Speaking of the great steamship lines and the cost of operating here and abroad in a recent consul re- port we are told that it costs a great deal, more to operate Ameri- can than European ships, and were this otherwise the capital ventured in a line of modest proportions might we'll be intimated by the completely organized foreign enterprises now handling the worlds traffic. Steam CTS are operated in great fleets, with ports of call visited at regular in tervals, and the through bill of lad ing is coming into more and more general use. The increasing num- Der of German vessels in Marseille illustrates what is being done. In 1895 German shipping tonnage en- tered and cleared at Marseille was only 129,69S tons; it had increased to 17O,S53 tons by 1900; in 1906 it amounted to 941,192 tons. repre- senting a network of lines in every direction owned by the two great German companies or their subsi- diaries. In 1906 the total shipping tonnage of Marseille was 15,930,9S9 tons, and 1t is probable that not more than 2,000, ,0o0 tons were rep resented by tramp ships, and many of these were time chartered by firms who thus improvised lines of their own. American shipowners can not afford to feel their way to- ward success on a small scale, and still less can they afford to do so under existing conditions. We are unlikely to see a great American commercial fleet in European waters until the standard American wage has been reduced to the European level or until we find some means which will make up the difference. backed up by sufficient guaranty l1dI lulS lu6dhS Cdu u6 ucpchuSu 'h as long as it shall be needed. The geographical situation of the United States compels most American navi-' gation lines to depend upon traffic between the port of departure and port of arrival, and when any great difference in the bulk of merchan- disc imported and exported exists freight rates must be averaged to get back operating cost. European sea powers are much more favor ably located in this respect than the United States. The great Eng fish lines to the Orient, for exam pie, sail from London, and call at Marseille, sometimes Naples, Port Said. Alden and half dozen or more East Indian and oriental
 ports. discharging and receiving freight, thus managing to keep the vessels holds full more or less all the time.

 The statement was in reply to one of those wild yarns which are being sent out from New Haven these days with considerable frequency. The latest story had it that one of the re- suits of the trip to Chicago is a move- ment in favor of Charles F. Brooker, national, committeeman, for United States senator, to succeed Senator Brandegee, whose term expires next March.
 There may be movement on foot in favor of MT Brooker,"o said Sheriff Hawley, but so far it has not seri- ously developed. If 1t should be start ed don't imagine that 1t will receive the slightest support in Fairfield county.

and has employed his office to de- prive the opposition of their votes. This sort of practical politics Is not rare in the western hemisphere or even in the United States and It has been a fruitful source of revo- lution, for what the other side IS unable to get by votes, it usually tries to obtain by guns. If the United States must interfere in Panama, it will have to maintain control just as England has had to maintain control in India, in the Transvaal, in Egypt, just as we are now controlling in Cuba, and in all probability will have to continue that control.

The death of Grover Cleveland which was announced yesterday morning shocked the whole country. for we had been reading that the ex-president while yet very sick was presumably in fair way to live for some time to come. His family was preparing to go to the summer home, and only the night before his death Mrs Cleveland gave out the information that there was no i'm mediate danger. Cleveland's name has been in the mouths of many people for many years but never more so than during the past six months, for 1t recalled the panicky times that was forced on the coun- try after his last administration, but which every one knows was not caused by any act of his as presi- dent. On several occasions since his retirement he might have had the honor of a third term thrust upon him had his health been such as to allow him to act. and had he been inclined to accept further honors from the people of the country. He was a democrat, but not of the par ty that dominates the fold at the present day. Never radical he was often called a mugwump or an in- dependent. He believed in civil service rather than to the victor be- longs the spells. and because he re- fused to distribute offices to demo- crats only he made many enemies in his own party His long record has been one to he proud of and the country loses aR able and eonscien- tious citizen by his death.
