what Ratification ofthe Treaty has Not
and Has Done.

From the II lrtford Courant,l
In view of the persistent daily misrepre-
sensations on the subject mlsrepresenta-
tions due to sheer ignorance in some cases
but in others smacking most unpleasantly
of deliberate dishonesty-we again assure
the people of Connecticut that thu ratifi-
cation of the treaty has not "annex ed" the
Philippines to the United States 1t has
not in the least tied us up to any policy OF
Philippine annexation in any future
near or remote. 1t has not conferred
American citizenship upon the natives OF
those islands, nor left us under any politl-
cal or moral obligation to give 1t TO them
hereafter. Neither has it conferred upon
them any new right to swarm into TINS
country by the hundred thousand--disre-
garding such trivial obstacles as distance
and climate-and beat down wages in the
American labor market, nor yet to pour in
their products through our custom houses
free Of duty. In all these respects the sit
uation is precisely what 1t was week
ago.
We have promised before the world to
give the Cubans honest help and guidance
along the road of self-government and in
dependence. That promise 1t concerns
our national honor to keep sacredly. If
years hence-they voluntarily seek closer
connection with the United States, new
question will present itself. We need not
anticipate it now; Sufficient unto the day
is the evil thereof" With regard to the
political future of Porto Rico and the
Philippines the treaty leaves us with free
hands. We can take all the time we want
for study, experiment, reflection and de-
cision. Meanwhile we have covenanted
with Spain-and, tacitly, with the world
to restore and maintain order in these is
lands. For the present, at any rate, they
have come under our sovereign control
in Cuba's case under our guardianship
and we are responsible for them. As re-
CARDS all of them we have assumed the Of
fee Of trustee for civilization; We are
bound in honor to execute it faithfully and
diligently. 1t is no light office; we have
our troubles before us. But we have Qet
us hope) our compensations, too.
1t is perfectly safe prediction that the
sixth day of February, 1899, will take its
place among the memorable days of our
history. We wish we knew what the his
torians and political essayists Of hundred
years from now will have to say about it
With all suitable Difference to Senator
Hoar's opinion, we do not in the least be-
lieve that they will date the downfall of
the United States of America from it,

Model Third-Raii Cars Built by the
Wason Manufacturing tomuanv.

Model ThIrd-RRiI Cars Built by the
WRson Manufacturing tOmpany.
The Wason manufacturing company of
Brightwood, Mass, has just completed
two electric coaches for the Westinghouse
electric and manufacturing company of
Pittsburg. The cars are of special design
and are to figure in an interesting expert
ment to be tried by the Westinghouse com
pany. They are to run on suburban rail
ways, power to be supplied by third rail.
The Westinghouse company have long de-
sired to prove the greater convenience and
economy TO be gained by railways in plac-
ing an electric car service on their suburb
an lines. The difficulty has always been
that the cars used by the railway COM
panies in trials of this nature have not
been properly adapted to the service,
and to assure the success of this expert
ment Mr.. Westinghouse of the Pittsburg
company drew special plans for these cars
and sent them to the Wason company TO
be put into tangible shape. Each car
weighs 80 tons and carries two 125-horse-
power motors. Their general structure is
similar TO the cars used on the New York
elevated railroads. Heavy bed framing
and steel channels and beams, with care
full construction in all other respects, give
the cars unusual strength in case of col
lision. They are handsomely finished in
side. The outside is painted in Tuscan
red with decorations in gold. Brattleooro
and Hinsdale friends of Mr.. George U.Fisk,
president of the Wason company, will be
interested in the success of this experiment.

Verdict for the Plaintiff In n Suit TO Re-
cover Mileage BOOk---ROad's COun-
sci Asked for an Appeal.
The trial of the case against the Rutland
road for the conversion of a mileage book
by Conductor Wyman which was mentioned
hast week as to occur Tuesday of this week
was held in Lawyer Robb's office and at
tracted considerable interest. Although
numerous suies have been begun against
the road since the obnoxious rule was
made of taking up any mileage which did
not have the passengers name in it, this IS
the first one that has reached a trial. In
each of the other cases the suit has not
been pressed. Lawyer Robb called for a
jury which resulted in the following PANEL
Clark Chase, G. E. Whitman, w. H. Girls
void, j. ]. Fenton, G. w. Labaree and
John w. Flint. The trial was before JUS
tice @. Il. Williams.
The evidence upon both sides did not dis
agree materially and showed that the
plaintiff had a number of mileage books in
his pocket over various roads, two being
the joint Fitchburg and Rutland books of
1000-mile issue, sold by the Rutland road
here. One of these had the passengers
name in it, and the other contained the
name of another person. This the passen-
ger was using when on the Fitchburg road
only. In handing his mileage to Conductor
Wyman, he Inadvertently handed the
wrong book, which was taken up despite
protest and explanation of the error as well
as the offer of the right book.
The suit was brought to regain possession
of the mileage and the verdict was in favor
of the plaintiff for the value of the book,
the addition of the difference of local fare
paid the road, above what it would have
been if the conductor had accepted the
proffered book, with the passengers name,
and all taxable costs of the suit. From
this verdict Lawyer w. w. Stickney for
the road asked an appeal granted, which
Mr.. Robb objected to as the verdict did
not exceed 500. Mr.. Stickneys conten-
ton was that the road was public officer
and not amenable to justice court. JUS
tice Williams took the latter matter under
advisement and will render a decision
later.

TO RECLAIM THE LAND.
DIkes Are Proposed In Plan to
Render Submerged California
Estates Profitable.

Application of the Dutch method OF
diI<ing has resulted in the reclamation
of about 10000 acres of iow-lying
ground in the basin OF the Sacramento
river. California. below the city of Sac
ramento. while work is in progress to
protect 20. 600 more acres from the in
cursions of the last Is or Is years. About
100000 acres are yet to be drained IN
the Sacramento bottoms and less area
In the lowlands of the valley of the San
Joaquin. Attempts at diking made over
90 years ago failed because the sur
face soils and the peat used in con
structing the dikes could not Withstand
the wearing effect of the rivers current.
Much money was wasted and the dis
heartened workers abandoned the en-
terprise. The newcomers on the ground
