the formers grounds Sunday and close
game resulted, replete with good, excit-

in the first inning and from then on the

side and then the other being in the
lead. When the smoke cleared away
the score was to 6 in favor OF Ebert.
A sample of Elizabeth's sup perior team

REFERENDUM EvERLASTINGLY
 RIGHT,

eHe1erendun, Is WOrQ IreQueHIly used of late years, more however in the Far west then in the East. Yet it's meaning Is perhaps not generally un- derstood.
 m National affairs, it would mean the submission of Congressional enact ments to final decision by a popular vote. as in the case of proposed amend nronts of the Constitution. This is not advocated. as yet. but it's adoption rnight have saiutary results-.for fn- stance. copsumsrs would be enabled to vpfe directly upon tariff duties.
 tA state affairs, it means submission ok anactments by Legislatures to the p1epfe for adoption or rejection, and it has worked well wherever tried.
 m municipal affairs. advocacy of the rsferendum applies only or mostly to charter amendments by Legislatures. It Is a measure of home rule. intended to give to cities the final and decisive voice upon the organic requirements of their own government. Otherwise. for instance, two representatives from rural towns would have as much pow CT in Formulating rules for the gov- ernment of Bridgeport as do the city's own two representatives-as is, in fact, the present situation. AS may be thus realized. the referendum supplies a needed defence for the city from inn proper enactments.
 It would also afford decisive check upon improper or unpopular 1neasures. forced upon the city by con- nfvance between the controlling powers in the General Assembly and self-seek-. ing local interests, political or other wise. Bridgeport has in the past suf- fereed in this way and from this cause.
 The Farmer regrets extremely that Mayor Lee has declared himself, op- posed to the referendum. In effect, it is q declaration of lack of confidence in the very people who elected him to office. It is even more-ft indicates lack of confidence in the principle of popular government, and carried to it's logical conclusion. supplies an argu- ment for one-rnan rule. We hesitate to believe that Mayor Lee intended to be thus understood, and yet the con- clusion that he distrusts the people is uHaVO1oaDlo.
 It has always been an American be- lief that whatever the people may do, must necessarily be right-that the people can do no wrong. We are regu- laxly confronted with this automatic saying whenever elections result in Re- publican successes. And we have come to believe 1t, and to believe it as thor oughly in municipal as in Presidential efections. Tn substance, it is an ex- precision of faith fin the good Judgment of the people as announced in the az gfegate result of their votes. Are they not as capable of rendering an accu- rate decision upon the merits of a giv- en proposition as upon the merits of rival condidacies, or citing case in the concrete, as capable of deciding upon the merits of municipal owner ship of water works now as upon the merits of the rival Mayorial candidates in the last election.
 Elections are the referendum of competing candidates to the peo- pie. The referendum as now proposed is merely an extension of popular power to the decision of ques- tions of policy. 1t is right, everlast- ingly right.

Possibly the language used by the Farmer last week in referring to the water works question may not have been so clear as intended and thus may have led the Hartford Times to believe that the words, progress at Hartford toward municipal ownership referred to the water works of the cap- ital city. The reference could not have been misunderstood in Bridgeport, for the succeeding sentence made it clear that the quoted words were intended to apply to the progress of the proposition of municipal ownership of the Bridge port water works in the General As sembly.
 In commenting upon the main ques- tion, the Times says:
 Hartford has owned it's water works from the beginning, has found them a good asset, and has been cited else where again and again as an example of the success of municipal ownership of a water supply.

Removal of the wreck of the battle ship Maine from Havana harbor should have been accomplished directly after the end of the Spanish war. In so far as :t serves as an object lesson, the purpose of it's continuance in vision had been accomplished. Possibly, its removal will reveal the cause of the explosion. Opinions have long differed as to whether it was external or inter- nal. If the former, it is believed that the cause was a. floating mine; if the latter, the fault must be placed upon either defect in construction or upon the carelessness of some member of the crew. Whatever may be the find- ing. the wreck should be removed.

Scarcity of Leather.

When the scarcity of hides ara
skins is referred to it is hardly un-
derstood by the layman, who perhaps
does not know that the world is being
secured in all corners for all avail
able skins and hides. More races are
constantly becoming civilized and the
increase of our hide and skin supply
is not in proportion to that of the hui
man race. The amount of leather
used in the manufacture of novelties
of all kinds has increased to a great
extent within a few years, says the
Shoe Retailer, but in no line has the
use of leather broadened so extensive
ly as in automobile manufacture.
Any one who is at all familiar with
an automobile knows that there is a
considerable amount of leather used
in its construction, in upholstery and
otherwise. This means a large
draught on the leather market, which
is perhaps more noticeable in the
high price of spready steers, the hides
of which are extensively used for that
purpose.

Paris.-'Ihe mysterious and won
derful Hope Diamond, the jewel that
came out of the East in the reign of
Louis XIV, and which has seemed for
many long years baleful Nemesis,
pursuing to misfortune or the grave
the monarchs, peers and laymen who
have possessed it, and bringing sud-
den sorrows to the famous women
whose beauty it has adorned, has
gone back into the East, and as popu-
lar superstition will undoubtedly de-
clare, is said to have been the cause
of it's last owners tragic end.
A curt four-line dispatch from Sin

in the wreck of the French steamer
Seyne in the China Sea.
ut is believed" the message says.
"that Habid had the Hope diamond
in his possession at the time of the
wreck"
If this is so, the mystic gem, at
once the bane and envy of kings and
potentates, has ended it's dark story
at the bottom of the Malacca Strait.
1t had been supposed that the Hope
diamond was sold by Habid in Paris
last June for $4,000. But no Dur-
chaser was ever named with author
ity Habid had brought the jewel to
Paris with many others of lesser
fame, and it was rumored that he was
an agent of Abdul Hamid; deposed
Sultan of Turkey, who was said to be
making vigorous attempts to dispose
of his jewels.
Now it is believed that Habid did
not sell it, but was taking it back to
the Orient in an attempt to sell it to
some Indian potentate.
