In ciyics there is the familiar adage
that politics makes strange bedfel-
lowe In railroading there ought to be
some like proverb to express the
strange incongruties that events
bring about and especially those events
that sometimes attend great railroad
merger. 1t is, for example, scant two
years since the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford took in the Ontario &
Western. It's uses in the Connecticut
legislature were immediate and effec-
tive. The New York Central was. as
an offsetting step, seeking a cross-cur
through northwestern Connecticut to
the Boston & Albany line, and was
making its survey, The new line could
be built under the Connecticut general
railroad law. But President MeIlen
flung himself athwart the path. He
appealed in "oper-alr lobby" to the
State Legislature for what was prac-
tieally a repeal of the general railroad
act, Were Connecticut and New Eng
land to be cut off from cheap coal hv
way of the Ontario & Western? Was
the New Haven to be penalized for this
beneiioent act by the legislatures as
sent to the New York Central's cross
cut? The Legislature answered with an
emphatic mo, and granted the re-
pealer. Two short years have PASSED
and 10! the omens point TO return Of
the philanthropic Ontario & Western
to the New York Central as presump-
lively, makeweight in the Boston &
Maine deal. There is another odd his
torical twist in New England railroad
happenings not SO homogeneous as it is
picturesque. It will be recalled how
some fourteen years ago President C.
F. Clark of the New Haven agreed
with the Connecticut River Railroad
company's directors for an absorption
of their snug and profitable property.
reaching up into Boston & Maine in

bought UP, at great price, a majority

shares, blocked the deal and merged the

Now, decade and a hSlf later comes

ven again and eng0rges not only the

New Haven to-day is in q sense a
cosmopolitan city and this fact should
be appreciated by everyone interested
in the success of popular government.
How to mold these heterogeneous ele-
ments into a body animated with deep
respect and obedience to the laws of
the city and how to give them voice
and share in the city government is a
problem that should be studied in a
broad and intelligent spirit, keeping in
mind the principle that all elements as
far as possible should be represented in
the various departments of our city
government.
Again it seems that our city was nat
urally destined to be a leading city,
combining the advantages of a seaport
town and those of an inland city. How
to assist nature in developing the COM
mercial and industrial interests of the
city demands a keen insight into the
vast possibilities of town so situated
and an Imagination capable of devising
ways and means of making the City of
Elms the leading city between Boston
and New York.
Municipal Improvements, sanitary ia
cilitles, clean streets, suitable pave
ments, adequate Fairgrounds and APP
proprlato buildings require careful
thought with the idea of making the
city clean and sanitary as prepara-
ton for the City Beautiful.
The relation between the city and the
various senll-public corporations is a
matter at the present time in an unsat-
isfactory condition, and sooner or later
readjustment of this relation must
be made so that these corporations
may bear their fair share in taxation
and the city may obtain an adequate
return for the valuable franchises
granted to them Such being the con-
ditions of our city to-day what is de-
manded of our next mayor is that he
will rise equal to the occasion, who

take the liberty of jotting down a few
ideas based on observation and fire.
quent conversations with men of all
walks of life.
Formerly, outside of those directly
interested in the outcome of city cleo
tions, the great majority of citizens
felt that their business required all
their time and attention and as a re-
suit left the management of municipal
affairs almost entirely In the hands Of
practical politicians.
But to-day all over the country citi-
gems Of all ranks have come to a real
izing sense that If they wish an up-to-
date, progressive government, they
must do their duty both at the prim-
aries end at the polls on election day.
In many cities citizens have already
taken hand in seeing that honest men
who have strong convictions, who stand
for some principle and who consider
the welfare of the people, represent
them in the city government.
In our own city. as the mayor is the
responsible representative Of the peo-
pie, it is fitting at the present time to
ask what are the qualifications the
mayor of New Haven should possess?
Before answering this question, let us
consider the actual conditions as they
exist in New Haven to-day For better
or for worse our city is no longer DOM
mated by representatives of the old
New England, stock-in numbers they
are declining, although their ideas and
principles continue and will continue
for some time to exert some influence
on local theories of government.
But new conditions demand new
treatment and theories and customs
proper and satisfactory twenty years
ago, no longer satisfy the modern spirit
Of the times.

