A Democratic Wall

CINCINNATI, November 1S.-The
Enquirer jumped on Senator Pen
dleton to-day with the following
double-leaded editorial: Already
there is much speculation among
Democrats in Ohio and other states
as to President Cleveland's Cabinet.
But there is greater activity among
large class of Democratic politi-
clans who have been loyal in season
and out, and who labored year af-
ter year to bring abont the victory
which has finally perched upon the
banners ofthe triumphant Democrs-
cy. This class of faithful Demo-
Gratis expect the rewards of office,
hope to secure these rewards and are
actively engaged in enlisting such
influence as will aid them to secure
the ends of their ambition. To this
class of deserving Democrats we wish
to say, that, under the Civil Service
act of Hon. George III. Pendleton,
you are excluded from participation
in the public service Thousands
already in Office and who have been
there for years, will remain until re-
moved by death or for cause.
"For you Democrats who seek
recognition in the humDlest offices
this victory has been barren one,
thanks to the efforts of Senator Pen
dleton. President Cleveland, being
an honest, sturdy Democrat, would
like to appoint honest, worthy Dem
ocrats, no matter how meagre In ed
ucation they might be; but Re-
publican Senate, with the Pendleton
bill as a club, will be able to sue
cessfully check him. Owing to the
provisions of this English act to Gre
ate an office holding class, we say
to a great class of eager and expec-
tant Democrats Don't build your
hops too high, for blessed are those
who expect nothing, for they shall
not be disappointed

CAUGHT BY A RING.

week ago Saturday a Mrs Roberts of New Britain, going home from New York, had her trunk, by mistake of the baggage master, checked toeNew Canaan instead of New Britain. Notice was given to Superin- tendent Davidson, of Hartford, and on Mon day he secured the return of the trunk to it's owner, but she found then that the lock had been forced and that the trunk had been robbed of a valuable pearl ring As the trunk was in New Britain only twenty min utes before it was sent home, Mir. Davidson felt confident that the robbery occurred in New Canaan where it lay over Sunday, and accordingly he sent his clerk, MT. Edward Curtis, to look into the matter.
 Mir. Curtis, on reaching New Canaan, made up his mind, inasmuch as a good many val uabIes were not taken, that whoever took the ring did SO for the purpose of making present to some friend of the other sex. His suspicion rested upon rather ofhclous brakeman named Thomas Donohue, who lives in New Canaan, and he began irqairing about him Among other things he learned that the fellow was just now the subject of considerable joking because he had given 8 young woman in Stamford a ring which she had returned to him. The rival, who had brought it back to Donohue, explained the circumstances to Mir. Curtis, and he thereupon had Donohue arrested. He protested his innocence vociferously, but at last admitted that he took the ring and that it then lay on timber in the voodshed of home in New Canaan. Next morning before the rest of the family knew what the trouble was, Mir. Curtis was at New Canaan and in the Donohue household, and in short time he had the ring again in his possession.
 Donohue was locked up and bound over for trial, the ring was restored to the owner and unless already filled, there is a vacancy on the New Canaan railroad.

 This matter. as you all know, has recently been taken up by voluntary association Of our citizens. which has appointed commit tee to advocate the consolidation before the

 initiated by the city itself, through its reRu-

 are the same from whatever quarter 1t comes,
 and trust it will receive your hearty sup
 port.
 Such a measure would require careful
 consideration Of many interests. and would

It is good custom for ch committee to make full reports of it's transactions, as often they become of great value and are the means of saving much ex- pense to the city. Uuquestionably there | may be important matters of public interest connected with us that have overlooked. as it is difficult among the many to bring all to mind.
 Before closing wish to say to you, with 1 emphasis. that during the year you must be | euarded in passing orders for new work, as the estimates will far from cover those al ready booked. Every new order if not car ried. ont immediately often causes unpleas antness, those in interest assuming that they are entitled to it's execution as soon as your | honorable body sees fit to act upon it, even 1 if there is not a dollar in the treasury appro- priated to the object.
 Gentlemen of the Court of Common Council, let me hope and trust that this cen tennial year will prove prosperous and hap py one to our city and it's citizens, that our intercourse may be pleasant and profitable and our friendships made stronger by show | ing to each other and to all those amenities | in life that become Christian citizens and in- telligent gentlemen.
