abandoned the educational method

only true Democratic gospel than have
been made in all the campaigns to-

expired Moreover, the converts it
made are converts who will stay, be-
cause they are not converts Of the "re-

peals to their prejudices, fears and
superstitions, but of the kind that are
made by enlightening the understand
ing and convincing the reason and
judgment of men
All that is necessary to gain the vic
tory OF truth and right over wrong and
falsehood is some more converts of the
same kind. These can be made in the
same way, and only in that way-that
is, by advancing the line of battle and
forwarding the war on the solid basis
of truth with the educational arma-
ment.

Cider included.

Judge Caldwell, of the United States
Circuit Court in Arkansas, in recent
case delivered an elaborate opinion in
which he holds that, under State law
which forbids the sale of "alcohol, or
any spirituous, ardent, vinous, malt,
Or fermented liquors. cider can not
be lawfully sold. His doctrine is that
cider is an alcoholic beverage, pro-
duced by the fermentation of the Juice
OF apples, and coming clearly within
the letter of such a prohibitory
statute. On this point the Judge says:
"Cider is also an Intoxicating liquor,
Tor it is common knowledge that a fer
mented beverage, which contains from
i've to ten per cent. OF alcohol. which
Is freely drunk by the glassful, will
produce intoxication. This is a fact
OF daily observation in communities
where SUCH beverages are sold.

A Medical Voice Against Alcohol.

DR.. A. M. Ross, an eminent ply
sician of Toronto, Cam, is the author
of valuable series of health tracts, in
one of which. on the subject of drink
reform, he says:
"All intoxicating drinks including W ne, por-
ter, beer, ale and CIDER. are polsous-they are
in m cal to the human constitution, and are
reduced ON from the decay, destruction and
decomposit on OF the products of organized
matters. They deserve execration for the mis-.
cries they have inflicted and are still inf citing
on human society," l can not refrain from ut
tering my astonishment that in this enlight.
ened day there are SO many physicians and
clerGymen (who profess to guide the body to
uealth and the soul to neaven) who not only
indulge in intox eating drinks thems Ives but
commend the vile stuff to their cOnfiding fol-
overs and patients and even to nursing

Greenness and Progress.

A person who manifests an unusual In.
nocence, or ignorance, in ordinary things,
is often derisively spoken of as being
green" But there are worse states than
greenness in tn s world. A green thing
is growing thing. Indeed, the words
green" and grow come directly from
the same verbal root-showing that the
ideas Of greenness and growth were origin
ally one. Properly, then, 1t ought to be
regarded as compliment TO be called
green" The trouble is that the really
green persons do not usually get the credit
OF greenness. A truly growing, progress
i've man must be always green at some
point, or he W Il turn brown and wither and
dry and fall from the tree Of the worlds s
useful activities. Some persons, like
some leaves, take on their autumnal tints
before they have reached their full stature
They do not remain green and growing
long enough. They stop being learners
too soon

she mistakes its momentary exhilara-

there is more real strength and nour-

lants it would be a very useless piece
of information. 1t is claimed that
some OF the lady clerks in our own city,
and those, too, who are employed in
respectable business houses, are in the
habit of ordering ale or beer in the
Restaurants. They probably claim that
they are tired, and no one who sees
their faithful devotion to customers all
day will doubt their assertions. But
they should not mistake beer for q
blessing or stimulus for strength. A
careful examination OF statistics will
prove that men and women who do not
drink can endure more hardships and
more work, and live longer than those

Whisky contains from forty to fifty
per cent. OF alcohol, and cider contains
one-ffth as much alcohol as whisky,
SO that drinking "a pint of cider is
equivalent TO drinking one-fifth of a
pint of whisky. But to bring it under
the operation of the liquor laws of the
State it is not essential that it should
be an intoxicating liquor. 1t is enough
that it is 'yinous or fermented
liquor"

THE DEADLOCK BnoKEs.
The Connolly Combination in the Demo
 cratic Town Committee, Dissolved.


