 The legislative committee on cities and boroughs has reported favorably a bill recommending the amendment of the New Haven city charter increas- Ing the salary of the clerk of the civil service commission. Why the honor able committee has seen fit to make such 8 recommendation, when it runs counter to the wishes of the residents of this city, must be charged up to that spirit of wilfulness which has at last been exhibited once too often since the session began.
 It must be remembered in the first place, that in view of the number of petitions sent to the legislature seeking the amendment of the city charter, in order that salaries might be raised without the consent of the taxpayers of the city, 1t was agreed that the power to raise or lower salaries should be vested in them and not In the gen. eral assembly. So far as we know this policy has not been modified except in the case of the clerk of the civil ser- vice commission. There were two hearings upon his petition, at the first of which no one appeared in it's favor. At second hearing, which does not seem to have been overadvertised, if advertised at all, representatives of the commission appeared in its favor and a brief was submitted by the clerk him. self The commission is not a unit in favor of the proposed increase nor is any provision inserted that the people of the city may vote upon the pro- ppsal before its terms are enforced These facts in themselves are sufici- erlt to justify the rejection of the bill by the general assembly, which will be done if the members of that body have any consideration for the feelings of the taxpayers of New Haven.
 Whether the salary now paid the clerk of the commission is insufficient, or too much, is not really involved. It Is true that the incumbent of the office sought the office, and gave no hint that the compensation carried by it was unsatisfactory. His predecessors have done the work, which is not oner- ous, without complaint of i'll treat ment. But these are all matters which should be considered by the people who pay the bills, namely the people of the city of New Haven. We know of no accurate measurement for the con- sideration of the value of work done here by residents of other cities and towns, nor do we know of any meas urement for the consideration of the value of work done by servants of the public in Hartford or Litchfield by

Leader Banks Unfortunate speech.

(Hartford Times.
 ' Leaving aside, however, the com mon and apparently universal under stnndlng of his speech by those. who heard it, we are disposed to consider I'd moment what he now says he meant to say and thinks he did say He declares his sympathy with the pur- poses and intentions of the governor, but thinks the governor was greatly mistaken in vetoing the trolley char ters and holds that in doing so i became the unconscious tool of the Consolidated railway He added that tho governor, of course without real izlng it. was helping those opposed to the development of small trolley roads, and he said further that in his speech he ''emphatically stated his belief in the Integrity, honesty and sincer- ity of the governors position" In fact his words suggested, as has been said, before, the famous adjuration: Don't hang him to the lamppost," |" which we all know was intended 10 bring about that same hanging. This was one of the ways in which Mr Banks was unfortunate. He does not seem to have the gift of speech with which some of his friends have cred tied him.

The Distant Glory.

Always just beyond somewhere
 Rarest, falrest flowers blow Over by the foothills there,
 All the brightest poppies glow. See how splendid they appear.
 Mark how thiekly they are spread; Only poor ones blossom here
 Let us culi the ones ahead. All the dearest joys we seek
 In the future somewhere lie In tomorrow or next week
 Or the far off by-and-by Yet the pleasures of to-day,
 Poor and petty as they are. Ah, how glorious were they
 When we saw them from afar. Always out beyond somewhere
 Lie the joys that are supreme; Present blessings ne'er compare
 With the ones of which we dream. Still, perhaps, 'tis better so;
 Who would dare or who achieve If the scenes to which we go
 Seemed as poor as those we leave? --S E, Riser in Chicago Record Herald

WoRE FUN FOR ENGLAND.

There Is no limit to the popularity of baseball in this country. From the President down, all the live ones like baseball It's charm is strlklngly H.
 ustrated by the fact that Charles FL mendorf, a blind youth living In Evansville, Indiana. is an enthusiastic rooter at every baseball game played there. He Is on the free list at the ball park. and in some mysterious way which even he cannot explain, he manages to keep track of the games as they arc played; except when some thing complicated occurs. At such times spectator explains to the blind lad
 It seems that a game which so strongly appeals to even a blind Amer lean ought to be at least interesting in other highly civilized countries England, for instance. But it has been hard work to start interest in base ball in England, just about as hard as it has been to start interest in cricket here. Now, however, there Is a change. and baseball in England is decidedly looking up. There are forty clubs in and around London, and as many as four thousand people have been seen at game. XII the umpire" has also been heard, which can be re, garded as pretty sure sign that the game is getting hold.
 We congratulate England on the new fun she is going to have. Baseball is the best game there is. Better than cricket, better than ballhghting, ana better than merging It will do England good and make her seem more cousinly or brotherly.

