 Balls May be Settled.

Louis Bolton came from Hartford yesterday and as is usually the fate of man from Hartford in Waterbury, he became intoxicated. Though it has been demoDstrated time and again that Hartford men cannot stand Wa terbury rum they will fool with 1t to their sorrow. Bolton looked to be a respectable man. He had nothing to say in excuse of his showing and push ing people at the Highland division depot last evening and conducting himself as though he were the section boss. He was fined S5 and costs.
 The case against C. D. Waterman charged with theft of Il number Of billiard balls from J. W. Hodson's billiard and pool rooms was continued to tomorrow morning. Ii is under stood that the case will be settled.

North Sea Commission at Paris Hears
 Russian Story.


 PARIS, Feb. 2-At the international commission here counsel for Great Britain severely cross examined the Russian officers who maintained their testimony about the torpedo boats.
 Captain Clado expls sined why the Russians saw the toipedo boats and the fishermen on the traw,ers did not see them. saying that the decks of the trawlers were seven feet out 6f the wa- ter and those of the warships forty two. The captain caused amusement when British agent asked him if ordinary boats were not sometimes mis- taken for torpedo boats. Captain Cla. do replied:
 "An English admiral once said, When you see torpedo boats advanc. ing. fire first and inquire about the na. tionality afterward'

Frick to the Rescue.

The Republican machine in Pennsyl-
vania, built up with so much care and
at so great expense by Simon Cameron
to be going to pieces all at once and in
all its parts like the one boss shay de-
scribed by DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes.
The startling upheaval and revolt in
Philadelphia seems now to be only one
in series of events destined to bring
a new order of things in the Keystone
State, once honored by the genius of
Benjamin Franklin and Albert Gala
tin. The latest development is the an
nouncement that Henry G. Prick. the
muItimillionaire steel magnate of Pitts
burg, quondam friend of Andrew Car
negie, now the bitter enemy of the
canny Scot, is to succeed Bofes Pen
rose in the senate of the United States.
He possesses in an eminent degree at
least one qualification for that posi-
tion-he is immensely rich. The senate
hardly deserves the title bestowed upon
it by Colonel Bob Ingersoll of ''the
millionaires' club,v for there are sew
eFdi lien pour IL tAtS NOllu 5oo0S -
that body which affects the title of
august. Nevertheless the fact remains
that there are several members who
would never have been members had
they not been abnormally rich.
One trouble about Tricks candidacy
is that Senator Philander G. Knox is
also an inhabitant Of the Smoky City,
or rather was, for the T'rick shouters
claim that Knox is no longer a Pitts
burger, but has removed his lares and
penates to his country home at Valley
Forge, i'll the eastern part of the state.
Can 1t be that philander did that to
make easy the path Of his friend Prick
to the senate? Erick helped him to his
present berth. and one good turn de-
serves another, SO it is said.

Railroad Mortality.

Here IS the record for 1907: Ten
thousand and forty six persons killed;
"a, 100 persons wounded. This is not
d statement of the losses at Gettys-
burg, Charlottesville or Nukden, but
the record of the number of killed
and manned who fell victims to
the railroads of the United States
alone III twelve monthsi If that many
civilized white people were killed and
wounded III battle in one day, the
whole world would hold up its hands
in horror, yet this awful slaughter
attracts very slight attention The
chances are ten to one that nine
tenths of these people could have been
saved We're there any systematic and
intelligent regulation Of the railroads
in this country The number killed
and hurt is out of all proportion to
the number killed and crippled in the
European countries. Somebody having
authority to compel it should force
every railroad to inaugurate the block
system and every other device which
aids i'll making travel more safe. At
first blush it would seem that the roads
would adopt all the safety appliances
of their own motion, for accidents are
very expensive, but observation shows
that they do not do this.

Purification Of City Politics.

The repentance of Mayor John Wea-
yer of Philadelphia appears to be sin
cere and thorough. He was elected
by tile ring as a ringster. but he has
done good work in oyerthrowing the
ring. No matter what his motive, his
work has been for the public good.
His last achievement as a reformer is
praisew orthy. He has had the regis
tration lists purged of over 10000 boz
gus names and fraudulent! Only think
of that Sixty thousand names of per-
sons who do not exist placed upon the
voting lists, and every one of them to
be voted for the Republican candidates.

take any cognizance of affairs on this
mundane sphere, Boss Tweed, like
Lord Give, must stand aghast at his
own moderation. He even in his palm

gantic swindle as that. The chances
are that Mayor Viewers 10000 bogus
names are not all upon the lists. His
agents have discovered that many. No
doubt there are others.

