Our New Merchant Marine.
Our new Navy, if not all that it should
be or all that it will be, isa good deal
of an accomplished fact nevertheless.
It has made wonderful progress during
the last ten years, from little or noth-
ing to great respectability, both in size
and quality, and thanks to its compara-
tive elimination from party politics, the
good work is still progressing, Says the
Washington Post. ' ‘ ‘
Nor is the merchant marine to be left
lagging in the rear. Now that the
trans-atlantic mail contract has been
entered into between the Government
and the International Navigation Com-
pany, a new era is about to dawn on
our long-neglected commerce. The
first step, and a very important step in
this direction, has been taken, and al-
though it has encountered more or less
partisan antagonism, the policy has
but to demonstratb its own wisdom to
gain the approval of the whole people.
It is 'now announced that in addition
to the City of Paris and City of New
York, which have already been trans-
ferred to American registry, the Inter-
national Company will build five addi-
tional steamers of similar or better
class, and under the terms of the con-
tract, which is to takeefi'ect three years
from the date of signing and to contin-
ne in force ten years, a semi-weekly
service will be provided to Southamp-
ton and a weekly service to Boulogne
and Antwerp.
The fleet, when once afloat, will be
the finest and fleetest ever owned and
operated by a single firm in this coun-
try. The new vessels will be built by
Cramp & Sons, of Philadelphia», at an
expense of not less than $9,000,000.
They will float the American flag, wil1
will represent the best types of Ameri-
can marine architecture. They will also
be built with special reference to their
availability for auxiliary cruisers in
time of war, thus strengthening the na-
val as well as mail and merchant ser-
vice. .
This is indeed an auspicious begin-
ning. President Griscom, of the Inter-
national cOmpany, calls it a gigantic ex-
periment, but he entertains no appre-
hension of its failure. Its success will
mean the rehabilitation of the mercan-
tile marine upon a scale hitherto never
approached. It will mean an improve-
ment of the ocean mail service to
a point hitherto never attempted.
It will furnish an almost illimit‘a-
ble field for American investment,
revivecthe shipbuilding interest, and
many times multiply American prestige
upon the seas.
The Winning Party Will Carry Con-
gress-
Additional importance is given the
Presidential contest by reason of the
universal belief among skilled politi-
cians that whichever party secures the
Presidency will in all probability carry
the control of both houses of Congress.
and thus be enabled to change or main-
tain all national legislation as it chooses.
If the Democratic party should carry
the Presidential election the probabil-
ity is that they will obtain entire pos-
session of the government.
At present the Senate is composed of
47 Republicans, 39 Democrats and 2 A1-
crats, and for all practical purposes may
be classed with them, so that the Re-
publican majority is only 6. Twenty-
nine Senators are to be chosen by the
Legislatures elected November 8. Of
these 2-9 seats to be filled 11 are now oc-
,cupied by Democrats and 18 by Repub-
licans. If the Democrats should gain
three or four seats they will overturn
the Republican majority. Among the
States which are to elect Senators is
New York,whose Legislature was Dem-
ocratic in both branches when Senator
Hill got through with the returns.
Michigan is another Senatorial State
and the present Legislature has a Dem-
ocratic majority of 30 on joint ballot.
In Wisconsin the present Legislature
has a Democratic majority of 35 on joint
ballot. In the Minnesota _ Legislature
it is a stand-off between. Republicans
ance holding the balance of powvr with
32 votes. In Montana the present Leg-
islature is Republican by only 1 on joint
ballot.
The outgoing Senators from all the
Their
political condition is such that the
Presidential election may be expected
to exercise a decisive influence upon
the political complexion of their Legis-
latures. The prObable result will be
that whoever is elected President will
have both houses of Congress in party-
accord with the administration and, on,
the whole, this is as it should be.

A Contemptlble Act

stripped {the windows of their pictures
and decorations. It is a great pity that
the. guilty loafer or loafers were not
caught in their contemptible act and
justice meted out to‘ them which they
richly deserve. Such acts as this only
tend to disgrace the town and are con-
damned - by . both Republicans and
Democrats.

A Good Samaritan’s Hard Luck.
Milo Morgan was arrested yesterday
for playing the part of the good Sama-
.‘IltfiD. He was too good for his own
~-good. William Merwm came here from
Norwalk yesterday to look for Work.
Norwalk is a seaport town and William
has probably had experience as a steve-
dore. _At any rate he went to work
:unloading schooners as soon as he
struck the town. The work exhausted
him and Milo Morgan found him asleep
on a White street door step.
Milo never saw Merwin before, but
his heart was touched with pity and fear
that the stranger would fall into the
.hands of a policeman. So he took him
in hand and without the formality of an
introduction started to lead him to a
more secluded spot. Merwin came to
jected to the proceedings.
A policeman arrested them both.
.Mei'win was discharged this morning.
and Morgan went to jail to work out $55
. and costs. ——Danbury News.

