Whatver may be thought of MT Bryan's political principles, his personal rela- ton to practical politics has been nota= bly clean and upright. There is no stain of gang methods, of ballot box manipulation or of connection with leg lslatlye Hobbies on his good name. The moral differences between the two men have aggravated their political distrust and dislike of each other. It is safe to say that if MT Germans candidacy ever passes beyond the good natured conjectures of the Washington cor respondents Mir Bryan will place it upon his black list with even more heartiness than he showed when he disposed of the candidates of Cleye- land, Hill, Olney and Shepard. In the case of MT German he would have the sympathy of the public. In other re spects we guess the public has become a little tired of Mir Bryans black list. The sporting instinct in the American people demands that there shallsbe a EGdl GQHl6SL TOT lHG pIGsluSuSS aAA A'AA Bryan Is doing his best to prevent this. He is spelling the game As fast as a candidate is proposed MT Bryan bowls him over. He has eliminated all the prominent eastern men except Judge Parker, and there are no proml- nent candidates in the west unless MT Bryan himself is a candidate He says not, but many people are unklnd enough to think that by process or elimination he is tr ing to convince the party that he is the only choice possl- ble. He insinuates much without say ing anything direct against Judge Far ker, The impression left by hls speeches and interviews is that he re- gards the judge as a tool of D. $. Hill and as an agent of Wall street. MT Bryan's advice still carries much weight among western democrats, but his friends would do we'll to point out to him that the role of watchdog of the party is popular only when played with moderation. It doesn't do to bark all the time. A majority of democrats, like a majority of republicans, want to win. Thus far Mir Bryan has only shown them how he thinks they can lose"

TAXES THAT ARE NOT NEEDED,

What Is the state uf Conneclieut going lo uo lth Us surplus noney.
 Lt,sL eef ialSe amount u4 the stales lAutDteuness Was pa1d uI,, au-4 there IS money enough ou nauu now
 to make large paynicnI Ill iJU5. 1l.e
 WluuIall or 94oU,UVv lrolu Lne uaIionai government ta1ter pay1ug rees) goes 10 swell tne surplus, auu Will haslen the aay When the slale VIII be enIMely tree lIum deUL.
 Within a comparatively brief period, Ii all present sources uI revenue are continued, the sIale will receive eacn year nearly a million or dollars in ex- cess of the amount now required for state expenses. IL is not beneyed by
 anybody that the states interests are neglected now. It is true that we might eApend u good deal more money on scientlllc roau making than we do-- say half a million dollars year in- stead of less than a quarter of a mill lion a year. But Ssuch an increase as that would not half consume the pros pactive surplus.
 The true policy for the state, of
 course, is to begin soon to cut down the revenue, to lop off needless and ex- | cessive taxes. The state collected last 1 year something like half a million of dollars in taxes from the savings banks i of the state. If the banks had not been
 required to pay this tax they might have kept their interest rate to the.r | depositors at least half of l per cent higher than it is.
 With more than half a million of an- nual surplus in the state treasury it looks to us as if the savings banks tax
 ought to be abolished. The maintenance
 of that tax cannot fail to discourage
 the residents of the state from placing 1 their earnings on deposit with these banks. The idea behind the savings
 bank tax is that thrift ought to be made
 to "come down." or "pay up,'' wherever i you find it. Every dollar that is in
 vested by savings bank goes into property that is thoroughly taxed, and ! thus We get double taxation. The sav- 1 ings bank tax is practically an income | tax, paid by saving and thrifty persons l for the benefit of those who cannot or
 do not have any money to deposit in such institutions.
 l Why wouldn't it be q wise policy for
 the present legislature to abolish the 1 tax on savings bank deposits? The 1 state could now get along very com- 1 fortably without this part of its in- come If the law makers of Connecti- cut wish for .an opportunit., to do q
 wise and popular thing, we have shown | them that it is right at hand. Hartford l Times

UNIVERSITY AS AID TO SUCCESS.

