BUSINESS aApoMErEHs.

The interview obtained with DR.. John
Pierpont Morgan OF Yale. upon his de-
larture for Europe, In reference TO the
financial conditions at present In this
country calls attention again TO the
ever-increasing spirit of optimism tina,
Is being felt these days by CONNER
cial men
For the speedy return Of prosperity
the times are unfortunately adverse.

Characteristic this year As for the
| uncertainties Of election day, they are
by no means so foreboding as they
might be Says the Springfield Re-
publican, speaking OF our business men
Many OF them are not disposed to
view the improbable success of the
opposition ticket as so crushing a cal
amity as Bryan's possible election was
regarded in 1896 or even In 1900 The
two great parties are now so much
nearer together on questions affecting
property and business than they we're
then, that no good reason can exist for
great scare during the oncomins
presidential canvass Taking this
view of the situation 1t may be con-
hdently expected that even a change
in the controlling party at the White
house would not mean necessarily a
great change In administration atti-
tude toward business institutions.

are the prospect Of crops and the
activities of the railroads. The crops
promise to be of the best Saws the
conservative Tribune; The attitude
regarding the future Is unquestionably
one Of hopefulness, and confidence
grows with the crops this year ever
more notably than usual Each day
now takes millions Of dollars worth OF
farm products beyond the reach OF

STREET FLUSHING AGAIN.

A word more upon the very COM
mendahle suggestion of Director
Foley that the streets OF New Haven
be flushed with water The New York
department Of street cleaning has just
been conducting series Of interesting
experiments as TO the practicability OF
this sort OF work which must be o.
great interest here.
Atmospheric tests have Just been
made under the direction Of Com
missioner Crowell of that city, and
two professors from the Cornell Med!-
cal school The apparatus used was
simple, but IT gave It's testimony eff
fectively. Sensitized plates were ex-
posed for fifteen minutes each over
streets that had been flushed with
water and over streets that had not
been cared for. During that space OF
time opportunity was given for the
colonies of germs and impurities thai
hover about filth, circulating in the
air, to be attracted to the plates. Later
these plates were taken to a labora.
tory and the colonies were counted
Said news account of the result
Plates exposed over one street thai
had not been cleaned revealed SC
many germ colonies that II was use
less to attempt to count them, while
plates exposed over an uncleaneC
street that was still considerably neat
err revealed, respectively, eight, nine
and ten hundred colonies Wher
three plates we're exposed over stree
which had Just been cleaned by tn,
squeeze machine---squejeed is tn,

This Is only another evidence Of tn

Southern Railroad has postponed q

the prospect that II will not then be

Ohio has restored salaries to their for

company Is not TO reduce It's common

tib0,000,000 In interest and dividends
will be paid out to American
investors, The natural tendency
Will be to reinvest this money and
then there will come the resultant de-

surely looking up" The resumption
of many mills and factories on June /

Mayor Lee Of Bridgeport, who has

Is to tell the board of aldermen whey

Mayor Lee Is opposed to the ma

THE PRICE or MEAT.

II Is pretty warm weather and II is

which has absorbed the administration
at Washington droops, but II still alert

the reasons for the increase In the

who are moved By no such spirit Of

The beef producers say that they are

got away from them and those who de-
sire meat TO eat must pay the prices
asked that they can think Of no other
escape
On the other hand, the contention is
made that the beef producers are in a
trust or a gentleman's agreement and
determine the prices TO be charged ac-
eording TO the need there Is for divi-
bends, that they are meeting harsh
economic conditions by taking full add
vantage OF their situation, that they
would soon be brought TO their feet II
the tariff on foreign meat was re-

tries, especially those to the south OF

Is widespread that a beef trust with

that Mayor Lee arrives at this con-

II Is now with the voting booth, where

who object TO the voting machine be-
cause II interferes with Independent

man, who really wants TO be reokoned

I Sklful and inventive mechanics are at

mechanical device TO reduce the item
Of labor In a given production. It Is
well to remember, however, that the
demand for the voting machine sprang
from corruption at the polls. Had po-
litical parties made an honest use OF
the original ballot, no one would have
ever thought of inventing a voting ma
chine which dehes dishonesty. II was to
put the briber and the brlbed TO flight

mense amount Of money from the con

The Physique Of Rowers.

Curious studies Of the rowing ply
sique are presented by the statistics OF
the seven university crews in the two
regattas. OF the hfty-six men at the
oars only twenty-three were less than
six feet tall. and most OF these were
within an inch OF that stature. Yale
was criticised for accepting a stroke
who carried but 1888 pounds to his six
feet and an inch, and the point seems
confirmed by the failure Of Wisconsin
with a stroke an inch taller and only
middle OF the Columbia boat, pushing
Syracuse to the limit, sat Renshaw, six
feet two, $50 pounds, The argument for
the heavier build lies with Syracuse
whose eight men averaged Ave feet ten
