TT MAKES A DIFFERENCE WHOSE
 OK IS GORED.

Between the riotous actions of the crowd of hoodlums and strike sylnpa- tif1zers at Bridgeport on Sunday and the violent and laWless demonstrations authorized and encouraged by the high. officials of the Old Colony street rail- way at Newport the week before there was not an atomfof difference In both cases law and order, the good name of a city and the rights of decent citizens were trampled under foot-in the one case by misrepresentatives of labor and in the other by misrepresentatives of capital. The outbreak at Bridge port aroused state wide indignation, while the anarchism of capital at New port caused hardly a ripple of interest, Yet both merited equal condemnation and condign punishment. The stone throwers of Bridgeport were bound over to the superior court under heavy bonds. The instigators of the Newport riot there was no attempt to punish, The lesson from the comparative study of the two cases is obvious. It should be. made as dangerous for capital to violate the law as for labor. But it never is.-New Britain Herald.

MULvIHlLL ROUNDED.

1n last evenings Hartford Times a long editorial on the Bridgeport case appeared. The first paragraph reads as follows:
 ''When Mir Mulvihil1 was elected mayor of Bridgeport, the old-time po- litical managers felt that they had been slapped in the face. That was the intention of most of those who. voted for him. They were tired of the way things had been done and of the men who did them. MT Mulvihil1 had been a fireman in the engine room of factory. He had also served as alderman, and was regarded as an ob- stinate, honest man, who would be a thorn In the sides of the dominant faction if he were elected. He has been all that. but they have also goad- ed him pretty thoroughly For some time the mention of his name in Bridgeport has been synonymous with trouble of some sort. It is this condi- tion which makes it so difficult to learn the truth about what he did during Sundays riot over the attempt to run street cars with non-union men. Most of the newspapers and correspondents sympathfze with the political and so- ciaI element that was defeated when Mulvihill was elected Their ac- counts are. dead against him. But this information comes from one very small hostile group. The other yer sion seems to have about as much real evidence in its favor. but it has not f been told once in public where the oth- CT has twenty times. After some eff fort to learn whether Mayor AfI1lvihill did or did not encourage the rioters, we admit that we find 1t impossible, and add for the benefit of all concerned our conviction that the more one ex- amines the situation dfspassionately the harder he will find it to reach a definite conclusion''

Speaking of the outlook for forestry in this country, the bureau of forestry of the agricultural department says that it is not necessary to turn to sta tisticsfor proof that the supply of cer- tain kinds of valuable timber trees of others Is practically gone, and of still others has entirely vanished as a fac tor in the lumber market. For exam pie, ten years ago the use of balsam in the manufacture of paper pulp was practically unknown. The eastern hemlock is now valuable for it's tim Der as well as for its bark. A more modern instance is the gradual rise in Importance of the western hemlock, until very recently altogether discredit- ed as timber tree, although in fact Of great commercial importance. The red fir of the northwest and the south ern pines are rapidly invading markets formerly controlled altogether by the white pine of the north central states,
 
 as black walnut and black cherry, have practically vanished from the market in the grades which once were com mon. The southern pines are being de- stroyed with rapidity which finds it's parallel only in the case of northern white pine. It is. true that the list of commercial timbers lengthens from year to year. Just as the balsam is taking the place of the spruce, so are substitutes coming in for other woods which no longer exist in sufficient quantity to supply the demand. But neither can this prove sufficient rem edy. The supply of the substitutes will be exhausted in its turn and the final situation will be worse than that which confronts us now. It is no longer question of methods, of nanu- facture, or of substitutes for exhausted supplies. The time for us to look after the trees themselves has in many cases already arrived.

It may not be a case of cause and effect, but it is at least worthy of note that following the strikes at Waterbury and Bridgeport come voluntary in creases of wages 10 trolley employees all over the state. Evidently there was some Justice in the strikers contention that they were underpaid New Brit ain Herald. x
 Justice! Why there barrelsful of it in Waterbury, and 1t Is presumed there is in Bridgeport also. It is . case of the strong crushing the weak, and spending more money to do it than would more than pay the increased wages asked for years. We are some what surprised at the very shortsight- edness displayed by the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co directors, our former fellow townsman, A. NJ. Young, among the number. Give employees wages enough and there will be no strikes.

