HEARD IN PAsSlEG.

One conclusion drawn from the re-
 suit in New York state is that Hearst
 will be presidential candidate, and 1 If he is that President Roosevelt will
 be forced to run again, thereby bring
 ing the solid South" into the repub-
 lican column. Time will tell.-
 Bridgeport Post.
 The Federation of labor officials,
 like the humblest citizen who asks in
 the proper spirit to be given chance to be heard, were received by the
 president and given definite promises of future consideration of their de- slres. The incident is important in showing the disposition of the press-
 dent to be fair to all interests and to
 learn of the wanted things at first hand.-Exchange.
 Some dull people continue to think and say that woman never can be anything but the weaker sex. Let such people wake up for minute and contemplate Miss Juno May of London, who is feet inches tall, weighs 252 pounds, with biceps that measures 16. Now twenty-two years old, she has wrestled since she was 12 and is now training for match with Pierre, the Terrible Greek.-Exchange.
 The report that Commander Peary is not to come home and give up Arc tic adventure looks as if the hold of the North on the explorer had been clinched so that he can not break away. That is the old story of Arctic research and the man listens to the call of the polar solitude which though voiceless are powerful, while life remains. It is a singular in- fatuation.-Bridgeport Standard.
 The growth of American independ- ence and the stubbornness with which voters refuse to be led around by the nose is we'll illustrated by the result of the election at Norfolk, in this state, where Professor M. S. Pupin, of Columbia university, was defeated as candidate for member of the house by his hired man. Matthew O'Brien. Evidently one man is no better than another, in Norfolk Ansonia Sentinel.
 The results of the vote on the state ticket in Connecticut prove that Michael Kenealy is no slouch either as campaign organizer or politi- cal prohet. His predecessor. Rail- road Commissioner Gates, lacked the quiet aptitude of the gentleman from Stamford.-Hartford Times.
 The New Haven Register went back on Candidate Thayer at the last moment. and will command no great amount of respect thereby. It looks like rolling in the mud for nothing. The editorial does not read like Colonel Osborne, but rather resembles counting room composition.-Spring- field Republican.
 We do not agree with Roosevelt Professor Burgess that the Monroe doctrine is obsolete. but he has a right to his opinion on the subject and the right. to express it from a chair. There if anywhere there should be entire freedom of speech. The American residents who are boycotting him are making fools of themselves.-Bridgeport Farmer.
 Speaking of the early use of the overcoat the New York Herald de- clares that it has certainly prevented more colds. pneumonia. rheumatism and pleurisy than it has ever pro- duced, and in case of doubt there is no positive danger in carrying 1t on the arm. rather than leaving it at home. This is sensible and timely advice and men will do we'll to heed 1t. Pneumonia. that dread disease, starts from cold, and 1t Is the easiest thing in the world to catch cold.-Rockville Leader.
