Merger Legislation.

After reiterated denials, President
Mellen, of the New Haven, has made
official acknowledgment of the in
tention to merge the interests and
eventually the properties of the
New Haven and the Boston and
Maine systems. His letter to Gov
ernOr Guild paints very aliuring
picture of the advantages to Boston
which this amalgamation portends.
His declarations regarding rates and
service, both freight and passenger,
leave little TO be wished for, and his
somewhat ford statement of the
honesty of intention as regards
stock watering and law abiding
would be almost unbelievable from
the lips of less truthful man.
Possibility exists, however, that
Mr.. Mellen might, through some UNI
foreseen cause, be unable to carry
out all his promises, and because
some future board of directors of
the New Haven system might think
that the promises made by Mr. Mel
len were not altogether along its line
of policy. The governor does well,
therefore, to advise that such re-
strictions as the Legislature deems
advisable shall be put in the COM
polling form of State laws, which
will be at least more imposing if not
more binding than promises.
The adoption of the governors
suggestion for legislation means a
deferring of propagation, but it
should be time well spent, and suf-
icient time should be taken to give
the whole plan thorough analysis
and careful consideration.

Mr.. Bryan on the Tariff.

The last man who, in the present
temper of the country about the
tariff, should be expected to mini
mize the Importance of the tariff
issue is Mr.. Bryan. Ii was a great
speech on the tariff that first at
tracted the nations attention to
Mr.. Bryan. That was the Nebras-
kan's issue before he was known as
an advocate of free silver; and if
he had stuck TO his first text he
would be far stronger today with
the country.
Mr.. Bryan thinks the problems of
railroads and the trusts are para
mount today, and tariff secondary.
But how will il be a year hence,
when the national conventions are
meeting? There is everything TO in
Gicate that by that time the rail-
road question will have been brought
still nearer 10 solution by reason of
the important legislation which Mr..
Roosevelt proposes to press upon
Congress next winter. There may
not be enough left of the railroad
question, a year hence, to make a
respectable issue. Not that il vii!
be settled. Far from it. But there
is likely to bo by that time SO much
new and advanced legislation re-
garding il that the next step for
ward will be impossible Of calcula-
I'tion until experience shall have
shown the merits and dement's of
the new laws.
The tariff. on the other hand, will
still contain all the possibilities OF
an issue. There will be for the
Democrats the argument that in
seven years from McKinIey's Buffalo
speech demanding revision, the Re-
publican party has made no effort
at response. There will be the
proposition that real revision can
not be expected from a party whose
/ leaders are Cannon in the House
and Aldrich in the Senate There
will be, in short, the whole question
of whether good-faith revision-re-
vision that will revise, revision that
will really change present condi-
tions-can be expected from the Re-
publican party.
There WIZ lie the great opportun-
ity for Democracy. 1t should, of
course, declare for the fullest meas
ure of railroad regulation and con-
troll; but, unless we sadly mistake,
the tariff will be, a year hence, the
real paramount issue in this coun-
try, and railroads a secondary. The
force of circumstances is likely yet
to force his party to disagree with
Mr.. Bryan when it drafts plat
form, and to give the place of honor
to the tariff.

Doing for Themselves.

In order to increase the commerce and
trade between Canada and the west
Indies, a committee representing the
boards of trade OF the several business
centers OF the Dominion, on the sugges-
lion OF Sir Daniel Morris. chief OF the
imperial department OF agriculture in
these colonies. have been making tour
OF the West Indies, going as far south

and st. John. New Brunswick.
A large meeting was held under the
auspices of the St Kits Agricultural
and Commercial Society. Addresses
were given by the delegates explaining
the special object of their mission, and
that they desired in a practical manner
to discuss with those present the whole
subject of extending Canadian trade to
the West Indies, and particularly in
relation to those articles of export which
were largely imported from the United
States.
This activity on 5he part of Cana

men generally. Unlike our Ameri-
can National Board of Trade, these

solely in obtaining ship subsidy and
other legislation. They believe in
doing things for themselves.

PrOsaic Law and Poetic Kisses.

