SOME MEETINGS ON THE GREEN.

Interesting and apparently import ant meetings are taking place in these days on the New Haven Green, where many interesting and important meet ings have been held Thousands of sparrows assemble there, and in a quiet and orderly way do whatever they have come to do and then ad- journ till the next meeting. Is the sparrow legislature in session? Is it considering the menacing government report recently made which asserts that sparrows are no good? Or is the assembly purely local and devoting it. self to New Haven sparrow politics :? Whatever it is, it is setting good ex- ample to the human beings who are privileged to see the meetings. There Is no disturbance, no "sassing" of dig nitaries or of each other, and business seems to go on as business ought to in any assembly, but often does not.
 Is 1t possible that these meetings are held to hear the statements of sparrows from Bridgeport in support of Bridgeport's claim to be the second city in the State? If they are the New Haven sparrows are wonderfully po- lite. Nobody has heard them laugh?

4 CHfCAGO NOTION.

Not long ago 1t was little more than hinted that "pulr' was at times efficacious in the New Haven school system. Not much attention was paid to the matter, because, for one reason, along about that time push" was more obvious in the system than pull" But there are school systems where the "pulr' evil has become so conspicuous that the board of educa- ton has found it necessary to openly resist it. This is the case in, Chicago, where an "anti-pult' rule has been adopted, The president of the board states compactly the philosophy of the rule. Teachers who use pull will stand less show of promotion than those who don't" he says. "If they are the best persons for the place why should they want to get outside influ- ence to work in their behalf?"
 The inquiry of the Chicago educator is a very proper one. It might be an- swered by saying that the teachers of Chicago have perhaps learned that merit hasn't been sufficient ground for promotion. If 1t Is going to be now they will doubtless be glad and will do their part toward doing away with pull" And if the 'anti-pulp' rule works well in Chicago it should be adopted in other cities where it is needed.

TORTH ATTENTION.

The Alabama State Bar Association, after pointing out that in good old New England there are twelve times as many homicldes in proportion to population as in wicked old London, proposes the amendment of the State laws as follows: No judgment shall be set aside or new trial granted in any case, civil or criminal, on the ground of misdlrection of the jury or the inn proper admission or rejection of evil dence, or for error as to any matter of pleading or procedure, unless, in the opinion of the court to which the application is made, after an eXamina- tion of the entire cause, it shall affirm atively appear that the error com plained of has resulted in miscar- riage of justice.
 It is perfectly true that in this eoun- ltry the law and public opinion are pretty good to criminals as a rule. So good that some thoughtful people think that criminals have a better show than they really deserve. Perhaps a little curtailment of their rights and privileges wouldn't hurt anybody but them and it might not unduly hurt them. A good many people are tired of Thaw trials and other trying trials.

solved many social problems which are racking the best brains of the people of elder cities. The telephone monopoly is in their own hands, for they own the stock of the Farmers telephone company and everybody gets unlimited service for $12 a year, while the com have a fruit growers union which se- cures the best price for fruit for all the members. The union owns the fruit growers warehouse and eastern buyers are on hand promptly to buy at from $l50 per short. bushel boxes or anples at the warehouse The western irrigated apples are never shipped in barrels; they are wrapped and packed Nike oranges in boxes. And the trees bear every year with the regularity Of clock work.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
The Plnchrd Rich.
ntfa


 The well-to-do are as yet the chief sufferers from the money-p pinch. The papers report very extensive relinquish- ment of automobiles by owners who are suffering from fiscal disabilities, and are going back to roller-skates. Per sons addicted to fashionable life tell of severe embarrassment among their &C., quaintances, especially those who have been cut down from easy circumstances to incomes of about $50,000 year and have had to change their habits. They are not joking when they say this. To families that have been used to live on 5000, $10,000. $15,000 or $20,000 year $50,000 income looks like affiuenco, but when a household has adjusted it. self to an annual expenditure twice or thrice as great as that 1t seems poor awkward sum, overlarge for pictur- esque simplicity, and not big enough for real style. Fifty thousand year is the income of only about one million, When one considers how moderate a fortune that is considered in these days to be, the pinch of the S5o,000 in- comes can be easier understood.

LOUKING UP.

A few years ago "the abandoned farms" of New England were much in evidence. Then it began to be per ceived that New England was a good place to live in and keep summer boarders in. Since then a good deal of money has been put into the Sum- mer business in New England. It Is estimated that s5,O0O,O0O has lately been expended on hotels in the White Mountains An equal amount has been invested in Vermont; $10,000, 900 in Massachusetts, and s4,OOo,oOO in Con- uecticut Abandoned farms are no

THE MAINE REMEMBERED.

It is to be hoped that when our no- ble and costly battleships go to the Pacific none of them will strike left over mine, or be blown up in any oth- CT way. Remember the Maine, and re- member that the Spanish war succeed ed the blowing-up of the Maine.
 Meanwhile, it is interesting to notice that resolution asking President Roosevelt to include in this next mes- sage to congress a recommendation for the raising of the battleship Maine, in Havana harbor, was lately reported by the resolution committee of the Span ish war veterans, in session in sandus- ky, Ohio, and it is said that this is the precursor of an active agitation to be undertaken throughout the coun- try, having this object in view. The object of the Spanish war veterans is to have the remains of those American sailors who perished in the blowing up of the ill-fated vessel recovered and given decent burial
 It can be further urged that if the Maine should be raised the real cause of the disaster might be made plain even at this late day It is nine years since the explosion, and most people still believe that it was the result of Spanish plot, though this belief has ben shaken in some by what has hap pcned to other United States ships.

Ine An&eluSs Bells of the Past, whose long-forgotten
 music
 Still fills the wide expanse. Tingeing the sober twilight of the With color of romance! I hear your call, and see the sun de-
 scending
 On rock and wave and sand, AS down the coast the mission voices Gtrdle the heather land. Within the circle of your incantation No blight nor mildew falls; Nor fierce unrest, nor lust, nor low ann Passes those airy walls Borne on the swell of your long waves
 receding,
 I touch the farther Past I see the dying glow of Spanish glory, The sunset dream and last! Before me rise the Iome-shaped mission

 The white Preside; The swart commander in his leathern The priest in stole of snow. Once more I see Portala's cross up

 Above the setting sun; And past the headland, northward slowly drifting, The freighted galleon. o solemn bells, whose consecrated masses Recall the faith of old o tinkling bells! that lulled witt twilight music The spiritual fold!
