Of course 1t Is not at all surprising that when the Hon. Hannis Taylor began to look for the author of tone of the most important principles of our Federal government" he found that he was q Connecticut man. MT. Taylor tells about it in the North American Review. He points out that our Federal system is the first In which the central government operat- ed directly upon individual citizens, and not upon the States themselves "The idea of supreme Federal gov ernment." says MT. Taylor, strictly organized, and operating directly on the citizen, and not on the States composing the federation, was the in- ventlon, without doubt or cavil. of Pe- latiah Webster, 8 native of Connecti- cut, an adopted son of Pennsylvania, and graduate of the University of Yale"
 Pelatiah Webster was born at Le- banon, Conn.,, in 1725, and died at Philadelphia in 1795. He was the au- thor of pamphlet published in 17SS, in which was elaborated Q plan of creating @ Federal government that should not be dependent on the States but should operate directly on the cit- izen, That was Pelatiah Webster's contribution to the science of govern- ment," remarks MT. Taylor, flor which the world had been waiting for more than 2,OoO years" The principle evolved by Webster, and adopted by the framers of our constitution, gave the Federal government power to de. fend itself against disunion and seces- sion, and strengthened the feeling o1 nationality, It marks the difference between success and failure in oul Federal experiment.
 MT. Taylor further points out that Pelatiah Webster's grandeur is equal ed only by the neglect of his fellow. oountrymen. If the grandeur is as de. scribed by MT. Taylor the neglect cer, tainly is, We hereby do what we car hp exat the name and fame of on' of Connectleuts noblemen.

upon matters of administration where railroads are concerned. They are fitted to pass upon the matter of pol- icy in the consideration of chartered rights and other things which deter mine the relationship the two are to have, but when 1t comes to conducting a business which the State has given life to in any such way as to disar- range it's accustomed success the power of the State is abused. Rail- roads are human institutions and will do human things, but in order to get them to do the right thing by the public it is not necessary for the State to interfere in the management of the business itself. The policy of the State of Connecticut, for example, is in this regard the sanest of any State in the Union. After a long ex- perience with it's railroads. some of which has been trying to It's soul, 1t has decided to recognize them as nat ural monopoIles and put them then
 on their mettle as common carriers likely to have their prosperity jared if they play the game unfairly. It is safe to say that the New Haven
 Railroad company feels its responsi-
 bility far more than it would feel it if
 Connecticut should undertake to fol-
 low the example of many of the
 States which this winter have de-
 bauched themselves with socialistio

PRETTY GoUD oHINAMAN.

This is world of ohanges Not so very long ago the Pacific coast re- sounded with complaints against the Chinese, who, it was shouted, were going to ruin the coast by cheap la bor, bad morals, and few other bad things. Now that same coast is re- sounding with complaints against the Japanese, and in order to make those complaints more noticeable die com- plainers. who, by the way, are the same ones who used to complain against the Chinese, are now saving that the Chinaman has ne' CT worked for low wages, demanding always tho highest; that he has done wor.g that white men would not dr. -~buiit roads, worked on farms and orchards and in canneries and in all sorts of dom~ estic service; rarely competing for jobs desired by white men, getting jobs where there was a shortage of hands and crowjing out no one, The Chinaman is patient, faithful, makes his employers interests his own and

4 TIMELY pECTsroN.

A Pennsylvania judge has just de- cided in a case before him that even candidate for office ought not to be attacked falsely.
 This decision is timely, and it Is to be hoped that it will do some good. Of course when man runs for office he must expect frank criticism" He must expect to hear that his ancestors were no good and that he is worse. He must expect to hear that he is so much worse than his fellow citizens that he was picked out by some of them with the object of convincing him and the rest of the folks that he is not fit to hold office. He must ex- pect to hear that in comparison with the chap nominated by the other side he is as a whited sepulchre to clean cremation. He must expect<to hear that he is not a friend of Labor or a friend of idleness, not a friend of rum or friend of soda-water, etc, etc. II he is a man who cannot stand any thing more than such frank criti- cism" he will be glad to know that he has legal remedy if anybody happens to say anything about him that isn't true.

WARM WEArHER POLITICS.

The New London correspondent ot the Hartford Times is worried over the possibly disastrous effect of Con- gressman Lilley's attack of the fed eral administration for preparing tn send sixteen battleships to the Pacific. He does not believe that President Roosevelt is the kind of man to sit down quietly and lick the hand that struck him.
 Here is one of the ways the New London correspondent sees the big stick swinging in the air: "It wouldn't be necessary for the President of the United States and his great naval .d mirers to come out in the open to get back at George Lilley. For instance, they could let it be understood that there would be great satisfaction among the Presidents political friends and among the naval officers if Lieu tenant-Governor Lake carried off the prize for the nomination of governor and that he was their choice for that honor"
 When the big stick gets to swirling in the snug little State of Connecticut it will be well if all who can stay in

For fighting fire in its anthracite coal mines a chemical fire engine is now being used by company in Pennsylvania. This engine is built on truck which can run upon tracks throughout the mine. When an alarm of fire is sounded the engine is attached to an electric mine loccnno- tive and rushed to the scene of trou- ble at high speed. Water played upon q coal fire is almost Instantly con- |verted into steam, which further dis- Iintegrates, forming a gas So suHocats Ing that 1t drives away the men l fighting the fire. Blue flames which shoot out when water strikes the ho' coal often set ablaze pockets of gas in the ceiling. When a chemical on zine plays upon burning coal the
 heavy gases evolved cling to the foo, and smother the blaze by excluding
 the air. Men are not annoyed by the fumes, and can stay close enough to
 do effective work.

The Hall of Fap,e.
(Hartford Times.l

The apprehension that the AIneri- can Hall of Fame may become "an object of derision," is little belated
 It is forced growth and is meant to include so much that 1t Is impossible all the names cemmemorated should appeal strongly to those not chiefly
 interested in the kind or achievement these names represent. But this Is not the real trouble. No attempt to choose a considerable number of names which have added glory to American literature but omits that of Edgar Allan Poe can escape be- coming an object of derision, In a lesser way the same thing may bo said of James Fenlmore Cooper, Mr. Edmund Clarence Stedmap has done well 10 appeal for some change in the method of voting which shall al least remove this reproach, and it seems probable that part at least ol what he asks will be accomplished.

They are tricky in business, will break bargains and evade contracts, and do many other things that the noble white nan and the faithful and contented China man do not do.
 Of course the Chinaman is too busy and too smart to laugh at the way his merits have found recognition. But ho is doubtless pleased by the change in the weather.

PRETTY CoNsoIENTToUS.

The English clergyman who has re- fused to take any life insurance on the ground that he would be betting sor gambling with the Almighty will be considered more notional than de- vout or sensible. There was a time when if a clergyman had declined to have his life insured because he would be betting or gambling with the com pany that insured him he might not have been looked on as very queer. But now things are different, and a man can make pretty fair business deal with a good life insurance company. A life insurance agent might call on that conscientious clergyman and tell him that the Almighty had put it into the heads of smart men to found inc surance companies so that good men and their families might be somewhat relieved from the worry attendant on uninsured life, and that instead of fly- ing in the face of Providence by get ting his life insured a man is most emphatically flying with Providence
 We don't know what life insurance agents are in England, but in this country there are many agents who couldn't rest until they had added that clergyman to their collection.