4 MOTH EATEN STATE.

Good old Massachusetts is certainly a moth-eaten State The gypsy and the tussock moths are reinforced on Boston Common by the leopard moth-- a most injurious creature. Prof. Fernald of the Amherst Agricultural college and Chairman Kirkland of the gypsy moth commission pronounce 1t the most dan- gerous that has ever entered the com monwealth It must be fought at the start, and there are known methods for destroying it by chemical treatment. It lays it's eggs and the larvae bore into the tree, and destroy it, limb by limb, for already in the Public Garden and in Louisbourg square as well as on the Common, ruin is being wrought.
 Sad enough. For years the might and some of the mighty, of Massachu- setts have been opposed to destructive moths. and the moths have had the better of the contest. Now there are mere and worse to fight, and there must be more scientific and unscientifc fighting and money spending. Connecti- cut has reason to hope that the moths will stay in Massachusetts if they must stay anywhere in this section of the country, but they probably will not.

ignore them. There Is no getting away from the philosophy of this pro- posed act, whether in operation it will or will not accomplish all It's creators believe it can. It de- clares it to be the future policy of the State that, when promoters wish to build public service conveniences, they shall chip in some of their own money, as a guarantee of good faith, and not, in the guise of henefactors, take it out of the public, first as investors and sec- ond as the source of dividends on wa tered stock, It can honestly be said of this general assembly that, thus far in it's remarkable career, it has been as sensitive to the allurements of skllful promoters. as children entlced to good behavior by the promise of a piece of pie. The question now is, will it be so indifferent to the morals of the situa- ton as to refuse to pass this bill? We dare not venture an answer,
 We take 1t that the members of the committee creating this proposed law are in earnest and that they will ad- vocate their measure on the floor of the house and senate. If so they will see to 1t that when vote is reached 1t will be taken by yeas and nays. It will be of the greatest importance to know how the representatives of the people vote upon matter affecting their interests. Here is chance to get at the attitude of a body whose lead CTS have to explain to the public that when they insulted the governor they meant to kindly differ with him.

THE MONTH OF ROSES.

When one of the big snow-ploughs of the Consolidated railway went career ing through the streets of New Haven yesterday nobody thought it incongru- ,ous. They knew the central part of the city was free from snow, but they didn't know about Westville, Alling- town or other suburbs.
 This is the month when Heaven lays her warm ear to the earth to see if lit be in tune. If Heaven has done the usual and the poetieal thing this month there is a cold, if not d frozen ear. So far the month has not been as much like June as May was like May. It is almost half gone and if we are to have a real June it will have to be much condensed. The probabii- ties are that we shall not have a real June. We say probabilities, because eternal-springlng hope doesn't war rant anybody in giving up even this June until it is over, and because
 probabilities" leaves chance for anything to happen.
 This is the Month of Roses. Don't forget it, and be not deceived by ap- pearances.

tTIIL ANOTHER.

The Old Home Week idea is spread ing. Fltchburg, Massachusetts, has caught it. At meeting of the board of trade and merchants association a committee of fifteen members was pro- vided for, who shall make plans and set dates for "a monster Old Home Week, merchants week. and trades carnival. .'
 Again we ask, Why not New Haven, tco? No city in the country is better suited for an Old Home Week than New Haven. Such weeks have been highly pleasant and successful in oth- CT cities. They do both the visitors and the visited good They are excellent and far-reachng advertisements for the cities where they are held. They in- crease good feeling all around, add to the strength of families, and are pleas ant to remember. New Haven is pretty wide-awake just now. Why shouldn't she include an Old Home Week in her activities?
