WHAT IS STEALING.

The Hartford Courant has some com ments on a curious feature of the crim- final laws of that State-and 1t may be the same in other States for anything we know. but the Connecticut legal status of larceny is the point now be- fore us. If man goes to a fruit stand in that State and walks off with a basket of peaches, we will say, with out asking or paying for them. he can be arrested and punished for larceny, as he could for stealing anything else. But" comments The Courant. wait a month or so until the peaches here abouts are ripe, and then go out to an sneak in there and fill a basket with the peaches and carry them off, and see then whether fruit is property. The owner may be stingy old curmudgeon enough to chase after you. and. if he catches you. he may have you up in court. But. bless his mean little soul. he will soon find out that courts are not run on any such narrow basis The judge smiles. says he was a boy once himself, and ''admonishes" the cuIprit That's the end of that kind of a theft"
 Tn plain words. as The Courant goes on to show. it is not an offence under the laws of Connecticut for one person to rob the fruit trees of another. Morally Is it just as much larceny to steal the fruit from a mans trees as 1t Is to steal it from his fruit stand, but legally it is not crime at all. The owner. as our contemporary says, may see his fruit being stolen but he has no redress unless he tried to take 1t out of the theft, and them he himself might be arrested and tried for assault.
 We call to mind case that came up before the circuit court of Randolph county something like half century ago In which this same principle was involved. A man was indicted for stealing and carrying of a sack of corn from the field of neighbor. There was no doubt or dispute as to the facts for the culprit was seen in the act. All the efforts of the Solicitor were de voted to trying to prove by the wit ness that the man at some time placed

 Washington Special.
 Senator Daniel, of Virginia, was in the city to-day. Since the Denver convention he has conversed with many persons on the political situa- ton. and he says that from what he can gather Mir. Bryan has a far bet ter chance of election than he ever had before
 Indeed. the Senator thinks that all signs point to his election. and many men of influence met by Senator Dan iel have admitted that Mir. Bryan is not only stronger but that there is a united party behind him and he is running on one of the best platforms ever constructed by a national con- vention.
 Several months ago Senator Daniel did not think it was advisable to nom- mate Mir Bryan again but he went to the convention under enthusiastic in- structions from the Democrats of his State for the Nebraskan, and out there he became enthused himself af- ter mingling with the delegates from the various sections. He says that within the past week he has met a number ofwell-known Democrats from New York and the New England States. and they are able to report that there is not only a powerful re-. volt against the Republican party, dus to various causes but the rank and file of the Democratic party in those sec- tions are buoyant and hopeful. and talk as if this is going to be a winning year for their party with Mir. Bryan as the candidate.

The Season Marked by Exceptional

Tne season Marked by Exceptional
 and Continuous Heat.
 New York Tribune.
 The story of the present sumner has evidently been told only in part. Nor mally the hot season eliminated during the last ten days of July, and that of 1908, may. therefore, be regarded as merely half over. The part which has already elapsed. however. is SO ex- ceptional as to be noteworthy quite regardless of any addition yet to be made to the record.
 At the United States weather bureau in this city-and the conditions here are doubtless representative of those prevailing throughout a wide area in the East-the heat Is shown to have been singularly continuous for several weeks. Ordinarily, extremely high or low temperatures in this vicinity sell dom last more than three of four con secutive days. and are promptly fol- lowed by reaction lasting for about the same length of time. This rule has been painfully disregarded of late
 Of the last thirty-three days only i've have been cooler than the average for thirty three years would lead one to expect three have been at par. so to speak. and twenty-five have been abnormally hot. The coolness. such as it was, came in three installments, each so short as to afford only slight relief Beginning with June 20. there was an unbroken succession O feighteen days, all hotter than the average for the cor responding days since the establish ment of the national weather service.
 Statistics concerning the wind are not yet available, but 1t does not seem possible that the popular opinion that the air has been peculiarly motionless for the lest few weeks can be err roneous Persons who have lived in New York city for a quarter of cen tury or more can remember how. night after night in summer, there would be a refreshing breeze from the south. It would penetrate houses with windows opening in the right direction from the front or rear and with full oppor- tunity given within for a draft to as- sert itself. That blessed experience has been almost utterly lacking this summer. and 1t has been most con- spiclously absent when 1t was most needed

his sack on the ground while he was In the field. As we remember the ar- gument. if the man kept the sack in his arms or on his shoulder untfl he filled it and got on with his piunder no crime had been committed, but if he placed 1t on the ground and after wards took it up and carried it of he was guilty of larceny. We do not now remember how the fine points of law and morals were set forth, by the court and lawyers. but we do remember that the man went free because the prosecu- tor could not prove any earth contact. as we might express 1t.
 This case was decided on the same principle referred to by The courant. and to the iayman 1t looks very much like case of hair-spatting. Stealing peach from mans fruit stand. or stealing it from the same mans tree looks to the ordinary individual like the same kind of offence. but the eyes of the law look at 1t differently. What is the fruit grower to do? If. he goes out with his gun and shoots the dep redator he may commit a real crime himself, and If he doesn't do something of the kind the bad boys and men may strip his fruit trees. Looks queer. does 1t not?

