 The printing of the House Journal has not been completed owing in part to the printers strike that is now in force through the state. The indeNtng by ttie house clerk, MT. John A. Spof- ford, is through with, the work having been carried out at MT. Spofford's home in Bridgeport. The index of the Senate Journal has been prepared by Mir. Alfred c. Baldwin, the senate clerk of Huntington. The indexing in both journals has been thorough and ex- haustive, and will reflect on the two officials having the work in charge. The journals will reach the members of the two houses from the presses of the Case, Lockwood & Brainard company of this city, as soon as the printing and binding can be completed. The Hon. John F. Shanley, of New Haven, senator from the Eleventh district, who has returned from two months tour through Europe, spent much of the time in Germany and France, find ing these countries eenters of absorb ing interest The senator had one of lI0 UCSI auIIlIlSI0 OL ll4S 1IIC HI LtllSS LOl eign trip, and will long recall the incl dents and pleasure sthat attended it. The return of Charles H. Clark, of the Hartford Courant, from the Philippines. after two months absence, will enable the commission on Investigating cor rupt practices in elections of which he. is a member to organize for work. Nothing was taken 1lp by the commits sion while MT. Clark was in the far east, but details for the investigation will be arranged in the course of a few weeks. Ex-Speaker John H. Perry, of Fairfield, who heads the commission under appointment from Governor Roberts, will be the chairman, and will have the directive hand in it's work. The report will be made to the general assembly of 1907, and will be an ex- haustiue review of the political corrup- tion in the state and the remedies for it's removal. Ex-Speaker Perry is from nature and education a reformer and has made conscientious study of the political situation in the state. He is a man of profund ability and civic attainn1ents, entertaining the highest ideals of public life and citizenship. He took an active, interest in the cor rupt practices legislation that was taken up during the last session. His colleagues on the commission will heartily cooperate with MT. Perry in the work that will occupy great deal of time and inquiry during the coming year and a half.

There is no longer question about this deal being car sried out. During the past session the interests of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company in the legisEa- ture were safeguarded by Senator AL Ian w.

It was through his generalship that the legislation in behalf of the Con- necticut Railway and Lighting compa- ny was kept abreast with that in favor of the Consolidated Railway company which controls all of the trolley roads in the state owned by the Consolidated road.
