There is some talk in Washington of
a forthcoming presidential message on
tariff revision. It's more than an even
bet the message will come too late in
the session to alarm the tarifr-protected
trusts seriously.

yesterday passed away the last of a
famous family Four OF the sons of Da-
vid Dudley Field. clergyman and his
torical writer, achieved national distinc-

character. in intellect and physical
force; all of them lived to be more than
eighty years old. and all of them left
the stamp Of their Municipalities on the
history Of their time.
Possibly the most noted Of these four

"By the way" asks the Louisville
Courier-Journal, what use has so small
a state as Connecticut for 252 1awmak-
.ers? There must be a scheme there to
send every citizen Of the majority par
ty 10 the legislature at least once dur
ing his life, and this may account for
the few that are reelected"
What use has the state Of Connecti-
cut for So many lawmakers? Much
use, and right use. The number is IN
accordance with the Connecticut idea,
and also the Courier-Journal's own
idea, that the power is in the people. If
ia large part Of the population of a
State is elected to the legislature the
supposition is that the people will be
50 well and thoroughly represented
there that they will get about the kind
OF legislation they want and deserve.
We don't say that the theory has al
ways worked Just as it ought to, but it
lis a sound theory. 1t may also be added
that in the multitude of councillors
there Is safety As to the failure to re-
elect many Of the members of the leg
islature, that is easy. Some don't want
to go back, and the constituents don't
want to have others go back.

ask this question in no idle mood Of

they have a right to know where their

That kept his gains for Paradise.
Hardly a keepsake did he leave,
And all his gold was fugitive.

A FLoURTsHrYG INFANT.

When does an infant cease to be an
infant? This interesting and important
question Is raised by a bulletin Of the
Census bureau which tells about the
tin-plate infant, In 1890, sixty million
American users Of tlnware were de-
pendent for their supply on the tin
plate trust of South Wales and Mon
mcuthshire. Practically all of the tim
plate then used In the United States
was imported The Mckinley duty gave
the first good chance for It's production
here Tin-plate mills were Immediately
started under the shelter of this In
creased tax on the Welsh article, and
though the existence Of these estab-
lishments was long and stoutly denied
by the opposing press and politicians,
the industry did take root here and
flourished prodigiously in Pennsyl-
vania, Indiana and other central and
midwestern States The tin-plate mills
of America represented, in 1900, cap
ital Of $27,4Ss,OOO, which had increased
liz 1905 to 1872, 457, 900. The output of this
industry, which was valued at $61s12,.
coo in 1900, had increased to $65,679, OOt
in 1905. There were forty-four differ,
ent establishments, employing seven
teen thousand wage-earners.
Probably this infant doesn't think 4
can go alone now, and perhaps it new
er will think that 1t can. The United
states has some very robust and quite

SOME IMPRUDENoE.

A man brought before a New York
court the other day told the magistrate
that the last job he had was shovelling
snow.
This Indicates how unwise some folks
can be. This man found last winter
that shcvelling snow was steady and
profitable work. 1t extended so far be-
You'd the usual season that he probably
felt encouraged to think that he could
shovel on and shovel off forever, or
longer. Perhaps he also relied on the
prophecy of Daboll, the false prophet
who prophesied that there would be no
summer in 1907. Anyhow, he lost his
sense Of prudence. and omitted to pro-
vide for the tine when there would be
no snow to shovel. He might have rode
or walked out to Kansas after he
found the snow-shovelling industry was
declining, and worked at harvesting
there in these golden days But he is
now In jail, where there is no work
fot him and he must humillate himself
by accepting the bounty Of his city
Next year perhaps he will make sim
ilar mistake. and, after having done
Summer work, will have to spend the
long cold Winter in warm Jail. There
is a great lack Of prudence in some
folks.

+ THE WAGFS OF SIN.

1t is a short story, but it is a very
enlightening one A Bridgeport trolley
conductor concluded to add to his in
ccme by failing to ring up all the fares
handed him by the patrons of the road.
Failing under suspicion for a failure to
keep up the average of his car a de-
tective was set to watch him. He was

yesterday sent to Jail for sixty days
and fined s25.
There is not involved in this expert
Ience the question of wages. Whether
or not the men in the employ of the
trolley company receive always the
wages they are entitled to is a matter
for arbitration. To make up fancied
shortage by failing to ring up fares is
defensible under no circumstances. It
is perhaps one of the meanest forms
of stealing for 1t lacks all of the ele-
