PROSPERITY STORIES AND HARTFORD

Why thousand families from various parts of New England should flock 10 Hartford because of the unwonted prosperity sup posed to he rife in that ely is hard to falhom. The city now has the prospect of caring for more families which are in want than ever before in its history. That may be one species Of prosperity, but it is a Nnl that most cities would seek to avoid if possible.
 Some of the newcomers, of course, will stay and become q part Of the capitals population; the re m.ir&cr will sooner or later go to other fields in search of the pros por.ty titny perhaps did not find in Hartford. No great good has bnyn done 10 either the residents of Hartford nor the majority of the n wccmcrs to that city.
 Who has been sending forth the stories of HartCord's prosperity we wonder? Such stories are not usually carried upon the press wires, and newspapers in other cities would bo m!iArH to publish stories Of the unusual prosperity Of another city - to most news papers other cities arc regarded as rivals if the stories got started by word of mouth or through letters they evidently were exaggerated.
