The House Did Well

The democratic house of repre- sentatives has to it's credit the re- jection of the senate's amendment to the metals schedule for the repeal of the Canadian reciprocity treaty There is, of course, no treaty. The legislation by congress on that sub ject was of no effect so that the treaty is doing neither good nor harm But there is an effective provision of that treaty admitting free print paper from Canada.
 So, the repeal of the treaty was asked for in order that that pro- vision might be rendered null. All this was sought for the advantage of the paper trust and no man within the last three years has had the hardihood to suggest that the paper trust was in need of any advantage.
 It's profits have been shown to be equal to the amount of the tariff protection under the Dingley and the Payne Aldrich laws, plus fair profit such as the Canadian manufacturers receive and still further. plus the diff ference in wages paid by the Ameri- can and Canadian mills, the differ ence being in favor of Canadian workmen. All this, it will be per ceived. was some profit
 As a revenue producer this tariff was absolutely useless. Having been imposed for no other purpose than to protect the paper trust against com petition, it was not expected that 1t would produce any revenue. It was intended on the other hand that there should be no revenue from that source. It was raised to a nicety to the point of keeping out Canadian and other products and it performed that function.
 The trust alone was benefited by it. It was the one piece of tariff legislation that could not be said 10 benefit American labor or the Ameri- can producer of raw material.
 This outrage in the name of pro lection has gone farther toward the discrediting of the protective system than all that has ever been spoken or written by tariff reformers or free traders since the tariff became a sub feet of discussion.

CHINESE DON'T LIKE PIANOS.

 Elm mployment Agent Ayers.

The fascination of an untrammeied life in New York had lured other Chinese servants .~sy from Western families WnO hal migrated with their retinue to New York, but John of the bankers family had remained faithful through two years of metropolitan temptations
 At last he gave notice and refused to tell why. Finally the manager of an employment agency offered a solution of Johns defection.
 Ut is because your little girl has got big enough to practice on the piano" he said. John can't stand that
 "A Chinese hates piano. It takes good deal to upset Chinese nerves. but a piano is capable of completing the job most effectually. Heretofore there has been little piano playing in your house; now that there Is a pros pect of several hours of practice every day John clears out
 We have that trouble with many Chinese servants. There are plenty of Western families in New York who would like Chinese help, but as soon as an otherwise willing servant learns that there is a piano in the house he declines the job"

Finances and Markets

 NEW YORK, June 12.-FOr absolute dullness and insignificance, today's stock market has seldom been equalei this year. The list dragged from the outset with the most active stocks fluctuating fractionally, but one or two reaching a spread of a point. At the end of three hours prices hardened and some improvement was noted, but the limit of apathy was reached in a final hour.
 Canadian Pacific was virtually the only stock to show any inclination whatever towards strength An opto- mistic statement by the head of the Great Northern as to conditions in the whole northwest had little or no ef- feet
 In the industrials Amalgamated Cop per, Tennessee Coal and Iron, Tennes- see Copper, Bethlehem Steel. American issues, rose one to two points, while Colorado Fuel fell back.
 Members of the board were less pes simiStic as whole, but none seemed willing to take on new cOmmitm ents pending the outcome of the money trust investigation, and the receipt of more definite crop advices. Most todays news was promising. Money conditions were marked by greater firmness though the offerings more than equaied the demand Bonds dull. and narrow total sales, par value, $1,7S5, ,000.

Our Resentment

We must rise to rebuke the Los Angeles Times for the flippant man. ner in which it deals with our efforts to raise the cOnvicts at Florence to a nobler and higher life If we have seemingly bestowed attentions and lavished Iuxuries upon thieves. mur- derers, burglars and fOrgers and have withheld these attentions and lux uries from law abiding citizens, the Times. if it is a student of the scrip lures, must know that we have a precedent in the case of the treat ment of the Prodigal Son for whom the fatted calf was killed while the elder son who had remained dutifully at home leading a useful and res pectable life was compelled all those years to feed himself on chuck steak
 We regret that the parable was not carried farther to the point of in forming us whether the treatment of the prodigal was successful or whether it would not have been bet ter if his father had fallen upon his neck with club and have continued his diet of husks
 But here is the ribaldry from the Times:
 Under the prison reform" regime of Gov Hunt of Arizona the incarcerated gentlemen who are sOjourning in the penitentiary merely because their ideas on the subject of personal and property rights differ from those en- tertained by a majority of their fel- w-citiZens are having the time of their lives
 The governors idea is that the convicts are deprived of that liberty for which their fathers, or somebody's fathers fought. not as d punishment for crime. but in order to enlarge their opportunities to uplft and en- noble their lives, and demonstrate to the world that the morally sani- tated consciousness of their selfhood can rise superior to their environ ments.
 These gentlemen appreciated the efforts of Gov. Hunt, and al their din- ners with him. as they finger over the wine and walnuts, their voices sound the refrain:
 For he's a jolly good fellow
 Which nobody can deny
 But there is fly in the amber of their content. The name of the i'm sect whom they strongly desire to swat is Thomas F. Weedin. He is mayor of Florence. He is vidently not a convert to the reform beati- tudes of Gov. Hunt. He coolly pro- poEes that the convicts shall be em-

FLATT FRY.

