OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES CRISIS.


Apparently the historic old
Democracy is on the eve Of an
other crisis. . One faction of
the party. and that seemingly
the most numerous faction. de.
clares that it will carry a free
silver resolution through the
National Convention next year
and commit the party to that
policy, while the opposing fac
ton, which is less noisy, but is
just as earnest. appears deter
mined to resist that policy by all
the resources az It's command.
even II that resistance obliges it
to support the Republican ticket
AT least a few representative
men Of the latter faction have
mao threats of this sort, and
there is no doubtat all that many
if not tn. majority, of its voters
would take this course. More.
over, this particular faction con.
tains the bulk of the brains and
character of the party.
The outlook. that is TO saw. is
a little gloomy for the Democracy.
but the mao who is acquainted
with the party's history will not

airy. III 1917 % the Democracy
was on the point of dism,egra-
tion because. like Alexander. it
had conquered all the enemies it
had met and no others we're in
sight. 1t did. indeed, split 10

in fighting the seeding section

rather than helped them. 4
much bigger bolt occurred in
1850, which beat the party in
that election and ia many sue
ceeding ones, but this did no.

Still, the situation for the De.

Onr Banking Fnc,li,lrs.

In 1900. the incorporated banks
of the United States had total
capital Of $3.50, 100000. with a
population OF 81, 100000. lii 1870
the capital Of our chartered
banks, National and State. was
SSlo, 100000, while our popula
ton was g., 100000. la the fol
mer period the banking capital
was as ST. - to each inhabitant;
in $500 the rate was S13. -
Within the thirty years. how.
ever, the increase in business
transactions was a very much
higher ratio than that Of popula.
ton; quite probably twofold.
From these facts. one or two con.
illusions must follow; either N
that the growth of banking facil.
tiles has, during this period, been
largely inadequate to the require.
ments of trade: or (2) that the
banks, with a given amount of
capital, are now able to transact
much larger amount of business
than they did formerly.

FOE RErrnR ROADS.

Whatever else the legislature falls to
 do in the hurry and confusion of it's
 last days 1t should not fail to pass the
 well-considered and reasonable bill for
 the improvement of the roads of Con- necticut. That they need improving
 everybody knows, It has been slow | and hard work to arouse the people of | the State to perception of the great advantages of good roads, but public | sentiment is undoubtedly now in favor
 of making a beginning in that direc-
 tion. The bill now before the legisla- ! ture does not provide for any nasty or
 extravagant expenditure of money. It is fair to all concerned. It creates by | the governors appointment a State
 board of three Highway commissioners, one a capable civil engineer, to CO., operate with towns in making good, hard and smooth roads. It provides for paying the three commissioners '$S day and actual expenses while officially employed" or at work the comptroller to furnish them a room in the capitol, where reports, specifications, surveys, estimates, orders, etc., shall be kept and an annual report shall be made The estimates for contracts to be award ed by the selectmen of any town are not to exceed one-half of per cent, of the assessment; and one-third Is to be paid out of the State treasury, one third by the county, and the remaining third by the town; the town to keep the road in repair The commission. thus created, Is to supervise all com tracts, work and eonstruction, whether the road is new one, or an old one improved.
 We do not see how any fault can fairly be found with the provisions of the bill. And it is surely high time that Connecticut should begin to avail herself of the great benefits of good | roads.