THE WORLDS CRY FOR REST.

Everyone will admit that the wheels of the world run swiftly these days. Hardly week passes without cor respondent at some scene of action arl- nouncing that history has been made" Hardly month passes without the ap- pearance in society of some new ele ment that may be pregnant with great things. Hardly year without such changes in classes, masses or nations as may be clearly noted and described The hurry and confusion of a time of renaissance is always with us.
 The cry of rest rises most often from some community or class which is find ing the worlds pace too swift and which fears that it is being left behind in the race. Rarely is such a cry raised in behalf of all men of all na- tions and classes. Of this nature is an appeal of the Spectator in a recent ar ticle headed by the query, ''Will This Generation Restg'
 To prove the many sided phases Of the desire for period of rest the jour- nal writes, not without it's touches of sarcasm: "The statesmen certainly long for such period. for they are most of them elderly men, and besides distrusting much of what Is called progress. they are little bewildered by the fal-reaching effect of every thing they do. * The Christian churches confess the same desire for rest, for tranquility is one of their avowed ends; almost everything that happens annoys or menaces them, and amidst the roar of theological and ec- clesiastical controversy they have a sense of growing deaf. Com mercial men declare that something is always happening or being rumored or being invented, which bewilders them"
 And as to the thoughtful men i'll the background of society, they are made out to be even more pained, for they are said to find that the thoughts of men of to-day are like atoms of quick silver, whichfform no solid''; that char acters "are not buildings, but only sand heaps,'' and that literature produces everything except great poems, great dramas and great ideas.'
 And yet, the Spectator eonfesses, the statesmen continue to rush wildly for new territories, the churchnlen to strug- gle with rebellions against ecclesias- ticism, and the commercial men to hunger ravenously for further business conquests.
 The Spectator is without hope. For this generation it sees no sign of quiet, nor yet for the next. It finds. to sum up briefly. that the world is still too busy to know how weary it really is Chicago o-Record Herald.

FRIDAY, MAY p, 1903.

The Tracy incorporation bill, so called. met a happy death finally, and now reposes in the legislative waste basket at Hartford. With all due re- spect to the man who was back of the gun, 1t must be admitted that the scrap basket is 8 good place for the bill. There was no need of it. and Waterbury unions, at which it was di- rectly aimed, will be able to get along without 1t. It looks as though the committee that handled the affair gave Senator Tracy the merry ha ha, when he was not looking, and patted him on the back at the committee meetings. The senator is trifie new ill politics, too honest, perhaps, for the old stagers, but if he keeps in, the game long enough he will learn some things that he doesn't dream of now.

While the. president of the United States is loudly inveighing against cor. ruption in public and private life, the corruption in the postof1ce department being daily unearthed by the inyestiga- tion now proceeding smells to high heaven. It is the expressed opinion of many officials of the government that 1t would be the policy Of consistency for the president to return at once and see to it that the investigation Is made thorough and that. no guilty man es- capes the punishment which is his just due. The truth of the matter is that this investigation in the postofdce de partment is digging up more snakes than the administration can conven- iently kill, and the administration would like nothing better than to kill the investigation. When Postmaster General Payne returned from his trip among the West Indies Islands with Secretary Moody and others, he was amazed and terrified at what he found
 When he left and told Assistant Post master-G General Wynne to go ahead with the investigation he supposed nothing would be unearthed beyond 8 few irregularities which could be fixed by the suspension or discharge of a few scapegoats. s