Two men. highly intoxicated, were walking home from their club, arm in arm, one night. when both tumbled simultaneously over some small Ob- structiOn on the sidewalk. One rolled to the right and landed in gutter while the other fell to the left and slid into a little trench that some wOrkmen had been digging and left unprotected. For some moments aft CT the fall dead silence reigned. and then the one on the left cried:
 T say, old chap, can't you give me a bit of lift?'
 And the man on the right called back: oh, you flatterer, New York Telegraph.

ployed in the construction of sewer. The conVicts are shocked at the pro- posal. They do not object to the physical labor, for their daily baseball amusements have hardened their muscles. They balk at the humilia- tion that will be inflicted upon them by such a degrading employment If the proposition had been to aid in laying the foundations of a church edifice they might have consented with composure if not with enthusi- asm. But a sewer? Surely no high spirited ex-porch climber or cattle abstracter could be expected to aid in the excavation of a sewer.

A minister of the gospel protests against the coinage of cents and half cents on the ground that they will usurp the places of coins of larger denomination in the contribution boxes. That is the pessimistic way of looking at it. The optimistic preacher would welcome the copper coins as displacers of trousers but tons and other disks of no value which are often used for contrlputloh purposes.

ONE MILLION SHAD FRY RELEASED
Sent Their Way the Sea From Johnstown Pond in Lyme Swan Of Hopefully Towards the Sound-Wil Re turn in Three Years-Grew We'll in Lyme Pond Since Spring.

The members of the fish and game commission released about one million shad fry from the retaining pond at Joshuatown, town of Lyme, Monday
 afternoon Last spring the com
 mission received from the United States government shad fry which were placed in the pond The fry thrived remarkably well and when they were released Monday afternoon
 they were large and healthy. They proceeded at once down the river on their way to the Sound. They will re- turn to the waters of their infancy in the course of three years to spawn. They will be then full grown and it to tempt the appetite of the most fas-
 tidious epieure. Perhaps it is just as well to sssy that not all will return. Thousands of them will have fallen victims to the vicissitudes, which be- set fish life. But enough will return to pay for the trouble of protecting them during the months of they fry hood. It is not known exactly where they go after leaving the Sound It is believed that they go to deep water a few latitudes further south. But this IS only a surmise. The scientists who have watched their migrations and habits are not in accord as to where the shad spend the three in- tervening years between the time they leave the protecting waters of Joshua

town and their return to the Con- nectiout river.
 The commission Is well pleased with the success of the work at the re- taining pond at Joshuatown. Formerly the United States government was quite generous in it's supply of shad fry to Connecticut, but owing to the demand made on 1t for southern wa ters 1t has not been able to furnish fry to this state for half a dozen years. , The present commission was able to induce the government to sup ply million shad last spring. The cost to the state was only that for transportation from Deep River, where the fry were left by the gov ernment. to Joshuatown, a matter of s or s4. The result is much more satisfactory thani if the commission were to attempt to hatch out fry in the hatchery on the Pennington river. It would cost the state about $l,0e0 to hatch out 100000 shad fry, while a million were secured from the national government at an expense of few dollars.
 The commissioners continue to re- ceive gratifying reports of the shoot ing this fall It is evident that the efforts which have been made to pro- tect, game have proven successful and that with a continuance of the care for a few years longer it may be req sonably expected that this state will be better state for game.

DRESS REHEARSAL FOR THE PARCELS POST
Connecticut Ppstmasters Are Notified
 of Postmaster Gsneral,s Plan.

The postoffce department is to have a dress rehearsal for inauguration of the parcels post on New Years day, according to information received at Connecticut postoffices. Christmas mail is to be handled with unprece- dented swiftness to make this dress rehearsal possible.
 The parcels post has some restrie- tions that the public does not gener- ally understand. Books are not ad- missible. Third class postage rates are still to be imposed on books. But aside from this the parcels post is open to practically every kind of merchan- disc that can be transported, inclnd- ing produce of the farm, garden, as well as factory products, provided of course. that such articles come within the size and weight limitations.
 Postmaster General Hitchcock says that the parcels post system will begin on January 1, efficiently and promptly. How long it will continue will depend on congressional appropriation.
