OUR NEXT STATE OFFICERS.

The Republican State convention is over, a good ticket has been nominated throughout, headed by our well known, highly popular and estimable towns man, Colonel Woodruff. There was but little friction as to the nomination for the second place, aud the platform adopted is all right. Now let the eagle scream. The campaign begins auspi- ciously The Republican party has a record that is full of glorious achieve ment. This is well set forth in the platform. Truly Under Republican management capital and labor are en- toying unprecedented prosperity and under Republican statesmanship our nation has come to be recognized as first in influence among the nations of the world"
 The platform heartily endorses the administration of President Roosevelt and the public measures adopted under the present administration. The pro- tective tariff with its splendid results as an aid to our material prosperity is endorsed, there are blanks in reference to our schools, charities, good roads and other Jaudable enterprises and in- stitutions; and our conduct of state af- fadrs is offered for inspection, including the reduction of our state debt to a mere trifie comparatively. The substi- tion of the salary for the fee system in official positions, the further safeguard ing of the purity of the ballot, the mat ter of employers liability and the as- sessment of damages in court cases are considered, and the old soldiers are not forgotten.
 The platform is a clear, comprehen- sive and judiolous document Soon we shall all be ready for the campaign oratory.

SAN FRANCISCO.

All honor to brave San Francisco, which Is fast arising from it's ashes and recuperating with wonderful speed. Gains in bank clearings over the oor- responding weeks of 1905 are reported regularly. Ocean going ships are mak- ing new tonnage records for the port. Railroad traffic at San Francisco is greater than 1t was before the terrible disaster which laid half the city in ru- ins. The collections of the custom house are running above all earlier fig ures. The labor market, naturally enough, is in condition which forces high wages and leads to brisk compe- titiop for the services of all who want work.
 San Francisco claims to have $50, ,o0O.- 0n0 worth of buildings in process of construction. Over 700 are of permanent character, though the first effort has been to provide temporary accommoda- tions for the inhabitants of the city and its business concerns. Nearly 1,2OO building permits were issued in the month of August alone.
 All will rejoice and bid San Francisco God speed. And may the earthquakes trouble that fair and goodly city and coast no more.

BEARS PLENTIFUL IN CANADA

Berry Piekers This Season Have Re-
 ported Many Encounters.
 Lachine, Canada, Sept. 10.-so large the blueberriss grown on the shores of the Saguenay River between Tadousac and Chicoutimi that they are known 10 the trade as Saguenay grapes. There are miles of natural plantations of the berry bushes, and the gathering of the fruit is the important industry of the scattered population.
 The crop has been good this year, al- though the fruit is smaller than usual owing to long droughts. Other fruits like raspberries and blackberries have been very scarce from the same cause. Propably that is the reason why the bears have been more trouble.

 It is not so long ago that the minis ters of the New York churches opposed the Sunday band in the parks, and when in London large meetings were called to withstand the innovation, but yesterday as the familiar words of the doxology were taken up by the vast crowd of people gathered about the bandstand on the Mall in Central Park it was very evident that the Sunday music has been what Carlisle calls "the speech of angels for many a weary worker on the day of rest" IL was the last concert of the season; the Seventh Regiment band, under the direction of Mr. Humphrey, having completed it's engagement. As MT. Humphrey stepped from the bandstand an old man shook nls hand ard said Good by; I shall not enjoy your band again, be- cause when the winter is over and the summer is gone I shall probably be gone also"

In Brussels, Malines and other Bel glan towns novel method of not only getting rid of smoke, but turning it 10 good account, has recently been em- ployed. The smoke is driven by a ven- tilating fan into a filter, filled with po- rous material, over which a continuous stream of petroleum, benzine, alcohol or some liquid hydrocarbon flows. The result is that the smoke is entirely suppressed, while the filter yields a gas of great heating power, which can be used for domestic purposes and for driving gas engines. The Altering ma terial itself also becomes a good com bustible during the process.

The Anglican bishop of Bristol GOT. George F. Browne) was recently asked why he didn't proceed against certain disobedient clerics in his diocese. T can't afford to" he replied. T live in a most modest manner. I keep no car- riage, no horse, and no man servant, and yet I am in debt to my bankers.

CITIES AND WATER SUPPLIES.

Ca to New Haven and talk aooht
 municipal ownership of the water
 plant, and they accuse you rlghe away of an advanced form of Soelal- ism. They had the option good many years ago of buying the plant of the local water company, and the nuestion was submitted to popular vote. The general understanding IS that the full history of the appeal TO the neonln has never been written, But the outcome of it is that Ne" Haven has few more profitable con eerns making money for individual stockholders than the New Haven Water company. which she voted not to buy.
 Hartford has had municipal plant for fifty years or more, and 1T you talk to a Hartford man about a prl- yate corporation controlling the va ter supply of the city, he flares rlSht I'D and says he would not stand for it: that the first thought should be to get good water. not good dividends But as a money-maker the Hartford operation has been very successrul. The works will have paid for then- selves and their extensions by the time their bonds are due. and there will be the whole splendid system owned unencumbered by the city Hartford COurant.
