The Man Without a Country.

Poor DIR. Cook! He had his little
blaze of glory in the eye of the world
and now he is paying the penalty. An
exile, fleeing from the sight of his in
dignant countrymen, ashamed to face
all men, he sought to hide himself
among strangers, down behind the
bulge of the earth. But he failed. Even
in Chill there were eyes to see him
and fingers to point him out as the
most conspicuous liar of this genera
ton.
Cook deceived the world, and the
world will not soon forget that it owes
him a grudge. For the world holds it.
self wise, and is also inclined to hero
worship. and when it's intelligence is
deceived and its instructive applause Of
a fine deed is betrayed, the world likes
to punish the deceiyer with exquisite
vengeance.
The repudiated explorer knows now
the full meaning of the retribution he
must pay. In all the earth there is no
place where he may hide. The fur
thest continents and the isles Of the
sea cannot conceal him. Wherever
civilized men resort there will appear
accusing fingers and Wagging tongues
Around him will be scorn, and within
him. if ne is the deliberate liar the
world thinke him. there will be torture
and a shrinking Of soul. This is a
dreadful penalty to pay for any fault
the knowledge that in all the world one
has no friend.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

RAILROAD REGULATION.

The era of railroad regulation which
the country entered upon two or three
years ago is slowly coming to an end.
for it is being discovered that pros
perity is not advanced by too much
political interference with the great
carrying lines of the country. There
have been 80 bills entered in congress
this year for the purpose OF regulat-
ing the railroads of the country, a few
of them doubtless entered In the in
terests OF the people, and the remain
der in the interest of politicians who
hope to benefit by menacing the bust
ness of these great corporations. 1t
must be conceded that 80 separate
laws are ten times as many as would
be likely to be required to provide for
the proper conduct Of railway affairs
in this country.
While the railroads are not wholly
blameless for this condition Of affairs,
it is certainly time that the war upon
them should cease and rational means
be taken to get the concessions which
are just. It does not take a philoso-
pher to discover that the political med
ding with railroads. is far from being
wise, and that there is a chance to
succeed in obtaining every just con-
cession with less bills than with such
a mighty number. The Railway Bus
mess association is trying to get these
many measures formed into one sane
and helpful bill, to have the law es-
tablished and then to be left to pur-
sue their business prof1tably and peace
ably as are other great industries of
the country. There is no sense in
such shower of bills, large portion
OF which were never designed to be-
come law.

Re- Districtinr the State.

The recent conference of republican
party leaders from the Second con-
agreements are supposed to have been
made touching the political future of
Congressman Tilson and Colonel Shep-
ard, appears to have stimulated inter
est in the re-districting of the state
into FIVE congressional districts. In
certain quarters. at least, it is taken
for granted that after the next census
the state will be re-districted. In
other quarters, the suggestion is lis
tened to with a doubtful shake of the
head
The Hartford Courant belongs to
the hopeful class. 1t says: But a
new census is to be taken this year
and it is doubted that re-districting
can be longer deferred" If we are to
examine this statement in the light of
the history. as written for over a
gtneration. it carries very little con-
viction with it. 1t has always been
the understanding of the United
States that Connecticut. like every
other state in the union, would obey
the laws of the land, but 1t has over
and over again refused to do so.
When James D. Pigott was a member
of the house he undertook to induce
congress to force the state to obey
the law, but as he was in the political
minority his campaign was unsuccess-
full. Mr.. Lilley, when he was a mem

tives from Waterbury, presented

He was unsuccessful in his undertake
ing, not because he had gerrynander-
ed the state. which he had not done
but because influential politicians
were not sure how the dominant party
would fare under il. At the present
moment there is no assurance that the

baking IN the sun for weeks. Even
the deeper holes along the larger
brooks dropped down until they were
nothing but mudholes. The trout had
hard times right through the cold
weather. AS a matter of fact, there
wasn't much water when freeze time
came and the brooks froze pretty well
to the bottom, so even though some
trout went through the hot spell, they
ended their wiggies in solid ice. The
