The discussion about bolters, gold democrats and anarchists now going on between the Hartford Times and New Haven Union is interesting even if it is ancient history. The Times still holds to it's opinion that Troup once upon a time bolted the democratic ticket and assisted the republicans in putting in office the men who were on the state ticket of that party. It fur ther says: "Now, it seems to us that it does not matter so very much just how long Brother Troup was engaged in the republican service in Con1ecti- cut, for every man who opposed the democratic candidates in the years from 1870 to 1880 did help the republi- cans. We fail to see that there is any merit in an eight or ten year bolt that cannot be found in a two or four year bolt We merely wish to recall the democratic party, and contributing ma terially to that result, MT Troup was received back into the party and eager ly accepted at the earliest opportunity from a sound money democrat one of the best federal offices in the state. It seems to Us incongruous for our New Haven friend to~ be so very severe against bolters at the present time, and to be so censorious of Colonel Bryan for his willingness to help elect sound money democrat to a federal office in Ohio. We observe that MT Troup is very particular now to ex- press his hostility to the idea that man who has antagonized the policy or a party should subsequently, be allowed to hold any office within the gift of the party. and we merely wish to remind him that he did not feel that way about it in 1885. Whether he was bolter, or a come-outer, or whateSe" his political status in the years when he helped defeat the democratic candl- dates in Connecticut, and to keep so good 2. man as R. D. Hubbard out O. the governors chair, it seems to us that his acceptance of that intern Il revenue collectorship from President Cleveland in 1885 renders necessary certain leniency and liberality on the nart of MT Troup in drawing the lines against those ho did not sup nort the democratic candidate for pres ident in 1896 or in 1900. Moreover, we o1 b,rnan Tn know of any COnnec- ticut democrat who was lukewarm or opposed to the party leadership in t"ose years who is seeking federal office tt the present time"

HOW DEPARTMENT STORES
Serve to Open Careers to Those Who
 Begin With Them

Serve to Open Careers to Those Who Begin With Them.
 There could be no more better proof of the vital health of the department store than the way in which it opens careers, instead of closing them. It has enormously enlarged the arena within which ability becomes visible. By doing this it shortens the path for ability. Opening channels for special 1zed talent, it lessens the worst of all Wastes-the waste of business failure. IT you know well for many years the staff of one of these big establishments you come to see under how heavy a handicap labors the man able in some special ffeld-who has an instinct akin to genius in Persian rugs or precious stones, in shoes or in dry goods, in buy ing goods or selling them-when in the small store, beside exercising his spe- cial gift, he has to waste himself on the multifarious duties of mere store keeping for which he is not fitted. Specialization of human function is carried as far in well-organized de- partment store as in an army.
 Doubtless there is a loss of what is called personal Independence. So in an army. But which is really the freer man in the highest of human freedom, the exercise of special gift -the chief Of a savage tribe of a thousand warriors or the colonel of a regiment in a modern army corps, and which has the better chance to be seen. known and win Booklovers' Magazine.

AVOIDING THE QUARANTINE.
Express Trains Shoot Through Mexi-
 co.'s Second City.

Express Trains Shoot Through Mexi-
 co.'s Second City.
 No through trains on the National stop at Monterey. Until further orders are given to countermand those which go into effect to-day, trains No 1 and 2 the through fast passenger trains, will whirl at rull speed through Monterey, the capital of Nuevo Leon, the second commercial city in the republic, as though pursued by a pestilence. Un- doubtedly this is one of the most unique cases on record of a city Of some SO,O00 inhabitants being summed by the trains of great trunk line. People will stand about the big, hand some depot at Monterey, not to take the trains, but to witness the novel sight of one of the Nationals new broad gauge trains pulled by one Of the biggest and speediest locomotives built, dash through the city like an au tomobilist coming into the home stretch Of great road race. But in the world of business, and especially with the railroads, nothing Is ever done without very good cause. Immediately on learning that the Tex as state medical authorities and the United States marine board of health inspectors had ordered quarantine at all points along the Rio Grande against Monterey, on account of the yellow fever at Tampico, the National railway immediately sought and ob- tained from the department of com munications of the federal govern ment permission for the putting into effect of train schedule calculated to obviate the difficulty at the border for travellers going to the states by that road.
 The scheme is this Through trains No. 1 and 2 will cut Monterey entire ly out of their schedule. As far as these trains are concerned it will be wiped completely off the map of Mex ico. From Saltilo fOS kilometers this side of Monterey, to Lampazos, 153 kill ometers north of Monterey, there will be no stops. The trains will run through Monterey, to be sure at safe rate of speed, but under no circum- ces will passengers be taken on in the prescribed district marked by the stations. The engines will carry plen- ty of coal for the run, and tank car behind the tender will ensure suf- ficfency of water. Tn this way the through trains will handle no Monte rey traffic, and at their arrival at the border there will be no excuse for any sort of quarantine. It is not to be sup posed, however, that the Monterey and local traffic will be neglected, as !. the regular day trains running between Saltillo and the border will be neg lected, as the regular day trains run ming between Saltillo and Laredo will handle all of this traffic and carry pas sengers north and south from Monte rey, subject to the quarantine at the border which the through trains es- cape by the provision described.-Mex- ican Herald.

