MT Hearst is about to organize his Independence league into national party, and has decided that here after the league will have nothing to do with the two older parties. This determination is said to have been taken because MT Bryan refused to support MT Hearst for tue nomina- tion for president at the last na- tional democratic convention, when he voted for Senator Cockrill of Missouri. It is also reported that in the event of MT Bryan's nomina- tion for president, the league will make a nomination on purpose to defeat Mir Bryan. How democrats will view this will develop later, but that many will drop MT Hearst's newspapers as organs of democracy is certain.

There is no penalty for understat- ing or concealing bullion exports. says a writer in the Engineering Magazine. Banking houses which deal in foreign exchange are not anx- ious to publish their bullion exports. Moreover, a great deal of gold is car ried out of the country by travellers. Hence the returns of exports are de- ficient and misleading. A similar re- mark applies to gold consumed in the arts. The returns are non-com- pulsory, non-oficial. and largely de- ficient. These and other sources of error have been accumulated in the treasury statement of circulation for eighteen years. with the result of creating an imaginary mountain of gold. where there Is in fact only a mole hill. Substantially. the only gold in the country is in the treasury and the banks, and is not in circula- ton at all. The remedy for the trou- ble is in the hands of the treasury. which for some unexplained reason is heaping up an idle balance of near ly five hundred millions. When this war chest is permitted 70 enter the exchanges there is every reason to believe that the passing financial cloud will disappear.

ACCIDENTAL MEETING.
Two Brothers Meet After Eight Years
 Separation.

New Britain, Oct. 5.-A foreman in one of the local factories employed an Italian immigrant, a while ago, and sent him to work on a press in one of the rooms A moment later he heard loud laughing and shouting from that direction and on going to inves- tigate saw the new employe and one of his old men dancing around, kiss ing each other first on one che ek, then on the other, and folding each other in their arms.
 On further investigation he found that the two men were brothers. One had left home eight years before ani had finally settled kere. The other, on landing in America. had, by chance, come to New Britain, entirely is norant of tie fact that his brotnei was here, had received employment in the very same factory in which his brother was working, and had been assigned to the press directly beside his brothers.
 As the newcomer stepped before his machine the brother looked up, stared a moment, and then rushed at him. Those who witnessed it thought at first that two old enemies had met, but they soon saw that it was only a love feast" A few realized that they had seen some of the happiest moments and probably the most dra- matic ones in the lives of those two men.

 The fame of Bismarck and his faithful helpers is secure enough in all German annals; and in the case of the Grand Duke Frederick, who was nearly the last survivor of that great period, his death will fill the Germany of to-day with sense of personal loss.-Hartford Cor"ant.
 Secretary Straus of the depart ment of commerce and labor iiIdulged in some rather blunt talk at the con- vention of cotton manufacturers to- day. He practically held MT Wu responsible for inspiring tho anti American boycott in China, and he showed his contempt for an urneces- sarily high ta.iff. This kind of talk is decidedly interesting, apart from any question of its diplomacy.-Ex- change.

with the republican understrappers at the helm. This has been pretty much the case all the summer, since the president left early in June. No other administration has such a rec ord for absenteeism. Nor has any other administration spent so much time on partisan politics and inter- ference with local party squabbles. Every kind of excuse has been made to send out the cabinet officials and their assistants to do the preliminary work to round up delegates to the next republican national convention. Secretary Taft has made speeches in all the states where he could do any good; Secretary Metcalf has been for months in California and the other Pacific states; Secretary Cortelyou has been in New York, in close touch with Wall street and the New York politicians; Secretary Bonaparte has been rusticating in Canada and his Maryland country home, and incl dentally has helped to muddle up re- publican prospects in Maryland; Sec retary Meyer has been boosting up Senator Lodge for control of the Mas sachusetts delegates; Secretary Gar field besides spending the summer in the west, ostensibly on government business, but really on politics, then took another month at home in Cleveland to help fix up the proposed defeat of Tom Johnson for mayor by the presidents favorite, Congress- man Burton; Secretary Wilson has been travelling all over the west at government expense, and if the truth were known, the other cabinet mem bers have not paid out much from their private purses on their political junkets.

INFECTED CLANS CAUSE DEATH
Physician Believes William Bird Con.
 tracted Typhoid from Mullosks.

Bridgeport, Oct. 5.-That eating raw clans which had become infected from sewage near the mouth of Yel- low mill pond caused typhoid fever from which William Bird died at his home 241 Beardsley street, about a week ago. is the belief of physicians.
 In view of considerable controversy between physicians as to the causes of many cases of typhoid now existing in this city this statement has pe- culiar interest. MT Bird died from typhoid after being i'll from the dread disease about eight weeks.
 He was formerly employed in the Stratford avenue plant of the Ameri- can Tube & Stamping Co. At the noon hour at this plant it is custom ary for some of the employees to go down to the shore and dig clans. The men did not always cook the clans but often ate them lon the half she'll"
 NIT Bird. it is said, was very fond of the she'll fish and was accustomed to eat them fresh from the water The bivalves were frequently dug from the banks of the mouth of Yel- low mill pond. Into this stream emp ties considerable sewage and it is be- lieved the mollusks were infected.
 About eight weeks ago Mr Bird was taken i'll. The illness developed into typhoid and he rapidly became worse. Mir Bird. never used milk, either as a straight beverage or in his tea or coffee. it is said. so that his dis ease cannot be attributed to impure milk.
 Dr N T. Pratt. the deceasedis fam fly physician. attended him during about seven weeks of his illness Dr Pratt is of the opinion that the ty- phoid came from the raw clans

The coming winter will be a hard one for the housewife with limited pocketbook, for in addition to the average increase in prices of all com modities of over 50 per cent there is a further advance in the cities over last year of nearly 30 per cent in food stuffs. Under such extraordi- nary conditions wages and incomes should increase, but the general trend is for lower wages, or at least to stand still for the time being. Yet the republican politicians are shout ing that every one is prosperous and the sacred tariff which protects the trusts must be preserved.
