MUD -SLINGING.

Our morning contemporary, the organ of the g D and of the mud singing campaign committee, as well as of the many fakirs who conceal themselves behind the nom de plumes asks what is mud singing and then proceeds to answer it's own question as follows:
 What is mud slinging, anyway? The common idea is that it is de- scent to personalities which have no real bearing upon an issue or the bringing of unfounded charges against an opponent. To lie about a man is to throw mud at him. It's an ineffective sort of process, for the mud cant really injure him although the throwing of it may hurt his feel ings, and it is easily washed off,
 Is Congressman Lilley a mud sling CT. Here is what he said at the He brew republican rally yesterday:
 Tt is charged that thirteen fore men have been empolyed on the town roads under Mayor Thoms' admins tration, where only two were requir- ed under the Elton administration, and in spite of his army of foremen the roads are in a worse condition than they have been in for years"
 The records of the street depart ment show that on Oct. l, 1905, un- der the Elton administration there were seven foremen in the street de- partment, six of them at $3 per day and one at $350. Two years later Oct. 1, 1907, under the Thoms admin there were also seven fore men, all receiving $500 per day. It looks from these figures as though Lilley is the one that should shut up ike clam.

The most cursory examination of
 the circulation of the money in the
 United States treasury, says a writer
 in the Engineering magazine, will
 suffice to reveal its pinched condition
 and inadequate supply As a matter of fact it consists entirely of paper notes and small change, whose com bined sum does not exceed 2,OOO mill
 lions On August l the treasury re- ported: Money in circulation, D. 7Sl millions; population S6 millions; circulation per capita, $32." No such statement is required by law; it is not official; it is entirely voluntary; and it is false. There is no such amount of money in circulation; nor even is there so much money in the country. The statement includes 566 millions of gold coin, which are wholly fictitious. Last month, in de- ference to the oft-repeated objections to this item, the treasury threw of 1S5 millions from its estimate of gold coin in circulation. ,t remains for it to throw of 500 millions more: it being a liberal estimate to assume that there are 66 millions circulating in country where. eXcept to a small extent in the Pacific states, gold coin is never seen at all The treasury may deceive the people, hut it cannot deceive the dealers in bullion and foreign exchange: nor is there any necessity to deceive anybody. The credit of this country needs no such crutCh.

The wheat crop, reports Banker
 Clews, is a fair one in quantity and
 very profitable in price. A liberal
 corn crop has been pronounced at
 good prices, but unfortunately frost
 during the middle of the week inflict-
 ed some injury. Corn and cotton are
 our two heaviest crops, and as these
 are still exposed to more or less in-
 jury from frost, it is premature to be
 over-confident regarding them. Our
 farmers, however, are sure of a prof
 itable season. They are out of debt
 and in position to hold for good
 prices. Europe is likely to be free
 buyer of our agricultural products,
 which at the current level of values
 will be an important factor in our international trade balance and
 should provide a liberal supply of commercial bills. Our working class
 es also with few exceptions are we'll
 employed at good wages, so that with
 these two favorable factors, it does
 not seem probable that the country will have to face this year anything more than a moderate recession in
 business activity. It should not be forgotten, however, that we are in state of class prosperity, not general prosperity. Our farmers and our la borers at present are the most pros porous classes in the country, but itl cannot be said that their prosperity is universal The wealthy classes have suffered enormous losses, and professional classes are suffering from high cost of living, with no chances whatever of securing con- pensation through better returns for their labor. Our prosperity, there fore, is not well distributed, and this being the fact, further readjust- ment must be inevitably faced: more likely by levelling down than by levelling up. Genuine prosperity consists in abundance and not in scarcity, and in advantages which | can be shared by all rather than by | yielding exceptional profits to favor ed classes.

WATERBURY MONDAY SEPTEMBER

In his recent speech at Jamestown. Judge Parker performed great pub
 lie service by analyzing the funda- mental policy of the Roosevelt reg
 ime He quoted from the text of the
 presidents Harrisburg speech the words: We need, through execu- tive action, through legislative action and through judicial interpretation and construction of law, to increase the power of the federal government.
 If we fail thus to increase it we show our impotence" Judge Parkers principal objection to this revolution ary, not to say reasonable policy,wa
 in substance that it is brazen, un
 equivocal proposal to substitute for commissions that in the end, through successive expansions of the con- merce clause of the constitution, might cover almost every incident of productive energy, Not by consti- tutional amendment, but through the concerted action of the executive, the legislative and the judicial depart ments of the federal government. That it was, in other words, pro- posal to change essentially the form of government in these United States by the creation of commissions em- powered to deal judicially with spec ial subjects; by the conferring upon the same commissions of legislative functions, through delegation of the power committed to congress by the constitution; and finally by commit ting to the executive the unrestricted power of appointing and removing the members of such commissions; thus in practical effect concentrating in the hands of the executive alone unlimited power. Judge Parker has discovered the real issue upon which the next campaign must be fought and he has presented it with clear ness which will command attention.

WANTS SCALP OF BARTLETT
President Says Jurist Must Not Be
 Nominated by Republicans.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Orders have gone out from the White House thai Justice Willard Bartlett of Brooklyn must not be nominated by the Repub lican state committee in New York as one of the two candidates for judges of the court of appeals this fall.
 President Roosevelt is opposed to Willard Bartlett as member of Sena. tor McCarren's Democratic organiza. tion, but still more so as man who, the president believes. is responsible for many of the most virulent attacks that have been made on his admins. tration in the public press for the last three years. MT. Roosevelt has been informed and believes that Justice Bartlett is the author of certain ed. itOrial articles that have appeared from time to time in a New York newspaper. which have been note. worthy for the biting sarcasm in which they have treated of the, presidents policies. principally in the matter of trust regulation.
