The existence of our present steam

threatened by tho foreign subsidized

Our communication with Australia, should
depend not upon foreign, but upon our

Northwest should alike be served by
these lines, and IL this Is done they will
also give to the Mississippi Valley,
throughout the entire length the adj

running to the Pacific coast. To fail
to establish adequate lines on the Pa
cific Is equivalent to proclaiming to the
world that we have neither the ability
nor the disposition to contend for our

The signing of treaty of peace be- tween Nicaragua and Salvador marks the end of the present Central Amerl- can war, and the treaty provides for a general peace conference of the Central American republics in tine near future tliat it is thought will in- sure the continuance of peace i'll that region for years to come. The presi- dent has received a congratulatory telegram from President eZelaya of Nicaragua thanking him for the part he had personally taken in bringing about the cessation of hostilities. The peace pact containing the provision for q general peace conference is the same in effect as that signed on the Marblehead about a year ago, but which was never put into effect ow- ing to the strained relations between the Central American countries at the time. Now that the pressure has been relieved by a fight, the air is clearer and it is thought that the conference will be held with some chance of sue cess. ..

Secretary Taft has gone to Ohio to personally take up the fight agail st the machine wing of the republican organization. He is up agnii-t a hard formation, and the situation has been complicated by the fact that the president has aroused the animosity of the labor union element by his re- marks during the Hartman controv- ersy in Jumping Hartman and Flu gene Debs and Mover and Haywood, the accused murderers of Governor Stunnenberg of Idaho in the same category as undesirable citlzens." The labor element holds that as Mover and Haywood are about to be brought to trial for murder, the presidents remarks will have the effect of preju- dicing justice against the accused. Therefore, labor unions in various quarters have entered strenuous pro- tests and are preparing to inject themselves into the fight in Ohio and to take an active part in the general campaign as anti-Rooseyelt bodies, more with desire to gratify a per sonal desire for vengeance than for the principle involved.

The heavyweight immigration con- mission authorized by the last con gress has just got to work. Why congress should want more light on the subject of immigration just now
 is little hard to see, says a Wash ington writer. This government has been paying special agents, special commissioners and special junketinS committees to investigate the immi- grafton problem for the past ten years. The latest special commissioner" sent abroad was T. V. Powderly, a very estimabIe gentleman who spent year in Europe at the government expense and wrote the longest if not the most enlightening report on i'm migration that has ever been submit ted to a long suffering government. But now this thirst for knowledge is to be further assuaged by a commits sion of three senators, three repre- sentatives and three appointees of the president. all of whom have gathered in Washington preparatory to taking summer tours at government expense to the coolest and remotest quarters of the earth. This is a rich country and we can well afford the luxury of special commissions if we want to pay them. But the immigration ex- cuse is worn almost threadbare. The fact of the matter is that congress does not need and does not want any further enlightenment on the immi- grafton business. It does not want to pass any immigration legislation of any sort if 1t can help it. Frankness and economy both would suggest sim ply standing pat and doing nothing, but what congress wants is an excuse for delay. and it will gpt it while wait ing for the report of this latest and most unnecessary commission.

 The question of pensions when it is taken outside the usual limits of the soldier and the sailor, becomes a large one and involves many new considerations. But there is one de- partment of the government service that certainly merits the bestowal of pensions, under reasonable conditions, and that is the national life saving service. Nor should we object should the lighthouse keepers be included in the list, if it is to be enlarged. We certainly believe that in both cases the service is such as to merit the pension which the soldier receives. after like length of service. Good service is very valuable in both the named and good service can be best secured and retained by a recognition of its value, such as is given in other branches of govern ment employ Bridgeport Standard.

VOGUE OF THE BLACK HAT.
It May Be Worn With Costumes of All Kinds and colors. ..-

No memory of recent fashionable weddings fingers in the mind with greater persistence than the preva- fence of the big black hat worn with costumes of all colors. In some in- stances 1t is of velvet. in others it is of lace. again it is of the two com bined, but always it is luxuriantly trimmed with feathers and plumes and always it is big and picturesque in style; worn by the woman to whom such ssapes are becoming, it unques- tionahlg makes smart and striking effect an& even gives note of charac- ter to a yale tinted costume, without which it would fail of making any real effect.
 Yet there is danger of such fash ion being overdone and there are some colors with which matching hats are infinitely to be preferred, while again there are great many women who attempt to wear these big, dash ing models to whom they are not suit ed and who fail to achieve any good result. To be effective black hats must be large and they must have curling plumes and feathers to fully carry out the regal appearance. When ever such a style overweights the wearer it should be st-enously avoid ed, and in such instances it would be well for black to be foresworn for dressy occasions, using matching color or white, as small black hats seldom mean anything like distinc- tion except for utility wear. The heavy black lace, which is really the imitation Irish dyed, is handsome in combination with velvet, and there are some of the most beautiful pos sible plumes and feathers seen this season. In many instances the fiues appear to be of phenomenal length, but close examination shows the feathers are not grown upon ostriches of marvellous size. but the fiues or tendrils of one are knotted to those of another. giving exceptional breadth to the feather. One or more of these curling round the hat and falling over on to the hair makes trimming that nothing else quite equals and the black hats so treated are among the most notable that the season has brought forth
