Berkshire Breeders Association.

The Berkshire swine Breeders As soeiation Of Connecticut Is desirous of increasing it's membership, and to that end calls attention to the fact that the,e k such an organization in this State for the furtheranee of the inter ests of it's favorite breed. The follow ing are it's officers:
 President-Joseph E. Watson, Mar bedaIe.
 Treasurer-J II. Putnam, Litchield,
 Secretafy-Geo. H. Hunt, Litchlield.
 There can be no doubt that the Berk- shire is gaining in popularity in all sec tions of the country, and with the in creased interest in corn growing, parti. cuIarly in the East, this is as il should be. There Is no animal on the farm that will show as much profit for the money expended, as A Berkshire hog a pedigree is, of course, necessary to insure purity of blood.
 The Berkshire hog bears the same relationship to good and cheap pork as the Jersey and Guernsey COW does to the production of good butter, for the minimum of food and cost.
 In urging breeders to become mem bers of the Assoeiation, they are in- formed that the dues are but S1 year. Any further information can be ob. tained of any officer above named

New Rsilro d Bridge.

The new bridge over the Thames riv- CT, at New London, to be built by the New Haven road, at cost of about E 900, ,00o, will be started this year. This structure will take the place of the old bridge, W hieh k not now ade- quate for the needs Of the company.
 The bridge will be built after the fashion of the new span over the Con nectieut river al Saybrook, that is mo- dern in every detail. The piers will be built 10 accommodate four tracks, providing for future widening, but the upper structure will be construct ed for two tracks only, just as in the case of the main line bridges built re- gently hy the New Haven company.
 The bridge over the Thames river, at New London, has been in contempla- ton for some years. The road bought the land for the approaches to the new structure years ago. The new bridge will be about 100 feet north Of the pres ent bridge.

Coxey, the renowned leader oi the hobo army through the country, le" years ago, knows just why troops are sent to the Mexican borders. He says;
 "The army of the United states has been sent to overawe the Mexican peo- pie at the command of Wall street, because Wall street has billions oi dol lars invested there.a
 There you have it. No need Of fur- ther guessing.
 A serious strike Of the Adams EX, press drivers in New York and New Jersey has materially affected the local office and disturbed shipping business generally. Strikes are bad things.
 One of the good things about having such iurist as MT. Taft at the White House is, that he can be trusted not to ask Congress for unconstitutional le. gislation. The learned newspaper law vers who were so sure he was wrong as to the validity of the corporation ,ax, have turned their attention to oth- CT topics.

By sister of St. Francis) Blesl Inisfait canst thou repine, Didst not receive thy share, Has God on any other land Bestowed such bounteous care, Has he not given thee the best Of earth or Heaven to hold, That priceless heritage of Faith, More precious far than gold See the dark clouds that hover round The lands that once were true, How dark and yet His Sunburst'S 'S

 Are heaming bright on you. 1es shining clear on every hearth, That guards the treasured gem, And God doth manifest more sure, His special care of them. An Erin, let thy beauteous brow. Re still adorned with light, Let not the foes that thee would crush Appall thee by their might, Fen though thy earthly power had
 waned, Thy sons yet nobly rise, To wrestle from reluctant hands Their long-sought cherished prize.

Oh Erin loved From Gods great boundless source, And Faith be e'er the beacon light, To guide thy onward course.

America and Argentina.

The status of the trade Of the United StaleS in the Argentine iS peculiar A few big American corporations have gone at II carefully, intelligently and with continued energy American steel and iron makers have found a profitable field in which they have won fair share of business in sharn competition with England, Germany and Belgium. Lately, Russia has an. peared upon the scene as a seller of steel rails and her prices have upset all former market conditions. It re. mains to be seen, however, whether Russia can maintain her position for any length of time as to supply aud prices.
 American harvesting machinery takes care of the crops of the Argen- tine, Us Il does those of many other countries. The American oil com. pAuies supply the Argentine market with Illuminating and luhricating oils. The American packing interests have gone heavily into the shipping of frozen and chilled meats, and now control probably fifty per cent. of the l Argentine export trade in those prod. ucts. AS yet the shipments are all to Europe, but the time may come when the people of the United States will look to the Argentine to supplement the home supply of bread and meat.
 American methods have quite re- gently given the Argentine cattle rais- CTS moment of bewilderment from which they have not yet fully recover. ed. During the livestock show of last year the packing interests found a few head Of Hereford steers 10 their liking, and ran the auction price up to over five thousand dollars for each steer, worlds record in the price of beef. IL was an advertisement, costly in first outlay, but it has set all the cattle raisers of the Argentine in mo ton in the direction of better bred stock, and has given them an idea of just what is wanted by the packing houses. IL was an object lesson which will probably bring satisfactory results 10 both teacher and pupil, and it was an American idea.

Hlgh Hopes for Chicago.

