A Plrn for n Bnnquet.

Nearly every voter in town received a copy of the esteemed Journal-Couricr Saturday night, the reason why being a long attack upon Congressman Lilley, ostensibly written for high minded req sons by New London man. Colonel Nod osborn editor of the Journal Courier, Is too well known as life- long and enthusiastic democrat to make his attempt 10 run republican affairs at this late date seem of much account to republicans of this town, who also have pretty good acquaintance and opinion of MT, Lilley For years the colonel has been Connecticuts prize banqueter, but as his particular wing of the dem ocracy has gradually petered out, it is evident that the occasions calling for his appetite and eloquence also become less numerous. The colonel realizes that this will never do. and so the war scared veteran of many "eats" gets into action It Is rumored that grati- tude will compel the man who beats Lilley Gf he can be found) to again shoulder straps, and restore the flow of post -prandlal wit now in sad danger of drying up for want of proper stlmu- lant. The outrageous treatment given Mir Lilley by the congressional com
 mittee was recognized by nearly every newspaper In the country, and If the ! Journal Courier and It's democratic
 editor can convince the republicans oi
 this state differently we shall be much | surprised. Won't somebody please get
 up a good dinner and invite the colonel
 to come and eat.

EVIL LEGISLATION.

We leave it to each man to decide for himself whether 1t is wise or fool- ish to follow the leadership of Lawson of Boston in a new tangled attempt to further harness and drive Wall street with it's gambling paraphernalia. If anyone Is fool enough to support him. the rest of the world can afford to let him learn his lesson of the fool and his money parting company.
 The real evil of the new Lawson sen- sation should not be overlooked. He would not be able to work the fiim-fl game he is working had he not come into the possession of special charter granted by the Massachusetts legisla- ture to the Bay State Gas company. He himself calls 1t the most remarkable charter in the world and his charac- terization of 1t is not bit exaggerated. It empowers it's possessor to carry on any known or conceivable business en- terprise from running bank to flying a balloon, It is under this charter that Lawson hopes to have the money of "the system" transferred to him for speculative purposes
 The Connecticut general assembly has issued some dandy charters and in- dividuals have made pot of money

CEAD MILE FAILTE.

Cead Mile Failte; A Hundred Thous- and Welcomes, Hibernlan knights New Haven has determined to do its utmost to tender you royal reception and make your short stay here pleas- ant and memorable one. As New Ha- ven Is. far from being inexperienced as a convention city, 1t may reasonably feel assured in advance that you will not be sorry you decided to come here.
 If the visit of the Ancient Order of Hiberniane promises to be a happy one for the members of that order, 1t should prove scarcely less so to New Haven CTS, for whom there are many oratorl- cal, athletic and spectacular treats in store. There are no better orators, no better athletes and no better marchers than the loyal and honest sons of Old Erin. There will be banquets and con vention meetings for the first; big track meet, in which many of the Olympic competitors will appear, for the second; and splendid street par ade, with many floats and costumes and bands, for the third.
 Not only will our visitors find that those who have come from the Old Sod and their descendants have no small share in the activities of New Haven, but also that the Ancient Order of H. bernians is strong factor locally. En- rolled in the order are many of the citys most prominent men and there is no organization of Its kind in the city that is more worthy. It Is, therefore. significant that the city should be ar- rayed in its best "bib and tucker" this morning, that our places of business should be half-hidden behind folds of the green of old Erin and the tri-col- ored bunting of the Stars and Stripes, and that Miss Erin, in spotless white, should be standing on our central Green. awaiting the coming of our wis.,
 itors with outstretched arms Of well come.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
A Little StrnM2

New Haven. Conn, Aug r. 1908. Editor of he Journal-Courer:
 On trolley car running between Waterbury and Naugatuck last week, a friend reports that he noticed one of George l.. Lilley's henchmen with bag of Lilley buttons distributing the same to such passengers as would wear them Not more than two or three out of the carload received them, most of them being rejected.
 As an interesting side light, he fur ther noticed that both the motorman and the conductor wore the buttons, and that the latter was making him self conspicuous by helping in their distribution to such of his friends as were on the car.
 Query: Is this a little straw indicat- Ing the sympathy of the Consolidated railway with MT. Lilley's political ann bitions?
 For a parallel to Mir. Lilley and his campaign methods read Churchill's story. MT. Crewe''s Career" You will find in this bombastc political hero many amusing points of resemblance.

