nles, It is reasonably clear that a general assembly meeting only once in tWenty-four months and then for six months being pressed by thousand matters of conflicting interest cannot give the needed public assurance. That this substitute governmental tool should he of the finest texture and tho cloanest finish must he admitted, while the very demand for 1t prccon- celves free exchange of opinion among all interested.
 Of especial interest Is the suggestion that tho proposed commission would virtually establish government owner ship, at least to the extent to which 1t It would be informing to learn what the corporations think about this, cspe- clally If tho biggest of them should take what at present appears to be the
 
 solid position, namely that unless some sort of working partnership can bt created between the corporations anC the government, more radical recon mendation will be made and adopted The state of Connecticut was many years coming to the point of recogniz Ing a natural monopoly but in no sens, of the word was the act of recognition a surrender to 1t.

VALUABLE PROMOTION.

The poet truly says that high minded men constitute state, and when some of them are also 'hust- lers" they can make their state pretty well known California has some high minded men who call them- selves and are the California Promo. ton Committee This committee constantly gives to the world reports on the commercial and industrial con ditions of California These reports are neither optimistic nor pesimlstic; they are Just accurate, their accuracy being recognized by the federal gov. ernment which makes frequent calls upon the committee for information and also seeks It's assistance when making investigations. Recently when government engineers spent two weeks in San Francisco on their river and harbor inquiry, they were in con- stant touch with the committee At present inqulrers for information con corning California are referred by all departments of the national govern ment to the California promotion committee. Foreign governments also mako use of 1t and frequently send 10 it for information. Publishers of encyclopedias and other books re- gard It as one of their most authentic sources of information on matters re- latng to California
 Though Connecticut has already been pretty well promoted and oe- cuples a place in the forward part oi the procession she could benefit by q Promotion committee, especially by ono which, like the California commit. 1 tee, pays it's own expenses and onlS seeks to benefit ita beloved state.

BOYS AND TIMES.

The good old times were the best times. There can be no doubt about that, because almost everybody thinks so and many say so. One of the worst things of tho present times Is the way children behave to their parents They didn't use to do so when the world was younger and parental discipline more strenuous and successful An indication of the real state of things a long while ago i8 given in a letter written two or three centuries before Christ by a boy of fourteen, and re gently discovered by an oxford pro- lessor It k addressed to the boys father, who was going to Alexandria, and had refused to take his son with him The boy accepts this decision In anything but a docie spirit This is fine thing he writes, '1f you won't take me to Alexandria l won't write you a letter or speak to you or say goodby to you He threatens also not to eat or drink, and winds up

A SMOOTH VIEW OF TT.

There las been debate in the Rus
 sian Duma over the proposal to raise the Russian legation in Tokio to the rank of an embassy, and in the course
 of the debate tho Russian minister for foreign affairs spoke many smooth
 words about Japan He didn't think
 Japan has really hurt Russia much
 It was evident to him that lasting peace and the protection of Russian in- terests could only be assured by q re- casting of the relations with Japan. That was what he had kept in view, There were many examples in history of peoples who had learned to respect each other after a war and had found scope for good and sincere relations and for work In common in the spread of civilization That, however, was on- ly possible when neither of the two parties suffered loss in its historical patrlmony, which It's ancestors had won through their own sacrifices, and was the natural consequence of nation al development However distressing might he the sacrifices made in thc Portsmouth treaty, it must still be ac-

LINcoLN's FAITH.

AS illustrated of Mr.. Lincoln's superb
faith, l will give an instance that l
have never seer in print, writes Gen.
o. o. Howard in the Century. In the
largest room in the White house, on
the second floor, were gathered a num-.
Der of officers Of the army, then of
prominence by reason of the commands
that they held in the field; many civil
lians who held no office, but who had
come from the north to see Washing
ton and pay their respects to MT. Lin
coin, and perhaps get contracts essen.
tia1 to running the government, and a
few members of congress.
At first it appeared more like a large
reception, where, after shaking hands,
people stayed to chat with one an
other. Not far from Mr.. Lincoln a
prominet senator whom we may call
Senator D, in a strong, deep voice,
remarked: II believe that, IL we could
only do right as a people. the Lord
would help us and We should have a
decided c In this terrible strug-
gle." Mr.. Lincoln, hearing the remark
Of the senator, with his clear shriil
enunciation, cried out: MY faith Is
greater than yours"
Everybody turned and looked at the
president, who vas head and shoulders
above all there assembled. The sena-
tor who had spoken then said, How
SO Mr.. Lincoln?"
81 am confident said he, that God
will make us do sufficiently right to
give us the victory"
