A newspaper. which by turns is filled with foolish hope and equally foolish despair when it discusses city prob lems. sees in the appointment of an engineer of the New Haven Railroad "a revolution in the street affairs of the city.'' It asserts this appointment means that the street department will be taken out of politics, of which there is absolutely no eyide4eegs The New Haven railroad, from whose employ 1nent the appointee is taken, has al- ways been in politics, and recently has been in them deeper than ever. Mr.
 Terry's political sponsor, has. some times been in politics. but recently has dipped in deeper as shown by his contribution of s3,171 to the expenses of the last municipal campaign. The new control is also interested in rail- roads, and there is therefore no par tfcular occasion for congratulation In Ffhe circumstance that a railroad en- gfneer has been selected to have charge of the streets of Bridgeport, in which the railroad, the trolley com- pany and the other public service cor porations have such a large interest.

THE MEEKEST MAN IS DISCOVERED IN NEW HAVEN

 Sec. l. Every city and borough shall be liable for all injuries to per sson or property including injuries -causing death, when such injuries are SScaused by any act of violence of any

IS THIS THE KIND OF A REVOLUTION THAT
 OUGHT TO MAKE THE CITIZENS JOYFUL?

son for changing its prediction atti- tude, which was that a combination of the offices of city engineer and di- rector of public works under one man, selected by the new regime. would very likely prove much more satisfactory to the public service corporations that do business in Bridgeport, than to the citizens who pay the municipal bills.
 The selection of railroad engineer to exercise this dual control of the streets does not make the outlook more cheerful.
 At least the consolidation of the of fees is not accomplished, and cannot be until a charter amendment has been secured, not to become operative un- til submitted to the people-and cer- tainly will not go through the legisla- ture without a referendum, if a Dem oeratic delegation goes to that body next fall, as seems probable.
 It is not remembered that the Post regarded the appointment of rail- road engineer to place, by the Public Utilities Commission. as a particularly joyous occasion.
 Therefore let jubilation now be de- ferred.

ing the public peace.
 The matter is not likely to come to issue, for the manager of the Hy- perion has announced, in an open letter. that he will not bring suit for recovery, although his loss is $1,0O0. He makes, in fact an apology to the student body-a deep apology-in which he offers restitution to any student whoSe clothing was injured by water from the hose which the stage hands used to repel the rioters, being frightened
 In short Manager Eldredge extends an implied invitation to the students to wreck his theatre anytime, if only they will continue to patronize it. This humility upon his part is not impossibly a reflection of the threats of boycotting which have been free ly made in the New Haven newspa- pers. though boycotting is as much against the laws of Connecticut as rioting, and divers striking workmen have been imprisoned by courts sitting in New Haven if we mistake not-for both of those offenses. Moses can no longer be regarded as the meekest man. That distinc- tion belongs to Manager Eldredge.

 Trevelga Beach, St. Colum Minor, about two miles from Newquay. and there set out to climb one of the high cliffs, which forms a feature of the North Cornwall coast line.
 MT. Swinstain had ascended the cliff
 to q considerable height when his nerve apparenetly failed him and he
 was unable to proceed either up or down. His friends endeavored to as
 sist him, but, finding that portions of the cliff fell away as they were try ing to reach him. they were compelled to abandon the attempt.
 A message was sent to the nearest house asking for assistance, and from there s telephone message was sent to the Newquay coast guards asking for
 aid Chief Officer Hunt and Goa st Guard A. Noad hurried off in a tsXicab in response to the message, carrying
 with them cliff ropes and appliances for rescue

CRIME DOES NOT

Dublin, May -(Special.)-There is very little crime in this country except in the Ulster province, and that Is believed to be due to the machnations of tory politicians who have been egging on the lawless element of the orange organiza- ton to deeds of violence with a view of forestallng home rule.
 It Is the custom in this country to pre- sent white gloves to judges on the cir cult in courts where no criminal cases are on the calendar.
 White gloves were presented to Judge) Law Smith by Sheriff Halliday at the opening of Limerick city quarter sessions to mark the fact that no criminal case was listed for hearing.
 County Judge Curran. on receiving white gloves at Tullamore quarter ses- sions, said it was a happy state of af- fairs to find blank calendars both at Birr and Tullamore. He hoped the county would long continue as it was at present.
 In presenting Judge Curran with white gloves at the Birr quarter sessions the stib-sheriff remarked that he had had a similar duty to perform at Tuilamore. His honor said one pair was sufficient for one county; it was the custom to give
