pcrors, Zeno and Diocletian, and ancient
histories back to three hundred and
thirty years before Christ showing that
combinations to enhance the prices OF
grain and commodities existed then.
What" ne asked, does this indicated"
And he answered his own question, as
follows:
at simply indicates that so long as
civilization has been these conditions
have existed. 1t does not indicate that
they do not require control. 1t indicates,
further. that so long as these conditions
have existed they have had legislation UNI
dertaking to control and regulate them
in the interest of public welfare probably
from two Thousand three hundred years
before Christ down to the year 1905. 1t
does not indicate that if during all this
period legislation has not destroyed tho
octopus. it is futile, and attempts to reg
ulate and control it. should be abandoned,
any more than the fact that Cain MUIR
dored Abel. and since that time the law
has prohibited murder. and murders have
continued tt h' committed, indicates that
the law against murder should be repeal
cd rs ineffective. But it indicates this,
further that this is a difficult question
that it is one that involves business con-
ditions and that it persists; that it has
been with us as long as the past has been
and that its complete elimination is an
extremely difficult problem"
This last conclusion is one with which
all who have tackled the problem will
agree.

Deserved Tribute TO the Fair Sex.

One of the gratifying evidences of tho
increased refinement and higher civliza-
ton of the American people is the con-
stantly increasing courtesy and considera-
ton given to women, and that public ser
want who takes advantage of any OPP
portunity to emphasize the credit due
the fair sex is certain to receive general
commentators from both sexes. James
X. Garfield. who has just been appointed
chief of the bureau of corporations of
the newly created department of com
merce and labor. recently spoke or the
duties of citizenship. He showed that in
telliGercc. industry and moral character
arc the three qualities most essential to
good citizenship. and he took occasion
to speak of the obligation we owe to
woman in connection with the establish
ing Of the moral character of people
Mr.. Garfield declared that woman has
more influence for good in her sphere than
man can possibly WELD and he urged that
she make the most of her opportunities
and increase the power with which she
has been endowed for the uplifting of
humanity
Probably few of our most useful women
exert all the power of which they are
capable on the opposite sex. and it is
barely possible that one of their greatest
charms in the eyes of man is that this
reserve force is seldom brought into use
Man realizes the power is there. however,
and it Is not Improbable that this knowl-
edge makes him the more willing to be
led. 1t is a wise man who knows whether
he is being led or is leading a woman.

The Waterbury Asylum, and the Ac-
CidcDt to Mrs. Bennett.

We learn from an authoritative source
that one of the first things done by the
officials of the State asylum at Water
bury after the recent unfortunate occur
renee which resulted as has been al
legged, in the death of Mrs. Sarah G.
Bennett was to bring the matter to the
attention of the public prosecutor for the
town OF Waterbury, who is lawyer and
we'll Vcrsed in what is required under
such circumstances The relatives of
Mrs. Rennett were also Immediately no.
tilted OF the accident and investigated
the matter fully for themselves. The
board of trustees also made an investi-
cation as to whether it was an accident
and its cause, and they assisted the pub
lie prosecutor 50 far as they were able to
through the action of the hospital officials.
1t was deemed important on the part Of
the officers of the institution. before any
one left that was connected with that
accident. that the State should have an
opportunity TO ascertain where the re-
sponsibillty rested. and whether there
was such criminal Carclossness on the
part of any one as to justify or require
any further proceedings in the matter.
We have no idea that tho officials in
charge or the trustees, or any OF them,
were directly in fault in the matter or
that they have cndeavored to eXonorate
themselves from any just responsibility
resting upon them; and II the public has
derived a different idea from the pub
lished reports, we hope it may be dis
missed from their minds
