the game time we can see the strength of the detsrmipation to overthrow the empsror's cabinet and to introduce government by party.
 While 1t does not especially concern for | eigners, the temper of the house was seen i in their first act. A year ago they elected for their president Hoshi Toru, e msn re- garded as every way exceptionally well fitted for the difficult post, and their cleo ton was confirmed by the emperor. Thls year they began by passing q vote of lack of confidence In their president and sus | pending him for one week on the vague | charge that he had demeaned his office by associating immorslly with persons in in- ferior stations. Hoping to gain the empe- TOTS sanction to discipline Mr. Hoshi, they addressed the throne on the subject, but in such vague way that the emperor re- piled by asking what they meant To this inquiry, instead of frankly saying that they wished the smpsror's approval of their vote of lack of confidence In their president, they presented the very odd ex- plantation that they only wished to apollo gizs for having been SO short-sighted as to elect such 6 man as hr. Hoshi ss pfesi- dent. At the expiration of the weeks suspension MT. Hoshi was expected to re- sign, but he boldly resumed his chair as though nothing had happened. This was regarded as an additional insult to the house and he was therefore handed over to the disciplinary committee. Things went from bad to worse until he who, 6 year ago was regarded as one of the ablest lawyers and onsof the most popular states men, was considered as not only unft for his office. but was expelled from the house as unworthy even of membership.
 Then began systematic attacks on the cabinet to force the ministers to resign.
 without doubt the present cabinet con-
 tsins Jspan's ablest statesmen, those who
 brought about with consummsts wisdom
 the restoration, and who hays been the
 inspiring minds of the far-reaching re-
 forms that have put Japan into the list of
 progressive nations. But while the repre-
 sentatives do not object to thsee states
 men personally, they do object to e oabi.
 net appointed solely by the emperor and ) responsible to him alone. They believe the time Is ripe for government by party , and they are determined to gain 1t even by | sheer obstruction So they presented ar address to the throne on official discipline

Even the fondest mother is tempted to risk pneumonia for her darling by firing her young son and heir immediately into the delicious little duck suits already out for youngsters of from three years to ten. They are made in white with short trousers and really military little jacket fastening straight from collar to edge braided in white braid. The jackets are pretty worn open over a linen shirt waist, one made very plain, if you please, that no one may embitter your son's day by squeaking "Fsuntleroy" at him.
