WATERBURY DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY, APRIL H. 1888
" O in f.,.. A1 l1:ann odifOl.

" again from the Republican editorial that prohibition found it's origi,: end sustenance in the republican party MT Small said em- phatically It is not so. Tho editor should go and study the history of his country. He then read from compiled statistics to show that the republican party was organ ized in 1856 and that every prohlbltory law now extant, except those of iowa, Kansas and Rhode Island, was passed before the birth of that party. The prohibitory law in Maine was passed in 1S45. In lo5S the republicans came into power and repealed the law and in 1858 the prohibitory law was passed again. In Massachusetts the democratic passed prohibltory law In lo52 for which the republicans substituted the local option law New Hampshire dem ocrats passed prohibitory law In looo, Ill Vermont in 1852 and in Rhode Island in 1852, republicans repeating it in the latter state in 1863, restoring it in 1864, and re- pealing it in 1875. In Connecticut the democrats passed the Maine law in 1854, the republicans repeating it in 1874. In the light of these figures MT. Small thought that the Republicans editor should emlgrate to some state where his grammar and facts would agree. Referring to New York state, he said that the republicans advocated high license in the legislature because they knew that Gov. Hill would veto such measure. It gave them 8 spring board to jump from, and they were trying to outjump the democrats. Their hypocrisy in that state had lost them the difference between 31 ,OO0 and 4, 900 votes. The speaker said he was an ultra prohi- bitionist; he was everything or nothing. There was no half way house be tween low whisky and high prohibition, but the republican party was riding bonds. It was like coining dollars on the eyelids of dead man to make the corpse look decent. The speaker then read from 8 speech of John Sherman at Alliance in which the senator committed himself in favor of license, and from platforms of the republican party to show that it was with the liquor element. As to prohibi- tory legislation between the two parties the democratic party stood ahead, but there was no difference to the moral statues. He expected to see the republi- cans whipped next fall, free trade or no free trade. The democrats did not want to see the republicans disband. It was for their vital interest to keep the party alive if it can only keep it licked. It was all liquor or no liquor and it had got to go under. The republican party was the only obstructionist to-day to prohibition, and it was the life preserver of whisky and the democratic party. The temperance people had been hoodwinked and swindled long enough, and the prohibition party had rolled up 200, ,0O0 votes to the 300, 900 cast at the last election.

THE WORLD OF SPORTS.

The majority of the Bridgeport team are Germans. Waterbury has an Irish team. Pitcher Conway of the Bostons was mar ried Monday to Katie A. Mobile, sister of George Moolic, the old Meriden catcher. The Boston Globe speaks of Stagg, the Yale pitcher, as "a back number" The Globe will have to apologize to Stagg be- fore the season is over.
 Jack Williams of this city, feather weight champion of New England, will probably spar Tommy Danforth at the meeting of the Athenian club at Boston, Friday night.
 The rivalry between the Louisvilles and Cincinnatis is approaching white heat, Col Pete Browning is caressing his big bat and singing ''Red legs which never grow weary while chasing three-baggers away under the seats."
 The national league boasts of about twenty-seven youngsters who make their debut this season, and the American as sociation has about twenty -four. How many of these will be held to the end of the season is the question now being asked.
 Ward wants the small sum of S5OOO to hold down short garden, Keefe wants S4OOO to start the ball from the centre of the diamond, and Brown wants $30OO to stop the ball after Keefe puts it across the plate, 8 total of $l2,0OO. And the New York club will not pay it.
 Von der Ahe has offered the players of the St Louis Browns and Whites $lO0 each if they end the season first, second or third in their respective associations, and $25 to each player who goes through the season without a fine. The latter offer is safe one; it is easy to put a fine on any time.
 Denny Mack, the veteran base ball player, died at Wilkesbarre yesterday morning. He returned home Monday about II o'clock, and upon going upstairs to his room he was seized with violent pain in the head. He fell back on the floor, a distance of ten feet, and fractured his spinal column, and died in a few hours. Mack was umpire in the Eastern league when Waterbury joined the organization in 1885, and was well known i'll this city.
 It is worthy of remark that Atkinson and Decker, one of the batteries for the Tor ontos, were both blacklisted for alleged offenses committed in Cincinnati. In 1884 Atkinson jumped the Atheletics while they were playing in New Yorkto jointhe Chicago Unions. About month lster Decker, who was with the Indianapolis club, left them here to join the Kansas City Unions. Both were blackisted with the rest of the union men, but were reinstated, and are now working together.

SOUTH MAIN STREET CROSSING. The City Will Now Probably Have to
 Fight the M. and w.

