Expensive Foolirhness,


 The proposition to send the men em- ployed on the trolley lines controlled by the New Haven railroad company out on a strike at this particular juncture in Industrial affairs will stand as one of the most expensive bits of foolishness ever seriously suggested, No wonder that the proposed strike is falling of its own weight, At a time when the managers of street railways wherever located have been receiving number less applications for work from men employed in mills and elsewhere who have been reduced to half time or less, to talk strike Is senseless indeed The result of a strike would be to put many hundreds of men out Of a Job in short order and at time when other jobs are hard or impossible to get In view of such an outlook It does not seem possible that sensible men, how ever led, could proceed so foollshly, and no one need wonder that the talk about going out is waning to the van ishing point

MR. TRoUps LEADERSHIP.

The spontaneous tributes paid the memory of Alexander Troup's person ality explains the power which he ex- erted while a dominant force in tho | political and newspaper life of Con nectIcut. Men denied him the power he possessed and conspired to weaken it, but until the hour of his death he was a potent force and influence along the line he elected to follow
 So much for the past How about the future7 It is already realized by many that the death of Mir. Troup re- moved from active political life fac tor which made amazingly for results Absolute In his convictions, determined in his conclusions and Arm in his re. lations, he stood Ike 8 rock for pro. gress as he saw it It fig undeniably true that he was more frequently opposed to the views of the people of Connecticut than he was favorable to them. but that is of only passing significance. The impressive fact Is that with his en- thusiasm and his sincerity he carried men along with him, who could have been carried out of their natural course In no other way. His preiudices be- came the pre1udices of other men. his likes became the likes of other men and his affections became the anec.
 tons of other men. Even Mir Bryan
 himself little realized the truth of his
 remark to the editor of this newspaper
 but few weeks ago In speaking Of
 Mir Troup: "I really believe Troup
 would die for me-
 Obviously we are not speaking of Mir.

 spirit. On the contrary we admired him
 for the spirit In which he clung to
 his views and his friends We speak of
 them because his death cannot but af-
 feet the political party which he so
 surely influenced in its main conduct.
 There is no one to succeed him because
 there Is no democrat in the state who
 has as yet at least evolved the spirit
 he possessed and expressed. The men
 who agreed with him and followed him
 have, in other words. lost their leader
 and must on that account disintegrate
 and make new alignments, This Is the
 way of the world of politics as it is the way of the world of business Strong
 personalities are never duplicated in
 exactly the same way as the admins
 tration Of President Roosevelt has shown us az compared with that ol either President Cleveland or President Mckinley. MT. Bryan in the president , chair would not be MT. Roosevelt though he claims the authorship of 'my policies" nor would Judge Taft
 r It would be unfair to say that MT , Troup opposed the reconciliation of tn, { gold with the silver democrats It i' not unfair to say that while favorins the reconciliation of the two wings O a the party, MT Troup believed that thu gold wing should not expect to contro for time st least He was of course largely instrumental in making tha d policy the policy of those in control O h the party Being now withdrawn iron / the active councils of the democrats g party and leaving no logical successo n in them, 1t may be expected that tn , influences which have worked In th ] way suggested will cease to operate

It was an attractive phase Of this mans character that he could follow leader through the darkest years of diversity, merely from personal admir- alton and the force of conviction. Ma Troup was not selfish in his devotion to Mir Bryan; he did not primarily seek personal reward. Much as Cor political affairs, the people have for years felt for him very kindly son timent, and his passing must make a void in the politics and the journalism of the state. For, In addition to his political activities, MT Tronp was a successful newspaper publisher.

In spite of the vagaries that he ac- cepted and preached, MT. Troup was a public-sprited citizen and a man of genuine honesty whose word was as good as his bond--and his bond was thoroughly good, for he has made a genuine success of his paper, the New Haven Union.
