Very little is heard these days about the demands made by the machinists. Perhaps it is the Hull before the storm. Every man interested in the move ment should exercise good, common sense the next two weeks. Employer and employe should get together, talk oyer the situation, and let there be no misunderstanding If the bosses in tend to refuse the demand, it might be better to tell the men about 1t at once, as they can discuss it in the mean- time. The cooler-headed and more sensible union men will then have chance to agitate and talk arbitration with those who are always ready to go out on a moments notice. Settlo the differences right here and at once. The result of this movement will be await ed with eagerness, and 1t is hoped that men who have been identified with waterbury's interests will not do any thing that will impair them. Let us arbitrate.

With the possible exception of Alas ka, says writer in the New England Engineering Magazine, no transfer on a large scare has ever been made in modern times of land about which so little is known by either the old or the new owner as in the case of the Philip pine Islands. Spain, indeed, left many records, geological, clirnatical, agricul tural, etc, many of which were made with the appearance of elaborate pains taking as, to facts. These records pre- sent many rosy picture to the new arrival. Clear, explicit, frequently ac- companied by elaborate drawings, he feels he has but to follow to success a track made clear by his predecessors. A few months, and the illusion is dis pelled; he has learned to distrust all information derived from Spanish sour- ces. To illustrate the Spaniard's lack of accuracy may be cited the case of the Manila & Dagupan railroad, some 120 LullSS lOnS, lue Ouly IduIO1u Oh lAt 4S- lands. The Spanish government had the line surveyed by it's own engineers. Elaborate charts were prepared, show ing all details-route, grade, filings, borings for bridge foundations, etc. English capital became interested, a rigid contract was entered into, and the work was begun. It was dis covered in many casss that the engi- neers reporting the survey had never been upon the ground-that the road laid out was impracticable. Marshes and quicksands were found where tue drawings indicated solid ground, and dense jungles existed on the route where the foot of man had never trod. Even rivers were there of whose exist ence the engineers were ignorant. The English company was obliged to ex- pend largely in excess of the estimated amount, and to face many grave en- gineering problems the Spanish en- gineers had not dreamed of while sur veying the route from their comfort- able office in Manila.

NOR the purpose of showing royal
 appreciation of the assistance
 given the mother country in her time of need by the colonies of Eng land, King Edward not only consent ed to, but urged, the world circling journey upon which the duke and duchess of Cornwall and York are now engaged. They will carry to the loyal supporters of the home govern ment in India, in Australia, in South Africa and Canada the thanks of the rulers of England for the timely as sistance rendered by these colonies in England's time of greatest need, and for the loyal troops they sent to fight England's battles in South Af- rica.
 Such journey had first been planned by Queen Victoria early last fall, and for the same purpose, but for Q time it was feared the death of the queen would prevent the carrying out of the royal programme. for it is one thing for the heir presumptive to the English throne to leave England for the greater part of a year. ard quite another for the heir apparent to do so. But King Edward would hear of no change in the plans.
 They left England on March 16, and at this writing are we'll on their way to Australia, where the duke will open the first parliament of feder- ated Australia in May. His will be the first visit of English royalty to this far-away colony, and the Aus tralian people will give him a royal welcome.
 A glance at the diagram and map accompanying this article will show the reader the. route the royal party will travel. Several of the points at which stops are noted have already

 The newspapers of New York and elsewhere keep on plugging head of the police department Murphy Even be- fore he was well settled in his office they commenced fusilade against him. Committees of fifteen vigilance committees and prosecutors interfering in police officials work is not the best thing to do always, and if the men who are now conducting raids in New York would let up for time and give the new official a chance to organize his forces and look around there would be less friction and more law and order perhaps. Up to the present Murphy has been kept so busy answering why he did not do thus and so, that he really has had little time for real busi- ness. We have sample of the disor- der and all that goes with it, in Wa terbury, caused by outside interfer- ence with the duties of police officers. No man, whether he is a digger in the sewer or the head of the New York police department is going to give as good satisfaction to his employer if there is watch kept on his every movement. Examples of this kind are plenty right here in our Connecticut cities, where the law and order league has gone to work to unearth crime. The result generally is that the local officers become listless and careless for a time until the outsiders run their length and leave for new fields. Then business goes on with the old time push. Give Murphy show.