SoOlH MAIN STREET CIOoSlNO. The City Will Now Probably Have ito
 Fight the M. and w.
 The railroad commissioners have issued their order in the matter of the petition of the Meriden and Waterbury railroad as to the bridges at Dublin, Silver, Liberty and South Main streets. The law provides that the bottom beam of the bridge shall be eighteen feet above the rails, except in case the commissioners order it otherwise. The company petitioned that it be only if teen feet at Liberty, Dublin and Silver streets, and that the bridge at Liberty street be constructed as wide as the present width of the street The com missioners will comply with the request concerning the height, but will order that the bridge be constructed according to the official width of the street. In the matter of the South Main street crossing, the com pany asked that the posts or supports fer the bridge be on line at or near the curb line of the street, and that the height of the bridge from the rails be thirteen feet. The commissioners order that the bottom beams be fourteen feet from the rails, and that the supports be so constructed on the curb line as not to project into the street.
 The city will probably appeal from the decision concerning South Main street and fight it in the courts, as it intends doing in the other cases. This, of course, will not interfere with the completion of the rail road to the station.

A Murderous Assault.

Julius R. Weber, a Danbury tailor, was seriously injured yesterday in an assault committed upon him in his own store by Howard P. Stevens.

Burglary in Naueatuck.

Burglars broke into John M Page & Co.'S hardware store in Naugatuck last night, forcing an entrance by removing the putty and taking out one of the large panes of glass in the front. They helped themselves to razors, revolvers and other small ar ticles to the value of s60 The Naugatuck people have become alarmed at this petty robbery, which makes the fourth in six weeks, and will appoint two night police men about the center. The merchants say that if the authorities do not appoint two men they will employ two watchmen.

Why, Oh Why?

If Senator Sherman is the one and only Ohio man who can be considered in con nection with the Republican nomination for the presidency, why is there such an expenditure of breath, and such waste of Clamp black and rags,'' to place that proposition before the people?-Cincinnat Enquirer.

 Justice Cowell to-day heard the case of Martin Baldwin against Coyle and brother, action to recover $55 for the construction of barn, which the defendants claim was not built according to contract.
 Concordia hall, beautified with bowers and tables hidden by the profuse display of fancy work and enlivened by the Hitting forms of pretty young ladies, presented an enchanting scene at the opening of the kirmesse last evening. The attendance might have been larger, tue storm un- doubtedly keeping many at home, but con sidering everything it was an suspicious beginning and augurs well for the success of the affair. The ladies who have the matter in charge exhibit considerable ex- ecutive ability and are mindful of the com fort and happiness of the patrons. The fair will continue for two more evenings, the Tyrolese warblers playing each even- ing.
 The contract for doing the brick work on the new building which is to be erected on the site of the old Catholic school build ing on East Main street has been awarded to John w. Gaffany, who was the lowest bidder. The following are the bids J. w. Gaffany, $17, 100; Chatfeld & Chat field, $17,814; A. l. & G. s. Chatfeld, 7,130. The carpenter work has been awarded to Charles O'Connor, who was the lowest bidder. The contractors who figured on the carpenter work are: H. A. Lawler, $1 ,922; Charles O'Connor, $11 300; J. J. McAuley, $14, 900; John Clohessy, S14, 100. Work will be commenced as soon as pur- chaser can be found for the old school building, which will be sold very cheap.
 The Rev Dr w. w. Bowdish, who has been transferred from the First M E. church in this city to the John street M E. church of New York city, will spend this week with friends here, but will preach at his new charge next Sunday, re- turning to Waterbury for few days next week.. The John street M. E. church is one of the oldest in America and is the mecca of Methodism in the United States. Rev A. E. Eggleston, who has been located in Hampstead, L. l., will succeed Dr Bow dish. He has been located at different times in Waterbury, Bristol and Birming- ham. The selection of pastor for St Paul's church has not yet been made One will probably be chosen either by the presiding elder or by the trustees.

Jm0iodn.
With all due Difference 10 our esteemed
contemporary, We are constrained to say
that this is good way of from the spirit
Of the occasion. Every one OF the Southern
Democratic Conventions Endorsed the
Presidents TariT-reform Message and the
Mills Bill, and without reference TO MIR.
Cleveland's New Jersey speech. Free trade
il bugbear. II is impracticable. 1t is
out Of the question. There can be no
such thing as free trade 80 long
any any customs dues are collected and u
custom-housc exists. What is wanted and
what IL feasible is n reform OF the robber
war tariff, and that the Democrats OF the
South are united upon. They are Demo
Gratis Of the JelIersonian stripe and desire
10 get rs near TO free trade as Is
practicable and are not TO be affected
by this rot about the protection Of
the working man, which means 1000
in the pocket OF the manufacturer
and paupcr wages for the helpless work
ingman. The st. Louis Convention 10
keep the party united must follow in the
lead OF the State Democratic Conventions
and indorse the Mills bill and the Presi-
dents Tariir-reiorm Message. The best
and the surest way to protect the people is
to make all that they wear Of clothing and
use OF food free Of taxes.
