THE MAINE STYLE OF MEN.

How They Get Into Congress From
That State and Not from Most 9th
ers.
Why is it that Maine is in the habit
of sending men to Washington like
Blaine, Reed, Dingley Hale, Frye, Bou-
telle, Burleigh, Allen and Littlefield
Vastly greater states, like New York,
Pennsylvania and Illinois do not do this
1t is not necessary to search long to
ascertain why 1t is that the character
and capacity Of the Maine representa-
tives in the senate and house average
so much better than those of most of
the other states.
1t is not because Maine is blessed with
so much superior talent. 1t Is because
Maine is not cursed with a powerful
partisan machine whose bose is able to
name senators and congressman.
Two men of opposing politics in this
state practically name the majority of
senators, congressman and state Off
GERS. Their will, in existing conditions,
is more potential than the wishes of
million voters. These men are not
above suspicion, and they have power
full party machines at their back to en-
force their edictS When there are men,
acing popular protests, they not infre-
quently secretly combine their forces to

slightly firmer goes in, it becomes sim
ply 'pekoe'' tea. The addition Of the
next two leaves ON the stem makes
first" and second" "souchong."
| After the leaves are weighed they are
carried to the lofts. where they are
spread over the clean, polished floor to
be Wilted. As soon as the leaves are
withered to the right degree, which &C.
cure in about six hours, they are put
into the tea-roller. This machine is run
by steam and works with an oscillatory
motion. 1t is of glistening copper bur-
nished inside and out until it shines like
gold. During the rolling, which lasts
about 80 minutes, the sap escapes and Is
spread all over the surface of the rolled
leaf in a way favorable to the action of
oxygen in the next stage-oXidation
When the leaf is released from the roll
ing machine it is found that a good deal
of 1t is formed into balls varying from
two to four inches in diameter which
must be broken up. After being broll-
en- the leaf is spread on trays well moist
ened and is then left to oxidize or fer
ment.
The most important chemical trans
formation Is that which takes place
during the process of fermentation. 1t
Is absolutely necessary to check the fer
mentation at its first stage, which is
done by firing. After fermentation the
leaf is subjected to hot blast by being
put through a drying or firing ma
chine. This action arrests the oxidation
at just the right. stage. The tea is dried
at the came time and turns black. AS
soon as it is cool the tea ii sorted,
weighed, and packed in air tight boxes.

TOO MUCH GYPSY MOTH.

1t will be a relief for Connecticut to
know that the special committee ap-
pointed to investigate the gypsy moth
in Massachusetts hasn't been scared by
what it has found. Indeed, it expresses
the opinion that the fears of the farm
ers throughout the State have been I'M
necessarily aroused. The methods en-
ployed in determination, the committee
thinks, show much to commend and lit
tie to criticise, but as to organization
and management of the forces the COM
mittee says it finds IAN unwise, unbusi-
ness-like and extravagant expenditure
of State funds" in part due to the prin-
ciple under which the work is now car
ried on and in part due to mismanage-
ment.
The committee discusses the policy of
the gypsy moth committee of the State
board of agriculture and the evidence
submitted at the hearings, finally con-
Guiding that sufficient attention has not
been given to the destruction of the
moth by it's natural enemies, birds and
parasites. That much good work has
been done and much learned the COM
mittee admits, and does not believe it
advisable to wholly abandon the work.

Let it be gratefully and joyously re-
corded that street sprinkling was be-
gun in this city yesterday. Many a
year is in its grave since the protest
against the unchecked distribution of
the Spring dust in New Haven began,
and many good New Haven men and
women are in their graves because that
protest went so long unheeded At last
an attack is made on theNdust just when

( prevent the success of honest policies
and honest candidates.
Hence, we ask, where is there an
equal of Littleield, Names new con-
gresham, in New York's whole delega-
| ton to the house of representatives?
Mr.. Platt and Mr.. Croker have active
lieutenants among them, ready to MIN
bly, do their bidding; but the people look
in vain to any New York congressman
for leadership on the floor when any
important issue is pending. Probably
not one out of every ten readers could
| even call by name the organization
republican who represents this dis
| trict, and yet he is serving his second
| term. And those who know his name
would be stumped if called upon to de-
Signate anything he has done beyond
the merest routine duty, which school
boy could have performed as well.
In Maine there is probably not one
voter in a hundred who could not read
lily name his representative in congress.
There are no obscurities, no "heeles,
in the delegation. All are men of prom
inence, ability and stability; Of the same
general type that should be elected
elsewhere, and would be but for the in
PREVENTION of machines to promote COM
plant followers rather than to nominate
statesmen for congress.
Bosses are distrustful and jealous of
men of conspicuous intellectual qualifi-
cations. They prefer small men, as they
fear their ability to handle others.
Hence ii is that congress is replete
with cheap politicians who have no fit
ness for the discharge of important leg
islative functions.
If Maine gets along without party
machines. and has statesmen of great
ability to represent it's interests, is there
any sound reason why New York, Penn
sylvania or Illinois could not also dis
pense with corrupt system of bossism
which debauches politics and degrades

The coal famine in Europe is becom-
from United States consuls give some
| interesting information concerning it.
At Trieste Consul Hossfeld reports coal
| is selling for $10.15 ton, and it is not
so good as American coal. Consular
Agent Harris at Eibenstock, reports
that the schools are closing for want of
coal; many factories have shut down
in Plauen, in Carlsfeld and Gorlitz, and
the glass works are suffering greatly
and laying off many hands. From Co
burg, Consul Hughes reports that all
the factories of china, glass. toys and
dolls have shut down for lack of coal
while from Frankfort, Vice Consul Cen
eral Hanauer reports that strenuous eff
forts are being made by the German
coal syndicate to prevent extortion by
the middlemen. Consul General Guen-
Their at Frankfort reports efforts on
the part of the commercial element to
stop by law the expectation of German
coal.
What is Europe's loss will be our
gain for awhile at least. An English
syndicate of coal dealers has just closed
gigantic deal by which 100000 tons
of Alabama coal are to be delivered at
the port of New Orleans for exporta-
ton within two years time. The pur-
chase price agreed upon in the contract
is said to be rs cents a ton at the
mouth of the coal pits. Fifty cents
ton is to be allowed for transportation
to New Orleans The entire 100000
tons are to be reloaded and shipped by
steamer at that port. The English syn
dictate will run it's own line of steam
ers direct to New Orleans, and the or
binary brokerage in handling the ships
is to be cut off. On an average one
steamer is expected to load and sail
each month during the twenty-four
months time limit,

ness carried low to a down-dipped belt
is still tn most popular and the most
surely good taste. Such waist of satin
or taffeta is covered with lace so per-
fectly matched that it appears to fasten
nowhere and be all of one piece. Per-
haps the latest cry Is the waist of stem

Some of the spring tailor gowns in
very light weight cloths are beauties.
They constitute the best compromise be-
tween tailor like stiffness and distinct
ly feminine characteristics that recent
fashions have presented. Here is an
example. Self-trimming and stitching
We're proof of tailoring, but they had a
delicacy that was missed in the best of
braided suits, and over all was an APP
pearance to suggest that a woman
bossed the job. Perhaps she didn't;

tailor of the male persuasion will think
it very unlikely. Chocolate broadcloth
