CALL A SPECIAL TOWN MEErIxG

CALL A SPECIAL TOWN MEETIRG.
 It has been for some time apparent that the people of this town are overwhelmingly
 in favor of using the fifty thousand dollar
 appropriation for a memorial library instead
 of monument. The interviews and con- munications published by the city press have pointed in one direction. The town meet ing which made the appropriation for mon ument did not represent the people. A town meeting in New Haven and in the other cities of the State never does represent the people. Town meetings are generally attended by reople who have axes tO grind and are occupied in grinding them. The town meet ing ought to be abolished in the cities, for it is simply legalized fraud. Not ten per cent of the electors of this town knew that the propose al to make this appropriation was to come before the meeting which voted it.
 Is this vote fnality It is absurd to suppose that two or three per cent. of the electors can irrevocably bind the town sim- ply because they happen to attend the meet ing. Any subsequent town meeting, before the vote is actually carried into execution, can rescind or amend it. Notwithstanding the fact that the tide of public sentiment is clear ly running in opposition to the present form of the appropriation, nothing has been done towards carrying out the actual wish of the voters. The committee which has the mat ter in charge still continues to direct it's efforts exclusively towards the erection of a monument. In this of course the committee is not at all to blame, for it cannot do other wise than obey the mandate of legal town meeting, however great 8 farce it may have been. The sole remedy lies in another town meeting. The matter has attained publicity. The people are interested in it. It is live question. If special town meeting were now to be called to consider it, i've could expect full attendance and full expression of public sentiment.
 The Selectnen have power to call special town meetings. Why don't they call one2 Ought they not to be interested in seeing that the wish of the voters is fairly expressed before their money is expended ? Many. perhaps, who are interested in this question are not aware that they are not even depend ent upon the Selectmen for special town meetings. A town meeting may be called on the application of twenty inhabitants quail fled to vote in such meetings. A meeting should be called before the money or any considerable part of it has been expend- ed. Let the application be made.

 And smoothed it tenderly upon her knee, Then through the soft web of wee red sock

 is. The object of the society is to classify and improve the insects useful to man, and to point out the best means of extirpatlng the noxious ones or at least of checking their ravages The exhibition is organized on @ very complete scale, being composed of four main divisions and one subsidiary one (devoted to snails and siugs.) The first division comprises all insects Of recog- nized utility to men, and the various stages of their development, from the egg to the perfect state The second division contains noxious insects; they have been classed, not according to the scientific grouping, but according to the plants they prey upon. There are ten classes in the nox1ous divl- sion the first six of which include the parasites of vegetables and trees; the sew outh and eighth contain the insects which prey upon timber and upon manufactured materials. silk, linen, etc. the ninth class comprises the ordinary parasites such as the flea etc. and the tenth the insects injurious to pisciculture. The third division groups together all the birds, animals and reptiles which tend to destroy the harmful insect, and thus act as friends to man. Tho fourth division is devoted to the arts and manufac- lures more directly connected with the culti- vation of insects. The principal features Of the exhibition are naturally the silkworm and bee, with their various methods of culture, products etc. Apiculture is not very large ly represented at the exhibition of insects. Sericulture, as the French term the rearing of silkworms, is also inadequately represent ed. The show of beehives is good. Butter flies and beetles, some of them classed as noxious, and others as useful, are very nu- merously represented. The section Of snakes and lizards (exhibited on account of their relations to insects-the relations of the de- stroyer and the destroyedy is more complete than might have been expected. Fheuwl, Eo fatal to mice and rodents in general, stands all by himself in post of honor, while the rodents who destroy grain are pilloried in cages

