HIS7ORf1N M4CLAY.

Historian Maclay's case is mildly in teresting. He thinks he knows his
 rights, and thinking he knows them he
 dares to try to maintain them. So he
 has respectfully yet firmly declined tc resign his place as Special laborer" in
 the Brooklyn navy yard. He takes the position that the President is powerless to put him out of office. He says that MT. Roosevelt is bound to execute the laws enacted by congress, and that, in asmuch as congress made the civil ser vice law, the President must see that it is executed faithfully. The historian does not take any offensive stand against his superiors, but simply asks for what he says is justice under the law He is protected by civil service, he thinks, and he does not believe that President Roosevelt, who has ever been the champion of civil service, will delib- erately override the law.
 It is not probable that Maclay will be able to hold on to his job as a special laborer. There is a clause in the civil service law which says that the Presi- dent may make whatever exceptions to the regulations that he sees fit. The effect of this provision is that the mere order of the President is superior to the law which Maclay believes is an invul- nerable protection for him. After Maclay has been fired out it is to be hoped that he will give us some more history" For instance, it would be to know just how he came to call Admiral Schley a caitiff, etc., and just how he and his book got the support they seem to have received in naval circles.

SENSIBLE SH4RE HOLD ERS.

The French shareholders in the Pan- anna ditch who are willing to sell out cheap are sensible, for if the United States adopts the Nicaragua route their stock will be worthless. The talk is that the United States can get for s25,OOOO O00 what has cost about 200,000,000 and there is also talk that the United States may decide to buy out the discouraged Frenchmen. Any how, it is not likely that congress will now hasten the passage of the bills commit ting the United States to the Nicaragua route. There is no need of hurry. The commerce of the country will not suffer because of a short delay in the construction of an inter- oceanic waterway. It is essential to the success of the project that the shortest and most practical route should be selected. If the French shareholders in the Panama con- pany are willing to sell their prop erty on reasonable terms, their propo- sition ought to be carefully investigated The Panama route has it's advantages, the canal is partly dug, and the saving of many millions of dollars is worth considering, even in these rich times.

lands in the seventeen States and ter ritories affected. This WAll amount an- nually to between $2,000,000 and S3,000,- o00 It is proposed to permit the Secre- tary of the Interior to expend this mon ey as he sees fit in carrying out such projects as may be agreed upon later for irrigating the arid sections. When the reclama ton of piece of territory has been accomplished it is to be thrown open to homestead entry in small tracts, and before title is actually given a man must have lived on the ground and cultivated it. He will then be required to pay in installments what it cost to procure the water for the land. These payments are to be con- verted back into the fund and used again in developing other sections, so that 1t will continually grow.
 This plan will not require an appro- priation from congress to start the work, and it is thought that it will therefore appeal to many who otherwise might be inclined to object to it. The western representatives are very much in earnest in the matter, and it is prob able that they will be able to accom- pllsh something.

ONE OF ENGLAND'S FOREMOST
 FARMERS.

One of England's foremost farmers is q woman, the Hon. Mrs. Murray Smith. On her estate, Gurneley Hall, Leicester shire, she raises some of the finest Jer- sey cattle that are bred anywhere. She is an early riser, and is up and about among her men as soon as the sun is in sight. She attends to all the details of the management of her estate. All of the improvements which can con- tribute to the well-being of the animals are made at her discretion. She sees that they have the best of food and the most comfortable quarters. As the re- suit they have taken many prizes. One COW, Lorina, which carried off the milk ing prize at Tring and the butter cer- tificate at the Bath and West of Eng land show gives 900 gallons of milk yearly. Mrs. Smiths rule is not to keep any COW which yields less than 500 gall Ions of milk a year. She herself at- tends to all of her correspondence and the reeord-keeping in connection with the animals.-From the Chicago Record Herald

Tho Water Question and Other Cues.

