 It is to be hoped that the congres. sional elections will return house strongly republican or strongly demo- cratic. An evenly divided chamber Is bad for the country, for it encourages each party to pursue q vacillating pol icy, is accompanied hy serious uncer- tainty of responsibility, and enables each party to blame the other for all sins of commission or omission.

Whatever possessed those members of the county committee to go out to the Rranfard Driving park to hold the convention. It is three miles from Rranfprd. with no way of getting there except by team. "Bob' McGrath can hardly be blamed for kicking against that. Waterbury or New da- ven should, have the convention, with the preference in favor of. the former. Our advice to the committee Is to get together at. once Two conventions may look all right on paper, but 1t will not help either of the three democratic candidates and it may throw the plum right into Sheriff Dunham's net, h another column of this paper will be found a cali issued by Robert Mc- Grath, so it looks as though he means business.

Pittsburg People Not surprised.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 27.-The sudden and sensational turn of affairs in the contest at Long Branch, N. J., of the will of the late Henry M. Bennett by Laura Edgar did not surprise those in Pittsburg who, with Miss Biggar, were beneficiaries under the will Tn behalf of Miss Biggar it is stated that since the death of MT. Bennett her condition has not been such as to allow of her being held responsible for her own ac- tions. Notwithstanding this, however, 1t Is believed here that Miss Biggar's action in contesting the will in which 1t was stipulated that all contestants would lose their share of the estate, will deprive her of what Mir. Bennett really meant she should have, MT. Bennett as the former owner of the Bi- jou, theater and Miss Biggar as an 'ac- tress familiar on the local boards and the constant companion of Bennett were well known to many persons in this city. Miss Biggar and Mir. Bennett first met in this city in May, 1892, when she appeared at the Bijou as Iza in ''The Clemenceau Case" Mir. Ben- nett lost his wife in 1870, and from that time on he and Miss Biggar were close associates. During MT. Bennett's illness ill the fall of 1900, when 1t be- came necessary to amputate one of his legs, Miss Riggar was his constant at tendant and nurse, and he insisted on having her near him all the time.

might absorb all tue profits Of rner industry. Then the great combina- ton of steamship and railroad lines under Mir Morgan has focused the worlds attention upon the American growth of such combinations, and has led to comments from Europe that have rubbed the evil into the Ameri- can mind. Next came the rise in the price of meat, which was believed to be far beyond what was necessitated by the increased cost of corn for fat tening cattle. And last comes the combination Of railroads and mining companies, which, by refusing arhi- tration, has cut off the supply of hard coal from our eastern states and cities, and has subjected the country to thousand inconveniences. The public has come to see in these things the beginning of harvest which the capitalists of America have been sow ing for HIS, and they want no more of it. They naturally fear that, as time passes, we shall see still worse things. and that the day is not far distant when the very necessaries of exist ence may be forced up to starvation prices for rich and poor"

The democratic platform adopted Ut New Haven, and printed i'll convenient form in this issue for future refer- ence, comments itself to every voter that believes in fair play. 1t is not for the trusts or the combines, but for the masses, the men who never seem to get only so far in life, struggle as they may, and all because the heavy hand of some combination reg ulates the pay he earns, as we'll as the price he pays for his meat and coal. We advise everyone to famil- iarize himself with the platform. It is short and to the point and will not take up much time of the busy read, CTS, tlle ones who have the power to change the conditions of affairs, if they but act unitedly. Not only the plat form but the candidates should be studied, and tbe more one scans the makeup of the democratic ticket the more pleased he will be. It is with out doubt the strongest ticket placed before the people of the old common wealth for many years, and if the peo- pie, of Connecticut study their own interests. they will elect every man on it by Pousing majorities, Melbert D. Cary, who leads the ticket, and against whom the republicans will concentrate all their power, financial ly, machine and otherwise, is a gen tleman in whom the people irrespect- i've of party or creed, that know him. place implicit confidence. He is democrat after the heart of the most Jefrersonian democrat that exists He believes in giving every man ms rights. and when he is placed in the governors chair he will see to 1t that he gets it, in so far. as lies in his power He is a, man whom all classes gan flock to, for he is honest and sincere in all his dealings with men and sup- iects. and will make for Connecticut il model governor.

Owing 10 the necessity of abandon ing his trip, the president delivered at Logansport, Ind, the speech which he had prepared, for delivery at Milwni- kee and. which. was looked to as I flF- ther elucidation of his position in re- gard to the tariff. While his state ments on the subject were, in the main, conservative, the democrats are already objecting to his assumption that athe nation as a whole has gener- ally acquiesced in the protective pol icy.s Although Mir Roosevelt did not use the word commission, his proposi- ton may be briefly expressed as favor ing q non- partisan commission which should supervise the revision of the tariff and he implied that asuch ma chinery," as he termed it, could exer- else a constant supervision of tue tar if and make such recommendations to congress as the development of the various protected industries warranted
 1t is regarded as extremely likely that the president avoided using the term acommission" for the reason that he had in mind the creation, in the near future. of department of commerce along lines which would permit it to exercise the supervision he outlined

Dr. Humphreys Dead.

PRINCETON. N. J., Sept. 27.-Dr. Willard Humphreys, head of the de- partment of German in the university, who on Sunday night took an overdose of chloral hydrate in an effort to gain relief from 8 severe headache, is dead at his home. on Bayard lane, Since Monday morning three physicians and several assistants employed their skill to save the unfortunate professor. Ar tificial respiration was carried on con- tinuously for thirty-six hours before he could breathe spontaneously at all and for six hours more before it was safe to omit 1t. The heart, which had been overpowered by the poison, failed to respond properly. and Thursday he suf- fered relapse and sank again into un- consciousness.

There is considerable gossip in Washington in regard to the probabll- ity of an extra session of congress to be called immediately after the expira- ton of the fifty-seventh congress, next March. This gossip can be traced to certain remarks made by some of the gentlemen who were present at the Oyster Bay conference. It is said that there will be no time during the short session for the consideration of the general subject of reciprocity and some predict that even Cuban reciproc- ity will be permitted to Ego aver," The fifty-eighth congress- on the other hand, would have ample time before it, it's members would presumably fa- vor the granting of reciprocal conees- sion to Cuba and will possibly be in more general harmony with the views of the president than the fifty-seventh. It is probable that it will become ne- cessary to take some. steps towards trust legislation, and that also is re- garfied as too big subject to be prop eriy dealt with during the short ses- sion. If it is determined to make any changes in the tariff, bill could be re- ferred to the ways and means com mittee during the extra session with instructions to make thorough inves- tigation during the summer recess and report the following December, It is stated that Senator AIdrich reported to the president his willingness to sanction such a program.

Death In a Runaway Car.

ITHACA. N.

There were no passengers on the runaway car, and every one on the waiting ear had time to leave before the crash came.

sufficient and there seems to be ample
room for all prisoners likely to be
confined in said jail
We visited all of the county officers
and find that all of said offices are
conducted in good and efficient man
ner by tt oroughly competent officials
all of whom we believe are performing
their duties strictly according to law.

commissioners who were in session
and the said board of county COM
missioners deserve great credit for
faithful services which they are
rendering to the citizens of the
comfy.

jury unanimously voted a vote of
thanks to the county attorney, w. F.
Donohue, for the courtesies extended
by him to the grand jury during this

Some of the features of the great

performers appear. illuminations, pa.
rades, and some distinctiue carnival
features for each day, such as baby
shows, automobile races, Mardi
