MIR. BRYAN DEMURs.

Mir Bryan has found 1t inconvenient or dangerous, as the case may be, to await the assembling of the Denver before letting that body say what 1t thinks of the Chicago platform. The point has been we'll taken that he appears to have devoted himself, in his public criticism, to what the republican platform omitted to say rather than to what it actually did say, which war rants tho conclusion that the repub- lican utterance is all right So far as 1t goes These are days of political as well as commercial hustle
 MT. Bryan labors under something of an embarrassment in thus early tack ling the republican platform, It Is pos itively necessary for him to do all thal the republicans are willing to do and a little bit more. Had the radicals in the republican party taken the situa- ton In hand and been yielded the com mand, they would probably have brought out platform which he would have found 1t difficult to criticise, As 1t was, those in control of the committee on resolutions and the convention itself went farther in anticipating the needs of the future than any republican con ventlon ever did. It might be said with truth that 1t sounds more like the work of a Tilden than the work of a Garfield. in that 1t turns upon cettain definite principles of democratic thought as they existed until 1s96 II Is not a conservative document in the sense that conservatism controlled a quarter of a century ago, nor is 1t rad i'al in the sense that constitutional lim- itations are ignored.
 Mir. Bryan does not realize that the day for the radical consideration oi problems which confront the country has passed. Appeals to human passions land human emotions, which are the at- tributes of campaign and not the at- tributes of mature delberation, have done all the work of which they are capable, with invested capital and un- employed labor demanding a chance tc | live. Nor does he realize that the can didacy of MT. Taft draws its greates, support from the knowledge men have of his sympathy for the enforcement oi the law, his hatred of methods which
 bear progressively upon the masses Of
 the people and his reliance upon order. l ly means of affording relief. In othei
 words, Mir. Bryan In his criticism of thu

NEW ENGLAND RESOURCES.

The Springfield board of trade Is responsible for a very sensible sug- gestion which has been made to Gov ernor Guild of Massachusetts. IL Is that general conference be held In New England which shall consider ways and means to preserve the sec- tlonal resources in much the same manner that, the recent conference of governors in Washington met to con- sder the national resources.
 It was a happy thought, whether original with the president or not, which led to the calling together of the governors and many of the innu- ential men of the country to consider such matters of weighty importance. There have been those who have doubted whether any practical results may be expected from body such as that was. without any legislative powers. The meeting of the executive committees of the national resources commission, which Is an outsrowth of the recent governors conference, Sat urday in conjunction with the Inland Waterways commission, seems to point to results that are really prac- tical and tangible. however
 Many good Idea has been abused by over use. But such, 1t seems, would not be the case with a New England conference called 10 consld- CT sectional resources Such a conference could be appropriately called by Governor Guild With all due respect to our other local gover- nors, Governor Guild, as the head of the largest New England state, a prominent figure In politics and a prominent personality, is In a posi- ton to take the initiative and 1t Is hoped that ne will do so. Perhaps, If others of our sectional boards Of trade and business mems associations would take similar actions, Governor Guild could be brought to the firing line without difficulty. If there Is any section of the country that has public spirited men, 1t Is New England, and In spite of our we'll known conservat- ism, some beneficial results may sure ly be expec cted. One does not have to consider long just what men of ac- ton and experience should be invited to the conference.
 There are number of problems particularly interesting locally that should be brought up, aside from the conservatism of resources. New Eng land to-day. and to a large extent Connecticut is suffering from lack of proper and consistent development The abandoned farms. the waste lHnus, tHe unHidineu sNdiilps anu uh' irrigated stretches of sand, all offer their suggestions of commercial values. New England may well con. slider how to get the best out of wha' it has as how to save what it is now making use of Besides this, there are transportation health and hun dred other problems that would come under the legitimate scope of such { commission which could he to New England what the New England Bus mess Mems association is to this cit! and the State Business Mems associa ton Is to Connecticut

WOMEN REPLACE MEN
IN TELEGRAPH
STATIONS
Roads Prepare to Close Small
Ter Offices and Operate With
Automatic Devices.
USE TELEPHONES
AND BLOCK SIGNALS

