A plain and honest confession comes
from the Nutmeg state. The New Haven
linton says: There are places in Con-
neoucut, aud Meriden has been one Of
them, where it was not healthy for a
Democratic workingman 70 vote against
the candidates backed by his Republican
employers. Shotguns were not used to
convince him, but methods equally eGeo-
tive were brought to bear" 1t has been
long suspected that there wero places In
good many other Northern States where
the demands Of workngmen are denied
a free ballot and a fair count by their Re-
publican employers. While they are
bulldozed in Connecticut and some other
states, let It not be forgotten that they
are disfranchised by law in Rhode Is
land.

Youthful Criminals.

1t seems that boy murderers and boy
robbers and boy thieves are becoming
more numerous every day. Scarcely q
day passes but the telegraph reports
crimes in which boys Of what should be
tender years figure as the chief actors.
Boys are constantly running away from
their homes In many parts OF the country
with the intention Of becoming burglars
or robbers, and sometimes these preco-
cious Juveniles are so small that the idea
of their doing criminal act appears al
most ridiculous.
Many children are made criminals very
carly in life by evil associates. Many
are brought up by ignorant and depraved
parents, or are so unfortunate as to be
under vicious influences from birth. 1t is
no wonder that they grow up to enlarge
the criminal classes, and to have no re
spect for the rights or regard for the
opinions OF law-abiding citizens. Many
children who have been better reared
than those above mentioned are seduced
by evil companions into ways that lead
them to ruin.
The effects of vicious literature on chill
dren are daily becoming more apparent
The blood and thunder stories of outrages
and disreputable adventures have long
been denounced by the press. Yet they
are still sold and read by thousands,
and what is worse they are very
generally read by children. Parents
who attempt TO raise their children
with a proper idea of the duties and
responsibilities Of life would be shocked
at the very suggestion of their being left
for moment in the championship of
thieves, or murderers or rakes, and yet
they allow them to read books that are
perhaps more demoralizing than evil as
sociates.
If the sale Of vicious literature cannot
be suppressed by law, parents must be
doubly careful as to what their children
lead. 1t is a good rule for parents never
to allow their children to read book un-
til they have examined il sufficiently to
understand its real character.

1t was announced the other day that
Hon. s. J. Randall was out riding with
Mr.. W. M. Singerly, behind the latter gem
tleman's pair Of fast horses. A day or
two afterwards the following paragraph
appeared in Mr.. SinRerly's paper, the
Philadelphia Record: "In administering
the duties of his high station President
Cleveland has bestowed condolences that
have been betrayed. He has trusted in
those who would give him the Judas kiss :;
and, though he may not realize it, he is
being sacrificed, and the party OF which
he is the head is being prostituted in this
city aud State 10 promote the political
fortunes Of those who have been intrusted
with the distribution of the Federal pat
ronage." Some think the Judas referred
10 is Hon. 5. J. Randall. This can har.
dly be true, and yet II is said that Mr..
Randall has been freely controlling the
appointments in Pennsylvania.

Proposed Sewerage.

4 movement is on foot among the
property holders on Duke of Glouces-
ier street, in this city, looking to the
hying of sewer on that street. from
about the Maryland Hotel, extending
tito the waters edge, foot Of Glouces-
ter street Some timesago the City
Council bad under consideration a
sewerage for Cherries street, which
was to empty into Spa Greek. 1t is
claimed that the adoption of the
Gloucester street sewer would be of
vast benefit TO the citizens along the
line through which itproposes to pass
and Of The same time obviate the
necessity for the Charles street sewer.
When a sufficient number of names
arc secured the City Council will be
petlioned in the matter, and arrange
ments made to push the scheme along
as rapidly as possible. The advan.
tages of system ofsewerage through
city cannot be over estimated.
Sewers add tenfold to the healthful-
ness Of a community. No well-rcg-
ulaIed city can dispense with sewers
and enjoy healthy sanitary record.
There was much opposition to the
Prince George street sewer by some
Of the property owners, bot since its
completion some years ago, we ven
ture to say there is not one property
owner 90 that street that would dis
pense with it now. The advantages
derived from it are inestimable. We
would suggest that a meeting Of the
Interested property holders be held at
an early day to appoint committee
to secure additional petitioners and
present the merits of the sewer to the
city council at their next meeting.

Dec Fights.

Scarcely day passes that does not
witness a half dozen or more dog
fights in our streets-frightcning
women and children almost out of
their wits People who will insist
upon owning two or three dogs
should keep them within their prem
isesP or when taking them out for a
airing should have them under their
control A dog fight is always more
or less exciting, especially where q
crowd Of boys gather around to set
them on, as is generally the case.
We hope the police win endeavor to
dispose of the many worthless dogs
that constantly iniest our streets to
the great annoyance Of women and
children. and receive the plandits OF
"well done good and faithful ser
wants."

The closing up Of The business on
the Mutual Fire Insurance Company
of Anne Arundel and Howard Coun-
ties referred to il yesterdays Carr
tai, was resolved upon by the direc-
tors partly 10 consequence 81 the
small profits in the insurance business
at this time from competition and
low rates, and partly because some Of
the members Of the company were In
disposed to pay the assessment re-
quired BY the state OF its business.
The last assessment was per cent.
on the premium notes. The cOmpa.
ny being q mutual concern. and there
being no capital, sinking fund or re-
serve laid up, there was nothing to
meet losses but the assessments. A
bill will be filed in court by Mr.. Robt.
A. Dobbin as soon as full statement
OF the company's condition can be
made out from the books, and an or
der of court will be obtained to wind
up its affairs. In q mutual company
each insurer gives bis notes for the
amount of premium on bis insurance,
and pays the interest only on bis
notes if the company is prosperous.
In the event Of losses which cannot
DO met in this way assessments be-
come necessary on each of the in
sured.

A Valuable Medical Treatise.

The edition for 1886 Of the sterling
Medical annual, known as Hostetter's AL
manac, is now ready, and may be obtain
ed, free of cost, of druggists and general
country dealers in all parts of the United
States, Mexico, and indeed every civilized
portion of the Western Hemisphere. This
Almanac has been issued regularly at the
commencement of every year for over
one fourth of n century. II combines,
with the sOundest practical advice for the
preservation and restoration of health, q
large amount of interesting and amusing
light reading, and the calendar, astro-
nomical calculations chronological items,
etc. are prepared with great care, and
will be found entirely accurate. The is
sue of Hostetter's Almanac for 1886 will
probably be the largest edition of a med
ical work ever published in any country.
The propretors, Messrs. HOstetter 4 Co.,
Pittsburgh, Pa, on receipt of a twO-cent
stamp, will forward copy by mail to
any person rho cannot procure one in his
