If the plans of certain English cap italis.s do not miscarry it will be pos sible ere long for the economical par ent to purchase q suit of clothes which may be passed along among his sons for fifth of a century, says the Chi cago Chronicle. Mills are now being built in England for the manufacture of this kind of long-wearing material, which can be turned out in almost any color wanted. Think of getting a suit of clothes that will last for 20 years; that will cost only third more than a suit costs now, and that will be abso- lutely waterproof without appearing to be so Revolutionize is rather an overworked word but it fits this case exactly. Instead of singing "Papa's Pants Will Soon Fit Johnnie," the re- frain will run Johnnie Soon Will Wear Pas Pants" for when pa once begins to wear these extremely usefu, articles before Johnnie has got out of dresses he may continue to wear then for the next 20 years. and by that time Johnnie will have grown up to them The same with little Mary and hel mothers skirts.

BRASS CITY HYPOCRISY.

r < :
 In another column on this page we pOrary, the Waterbury Democrat, d dissertation on the inconsistency of the leaders of the g. o. D., in the dis tribution of the patronage. The re- publicans of the Brass City want 8 broad-minded policy in the division of the spells. where their opponents have the power, and narrow-mlnded policy where the republicans have full sway. so that the majority can .'gobble" everything in sight. The democrats of Waterbury, and of Connecticut, have had number of object lessons from the republican patriots, and If they permit themselves in the future to be cajoled or brow beaten by their political opponents, they will have no one to blame but themselves. The board of public safety in Waterbury. in selecting five patrolmen for that city, will make no mistake in imitat- ing the tactics of che New Haven re- publican county caucus. Tt IS q poor rule that will not work both ways" But we can hear the republican re- formers shouting, keep the police force out of politics. Well, then, keep the courts out of politics. Of course, the court officials have nothing to do with politics; they are all members of the Sunday school. We have admiration for a partisan, but a hypocrite, no matter what his political affiliations may be, deserves the contempt of all honest people.-New Haven Union.

HEARD IN PASSING

The sport of killing United States marshals and deputies is again popu- lar with Kentucky moonshiners.
 The brewers made the senate reduce the tax on beer to $1.5O barrel. Now what is the house going to do about it?
 Our experience with the Indians has not been calculated to arouse enthusi- asm over system of government edu- caClon in the Philippines.
 Great Britain's new king doubtless believed that seven was luckier num- Der than one, and chose to be Edward VII. rather than Albert I.
 It is dollars to soda crackers that MT Mckinley will not keep his prom ise to give commissions in the reor- ganized army only to me who have served in the Philippines.
 It is not surprising that the total of appropriations made by the fifty sixth congress, which is jumping to- ward the two billion mark, should alarm some of the republican leaders, but their alarm comes rather late in the day.
 If MT Mckinley expected to frighten the democrats in congress by his extra session bluff he must be badly disap pointed. The democrats have nothing to lose by an extra session, while they may gain much through republican mistakes.
Waterbury Democrat., 1901-02-02

It is now admitted by treasury off cials that the greater portion of the taxes imposed nominally to meet the expenses of the war with Spain, but really to make up the deficit that would have existed long before now on account of the prohibitive nature of many sections of the Dingley tariff act, will be permanent, because of the increasing public expenditures and de- creasing income from customs duties. Some prominent republicans are open ly advocating the lowering of tariff duties to increase the revenue, but the rock-ribbed high protectionists, of whom MT Mckinley is one of the chief high priests, will not consent to that as long as they have the power to prevent it. So the people can make up their minds to pay the war taxes not cut by the bill now before the sen ate for at least four years more.
Waterbury Democrat., 1901-02-02

New York and San FfAncfsGo can cer- tainly be transported more cheAply, more rapidly and more comfortably
 through a single system or railroad with one ticket, one berth and one car, than with q series of changes, deten- tions, risks of connections, etc. It is quite safe to say that the public, much as it hates large railroad corporations, would never go back to the methods of twenty or twenty-five years ago when
 long Journeys meant much dlscom- fort and deprivation. Fms movement, however, towards consolidation has its ups and downs. Actual comblnatlOn
 ana pooling often being impossible owing to legal Instructions, the .com- munlty of interest idea IS being tried. This involves such a distribution of ownership as can exercise conLfoi over the rate-making powers and prevent the demoraliZlng cut rate struggles which bankrupted so large a propor- ton of railroads during the last de- cade. This plan Is to be put into effect in the coalers, and efforts are being made to carry it out in some form in certain of the western and southwest ern lines. The accomplishment of such plans means the transfer of large amounts of stock into the hands of those controlling the deals, and it Is imparted recent strength into the mar ket. Some negotiations have not been completed, and no means are yet offer cd for judging their stability. but many of the market leaders have cer- tainty been discouraging a vigorous advance for some little time past, and this accounts for diminished activity.

There is a vast difference between General De Wet and General kitch- ener In the matter of handling prison CTS. During three weeks the follow ing captures were made by the Boers. At Dewetsdorp-The Gloucester regi

That is over HOO prisoners, officers and men, in that short time, without counting many smaller affairs. What a cry of horror would have been raised in England if all those troops were massacred in retaliation for similar butcheries on our side, says friend of the Boers. What day of weeping there would be in Scotland and North
