A I'fsRSONIL OPINION.

Much was made of remark by
Secretary Long yesterday afternoon. 1t
was used to set the stock market boil
ing, and millions were added to val
ues" in a few, minutes This remark
was that in his personal opinion any
official participation by the Spanish
government in the blowing up Of the
Maine was now practically eliminated
from the situation. Secretary Long af-
forwards explained that his personal
opinion was not in any sense conclu-
sion drawn from new evidence not
made public, either from the court of
inquiry or any officer now concerned
in the inquiry.
1t is not surprising that the secre-
tary has reached this opinion. "Offi-
cial participation" by the Spanish gov
eminent in the terrible affair would
have been such horrible thing that
there is no good reason for thinking
that there was such participation
There isn't much use specializing con-
corning what more Secretary Long
meant, if he meant anything more. He
says he doesn't know what caused the
explosion, and he is therefore just as
wise about 1t as the rest of the people
and no wiser. The rest Of the people
seem to be in the proper frame of mind
now. They are not making baseless
accusations and they are not talking
wildly. They are waiting calmly fol

4 WORLD OF cHANGE.

Bishop John P. Newman is of the
opinion that the world Is in a condition
of greater unrest than at any previous
time "since the crucifxion." And ex-
Senator John j. Ingalls, thinks that we
are even now ION the brink of the most
tremendous explosion that has ever
been known in the worlds history
These are interesting ideas and per-
haps there is something in them. Sim
liar ideas have impressed themselves
on many more or less distinguished
people ever since the world began. Pos
sibly Adam had notion that he WASH
always going to be in the garden of
Eden. This is world of change and 1t
Is quite reasonable to think that a
change is coming. Sometimes the
omens don't pan out as they are ex-
pected to. For instance, when the Mil
lerites got ready to go to glory in their
ascension robes" they didn't go. But
there are tremendous explosions in the
affairs of men and we may be on the
brink Of one of them. If we are not
others will be. AS we can't know any
thing about it there is little for us tc
do except to live c1eanly, eschew sack
and join q Don't Worry club.

"TR.aNsrERs.o

In these days the street railroads of
New Haven give such good service to
their patrons that there is little cause
for complaint, and there is little COM
plant. But there is a growing feeling
that the companies ought to adopt a
system of transfer checks so that pas
sengers could go from one road to an
other without paying twice. Such a
system is in operation in many cities
and is much appreciated by those who
are so situated that it is necessary or
convenient for them to ride on more
than one road. And it is an interest
ing fact that where the transfer system
is in operation the roads do not appear
to suffer financially from it to any i'm
portant extent. There is no indication
that the New Haven street railroad
companies will refuse to adopt the
transfer system when the popular want
is made known to them, and If there
is such a popular want it should be
made known to them. We believe
there is, and we believe that both the
companies and the people would find
profit in transfers" At any rate the
people would and the companies would
find appreciation and praise, which are
worth something.

TAXATION IN DARK AFRICa,

Major Liebert, the imperial governor
Of German East Africa, has issued an
edict imposing a tax on houses and
huts in the colony. According to this
measure, which will come into force
on April 1, domiciles are divided into
two classes for the purposes of taxa
ton. Glass one comprises houses built
of stone on European, Indian or Arab
models, while houses and huts built
after the native style are grouped to-
gether in class two. AS regards class
one, houses in town districts will be
subject to tax of five per cent. of the
rent. UP to one hundred rupees. The
occupants of houses in country dis
tricts, on the other hand, Will pay, ac-
cording to the size of their domiciles,
tax of ten, twenty or thirty rupees
annually. Similarly, native houses and
huts in town districts will be liable, ac-
cording to size, to a tax of twelve or
six rupees, but those in country dis
tricts to tax of three rupees. In the
preamble to the edict it is pointed out
that the object in imposing the tax is
not so much to obtain extensive reve-
nues as ito train up the inhabitants of
the colony as good taxpayers who glad
ly recognize the blessings bestowed
upon them by the German administra-
| ton"
Major Liebert has good idea, but
perhaps the dark Africans will not de-
rive just the lesson from taxation that
he sees in it for them.

The exterior of the fine new Univer-
sity club building, now in course of
erection In New York, is to be adorned
with eighteen fine stone carvings, rep
resenting as many college seals. Each
carving is to cost $780, and will be paid
for by the representatives of each COL
lege in the club. The proportion of the
expense which these representatives
will be called upon to bear will vary
considerably. For instance, Harvard,
which is about 500 strong in the, club,
will get out at the rate of SO man,
whereas there is one small college rep
resented whose loyal alumni in the
club are contemplating a contribution
of $100 apiece.

SHOT A GRAY EAGLE.

A. R. Haist, employed by the William Rogers Manufacturing company, Hart ford, shot large gray eagle a few weeks ago and it was mounted and placed on exhibition in the company's s show window. The eagles spread of wings is feet 8 inches and it weighs F pounds. On the morning the eagle was shot MT. Haist was hunting in the East Hartford meadows, short distance above the bridge. He saw bald eagle with a dead fish, and he tried to get near enough for a good shot The bald eagle did not wait for him and flew away with the fish. While he was ruminating on his luck he saw a bird on an old stump and supposed it was a hawk. He crept upon the bird until he was within 100 yards and got good range with his telescope rifle. The 25- calibre bullet went through the eagle and it flew 300 yards before it sank upon a sand fiat. The bullet did not touch the wings and the feathers were not injured. MT. Haist says he has seen a number of eagles along the river and he thinks they breed in the vicinity of Poquonock.
