THE CONNECTICUT SENATE.

Since a majority of the senators OF
Connecticut voted for a Sunday license
law. the people of more than one state
have looked this way in anazement
and wondered if that was a fair rep
resentation of the moral sense in the
Constitution state.
The Hartford Courant gives another
picture of our honorable senators
which must help us the better to I'M
derstand the sense of dignity and
chivalry which possesses this high
political body, when 1T says the wo-
mems suffrage bill got through the
senate by a vote of less than ma
jority Of the senators and amid laugh
ter and tests of those who did vote for
it. This is a convincing array. and it
lconvincingIy demonstrates that the
suffrage is not wanted at present in
this state
No one regarded the recommends
ton OF Governor Baldwin for limited
suffrage to women upon the old ground
that there should be no taxation with
out representation as a jest or joke
but 20 the contrary il was commended
by some of the ablest papers in the
country.
Senators who can gibe and jeer hon.
est women. vote for an open bar on
Sunday and ignore the welfare of the
people are not on the same level as the
senators of other days used to be.

The TRUSTS THAT cRAWLED
UNDER THE ORANGES.

The Springfield Republican points
out mat the three great trusts who
have been delighted to have the Gran
gers OF the country take decided action
against the ratification of the treaty
~ reciprocity with Canada, are the
lumber. wool. and pulp combinations.
In commenting upon recent revela-
tons, the Springfield Republican says:
The backbone Of the farmers anti
reciprocity campaign seems to be the
View York law firm which was before
the senate finance committee Wednes-
day and which admits that up to the
present time expenses exceed receipts
by some $4,000. There has seldom
been a more transparent piece of
ounkum than the great farmers agita e.
lion against the chance TO trade with
Canada a little more freely"
What the good Of the whole country
requires is the extension OF trade and
an increase OF competition to break up
the nonopolies which extort excessive
profits from the people.
The injury to the farmers is not
likely TO prove to be one half as seri-
rus as has been alleged by those OF
larger interests who are delighted by
the support they have won.

Colonel Roosevelt spoke at Grants

regrets that the Spanish American
war In which he took part was only

ninistration stands. and said we could
not submit to srbitrate insults to our
honor any more than a man could

The spirit Of these two leaders on

A CONDITION.

Chatham, Ont, must be an attrac-
tive and thrifty place when there are
not sufficient tenements to house the
people who wish to reside there. A
despatch from this Canadian town
says:
The house famine has reached such
an acute stage in this city that vacant
lots are renting for high prices on
the north side where newcomers are
erecting tents TO live in till such time
as they may be able to secure homes.
Many families have already establish
ed themselves in tents in North Cha
tham.'
The Ottawa Citizen. commenting up
on the situation in Chatham. says:
AN interesting light on the situation
is revealed by the statement that va
cant lots. of which there appears TO
be no scarcity. are renting for high
prices In other words, the owners of
vacant lots not being taxed as they
should be. are content To- keep these
lots vacant until somebody with more
public spirit, or with a keener appre-
citation of the value of such an in
vestment. is willing to pay a high
price for such land and erect dwell
ings thereon. Chatham today presents
a splendid Illustration of a system
which will render Improbable the
holding of land. needed for dwellings,

GREAT NORTHERN MAY TAKE

Significance Attached to Execution OF
= 100000 First and Refunding Mort
gage.

St Paul, May 31.-A move that IS
strongly suggestive here of railroad
operations on the scale of the NORTH
ern Securities company was announced
by J. ]. Hill, chairman of the Great
Northern Railway company, TO-DAY,
when in typewriter statement ne
announced the execution of q $600,000,-
600 first and refunding mortgage to
secure bonds for. the Great Northern
and Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railroads.
The issue of $500, 100000 in. bonds
by the Great Northern as announced
by Chairman j. J. Hill means that
number of large projects are in pros
pect, according to a prominent railroad
official who by reason of his Intimate
knowledge of affairs declined to allow
his name to be used.
First, it means the taking up OF
1890, 900 900 of gold bonds of the Great
Northern, including 1922, 100000 Ia
bonds of the Burlington road for which
the Great Northern is responsible
According to this official, it also
means that the Great Northern viii
take over the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad separating it from the
Northern Pacific.
In view of the recent opinions of the
United States supreme court in defin;
ing reasonable restraint" it is though
that merger of the Great Northern
and the Burlington railroads will be
decided legal merger.
