NELSON ". ALPRICH.

Thirty years experience as mem Der of the senate of the United States cannot be had without placing a man In especially close touch with the man. ner in which the affairs of a nation are conducted. Such was the record established by the late Nelson w. Aldrich, and such gave him a wonder full insight into the business of run ming the government and permitted him to become au influential mem Der of the upper house. He was one of the active members and as is the case in most every undertaking that activity made it impossible for him to satisfy everyone. It was his de- votion to what was termed the big in- terests which terminated his services several years ago. He was not a weathercock, which revolved with ev- cry breeze for the development of pop ularity and while that resulted in the opposition which caused his retirement from political life, it did not detract from his contributions in the service of his country.
 The constructive element of his work cannot be overlooked and thore can be no question that he had 8 most i'm portant influence in the promotion and development of an improved currency system though a change in administra- ton prevented the enactment into leg islation of the recommendations made under his name. It Is a well known fact that many of the features of the AIdrich plan have been found worthy of being made law.
 It is not to be forgotten that MT. Adrich declared the government was being extravagantly conducted and that it was possible to save $100, ,0O0, 900 a year. The wisdom of following this particular bit of advice has not been fully appreciated, but it is not too much to presume that 1t may yet re- suit in the adoption of business meth pds in the conduct of the government.

COSTLY REVISION.

At a time when it is thoroughly convinced of the need of economy and when efforts are being devoted to keeping down the expenses of the state and new methods of taxation are be- ing devised for the meeting of the necessary expenditures, the general as- sembly must recognize the need of giv- fng careful thought to the proposition of revising the statutes of Connecticut. It is a matter which 1t would appear might be classed with a number of others and deferred on the ground that no harm would result from allowing 1t to lay over for future consideration.
 To revise the statutes of the state and bring them together in one up-to- date volume 1t is proposed to name Q committee of six and to eXpend $42,g00 for the work. It is a recognized fact that such work must be carefully and thoroughly done and that the ex- penditure of money for any such pur- pose without such a result would not only be a waste of time, but a waste of money, yet s42,00O is a sum which berry bush and it would appear that the opportunity is here afforded for the curtailing of expenses.
 If on the other hand it is consid- cred advisable that the revision be made at this time before there is any larger accumulation of laws, isn't it a good time to apply the policy of retrenchment to this revision as well as to some other business matters :? It is not too much to presume that Connecticut has men who have the ability and the time who would be glad to do the work for a much less sum, and such being the case, why not cut out the waste?

rreatinn Missionaries Well.

''The Turks so far have treated all the foreign missionaries and business people very handsomely" writes the Rev. Dr. T. R. Hodgson a British mis- sionary from Constantinople, describ- ing the state of affairs in the Turkish capital. He continues:
 We are perfectly well, comfortable, and happy-so far as circumstances will allow. Our most sincere recogni- tion is due to the courtesy of the au- thorities here; the Turks not only go out of their way to be kind to us, but have shown a deEcacy of feeling which does credit to their humanity.
 Order has been strictly maintained in this great city, and we and our peo- pie have suffered not the slightest mo- lestation or trouble. Our work pro- ceeds as usual. We do not know what day may bring forth, but in the meantime our friends should realize that we are really well and contended, and that our confidence in the author tiles has been fully justified by the fact that our doors have not been closed for single day."

and before the deficiencies could be made good, Przemysl was invested anew.
 At this period the situation in North Poland made it necessary for us to withdraw our flank in Galicia. Dur ing the ten days at our disposal the transport of ammunition took first place. The question of provisioning the fortress appearing at that time to be a secondary natter when eventu- ally food supplies were despatched to PrzemySl it was too late.
 During the first days of the invest ment, in November, General kus- manek took stock of the available quantity of foodstuffs, and drew up a scale of rations. He took great care. that neither officers nor men should get more than the minimum of every thing. For breakfast they had only tea, for their midday meal small piece of meat and half a pound Of bread, and in the evening tea again with some bread. To add to the meat supply thousands of horses were slaughtered, which was all the more necessary on account of the shortage in fodder. Later on this minimum was further reduced so that the men of the garrison were on almost star vation diet for the last two months of the siege.
 Tt has been said in some quarters that flying machines and dirigibles might have been used in bringing in supplies, but this idea was excluded from the beginning Such flour or meat as could have been thus brought would only have suff1ced a few hun dred men for few days, and to have made any appreciable difference all the aeroplanes and dirigibles of the world would have had to have been employed daily.
 "The commander of the fortress vetoed the idea that certain members of the garrison should received food by this means whilst the rest put up with the rations available in the for tress. Even the game shot by some of the officers was not allowed to be brought in, but was cooked and eaten in the hunting field. The aeroplanes only brought in letters, medicines, and material for the wireless telegraphy. The food supply grew daily more and more scanty, until on the morning of the 22nd there was not a particle of bread in stores, not a pound of meat or flour available, so that the com

THE FRANK CASE,

As far as relief from the United States supreme court is concerned the decision of that body relative to the appeal in the Frank case makes it evil dent that there can be none. It is a divided opinion, but with the majority against the petitioner in holding that he was not deprived of due process of law by the action taken in keeping him from the courtroom while the yer dict was being announced.
 With characteristic persistency, how ever, those who are making a fight for the saving of Franks life are not dis couraged and while their only hope now lies in an appeal to the Georgia prison commission for a pardon or in clemency through action of the gov ernor, those avenues will be exhausted before the effort is abandoned. The chance for review of the case by the new governor of Georgia will also be afforded.
 The majority decision of the high est court in the land exhausts court procedure, but it does not remove the chance to bring to bear all the influence possible. including the minority de- cision of the supreme court in behalf of the accused on the ground of req sonable doubt. Thus far the action of the Georgia courts has been upheld and little weight is given to the claim of mob rule before the trial court. It is case where greater effort has been made than in most cases for the pro- lection of the rights of the prisoner and If there is interference in his behalf by those who now alone have the power it will be solely on the grounds of preventing the possibility of an injustice being done and made irreparable if the death sentence is carried out.