Washington, March Am unex-
pected development in the operation
of the nine hour law for railroad en-
plOyes is likely to follow the enforce
ment today Of that measure. Accord
ing to advices received in Washing
ton, many railroads are preparing to
operate their trains by means of block
signals and telephones. If this pro-
ject is put into effect, thousands Of
male telegraph operators will be
thrown out of employment and their
places will be taken by women at
much lower salaries, since the intro
duction Of the telephone will render
a knowledge of the Morse code un-
necessary.
Telegraphers declare that the
transmission of train orders by tele-
phone will be so unsatisfactory and
viii result in so many disasters that
public sentiment viii demand a re-
turn to the old system.
1t was expected that the reduction
in the working hours of railway te-
leEraphers TO nine hours would COM
pei the railroads To employ at least
5000 additional men at once, II was
also known that II would be lmpOs-
sible TO secure this number OF men
when needed and it was therefore
hoped by the men that AN increase in
wages would be a part Of the reyolu-
tion planned.
The railroads decided that they
would rather spend millions in pro-
viding and maintaining automatic
block signals which never go TO sleep
and which never fall unless they
spell danger" than TO spend the
same money in maintaining telegraph
stations and telegraph operators. The
closing Of stations as telegraph sta
tions is made possible by the fact
that with an automatic electric sig
nal all that is necessary is 10 start
trains as fast as the terminal block is
empty and keep them going until a
semaphore says "stOp."
Accordingly, many Of the big sys-
TENS, notably the Hartman roads,
have been Fastening the installing of
such signals, and the present time
finds them ready to lock the telegraph
keys in hundreds Of stations.

AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT
IN UNITED STATES
TREASURY
Most Wonderful Pile of Gold in
History of the World Con-
trOlled by This Country.
TOTALS ONE BILLION AND
ONE MILLION DOLLARS

Washington, March (SpcciaD
The treasury department gives out
the very important information that
there is now in the treasury over
billion dollars in gold coin and bull
ZION. This is the first time in the his
tory of the treasury and of the coun-
try, and of the whole world when
such wonderful pile of gold has
been under the command and con-
trol of any one person, or of any
one treasury, or of any one country.
To be a little more accurate there is
in the treasury today one billion and
one million, or in the figures, $1,OO1,-
900, 900 in gold and gold bullion; and
t.e gold bullion is waiting to be
coined at the various United States
mints.
In addition to the gold there is
now in the treasury in silver dollars,
silver bullion, subsidiary silver coin,
minor coin, etc. total of five hum
dred and four million dollars; or a
grand total of one billion five hum
dred and five million dollars of gold
and silver; or given in figures as ST.
sos, 900, 900, This also Is the largest
amount of gold and silver that was
ever under the control of any one
person, or one treasury or one coun-
try.
For the benefit Of those that are
having nightmare for fear that the
large amount of silver bullion in the
vaults Of the treasury might at some
early day be the ruin Of the country,
1t Is announced that there is i'm silver
bullion in the general fund five mil
lion fifty-two thousand six hundred
and ninety-six dollars and eighty
five cents, or i'm figures S5,052 ,696.S5.
So it would be about five cents per
capita more to take care Of than they
now have in circulation. The treas
ury department has no fear that IT
would cause a calamity to the coun-
try If it could distribute fifty cents or
even one dollar more in silver for
each of the fifteen million or more
voters. There is an available cash
balance in the treasury of $267769,-

ers were so badly injured that they
will probably die.
A Terrible Scene
The greatest number, however, died
in the flames when the floors of the
building collapsed, precipitating them
to the basement. Dozens of little
bodies could be seen, writhing in their
last struggles. Many bodies are so
badly burned that they cannot be
identified.
Many children rescued are so badly
hurt that it Is thought a number of
them will die. Scores have been taken
to the city hospitals and others are
being cared for in their homes.
Pulled Off Her Arms
The scene when parents surrounded
the ruins of the building and fought
each other in an effort to find their
sons and daughters, was pathetic. one
man, named Horn, discovered his lit
tie girl lying in a mass of the in
jured and crushed. He caught her
by the hands and in an effort to save
her pulled her arms from their sock
cts.
Three little girls met death by
jumping from a window in the third
story.
Reports Conflict
The exact number of dead cannot
be known until the ruins are cleared
away and all the bodies taken out
The first report gave 200 and up TO
the present time lac bodies have Oeen
recovered. Principal Frank p. Whit
ney estimates the number at $50. The
pupils were mostly very young, rang
ing in age from to - years, Seven
of the nine teachers in the building
have been accounted for.
In addition to those who persisted
in the flames it is probable many
more will die from their injuries.