What a ponderous thing is the law
when it passes heavy judgment on a
thing so airy and poetic as a kiss,
To be sure in this case the mega
phone of human justice-it was Po-
lice Magistrate Whitman, of New
York - reverently approved the
pledge and privilege of affection
which had hailed a well-dressed
young clerk before him. Even so,
the courts and the statutes did not
thereby lessen their ponderosity or
dim the shining light of the kiss
as a thing far, far out of their do
main.
A policeman it was who sought
to fetter loves salutation, and he
did so thus clumsily:
This here young man was standing on
Second avenue. near Twenty-eighth
street. last night, talking to three girls.
Just as 1 came I'D he kissed one OF the
girls. So with that 1 tells him TO move
on. and he tells me he amt doing moth
ing against the law. and ! runs him IN.
Did the young man deny it? Did
he try to prove an abb? Not on
your lifel He had tasted of that
kiss and he knew how far it was
above the awkward reach of a po-
lice court. SO he traverses the cops
poor testimony with this:
Your honor. I wasn't drinking and /
wasn't disorderly; the officer will tell
you that. | was standing there with
MY lady friend. when he told me to
move on. and I wouldn't do Il. I did
kiss her. but there's no law that know
Of against kissing girl if she doesn't
object.
OF course, the whole case fell to
the ground right there. But the
earth-trodden judge made one feeble
effort more to bring this ethereal
greeting within his ken by asking:
Did the girl obiect?" The police
man was bound TO admit that she
kind o. liked it, Then the judge,

Repairing 1.-The Avenue. "

A great fuss is naturally being
made over the condition of Pennsyl-
vania avenue. For a stretch of half
mile it is all torn up; the cars
move slowly; carriages, wagons, and
automobiles are congested at every
crossing within the repair zone; and
at Ninth street the great thorough
fare is practically impossible
Well, as says one o. our mer-
chants whose important business is
located at the spot of greatest con-
fusion and dirt, you can't have an
omelet without breaking the eggs"
Washington can't have new Avenue
with curbs reset, new parks laid
out, the street resurfaced, and the
car tracks raised above the flood
level, without tearing up the old.
The very people who kick Ioudest
about the inconvenience of the con-
struction would wall pitifully if the
Avenue were kept in repair solely by
means of patches.
Nevertheless
1t is imperative the work should be
done with the least possible incon-
venience and the greatest. possible
expedition. For the first result the
Commissioners have ordered that
only one side of the broad thorough
fare shall be torn up at time. For
the second, they should now order
that the contractor work twenty
four hours a day.
An understanding prevails that the
District authorities do not regard
the situation as urgent enough to
justify such a course. Others will
hardly concur in that Judgment, as
they pick their way to the stores
they mean TO patronize, or stand be-
fore those stores and see possible
/ patrons file round displaced curb
stones to buy elsewhere. But if the
Commissioners hold to this view
they can at least order that the
work be done at night rather than
in the day. Electric wires are no.
where in Washington more abundant
than on Pennsylvania avenue. Expe-
rience in scores of other cities
proves the complete feasibility of
working on such tasks by electric

Big Musical Pay.

The money received by great and
celebrated grand opera singers is a
perennial subject of amazed COM
ment. Says writer in the Pitts
burg Dispatch:
The pay of successful musicians is
a constant encouragement To the am
bilious amateur. Melba receives s., 500
for each appearance, Sembrich 5000,
Games the net receipts NOrdica 81 500.
and Schumann-Heink, the most popu-
lar woman on the American stage,
$500 1t is not strange that the knowl-
edge Of this causes so many girls with
voices to aspire to the same lucrative
places. No wonder that when Mr. Saw
age advertised for chorus girls in
Parsifai 1000 applicants responded.
They all had dreams Of the days when
uey might be queens of song. In COM
parson with the income OF other profess
sions, the salary OF the occasional sue
cessfui singer seems unbelievable. The
annual earnings Of the average qualified
physician in the United States is not
over $500 year. In 467 American cities
The teachers receive from $500 to $500.
Certainly the great do receive
large, though scarcely "unbeliev-
able" wages. But it must be re-
membered that it is because they
are the very, very few out of the
enormous army of failures and me-
oiOcrities. And does not the same
rule apply to people of other profess
sions? Does not the celebrated sur
geOn make as much in a year as the
opera singer? Or the lawyer of the
highest rank? Or the corporation
head of pre-eminent ability? A
Melba is not overpaid when for
$4,000 she draws $4,000 into the
opera house, whereas the $500 wom-
an might nos draw S1,5OO The la
borer is worthy of his hire, whether
he is DR.. Bull, Paul Morton, or

TO prove how poetic thread still
runs through the bloodless statutes
of the state, declared: The young
man is right. ct is easy to imagine
his Eliza-crossing-the-ice look as he
spoke.) It's no crime to kiss a girl
in New York street if she doesn't
object"
Wen, the judge did his best. He
put the law on the right side, any
way. But down here in Washington
we may be pardoned for wondering
what difference it would have made
if he had decided for the policeman.
The law has nothing to do with
kisses. If there were an absolute
prohibition of them on every page
of the code we should like to see
the judge that could enforce it
against his own daughter.
