The Waterbury Democrat quotes from the Times a paragraph object. ing to machine control in politics and then remarks as follows:
 The above is in reference to
 politics in New York state, but
 how about the machine in Con
 necticut? The Times is not ly-
 ing awake nights over the work
 of the republican machine in
 carrying out a deal made a year
 or two ago, machine that one
 republican. at least, has said is
 trying to drive the voters like
 sheep to the shambles."
 Evidently our contemporary does not read the Times as we could wish. There is probably no topic important In Connecticut which this paper has more al heart than making the popu- lar voice effective in legislation. Il has stood for that for many years. It has never justified the dominance of the republicans of this state by 2 selfish Oligarchy. But it does nor intend to blink facts and when the machine has agreed on a certain course and seems likely 10 carry if ont it admits that that result is to be expected. Meantime f is doing all in it's power to strengthen and en- large the conviction that the root of the evil Is in the unjust system of representation. That system offers the opportunity. Change it. and the opportunity will be enormously re- duced.-Hartford Times.
 Vest. but when there seemed to be fairly good chance of defeating the machine for once why not iump into the arena and assail the facts that you do not care to blink al: The newspapers are to blame in a way. at least some of them. for the boss rule. Nearly every paper in the state is helping the republican machine to make a nomination for governor this fall. and ret they claim to be oY- posed to hossism and machine rule.

Chairman Hitchcock of the re- publican national committee does not take rosy view of the outlook In this part of the country. After trip through New England he said; Neither should republicans in the New England states expec, the Mckinley pluralities of 1896 when Mckinley first confronted Bryan. Mckinley in that campaign triumphed prodigiously because of the business panic in a democratic national administration. Then, too there are marked factional differ ences in Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The nomination of Lilley for governor of the Nutmeg state cannot, in the Judgment of many important repub- licans, greatly aid Taft" What of the republican panic and the empty dinner pail and the many vacant tenements and the many hungry ten- ants. Leaving Lilley out of the question, if this doesn't defeat Taft in a few republican states. then the voters do not know what they want. and the empty dinner pail will never be full for them.

Make yourself sheep and the wolves will eat you.-Italian Proverb.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-08-28

The republican newspapers are pooh poohing the statements and &C., cusations made against their party by William J. Bryan, but they are not refuting them. It won't do to attempt to dispose of them by ridi- cule. If Bryan or Taft makes a mis- statement then it ought to be re- futed by the other side and an ex- planation made why and where it is wrong. A good many people are doing their own thinking on politi- cal questions these days and it is not safe for any party to assume that it can claim supporters whether it is right or wrong.-New Britain Her aid.
 Yes. and republican and some democratic papers are pooh poohing what is being said about Congress- man Lilley, and they are going to take a long chance and nominate him for governor, judging from the present outlook, and by so doing CT. danger the chances of Taft and make the election of a democratic gov ernor of Connecticut a possibility.

The negotiations for the disposal
 of the sum remaining from the funds raised by Massachusetts for the re-
 lief of the sufferers from the Californ- ia earthquake and its resultant fires
 will probably conclude in giving the money about s100, 0,0OO-to endow a Massachusetts ward in the univer- sity hospital in San Francisco. The gift would be of great practical as- sistance to the hospital, and this dis
 posal of the money-since sufferers from earthquake or fire are to be given preference-would probably come as near fulfilling the original intent of the givers as any after ar rangement could do. A pro rata re- turn of any such surplus is nearly impossible and entirely unsatisfac- tory. While the mere fact of such sum remaining unspent is always a disappointment it is perhaps una voidable and a practical and humane disposition of 1t is to be preferred to it's accumulation and non-usaRe.

FOR CoLoRED TENEMENTs
Hartford Wants Them-Negro Pastor
 Says Experience is Against It.

Hartford, August 2S.--A meeting
 Of the committee on the investigation
 Of tenements occupied by colored people of this city was held in the
 Busnell park office of the superin- l tendent of parks, Wednesday evening. Reports were heard from those ap- pointed at the meeting of the com
 mittee last week to inspect the ten
 ements in the different wards. The
 meeting was presided ever by Chair 1 man G. A. Parsons, and the Rev A.
 Johnson acted as secretary. Others
 present were George A. Parker, sup erintendent of parks; 5. Alderman
 Frank s. Cushman, c. c. E. Jacobs,
 J, L. Wheeldin, the Rev B. w. Swain, Jackson Ross, J. P. Fletcher and c. c. Davis.
 Reports given from six different
 wards on an aggregate number of sixty-four tenements investigated
 showed that although conditions in some vicinities were comparatively
 good, other quartars for which high. rents are paid are wholly unfit for habitation. The worst sections of the colored residence districts on which reports were made are Liberty street Huntley place and lower Pearl street the last named probably. the worst.
 Reports were made that showed that in nearly every case the people occupying the tenements were will ing to cooperate with the committee in the work they are doing, but in a few cases there was some reluctance as to giving the required information owing, it is supposed, to a misunder- standing of the motive of the investi- gators. In nearly all of the wards the colored people are much in the minority and thus do not get the rep resentation politically that is given other nationalities, as for instance the Hebrews and the Italians. In view of this fact MT Parker explained that the, committee aims to remedy matters and enable the negroes to get somewhere near the equivalent they are paying for rent, simply by expos ing the conditions as they exist, and thus require the landlords to improve the quarters of the colored tenants. In case this was found to be impos- sible the only other feasible plan would probably be to recommend that the city secure tract of land having good sanitary arrangements and build houses thereon, so that any ten ants who are dissatisfied might ob- tain better quarters.
 When the matter of providing land for the negro tenement houses to be built on was introduced some of the colored members of the committee expressed unfavorable opinions re- garding the proposition on the ground that it had the appearance of colonization, which has proved un. satisfactory in other cities. The Rev B: W. Swain of the Zion A. M. E. | church said that statistics showed | that such system, when made com has led to increased crime and a general lessening of moral tone among the people of the community. Another meeting will be held in the same office Thursday evening, Sep- tember 3, at o'clock. z.

that a popular campaign fund be
raised by each number OF the party