THE MANNERS OF TRoLLEYs.

The open cars have come out in full force and they have brought the core spending spring styles in street car manners.
 In the winter months it is under stood that, no matter how many tired men may have already seated them selves in car, any woman who enters thereafter is entitled to whatever seat she prefers. If she decides to ''sit near the door," which a good many of them do prefer, then a man near the door" must get up and get. We cannot say what would happen if he didn't, for he always does.
 Later, when the woman who took the seat leaves it, the women who have been sitting on each side of her give q shake to their skirts and, To, there is no vacancy at all The indif- ference with which seated women will look at their standing sisters until a man surTenders is offset by the zeal with which they close over the empti- ness when seated sister departs from among them.
 But all this is of the closed car the winter, and the past. We have come hoW " thO OPO1 (tt1 All W lltCn tuGI G are two end seats on each row. The man who has the nerve to sit on the end when q woman proceeds to enter is brave, if not thoughtless.

 The end seat has the undeserved reputation of being the best; that's what ails it.

The spread. of little altogether accidental negligence in the matter of climbing across the ends will soon give those two seats the reputation they deserve and will make trolley travelling easier for all concerned.-Hartford Courant.

closer together. Buffalo will make a strong effort to secure the presence
 of the royal party for day or more,
 and should they succeed it will prove
 q great drawing card for the exposi- tion. It is also hoped that they may visit Washington and meet President
 Mckinley, or, if that is impossible, and they can get to Buffalo, an ef-
 fort will be made to have the presi- dent there to welcome them to the
 United States.
 Before leaving England King Ed
 ward conferred the power of grant
 ing knighthood upon the duke, and
 many titles are expected to be left in
 the wake of the party as they jour ney through England's colonies, the comforting of which will do much to
 bind the mother country and her col
 onies together in closer ties, and to
 popularize the ruling house of Eng land throughout Greater Britain in which so little of royalty is seen.
 Great preparations were made for this journey of the heir apparent of
 England and his wife. The steamship Ophir, in which their trip is being
 made, was prepared for the occasion with great care, and for some months
 has undergone an elaborate overhaul ing to make 1t a worthy home for it's royal passengers during the time of their journey. When she left Eng
 land she was, superior in many ways to either of the royal yachts in which English royalty have previously trav-
 eled. The Ophir was frat built to run as 2 mail and passenger steamer be- tween England and Australia in the
 Orient line. Tn that capacity she won
 a reputation for safety and for com. fort which gains for her the distinc. ton of carrying the duke and duchess

 Reputations of oyster dealers ir New York and Baltimore are being carried in tin cans to foreign coun. tries, and when the cans are opened, discredit is reflected on their hon. esty, and trade that the United States IS trying to build up is injured. The facts are, according to United States consuls, that very many. cans sent abroad marked Oysters. are found to contain much water, with less juice of the bivalyes, and a remark. ably small number of oysters. Com. plaints. have been coming to the. de, partment of state, and the last one made public is from Edward M. Thompson. consul at Progreso, Mex ico. Various complaints have lately been made to me-" Consul Thompson writes, "that certain brands ot canned oysters sent here for sale con. tain almost no oysters. Investigatina this matter, I purchased in open mar. ket two cans, wrapped with the labels of certain canner of the United States. One of these tins was hali filled with juice and held nine smaE oysters; the other contained seven."- N. Y. Herald.

Recently H. H. Vreeland was making speech to young men and spoke very emphatically on the question of per- sonal manner and outward appear. ance. If you are looking for job and have one in sight, said he, sand have but $24 in the world, spend $2c for new suit of clothes, $3.5o for a pair of shoes, 50 cents for hair cut and shave. Then walk where that ioh is, and ask for it like a man." The boys applauded.
 The next day spruce-looking young man walked into Mr. Vreeland's office. "Please give this card to the presi- dent," he said.
 MT. Vreeland looked at the card when it reached him. On the same were these, words; q have paid SEQ for this suit of clothes, $3.5o for pair of shoes. 50 cents for hair cut. I have walked from Harlem. I would like job as conductor on your rail- road"
