BETTER THAN THE o1D ONE.

The Waterbury American makes a good point when it says: If the voters of Connecticut were compelled on Mon day next to choose finally between the old constitution and the new, and were never to have any future opportunity of making changes, they would surely choose the new, That is proof that it is better than the old"
 Very true. And as it is also true that the new Constitution provides conn paratively easy way of making changes it seems sensible to accept it, and not throw away all the time, the talk and the money that were spent in making the new document. Furthermore, per haps the reformers wouldn't do as well again if they were allowed to start over. The Register thinks they produced a decoy duck this time. Perhaps the next time their work would be decoy goose.

NOT ALI IN.

MT. Morgan and Mir. Hill are not to control the worlds commerce without some objection. The British govern ment, the Canadian government and various colonial governments are nego- tiating with the Cunard line and other lines of a Liverpool syndicate for the creation of an opposition shipping com bine, fostered by increased subsidies, to operate in connection with the Cana dian Pacific railway. The North Att lantic Is not to become Yankee lake. The Canadian Pacific. on the Atlantic as well as on the Pacific, will have it's own shipping and will preserve its in- dependence of the Morgan Hill round Pacific stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and there is no railroad the same. It has for some time past had a trans-Pacific line of steamers operated in connection with the railroad and has been arranging trans-Atlan- tic connection. It Is to have, it is stated, fast service of mail and pas senger steamers of great size, capable of twenty-five knots an hour, and fitted for conversion into auxiliary cruisers Its freight steamers will be smaller, but of adequate size and speed. With this equipment-which will require several years to build-the Canadian Pacific hopes to retain good part of the North Atlantic trade and at the same time connect across the Pacific with China, Japan and Australia.
 But if MT. Morgan and MT. Hill should finally conclude to combine the United States and the British empire the above described scheme wouldn't amount to much.

MONEY IN EES.

That there is money in planting trees is being perceived, and there are indi- cations that there will soon be trees enough growing to make up for a considerable part of the waste that has gone recklessly on. Through the ef- forts of the bureau of forestry at Washington some of the railroads have become interested in producing upon their lands timber for their own use. The secretary of the International So- ciety of Arboriculture, MT. John P. Brown of Indiana, has been urging this matter upon them with gratifying suc- cess. The present year he has been su- with 110,000 trees not far from New Or leans for the Illinois Central railroad, and another tract with q, 900 at Kanka- kee, III. NThe Kansas Fort Scott and Memphis road has planted 2,500,00O and a number of the big lines in the West are going into the enterprise on a large scale. Mfr Brown has also been au- thorized to locate and purchase five thousand acres in the West for planting, and this will accommodate several mill lion trees. Not only in the West, but in the South and East the railroads have become interested in the work

BRITISH TOR PEDO DESTROYERS.

The British Admiralty has been con- torpedo boat destroyers in the event of war and an interesting step has now where the destroyers to the number of twenty-four (twenty in commission and four in reserve) have been permanently organized in three divisions, each of these under a commander, with cap- tain in supreme command. As a sort of floating base or mother ship for the destroyers, a man-of-War has been spe- cially fitted A set of cabins has been built for the commander, who lives on board as a kind of admiral He has been provided with staff consisting of paymaster, with proper assistants working in 8 specially built office; medical officer and assistants, with big sick bay; a chief engineer and sev- eral artificers, with a very complete workshop, where 95 per cent. of "de- fects' hitherto made good in Malta dockvard can now be dealt with, There are also provided a police staff and cells for punishment, capital bath and wash-places, and other accommoda ton for the destroyers' crews, including an airy mess deck, where they can have relaxation and recreation after the con- fined accommodation of their own ves- sels. The mother ship also carries arn- intuition, provisions and every kind of stores for the destroyers, so that she and her torpedo flotilla form com- pletely independent organization. The

The ecclesiastical domain in the Philippines, concerning which Commits sioner General Taft is on his mission to Rome contains an area of 403, 713 acres according to official reports. These lands are almost entirely in Luzon, as under Spanish rule the ownership of such property in the other islands was rather precarious. Two clerical or ders, the Domnicans and the Augus- tins, own these lands in unequal pro- portions. The yearly income of the De- minicans from their lands before the war amounted to $211 1000, and that of the Augustus to $10O,000 To the Recol- Ietos, a branch of the Augustus, also belong some lands, the revenues of all the orders having amounted to about $450,00O (Mexican) yearly. But since the American occupation the Filipino tenants have paid little or no rent. The governments purpose now is to pur- chase the lands from the orders and sell them to the tenants for small yearly payments. It is estimated that the cost to the government in the transaction will be about $4,500,000.

A monopoly of the oyster beds of England has made it possible to limit the supply artifically in order to keep the price up. Now it is reported that the thousands of available acres along the foreshore of the Wash" are to be distributed in fve-acre allotments, making it possible for large numbers of people to cultivate the oysters on a small scale, and it is hoped that in this way a highly esteemed luxury may be brought within the reach of the poorer classes.

The interesting and consoling fact is recalled that when Queen Victoria was crowned Benjamin Disraeli wrote: I must give up going to the coronation, as all the members of Parliament must be in court dresses or uniforms, and l can't afford to buy any. I console my self with the conviction that to get up at o'clock to sit dressed like flunky in Westminster Abbey for seven or eight hours, and to listen to a sermon by the bishop of London are treats which can be missed with fortitude.

H0BS0N WOULD INCREASE
NAVY'S APPROPRIATIONS
The Captain Has a Word as to What
He Is Advocating.

CHICAGO, Aug. S-"The increase of
the United States navy in order to make
it the largest in the world is what am
advocating in my lectures before the
people said Capt Richmond Pearson
Hobson. "and I have the approval of

The reason why our navy should be
changed is that our country is destined
10 become the greatest OF all the world
powers
The plan I am advocating is TO make
the appropriations for the navy $4,000. 600
more at each successive appropriation"
AT that rate. Captain HObson, how
long would il take for the United States