state. or is failing to perform its dut"
les to the State.
Cornorations should be intrinsic
parts of the State and should repre-
snt the State in their specific actiVi-
ties In this particular there should
be no difference between private and
public corporations. Private corpora
tons should only be permitted when
the result desired is beyond the reach
of individual power or may not be en-
trusted to individual responsibility.
If these views were accepted i
would follow logically that: First,
corporation would be strictly state
affair confined to the territory Of the
creating State and there would be no
possibility by legislative, or other act
of its invading the territory of a sister
State. 1t would be impossible for
state to create corporate powers
reaching beyond its jurisdiction;
equally impossible to permit within its
jurisdiction the exercise of corporate
powers by a foreign corporation.
Second, the offices of a corporation
could only be held by citizens of the
creating State.
Third, direct responsibility to the
state would prevent the disposal OF
corporate powers and privileges ex-
cept by surrender back to the State.
! Absorption in any way whatsoever OF
one corporation by another would be
impossible.
Fourth, the absorption Of the COR
poration of one State by the corpora
ton Of another State would be as inl-
possible as the usurpation of any POI
litical or other function Of one State
by the corresponding function of an
other State.
If these principles had been observ-
ed, even in part, the formation OF
trusts would have been impossible
How trusts are to be terminated withs
out return to these principles seems
equally impossible.

SUNDAY BASEBALL

However.

Bridgeport. July 9-Rev H. 3. Zieg-
Ter, who is rector of st. Georges Epis-
copal church, has lately made a big
objection in that city to Sunday base
ball. On Sunday he preached a sermon
on the subject, taking for his text Acts
xxi:25, Save only that they were to
keep themselves from things offered
to idols" He spoke of public opinion
as an idol which is often opposed TO
the law Of man and God In the pres
.ent case there had been an example Of
both in the efforts to evade the Sunday
law with ball playing. He said, how
ever, that he believed in a very broad
minded view of Sunday observances,
thinking that Sunday was made for
man and not man for Sunday. He
thought God would approve of the
young men of the factories getting
bit of fresh air on Sundays by playing
ball, were he in Bridgeport He might
also approve of swimming and skating.
Sunday means as much physical deyel-
opment as spiritual development, but
he thought God would not approve Of
spending money solely for amusement
be It for cigars or ball games, on Sun
day.

THE nrnxuD cnuRcn At LYME.


Lovers of the old New England

erieved to hear Of the loss by fire, on
Tuesday night Of the famous example
at LYME, Conn. Old Lyme is itself,

the town Of homes of af1iuenee In col

grandees representing the wealth,

Some of these houses exist In their

pillars on the front give 1t the stamp

membered that this front, with Miss

in her white crepe shawl, was one of
the finest pictures in Mr.. Metcalfs ex-
hibition at the st. Botolph last winter.
It won the Corcoran prize and was
purchased by the Corcoran gallery.
The church which has just been de-
stroyed had the same four lofty Ionic
pillars as the front Of the Griswold
house. The broad, Inany-wIndowed
body of the church was surmounted by
steeple which, like all spires of it's
kind, was attributed to Sir Christopher
Wren and was certainly after that
school, so beautifully exemplifled in
our Park street corner church spire,

as Park streets, having been a little

Mysterious Fire In Tree.

New York had a mysterious fire the
other day, which attracted the atten-
ton Of multitude of people. and for
n short time blocked travel and trafiic
on Broadway. An old linden tree near
the Rector street side OF Trinity
churchyard began to emit volumes Of
smoke. and In minute more a tongue
Of fame shot up out Of the hollow
trunk and ignited the scant foliage
and old twigs. What started the tree
to blaze up Is matter OF guesswork.
but no doubt 1t was caused by spon-
taneous combustion. The old tree. or
what is left Of the original trunk, is
only IL feet high, and long ago all
else but the trunk and what remains
OF the old roots under the ground
have disappeared.