Of course it will not dofto count ad-
 yersity among the necessary requisites
 to 1ife's success. We have seen many l win notable successes whose paths
 were smooth and easy and whose op-
 portunities placed the rewards of effort l within their comfortable reach. It ] must nevertheless be confessed that these are the favored ones, who consti- tute but small minority of those who enter in the race for success. r l propose to deal with the great ma jority, who, in their efforts to reach the ties and diversity.
 We see among these such a large pro- portion who have won, and who. oil their way to greatness, fame and wealth. have overcome obstacles, that we are apt to uneonsciously look upon these obstacles as in themselves help
 full factors in building up success. A moments reflection, however, pre- sents them in their true light as being, : in their unadulterated condition, ugly and troublesome hindrances. It is only !, when, by the chemistry of God, they are mixed with certain other clements ! and are subjected to the action of cer- l; tain solvents that they may be trans muted to useful 'stimulants in mans highest and best efforts.
 He who, seeking success, finds ad-
 versity in his path, must, if he is to l win, bring to his encounter with this l opposing force, determination, persist ence and unfiagging courage. 1 These will not permit him to fall. h. stead of this, they will urge him to brave resistance, and force him to stern istruggle, and thus he will be so 1 strengthened in his moral and mental sinews and so developed in the mts- l cles of his character, that he will not
 only win in the battle immediately 1 pressed upon him. but will gain "a training and fitness promising future 1 triumphs in the arena of high achieve ments.
 In starting an account with adversi- l ty, if something on this score is put in l the credit column, we should not forget
 to charge against it the destruction ot those weak and timorous souls who in I adyersity's onrush have been over l whelmed and lost on the field of strug- I gle
 With all this before us, if we would l justly determine the state of our ac. count with diversity, we must strike
 balance between the value of those
 lost, because too timid, or too feeble,
 or too irresolute to fight to a finish,
 and those saved, who, brave, strong
 and unconauerable, have not only won l their battle with adversity, but have l brought from the encounter into the l worlds activities stout hearts and sturdy arms, fit to challenge any emer- gency of daring advance and enter l prise.
 The timid and weak that are lost can we'll be spared. The brave who win 1 the fight are saved for great and noble things.
 Let us not seek to avoid the results l of the balance; let us frankly confess l the forbidding and hostile elements of adversity may become. in favorable combination and solution, powerful agency in the production of mans best
 success.-Grover Cleveland in the New York World

For the past eight years, says writ CT in Pearson's Magazine, women have served as state superintendents Of public instruction, county superin- tendents of schools. state librarians. and few as city and county clerks, and city and county treasurers. AL most without exception their adminis- trations have been an honor to the state and a notice to the world that, given the opportunity and education that comes from responsibility, wo- men may achieve success in any posi. tion to which duty calls them. The present state superintendent of public instruction in Colorado, Mrs Helen l., Grenfell, who has become a national figure in school work. is now serving her third term. She has had the en- yiable distinction of being the only state officer elected this year on the democratic ticket. This emphatic en. dorsement by the people coming, as ii did, from the united educational vote and from the members of all parties In the state, ratified the opinion of all ex-governor of Colorado when he said. Mrs Grenfell is the best state officer Colorado ever had"

THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 1903.

Before the PharaOhs, says writer on economic questions, men invented rational way of settling quarrels. They saw that disinterested third party could settle quarrel more just Iy than two angry disputants whose logic was brute force. The invention of a judge promoted civilization more than the invention of a wheel. It is very evident the trolley company has no use for the disinterested third per son in it's trouble with labor in this city. It has absolutely refused from the very start to arbitrate.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-03-19

The following facts and statistics were compiled by one who is opposed to war, and who would much prefer to see all disputes, national and otherwise. settled by arbitration: "A million dol- lar bills packed solidly like leaves in q book make q pile 2T5 feet high. One thousand million dollars, the price which Europe annually pays for arma- ments in time of peace, equal pile of dollar bills over fifty-two miles high This expenditure for the supposed pre-, vention of war represents 100000 days labor at $1 day, and this, be ii remembered, every year to enable each nation merely to hold it's own. A sec. ond pile of dollar bills over tifty-twC miles high represents the annual pay ment for interest and other costs oi past wars. To these inconceiyably large amounts must be added the earn ings of the millions of able bodied men in army and navy who are withdrawn from productive industries and are sup ported by taxed peoples. Since 1856 the population of the world has dou bled; it's indebtedness, chiefly for war purposes, has quadrupled. It was eight billions fifty years ago; it is thirtyztwc billions to-day. The year 1900 added nearly another thousand millions to the war debt of the world. This about equals the annual cost of boots, shoes and bread in the United States"
