NO BEST roR THE coon.

Our steady old State can't be quite easy, it seems. We must now, if we value our liberty and rights, sit up nights guarding them against the as- saults of the Modoc club The Nodoc club, appropriately enough, has it's lair in the wilds of Bridgeport, and this is the way the Bridgeport Standard talks about 1t: Steadily, surely. the arms of that group of gambler-politician have been reaching out, insidiously, grasping one vantage point after another in the political arena, until now the astonish- ed element in the Democratic party which stands for responsibility and clean government by clean men is shocked to learn that Fairfield county Democracy has been turned over bodily to the gamblers, while they seem to have foot upon the whole State. Even in the political world, where meteor flights are common the rise and growth of the Modoc club have been astonlsh- ing. From little coterie of Bridgeport gamblers it has enlarged and It's pow CT has increased until it involves many nominees of the Democratic ticket. The Mulvihill administration, in spite of what few half-hearted denials have been made, Is generally regarded in Bridgeport as having stood for and fos- tered the Modoc club, and supporters of that administration stand under that stigma.
 If the Modoc club has one of its big feet on the whole State it is time to notice it. That foot must be lifted. Let's get together and jump on it's corn,

RocHEFoRT THE puELL1sT

The chills of age do not cool the fighting ardor Of flre-eating duellist like M. Rochefort, once reputed the deadnest shot of the second Empire, while the late M. Cassegnas was it's crack swordsman--a foilsman So pas sionately addicted to his weapon that as he once said, his sons in their fenc- ing lessons adopted untaught the scientifically correct parries and coun- terthrusts by instinct. M. Rochefort has done his best to signalise his sep tuagenarian period by one last appear ance Ion the ground" and he appears likely to be disappointed. Perhaps the adversary mistrusts that old fighting hand despite the misleading effects of age Anyhow, M. Rochefort's seconds cannot find him "at home.' Few men would feel at home confronted by such an antagonst, pistol in hand The ad- versary is M. Bunau-Varilla, the we'll known newspaper proprietor who had written a letter containing passage that M. Rechefort disliked. He sent his seconds to say so, and they were in- formed that M. Bunau-Varilla would not be at home for week Now that the week has expired they have called again, only to be told that NJ Varilla away for an indefinite period" And now. as the Irish attorney said In the once famous farce. the seconds are now left with 'as pretty a challenge as exrar was ppnned and nOhOdv fo criyn it to."-London Globe.

THE SECURITIES PL4N.

The directors of the Security In- surance Company of this city, like the directors of many other insurance com panies, have been planning to repair the damage done it by the San Fran cisco catastrophe. The plan has been made public, and it is both adequate and iudicious. The directors advise the reduction of the capital stock by re- dueing the par of the stock from $40 a share to $25 a share. This would transfer into the surplus $1S75OO and leave the stock at $S12, 300. The diree- tors further advise that 7,500 new shares be issued, which, at par of $25, would restore the capital to $500,0O0. This new stock, at $40 share, which 1t seems to be richly worth, will not only restore the capital to $50O,000 but will add $112,5OO to the surplus, making the surplus by this operation $300,000 It is further recommended that au- thority be given the directors to Issue from time to time in thelr discretion 5000 more shares on such terms and conditions and to such persons as will in their Judgment, best promote the in- terests of the company. and this stock is not to be issued at less than $40 a share.
 This plan has been carefully devised and when 1t has been carried out the company will be able to go on to new prosperity. It is g sound and solid in stitution.

EASY

If MT. Frank s. Butterworth's sue cess in public life is as easy and abundant as his entry into it he will have no reason to find fault. Ills nomination for Senator from the Eighth district of New Haven was unanimous, and his election will be as nearly so as the Republicans and the disorganized and discouraged Dem ocrats can make it. When Mr. Butter worth was first mentioned as a candi- date he very frankly said that he would like the place, and wouldn't need the usual urging by friends. But he hasn't had to make much effort for 1t, and will not have to. This is a truly Republican year in Connecticut, and es- peclally in New Haven.

GOOD CREDIT.

It is easy for ssuch rich folks as we are to get into debt. We can get trust ed, and we do. The total debt of the republic is given in an advance bulle- tin of the Census Bureau at S2,7S9, ,207,- 46S, and this vast total has been in- creased considerably since the date of the summary. June 30, 1903. With the steady decrease of the national and State debts, both in the gross and per capita, there has been marked in- crease in the obligations of cities. towns, parishes and other divisions At the close of the Civil War the bulk of the nations indebtedness was burden of the Federal government and the State, that of the former alone being but little short of the total debt as now figured. The actual per capita of the national debt is reduced from more than seventy-nine dollars in 1865 to All.ft dl llS udle or lIllS accounting, the lowest ever recorded. But to such proportions has the indebtedness of local divisions grown that an addition al $1766 is chargeable against every man, woman and child in the land.
 Of the total debt of nearly three bill lion dollars, the debt of the national government was less than one billion at the date specified; the State and Territorial debt was $2S4, ,S14, ,19O; the debt of the counties less than two hun. dred millions and of school district. around forty-six millions; while the debt of cities, villages, townships and the like footed $1,SS7, ,279, 56O, or nearly as much as all the other forms of in debtedness combined, including the government debt. It is in this form that the nation has been running into debt most rapidly. Indeed, during the last decade all other forms have eitkeT remained about stationary or have actually decreased, while the total debt

The War department authorities have been considerably bothered by the case of soldier who was reported for mis- conduct and peculiar actions, including desertion. When brought to trial 1t was disclosed that he thought himself irresponsible, added to which opinion there was testimony from his associ- ates to the same effect. It was found that there was insanity in the soldier family. and the doctors had no trouble in reporting him subject to periodical insanity. He was recommended by his immediate military superiors for dis charge without honor for the good of the service, an action which carries with it certain disabilities blocking pension or other claims. When the War department officials came to look over the papers it was considered that if the man were not responsible men, tally for his acts it was unjust to dis charge him without honor" and ac- cordingly it has been decided that in such cases as this, where the defence involves such a mental state on the part of the accused soldier, there shall be granted summary discharge.

Consul Young thinks our drug export CTS and surgical instrument makers should be able to work up a really good trade in Turkey. "The leading physicians" he writes from Harput, are Armenians, graduates of the Amer ican missionary schools and colleges. Each important center in this region is occupied by one or more of these phy- sicians. All of them are acquainted with and use American pharmaceutical products. The largest and best equip per pharmacy here is the Euphrates pharmacy at Harput, which is owned and conducted by the American colony. A consulting room has been fitted up in connection with the pharmacy for the use of the city physicians. Catalogues of many American manufacturers of surgical instruments, drugs, and phar- maceutical goods are kept on file in this room, and the druggist in attendance is changed with the duty of calling them to the attention of the visiting physi- cians and druggists"