The Water Question and Other Cues. To the Editor of the Journal and Courier: The one question before the citizens at this time is the making a contract with the New Haven Water company on the most favorable terms to the city. The company is well able to look out for itself and needs no editors, par sons or lawyers to plead its case, but if these gentlemen see fit to throw their influence on the side of the corpora tions and against the people they are at perfect liberty to do SO, just as you say the well meaning enthusiasts are at liberty to shout for the public own ership of public property. But those who take this attitude of securing to corporations the special privileges they now enjoy at the expense of the body polite, must understand that we know our friends from our foes and the fu- ture will tell.
 Taxes are high in our city because these public service corporations escape their just share of the burden and shift it off in small doses on the toilers We ask that $20,000 be saved the city in making this contract, which would re- duce our taxes, and the Register says. Let well enough alone" and you say about the same thing. And yet it was but short time ago when the Board of Finance was figuring on sending q Yale medical student out to Sprlngside Home to replace q trained nurse, be- cause he could be had for $50 per year, while the nurse commanded $30 per month.
 There are some things that are enough to stagger the simple minded man. though they may be quite compre- hensible to banker, a parson or professor of political economy.
 For instance. our Board of Finance borrows money at s3.20 year before it is needed, banks it at 2 per cent and lose much. We then lay off all men working on street repairs for lack of funds
 A citizen comes along and shows how the tax rate could be reduced from 13 1-2 to 10 mills and he is drowned down and told contemptuously, We want no schemes" It would surely appear that some "scheme" is sorely needed to ex- plain these glaring inconsistencies.
 Yet you say, Why discuss this mat ter further?" and I reply with the quotation, None shrink from discus sion save they who fear the truth

WILLIAM c. CASE.

| William c. Case, who died at his home in Hartford yesterday, had been
 one of the most notable men of Con- necticut for many years. He was known all over the State, and wherever he was known he was admired for the depth and clearness of his thought, his power of expression, and his ability to deal readily and easily with any situa- tion that might confront him in his work as lawyer, legislator or politician. He was more than ordinarily successful in whatever he undertook. He won
 fame as a lawyer and orator. He was
 powerful in a legislative body and not
 less so In a political convention. He
 had much to do with making history"
 in Connecticut and his legal and pub
 lie work will be long remembered and
 talked of. Successful as he was, those
 who knew him best felt that he might
 have been even more so if he had deep
 ly and consistently cared to be. As the
 Hartford Times well puts 1t: "He seemed to rate rather lightly all the successes he obtained, as if his real in- terest were elsewhere, and he were merely doing well that which he had to do because he would not condescend to do it indifferently, not because it was real end to him as professional work is to most successful men. There was that in him which made one think of poet or a philosopher, rather than an attor- ney and a politician" He was pleas ant and considerate in his dealings with his fellow beings, and had many warm friends as well as thousands of admirers. He liked life in the country was gentle angler, and a pleasant man to be with either in the city or the country. His death will cause sor- row in many hearts all over Connecti- oI1t

RI T|Rt MINT SALE. CHANGE IN BUSINESS OF THE GEORGE H. FORD co. Entire Stock Reduced From
 20 to 50 Per Cent.
An Unprecedented Event in the Commercial History of New Haven --- Rich Goods From Abroad as well as High Class Domestic Products in the Sale.

The retirement sale of The George H. Ford Company has given to pur- ohasers an opportunity that Is as valuable as it is rare. This house has today an unrivalled stock em- bracing a range from pretty and in- expensive articles to the most mag nificent in its line.
 All purses will find a correspond ing object for outlay. If one purchaser desires a lasting object that will stand the test of centuries 1t can be found in the sale. If another purchaser desires some pretty and artistic trifIe. correct and exclusive in design. this also can be found in their extensive stock and at exceedingly low cost.
 Everything in the stock has come under the reduction of 20 to 50 per cent, and it is unnecessary to add that everything in the stock is just as represented.
 There will be no aftermath of re- gret to a purchaser at The George H. Ford Co.'S sale. No one will find that a year or two will wear the semblance of genuineness from an article and leave 1t base imi- tation exposed. or a mechanism that will not do its duty.
 Diamonds sold here are f1awless; precious stones sold here are per- feet; watches, both silver and gold, and the many "ob1ects de art" are genuine selections made by con- noisseurs whose experience and taste equip them to select nothing but the absolutely correct.
 The retirement sale Is genuine, also. It is not holiday pretense, It will be continued as long as necessary to make the desired re- ductlon in inventory. and the price reduction of 20 to 50 per cent. will be maintained to the close of the sale.