 But MT. Hitchcock,s heart heart talk with Republican leaders in the Middle West, in which he urged greater degree of cooperation between them. shows that he recognizes that the battle ground Is in the Middle West. in States that the Republicans have been in the habit of carrying.
 Indiana is an old Democratic State. or close State, with the odds In fa- vor of the Democrats. Indiana Is on the Democratic ticket, and the Repub- licans admit that Mir. Kern Is very popular man. The State of Hendricks and Mcdonald has plenty of Demo- cratic voters. and Bryan and Kern's chances there are good.
 We are not counting much on Ohio, but every day adds to the evidence that there is bitterness between the Foraker men and the Taft men. and If Foraker's followers should be lazy about going to the polls Taft's major ity will be as small as Harrisons was in 1892. when Cleveland got one of the electors. The New York Sun is not supporting Bryan; quite the contrary. But it's special correspondence shows that Wisconsin and Iowa are doubt ful States. In both a great many Re- publicans will voIe for Bryan. In Wisconsin La Toilette has thoroughly impregnated the State with opinions similar to those of the Democratic can- didate. Tn Iowa The Suns corres- pondent expects a Republican success but he has struck plenty of evidence that Bryan Is popular in the State and will get many Republican votes. The correspondent quotes one man as say" ing: "I'm a Republican and have voted against Bryan, but I'll vote for him this time. The Republican party isn't honest any more" The editor of a Des Moines newspaper said: Bryan will get a number of the young men who have come up since 1S96."

RAILROAD CHAR HARRIMAN.

May Soon Control All Great East anu
 West Lines.
 A New York special oaThe Chicago Record Herald says: Wall Street and the railroad and financial world Is wrought up to the highest pitch over the extreme possibility of the elimi- nation of George J. Gould from the galaxy of railroad magnates and the substitution of Edward H. Hartman in his stead. The matter became acute to-day when 1t was stated that Mir. Gould would return from Europe Tues day and seek the aid of Kuhn. Loeb 6 Company in refnancing and reor- ganizing his railway properties.
 There are strong intimations that the banking interests will insist that Hartman be given control. Negotia- tions have been carried on for several months between Gould, Kuhn, Loeb & Company and the Hartman interests concerning the Gould properties. As the negotiations now stand there is a fair probability that they will go through and the result will mean an entire change and reorganization of all the Gould lines in the East and the elimination of George J. Iiould as the autocrat of the Gould system.
 It is recognized in Wall street and even in circles closely associated with Mir. Gould that he cannot continue to stand alone. Before he sailed abroad Mir. Gould had many confer ences in the matter of the Gould sit- uation in the East with E. H. Harri- man and also with Kuhn, Loeb 6 Company, and while as yet nothing has been definitely done, the matter will be taken up again on Mir. Gould's return. and there Is fair probability that the Idea will be carried through The position of the Gould lines in the East as all know. Is precarious. The lines are in urgent need of relief, and most of them will get 1t through re- organization.
 There is good reason for stating that Mir. Gould Is anxious for the banking and financial support that would come from Kuhn. Loeb & Com pany and E. H. Hartman. The deal will make Hartman the greatest railway king In history. He will be in absolute control of the vast sys- tems from ocean to ocean and from the Great Lakes to the gulf. He will have power to dominate rates and oth- CT conditions. The only formidable competitor will be James J. Hill In the Northwest

he would make a great President. but on inquiry he finds that he Is simply a 'me too" statesman. that Is. that he Is an echo of MT. Roosevelt ana that he has no ideas respecting pub lie questions other than those of MT. Roosevelt--that. in fact. he is pledged to follow in Mr. Roosevelts footsteps In the event of his election. He doesn't believe In Me too" statesmen and hence he is going to vote for Mir. Bryan. who originates his own policies and has the ability to impress himsels upon the people.
 Mir. Taft has been thinking. and per- hans still thinks. that his announce ment that he would carry out MT. RoosAvelt's policies will help him m his campaign. but as the campaign progresses he will find that there are a great many people in every one or the States who might have voted TOT him if he were not an admitted.

Because Congressman Hobson, in his Denver speech, aserted that the Presi- dent had said to him, or in his pres ence. that we may expect war with Ja- pan in the near future-at least that is the substance of what MT. Hobson said -the President virtually called him a liar. Any one who will read Roose- velts speech at Newport must admit that if Mir. Hobson did not quote him correctly he gave a remarkably accu- rate forecast of what he was going 10 say.
