Howard Elliott, avs the new head of
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad system, has made a distinctly
more favorable impression on the gen
Grad public of New England than his
immediate predecessor did. 1t is to be
hoped that there viii be nothing to come
up which will cause the people of New
England to change their idea about him.
Elliott, for one thing, might try to keep
in close touch with the field in which
his road is operating in.

The immigration statistics for the
present year at the port of Boston show
decided increase in the number Of
people coming into the United States,
the month of September nearly doubling
the record of the same month for the
previous year, as did the record of the
month of July. A decided increase in
the number of immigrants generally
means there is to be a re-awakening
of industrial activity; so encouragement
may be felt by those who are engaged
in those industries.
