diamond fields having been discovered. The stones are said to be purer than the South African products, plentiful in quantity and cheaper of production. They are found by dredging in rivers and streams, and the cost of dredging 8 is said to be offset by the gold found. Thus far, about 12,OOO,0 900 carats have been found, and it is predicted that the yield of the next ten years will exceed the total from the South African fields during the past 3S years. American capital is in control of this new source of diamond supply.
 It might seem that this Brazilian discovery would assure competition in the diamond market and bring lower prices, but these results are not prob able. When Russian oil fields began to compete with the American product ill the worlds markets, a division of territory soon followed, with a >conse- quent abatement of competition. It is eminently probable that the South Af- rican and Brazilian competitors in the diamond market will effect a similar agreement and that market prices will be maintained. Even should this not occur, an increasing demand for the most beautiful of all precious stones would probably cause a maintenance of prices.

MORE DRASTIC MEASURE
NEXT TIME.

The rejection of the public utilities bin by the Judiciary committee was not unexpected, but the unanimity of the vote is a surprise. It was known early last October that the General As- sentbiy was being packed against the measure, and it was expected that Speaker Banks would SO construct the Judiciary committee as to assure an unfavorable report, but it had not been believed that the packing process was so thorough and complete. Gov. Iilley's campaign was based principal demand for public utilities commis- sion his election may be attributed. There is not reasonable doubt that a great majority of the voters favor a public utilities commission and that they believed, from the Lilley cam paign, 1t would be forthcoming, but they were hoodwinked in the 1egisla- tive nominations. While MT. Lilley was mission, the party leaders were se- cretly packing the General Assembly against a commission. It was a dou- ble-acting plan and it worked success fully.
 The public utilities corporations have won this time. They were warned from time to time by the Hartford Courant that their better policy would be to allow passage of the pending bill, for 1t would be succeeded in the next General Assembly by a more drastic measure. This prediction will probab- ly be fulfilled, and. we very much doubt whether the next General Assembly can be packed, as was the present body. Legislative nominees will be required to state their views, and may be asked to give written pledges. Pub lie sentiment is aroused to the situa- ton and is not likely to be caught mapping next year.

WHAT AN IMPARTIAL
 CONfMISSTON COTrrn no

The National Republican platform, adopted last year, declared in favor of tariff duties equal to the difference in cost of production here and abroad, with reasonable profit added thereto. So far as we have observed, neither the Ways. and Means committee which constructed the House bill, nor the Finance committee which report ed the Senate bill, made any sufficient effort, if any at all, to ascertain such difference in cost of production. The two committees apparently limited their activities to the entertainment, not of what duties were actually need ed to meet foreign competition, but of what duties the interested corporations and persons desired. This action was not in accord with the Republican platform, nor with the interests of the people.
 These facts give force to the demand for a permanent tariff commission, the main duty of which would be to col lect facts, as for instance the difference in cost of production here and abroad, such information to be reported to Congress for its guidance in making tarif amendments from time to time. It is clear that Congressional commit tees will never do this work; in fact, they could not devote the necessary time to it without neglecting other du- ties.
 A tariff commission could, if prober- 1y constructed, do most sa1utary work. Impartiality as between revenue and protective tariffs should be it's prime rule of action. It would report facts on1y-not distorted differences. If the creation of such a commission should be authorized it's control would at once be sought by interests which enjoy and desire to retain unnecessarily high duties, and should they succeed, the commissions reports would be value less. They would be simply statements designed to uphold the wishes of high Iy protected persons and corporations.
 An impartial commission would be a blessing to a tariff-ridden people. Con- gress could not shunt aside it's reports in the face of public sentiment. There would probably be some relief from tariff duties which yield much more than reasonable profits and which much more than cover the difference in cost of production here and abroad.

OPERATION IN SURGERY
 ENVELOPES INFANTS BRAIN

New York, April 20.-An operation in surgery which was performed in Brooklyn a few weeks ago with the aim of preserving the life of a. micro had up to date most gratifying results. The operation was performed on March B at Dr. Herbert c. Aliens clinic at the Cumberland Street Hospital, a branch of the FTatbush Hospital. It was frankly an experiment in surgery, for while the hospital physicians would not say that the operation had not been performed before, they could find no record of such an operation, and the results, with their large possibili- ties, were looked forward to with par ticular interest.

For about 3S years. South Africa has produced the worlds supply of dia- monds, and a combination of the pro- ducers has so regulated the supply as to maintain, and even increase, the market prices of good stones. One re- suit has been that the steadily increas- ing value has led many to buy the stones not only as ornaments but also as Investments.

One result of the wheat corner and it's high prices will probably be such an increase in wheat acreage as will reduce prices next year. In 1898, a cor ner raised the price to s1.S5; the next year, overproduction cut down the price to 80 cents. Millers are complain ing of a reduced demand for flour; this is a natural result of increased prices. Demand always lessens, when prices are above what the market will bear.

In 1904 there were S6 trusts, of which 69 were organized with the fostering aid of the Dingley tariff bill which is now in force. It is impossible to state how many have been organized since 1904, but there is a virtual certainty that the number has increased largely.

they had to give the defendant the

wards, said the State had made out
it's case.

mitted he had served year fol
