Once the legislature was going. to ad- Journ May 20, if nothing happened to prevent. Something did happen, and it finally adjourned yesterday. The ses- sion was not as long as some sessions have been and it wasn't as short as it ought to have been. On the whole, the performance has been rather feeble, and 1t has been more than feeble in some ways. Especially in the way money hasn't been saved. There has been
 much talk about economy, but the talk has ended in the smoke of burning money. Some good laws have been made and enough bad ones. Private in- terests have been well taken care of. though the lobby hasn't been as con- spicuous and vociferous as it has been in some years.
 There hasn't been much oratory much leading" or much anything that is shiny during the session. The number of legislato who have stuck out" in  the proceedings is small. New Haven has been very fortunate in having MT. Bree to represent her. He has been hard and tactful worker, ready and convincing speaker, and has command ed the respect and confidence of his fel- low members. His efforts have been wise and fruitful. In him New Haven has had a faithful, conscientious and ef- ffcient representative, Had he done naught else but secure us relief from the dust plague his name would be praised, but he has done much more and done it well.

A secretary of commerce would find that he could take upon him self with advantage not only the duties we have specified above, to the extent of thus relieving present officials, but great deal could be taken up and brought forward in the way of trade information, both domestic and foreign, | that would be of great advantage both 1 to producers and to consumers.

England is going to do something which many think ought to be done in this country. It has been decided in England to establish what may be term ed department of commerce, which, while an adjunct of the so-called board of trade will take to itself many of the duties that are now centered in the for eign office; that is, in the future the head of the department of commerce is to receive the reports of the English consuls and to endeavor to use the con- sular service of the government for the

Speaking of President MacLean of the University of Nebraska, who has just been elected to the presidency of the University of Iowa, Des Moincs paper says: The salary fixed for the new president is $6,00O and $250 travelling ex- penses. Illinois pays President Draper $7,0O0 and furnishes him a house heated and lighted. Wisconsin gives President Adams $7,000, with house heated and lighted. Minnesota gave President Nor thrup 1000 twenty years ago. and it was then the highest salary paid in the West. It has now become the lowest among the biz schools, and the Board of Regents raised it to $7,500 because the University of California made President Northrup, an offer of $10,000 to come to Berkeley.

The wife of Lombroeo the distin- guished psychologist, is interested in his field of inquiry. She has been inter- viewing in the Caglairi hospital the fourteen girls who fell twenty-five feet from--or rather with--a balcony when the King and Queen of Italy drove through the city. Some of the girls say they lost consciousness at the moment the balcony gave way, and remembered nothing until they were picked up in the street.s One fancied the procession was turning head over heels instead Of herself Another did not regain con- sciousness for three days when her first question was whether the King had passed yet.

Some of the Russian papers have dis covered and announced to the world the plans which Emperor William of Ger many has for enlarging his empire. Tn 1907, when the new agreement between Austria and Hungary expires, they pre- dict that Germany will be in a position to step in between them and eventually take possession of the territory of both. By that time also they think the sick
 man of Europe will be ready to make his last will and testament, and what can be more likely than that he should play into the hands of his dear friend, Emperor William. They see in the Elm peror's recent visit to the Holy Land the foreshadowing of his dire purpose. Why did William visit the sultan, and why Is he encouraging the emigration of Germans into Asia Minor, if he has not some such sinister object in view?

A RARE INSTANCE.
One Democratic Organ That supports
the President in His Phil
ippine Policy.