out Of them. That under which the marine department of the New Haven Railroad company Is operated was orig inally given to establish a banking en- terprise, But the worst Connecticut charter is baby in the art of fooling the public compared with this Bay State gas charter. It ought alone to put an end to special legislation and to inaugurate an era of general legis- laton under which all corporations are compelled to do business, Nor Is 1t strange that Lawson was required to enllghten the country upon the subject of the evil of special legislation, He Is just the lad for the job.

HEn MAJESTY AUGUST.

Comes the month of asters gay, Ripenlng gram adown the Way, August, with her sunbeams rare, Watts upon the threshold there, Strewing flowers with lavish hand, Bearing fruits throughout the land, August tripping OCT the sod, Bursts the stately golden rod Into bloom, with maglc wand, Pants the lily in the pond, Stlll 1 have no love for her, Into hate my passions stir, Queen-like, she, but a deceiver, August, month of dread hay fever. August, month of moonbeams bright. Turning into day the night; Some with welcome warm await On tiptoe beside the gate For her coming, and they'll thrill As she dances down the hill Spreading perfume on your way, Fragrant scent of new mown hay. Sun Drowned lassies weave their hair New with natures earlands rare; Little children in the sands On the beaches clap their hands; But I've grown an unbeliever, August, month of dread hay fever. Some there are who wait to meet her, Some there are who want to greet her Month when birds and bees are hum
 ming,
 Some may glory in her coming, Some, however, live in dread August, month of stuffy head; Month of rcddened eyes and noses Month when sleep no eyelid closes, Month when, propped up In chair Some must pant and gasp for air
 August, month of gentle breezes, Month of wheezes, month of sneezes, Ail your beautvs a deceiver, You're the month of dread hay fever

 Common justice, the ordinary regars for human life the distinction between a suspicion and guilt, all combine to demand that citizens shall be defended against lawlessness, no matter what may be the purpose for which lawless- ness mustors. Both races should pause and think, for both races have com mon interest in justice The crime of which a negro was accused in Spring field was horrible, but a court of Jus tlce was not merely his right, but tho right of the community. The guilt of ths individual was plain, but there Is always liability to error when people are frenzied with horror to which we have no doubt many innocent negroes have been sacrificed in the south Thls very liability Is compelling argument for the law being allowed to take It's course with all its opportunities for the accused, If innocent, to prove mistakes in Identification so liable to occur when many, all Of one race are under sus- piclon

That Hawaiian track and field ath-

here, is plan of DR.. Hand, of the
Y. NJ. c. A., which he is following up
actively Through these columns, he
suggests meeting of men represent
ing Kamehameha School, Punahou
College, the High School, and the
Y. NJ. c. A., to arrange such field
meets, settle dates and details, and
get word Of the coming events to the
Fleet, so that the sailor-lads may get
into shape to compete with the To-
Gals. with this in view. the organi-
cation, If 1t is to be done, must be
done in the near future.
Honolulu has much first-rate tai
ent IN this line, and it is felt, as a
consequence, that the locals should
make use of their abilities in this
line, rs well as In ether sports.
Where It is expected that local
men will shine particularly is on the
track. In doping out such pros
pcctive field day, honors of n high
sort in the weights will probably go
to some of the big men in the Navy.
Where concessions will not be made
by Honolulu men. in all probability,
is on the Cindcrs, for any distance
from the mile run to the 50-yard
DASH the last event, in particular,
being the long suit Of sprint-runners
on the teams here. Performances of
such men as En- Sue or Rice or Me-
Henzic indicate that this city can put
forward runners OF class not TO be
eXoellcd anywhere.
Though the project is tentative,
the running and jumping is being
practlced now, in anticipation of an
event or two yet in the season, and
the contestants should be in fine fet.

Dr.. Hand is very enthusiastic over
the matter.
