THE BOSTON AND MAINE SALE.

The various railroad stories which have been radiating from Boston as to the Boston and Maine road make in- teresting reading to every New Eng lander inasmuoh as they bear vitally upon the railroad future of this sec- tion of the country Ever since the phenomenal purchase of 10000 shares of stock in the Boston and Maine road some months ago by John l. Billiard, of Meriden, those who follow the rail- road securities markets have been looking for Inc sequel story which, they expected, would satisfactorily clear up the big mystery.
 What has been suspected right along in many quarters Is now authoritative . ly reiterated, namely. that 1t was MT. Morgan who was behind tho big "Bil- lard" purchase. Furthermore, 1t is now stated that in the two months since that purchase MT. Morgan mas spared no pains to secure other Boston and Maine stock until he now has an easy majority some 16O,OOO out of tho S1S,- GOO odd shares there are. This stock has been secured by purchase, in the main, or by making on exchange of Ameri- can Bell Telephone stock for it. a proposition not apt to be refused by any individual stockholders inasmuch as tho latter stock regularly pays eight per cent. to the Boston and Maines six or seven per cent
 The Journal-Courier has, from the first been out of sympathy with the governments action brought to prevent the New York, New Haven and Hart ford from consolidating it's interests with the Boston and Maine. In the

WORTHY OF AL TRIBuTEs,

ANOFWlGH bulielll'l
 The Catholics of eastern Connecticut deeply feel the sudden death of BisR- op Michael TIerney, who was so re- gently here performing the duties of his office, He was 2eaolusly devoted to the spiritual and temporal advance ment of the church, and wherever Ing went he attracted by his dignlhed and Christian bearing people of other faiths He did not spare himself in any work which he believed was for the good ot hs people, and he was sensitive to their every need and quick to respond to the demands of his people upon hlm, | may truly be said that he was widely respected by the people of other de- nominations and beloved by the people of hls own church who now keenly feel the bereavement of his loss
 Bishop Michael Tlerney was worthy of all the tributes now being paid to hls memory.

first place, wo have felt that such a consolidation was in no way monop- oly of interstate traffic, because the two lines arc supplemental rather than parallel to each other, Further than that, we havo felt that the best inter- ests of New England could best be had by uniform railroad control rather than with dIsjonted smaller roads If tho reports that are now coming in as to the Boston and Maine deal may be relied upon, 1t is not difficult to see that a way has been found by the powers that be in the New Haven to get around tho governments deter imitation. As is well known, Mir. Mor- gan is one of tho main movers in tho local road. If, then, he has secured for himself tho controlling interest in the Boston and Maine through tho Billiard" purchase, he can very easily see to it that the two systems arc run in uniform manner and to tho best interests of all. Tho meeting of the Boston and Maine stockholders which Is to come next week at Lawrence, will probably settle this pressing matter in the minds of all. Then, 1t is rumored, many changes in tho Boston and Maine board of directors will be made and very possibly q change will ultimately result in tho presidency, Lucius Tut tie. the present head of tho road, step- ping aside for somo ono of the Mor- gan camp-posslbly MT. John lr. Stew ens whom the New Haven road and whom Now Haven, the city, would both be loathe to lose.

TIE snonr, UGLY wonn.