LOW SHOES AND VANITY.
Evidence to Prove That One Attack

Evidence to Prove That One Attack
 on Women Is Not We'll Founded.
 Miss Keary contends that women who wear low shoes sacrifice health to vanity. She must be mistaken. Wo- men may be found by the tens of thou sands who wear low shoes and among these the vast majority are women who have passed the stage of vanity. They wear low shoes tor comfort
 As is yet to be proved that women who wear low shoes are more subject to colds than those who wear high shoes. As yet 1t is to be proved that. those who are constantly on their guard against what is called exposure live longer than those who do not care. When women not only survive a fickle climate, but come out of it's most try ing changes in clothing of a weight that men would hardly feel, it is diff cult to see how their health can suffer because they wear low shoes.
 Now take a man take the average man. He puts on five thfcknesses of clothtnr on a cold day. He is not con- tent if the temperature is below 75 in his office. He would not think of step ping across the street without putting on his oyercoat. In most eases he would not venture out without his nluffler and overshoes. And take that mans wife. She wears two or three thin thicknesses of clothing She don't mi ind Hoj T, Eox xxri1I faea4 Fl 10 blasts of winter with unconcern. In her home she will allow the furnace fire to get low. She will follow a caller to the door, out on the veranda, and talk, and talk, entirely unmindfu1 of wraps.
 Her husband takes colds-a1l kinds of colds-every kind that is going. He wonders why he takes cold. His wife is good enough to wonder with him. and tells him he must be more careful of himself Maybe she will insist that in addition to all of his other pre- cautions against exposure he shall wear a chest protector or a porous plaster. But she takes no colds. That is. she seldom does, and. if she does. ] she attributes the cold she takes, not l to carelessness, but to the fact that she has inadvertently undertaken to be too careful of herself.
 If she-or any other woman--fnds greater comfort in low than she does in high shoes, why blame her for wearing the former? Even if she 1 wears low shoes and openwork stock ings from pure vanity, why blame her? Are not the women of America healthy? Are they not strong? Are they not hardier than the men-as 1 rule? Then why not let them have their own way about low shoes open work stockings, and everything else that gives them comfort or pleasure Chicago Inter-Ocean.

It is urged that labor union should
 be held responsible for losses which might occur to others, as result of al strike which the members of the union
 might inaugurate, says Edgar B. Clark, grand chief conductor of the order of railway conductors Let us see. An
 industry is established at a point
 which necessitates building up settle
 ment or town around the works. In. the course of years many of the em-
 ployes purchase homes there with their
 savings. Others come in and establish
 themselves ill trades, dependent, of
 course, upon the patronage of the em-
 ployes of the industry which has made
 the town. Now comes the merger, or
 trust, which has gained control of the
 industries of that nature, and buys this
 particular factory or mill and decides
 that its effort to control the commodity
 demands that the establishment shall
 be closed indefinitely. The em- pIoyes' income is cut off entirely. His
 home Is of doubtful value, because he can neither sell nor rent it unless the factory or mill is operated. He must
 go elsewhere for employment. The tradesman's business is gone and he, too, must sacrifice much, or all. No one thinks of holding the corporation 1 legally liable for these losses. It has simply exercised its right to operate its property or. close it down as it chooses. On the other hand, the employees of that same industry believe that there are questions affecting their wages and terms of employment which need ad- l justing. The employer refuses to ad- 1 just them, and, perhaps, refuses to even talk with them about adjustment.
 The employees agree among themselves
 that they will retire from the service
 ill concert. They do so; the industry,
 of necessity, stops. The employer may
 not be able to get other employees and
 the revenues from operation are cut off from both employer and employe.
 Others who depend upon the output of
 that industry are inconyenienced and
 suffer loss. Will any one say that an

GRANDMA WON'T LIKE IT.

A story current in London indicates that Prince Edward of Wales, grand son of the king, is a keen observer for one of his tender years. A governess was telling him of the future life, when all men and women are to be equally happy. Young Edward con sidered for a minute and then asked: Shall we all, everybody. be just eq- ual?'' "Yes, all of us,'' Great grand ma and all?" referring to the late Queen Victoria. '.Yes, dear, even great t-grandmamma." To this Prince Edward replied with conviction: 1T am quite sure great grandma won't like that at all-quite sure.1
