ANOTHER ASSAULT.

New Britain is, seemingly, rather unfortunate in the number of as- sauts upon women which take place with a regrettable regularity Monday evening there was another attack, Mrs Grace Calkins this time being the assailed. She was saved from probable injury by the timely arrival of policeman and residents of the street attracted by her screams.
 The motive, in this particular in- cident may have been robbery. Frightened by her first scream the assailant made an attempt to choke her into silence, and. if he had not been frightened away. might have done considerable damage, as the vic tim was nearly on the point of un- consciousness. At other times degen- crates have been thought guilty of pe- culiar actions. ranging from assaults upon women to mere remarks as they passed.
 It is time that such occasions were put stop to by some method. The police have succeeded in rounding mp one suspect and sending him to jail. Since his arrest there have been re- ports of untoward events. usually in the regions not far from Walnut Hill park, and we evidently have more than one misdoer to deal with The police have expressed intention of putting stop to the practices, al though they thought that they had already done so.. May they succeed, quickly it is an unhealthy state of affairs when unaccompanie women are not safe on the streets of the city after dark. whatever the mental pro- cess and the ultimate aim of the law breaker who commits the assault.

QUIGLEY TRIUMPH


 One George Quigley, erstwhile Mayor of New Britain, seems to be in a position to crack the big whip over the G. o. P. elephant in this city and make it do about as he pleases, fact which seems to have been demonstrat- ed at last evenings meeting when a "Quigley' slate was chosen to go from this city to the state convention. One conversant with local politics has but to look at the list George T. Kimball, Fife T. Kimball Eva S. Mitchell, Cornelius Dehm, August Bergstrom and William Quigley to realize affiliation of the delegates and the success of the new boss for the time, at least True Richard Covert met with no contest in his aspirations for the post of State Senator but this, as the Herald hinted last evening, had probably been agreed upon. Covert has won his way upward in the old local republican machine through his work in it's behalf and is none too &C., cepta ble to the ringmaster of the new regime. Campaigns of the past war rant this statement.
 Quigleys outfit, his machine has made no secret of the desire to gain ascendancy in local politics. an ofgani- zation was started immediately after the leader was beaten for Mayor by Paonessa last spring Evidently the fruits of victory have been awarded for the time being. Quigley could well afford to allow the Covert nomination. he prefers to be a power in the state convention rather than one in the leg islature A governor, senator and con- xressman must be picked, there is more of an opportunity to wield in- auence in larger matters here.
 It is whispered. probably with req ron. that Mir. Quigley's big stick will oe aliwned with that of John T. King, of sBrfdgeport, when the time comes ko select state candidates. The antipa- khy of MT. King to certain individuals vho have been the life of the old ma

THE COURANT "PLAYING THE
 ORCANn AGAIN

Doubtless the ancient and venera- ble Hartford Courant receives thrill of delight in an opportunity to again dub the Herald. democratic organ in its news columns in a resume of the chances of MT Spellaoy to achieve his ambition. the democratic nomina- tion for United States Senator, this morning. The Courant has prepared an article to prove that. MT Spellacy will be nominated apd, in doing so, has quoted recent words of ours to the effect that Lonergan Is popular In New Britain. We might resent being called an organ by anyone but the Courant. but are satisfied to allow the leaders of thought in the state news paper and republican circles of the Hartford journals desk to dub us what they will. Playing the organ is one of the pastimes of the contempor- aries, a pastime of which we must be the object unless we devoutly follow in the footsteps of those who should know and, knowing not presume.
 According to the same informant Mayor Paonessa and Ex Mayor Hal loran will cast their lots with Spellacy in the coming contest for the senator ial nomination. Possibly our two New Britain democrats will do just that. Possibly they have adopted the scheme as one of political expediency we are not prepared to state, we do not partake of their condolences nor do we attempt to dictate to them. Not withstanding Lonergan's popularity in New Britain is great, he is more popu- lar with the rank and file than is Spellacy. We cannot dictate to de- mocracy here, we are not under it's subsidy or pledged to the furtherance of it's plans. We are content to observe draw our conclusions and comment, politics owe us nothing nor may we further our business interests by be- coming an organ
 ss Meanwhile the Courant plays upon the organ as it is wont to play upon everything that suits it not. It is not our fault that the strains it evokes are sour and out of tune, it is the hand of the master that fails, not the alleged instrument.
 We are sorry, extremely sorry, to note in the Courant that some prom tnent democrats of the city are dis turbed at the Herald's comments. They have first given intimaton of their feelings to the Courant Shame upon them-why did they not consult their organ If organ it is? Why did they not run to the Herald with their troubles? We might have held their hands-might have.

Congress has little to fear, at present at least, from political revolt over the tariff. But the bonus proposition is close to everyone, is familiar to all and acceptable to the majority.

Train service was restored on the Southern railway following renioval of most troops which had been doing guard duty in the Spencer and Salis- bury, N. C., and Princeton, Ind, yards.