Every national campaign has lts pecullarltles, its distinctive marks that dlfrcrontlate 1t from every other cam paign, one of the peeuliarlties of the present campaign Is the remarkable number of enrolments which have been made in the AnanIas club, The Yale Bryan club, recently formed, had considerable fun at Che football field last Saturday One of Its mem bers cayorted around the enclosure, made up to look as much like T. Roosevelt, Esq, as possible. on his back were signs lottered thus You're liar" I'm q lar They're all liars" The writers for the funny pa pers have had many a joke at the presidents expense because of his shown attitude to. apply the snort and ugly word promlscuouslt
 But the president Is far from being the only one to give the "lIe direct" in the present campaign. The number of flat denlaIs that resulted from the Forakcr- Haskell Standard oil dlsclos- ures are fresh in an minds. One pa- per yesterday morning contained Congressman Longworth's hot denial that he had ever declared in public that Mir. Roosevelt will be in the White House again after Mir. Taft has held the reins there for the next eight years; the denial of Mir Bryan that he ever declared In speech or editorial that he was opposed to the granting of pensions to soldiers, and other de- nials made by Judgo Parker Mr. Loeb and President Roosevelt,
 Really this sort of thing has now gone go far that it makes but little Im- pression upon the public whether q man be branded as an atrocious liar or not, Like n rever the habit seems to have been caught by every promi- nent politician It Is not limited to one or another party. somo of the adherents of each party accuse and arc accused in turn 1t Is n pleasing testimonial to Mir, Taft's real inherent worth thnt he has seen nt not to fling "liar-mud" right and left about him as the campaign has progressed. He has the higher esteem of q great num- Der of his countrymen because of it. Ills friends wont believe the lies that are told about him, such as the re- port that he declared a dollar a day was a good enough wage for the American laborer; and his enemies won't believe him when he declares his accusers are liars anyway

MIR. LILLELY nE-sAMpLED.

We ask special attention to that ar- ticle in our news columns to-day in which ex-Attorney General Phelps de- nies the statements of Mir. Lilley in his Meriden speech and in which also Mir. Lilley eats his own words. The matter is not ono that bears on any regular issue of the campaign. But it does bear and bear hard on Mir. L,elleys own personality. With what propriety did MT. Lilley announce in advance without the official authority of the special legislative commission the feeling of their public utilities bill7 With what source of moral and statutory proportion did he pervert bunch of mere memoranda of tho commission into @ 'bill drawn and ready for presentation?" And what sort of governor, after election, call ed upon to analyze and sign important bills, will MT. Lilley be when he has no nicer discrimination than that bee fore election? Docs not the episode re-sample MT. Lilley and reveal that same temperamental laxity which-to shift Congressman Hilrs metaphor sent our congressman-at-large a-hunt- ing at Washington ,malodorous ani- nal but with blank cartridge and a run that went off at half cook?
 But, if Mir. Lilley went far astray through the woods In his Meriden speech. on the public utilities bill there is one point on which. if he will, he can speak clearly and generously In that same address he roundly denounced trolley stock watering in this state. Now 1t happens that about one-half tho total volume of water, or some s1b.O0o.0oO,, was poured at a single spurt some eight years ago, into the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company; that the very next railroad commission report conceded and condoned tho massive hydraulic act; and that one of the sgners of tha. report was a gentleman not un- known to Connecticut politics, Orsa- mus R. Fyler, of Torrington. Ills term on the state railroad commission expires next July. Long before any public utilities bill can be acted or by the legislature Mir. Lllley, if gov ernor, must nominate for the vacancy. Will he in hls next speech tell us whether or not he will re-appoint Mir. Fyler and, Incidentally, rehearse some of the past inflrmities of the railroad commission where the chief engineer of the party engine has been 50 long intrenched7 We doubt it. But if MT. Lilley will assent the Con- necticut voter will listen with three cars.

 The death of Bishop Tierney of this diocese came with q shock because he was so active and useful man that 1t was not generally realized that he was well along in years.

THE StnLEY LETTER.

It is a surprising confession that ex- Congressman J. c. slbley of Pennsyl- vania had to make to the public con- corning his business relations with MT John n. Archbod of the Standard oil company. For thirty years he has had this relation and for a considerable part of the time was a representative of the people, His constituents he de- clares, "knew precisely the relations ex- isting between the Standard oil com pany and myself" and "the three pres idents of our nation during my term of service were familiar with t'e fact of my business connection with the Standard oil company"
 It may be that J, c. sibley dlscharg- ed properly his duties toward the coun- try generally in his position as a con- gressman and at the same time per formed his duties faithfully toward his client, the Standard oil company It is conceivable that he could have held both positions with credit and honor, at least he shows a willingness to prove 1t and wants published all the correspondence that ever passed be- tween Mr. John D, Archbod and him self There is a frankness and a desire to be clearly understood by the pub lie expressed in this letter to the pub lie that is commondabe, Yet there Is widely distributed feeling of sus- picion in these days concerning men in public office who are also retained by
