so many or these female 1ncendlar1eS do so thorough a job and yet get | away.-Waterbury American.
 The Derby police could not do bet | ter than to turn their attention to some of the foul mouthed gangs, | which make a specially of hanging l round street corners and insulting passers by especially if they are ac- companied by women. Prompt and drastic action by the police in some exceptionally offensive case of insult would have a most beneficial effect upon the rest of the thugs, who an noy men and women on the public
 streets.-Ansonia Sentinel
 Judge O'Meara, of the New Haven l city court, plans to hold court next l Sunday unless lookup conditions in l that city are remedied. The plan IS 1 an excellent one and should be carried 1 out in every place where minor courts l are in existence. Keeping prisoners 1 looked up in stuffy quarters, especially 1 in the summer season, Is other than humane to say the least. As rule 1 the cases are not important and can l be disposed of in few minutes

 New Haven rumors have 1t that Governor Baldwin intimated to Con- gressman Reilly that an alliance would not be unacceptable, with Baldwin to be named for senator and Reilly for governor. But the astute | congressman from the third district was not in the chestnut pulling bus
 mess in that way. He has no hank ering at this time to run for gover nor. He will seek a renomination l for congress in his district and is
 pretty sure to get it-Bridgeport Post.
 Just notice the persons you meet on
 the streets of Meriden who wear 1 glasses. A great many more people you know ought to wear them. Meas l uremen of human eyes dem monstrate 1 that there is probably no such thing l in the world as an absolutely perfect 1 eye. That would be miracle which ] nature with all her infinite ingenuity l has never performed. No human face 1 among all the worlds sixteen hum l dred million may be held perfect, either artistically or physiologically. 1 -Meriden Journal.
 Chicago jury, having accepted
 the evidence that James B. Wilson, I conductor on the Baltimore and 1 Ohio. had been forced to work sixty | three out of seventy-two hours and l received disabling spinal injury l from a switching engine because he ] was all worn out, gave MT. Wilson
 s75,oo for his injuries. If the jury is
 right in it's finding of fact, most peo- 1 pie will say that it is right in the l amount of damages. To overwork l railroad employees is as much crime against the public as it is against the | men.-Waterbury American.
 The voters of Uncle Joe Cannon's l Danville district can be relied upon to 1 administer the proper rebuke to the mistaken politician, who proposes to retire the veteran statesman from 1 public life because he is mo longer | in touch with the young They 1 know better. It is admitted that 1 Uncle Joe is not acquainted with the 1 virtues of the uplift, the recall and the 1 initiative and referendum. He is 1 neither socialist nor radical, but when anyone insinuates that Uncle Joe's spirit is bent and battered by the as- sault of years he knows not whereof | he speaks-Ansonia Sentinel.
 There Is always tendency to haste 1 in arriving at the totals of Fourth of 1 July casualties. The best figures now l obtainable, namely, thirteen dead and | 243 injured are by no means final. | The number of injured may be ap- proximately correct, though we may | expect even that, and surely the num- l Der of deaths, to be increased in the more complete figures annually com- piled by the Journal of the American Medical association. But even allow l ing for an increase of ten per cent l in both the dead and injured, We ap- parently have a very encouraging re- duction from even the low figures of l last year-New Haven Register. Facts are numerous enough to | warrant the positive statement that
 the present Hull in business is merely temporary and will soon give way to 1 rush and activity. It is not neces-
 sary to go far to find plenty of evil l dence of faith in the immediate fu~ ture. In New Britain alone big
 plans are made for handling the bus | mess that is anticipated. The Stan
 ley Works has just let the contract
 to a Boston firm for factory build l ing to cost $1OO,000. It will be en- 1 tirely of concrete, two hundred feet l long and sixty feet wide. This con- cern Is also erecting a large plant in l Chicago and getting ready one for 1 Canada Other concerns in New ! Britain have architects at work on l plans for new factory buildings. And,