*withdrew in favor of Mr. Keeler.
‘A- formal ballot was then ' taken, Mr.

A speech was called for and Mr.
Keeler responded in a happy manner.

Stamford’s Celebration.
Yesterday was the last day in the
great celevration of Stamford’s 250th
anniversary. The parade, which was
the grandest ever seen seen in this sec-
tion, started shortly before 12 o’clo :k,
and it is estimated that fully six thou-
sand persons took part in it. The pa-
rade was over one hour in passing the
reviewing stand, on which were seated
Lieut.-Gov. Merwin, (Ax-Gov. Lounsr
bury, U.‘ S. Senator Platt, G. B. Ed—
monds, collector of port of Bridgeport.
Comptroller Staub, Hon. E. L Sco-
field, and the members of the several
committees.
After the purmle the invited guests
and officers of the United States war
vessels were given a banquet at the
Stamford club by the Stamford Yacht
club. Those present were Lieutenant
Governor Merwin, Senator Platt. Cap-
tain Sicard of the Miantonomah (for
several years he was chief of the bureau
of ordnance of the United States), Cap-
tain Higinson of the Atlanta. Captain
Schmcder of the Vesuvius, Charles E.
Cline, chief engineer of the Vesuvius.
medical examiner of the Vesuvius, Dr.
Wentworth of the Atlanta, Surgeon
Champion of the Atlanta, Paymaster
Barton of the Miantononiah. In the
evening a grand ball was given at the
club house.
The arches along the line of march
and the decorations of private houses,
stores and public buildings were of an
elaborate character. in fact the whole
city was gaily ciparisoned in red, white
and blue, and a happier throng of pea.
ple never congregated.
The floats in the procession attracted
much attention. The Norwalk fire de-
partment won hearty cheers all along
the line of march, as did also the G. A.
R. veterans. They had all seen many
parades. but pronounced this one the
largest and most complete they had
ever witnessed.
In the afternoon, after the parade,the
exercises in the town hall took place,
beginning at 3.30 o’clock. The Orato-
rio society sang several selections.
Rev. Dr. Vail delivered the oration.
Hon. George A. Hoyt presided. A poem
written by. Charles H. Crandull was
read by Rev. Samuel Scoville. A son-
net by Rev. J. G. Davenport was read
by Miss Katie Jones. Calls for speeches
were responded to by Senator Platt,
General .S. E. Merwin. ex-Governor
Lounsbury. Colonel J. D. Smith, Hon.
E. L. Scolield and others.
In the evening there was a grand pyr-
otechnic display at St. John’s place.
which closed the celebration of the
250th anniversary of Stamford.
, Stamford covered itself with a "blaze
of glory" from the start to the finish of
of which
sible. ‘_ It will he a day long remember-
ed b‘y the large number of Norwalk
people who took part both in the pa-
rade and as spectators.

Annual Meeting of the Consolidated.
The annual meeting of stockholders
. of the New York, New Haven and Hart-
ford was held in New Haven yesterday.
About 300 were present, among them
the following : William Rockefeller, J.
Pierpont Morgan, George MacCulloch
Miller, Joseph Park and Henry S. Lee
of New York. Henry L. Goodwin, of
East Hartford, attended the meeting.
Secretary Bishop announced that the '
meeting was called for tie purpose of
adopting resolutions to accept the annu-
al report of the directors, the election
of a new board of directors, and the
approval of the leases of the Housaton-
ic, the New Haven 6': Derby, the Dan-
bury & Norwalk, and the action of the
Rhode Island general assembly in rela-
tion to the lease of the New York,
Providence 8: Boston.
After the report of the board of Di-
rectors had been accepted, Goodwin of
East Hartford, intimated that the offi-
cers were trying to withhold certain in-
formation and then moved that the mo-
tion just passed be reconsidered. This
President-Clark ruled as out of order,
but offered by way of concession to en-
tertain the motion after the regular
business was disposed of.
The entire old board was re-elected
and the other resolutions adopted.
total of 175,751 votes were cast and 175,-
500 were for the directors and resolu-
tions named. Mr. Goodwin then inter-
fered again. accusing the president of
not fulfilling his promise. He was
again ruled out of order but was given
the privilege of the floor. He then of-
fered a resolution providing for a com-
mittee to ascertain how much stock had
been sold and the amount of real eatate
purchased during the past year, ofi’er-
ing by way of explanation that $49,000
had disappeared and was not accounted
for in the annual report. The motion
was not seconded but the president ex-
plained the apparent discrepancy by
stating that certain buildings had been
erected in New Britain and other im-
provements added which account for
the sum. Mr. Goodwin then appeared
satisfied and a resolution of confidence
in the company’s oflicers was passed. A
resolution ' thanking Messrs. Morgan
and Rockefeller for enabling the road
to come into possession of the Housa-
tonic Was alSo passed.
