AN UNFORTUNATE CHOICE.

Among the men nominated by Pres
ident Roosevelt to be members of the
Isthmian Canal Commission is Benja-
min NJ. Harrod, of New Orleans. 1t
has been freely charged that Harrod
is a CRATER of the most malignant
type, and the Chairman Of the Rep
ublican State Central Committee made
a special trip to Washington to urge
the appointment of another man.
One of the stories told about Major
Harrods operations is this:
The Sewerage Committee OF the
City of New Orleans was engaged in
the prosecution of an enterprise for
the draining Of the City OF New Or
leans. Some 100000 was to be
spent in the work. Major B. NJ. Har-
rod was employed as chief engineer at
a large salary But some time after
the work was commenced, by sec
ret arrangements between the chief
engineer and the contractor, cheap
American cement, known as steel ce-
ment, known for a few years only,
was put in the work instead Of the
Portland cement, called for in the
contracts, and from that time Portland
cement was no longer used, if, indeed,
the secret bargaining was not made
in the beginning with the result that
the Portland cement never was used.
In the scandal that followed the discoy-
cry Major Harrod was forced to res
ign
When these charges were brought
to the attention of the Peresident he
ordered an investigation made and
announced that no proof had been
found of any improper conduct on
Harrod's part

as half as many preachers, yet we
have heard nothing Of stopping the
profession Of the law, although quite
buch Of that profession went to
pay penalties for crookedness, nor
have we seen one word in the papers
that preaching shall cease because
quite a number of their craft found
their way to a certain State Institu-
ton, and why we have been told that
labor organizations should cease to
have business officials because one
or two have gone wrong is a mystery
that needs further explanation.

AS TO STOCKS.

The Chicago Record-HeraId is au,
thority for the statement that during
tho 1aet srnar and a half fully fiftv cor.
porations capitalized at from $1,000
600 to s50000,0O0 each, have played
out completely. The writer of the az
ticle declares that he himself saw a
list of 2S7 corporations which have
busted or are on the ragged edge
Most Of these were organized in the
last four years. Their stock amount
ed to S5,S00,000,000 and their bonds
to s1,169, 100000 making a total Of
5000, 900 900, mostly in water, for the
writer says that the actual market
value was perhaps as much as %
cents on the dollar
Surely a man is not an arnichist
simply because he insists that there
be some law to prevent the public
from being swindled by bogus con-
Germs in such a wholesale manner.

This is a great country, surely, for before the election returns are all in, we are told that business has picked up and the wheels at the various fac tories are revolving more rapidly than ever, and the outlook is bright for an other run of republican prosperity. And with this also was flashed the news that the Standard Oil Go has raised the price of oil; that coal has gone up % cents ton and that flour is still selling at $7.50 a barrel. Poor, deluded mortals. We presume a whole lot of them will be marching behind the band tonight that haven't proper covering for their bodies, or food for their families, and they will shout and hurrah just as though they were enjoying 1t.

The prospects are for ari active and irregular market, with possibly wide fluctuations, says Banker Clews. High CT prices may prevail before the top is reached, but values are already on high level and the temptation to take profits is increasing A number of large traders have sold out and become bears for the time being; hence a di- vision of opinion occurs which works for irregularity and more active trad ing. Should the election give larger success to the republicans than anticf- pated the upward course of the mar ket may be renewed, if the event is not sufficiently discounted. On the oth- CT hand, should expectations in this respect not be realized, the effect will probably be detrlmental. Unfavorable bank statements and somewhat frmer money rates have been looked for, es- pecially as the government may reduce it's deposits in the banks, but not much disturbance is likely from this source, as funds withdrawn for crop purposes will soon be returning.

There are lot of alleged democrats in Waterbury that should be nailed to the mast at once and for everrnore. The party has no use for such men. They should get into the republican party at once and not be sailing under false colors. The treacherous work done in the fourth ward, as we'll as in one or two of the others, is enough to drive any party to the wall. Weed out the rotten blanks, even though it leaves the party without a roof to cover its head. It's better to go into the fight with a handful of tried and true men than with two hands full of an uncertainty. It's time to begin the work right now Look at the spectacle John T. Daily is making, man who set himself up as a leader. Look at the men he is duplicating in the nasty populist-republican mess, which was originated for personal gain by these men. Fire them out of the party. Let them form new one if they wish.