Clarence Douglas, who was sum- mari1y dismissed from the position of clerk in the Indian agents office at Muskogee by Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock, in an interview with q Washington correspondent, had the fol that MT Hitchcock is honest and that he is doing what he believes to be for the best interests of the people of the Territory. The trouble is that he is afflicted with a serious case of too much J.

Un- til there is a radical change in the man agement of affairs there will be no re- lief for the 100000 people in the Indian Territory from the deplorable condi- tions existing at this time. From in formation received since have been in this city my opinion is a radical change is imminent and that the pulse of the people of the Territory will no longer be taken from the wrist hitherto used for this purpose. With almost a thousand appointees placed by the sec retary on the recommendation Of the house and senate members having in charge all Indian legislation, it can readily be seen what opposition Ter ritory man must encounter in his effort to secure congressional action, for any change means that some pet of a con- gressman loses a job, and that is the milk ill a cocoanut- The remedy for the present situation is an act of con- gress providing for a delegate from the Indian Territory elected by the people to legislate for the people, and the complete abolition of the carpetbag regime"

PIPES FOR CADETS.
West Pointers Grateful for Order Is-
 sued by Colonel Mills.


 The cadets of the United States Mili- tary academy are no longer prohibited from smoking. As Friday evenings parade was about to end, and just as the adjutant was preparing to read the 'tskin list'' the officer in charge handed him an order to read. It said that pipes and tobacco would be pro- curable in future at the cadet store, and that smoking would be allowed in quarters during recreation hours as well as in the outdoor court included by the quadrangular barracks.
 The cadets almost all of whom are said to have smoked on the sly, despite the severe punishments inflicted for the offense, were enthusiastic over the or der. None of them had suspected plan for such an innovation but it was learned later that the superintend- ent, Colonel Mills, made the change af- ter obtaining the consent of Secretary of War Root several weeks ago. The ''Supe," as the cadets call Colonel Mills. always has been popular with many Of the corps, but now all hands are singing his praises.
 While it has been noticed that the sudden freedom has caused an undue amount of smoking at first, the army officers at the post are confident the | final result will be good. Col. Mills hopes to lessen cigarette smoking by allowing pipes, for, with the latter easy to obtain and the former only to be imported with great difficulty, it is argued that the smokers of the corps will grow fond of pipes, Neither cigarettes nor cigars are to be sold at the store.
 There was a rule more irksome to the cadets than the anti-smoking reg ulation. and those whose duty it was to report infractions have been known to go to the extent of "skinning" q smoker because of tobacco odors de- tected in the culprit's room. The vic tim of the report used to be placed on punishment tours" or made to walk for hours with a gun on his shoulder for many days in succession, and not very long ago the corps was given to understand that the practice of secret smoking had reached a point where the authorities might expel the next cadet caught in the act The pun ishment tours'' in each case were ac- companied by demerits, and with the more incorrigible smokers it often hap pened that nearly all the leisure hours of term would be spent 'on the area"
 The only restriction on the pipe smokers is that they must do their smoking within barrack limits.

The strong point in Colonial Secre- tary Chamberlainfs plea on the tariff question and protection of home in dustries and markets, says one writer, is it's appeal to the fighting instincts of the British people. He argues that the purely passive attitude of Great Britain toward the commercial move ment has resulted in insolent discrim nations against both the mother coun- try and the colonies. He especially ap- peals to the popular detestation of Ger many by pointing out that that coun- try threatened to retaliate upon Can ada for levying heavier duties upon German than upon British goods. This is the argument of the fair trade party, upon which MT Chamberlain once poured bis scorn. And it takes so well that even the free traders in England are divided upon the question. To a consistent free trader nothing matters sumer. and, therefore, he is debarred from any sort of retaliation which may put up prices. He argued for allowing the beet-root sugar manufacturers of the continent to destroy the sugar re- fning of Great Britain by export boun- ties, because after all this meant that the consumer would get his sugar cheaper. A real free trader can only sit with his hands in his lap when a native industry is threatened in this way. He has no weapon to fight it. Some English free traders, however, are weakening on this point and say that retaliation is quite another thing from protection. It is but recently that they have learned to make any such distinction, as they met the fair trade arguments with perfect scorn a few years back. They are now forgetting their own doctrine that ''the interest of the producer is only class interest. while the interest of the consumer is that of society, and is the only in terest with which government can concern itselfo They are ready to have the government antagonize those whe antagonize the interests of English pro-
