a'-sz0-~ one There was a time when all the parks were in the hands of this department, but some how the arrangement did not work out right and afterwards all the parks, except Walnut Hill, which is governed by a special act, were placed in the hands of the board of public works. The latter department has now grown to such proportions and has so much to do that the members, presumably are not at all displeased at the north end park being placed in the hands of the park commissioners, and it seems as if it would be a wise move to have all the parks placed under the man. agement of the same department. The fact that a similar arrangement did not work out we'll before is no reason why it would not operate to good advantage now. In the first place it was only recently that any serious attention was given the de- velopment of the park system. This was no fault of the park commission CTS, because the city did not make suf- hcient appropriations to permit of any park work being done It was only few years ago that the city began to appropriate money for Wal
 
 pended there up to that time was the revenue which came from the Erwin fund. It is pretty generally admitted that New Britain ought to develop it's park system, and if it is going to be done properly it will have to be done in accordance with some specific plan and this can be done best by a de- partment which has no other work to do than by department that has so much work as to keep it busy with out anything else to take it's time. The smaller parks about the city are not In as good condition as they might be, except Central and the south end parks, which are kept in nice shape. The park which was fixed up few years ago at the junction of Burritt and Broad streets has apparently never been touched since and now looks like a place devoid of friends, Where vagrant cattle are wont to graze and boys to play ball. It would seem as if such spots might be kept. in good condition, tree or two plant ed there and a flower bed would tend to set off it's beauty. Nowadays when the city is expending so much on the outskirts for better roads, the sur round1ngs may also be given atten-: tlon, so that the prospective home; seeker may be favorably impressed and the man already upon the ground induced to bestow as much care on his own place as possible. The ques- ton is not one to occasion any dis pute, but one on which the council may we'll unite and give it's best thought. - Under a proper system this work can be done without friction hv the park commissioners and the city ha hat fe.

skilled labor we make them for less money There were a number of people who did not know this until the Flu ropean war broke out and the Courant does not seem to know it yet, but when shipping ceased because of fear of unfriendly interference on the ocean we found that business had been injured here because of the loss of the foreign trade and that 1t was being further injured by the inability tain from abroad the materials he needs in the making of his own goods This is the condition today and it must be apparent to every one willing to see that there is not as much need of protection now as there was when our industries were being built up.
 This does not mean that there shall be free trade, because we couldn't have that if we wanted it. The new tariff act has reduced the duties on many articles but we have a large foreign trade which is posi- tive proof that the American manu- facturer has not been injured but that he is underselling his foreign competitor. There does not seem to be any dispute about it and We do not see any reason for one either. The Courant knows the condition as well as any one, but is sacrificing facts for politics. A political campaisn Is on and as a more or less noted states man said after the war had been over for quarter of a century that there may be one more victory in the bloody shirt, the Courant thinks that there may also be one more victory in the tariff of a long time ago, which did it's work and made room for the new conditions which greedy politicians do not want to recognize at present.

Observations made during sum
MGR session of Congress seem to ae-
ouaint one with the true inwardness
of things much more wildly than
those made during the winter ses-
sions, says the National Magazine.
Sweltering in his hotel one torrio
evening, a prominent leader was be-
moaning his lot. Only few miles
distant q delightful summer home
awaited his coming. but alas-he was
detained here to look after the eau
ems. Yet John Kern. senator from
Indiana, had no intention of hooking
TACK from duty. 1t was a humid
evening and the perspiration stood
in beads on his broad brow, and how
could a human senator be expected
to forget the home of his heart, annie
the Virginia mountains? Here his
| father was born, and in emigratins
to the West, the elder Kern dreamed
of the time when he might return ant
own the land which so greatly ant
| Wonderfully figured in the pictures 0
boyhood. His wishes were more thai
fulfilled, for he spent many happ!
days at the old home during the sun
set of life.
Senator Kern is known as tru
Hoosier Like many Indianans hi
forefathers came from Virginia t
i Kentucky and thence to Ohio. Wit
his old home town of Kokorno ar
associated stirring memories of you'll
