THE HARBOR LINES
Bridgeport Telegram.)


 Those members of the Common Coun- cil who voted to table the majority report of the harbor committee in order that the subject might receive more careful consideration acted wisely. As the minority urges, there is no valid reason for the discontinuance of the present city line before there is anoth- CT ready to take it's place. It may still be doubted whether the proposal to make the city and Government lines coincide meets with public favor.
 The recent report of HarbormaSter Morris showing the number of vessels which came to Bridgeport harbor last year and the growing importance of its commerce has opened the eyes of many citizens to the real significance of the harbor dispute. It has lifted it out of the region of sentiment and given it that practical basis upon which all the wisest friends of the city have wished to see it stand. The constant discus Sions in newspapers and magazines Of the coming importance of inland wa terways have also proved illumina ting. People are beginning to see that Bridgeport is likely to have in the near future more extensive commerce than that which merely depends upon the railroad and that she ought to be able to take care of it.
 The Government line considers one set of interests to the exclusion of all others. This, if nothing else, has been clearly demonstrated in the acrid and somewhat weariSome controversy. The duty of the Aldermen towards the city seems to be plain.

Inconsistencies in telephone rates were discussed before committee of the General Assembly, Tuesday. One point raised was that in certain tele- phone district in Eastern Connecticut, a charge was made for calls from one town while from other towns no charge is made. There are other incon- sistencies in telephone rates, which were not brought out at the hearing. For instance, in the Bridgeport district
 the interior towns must pay five cents to call this city, while calls to them from Bridgeport are not charged for. The evident purpose is to secure from the inland telephone patrons who pay less than city rates, total revenue approximating the city rate. Upon the surface, such a condition seems very absurd-upon one side, charge made for a service, while upon the other no charge is made for the same service.

Ma9UE STRICTLY DEFINED
 AS CITY VS. RAILROAD

Tho harbor line contest has been in progress for weary months, and the re- f1pective merits have been so fully dis cussed that it is difficult now to find Eany new points. Comment is, there tfore, necessarily in the nature of 1 sunaming-up.
 One notable point has developed. It i is that while in behalf of the city it is
 stin urged that the harbor area avail able for anchorage facilities, etc., should not be unduly lessened, the con- Etention in behalf of the railroad that l4he city would be benefited by yielding Eabout eleven acres of harbor area has Ebeen practically abandoned. This makes
 the issue strictly defined as city inter est vs. railroad interest, or public interest vs. corporate greed.
 With this limitation of argument, it {, becomes extremely difficult to under
 stand why Mayor Lee and more or less Aldermen take the railroad side of the
 issue so strongly and actively. If the
 scene were laid in New York city or
 Philadelphia, or Boston, or Chicago, or
 in either of several other large cities, little explanation would be needed-it
 would be understood at once that cor
 poration affiliations, or worse, were at
 the DOCCOIu OI Ia0 I1dCCoT- 6uC nor6 in Bridgeport, we are in the habit of believing our officials to be impeccable to corporation blan- tdishments, absolutely incorruptible land, like Caesars wife, above suspi- tcion. We hope to continue to enter itain this happy belief, but are con ffronted by an issue on which though scity and corporate interests are clear fly antagonistic, city officials are found lon the corporations side, not passive tly but actively, vigorously and un- Icompromisingly.
 Let us hope, for the sake of the city's flair fame, that some great light will lfan upon these officials and that, for ttheir own sake at least, they will re- 'pent of their errors and cease to mis-
 represent their constituents and to rec ognize only the demands of a great and greedy railroad corporation. If
 they do not, they are quite likely to
 linear something drop'' at the next
 election.

ADDITION TO MEMORIAL FUND
Remains of Centennial Fund Will be Turned Over to the Committee in Charge of Memorial to Late James W. Beardsley.

A meeting of the committee which had the borough centennial in charge in 1900 and the committee of the board of trade on the Beardsley memorial was held, last night, in which the plan to turn over the funds remaining with the Centennial committee was dis cussed. EX-Mayor Hugh Stirling was the chairman of the committee and presided. c. c. Wilson was secretary. Hon. Morris B. Beardsley. Senator M. w. Manwaring. H. H. Jackson. Fred Enos, David F. Read and other mem- bers of the Centennial committee were present. The board of trade was rep presented by Judge George w. Wheel CT, Hon. Morris B. Beardsley Fred Enos and Frederick Sailer. After the 1900 centennial celebration the sum of s9O0 remained unexpended in the hands of the committee. The interest for eight years has accumulated. It is proposed to turn this money into the BeardSley memorial fund to assist in paying for the statue of the late James W. Beardsley. who died as the result of injuries received in attack by rob bers. nearly 20 years ago. The statue is completed and will be set up in Beardsley park which was given to the city by MT. Beardsley. The monument is heroic in size. cast in bronze the work Of Charles Henry Niehaus. famous sculptor. The figure stands leaning upon a cane in a pose char acteristic of the subject.

New Jersey now has a law, under which each town has "a board of pro- tectors' whose duty is to investigate drunkenness and to notify liquor deal CTS not to sell to any person "who is an habitual drunkard or is likely to become drunkard by the use of in- toxicating liquors," and the penalties provided for sales to a near drunk ard' are a fine of $50 for the first vio- lation, of s1OO for the second and of s200 for the third with possible re- vocation of license.
 Prohibitfonists assert that every drinker, even the most moderate, is a near drunkard." If then they should capture these boards of protectors" it might become difficult for even the casual drinker to quench his thirst, un- less surreptitiously, without running the risk of being publicly stigmatized IS '-Ekely to become a drunkard."

If your stomach is not in good condi- tion, your food will not properly digest
 And if your food does not digest your body will not receive the entire nourishment that the food contains and instead of rich, red blood which means health. happiness, energy and ambition, your blood will become inn poverished and your health impaired.
 A healthy stomach has strong walls of an elastic nature, which expand and contract while mixing with the food the juices that digest the food
 l, If the stomach walls are weak and have lost their elasticity. they cannot properly mix the digestive juices with the food, and fermentation of food takes place in the stomach.
 And every dyspeptic should bear in mind that fermented food furnishes very little nutrition to the blood. and what it does furnish is apt to be of a poisonous character.
 Mi-o-.na will tone up the stomach walls and make the stomach so strong and sweet, that the food will not fer ment, but will be digeSted properly.
 Druggists sell it for 50 cents a large box, under a rigid guarantee to cure indigestion, belching of gas, sour stom- ach, dizziness, headaches, nervousness, foul breath. waterbrash and despond- ency, or money back.

The report from Washington that Congressman Hill will be left off the tariff conference committee in viola tion of precedents, because too inde pendent in thought and action, is somewhat surprising. Here in Con- necticut, he is classed as a regular of the regulars. As a conferree on the tariff bill, he would probably represent the Administration position, and the reason for the contemplated slight is evidently an intention to antagonize that position very materially in the conference report.

he was cited to appear before Surrogate

This act makes him liable to contempt