Connecticut Belgian Relief Work.

MT. Editor: The Connecticut Com mittee for Belgian Relief, which was formed a few weeks ago, is now or ganized and is preparing to canvass the State. The Hon. Simeon B. Bald win of New Haven has accepted the presidency of the committee; MT. An son T. McCook of 50 State Street, Hartford, has been chosen secretary and MT. Charles c. Russ of the Hart ford Trust Company, treasurer.
 The committee hopes to be able to raise S100,000 in order to pay half of the expense of loading a ship with provisions to be sent to Belgium, the International Commission for Relief in Belgium having agreed to duplicate the Connecticut contributions, dollar for dollar. Personal letters will be sent out before long asking for sub- scriptions- In the meantime the Com mittee will appreciate it, if you will make it known to your readers that all who desire to give to Belgian relief will have their contributions counted as helping to load the Connecticut ship, if they will send them to MT. Russ, of the Hartford Trust Compsny. Believe us
 Yours Very Tru1sy

mander of the fortress decided to sur render.
 'INhe sortie above referred to had no effect whatever, but soon after this the Russian besieging army began a violent attack from the north famished and exhausted garrison still possessed. How nour poor soldiers could bear the brunt of these attacks is a mystery, but General Tamassy's Honveds sue ceeded in repulsing them. These weak and famished soldiers had courage and enthusiasm enough to face the onslaught of the healthy, well-fed Russians and succeeded in repulsing them from beneath the fortress. True, this was their last effort.
 After this battle, which lasted seven hours, General Kusmanek and his staff saw that another sortie was impossible, the investing ring being too strong for even a well-fed army to break through

the requirements and compete with the vessels of other nations. The stipula- dons of the bill are such as to make it impossible to comply, as to wages and added luxuries, and show a profit. It places them on an unequal basis with the vessels under other flags engaged in the same kind of business and operating between the same ports, for it would be suicidal to expect that the shippers would be willing to meet a higher transportation cost simply because that line was providing bet ter working conditions for its crew.
 It is radical effort at regulation which exceeds all other attempts in this or other countries and the action of the Pacific company is only what can be anticipated from others. In- stead of building up a merchant ma- rine 1t is killing 1t.

A DETRIMENTAL ACT.

Ever since the seamen's act was passed by the last congress, as well as before, there has been pointed out the various effects that 1t can be expected to have. It has always been looked upon as having provisions which are tnimica1 to shipping and the increase of the American flag on the high seas. it contains violations of treaty rights and was a measure passed to satisfy the demands of the Seamen's union.
 While the opposition to the bill both before and after 1t was passed was because of apparent results something more than fears have been expressed by the Pacific Mail Steamship com pany which has announced that it will cancel all it's sailings after the second of November, two days before the new bill goes into effect.

JUST AS EXPECTED.

Even after an investigation by the commander of an American warship nothing has developed from the wild story about Japan establishing a naval base at Turtle bay on the coast of Lower California It was as ground less as it was anticipated to be. Japan is there for the sole purpose of sal vaging or floating the stranded cruiser Asama and has no larger number en- gagged in such work than is reason able.
 Just how Japan looks upon this at tempt to spread g. wrong story and create an incorrect impression of its operations is to be gained from the or der that has been issued to all it's vessels in the eastern part of the Pa cif1c to return home except those which are needed in the work at Tur- tie bay.
 The investigation has shown just what it was believed was the reason for the Japanese being at that point. but not without lot of harmful publicity. The government has simply substan- tiated it's inference and has not, of course, raised any feeling of un- frfendliness with the Japanese but it might with good results expend some effort in running to earth the source of such unsupported stories as those which wrongly accused a nation with which this country is at peace and on good terms. It was a reckless handling of a matter involving inter national difficulties which can do no possible good and unless such yellow stories" can be based upon actual facts they should be suppressed. Japan knows our attitude towards foreign invasion of this continent and it is respecting it,

Russian General Dying.

The retirement of General Russky, one of Russia's most distinguished military leaders, is announced. The General has been suffering for some time from cancer, and only continued so long in his command through a high patriotic sense of duty.
 General Russky made his mark early in the war by his magnificent conduct of the Galician campaign, taking Lemberg and defeating the combined Austro- German armies. Latterly, he has been in charge of the Russian forces around Przasnysz and is largely responsible for the Russian successes there. The Emperor ac- cepted Russky's resignation with an official rescript expressing his regret and appointing Russky a member of the Council of Empire.
 The state of Russ11y's health is said to very precarious, and it is not ex- pected that he willy be able to leave his bed again.
