More Good News

When the big corporations begin plac- ing large orders it is generally taken as a sign that times are looking up and that business is going to be good for some time to come. Corporations, es- pacially railroads, seldom invest in better rolling stock until they are ac- tually forced to and have the means at hand to make prompt payment. The Erie railroad has let contracts to various car building companies for 4,000 new cars and for forty locomotives. Some of the smaller roads of the south are order ing cars In smaller lots. So with the car building industry and so with most industries. Orders are increasing ill number and size and they are coming, as a rule, from the customers who are not irregular or irresponsible, which manufacturers take as an indication that business in most lines is looking up and will be back where all want to see it in the early fall. Waterbury will be glad to see a restoration of "good times" al though it has good reason to consider it. self among the fortunate cities of the country now.-Waterbury Republican

THE sUFFRAIesTs' CONQUEST

The suffragist ladies have come, and seen, and conquered. as might have been expected.
 With their winning ways, their strong arguments and their forceful presenta- tion of facts, they hypnotized the ven- turesome men who attended the meeting Monday night to such an extent that those who went to scoff remained to pay and sign the roll of believers"
 The sequel makes it plain that the lords of creation are convinced that there's no use pricking against the kicks any longer-''the footprints on the wall are too plain.
 The day of woman's emancipation is st hand, and the female automobile that is rolling over the would-be obstruction ists, like veritable juggernaut, is sure ly smoothing the road to a favorable delegation of representatives to the next legislature from Litchfeld county - which is confessedly, the purpose of the hilarious joy ride.
 And so mote it be.

NO MORE PALLADIUM

The old New Haven Palladium, aged 83 years, which had swallowed some shorter-lived contemporaries, in It's day, has finally been swallowed, itself, by it's venerable but vigorous contemporary, the Journal Courier, which was founded in 1766."
 There was time, not so long ago. swhen it looked as if the swallowing pro- cess might have worked the other way, but since Col. N. c. Osborn took the helm of the Journal-C Courier it has come to the front with stately and strenuous strides until it is now perhaps the lead ing morning newspaper of Connecticut and one of the a6lest and most infuen- tial in New England.
 The Palladium passed into the hands of a receiver 8 few weeks ago. and it's property and goodwill have been pur, chased by the Journal, Courier, for $22,- 500,> With its issue of last Monday the Palladium went out of existence, leaving the J.-C. sole master of the morning field, which it will fill to the complete satisfaction of the reading public.

 "This incident happened in a buckle berry patch. The snake escaped, and a careful search of the vicinity for over two hours failed to locate it. Presuma- bly, It is still at large in that huckleberry field. Presumably the owner of those huckleberries will have his fruit all to himself, and not be bothered by visiting pickers whom he does not invite. 1t Is cheaper to publish such a story than to arrest and prosecute trespassers, as the Hartford Courant so earnestly recom- mends."
 There is nowhere any intimation, sug- gestion or inference that the Sheldon bull that goes paving and believing over the Toms Hill region, in Wetaug, and keeping a watchful eye on one Fred Scamerhorn who is building cellar on the c. H. Pease section of the territory, is pastured where he is for the purpose of protecting the helpless berries that grow big and plentiful all around there -Scamerhorn doesn't like berries, and Pease has enough of his own. Neverthe- less, since it has become known that the ugly bovine is stationed where he is, berry -pickers are giving the hill wide berth. Of the two expedients for safe guarding forbidden fruit, the bull seems preferable to the snake. granting that there is an "ulterior motive" in the bulls employment. The serpent in the Garden didn't hinder Adam from climb ing the posted apple-tree. If Sheldon's bull had been there it would have been better for all of us.

Finally forced, in spite of itself, to elucidate the wherefore of that celebrated Pittsfield Clubs name, the Eagle screams, "Once and for all, dope means dope" It has taken a lot of prodding to get this admission, and one might al most feel constrained to wonder why the Eagle should not have given this straight forward answer in the first place, instead of evading the question until it could no longer get around it.
