be specific, is worded as follows:

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-08-16

Attorney General Bonaparte's talk about putting the trust magnates in jail has stirred up a hornets nest and he is getting it right and left. His utterances are said to be respon- sible for the present furry in the stock markets at home and abroad. A New York paper says that the loose and vague language of the attorney general has been the height of in- discretion. Such jaunty and half testing words as MT Bonaparte now utters would be improper at any time in the chief law officer of the govern ment; at juncture when the mar kets are in state of high nervous excitement, 1t is almost incendiary for the attorney-general to talk about the corporation game being so thick that he can fire anywhere into the covey and fill his bag. Clarence Darrow, as the attorney-general of William J. Bryan, might be expected to deliver himself after that fashion; we look for something different from man who weighs his words and reads the signs of the times.

Exclusive of the juvenile delin- quents in special institutions for that class, and exclusive of persons i'm prisoned for the non-payment of fines, S1,772 sane persons at least 5 years of age were serving sentences in civil prisons on June 30, 1904, Out of every million >erso1s in the estimated population of that date l.. 006 were prisoners. On June l, 1S.u, the total number of pris)n was only 66,S03, but the number lu each million of the population was 1,O67. The fact that the ratio of prisoners to. population has decreased should not be regarded, however, as indicat- ing a diminished tendency toward crime. The fourteen-year period be- tween the censuses has been marked by the establishment of probation and parole systems, by movement against the use of short prison sen- tences for minor otfenses. and by the introduction of other forms of len iency. As a result many minor of- lenders who would have been sent to prison in 1890 escaped that penalty in the later years Of the period, and thus the ratio of prisoners 10 popu- lation Las decreased. Whether crime has also decreased cannot be deter mined from the figures.

Asked by a Hartford newspaper man what were his chances for be. coming governor of Connecticut the Hon George L. Lilley made the fol. lowing characteristic reply: q have already told you that I know of but two active republican leaders who are opposing me, MT Paige and MI Healy. The convention is more than a year away, and the people of Connecticut will have a good deal to say in the meantime. It is too early to predict. too hot to worry and too silly to guess. I prefer to leave all that to the other fellows" II looks like a sure thing for G. L. if what he says be true, but even though the ex-footballist Lake is not getting his name in the papers SC often he may be making hay. This is good hay weather in more senses than one, and the Waterbury man better keep an eye to the northeast. When asked if he didn't want to be governor just to pave the way for a place in the senate. the congressman at large said: A man with his eye fixed on a seat in the senate would do far better to remain ConneCticut's congressman-at-large than to become it's governor. The congressman has more patronage, more opportunities to honestly aid those whose support would count in a senatorial contest, more advantages in every way. while his chances for rousing antagonism are markedly less. The governor of Connecticut, with a few appoint ments to apportion, is usually in the unfortunate plight of Colonel Pete Hepburn. the rate bill man. Colonel Hepburn ayers that every time he has one appointment at his disposal he is besieged by 100 applicants, with the invariable result that his de- eision is productive of ninety-nine enemies and one ingrate- For a con- gressnan to chose a route to the senate. by way of the governorship. is absurd

 In so far as the hysteria of Wall street has its origin in the measure of justice already meted out to this group of capitalists, or in the fear that this measure is merely the be- ginning of the reckoning, it must be held to be wholly unreasonable. No better service could be rendered to conservative finance than in remov- ing the condition" under which a single group of interruptions mill lionaires was able to control at will so huge a proportion of the floating capital of the country. But the fact is that Wall street has been so little familiar with conservative f. nance of late years that a compul- sorry return to it's methods seems to spell disaster.-New York Journal.
