T am In the in- specting business now and want to get at the bottom of any rumors or facts that may be brought to the Depart ment I am making inquiries on my own hook, but at the same time I will bring the searchlight to bear on any employees whose actions may be the sub- ject of the suspicious of outsiders.

The death of General Hawley re- moves a familiar Connecticut figure. For long time he has occupied con- spicuous place in the state and nation, and certainly deserved all the honors that were heaped upon him. Hundreds and thousands of people throughout the country knew General Hawley from seeing his picture in the papers. It was q face that one would not be likely to forget after once seeing it Although he had reached good ripe age. his friends hoped to see him and meet him for many years to come His death will leave vacancy in the ranks of the party he served so faith fully Which it will be hard to fill, and brings sorrow to all the people of the state.

Joseph Fels, who returned from Eng. land a few days ago. said that he had purchased in that country 1900 acres: Of land formerly belonging to the de- .funct Colonial college at Hillesley Bay. in Suffolk county, and had induced temporary board of managers in Lon don to lease it for a nominal sum and place at work on 1t hundreds of idle, ,men from London. i
 My scheme is that there shall be formed there great labor colonies. Sew, en, hundred acres are at present under. cultivation. The land has a great de posit of brick clay. from which bricks will be made. There is also some swamp land, in which willows can be grown and give occupation to basket makers. It is my hope that this little farm shall be the beginning of the country workhouse and farm colleges.
 My idea is to pave the way back to the land. I attach very little impor- tance to the work of the Vacant Lots association as such The whole land question is what concerns me. 1 take 1t that the salvation of the race is the earth on which we live and from which most good things which we get are de rived. But unfortunately the earth be- longs to few people"
 "I am exceedingly interested in what I have heard" said MT. Haggard. Tt seems to me your excellent work in Philadelphia has its sad side too. It Is a pity that of all those acres of vacant lots in this city your association can get only 300."

This library park question is occu- pyng more than it's share of space in the press of late, nevertheless the Democrat feels called upon to give it another airing to-day There was such a great difference between the Demo- crats report of the last meeting of the board of aldermen and that of the American. particularly that part re- lating to the vote on the park ques- tion, that we wondered how the Amer ican was able to get hold of so much of importance that the Democrat news gatherers missed. The reporter who prepared the doings of that meeting for the Democrat was questioned, and be said his report was correct. In or der to make doubly sure we consulted the official document prepared by City Clerk Nettleton. and sure enough it was found that the Democrat reporter was right, and therefore the American report must be wrong. We then in- formed our contemporary of it's error, and remarked that by doctoring re- ports of board meetings in that manner it was not giving its readers what is their due, a fair and impartial report of city business as transacted by mu- nicipal boards. The American did not take kindly to our suggestion, but rises right up in meeting and says that its report is the correct one It says the city clerk as well as the Democrat re porter made a mistake in recording the vote in question. After further in vestigatiCn. however. we are still Ot the opinion that the report as, pub lished in the American is incorrect The reporter in his enthusiasm for tn; new park probably saw things double -on the aye side, or perhaps tho American has some knowledge of how things might have been if there had been a rising vote on the question which is not in the possession of tn, Democrat or the city clerk. At an! rate, the American says Alderman Pil ling voted aye. but. even with his vOt, counted with the majority it is difficult to see how one vote could change 8 t' 6 to 10 to 8. The American owes it
 readers as well as City Clerk Nettletol an apology.

Out in California they are trying to keep the Japs out of that part of the country, and it is not matter f0f wonder that the California legislature has taken this stand. Wage-workers, not only on the Pacific coast, but in every state of the Union. have per sonal interest in the matter with which the concurrent resolution of both houses of the California legislature deals. says an exchange. Their influ- ence should make itself felt as coun' terpoise to that which will be exerted by the admirers of England's Asiatic allies. The trusts and the big cor porations that desire to, have cheap labor in order to increase their already enormous profits may he counted upon to favor Japanese immigration. News papers antagonistic to labor will have much to say about the injustice of put ting up the bars against the Japanese But back of all their denunciations will be the desire to have on hand an army of yellow wage-workers, who, in ordinary times will keep wages close to the starvation point, and who in the event of strikes will render effective service as strike breakers" It vii be seen then that. from labor point of view, the anti-Japanese immigration resolution of the California legislature has an important bearing upon the in terests of wage-workers in every par of the country.

most as topic when the congress met last December, has petered out con- pietely. The president seemed to be very insistent then that there must be something done in the way of tariff revision, and that if congress did not do something he would call an extra session and ask them to stay here un- til they did so something, and altogeth- CT talked very bravely about the mat ter. All this courage on the subject that seemed to be nearest his heart and in which there really was something for the benefit of the people, seems to have OoZed out at the ends of his fin- gers when the leaders of the party read the riot act to him, and now you hear not chirp from him or any of his sponsors concerning tariff revision. The stand patters" have had their way absolutely, the tariff wall stih stands as high as ever, the reciprocity treaties are dead. the tariff barons stil reap the harvest and the people pay the bills. So it will continue so long as the republican party continues ih power. The promises of republican executive in his messages to congress on rhls or any other reform that will benefit the people are like puff balls. One puff from the lips of the republi- can leaders in congress who are sent here and controlled by the special in- terests of tue country, is enough to dis slpate all such promises" on the part of the president.
