The public will be relieved, though there was lit' tic disposition in any quarter 10 take the charges seriously, IL appears that the earlier stages of the proceedings before the inspector general were marked by bitterness on the part or the accusere, and specifications of grating and favoritlsm in the award of contracts were recklessly pressed, When the Inquiry became steaded, however, the scandal began 10 dissolve and nothing to warrant the accusd | tlons was disclosed in evidence As suming that the compainants acted in good faith 1t appears that the trouble | was of q kind not unfamiliar in con | structlon enterprises of magnitude, where contractors insist on being per- mltted to make bids for work of q character which supervising authority holds them to be not qualified to un- l dertqltp.

THE SHOT AT SHERMAN.

The country has become so accus- toned to reading sensational exposures in the columns of the New York World similar to its present one as to MT, sherman, the republican vice -presiden- tial candidate, that 1t has given little more than passing notice in the news papers of the country.
 It was not long ago that the World published q most amazing story to the effect that the officers in the federal army were subscribing to a fund of a million dollars which was to be ap- piled to the defense in court of their fellow officer Captain Hains, who stands to-day charged with murder. Even had these officers such an absurd inclination, 1t is highly improbable that they are. as a class, so literally re- munerated that they could afford to do so. Another "dream' of this charac- ter, which the World recently ex- plotted, was that President Roosevelt was not in favor of Governor Hughes

A NEW HAVEN TAG DAY.

Upon more than one occasion this pa- per has given expression to the hope that a tag day be instituted here for the benefit of the highly creditahle work for the relief of the tuberculosis sufferers of the city This work was recently begun under suspicious clr- and with capable leaders
 Our hone has been greatly strength ened as the handsome results of three tag days, held simultaneously in neigh boring cities Saturday have been learned In New Britain about $9,OoO was netted for the benefit of the Wom- ans Hospital board; in Bridgeport an equally handsome sum was raised for the benefit of St Nncents hospital there; and in Providence not less than SIG, 4Oo was taken in for the Providence District Nursing association. In the latter case l22,O0O tags were given out hy the energetic workers, Eho were everywhere, and the donations ranged all the way from $i0O bill and "I. 0. U.'s' to pennies The number of pieces of money contributed numbered l56, 9i6 All this happened at perhaps the worst possible time for such an event-on the very eve of a presidential election, when money ia generally tight" and when the bcsgers for the various campaign funds are abroad without number
 Certainly no better object could be had for tag day in New Haven than tuberculosis work and no better time this year than shortly after election, when the spirit of Christmas and of giving is in the air The idea of such a tag day was suggested in New Haven not many weeks ago, but 1t seems to have fallen through for one reason or Ianother It should be revived and be put through with characteristic New England energy and cooperation. The latter especially will be necessary for
 the best of results and it may be be- licved it is possible,

To the Credit of Hartford.
(ilarper's Weekly)

 Hartford bridge is one of the best Illustrations that we have of the new American spirit that is building public work in monumental fashion, to live and last the centuries. IL is solid sober structure of granite with nine span arches and l,2OO feet in length. It car res an so foot highway, which Is the great artery of Connecticut connect ing the two busy portions of the state divided by the river which gives 1t its name.
 There has been q Hartford bridge since 1908. and it has always been tt busy bridge. lt has had to be stout one. for ln the spring the usually mild Connecticut IS a vicious stream, bring ing down thousands of tons of broken lee and crashing as if in rage against Hartford bridge. Captain Isaac Damon of Northampton, Mass, who was the boss bridge builder of New Englan1, built the original bridge, and he built it of hewn pine of a sort that is price, less to-day, paSged together In wonder full fashion. The river could never de- stroy the bridge. Fire did. But fire can never destroy the new Hartford bridge.
 In connection with the building of the bridge Hartford has taken the op- poiIuHltN 70 cleaH up Het Idtner SIpNeH- ly river front and public enterprise co operating with private she has ere ated a park and boulevard approach 10 her great enterprise. The water fronts of our American towns arc dis graceful in almost every instance Hartford, which blnzed a path, half century ago toward city parks, is blaz- ing a new path to-day in the creation of q water front that shall typify and not disgrace the dignity and beauty oi the city.