There are some democratic newspa-
pers which not only have no syInpa-
thy with the attempts of their anti-ex-
pansionist colleagues to make political
capital out of censure of the admins
tration on account of its policy in the
Philippines, but which emphatically
protest against and denounce such
course. Among such the New York
Times is conspicuous. Itrecognizes the
fact that to attempt to make anti-ex-
pansion campaign issue is colossal
blunder, and is frank enough to say so
without beating about the bush. 1t
points out that the presidents task is
not an easy one, but exerts itself pa
triotically to hold up his hands in a try
ing time, and calls upon him to be not
disheartened by the censure that has
been heaped upon him by inscriptions
representatives of its party.
In leading editorial in the Times the
president is commended for the stand
which he has taken, for the firmness
which he has displayed, for the I'M
swerving course toward the right which
he has held, and he is warned that she
should not be disheartened by these
symptoms of dissatisfaction, he should
not be misled by an inevitable diversity
of opinion"
Such warning is not necessary, and
therefore has no particular value, ex-
cept as gratifying evidence of good
will on the part of a political opponent.
1t is a pleasing proof that there are
vet democrats who take pride in MAX
ing it known to all who read that they
are unwilling to subordinate the well
fare of the nation to seeming advan-
tage to their party. And the Times
goes even further. 1t administers a
direct rebuke to its party and declares
that it has weakened itself by opposing
the administration conduct of the war
and denouncing it's acceptance OF the
responsibilities that came to it as the
result of that war. 1t says:
1.-THE querulous voice and unreasonable
attitude of arti-imperialism do not reflect
the temper of the American people. The
democratic party. discredited and desper-
ate, cropping wildly for an issue, is weaker
now than 1t was three years ago, when Mr.
Mckinley defeated its candidate. The
president has the great mass of the people
at his back. He has with him the strong
leading men of the country. He is armed
for advance"
1t is extremely unlikely that this, or
anything of like nature that the Times
or any other fair and just democratic
paper may say, will turn the dominant
faction of the democracy from its sui
cidal course; but, having made plain
that they are patriotic as well as demo-
cratic, such papers can view their par
tvs defeat when it comes next year
with the equanimity of those who have
nothing for which to reproach them.

New Diseases.

The doctors have discovered a new
disease. They call it the silk petit
coat wrist" and with all kinds of en-
thusiasm are loking for its germ. The
"sillr petticoat wrist" attacks only
young women. 1t IL felt as stiffness
or cramp in the affected part. What
causes it is the habit young women
have of holding up the skirts of their
dresses. Why they do this is not known,
for, though the doctors whom they
consult always ask them why, they
seem unable to give any reason. But
as by an odd coincidence they are in
variably wearing petticoats of silk,
when taken sick that garment has be-
come associated with the name of the
malady. Young women resent this as
ISOLATION, for it Is senseless, they say,
and it serves in manner to reflect on
them, but the doctors answer that no
reflection is intended. Some special
lists hold that there is a subtle kinship
between the silk petticoat wrist" and
the "ankle cold" The latter disease
confines itself to young men. 1t at,
tacks them when, on sitting down, they
thoughtlessly pull up their trousers
very high, forgetful of the fact that
their extremities are thinly clad in low
patent leather shoes and very brilliant

During the past year the pupils of

the principles of municipal govern

liceman. was filed by boys, and for
time the scheme worked admirably. Be
fore long, however, the interest in their
regular studies became absorbed in pol

became unwholesomely exciting, and
the children's parents were bitterly in

disposition of gum, candy and pencils,

children were fast becoming democrat

uance of the experiment, and the school
authorities summarily abandoned it.

A PAINT MANS STORY.

a coat OF red paint, the paint seemed to.

man working with mortar and pestle. /
asked him about the house and most par
ticularly about the paint. He then told me.
that he was an inventor; that ten years,
before he had invented what he called as
bestos paint-a paint that would not burn.
He built house and laid on thick coat.
of his wly-found preparation. Shortly
afterward the interior of the house caught.
fire and burned up entirely, leaving the.
paint standing. After he had cleared away
the debris, he spread a big canvas where
the shingled roof had been and lived COM
fortably inside the four walls of paint for
three years. He then accumulated enough
money to build up the house inside the.
paint again. He did so and nailed the paint
on to secure the interior of the house from
falling down. I have lived in it as YOU
see it ever SINCE he said. How would
