How much more did they have to give

TWO SAFE PRESCRIPTIONS.

The presumption is that the wise
men who adjusted the State debt in
1879 acted honestly and knew better
what ought to be paid for the bonds
like those South Dakota now sues
on than does the Legislature of 1905.
1t is also a safe presumption, bind
ing upon Democrats, that the Demo-
cratic State Convention knew what it
was about when it refused TO permit
that settlement to be re-opened by the
present General Assembly.

HAD TO HIDE 1T

A mother wrote us recently
that she had to keep SCOTS
Emulsion under lock and key
her children used to drink
it whenever her back was
turned. Strange that children
should like something that is
SO good for them. It's usu-
ally the other way. SCOTS
Emulsion makes children
comfortable, makes them fat
and rosy-cheeked. Perhaps
that's why they like it SO
much they know it makes
them feel good.

Spirit of the Press
The South Should Make Itself Felt iii
Democratic Politics.

Democratic Politics.
Thomas f. Ryan, of New York, in At
lanta Constitution.
1t has long been clear TO my mind,
that our friends in the South, re-
moved as they have been from the
commercial side of politics, so consplc-
uouS in some parts of the country,
and engr8ssed from necessity with an
ever present social issue entirely their
own, have become too patient and sub
missive as followers of Democrats in
States hopelessly Republican or only
doubtful when seeking from the DEM
ocratic party some relief, otherwise
unattaina BILE. 1t is, therefore, crafty
ing to sec that our people are getting
away from that tinlidity which must
always be weakening.
1t ought to be plain to every South
ern Democrat that there are able and
conscientious men South OF Mason
and Dixon's line who. because they
are devoted to their country and al!
its higher interests. are attached to
the Democratic party from the most
patriotic motives, in the belief that it
is the best and only medium through
which these interests may be promo
ted or effect given to this patriotic
feeling. These men must now realize
their responsibility and do their full
y. Inoy must SEE 10 IL llltt the
party remains really Democratic, that
it is not SO radical as to make it a
menace to Industry, nor SO cautious
that it cannot condemn and attack
real abuses.
In other words, certainly the forty
years which have passed since the
war demonstrate that the South is in
the union and that it. should make
it's presence felt in every quarter of
it. IT has stood against many evils,
real and threatening. It's people have
the character and the conscience, uni
ted to principle. and its leaders have
the ability, training and unselfishness
to enable them to insist that the DEM
ocratic party shall be true to it's prin-
ciples and its traditions, and not the
plaything of men whose knowledge
of its existence and its usefulness
comes TO them only every fourth year.

TRUST LOGIC.

Mr.. James 3. Dill, the eminent cor
poration lawyer, of New York, thinks
"the rates would be hard TO adjust"
if the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion should be given the power to reg
ulate them. Therefore he wishes TO
let the transportation trust fix them as
they please. without any legal protec-
ton of shipper or consumer. That S
the logic of the trust lawyer.

EARTH SWALLOWED
 TWO SMALL BOYS

New Haven, Mar 21-Two terribly frightened boys. Henry and Francis, Ashton, aged 14 and 12 years respect lively, were lifted from a fourteen foot hole in the bank by the Boulevard sewer, which had suddenly opened ana swallowed them as they were walking homeward yesterday afternoon about o'clock.
 Francis and Henry with several con- paniOns had been cut walking and were returning to their home at 96 Porter street by way of the Boulevard when, without any warning. the earth Open- cd and Francis, who was some feet in advance of the others, disappeared from sight. Dumb with amazement his companions looked with awe at a hole in the earth just large enough to ad- init the body of the boy. For a mo- ment no one moved, then faint cry was heard from the depths. Henry cautiously crept near the opening in the ground and was about to peep in, when he too disappeared. The younger boys were so frightened that without waiting they ran to the home of the father. When Mir Ashton arrived on the scene he carried long ladder. The question was then whether or not he could approach the hole without caviny more earth on the heads of his children. After several attempts he was able to drop the ladder into the opening and the boys. pale with fright. again came up to the daylight which they had so suddenly left.
 The accident might well have caused men to turn pale. for not only was there danger of more earth caving in and burying them alive. but at the bot tom of the pit fierce torrent was flowing. several feet wide and very deep.
 It seems that at this point an under ground stream of water connects West River with the marsh land on the north side of the boulevard. The rain of Saturday night and Sunday morning had increased this stream. Gradually it had eaten away the earth and hol lowed out q cave in the form of dome. Possibly the process has been going on all winter.

Sanitary Inspector Callahan posted
 signs to-day on three buildings, one on
 South Main street, one on Liberty
 street and another on Baldwin street, where children are i'll with spinal
 meningitis or spotted fever. While
 there is nothing to cause general
 alarm in the situation tue authorities
 have taken all the necessary precau-
 tions to prevent a spread Of the mal-
 ady, even to cleaning up the streets
 and instructing the police to look into
 back yards and see what condition
 they are in and if any should be found in an unsanitary condition, or- der them cleaned. This is Il good thing to do, anyway, sickness or no sickness, but of course it is trihe early for cleaning back yards be- cause the frost is not yet out of the ground and one cannot do much in that line until it goes. The rain which we are having to-day will help drive the frozen ice off the streets and also carry away some of the filth that has accumulated OH them since last fall. X big force of men was sent into the south end this morning to clean the StASStSs uuI thCy uuu lO Sltt IL up Ol account of the rain. People about town claim they don't like the looks of the ice that Is still clinging to the curbstones and nestling on the edges of the gltters. It has been aceumu- lating there since last Thanksgiving day, and somehow many claim that they never noticed anything like it before. It looks as if death dealing germs were lurking under the black, slippery stuff and it goes without say ing that they are very anxious to get rid of it. Mayor Elton said last night we cannot afford to let this disease get ahead of us, and added with great deal of emphasis that we're not going to. The mayor made tour of the city yesterday and after returning concluded to push the work of munic- ipal cleaning. Children in the schools who have been exposed to the danger have been sent home and every other possible precaution is being resorted to in order to stamp out the source of the trouble as. quickly as possible.

THE SUPERIOR COURT.
Case of the Dime Savinks Bank Taken
 vp Again.

The jury in the superior court to- day took up the case of the Dime Saw ings bank against Paul McAlenny for $3,500 damages. Judge Case was on the bench. This Is the second time this case has been on trial. The first time was in 1902 and the superior court gave the plaintiff judgment for $2,DO. The defendant took an ap- peal to the supreme court and had judgment reversed. This was in Oc. tOber, 1903. The case has been q long time in court.
 In 1888 Joseph Cassidy, who lived in this city quite number of years ago. died in Meriden in January, 1890, leaving all of his property to the Rev Paul McAlenny. the defendant ln this case. Among the liabilities of the estate was note for $1,80O due the plaintiff bank. This note devel- .Oped into quite famous transaction. The security given for it was mort gage on piece of real estate in Mer- iden to which Mir Cassidy supposed he had clear title. and q search of the town records of Meriden at the time went to prove this. But it trans- pired after his death that he had only a half interest. However, the town clerk of Meriden at the time gave him a clear certificate and 1t was on the strength of that paper the bank loan. ed the money. The plaintiff claims the defendant promised to pay the note. but this was denied by the de fendant. The witnesses for the plaint- iff were Senator H. H. Peck, Otis s. Northrop and Theron Minor. officials of the bank. whose counsel was Mi- nor and Cole. There was but one wit ness for the defendant, himself. His counsel was Bronson and Danaher.
