4 prsERrrp PROMOTION.

One Of the most notable and credit
able acts of the Roosevelt admnistra-
ton is the promotion of Edward NJ.
Morgan from assistant postmaster 10
postmaster in chief. Twenty four years
ago Mr.. Morgan was a letter carrier
in the employ Of the New York post
office. He will now take command Of
the institution as result Of his ex-
perience and record. A finer quality of
''the square deal' has not been passed
out since Theodore Roosevelt took the
oath Of office in private library in the
city of Buffalo.
1t is interesting to note that Mr..
Morgan's proposed advancement was
urged not only by his predecessor but
by the thousands who do Business with
the postoff1ce six days in the week They
have come to appreciate his expert
knowledge Of the office and to rely
upon his methodical policies of control
under Mr.. Wilcox. Not to have adj
vanced him to first place would have
been to do violence to a sound princi-
pie of organization. To have appointed
him is to give the most impressive
assurance which it is possible to give
that faithful service under the govern
ment is meaning more and more the
reward of the faithful servant.
1t would be well II every postoffice in
the country was filled by men whose
term depends upon faithful service.
What is needed in postoffice is an
expert mail deliverer, not a politician.
When one is found he should be re-
tanned no matter what the adrninistra-
tons politics.

ANO7HE-R F4TLNRE.

Mr.. Bryan has tried to tell what is a
Democrat and has sadly and volumin-
ously failed The Louisville Courier
Journal hasn't made it quite plain,
Now comes the Charleston News and
Courier saying that Democrat is "A
Southern white man who never says
Mister to a negro"
This definition doesn't seem to COW
er the ground. 1t is too local and 9TH
erwise restricted. 1t may describe one
quality Of southern Democrat but
that is all it does describe. 1t isn't
broad enough to make even one of
the planks in the Democratic national
platform, and an attempt to make il
the whole platform would be
grotesque. So a Democrat isn't yet de-
fined If anybody knows what Dem
ocrat is the time is ripe for the revela-
ton. 1t is going nigh to being believ-
ed that there are no Democrats, or al
least no Democrats definite enough tC
make themselves and others sure thai
they are Democrats.

CIN'T BE KEPT DOWN.

1t is just as hard to keep a funny
man down as 1t is to keep a good man
down. A funny man who is apparent
ly not good man got into a Guada-
loupe prison. Bethinking himself that
the Governor saw all the prisoners
correspondence, he wrote a letter adj
dressed to his dear mother earnestly
exhorting her never to reveal the spot
where he had buried treasure of enor-
nous value. His ruse succeeded. He
was relieved from all labor, invited to
lunch with the Governor and bottles of
champagne were preached for his de-
lectation Then came the day when the
Governor and the deputy gently limited
to the convict that they knew all about
his hidden treasure-all, that is to say,
except just where it was buried. The
convict at first was coy, but after some
days offered to show them the tree be-
meath which the treasure lay. When
darkness fell the trio set out. The
searchers perspired for some hours as
they dug at a spot indicated by the
convict without discovering anything
At length the search was angrily
abandoned and the convict marched
back to prison, where he threw his
fellow prisoners into commissions of de-
light by his narration of the affair.
Though this chap hasn't shown him
self as gigantic humorist as the Ger
man shoemaker who not long ago put
himself at the head of some German
soldiers and successfully ordered the
head man of town to deliver to him

WORfH NOTICING.

AS New Haven ls going to have an
Old Home Week 1t is well enough for
her to notice what other cities which
are going to have Old Home Weeks are
doing in preparation for them. Provi-
dence, in the State where Old Home
turkeys and Old Home clans grow is
going to have an Old Home Week, and
one Of, the suggestions made for 1t was
that the first day should be devoted to

ton has been discussed and cussad, un-

There is no doubt that many of the
people of this country would be glad to
see at least one member of a law
breaking trust in jail If they should
see such a sight they would feel that
there is some adequacy in the law and
that it can be enforced. They were en-
couraged to feel that they were going
to see such a sight when the twenty
three lumber dealers of Toledo, O.,
were sentenced to jail for monopolistic
practices. But in spite of the TWEEN

to prove that the country is about tired
of the agitator and begins to yearn for
the quieter and more effective methods
established by the founders. The men
are not all dishonest. the corporations
are not all corrupt and government is
not altogether rotten. AS has always
been the case it is the odd man or cor
poration or government which is dis
honest. That of itself pleads in behalf
of a form Of government which is the
oldest on earth. We would not, how
ever discourage the agitator. we

The worst difficulty we have to con-
tend with in this country is that so few
places know any standard of real eff
liciency in cleaning streets. Hartford
streets look well to those who know no
bettor ones, but in point of actual
cleanliness they leave a good deal to be
Desired. Part Of the trouble comes from
the large influx of visitors from out OF
town, large in proportion to the fixed
ponllation bur more of it from the
careless and lawless ways Of citizens
who throw refuse into the street al
enough the law forbtds it, and the work
of the street cleaners Is considerably
increased thereby. Another part comes
from insufficient organization of the
cleaning brigade, including in this the
