sAvIN ROCK FESTIVITIES.

Fireworks. Vaudeville and Promenade
 Concert the Programme Tonight.
 This is the gala night at Savin Rock. and besides the promenade concert by Atwater's orchestra there will be the vaudeville show at the theater and an exhibition of fireworks that will eclipse all previous displays. The manufact- urer of these fireworks has been under salary for several years to produce these displays, and he has made de- cded success. He is New Haven man and his name is Delfuio. His bombs are the best that are shown any, where and his name has become iden- tified with this style of fireworks.
 At the theater there is one of the best aggregations of artists that has been present on one programme in some time.
 The Baroness von Zeiger. one of the soloists, who has toured the country with Sousa, is one of the features of the bill, and her solos are the source of much favorable comment. Hellman, the magician, too, is working wonders with his intricate tricks, and the one in which he uses a live canary bird is puzzler. This is a novelty and has never been done by any magician in New Haven heretofore Ellis T. Jack son. the colored boy musician, who per forms so cleverly on several musical in- struments. does some remarkable work. He is assisted in a comedy sketch by l his mother.
 | Resides being musical artists on mu- sical instruments Greve and Greene in their sketch afford many genuine hearty laughs with the antics of their trick dog.
 | Selborn's three Nonpareils in Ger man military sketch are funny and do

THE PRESIDENTS VISIT.

Arrangements for His Trip Through
 Connecticut Completed.
 President Roosevelt has so far ma 4ured his plans that the arrangements for the trip through Connecticut are completed.

A letter to Senator Platt concerning his plants intimates that there will probably be an opportunity to hear the president speak at Hart ford.

A MATTER OF VITAL IMPORTANCE

The most difficult problem which has
confronted the managers of the Minnesota
state fair in recent years has been that
of transporting visitors to and from the
fair grounds. When the Como Inter
urban electric line was built it was sup
posed that the transportation problem
was solved, but the enormous growth of
the fair since then has proven that a
single line was inadequate for handling
such crowds as visit our Minnesota state
fair.
This problem demands some careful
consideration at the hands of business
men of both cities and the men of Mime
apolis should make it point to attend
the Commercial Noon Day Talk to-mor-
row, when Secretary E. w. Randall of the
state fair will present the subject, as it
now stands. 1t is hoped that the earnest
and intelligent cooperation of the bust
ness men and the commercial organiza-
tions of both cities with the managers
of the fair will bring about satisfac-
tory solution of this problem before the
fair of 1902 shall open.

What they feared was national legislation
inimical to some. So now they find no
great difficulty in justifying their desire
for strong federal legislation for inter-
state corporations. It is plain to them,
as we'll as to those who believe in a
strongly centralized republic, that 1t is
only by rational legislation that the great
corporations can be regulated and re-
strained in such manner as the public
good requires.
This growing tendency to rely on ma
tional legislation for relief from evils
that the states were formerly thought
compel ent to deal with is in no way a
menace to American liberty. 1t merely
shows that the trusts are creating their
own remedy. BY extending their scope
and selfishly exerting their great strength
they have unified the opposing interests
OF all the people. The Industrial mergers
nave created popular merger. The
states willingly expect the federal gov
eminent. as the proprietary company, so
to speak. of the popular merger, to take
the steps it can to curb the Industrial
and commercial mergers.

ROOSEVELT AND VAN SAINT

When you hear any one advocating the
sending of uninstructed delegates to
republican convention you cannot be
blamed for the inference that
the advocacy of this plan pro-
ceeds from hostility to Governor Van
SAINT. The uninstructed delegate is all
right when there are a number of candi-
dates and when there is no great issue
at stake. In this campaign there is an
issue at stake and a very clearly defined
one. There is the great question whether
the governor shall be indorsed as to his
official action toward the merger, or
whether he shall be condemned
The only way to indorse is to indorse
TO fail to express approval of his course
will be equivalent to an expression of
disapproval.
1t should be borne in mind, too, that
this expression of approval or disappro-
val will apply not only to the state but
to the national administration. If Gov
ernor Van SAINT took the initiative, if for
time he stood alone in his determina-
ton to test the strength and efficacy OF
the law toward railroad consolidation and
the trust principle, he has had imitators
and indorsers which no republican con.
vention in this state can afford to ignore
or condemn. What Governor Van SAINT
initiated President Roosevelt is carrying
on on a much greater scale and to the
accomplishment of larger results. If the
administration of the state of Minnesota
was in need Of moral support in the posi-
ton which it has assumed on this i'm
portant question it could not have asked
for higher Endorsement than it has re.
ceived. With Roosevelt and Van SAM
committed to the proposition that the
antitrust laws Of the nation and the
| state made tic. be enforced and shall
be tested to their utmost, it is interest
ing to see how many republican conven.
lions in this state can be induced t.
withhold that expression of approva
which is SO clearly due.

ECONOMY IN WARsHIps

The naval appropriations bill; presented
to the house yesterday contains a provi-
sion for a new departure in ship building
that should meet with the emphatic APP
proval of patriotic people in all parts of
the country. 1t is the section authoriz
ing the secretary of war. to build any or
all warships in government navy yards
and making it mandatory upon him to
construct in these yards one battleship
and one armored cruiser, "as an experi-
ment."
The insertion of this provision is
notable victory for the friends of the
navy yards over the private ship build
ers. The hard fight made by the resi-
dents of ports at which frst-class navy
yards are located was chiefly animated
by elf-interest, but in this case it has
proved to be that enlightened selfishness
which is good for all as we'll as for the
few who profit directly. None Of these
more audacious than the Board of Trade
of Vallejo, California, whose selfish in
terest is inspired by the proximity OF
the Mare Island navy yard.
The Vallejo people by largely concen-
trating their attention on comparisons
between work done by the Mare island
yard and contractors and sticking to
facts with which they were familiar were
able to present such convincing argu-
ments in favor Of at least making the
experiment of building warships in navy
yards that the naval committee would
hardly have dared to do otherwise than
| it has done. They have done their own
city good, but we believe that their cam
paign has been the means of saving the
nation millions Of dollars and giving it
better warships.
The government maintains at a cost OF
SIS, O0O, 900 yearly naval yards that do only
81, 000, 900 worth Of repair work. Yet
these yards are capable, with their ex-
listing plants, of building the largest war
vessels. They have the skilled mechanics
they do not have to pay huge contrac-
tors profit, and they would have no mo-
tive in giving inferior work or poor ma
| terial It is absurd and most unbusi-
nesslike for the government to maintain
costly yards to do petty repair and re-
building work while annually giving out
to private yards SIS. 100000 to 00,00t
worth Of contracts that could probably
4 be handled far more satisfactorily anG
far more cheaply in the government
yards.
When the work of building the new
navy began there was a good reason for
] giving the work to private yards. 1t was
e. good way to stimulate American ship
building without resorting to objection
able subsidies. Being tolerably sure of a
certain amount of government work at q
good profit, the contractors could at least
live while waiting for private work. But
stnow the yards being overwhe lmed witt
