CoNNEcrIcUz,s STEADY HAB1r.

Well, Connecticut is the land of steady habits, and among her steady habits is the Republican habit. Yes terday she acted about as usual on election day. The State ticket, the Congressman-at-Large and the four dis tr1ct Congressnen were elected by gen. erous Republican pluralittes, and the Republicans have abundant representa- tion in the Senate and House. There were a few accidents" to be sure, and they were as surprising to the Demo- crats as to the Republicans. These ac- cidents will be fully and carefully ex- plained during the next few days, but it is not often very profitable to "analyze" votes.
 On the whole, there was Republican glory enough in Connecticut for one day, and no indications of any general discontent.

CONGRESS.

In an "off year" the Republicans ex- pect to lose some congressman, and the Democrats expect, or say they do, to make a Democratic congress. They haven't done it this time. Far from it.. Although the returns are not yet con- plete, the indications are that congress will be Republican by fully fifty, which will be enough.

SIMPLE. BIT NOT .E4SY.

The simple life seems to be about as hard to live as the complex life. The latest failure is that of the Sun Broth CTS. The Sun Brothers were a group of German authors, painters and philoso- phers who tried to return to nature" on the Island of Kabakon, in the Bis marck Archipelago. They were eager to start life afreslr under physical con- ditions approximating those of prin1i- tive man, and they formed colony under the name of Sun Brothers, in al- fusion to their wish to enjoy permanent sun baths in the costume of Adam. Their food was to be limited to nuts and fruit, and their labor was to con- sist of tilling the land and tending herds. The enterprise proved as brief as .s was simple. Herr Lutzow, an au- thor, and Herr Engelhardt, philoso- pher, died from the combined result of exposure from not wearing clothes and exhaustion from an inadequate diet. The natives killed Herr Bettman, philosopher. The others have returned in despair to civilization.
 Perhaps we shall soon read that Sin clair's Jungle" colony is also a fail l1re.

One beautiful summer morning he met the lady of his choice in a pavilion alone and absorbed in reverieH. The op- portunty was as favorable as the grand duke could desire, but he found it hard to pop the question in the stiff form prescribed by Russian court etiuuette and the words almost stuck in his throat when he finally took courage. sat down by the side of the princess, grasp ed her hand, and solemnly declared:
 'The emperor, my father, has com manded me to offer you both my hand and my heart" "The queen, my grand mother, the princess answered, smiling. and with roguish twinkle in her eyes, mas commanded me to accept your hand" Whereupon she burst out laughing, and added: "As to your heart. ] accept 1t of my own free will"

RATE DISCUSSION
sENAToR NEWLAND ADVOCATES
NATIONAL INCORPORATE
WOULD FIX NAHUM or PROFITS
Sees No financial Obstacle in the Way
Of the Acquisition of Exestng Roads
Speech Of Mr. Daniels on Public
Service Representation.

WASHINGTON--1n the senate We'd
nesday Mr.. Newlands discussed the
railroad rate bill and Mr.. Daniels the
question of the lack of representation
by the southern states in the public
service. Mr.. Newlands advocated
amendments to the rate bill providing
for the national incorporation of rail
roads and announced himself as fav-
orable to the governmental ownership
Of those utilities Mr.. Daniels speech
was based on provision in the urgent
deficiency appropriation bill for the
representation of the United States at
the next Pan-Amorican congress to be
held in Rio Janeiro next July. He said
that the plans Of the State department
did not contemplate representation of
the south or the far west and then en-
| tered upon general consideration Of
southern participation in public affairs,
contending that political differences
should not be permitted to prevent
such participation on a broader scale.
The deficiency bill was amended so as
TO provide for more delegates and as
amended was passed.
The bill carries an appropriation Of
100000 for the American delegates to
the Pan-Amerlcan congress at Rio ia
nelro
Mr.. Newlands contended that the
rate bill should fix a maximum per.
centage of profit to be allowed to. the
roads and to this end he would have
the valuation of all railroad property
carefully ascertained.
In addition he would have national
incorporation act which would be the
most effective safeguard against over
capitalization. All these regulations
would work automatically in the di-
rection of reduction of rates.
He argued that the great majority
of investors prefer a steady income oil
from 4 to per cent to speculative en-
terprises, and drew the conclusion that
the determination of profit would not
have the effect of restricting railroad
extension. This plan would have the
effect of taking the railroads out of
politics, most desirable desideratum,
in Mr.. Newlands' opinion.
From national capitalization to ma
tional ownership was but short step
tor the Nevada senator and he an
nounced that he was in no respect
averse to that policy. He could see no
financial obstacle in the way of the
acquisition of existing roads, but ii
there should be opposition to this
course he would have the government
enter upon the construction of a rail
way system of its own and he sug
gested an experimental line from Nor
folk or Charleston to Los Angeles OF
San Diego. Such line 1900 miles il
length could be built, he said, for 800,
100000, a cost not exceeding an av
erage of $4,000 per mile, which pre-
walls on existing lines.
