But the advances made in the study of the

full that a brief survey of them will indicate the
basis on which the scientific weather prophets
make their promises Until weather forecasting

WHAT WE'RE THOSE SUB-
 SURFACE tINFTUENCES?'

Our esteemed local contemporary the Post, expressed the opinion last week .9that influences that do not ap- bear on the surface were largely re- nponsible for this most agreeable set
 clement of the difficulties fbetween fahe city and the railroadf'
 The Farmer suggests thAtna bill of particulars should be furnished. Evil minded persons might infer that these sub-surface influences were Of an inn proper kind. For the good name of Bridgeport, it's Mayor and it's Alder manic majority. such ami inference cannot be allowed to pass unchalleng- cd into the record of the 'harbor line car barn contest. The characters of the ofdcials subject to that inference which may be based upon a. statement from q friendly source, should not be impeached without evidence nor upon . blind statement that tinfluences that do not appear on the surface caused in large part the abject sur render of the city to the railroad. We submit that. in simple justice to them, the statement above quoted, demands an explanation from its source.

GROSS INJUSTICE TO
THE RAILROAD

eve have in fact saysi; Harbor- master Morris, is.paid tfie srailroad connpany to take our property from us,, This is, in effect, aif assertion that the railroad gives ho compensa- taon whatever therefor. and. despite our previous endorsement of MT. Mor- ris. position and in simple justice to fhe railroad, we must protest against such inaccuracy. to speak; mildly. or ntaxennent. The road does compensate the city for the II acres of harbor area and the privilege of, grade eros ninxs at Stratford and Congress ave nues, and it does so with superb mu- nincence. It promises the city some feet. or yards. or rods of grooved rails on Main street. value perhaps running into the millions: rits promises not to do away with certain side waahs which are essential to its own interest, it gives the city the tran nfent use of an infinitesiural harbor- uide park; it will remove the Nauga- t,1csr dock provided the government does not, at its request, forbid re- mopal. etc
 And vet Harbormaster Morris ihti- mates. that all the compensation em- bodied in this-as the Post styles it. s.mosk agreeable settlement goes from the city to the railroad We protest against such gross Injustice toward the road. MT. Morris asser- ton is untrue; the verities are not in 1t In his attempt-in Mayorial phrase = to ssarray class against class" and to practice l" the arts of the dema- eoxue,. he has passed the limits of veracity. <,
 what does a gift of harfbor area worth $25o, 900 measure when contrast ed with, a return gift of.- perhaps. million of dollars in grooved rails? suppose the city were compelled to pay for those rails as the price of retaining its harbor unimpaired, and this too on top of an increase of s147.- 765 in the city debt during the yearl would it not be as heavy a burden upon the taxpayers as the cost of the new sewer system?
 : Harbormaster Morris appears to have lost his sense of the relative proportions of things. He regards 3z50,0o0 highly, but refuses to consider srooved rafls-be they inches, feet or yards and however great the cost as of any value whatever It may be a case of honest error, but we greatly fear that the gross injustice to the road was intentional-in either event, we protest

Before sailing for Europe, John w. Gates said:r "It may be known in heaven what has been done and what is to be done in regard to the tariff but is not known on this sphere. We may know all about it in some other world, but not here.''
 MT. Gates is unduly pessimistic. Fix actly what has been. and is being done with the tariff, will become known when the customs appraisers and the courts reveal the tricks and little jokers" which have been and are being incorporated in the bill. For instance we may then come to know whether the maximum or minimum duties are to prevail. which is at present a disputed point.
 Generally speaking. however, Mr. Gates does not need heavenly vision and understanding to realize that the big trusts are being cared for, and that the interests of consumers are receiving slight. if any, consideration.
 We were. also. informed lately that President Taft twill approve what in his opinion may be a poor bill rather than have the tariff question open. This means that he will not exercise the veto power even though the bill when complete, should violate all campaign pledges, his own included. With this assurance, Congress can proceed to make the pending bill as highly protective or prohibitory as is the Dinglyr tariff. without danger. of Presidential interference; with the pro- cess of. making the, rich richer and the poor poorer" ,S

The General Assembly progresses

The General Assembly progresses but slowly with it's work. Indications are that adjournment. may not be reached before August. Seven months is a rather long period for the session Of the Legislature of so small a State as Connecticut. We confess to sur prise that its rural members consent to take so much time from agricul- tural duties for the sum of s3Oo parti- cularIy since their necessary expenses amount If it be true, as recently in timated by the Norwich Bulletin, that members receive other sums than that paid by the state, the delay of ad- journment becomes intelligible.
