THERE is no more reason why one
should vote for workingman because
he is workingman than there is in yot-
ing for merchant because he is q mer-
chant, a manufacturer because be is
manufacturer, or a surgeon because he
cuts off legs. If the workingman is the
best man for the place, and represents
the political principles it is most desira>
ble to adopt, by all means vote for him,
for these reasons and these only. The
demand is for honest and intelligent men
in Office, without regard to their Oecupa-
tions. An honest and intelligent farm+
er, banker, school teacher, or business
man is just as good as an honest and in
telligent mechanic, and no better. These
class distinctions should not be permit
ted to have influence in American poli+
tics. The men who set them up are
mere demagogues-a political nuisance
which should be sbsted. - Cleveland

Will smile with rapture DER the dark>

Infinity of gloom to lead thee. thence
Wait for the morning, it will come in

FAIR HAVEN.
\ Daring Burglary on the East Side The House OfGeorge Bradley Robbed Local JOttings.

Local Jottings.
 Every now and then Fair Haven residents particularly those residing on the east side, are startled by reports of daring burglaries committed, apparently by professionals. Early Wednesday morning the residence of George Bradley of Center street was broken into and a purse contain ing considerable sum of money stolen Entrance was effected through the front door, the thieves turning the key from the outside with nippers. There were no bolts on the inside of the door. The purse was taken from the pockets of MT. Bradley's trousers, which were hanging on 6 chair by the bed. Mrs. Bradley was awak- ened and thought she heard a noise of cat walking about. As the noise was not con tinued she came to the conclusion that all was right and went to sleep. In the morn ing the first intimation the family had that the house had been burglarized was the finding of the front door open. A search disclosed the fact that the thieves had ransacked the house from top to bottom and had gathered up some silverware and a number of other articles with the in tention of taking them away. The reason they left is probably because they became frightened at something. A pocketbook con taining large sum of money was in the room which the burglars ransacked the most thoroughly, but fortunately escaped obser vation. The case was reported to Officer Mack who is looking the matter up.
 The Y. w. c. A. supper takes place at the First church to- night.
 If the present weather holds on day or two longer the river will again be frozen up tight.
