Foolish Scolding.

A Cleveland bond house took advantage
Of the Minneapolis bond sale the other
day to read Minnesota a little lesson. Re-
ferring to the present disturbances in the
stock and bond market the critic charged
that Minnesota was largely responsible
for present conditions since 1t had done
so much to precipitate the merger decision
to which the self -appointed mentor attrtb-
uted the Wall street trouble.
In the same non sequitur fashion the
New York Sun. is attacking President
Roosevelt. All Of Wall streets well-de-
served troubles are laid at his door.
President Roosevelt was responsible, the
Sun says, for the antitrust campaign and
it was the anti-trust campaign with it's
triumphant culmina ton in the decision Of
the circuit court of appeals that caused
the Wall street downfall.
This sort Of criticism, whether from the
petulant Cleveland bond dealer. or the
plutocratic Sun, is about as reasonable
as to say that the hangman Is responsible
for the death of man convicted Of muir
der. It is true that President Roosevelt
was the fundamentally by which punish
! ment was administered to all those per-
| sons who have been recklessly capitaliz-
ing the prosperity Of the country for thei,
own selfish purposes, without thought
Of others or the day Of reckoning to come

had not been for the president. Likewise
the murderer might have enjoyed Longer

"GEE WHlZo REMINDED.


 That There Is An Authority Higher
 Than the Railroad Commissioners. Editor Evening Democrat:
 Permit me to inform Gee WhiZ, Z,' who aired himself on trolley matters ill last nights American, that if he had read his evening paper regularly the past year or two he would not think that the city has no power to impose conditions on the trolley company other than the grade and whether the cars shall run in the center of the street or close to the sidewalk. To be sure all the trolley company's attorneys hold up this bluff to public officials, but so far none of them has made it good. Colonel Burpee told the aldermen and the board of public works something to this effect few months ago and he actually tried to prove it by an appeal to the railroad commissioners, who gave him what he wanted. Was that the end of it? Not by any means. The city appealed to a higher court than the railroad commissioners, and if you notice Colonel Burpee is not over anx- 1ous to try conclusions on the merits of the case before a judge of the su- preme court, and for this same reason you do not hear much about the Oak vile trestle squabble these times.
 The company also set up the claim that the city had no power to impose conditions for turnouts such as it de sired to lay on Norln Main street A judge of the superior court has decided that the city has power to impose req sonab1e conditions, and a decision to that effect is on file in the office of the city attorney. Gee Whiz'' tells us that this is not so Which is the better authority, Gee W:hiz'' or a judge of the superior court?
 A couple of years ago the city and the trolley had tilt about conditions for approval of plans on the Watertown road. The company laid the rails with out any warrant of law and then set up the claim that because they were laid and the people wanted the service nothing should be said about it. Mayor Kilduff told George E. Terry and MT Sowell that they had their choice to take up the rails, and leave the street in as good condition as they found it, build retaining wall along the Nauga- tuck river at an expense of about $30,- GOO or take the case to the courts, add ing that he supposed the company would prefer the least of the three evils, that of constructing the wall. MT Terry laughed and inquired if his honor thought the company was crazy. Then they started the rumor that owing to tlAilduff's s piggishness' they would have to tear up the rails. Did they do it: No, sir. After they saw they couldn't hoodwink the people and get the tax payers to pay for the wall instead of 1 themselves, they accepted the condi- tions and the wall has since been built and the tracks removed out of the cen ter of the street.
 l How does Gee Whiz'' account for all this, if the city has no power to impose conditions? Can it be possible that '.Gee Whiz" wishes to have us be lieve that the trolley people have been lowing their heads to the city govern ment for the sake of peace?

PRICE OF COAL.
What It Is Offered for at Mines in
 Pennsylvania.

What It Is Offered Tor at Mines III
 Pennsylvania.
 A prominent Hartford mercantile firm. which had handled coal during the winter, has received the following self-explanatofy letter:
 ssPittston, Pa, Feb ', 1903.
 .sGentlemen: I can ship you four or five cars of egg, stove and nut, coal at $4.25, gross ton, f. o. b. Please let me know as soon as possible whether you can use. Yours, T.sJ. GILLIGAN,
 ssNo 9 Buckingham Street" The freight on the coal would amount to $1.6 50 a ton, which would place it in the freight yards in Hartford at a cost of S6.S5. The expense of unloading and of carting which would be incurred in that city would add, possibly, $1.5O more to the cost of the coal. At this the dealer would gain on each ton han died, as the price made at the mines is on a long ton of 2,240 pounds. while the Hartford consumer pays for and presumably gets ton of 2,o00 pounds.