Chicago is still talking excitedly in regard to the recent mayoralty election when both the Democratic and Repub- lican machines were defeated. Chica- go has voting by primaries, and the Democrats felt assured that nomina. ton meant election, and to make it as- sured, an outlay of S534 ,000 was used, according to one city paper, and yet ex mayor Harrison, their candidate, was defeated, and Professor Merriam, was elected by the Republicans, but not the machines choice. This gives hope that New York city may yet get a mayor and the State Senator whom the people desire.
 Here is his platform statement, iden- tifying himself with the "back to,the people,. movement now well started on the road to success:
 "The government of our cities is not as honest aS the people of our cities. Municipal affairs are not as intelligent ly and carefully conducted as the af- fairs of the citizens. City government is not as progressive as the citizens. Our governments are years behind the times and the people, and they must be brought up to date.
 "We have come to a time when great changes must be made in the conduct of our municipal affairs. Free govern ment cannot continue. If we are to be ruled by grafters, spoilsmen and spe- cial interests. Government by crooks is demoralizing; government by spoils- men is wasted and ineffi cient; govern ment by special interests is inconsist- ten and incompatible with the protec- ton and advancement of the general interests. We must drive out graft and grafters. We must break the yoke of the Spoilsmen, we must subordinate the special interests to the general in terest ol the city as a whole.
 know the present system of polit- cal piracy cannot endure. American cities are out to take the lead in the lead of the progressive column. We ought lo do our share of the task in solving the great problems of the mighty urpau communities, springing ap all ever the world
 My campaign for the Republican nomination for Mayor was a direct challenge To the political methods and results that have been generally ob- taiued in American cities. have fought the combination of graft, spells and special interests that has a stran. gle on our cities

FOR A NEW HIGH II

The plan OF the Board OF Esti-.
mate to move the fire house from
the property adjoining the high
school In State street to q location at
New Brunswick avenue and Fayette
street. and to move the city stables
to the outskirts Of the city, In order
that a new high school building may
be erected on the site now occupied
by these structures, Is an excellent
one. No more central location can
be found for a high school than the
plot now occupied by the building
named.
The present high school vas built
only a few years ago, but 1t already
has been outgrown and more room is
needed badly. No additions can be
added to the building without spoil
ing It's appearance. Perth Amboy
takes pride In her schools and wants
no botch work.
BY erecting a new high school on
the site OF the fire house, adequate
room could be puaxlded for the adj
vanced pupils and the present high
school building could be devoted en-
tirely to the high grades, which now
overcrowd the grammar school. The
school board is working with this
idea in view ana when IS plans ara
completed the city can rest assured
that 1t WIN have something to be
proud of.
The city stable, erected only a
| year or two ago, is . large brick
building, situated In the extreme
rear OF the property and could reaei-
lily be transformed into q gymnasium
and class rooms for manual training.
These things are necessary equip
mentg to a modern high school build
Ing. It Is to be hoped that the city
will . its way clear to do some
thing along thia line in a very short
TINS.

eliminating grade crossings.

eliminating grace CROSSINGS tie
shows that in the early days when
railroads were fret seeking permits
sion to operate their lines they dis
tinctly promised that they would
provide for bridges and passages
over and under the tracks. in order
that the highways shall not be
impeded thereby.
In one clause of the bond given by
the state granting the requests of
the railroads to maintain and opel-
ate their lines. according to MFR.
Whiting, it says: Eyes. you may do
all those things which our plain
citizen may not do, IL you will faith
fully promise TO construct and keep
in repair good and sufficient bridges
and passages over and under your
railroads where any public road.
street OF avenue shall cross the
same SO that public travel on the
said road shall not be impeded
thereby
In conclusion Mr.. whiting lays
emphasis on the great question Of
special privilege. He says that when
a factory belches forth noxions doors
or black SCOT, we make the factory
abate the nuisance at Its own ex-
pense. eff electric wires are a mem
ace" continues Mr.. Whiting, "they
must be protected or put under
ground at the expense of the owners.
If the farmers cattle become in.
fected with disease they must be.
killed without remuneration to him.
II the city grows populous and busy
in the vicinity Of your warehouse,
you must move away Or buy addi-
tional space for your loading and
unloading, in order that the streets
and sidewalks may be kept reason
ably free and open. For these things
you receive no subsidy, no donation,
no contribution from the state or
municipal treasury.
"If traffic ON public streets be-
comes impeded or imperiled be-
cause of the railway trains, the nuts
ance should be abated by the roads
themselves. To contribute to the ex-'
pense out of public money is to grant
a special privilege. Special priyi-
lege is wrong. 1t is the bane of
popular government"
New Jersey is rapidly becoming
one vast city. The last census shows
that it is growing more rapidly than
any other state In the east. Inc
people are coming out from New
York and settling in the northern
Of the state and the people from
AAAAaaaasl5Rza-ars Inksr.E..pettling IN
the southern end. New towns are
springing up in all directions and
what were once country roads are
becoming well built UP streets. This
means that all grade crossings IN the
state are q menaee and should be
abolished as quickly as posslble.
rhe legislature viii neglect its duty
if It does not take sone steps to
remedy this great evil. Mr.. Whiting
has made a strong case In favor OF
the railroads bearing the entire x
pense. His address at Summit Is an
important state paper. 1t cannot
help to have Its influence at the put
come OF this question.
