Messrs. Editors: The writer
fondly looks forward to the day
when the more prosperous and in
telligent people will all unite in an
earnest effort to exterminate, not
only ticks. but mosquitoes, gnats,
flies and other insect pests, which is
just as possible as 1t was to destroy
the buffaloes. Then won't It be
pleasant to take a fish hook and
loiter along to the Ash pond. catch
a few frisky trout. and not to be
riddled by mosquitoes: or to lie
down under some inviting shade In

Eighth precinct of the Seventeenth ward has established a unique record in this respect. Out Of a little over 1000 people in this precinct. 1O1 are babies under four years of age. Of these 39 are boys and 62 are girls. In another precinct, on the west side, there are 6S0 adults and 33S minors. Fourteen different races are repre- scented in this one precinct whose cos mopolitan population includes Ger mans, Poles Irish, Jews, French, Hun garians, Russians, Austrians, Norwe- gians. Swedes, Australians, Prussians English and Welsh. The home of race suicide was discovered in the heart of the fashionable district on the South side. Out of a population of 1150 in this district only 31 persons were found who were under 16 years of age. The troubles of the men who are talk ing the census would fill a large book. One enumerator who was assigned to the Chinese quarter, reported that all his efforts to get information from the slant eyed celestials met with utter failure until he ran across a leader of one of the Chinese secret societies. This man gave him a slip of brown paper on which were scrawled some unintelligible characters, and after that the census man had no difficulty in getting all the information he want ed. Meanwhile his curiosity was aroused and. when his work was com pleted, he got Chinaman to translate the inscription of the paper. This will introduce to you a census enumerator" was all it said, but it did the work all right

A CONGRESSIONAL CONCESSION.

A CONGRESSIONAL CONCESSION
 The currency legislation with which congress is about to crown its labors is nothing but a deprecatory reply to the charge that congress has been a do nothing" body. It assembled in the depth of the financial depression been talked of for weeks and it was supposed that the earliest finished work of congress would be some kind of financial legislation, which though providing for, among other things. an emergency currency, would not be an emergency law. Financiers and many who were not financiers, all over the country, knew or thought they knew, precisely what was the mater with our present rigid" and "obsolete" system. In that case the fixing ought to be short and easy.
 With apparent confidence the task was entered upon when the difficult ties of it began to unfold. However easy it might have been to reform the currency system it soon became plain ly impossible to adopt any reform which would meet the endorsement of business men and financiers. Experts disagreed bitterly among themselves. Congress was overwhelmed with pro- tests against every suggested plan.
 The two houses were seas apart and all hope of agreement was abandoned. It appeared that the currency legisla- tion would have to be confined to the creation of a commission to find out what the country really wanted and whether it was best for the country
 Widely divided as the financiers were regarding currency plans, they could agree on one thing and that was that congress was a do nothing" body. The result of unanimous opinion on that point will be the Vreeland- Aid rich bill which is said by some to em- brace the best features of the two measures and by others to embrace all the worst features.
 It is, says Senator Aldrich, half faith cure. If so it ought to be good for a loss of confidence from which perhaps, the country has suffered more than from any real pain. At any rate the country will have a chance to try it. If it works, all right.

Chicago society is stirred to its depths over the announcement of sev- 'eral of the smart set' leaders that
 they are going to introduce into the Windy City the new ''directoire" gown, the revival of which has been causing a sensation even in gay Paris where it made its debut before a startled world a few weeks ago. Advance notices of the new fashion have done nothing to allay the general alarm. The "direc- toire" gown is tight-clinging tight. What is more. it is slashed up the skirt on one side above the knee, dis closing-trousers. Not the plebian kind, of course, that mere man is ac- customed to wear. No indeed. The directoire kind are made of blue satin and like the gown they cling. but for all that they are unmistakably trous- CTS. This may account for the failure of several of these much heralded cos tunes to make their appearance on schedule time. DressmakerS aver that they have made a large number this spring, yet the fact remains that to date but one Chicago woman has had the fortitude to appear on the street in the new garb. Here is the descrip- tion of her gown: 'The costume, which is said to have been imported from Paris, is ot London smoke French cloth. It has a close fitting skirt, and is slashed on the right side, slightly above the knee, exposing blue satin trousers, which also are tight fitting The whole effect is extremely tight, form clinging The trimming is blue with 9 lace iabot and lace cuffs. The buttons throughout are trimmed blue agate and gold. with double loops. A set Of blue satin buttons runs down the side of the skirt, which is cut full directoire, heavily embroidered and walking style. Under these is seen a pair Of black patent leather French heel shoes of gaiter effect. All in sur mounted with Q full directOire hat of blue, with buckle of brilliants, and large bunch of ostrich Dlumes of a darker shade of blue. Blue gloves, short length, and Q blue cravat com plete the effect" In spite of its at fractions it is asserted, however. that the directoire will never be popular. The reason assigned is that the young CT women have not the courage, while the older women-well, the directoire is exacting. to say the least.