 From the New York Heraldl

The laboring men of the country must therefore. it seems. take into account that there is a considerable and influential opin- ion. mainly republican, which will, if it can gain headway, cause the passage of laws pro, 6ibiting strikes in certain ernployments, and if in some at first, logically in all at the end.
 That is a matter which deserves their atten tion, and not theirs only. 1t deserves the at- tention of every citizen to whom American Iibertv is dear. We foresee that the agents and supporters of corporate monopolies will cry out that the Herald is mischievously stir ring up strife between labor and capital but that is not true. It is those who propose laws narrowing the liberty of workingmen, and, in fact, destroying it, who would stir up

such strife. We, who warn the worknlen of the land against such confessed designs seek to prevent what would, if these plans should succeed, lead to interminable strife and disorder. There can be no war between labor and capital unless capital attacks labor by attempts to pass laws restricting the la- borer's liberty.
 The right to ssstrike''-that is to say, to refuse any longer to work for another-is essential to the freedom of the workman. It cannot be interfered with by laws without dealing fatal blow at his manhood. If he is to remain a freeman. he must be able to exercise the right to choose his employer, to make terms with him, to refuse to work for him if he pIeases, and to do this in combina- ton with his fellow workmen. The general public may suffer inconvenience by strike, but that cannot be helped. Freedom is in many ways inconvenient, as foolish Amer1- cans, enamoured of the Napoleonlc despo- tism, used loudly 70 proclaim after visit to Paris. But, after all, freedom is in the long run less inconvenient, more orderly and less costly than the best devised despotism.
 Of course, the necessities of the public service and the ssgeneral interest" are ap- pealed to by those who have formed this design to prohibit strikes and labor combl- nations. That is natural; necessity has al ways been the plea of those who wished to abridge popular freedom, and has in the majority of cases been honestly held by them a sufficient excuse. We do not pre- tend to say that the journals which have during the present strike developed the propositions which seem to us so startling are consciously enemies of liberty. But their proposals are only the more mischiev- ous because they are made by respectable men of good intentions. They need the more prompt exposure and the more con- spicuous and general condemnation because of the good character of their authors. If MT. Jay Gould or Mir. A. B. Cornell or Mir. Cyrus W. Field should in person cry out for laws prohibiting strikes no opposi- tion or exposure would be needed. It is when reputable organs of public and party opinion, whether secretly under the inf1u- ence of great corporations or only moved by ignorance or 8 doctrinaire spirit, bring forward such propositions that prompt ex posture and protest become necessary for the sake of general freedom and for the sake of order and peace IS well.

WHAT TRIPE Is.
Bob Burdette Tells What He Knows About
the Delectable Edible,

Occasionally YOU see a man order
uipe at hotel, but he always looks
hard, as though he hated himself and
everybody else. He tries to look as
though he enjoyed it, but he does not,
Triple Is indigeStblc, and looks like an
india-rubbcr apron for a child to sit on,
When it is picked it looks like dirty
clothes put to soak, and when it is cook
ing it looks as though the cook was
boiling a dish-cloth. On the table it
looks like glue, and tastes like a piece
of oil silk umbrella cover \ stomach
that is not lined with corrugated iron
would be turned wrong side out by the
smell of tripo A man eating tripe at a
hotel table looks like an arctic explorer
dining on his boots or chewing pieces
of frozen raw dog You cannot look at
a man eating tripc but he will blush
and look as though he wanted to apollo
gize and convince You he is taking it to
tone up his system. A woman never
eats tripe. There is not money enough
in the world to hire o woman to take
corner Of sheet Of tripc in her teeth
and try TO pull off piece, Those who
eat tripe are men who have had their
stomachs play mean tricks on them,
and they eat tripe TO get even with their
stomachs, and then they 90 and take
Turkish bath TO sweat it out of the sys-
TEN. Triple is a superstition handed
down from former generation Of
butchers, who sold all the meat and
kept the tripe for themselves and the
dogs, but dogs of the present day will
not eat tripc You throw n piece Of
tripe down in front of dog, and see il
he does not put his tail between his legs
and 90 off and hate You. Triple may
have value, but il is not as food. It
may be good TO fill into u bmglar-proof

or 1t might answer 10 use as u breast

to use for bumpers between cars, or it
would make a good face for the weight

would be a pie compared with tripc.
