Modern Pirates.

The old-time sea rover who was wont to swoop down on a merchantmen and loot its cargo was regarded by all civil ized nations as a criminal of the most dangerous type. If caught he was usu- ally hanged along, with his crew, In these more peaceful days there are pirates who prey on commerce, but they are far less engaging to the imagina- tion. Among them, as told elsewhere in the Tribune this morning, may be classed the trademark grafter," as he is sometimes called, who, despite the laws, still prospers. Instead of holding up ship laden with merchandise he attacks the business of some other manufacturer, and by initiating his ri- val's brand, the style and cover of the packages in which the wares are sold, and also by throwing out to the public the bait of cheaper price, he diverts the revenues of his victim into his own pocket.
 So great has become the depredations of these land buccaneers that American manufacturers are now asking for a national law which shall make the imi- tation of trademarks a penal offense. A bill has been introduced at Washing ton which provides that the maker of goods which are articles of interstate commerce and which bear labels in im- itation of other brands shall be liable to $l,0OO fine or imprisonment 9or two years, or both. The manufacturer who fleeces the public by means of coun- l terfeit label is as much a swindler as the green-goods man or the gold-brick finaneier. If as the advocates of the bill assert, it will be supported by the courts as constitutional it should be passed. Caution in respect to it's scope, however, is absolutely necessary. The law of, 1S76 which made trademark counterfeiting penal offense, was overthrown by the courts on the ground that 1t infringed State rights
 Most of the States have statutes mak- ing trademark piracy criminal of- fense, but these laws vary to such a degree and are so laxly enforced that manufacturers say they afford them little protection. They also point out that nearly all European countries have national laws like the one they want enacted by congress, and that even in China there is law providing that one guilty of this offense may be imprlson- ed for one year.-New York Tribune | Editorial

PAINFUL, BUT NOT SURPRISING.


 It is not at all surprising that the gypsy moth has made it's appearance in Connecticut. It is surprising that it hasn't appeared here before this. Mas sachusetts has had the pest for years, and though much money has been spent against it there it has survived and even hourished and spread until now it has got itself distributed pretty well through New England. There Is queer talk to the effect that some of the efforts to exterminate it in Massachu- setts have been more expensive than honest. If this is so those engaged in such efforts are pretty mean people, for the gypsy moth is a destructive insect and one to be annihilated, if it can be It is apparently going to be promptly and vigorously attacked in Connecti- cut, and it is to be hoped that the at- tack will be more successful and less prolonged than it has been in Massa- chusetts. Connecticut has pests enough without the gypsy moth.

TO BE SAFER THAN ETER,

When the Spanish war was raging and when that terrible Spanish fleet was supposed to be approaching our shores, there was quite scare around here. We do not know that people actually moved their valuables over to MontoWese and other safe places, but some of them wanted to. At that time there was much talk about the ease with which the fleet could get into Long Island Sound and 50 get deadly whack at New Haven. It didn't do it, and since then we have felt compara- lively safe until the formidable battery at the Lighthouse was made less use- ful. Now perhaps the time has come to have another scare until the new plan for guarding the east end of, the Sound is carried out, Army officers say that one of the most important strategic positions on the Atlantic coast is the eastern end of Long Island. Many big guns are to be planted there to guard the approach through the chan nel to New Haven, Brooklyn and New York. This Is looked upon as the most important uncompleted military pro- ject on the east coast. The Taft board of army experts, in reorganlzing the plan of coast defense, asked for more money to fortify the eastern entrance to Long Island Sound than for any other spot on the coast line, save Puget Sound The sum of $S,O21, 900 was rec commended for Long Island, and $9,S00,- GOO for Puget Sound. The new guns will be placed on Gardiner's Island, Plum Island and Fishers Island, as well as on the Connecticut shore.
 Yale college and the town born made no mistake when they located in New Haven. It has always been @ pretty safe place for them, and is now going to be safer than ever.

THE WINNING OF LULU.

Marriage, they say, is always a lot tery, but it is not always such lottery as some Omaha folks have tried to make it. We read that two well-knoWn business men of Omaha have decided by the turn of the dice which should relinquish his claim upon the heart of Miss Lulu Baker a pretty girl, for whose favor they were rivals While the game was being played Miss Baker stood by and encouraged the gamblers. For several years the two men have paid attention to the girl, and they finally decided to shake dice, the loser to cease paying attention to Miss Bak- CT. The girl was consulted and acqui- esced in the arrangements. The three met and the game started. After each had won a game Jack Mitchell threw four sixes in playing off the tie. Miss Baker then begged Jules Altheus to let her play for him, telling him he might lose. But Altheus refused and threw his hand himself He got a pair of deuoes. After shaking hands with Mitchell and Miss Baker he left, saying he would never call on the girl again.
 So it now looks as if one of the men would have Lulu if not Lulu. Per- haps it would be right to congratulate both of the men who threw dice for Lulu.