 The adjourned meeting of the democratic town committee held in the rooms of the Waterbury Democratic club last evening resulted in the election of Martin Hellmann for chairman and Elisha Leavenworth for treasurer of the committee. The meeting was called to order by temporary chairman Moran, the room being well filled with democrats from all four of the wards, who had responded to the invitation through the DEMOCRAT, to all who had the party's interests at heart. Connolly and Dolan refused to act until the room was cleared, and were especially anxious that the press be excluded from the meeting. Messrs Hayes and Moran expressed their willing ness to work in open session, and MT Moran suggested the names of Elisha Leaven worth, Edward l.. Frisbie, Joseph Spencer and Nelson Morris for the chsirmanship. Dolan wanted to know why a younger man was not mentioned, and Connolly said nothing. Hayes and Moran voted for all the gentlemen named. At this point, James Hayden. a disgusted democrat who was in the audience, took the floor and roundly criticised the action of the committee and said the party's sue cess was at stake. He was interrupted by Connolly, who said he did not propose to | act while outsiders were in the room. MT i the room for few minutes, and all hands signifed their willingness by moving to ward the door, but on request of Messrs Hayes and Moran, came back. Connolly then proposed the names of Benjamin Sedgwick, David Hayes, Edward s. Gull len and James A. Hynes. Hayes and Mo- ran refused to vote for any of these, and then an outsider proposed the name of Martin Hellmann. He was voted for by Moran and Hayes, but was not acceptable l to the other two Neither was John l.. Saxe whose name was also suggested by an outsider. The names of Charles Keeney and Edward B. Hardie was then proposed, l the former by Moran and the latter by Dolan, but neither proved acceptable. At this point MT Hayes suggested that all four resign from the committee, and said he would guarantee that his name would not 1 be used for reelection this year. Moran agreed to this, but Connolly and Dolan refused to entertain the proposition. Moran then said he would withdraw and allow any man from the First ward who was present, take. his place. And 1 will guarantee" said Connolly, mot to agree with your successor" Moran then asked how John l.. Saxe would do. He'd be all right for the republican party" said Connolly. The name of Martin Hellmann was agaln introduced Dy spectator, anC 1 Moran, Hayes and Connolly held a consul tation, while Dolan looked sheepishly on As result Connolly agreed to the election of MT Hellmann for the chairmanship, anG Elisha Leavenworth for treasurer. Dolan like a faithful and obedient servant, voted as did Connolly. The election of secre tary went over to the next meeting. EX Alderman James Kelly and D. J.

Last evening" just as Chief Egan was preparing to go off duty at g o'clock, he heard a knocking down stairs, in the police station. Going to the head of the stairs he saw we'll dressed stranger standing at the bottom. He inquired his business, and the stranger answered that he wanted him to put his hat on right away and go out and put seats on the green. The chief eyed him moment, and turned back into the the office, but the stranger became so demo- strative that the chief went down stairs and ordered him out. The stranger re- fused to go unless the chief accompanied him and get the seats for the green, and he attempted to cane the chief. The chief took hold of him to lock him up and then the fun began. The stranger grappled with him and the scutfie which followed attracted a crowd from No engine house and, John w. Mcdonald and Edward Williams went to the chiefs assistance and by their united efforts forced the stranger into cell but not until he had ripped the chiefs coat from the skirt to the collar.

 A little after 10 o'clock this morning a large, black dog, a Gordon setter or New foundland, with wild eyes and foaming lips, rushed into John Sandon's saloon, corner of North Elm and Cherry streets. The brute snapped at the barrels and chairs, and the proprietor and bartender found pressing business on top of the bar, while rag peddler tried to squeeze in be- tween two barrels. The brute discovered him and sprang at him, but the peddler shielded himself with his bag. The dog then ran out and down North Elm street, where he caught up several smaller dogs Kingsbury street, when he was met by a man named Odine, who put 32-calibre ball into him. The brute then turned down Brown street and into Martin & O'Neils carriage shop, where he was allowed to have the office to himself. After snapping at the chairs and turning them over he shot out the door where he was met by Odine again, who put a second and third ball into the brute's head. The now enraged animal dashed through School street and into the old Neville building on Scovill street and jumped at an Italian woman. She fortunately grasped him by the neck and threw him out. He ran into the cellar and hid in dark corner The police were notified md Officers Noonan and Thomas with the ald of a candle and two revolyers succeeded in dispatching him.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Burdick, the Omaha pitcher, who was reported to have been sold to the Pittsburg club about month ago, was sold to the Indianapolis club Saturday. The Omaha club is composed of seven eastern players and five western, and they have not been working harmoniously since the season opened This fact has caused Omaha, which was looked upon as the strongest team ill the western association, to drop to third place. The eastern players stand by Lovett and the western uphold Burdick Although the season is but half finished the management decided that something must be done and consequently the sale of Burdick was effected. Eastern players have considerable trouble of this kind in the west, as the players there are jealous of them, the customers are usually of a superior order and at once become favor. ties with the audiences.
