Touching the defence question, Lord Grey said the naval burden did not weigh on Canada, It was borne by the British taxpayers. "The reason why you are able to develop your na- tionallty," he continued, lis because you are safe within the protecting cir cle of the Crown. The people of the United Kingdom know that when the appointed time arrives you will assume your Imperial obligations. This feeling of self-respect will produce a system of Imperial federation in which the self governing peoples of Great Britain, Canada, Australia and South Africa will join in equal partnership to dis charge their Imperial responsibilities and their Imperial obligations"

4 LONG WAY ACROSS.

There will be wigs on the Green be- fore there are trolleys there. It doesn't seem to some people but a short dis tance from Chapel to Elm street across the Green, but it really is long dist ance. A railroad to go over that dist ance must go over the history, the traditions and the sacred sentiment oI New Haven, and that is quite a stretch even in these swift and 'prac- tical" days.
 A trolley company official is quoted as saying that there will be no fight on the Lart of the company 10 push through the general assembly it's peti- ton to run the tracks through the Green but that the privilege was asked for the public's benefit more than for the railroad eompany's. It is true that the public would benefit much by such an arrangement in one way, but it's feelings would be so hurt in anoth- CT way that we don't think the trolley company can get across the Green this time either with or without a fight. There are still some things that New Haveners love more than their own ease and profit. The Green is one of them,

unable properly to serve the city and they would prove failures; and per haps in some ways that do not appear they we uld be so much of an improve ment over the present and past officials that the people would have no others. Be that as it may, the lesson that the incoming city government, be- inS almost entirely on the Republican side the product of the promJtion plan, must learn is that the people have de- cided to give the plan one more trial and to test it by eXacting standard
 It is unfair to the officials elected this fall that they are to be the vic tims of a criticism that could as well have been applied to their predeces- sors, but if the watchfulness Of the people results in extra cafe. on the part of these officials, both the people and the officials will be the better for the changed conditions.

IE PROMOTION PLAN
THE
SPRINGFIELD.

During the recent municipal cam paign in this city, much said about the promotion plan in politics. It was freely stated that a man to be mayor, must start as checker at the palls and through the city committee, the common council and the hoard of aldermen, finally reach the goal of mayor If there is decided opposition tJ the promotion plan, it must be based on the undesirable officials that have resulted from it. The people seldom consider the means that are used to obtain good officials and con demn almost any plan that results in inefficient public servants.
 Mayor Henry s. Dickerson, Gilmore and the present Mayor Dickson, to- gether with most of the Republican mayors for many years, were the re- suit of the promotion plan and no ob- iection was raised. The plan has not changed. Has the result latterly been men of smaller caliber? It was alleged during the campaign that the city officials map out the nominations far in advance. We doubt this, but if it were true would 1t be seriously op- posed if the best men in the city se- cured the offices?
 The mayor and the aldermen of 1907 have a hard task to perform not oaly in looking after the ordinary duties
 that will confront them. but in con vincing the people that the condemna-
 ton of the promotion plan is not
 justified Prejudice is often more con- vincing than reason. If the people have become prejudiced, then the task is doubly difficult Already we have heard it stated that Alderman Potter is slated to succeed Mayor Sanderson,
 that his associates have chosen him
 to be head of the city. This rumor, probably without foundation, makes it douIbly hard for him if he is ambi- ticus to be mayor. To a greater de- gree than usual. he must convince the people that he is an entirely unselfish
 servant of the people and that he pos sesses to a marked degree the qualities locked for in a mavor
 The same rule applies to the other
 members of the city government. Con- demnation of the promotion plan by the Democrats and by scores If Re- publicans has compelled vndication 1 by the present officials who benefit by the plan when former officials who | benefited equally escaped without mo- | tice or criticism. If the present city
 officials fail tl convince the citizens of
 their ability and freedom from inclina-
 ton to work for personal ends, the re- suit will be a popular uprising that 1 will end the promotion plan.
 Such an uprising VI uld mean the l selection for alderman and mayor of

PINCTEANEOUS.

There are many words nowadays. The President Is emitting many and the Senate and House are emitting many more, Most of those emitted are good old words, though the President has made some of them look little different than they used to. But ReL- resentative Gaines of Tennessee hasn't found the old words or the new spell ings adequate, so he emitted new word while correcting the record in which was printed last Fridays col loquy between himself and Mir. Under wood of Alabama, regarding the increase in members salaries. He spoke of some of the changes as fin terpolated pencilaneous writing" on the stenographer's copy, and said they gave a wrong construction of the con- troversy and he desired that Mr. Un- derwoods remarks be given as shown by the stenograther's notes and not as corrected bv him.

NOT so FIERY EMMY.

These are sad days in Russia, but there are still people there who think they know what a good joke is. The other day the retired Captain Talgin, living in St. Petersburg, received an anonymous letter asking him to hand over five hundred rubles to a messen- ger of the revolutionary committee, who would call on him. Letters of this kind have gradually become so common in St. Petersburg that people have ceased to be scared by them. Captain Talgin threw the letter into his waste basket. A few days passed and a sec ond letter arrived, this time with the threat that the revolutionists would call to get the money by force. Again the captain attached no importance to the matter, but deemed it sufficient to instruct his woman servant not to ad- init any unknown person to the house. Then one day, at noon, the door bell rang. Upon the question of the ser want who it was, the voice of an old friend made answer; but when she opened the door two other men with masked faces forced themselves with him into the house, and at once dashed  upon the woman. She called for help The captain hurried to her assistance, and the disguised men attacked him. He succeeded in disengaging himself and rushed toward the exit, but drop ped dead at the threshold, The ex- citement had brought on apoplexy. The supposed revolutionists were the cap tain's best friends, who only had in- tended to play harmless joke.
 This didn't turn out to be very fun ny, or very harmless, The captain is safely dead, and the jokers have learn- ed something.

CANAD4 FOR CANADA.

Lord Grey, the governor general, was very enthusiastic over the prospects of Canada in a speech which he delivered at dinner in Toronto the other even ing. He said; Tt is only question of time before you, if united and incorrup- tible, will become the most powerful factor in the English speaking world The varied and extensive character of your material resources indicates that Aladdin located his treasure cave in every part of Canada" He congratu- lated them on the proved existence at Cobalt of large deposits of some of the richest silver ore in the world, but warned them against interruptions company promoters. If, he said, the growth of the Northwest proceeded at the present pace, it was only a ques- tion of time before the farmers of the Dominion would look to the Orient as the market for their produce. A. though Canada possessed the natural trade route between Europe and the East, her exports last year amounted to only 1 per cent, of those from the United States. Referring to the talk of the possible absorption of Canada by the United States, Lord Grey said: Are you going to lose your individual ity? A thousand times no! Shame even to speak of such thing! The growth and development of your na- tionality brings strength and security to England and the empire"
