A HAPPY SOLUTION.

The long labors of the East Side Improvement Association seem at last to have been rewarded. The ac- tion, of the Common Council Monday night looked very like a rbusinesslike determination upon the part of that body to get rid of. the chief part of the. nuisance which has for long time afflicted the people of the Ninth and some other districts If the Board of Health will act with equal certainty to prevent a renewal of the overland odors a complete remedy will be afforded. The mayors ce- commentators comprise three fea- tures. He suggests the taking by agreement or condemnation of the mill rights attached to Berkshire pond, the removal of the sewage out lets to point further down the Pequonnock River and the dredging of the badly contaminated flats iE the neighborhood of the Berkshire dam. . Upon resolutions offered by AluerndH EduuOCh to SlNc cuSCI sto the mayors recommendations, com mittee was raised to consult with the owners of the mill rights and ascer- tain the value of the same. The same committee was empowered to secure estimates of the cost of doing the necessary dredging. The plan for sewer change is to be reported to the council 1atea
 With the mill privilege in the pos session of the city Berkshire pond can be maintained full of water at all times. It will become, as. the mayor says a playground for the people in winter, and an asset to the city all the year round.s
 A reading of the demands of the East Side Association indicates that there is no wide difference of view between the mayor, the Common Council and themselves respectins the best means of remedying the sew age nuisance. The overland nuisance is in the hands of the Health Board, which, it is believed will take a far sighted and patriotic view of its duty.

 Every now and then, when the gov ernment detectives succeed in over hauling . bunch of bunco operators, they report having found in their papers lists of suckers" to whom to send correspondence. Fortunately so far the detectives have kindly re- trained from publishing the names on these sucker lists. If they should 'ever make the publication, the pub- lie would be surprised and some at least of those named would be not only surprised, but extraordinarily mad.
 { That wrath, we may add, would reach clear into the office of the Cou- rant, for these get-rich-quick circu- lar letters come to one and another of the force of this paper almost as regularly as the letter carrier. How can they be headed off? Nobody seems as yet to' have found out the way Waste baskets get crowded,
 The explanation is that clerks sell the names of stockholders. however, little they may possess, of trustees, and, in banks, of depositoTs. It is said that in some towns as soon A6 a bank account grows to be worth the while the depositor gets letters from some firm of sharpers. Of course, he has been delivered for price; it is said that the prices for names range from 1 to 10 cents each. Be that as it may, it stands to reason that nobody is to be blamed if his name is found on a swindlers sheet of suckers, Find, first, whether he bit

 A DELEGATE CATCHER.

Amos Pinchot in a magazine dis cussion. points clearly to the delegate catching qualify of Taft's reciprocity treaty. The chief loser through re- ciprocity were the farmers who raise the great raw material of agriculture, as wheat, cattle and hogs. They are located for the most part in the states which are controlled by the insurgent Republicans. The chief gathers arc in the doubtful Republican states of the middle West and East, where manufactures are dominant. The South would have been little affected
 It is 'undeniables that the recipro- city treaty retained the duties on the things the people consume .or3 that free trade was given on the raw materials the manufacturers use. The Demo- crats in congress clearly saw this de- feet and sought to remedy it by put ting upon the free list the very arti- cles upon which high duties were maintained in the treaty.
 As MT. Pinchot says:
 The same facts which apply to beef on the hoof and dressed beef and wheat and flour. apply to schedule after schedule, of this extraordinary bin. The manufacturer gets his raw materials free at the expense of the farmer. and the consumer is dis cr--.zs-suscS agalnsr with a regularity that is almost ludicrous.
 Rye is free. but on rye flour there is a duty of fifty cents barrel.
 Oats free. Dat meal and rolled oats fifty cents per hundred pounds.
 Corn free. Corn meal twelve and one-half cents per hundred pounds.
 Hogs are free. Pork, ham and bacon one and one-quarter cents g pound.
 Sheep and lambs are free. Nut ton and lamb, one and one-quarter cents per pound.
 Practically. all the grains are free. and practically All products of grains in the forms used for foods, including all cereal foods. are dutiable.

tect her honor the woman declared abe

tire family, including his son, Porfrio
Diaz jr. 1t had been thought the jour-
ney to France will be made on an
ordinary steamer, but the French le-
cation, acting upon the request of the

The PLAN FOR IN
TERNATIONAL PEACE

MOHoNK LAKE, N. Y, May "a
The first announcement of the plan
and scope Of the ten million dollar
Carnegie endowment for international
peace, with the appointments Of di-
rectors of two of the divisions, was
made here today by DR.. Nicholas Muir
ray Butler in his address as the pre-
siding officer of the conference on in
ternational arbitration.
DIR. Butler also predicted with au-
thority," the establishment Of the
international court of arbitral justice
before the time of the third Hague
peace conference"
DR.. Butler said: "The trustees of
endowment have taken n broad view
of its aims and purposes. While they
do not overlook the value of the work
of propaganda, and intend to aid in
carrying it on, they believe the time
will come when the resources of mod
ern scientific methods and of modern
scholarship should be brought to bear
or the problem of international rela-
tions. They believe the leading jur-
lists and economists of the world
should be set at work in the service
of humanity to ascertain just what
have been, and are, legal and econo-
mist incidents of war and just what
legal and economic advantages are to
into n single group of friendly CO.
operative nations, bound together by IA
tie of judicial system resting on the
moral consciousness of mankind from
whose findings there can be no sue
cessful appeal. The plans of the trust
ees have been formulated with these

BEST IN
HISTORY.
Relations between Canada
and j. s. Best in
History

LONDON, May 24.-The dinner oi
the Pilgrims society last night, in
honor of the colonial premiers, was
historic because of the unexpected and
noteworthy plain speaking by Sir Will
frid Laurier, premier of Canada. Sir
Wilfrid in addressing the audience,
which was composed of many of the
great men of England, handled the an
nexation question without gloves. He
began by expressing amazement that
during his three days stay in England
he had heard SO many people of stand
ing voicing doubts concerning the de-
signs of the United States regarding
Canada
He scoffed at the idea of annexa-
ton being seriously considered ON
either side of the border. He express
&c in warm terms his admiration for
the people of the United States but
said that as much as he loved the
American people he loved Great Brit.
ain better.
Canada in sharing the continent
with the United States, he said, had
double interest in the treaty of arbi-
tration between the United States and
the United Kingdom and he exclaim-
ed dramatically, Il thank God that the
relations between the two peoples nev-
or were SO good as they are today"
The premier aroused enthusiasm
when he said Canada and the United
States proposed to continue to show to
the world that the two nations with
the longest bounary, extending from
ocean to ocean, are living in peace
and lantual respect without fortress,
soldier or gun, on either side of that
boundary. The last words of the Ca
Madam premier were almost drowned
in applause. 1--WE believe" he said,
that the day will come of an alliance
of all the lands springing from Eng
lands loins, insuring the peace Of the
world forever"
Lord Roberts presided at the din
ner.
