WHATEVER republicans Don Platt of New York has under his thumb, Govern or Morton is not of one of them. He evidently elects to be on the side of reform, and reform means the overthrow of Platt. He is not the menace to good municipal government that Tammany was, but the overthrow of Tammany and the retention of Plattism is only half victory.

KEROSENE is advancing in price, and the assigned reason is under production. A few years since this would have been alarming news, just as 8 predicted de- cline in the whale fishing business would have been in the days of our grandfath- CTS; but it is apparent that the enlight- enment of the world will go on, even if whales and oil plants fail us.
 THE great cost of meats, and the ten- dency to increase this cost, is awakening a feeling that is we'll voiced in an article on page 1st, copied from the Courant. We certainly can produce as good qual- ity of beef in Connecticut as the monopo- lists are giving us and at smaller cost. We have allowed ourselves to drift into the clutches of a great beef syndicate. Can't we wriggle ourselves loose? Per- haps we had better form 'home market club" for protection to Connecticut beef, and set up markets that can defy the western magnates.

Interest is again being awakened in the East Thompson murder case by the wig orous search and investigation prosecuted bs State Attorney Hunter. The snow and ice are now out of the swamps and pond, and both have been carefully searched for the bodies of Rose Storzkenzie and her child, but nothing new was discovered. The next step will be to take up the floor so as to let light into the cellar and ex- plore the walls in every direction, to make sure that the bodies have not been dis posed of in that way.

CHEAP RATES FOR THE At
LANTA EXPOSITION.

The credit for the low rates to the At
lanta Exposition-lower than were given
to the Philadelphia Centennial or the
Worlds Fair at Chieago-is mainly
due to Messrs. Chas. E. Hartman, Gen
eral Agent Of the Western & Atlantic,
and ". A. Turk, General Passenger
Agent Of the Southern Railway. These
gentlemen not only have fine business
sense in thus encouraging big travel over
their ROADS to the Exposition, but they
are animated as we'll by patriotic de-
sire to make this Southern Exposition
great success. We do not know Mr..
Harmon, but we do know that Mr.. Turk
is not only one of the best railroad men
in the country. but also one of the most
patriotic and useful of Southern men.
He never loses an opportunity to advance
the prosperity and reputation Of the
South, and only those who are near him
know how much he does for Southern
progress and Southern development.
"The Atlanta Exposition" said Dr.
Fernow, Chief of the Forestry Division
of the Agricultural Department, while
in Raleigh last week, "will be better
than the Worlds Fair at Chicago last
year. 1t will not be so large, and will
be selected so that only the best samples,
and not great bulk, will be on exhibi
ton"

SCOTLAND COUNTY.

1t is a dangerous thing for any editor
except Dana to try to conjure up fun
out of strange names. Our remarks
about the oratory of Sink Quick, who
eloquently championed the establish
ment of Scotland county, have been re
garded in the light of hostility to the
formation of the new county. Nothing
could have been further from our inten-
ton than to take sides in the controver-
sy.
In Laurinburg township out Of 500
white votes only nine was polled against
the new county, and in the township il
which Gibson Station is situated only
one white man opposed it. The propo
sition is not dead, but will be renewed
by its advocates again at the next Leg
lslature.
