Allen Doone, the popular Irish come dian, and Joseph Murphy's company will appear at the New Haven Theatre next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, December IS, 19 and 20, in Jo- seph Murphy's famous play the Kerry Cow" MT.

Murphy has surrounded Allen Doone with a strong company, original Irish scenery and guarantees grand production of the Kerry Cow"

GOVERNMENT AND RAILROADS.

The New York Journal of Commerce
 has been grasped by the idea that close
 after government rate-making will
 come inevitably government ownership of railroads. It is to be considered,
 therefore, our contemporary thinks, whether the record of government en-
 terprises in the current year encour- ages hope of good results from wide extension of such enterprises. The
 drawbacks of private management ara conceded; it is to be decided whether
 the conversion of a private enterprise into public enterprise infuses into it new virtue, integrity, industry and effl- ciency. Recent developments, the Jour- nal holds, tend to the Encouragement of admirers of government industrial enterprises. The crop report service
 has gone wrong, it is said, the desire of graft leading officials to sell valuable information and ''inflict serious damage upon 8 section of the community to serve their own ends." Even official scientists have been unable to avoid misusing information obtained in the public service at the publics expense. If scientific information of commercial value seems inevitably to find it's way to the market what will happen when government officials have access to bus mess information affecting railroads worth $11,0OO, 100000 or industries worth as much more? It is to be feared that graft, instead of being, as now, a timid and apologetic thing, would, with these wider opportunities, boldly take the helm of affairs and dominate public business. Inquiries now in progress in Washington as to the business in a number of bureaus have already proved the unfitness of considerable numbers of officials to sustain the public trusts with which they are charged.
 Perhaps the addition of a railroad bureau to the existing government bu- reaus wouldn't help matters much.