A Little Further On.

Just a little further on waits won drous April dawn,
 When the boughs will break in blos- soms as flag Is lifted up, When the grass will rise and run with the Laughter of the sun And the sky will seem to pour us wine from out magic cup; And we'll sing because of knowing all the songs the wind is blowing, And the earth will be the gladder for the dreary days agone. Then we'll catch the murmured words m in the singing of the, birds. When the earth has rolled to spring time-just a little further on. For the good old earth 1t knows where the robin and the rose Wait to set our hearts to leaping for the beauty of the day And it knows the neoromance of the violets that dance TO the music of the brooklet that once more Is loosed in play. Ho, the blossom petals drifting in the breeze forever shifting, And the forests flaming greener for their battle with the snowsi Then we'll catch the melodies of the waking honey bees, For the good old earth Is rolling to the robin and the rose, Shut your eyes, and you may dream of the dandelion's gleam Where the careless hand of spring time has been spilling all it's gold,
 While the meadow over night filings aside the wintry blight And it's carpet smooth as velvet Is by fairy hands unrolled. Then we'll know the tang and jingle of the blossom scents that min gle,
 And we'll taste the joys of living in the wondrous April dawn, For we're swinging to the wiles of the singing and the smiles, To the blessedness of springtime-- just a little farther on.

CITILIzING AFRICA.

The civilization of Africa goes on, with hitches. The report of the gover- nor of German East Africa concerning the rising in that colony has just been submitted to the Reichstag. Count Gotzen ascribes the insurrection to the inevitable dissatisfaction aroused among savage tribes by the progress of civilization, to the inadequacy of the local forces and to the influence of the witch doctors. Minor factors, he adds, were the excellence of last years har- vest, which caused a plentiful supply of beer; the inability to control the &C., tions of native officials in certain dis tricts, and the pernicious system of credit, which has created a numerous class of malcontent and vagabond debt prs. Among the innovations particu- .larly resented by the natives, he says, are the restrictions imposed upon sla- very, the hut tax, the ordinances for the preservation of woods and game, the compulsory repair of roads and highways, the tax on beer, the compul- sory cultivation of larger variety of ground crops, and the system of com- pulsory education in European schools and of compulsory work on European plantations.

The government of the United States makes many books. The "Comprehen- sive Index to the Publications of the United States Government, 18S1-1S93," [" recently issued at Washington, makes two quarto volumes of about 1,600 pages and contains about 60OO0 titles, repre- senting the various volumes that were issued during the years named by the United States government. There is nothing to show how many copies of each of these 6O,OOO volumes were printed and bound, but if we take as an average 2,OOO for the ordinary edition we find that this index represents about 1900 100000 printed volumes. That is certainly a very moderate estimate. This index has been compiled by Dr, John G. Ames, chief of the document divisio& department of the interior, in compliance with the provisions of a joint resolution of congress.

Pay your money and take your choice. A correspondent of the New York Herald reports that since he gave up smoking after dinner at night and went to bed after several hours abstinence from tobacco he slept well, and would recommend everybody troubled by in- somnia to adopt this habit. And the Waterbury American knows man who cured his sleeplessness by just the contrary practice, doing no smoking whatever until after dinner at night, and then smoking steadily until bed time.

One of the new war engines Is an armored motor-car, which was inspect cd by the French minister of war the other day. It is described as fortress on wheels, and one that is equally cap able of making an attack or repelling one. In steel turret, invulnerable ex- cept by heavy artillery, 1t carries a ma- chine gun, and is said to be able to move across country at the rate of thirty miles an hour. That 1t may pass over ditches and trenches, 1t carries a plentiful supply of rails. In fact, it seems to be sort of land battleship. But 1t has at least one weak point it's pneumatic tires. The ingenuity of the inventor has failed to devise a sat- isfactory defence for these, which to be useful must be more or less exposed, Without them progress, except at a snail's pace, would, of course, be im- possible.

There is still hope for the lobster. Following close upon the announce ment by the State fish commissioner of Maine that, with proper restriction of the catch, the lobster fisheries may be expected to more than hold their own, comes the news that the Canadian lob ster waters were unusually fruitful during the last twelve months. For ten years previous to 1898 there was contin- ued decrease in the supply of Holsters in Canada, and this led to the enact ment of legislation the favorable effect of which is already seen. The value of the Nova Scotia catch in 1905 was $2,- 110,OO0 and prices were the highest in the history of the trade.
