THE WEEKLY JOURNAL. Issued Thursday, One DoIinr n Year
1N AUTO FxCUEs1oM'

To-day will occur the first of the auto excursions which friends of The Journal and Courier have made it pos ylhle for it to arrange. Over thirty owners of cars have placed them at bur disposal and we have arranged with the management of the New Ha- ven Orphan Asylum to give the chill hren a trip to Meriden, where by the courtesy of Mayor Reilly and the board of park commissioners they will be talk m to the summit of Hubbard Park.
 The interest which has been mani tested in this fresh air excursion of the orphans is widespread. It appeals to a different set of emotions than those en- livened by the more conventional excur- sion and possesses the merit of involv- sng no side commercial considerations. Friends of the orphans supply the autos and other friends with The Journal and Courier supply the entertainment, each extracting an equal amount of pleasure from the joint enterprise.
 It Is such undertakings as this that make the Summer less burdensome with It's heat and noise. It goes with out saying that when the youngsters return tomorrow evening from their trip to the Silver City, fresh from a new experience. life with it's necessary restrictions for them will be sweeter and more hopeful than they dreamed it could be. We sincerely hope that their pleasure to-day will prove to be their compensation for misfortunes which other children have escaped.

SUPPLEMENTARY GOVERNMENT.

Now that the proposed introduction of the referendum into the political life of the State of Connecticut has been abandoned and the responsibility for legislation has been again placed where it belongs, on the shoulders of the General Assembly, we read with pleas ure in the columns of the Hartford Times that government by commission, while 1t has at times produced good results, is lat other times merely de- vice for the Legislature to dodge set Element of a ticklish problem" When this mistaken idea of supplementary government Is realized and understood by the people of community they will find way to make their citizen ship felt. Until it's degenerating pro- cesses are understood we shall continue to have our political business attended to by those who find it profitable.
 The Times is right. government by commission is to that extent relega- kion of representative government A government supplemented by such or ganizations as the Farmers Alliance is a denial of democratic government. It Is the substitution for orderly process es of the processes. of disorder. It is only another way of taking the people away from the care of their affairs. Out in the city of Chicago where po- Iitical conditions reached a low ebb and where the old government broke down, a new hope is said to have overtaken the population by the activity of two organizations of independent origin. One is known as the Municipal Voters I4eague and confines itself to the elec- rtion of aldermen. The other is called the Legislative Voters League and has for its concern the election of members of the General Assembly. The Chicago !, Herald is much encouraged by the lat terand hopes to see its sphere of use- fulness extended. It says: There must 'vbe very many counties, however, in which the mass of the voters are in much the same position that Chicago voters are. Knowledge that the voters could rely on would be heartily wei comed by them and would influence xheir attitude on election day. As it is she local voter is influenced. apart from personal considerations, mainly by the success of his representative il getting special legislation to meet loca wishes If it could be shown to tht voters how directly the representative injured or advanced interests Whicl are even more important than these special local interests by his attitudc toward general State legislation the ef feet would doubtless be promptly felt"
 It Is seen that the philosophy O these supplementary governments is

POOR PI1GRtM FATHERS.

Let us pause for a minute and sym pathize with the Pilgrim Fathers. We mean the Pilgrim Fathers who landed on George street in New Haven and the others who landed at various points around here soon after. Why do they need sympathy, do you ask? Are they not safely dead and waiting for a blessed resurrection? To be sure, bu, isn't 1t pity that they can't see the New Haven Green illuminated? They found and founded the Green, and they meant it to be a thing of beauty and a joy forever. But of course in their most discursive imagining they never imagined anything like the scene of beauty the Green presents when il- luminated as it has been this Summer. We heartily wish they could see it, and though we know that according to the belief in which they died they can't now, we may be allowed to hope that the time will come when they can The Heaven toward which they were bound when they died may be even more splendid than the Illuminated New Haven Green, hut we feel sure that they would greatly appreciate look at that.

BREAD AND THREAD.

The decrease in the size of the loaf of bread and the increase in the price of the spool of thread are changes which are being felt in the bosons and below the bcsoms of the. people. There isn't 8 giantie Bread trust, though there may oe many small ones, but there Is big Thread trust, which is going to be Inquired into by the United States. Perhaps by the time the inquiry is done and the members of the Thread trust are in jail thread will be cheaper. Meanwhile the indi- cations are that 1t is going to be con- siderably higher. We shall be told that raw cotton and everything else used in making thread is higher and therefore thread, to be entirely consist ent, must join the procession. We shall not be told that under the Dingley tar off of 1884, now in force, the duty was advanced from five and a half to six cents a dozen on cotton thread con taining not more than one hundred yards to a spool An additional six cents per dozen spools is levied on ev- cry one hundred yards thereof in ex- cess of one hundred yards.
 Of course the thread-makers of this country want all the protection they can get and also the biggest price they can get for their thread. But the for gotten man and the equally forgotten woman want cheaper thread.

 At the recent election in Austria four Zionists were returned to Parliament.

Stockers and Feeders.

The week as whole has been
disappointing one, so far as stockers
were concerned. Packers did not clean
up this class of cattle, and local specu-
.lators accumulated pretty good show
ing before the week was over. 1t is
evident that the country still thinks
there is nothing worth coming after,
for buyers We're extremely scarce gain
this week. and nearly all who did come
wanted good to choice feeders with
weight and quality. Naturally these
cattle were hard to get, for they were
worth more ito packers than to outside
buyers. However, the fact that the
common TO medium killing cattle de-
clined 25@35c this week put more
steers of the good feeder class within
res CHI Of farmers, and SO the volume of
business was little larger than last
week. or the week before, tho still

take kindly to common and medium