THE DISTURBING OF MIR. CANNON


 Isn't it about time for Uncle Sam to catch the speakers eye? Isn't 1t about time for the people of the country to disturb NIT. Cannon?" inquiries the Los Angeles Examiner. If the Examiner is really after information regarding the "open season" for MT Cannon, we should say it is about time any time for the people of the country to dis turb MT Cannon if they can It has been about time any time within the past twelve years and a good many people of the country have been stead fly trying to disturb MT. Cannon.
 MT. Gompers thought he had the ground work laid for a great disturb ance two years ago. He thought then it was about time. President Roose- welt, the greatest disturber of his age and generation, has been trying his hand on MT. Cannon for the last three months. He believed two months ago that he had an insurrection under way in the house that would surely disturb Mir Cannon or at least move him out of his habitual calm.
 But MT. Cannon declines to be dis turbed However. there is no law against the Examiner trying to sue ceed where others have uniformly failed. The people of the congression- al district where Danville, Ills, is sit uated could disturb the speaker if enough of them could get together on a program but enough of them stead fly decline to get together on any pro- gram which does not provide for the further upbuilding of Mir. Cannon. Outsiders have no chance at all of dis turbing MT. Cannon unless they use dynamite.
 But as we have said it is always an "open season. for the disturbing of MT aCnnon. Only, disturbers should not mistake in his case, the use of more than ordinarily fervent language or the burning of more long. black ci- gars as signs of a disturbance.

The most crowded street in Chicago and probably in the entire Middle West has been discovered, together with many other odd facts, as the result of a census which is being taken there for the board of education. The street is in the Fifth ward and is only three blocks long but boasts a population of 1267 people. Hardly a stones throw away is the most sparsely settled block in the city. When the census enumerator made his rounds he found only one resident in the entire block

The Republican siix.up.

It is also difficult for us to see how any sincere Lilley man can vote in this election for James S. Sherman or any of the Joe Cannon crowd, or how any loyal sherman man can conscien- tiously vote for George L. Lilley. Democrats need not decide whether Mir Lilley is as Mir sherman and a majority of the republicans in the lower house of congress say, "insin- cere. untruthful, malicious. despica- ble, reckless, the inspirer of anony- nous letters actuated by bad faith, a violator of his obligations as a mem- Der of the house. an urger of ground less charges against fellow members, and as unfit for membership in the congress of the United States" That is dirty linen our republican friends must wash. We can say, however. and with truth. that no republican can consistently vote for both Sher- man and Lilley this year-New Ha- ven Union.

Loeb Mad at Reporters.

There were exciting incidents at MT Roosevelt's party to the Oyster
 Bay folks, on Thursday. One of the
 presidents too officious secret ser vice agents almost spoiled everything
 by insisting that Oyster Bays most
 prominent business man was drunk, and throwing him of the porch of the presidents home This incident caused much excitement. and when it became plain the secret service man had made a mistake, the one who was thrown off the porch was lifted back again and shook hands with the president. Among those absent were the faithful scribes who, through the weary summer months, have informed the waiting public of the presidents acts. They were in- vited to attend. but the invitations were recalled this morning by Loeb. The newspaper men, 1t appears, in a moment of carelessness, quoted Loeb verbatim. He called the newspaper verbatim. ell called the newspaper Hughes was renominated and diplo- matically informed them that Presi- dent Roosevelt had turned the trick for Hughes a second time" Loeb expected the. newspapermen would expatiate on the inside tip" they re- ceived and that on the followins morning the newspaper readers would learn. with many circumstan- tial details, but without quotation marks, how Roosevelt forced Hughes's nomination. Instead. the wrote just what Loeb said, began and ended his phrase with quotation marks. and let 1t go at that. Therefore the air in Loeb's office has grown chilly for newspa- per men, and this morning they were informed that they. with th- other undesirable ones, were invit- ed to remain away from Sagamorc Hill.

If. this can be done 1t will be big saving to the people, but many claim. that the thing is out O. the question, although even these admit that more water than we have been getting can be had in the east ern section. It is worth looking into, and If we can spend million dollars to advantage in that district let it go there instead of continuing to turn the brush lots of Morris and Litch- field into beauty spots.

The Great Connecticut Machine.

The Lilley papers can talk as much as they please about the representa- tiye-at-large being the real choice of the republican party of Connecticut; the simple truth is that if the ma chine had opposed him and chosen Governor Woodruff or Lieutenant Governor Lake instead he would not have had ths shadow of chance in the state convention. There was just as much demand for him this year as there was for Abiram Cham berlain, o. Vincent Coffin, Henry Roberts and Lorin M. Cooke, in the years they ran for governor-and no more. He happened to have the SUD- port of the machine, and that ma- chine furthered his candidacy through it's efficient agents in the re- motest towns of the state, so that when the delegates assembled at New Haven he was nominated without trouble. Great is the Connecticut machine; but 1t looks as if the dis gusted republicans of the state would embrace the opportunity to admins ter quiet rebuke to those who run it.-Providence Journal.
