 There is no danger Of the states ch heapening human life by adhering to capital punishment. Indeed it is just the opposite and 1t is the state which holds human life SO high that of its sacredness. Therefore the state punishes with death, and is bound so 10 punish, those very persons who ae not accept it's valuation. who do not hold life high and who seek to cheap en it-murderers.-MHn Herald. It isn't often that the writers of abusive letters to the President-and there must be many of them-Are dig nined by prosecution. It Is an off, fenee which Is discouraged most by neglect. A Polish editor of New York hes just been arrested on this account. His case must have been especially bad. We hope his punishment will discourage others rather than remind them of something they wouldn't otherwise have thought of.=water- bury American.
 New Haven Is trying to find out why the owners of property at Court ton at S177,oo0. should think 1t worth S235,0o0 when 1t Is mentioned as a site for new city han The papers and the public are quite earnest about | 1t and are saying that the city does ! not want to be forced to build a new city hall now when 1t Is. not needed, to please as set of politicians. New Haven will have to be watchful, then. Waterbury Republican.
 Already Canada has in Europe a fighting force greater than Yelling ton commanded at Waterloo and as | large as the British had in South Africa at any time during the Boer uprising. The plans of the military authorities are to enlist and put in another 50,00o. making in one years time Canadian army of 1000 men. I In Canada enlistment is greater now than at any period of the war. The wild enthusiasm of the early stages of the war has been replaced by dogged determination to see the light through to the bitter end.- New Haven Union.

 One defect in the jitney scheme
 that is often enough brought to at.
 tention of late is the lack of finan-
 cial responsibility Of the owner, as
 rule. This gives him an unfair ad. vantage in competition with othel common carriers that are held tt strict accountability in case of acciden
 to passengers. The trolley and thu railroad cannot escape. The court,
 see to it that they settle for such ac. cidentS as occur on their lines. A present the jitney is free from suci obligations and the expense attached thereto. That is unfortunate for thos, unlucky enough to be in a jitney crasi and constitutes discrimination agains
 the carriers who are obliged to settle
 This is a situation that cannot in con.
 sistency last long.-Bristol Press.
 Some time ago a committee wal appointed by the mayor to investi gate the telephone rates. This com.
 mittee has not done anything so fal
 in regard to the matter. It seems tt
 be the general opinion that ther,
 should be cheaper telephone rates
 One of the chief 'kicks" seems to bt
 against the rates for toll line use
 ThdS is matter which has beer
 taken up in many other places ana
 should be looked into in this city
 There was a great agitation in Nev
 York State against the telephon,
 rates, and, after a long fight, bette
 terms were given to the users. I
 seems that the charge of fifteen cent
 for personal call to Hartford is ex
 cessive. Other rates are about ol
 the same scale, and the matter shoul, be given attention. The telephon
 rates are under consideration in othe
 places and 1t would be a good ide; If representatives from the variou
 cities in the state got together ant
 looked into +he uuestion.-New Britai,
