and his valuable services in this. city are
fully appreciated, but a difference of SIS
a month makes other places look good to
any man who works for a living, and it is
up to the council to act.

THE ECONOMIC CLuB.

on Thursday evening the New Haven
Economic club completes IT'S third year
of useful existence and will celebrate
the occasion with a dinner and much
excellent talk upon the subject OF the
proposed public utilities commission.
This club, which has now become an
institution here, deserves the support
Of the citizens of the town. Its dues
and dinner prices are within the reach
of everyone likely TO be interested in
the discussion OF public matters. Its
non-partisan character further COM
mends It to intelligent people. During
the three years 1t has been in existence
It has covered a wide field OF human
conjecture and argument, ana has In
consequence added materially to the
sum and total of local information and
enlightenment.
The subject of utilities commission
has by no manner Of means been ex.
hausted and as this is the topic for thu
dinner tomorrow evening large
crowd should be present 1t is especial.
~ interesting that Mr.. Maltby, a mem
Der of the New York commission, vii
be present and talk. That will be the
first practical talk New Haven has had
upon the subject

no For MILWAUKEE.

The invitation which is being sent
out to the brewers of the country by
those engaged In the business of brew
ing and who are resident at Milwaukee
might best be described perhaps as
might be referred to in still other
terms, which would present to those
receiving them measure of personal
liberty decidedly to the advantage of
the beer industry. Assuming that to be
one OF the great uplifting forces Of
modern American civilization, and a
source Of correction to wayward youth
and recalcitrant man, the Milwaukee
invitation must be accepted as a strlk-
ing illustration Of passing the ball
straight over the plate.
The convention of brewers from every
part Of the country Is to be held at
Milwaukee on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday Of the second week in
June, just previous to the republican
convention at Chicago. The invitation
to be present urges the members to
come on Saturday and spend Sunday
At first the impression is made that in
this way Sunday can be gracefully put
to It's customary uses Reading on fur
ther, however, It is perceived that the
object is an ultra spiritual one The
brewers are told that they can spend
their Sunday as they like: You can go
to church, you can enjoy picnic with
a bottle of beer and a rye bread sand
wch, or you can go to a park and take
an Ice cream soda, or you can go to a
restaurant and enjoy a good meal
with glass Of beer. There are no re-
strictons as long as you behave the
way gentleman should Don't miss
this opportunity to see how the people
live in the German village of America ="
If this invitation does not make the
meeting this year of the national
brewers association the best attended
and most brilliant in it's history Mil
waukee has struck losing gait The
promise that a visitor can do what he
pleases provided what he pleases does
not conflict with the code of ethics,
which everywhere governs the conduct
of gentlemen, takes dignhed precedent
over a promise to let the visitors do
as they please when the police are not
looking Here in New England, where
the habits of the population are pretty
steady, with here and there an inden-
tation made by a flying golf ball, and

whore the everlasting controversy over
Sunday observance forms one OF the
staple intellectual diversions of the
year, this invitation reads wildly, If
one of our local brewers should write
a similar letter Of Invitation to a for
eign brewer who intended visiting New
Haven he would be put under bonds to
keep the peace The views we hold
about Sunday are, however, more lib
eral than they were a hundred years
ago II Is possible, for example, for a
man to kiss his wife on that day and
where It was once wicked to take ones
best girl to drive on that day instead
Of prudent stroll It is now possible
to vary the recreation in divers ways,
We are moving rapidly forward, II 1t
Is forward to do as one pieases on
Sunday, but It will be a long time be-
fore we reach the altitude struck by
Milwaukee. It Is, however, In way
suggestive TO observe that the contln-
ued presence in New Haven on sun
day of members Of the state police for
the detection OF violations Of the liquor
laws puts large premium on the Mil
waukee plan Of civilization, Whatever
one may think of an open Sunday, such
as we conclude Milwaukee gives It's
people, It has as policy more to com
mend It than that IN force here, which
encourages deception. multiplies the
number Of low dives and imposes az
enormous expense upon the Industrious
and thrifty members of society. What
ever measure OF human weakness Is &c
be tolerated, II It be human weak
ness, should come under the eye and
arm Of the law, not exist In spite OF
the law. as is too often the case in the
cities Of New England.

Der OF appropriations that have been
unwlsely decided upon. The reason
why our canals and other internal
waterways have not been consistently
developed Is taken to be due to the
abnormal development OF our railroad
systems In the days Immediately fol-
lowing the Civil War, Deep water
communication from the gulf to the
lakes at Chicago Is what Is wanted.
1t is said that a fair estimate cf the
cost Of establishing deep-watAr COM

ton as a substitute for the sherman

done nothing to curtail the power Of

the railways from making friendly ar

and turning away the attention Of the
people from the true cure for trusts

too true that our present laws tax