BETRAYAL Of Addicks.

Hon. Gas Addicks of Delaware is
now III position to comprehend old
King Lear's remarks on ingratitude
For more than dozen years certain
Republican leaders and many of the
rank and file in the Diamond State
have been living by reason Of the
money distributed among them by Adj
dicks i'll his efforts to purchase a seat
in the United States senate once filled
by Salisbury or a Bayard Now
these same leaders notify Addicks that
they will follow him no longer. Is it
newly awakened virtue stirring III their
breasts imrelling them to unload the
gas man? By no manner of means.
Repentance and reformation are al
ways to be encouraged, but these ex-
AddicEs leaders have neither repented
nor reformed They are as bad and
sordid and venal as ever. They have
simply concluded that if they do not
bounce Addicks and c0llaborate with.
the other wing of the Delaware Repub-
hcans the Democrats viii carry the
state. That's all. So with Addicks'
money jingling in their pockets they
make a virtue of betraying Addicks.
What becomes of the old adage,
There's honor among thieyes?a = It
seems not to apply to the ex-Addieks
Republicans.

Effects of Republican Misruie.

When as a result of the last census
Missouri gained representative in
congress by reason of increase of popu-
lation and Iowa gained none, a good
many persons of inquiring turn of
mind asked the reason why.
Now that the census bureau states
that the population of Iowa has fallen
off per cent since the census of 1900
a great many people are taking notice
and rubbing their eyes to discover If
they are awake, for haven't we been
told ad nauseam that in Republican
states are to be found more progress,
more growth and more of everything
that is desirable? And isn't Iowa one
of the most thoroughgoing Republican
states In the Union? That is one of
the greatest agricultural states in the
Union. Every prospect pleases and
only the Republicans are vile. Her
people are quitting the state at rate
that is amazing, Wherefore? There
Is an attempt to explain this Dhenom-
enon on the theory that farmers as
they grow rich buy adjoining land, as
though that practice were peculiar to
Iowa, which it is not, and every man
of ordinary sense and observation
knows it is not That process has been
and is constantly going on in Missouri
and Illinois and Arkansas, and yet all
those states are happy and proud in
their increasing population. So that
fable will not wash The reason for
the decadence of Iowa is to be found
in her abominable politics-rock ribbed
Republicanisnl, higher taxes than Mis-
souri, has and all the evils that go with
higher taxes as a result of Republican
misrule. Perhaps IL she would try the
wholesome experiment of electing a
Democratic administration occasional

There is nothing much easier than
for d man Of anything like prominence
in American politics to secure mention

be in 1908. Just at present presiden-
tial candidates are springing up like

Indian Territory Republicans are
Whooping it up for United States Sen
ator William Warner of Missouri. The
Kansas Republicans most probably are
doing this because of being his near
neighbors. The chances are ten to one
that as far as the Indian Territory Re-
publicans are concerned their enthusi-
asm rests on the question Of single or
double statehood. Major Warner will
undoubtedly have a good deal to say
about statehood, as all Missourians are
greatly interested i'll the question of
statehood The truth is that the Re-
pgEl;cans could go farther and do a
good deal worse than nominate Major
Warner.

HOME RULE FOR YUKON

The promise of Sir wilfrid Lsurier that Yukon territory shall have a wholly elective legislative council has been received with joy by the people of the Yukon. Itisa promise that does credit to the great man who has made it. It means tha, the Canadian Yukon is to have self-government in meas ure as broad as they had dared hope for.
 This action of the Canadian govern meut is one that should make an im- presion on the American statesmen who are visiting Alaska The natural conditions on the Canadian side of the l4lst degree of longitude are in all re- ,pects similar to those on the American side of the same imaginary line, but the political conditions are as different as those which usually obtain in a politt- cal division of a republic are from those in mos, mousrchieS. The strsn'e part Of this contrast is that it Is on the side of the line which is the possession of monarchy jo which the people are permitted to enjoy political rights that are denied to those residing iu Ameri- can territory where conditions arc sim liar.
 When the bill providing for wholly elective legislative council for Yukon territory shall have passed in accord suce with the promise of the leader of the government forces in the Dominion, the Canadians oi the north will have complete seli-goverumeut in local affairs and they will have actual repre- seutatiou in the federal parliament. The Americans Of the north have no voice whatever iu the making or eNecU' ton of their laws beyond the affairs of their municipalities,
