NY.1STBLE goviu'innont," which has so long doinin- ated city, state and even national government, is being thoroughly exposed by the probe of the wreck of the New Haven railroad. A story, shameful and scandalous, has been related by former .President Mellen, the story of a breach of trust by the avaricious multi-millionaire kings of finance, the betrayal and ruin of thousands of New Mug- land investors in the successful eflort ol adding still more wasiiinotox, mv an.Tho millions to the unwieldy hordes of the barons of Wall 'national capital' awaited today tho Street, I coming or Theodore Housdvolt. 1 1 In Sineq the late .7.

The Westchester railroad, ouly twenty-six miles in length, was unloaded on the New Haven for $:r,000.000, and Tannnanv chiefs were bribed in the deal for the fran chise with "duo bills" for $1,200,000, redeemed by Mellen later. Over a thousand newspapers were on the payroll. $300,000 was loaned to the owner of the Boston Herald for its support, and the Boston Republic, owned bv the mavor of Boston, was financed. In 15)12, $100,000 of New Haven money was given to the republican campaign fund. The New Haven deals have tainted with corruption all New England and left a once prosperous, dividend-paying property a mere wreck, burdened with numerous money losing branches. Its history is more or less tho history of many railroads, and the exposures, the loss of public con fidence in the so-called captains of industry, who have betrayed their investors, accounts in no small degree 'rjCAl the present financial stringency and business unrest. ntnL (.'ailed by any other high-sounding title you please, the New Haven transaction is nothing more nor less than rob bery upon a million dollar scale a huge burglary tar woi-si than those that fill our prisons', because without the motive of necessity; a betrayal of trust more heinous than tiny of those committed by the wearers ot convict stripes be cause the victims number hundreds of thousands, and avarice was the sole motive; an act of moral turpitude far greater than those our pulpits thunder against because tt entailed the corruption of the government and of the peo ple themselves. . Tho sums the swindlers stole will be charged up against the property and the people be asked to pay rates based upon the fraudulent investment The people are not only corrupted and swindled, but must pay interest on the money they were swindled out of, and which was paid out for their corruption. Such railroad financiering can have but one logical out come government ownership and operation of railroads. Any other solution is but a premium upon robbery. leaders lu culture To dollxcr hi lecture Is tho primary object ot Colonel Itoosovelt'a Mult and Hclmt lists awaited with ureal liitiret tho story of his recent odorallo'i lu South Auiorlrni Willi ocpially ns much Interest politician of all par tie awaited tho outcome of tl:i con ference of party leader hi which Urn former president will participate.

The desire to turn back the hands of the clock to the snuffling hypocricy of Oliver Cromwell's time is very strong. If people won't be good, they must be made good by law, even if it is necessary to calf out the militia tt la Governor West, to do it. The general assembly believes that Saturday should be made a half holiday in order to prepare for the Sabbath observance. Games and sport of all kinds should be for bidden upon a Sunday, particularly the wicked game of baseball. Excursions, picnics and fishing trips must be cut out. The Sunday newspaper, creature of Satan as it is, must be suppressed. Schools should not begin until Mon day noon, so pupils will not have to study Sunday. There is certainly a goody-good time coining. But not content to return to puritanism, the assembly has barkened back to the "no popery" of the days of tlie last of the Stuarts, and have passed the follewing: Tho general assembly vlows with tcrloug concern tho growth and pols ono.i activity of that powerful polltlco-rellglous organization known as tho Church of Home, which is and nlwas ha been a inenaco or a blluht to civil and religious liberty of every kind wherever It hag obtained a foothold, that It views with serious concern the dangerous apathy pervading all daises of Protestants In this country regarding this menace.
