A Comparison.
Picayune.

The recent strike along the line OF
the Gould system of roads, and particu
larry the Texas and Pacific Railroad
ought to bring to the public mind ;
history OF the financial management Oi
those companies, and the processes by
which these workingmen We're brought
down to starvation wages. The EN-.
ployees on the Texas Pacific, it is true
are now working for bankrupt con
Germ which it may be contended is not
able to pay higher wages. On the other
hand, it would be well for these work
lngmen, and the people generally, to
inquire how this bankruptcy was
brought about, for that is the keynote
to national legislation which the labor
ing men should insist upon.
1t may be stated primarily that Mr..
Gould's cast off railroad was never
wrecked by the margin it paid to it's
employees. On the contrary, its vitali-
ty was sapped by the " tinancierine'' of
its officials.
Gould and his fellow wreckers have
piundered the company, heeced the
stockholders, and, as far as they could,
starved the employees, and when they
had squeezed all there was out of the
ROAD, threw 1T into the hands of the
court.
For all these wrongs Mr.. Gould aud
his fellow wnianipuators were not pun
ished, and never will be, nor do we
near the pless generally denouncing
their processes
lbe road is stocked for S32, 164 600,
and bouded for S4G,131,0O0, ON 1887
miles OF track, an average of S52, ,730
per mile. We all know how the n. @.
racine was built. \ construction com
pany put up the Senblance of !; road
tor the first mortgage bonds. Ehe
STOCK was divided amongst the syndi-
cate, and represents nothing but pure
water. Every dollar of dividends on
shares taken FROM the earnings of this
branch OF the road has been taken un-
justly either from the employees or the
patrons OF the road. IT the road had
been capitalized at its true cost not on
ly would the employees have been paid
many, millions of dollars which went
into the pockets OF the New York mil
lionaires, but there would have been
DO nted Tor the services Of Il receiver
The business OF the road honestly con-
Quoted, had 1t been honestly capitalized
would have paid a handsome interest
on the Investment and good wages to
every man IN its service.
Those who talk of invoking the aid
Of the United States troops to coerce
the men that have been forced to work
for starvation wages by reason of the
tricks OF the Wall street manipulators,
should remember that the power of the
United States should have been in
voked long ago to prevent that iniqni-
tous system of plundering railway COM
panies which has been SO largely in
strumental in bringing about the
present depression, and which has
built up colossal fortunes in New York
while the masses of the employees are
reduced to hopeless poverty.

tor, why it was actors, in representing
II mere fiction. should move an assem-

representing the most solemn realities,
could scarcely obtain IL hearing. The
philosophical Garrick well replied,

The Meeting in Waterbury-A Fri bute
 Interesting Address

The Meeting in Waterbury-A Tribute
 Interesting Address g.
 The convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance union in Waterbury Tuesday is spoken of by New Haven ladies who attend ed as one of the best county assemblies the union has yet held. About one hundred la dies were present and nearly every town in the county was represented. Mrs. c. s. Alb bolt, of Watertown, delivered the address of welcome-a forcible and happy speech, with pathetic passages and cheerful, hopeful views as to the future of the temperance work. Mrs Wheelock, of Meriden, made an able and eloquent response. Like Mrs Abbott, she referred with satisfaction to the progress of reform. Both ladies made alIusion to the recent passage by Congress of the education bill for the District of Columbia, accom- plished by the persistence and influence of the Womans Christian Temperance union, and the graceful presentation by the Presi- dent to Mrs. Hunt, the unions able repre- sentative, of the pen with which he signed the bill.
 The convention was called to order by Mrs Durand of this city, county president, who paid touching tribute to the memory of Miss Knowles, president of the Guilford w. c. T. U., of whose death mo- tice had just been received. The hymn Shall we gather at the river?" was sung. Mrs. Durand introduced Mrs. Forbes of Rockville, State president of the W. 0. T. U., as the presiding officer of the day. Mrs. Forbes took the chair and the convention proceeded to business. Mrs. Radford, of Seymour, was chosen secretary pro tenn. A motion to make all visiting members of unions delegates was carried. The commit tee on credentials was appointed by the chair as follows: Mrs. w. s. Green, New Haven; Mrs. E. Blatchley, Guilford Mrs. E. R. Dud- ley, New Haven. Reports were then heard from Guilford, Meriden, Southbury, New Haven and Bethany, also from the w. c. T. U. of New Haven, the first union or ganized in the country. Then 8 paper by Mrs M J. Lockrow of Meriden, subject: "The Sufferings of the Children for the h. iquities of Their Fathers" portraylng the sad condition of the children whose fathers and sometimes the mothers are victims of the drink curse. This was followed by very interesting address on the different de- partments of the work of the w. c. T. U., At 1929 the convention adjourned to par take of bountiful collation. in the Sunday school room provided by the ladies.
 The aft rnoon session began with devo tional exercises, led by Mrs. Stoddard of Cheshire, which were followed by reports from New Haven, West Haven, Waterbury, Cheshire, Seymour, Branford, Meriden and Naugatuck, and from the New Haven divis- ion of Loyal Legion of Connecticut The reports were mostly favorable and enco urag- ing.

\ Word About Catarrh.

''It is the mucous membrane, that wonderful semi-fud envelope surrounding the delicate tis- sues of the air and food passages, that catarrh makes it's stronghold. Once established it eats into the very vitals and renders life but long drawn breath of misery and disease dulling the sense of hearing, trammelling the power of speech destroying the faculty of smell tai, ting the breath and killing the refined pleasures of taste Insidiously, by creeping on from simple cold in the head 1t assaults the membranous lining envelops the bones eating through the delicate coats and causing inflammation, sloughing and death. Nothing short of total eradication will se- health to the patient. and all allevatives are simply procrastinated suffering, leading to fatal termination. Sanford's Radical Cure by inhala- tion and by int ernal administration has never failed even when the disease has made frightful inroads delicate constitutions, hearing smell and taste have been recovered and the disease horougn ly driven out"
 Sanford's Radical Cure consists of one bottle Of the Radical Cure, box Catarrhal Solvent ana one improved inhaler, neatly wrapped in one pack age with full directions; price $1.

 Judge Deming, judge of the Court of Common Pleas, has rendered decision in the case of Fauchett vs. Hazard. In this case a suit was brought to recover money collected by the defendant while agent of the plaintiff and the defendant was arrested on a civil process. The statute of 1841, which abolished arrests civil process, excepted all suits to recover money collected in 8 fidu- ciary capacity. Attorney Arvine for the de- fendant moved that he be discharged as the money was not collected by defendant while serving in 8 fiduciary capacity. Judge Dem ing sustained the point and discharged the defendant from liability.
 Attorney Arvine, counsel for Pearl F. Sperry of Woodbridge, has brought suit against H. E. Smith for.trespass, claiming $100 damages. It is alleged that the defend ant put nine cows and bull of MT. Sperry' s into pound and kept them two days, during which time he claims they were insufficient ly fed and only once watered. MT. Sperry claims that his cattle were not on Smiths land when he took possession of them, but were under charge of man and on the way to pasturage. The affair has created consid- erable excitement in Woodbridge.
