Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-04-12

THE decision of the railroad commis- sioners concerning the South Main street crossing is anothor indication that the people of this community have no rights as against corporation. The railroad commissioners are supposed to be body to which the people petition for an equitable adjustment of matters in which the community and corporation disagree, but thus far Waterbury's experience-and it is a long one-has been to get anything like what to it seems to be just and fair it must appeal to the courts and fight the railroad companies there. The DEMOCRAT entertains spirit of friendliness toward the Meriden and Waterbury railroad and welcomes it into this city, but it maintains that the interests of community should not be subserved to the wishes of cor poration. The construction of the road may prove blessing to the people of Waterbury, but it should be constructed in & manner that will cause as little inconvenience to the people as possible. It may plead poverty now but past ex- perience proves what may be expected in the future. Watering stock, freezing out the little stockholders and declaring big dividends is the exception rather than the rule in the history of railroad corporations in the state.

snerm.n i. More Stalking Horse.


 When the Republicans of Ohio at Toledo last summer passed a resolution commenting John Sherman to the national convention as the state's choice for president, The Daily News correspond ent characterized it as a specimen bit of Ohio hypocrisy. There was not an intelli- gent observer in Toledo who did not un- derstand that the whole thing was sham and a delusion. John Sherman had no more hold upon the affections of the men who indorsed him than winter has upon the dog days. The Blaine-Foraker men did as they pleased, and it pleased them to tickle Sherman with pretense of popularity. The veil is now being drawn from before their game. Two congress sional districts have elected delegates to the Chicago convention. MT. Sherman tried in both instances to have his friends chosen. But it was not to be. Faithful followers of the Foraker band wagon were elected, and they will come to Chicago bearing Sherman palm leaf fans in their hands but Blaine votes in their minds for use on the deciding ballot.
 John Sherman is being used for Blaine stalking horse in Ohio, as Depew is being used in New York, Alger in Michigan, Phelps in New Jersey, Harrison in Indi- ana, Allison in Iowa, Stanford in Cali fornia, and as Washburne would be, if he would permit it, in Minnesota.
 The Blaine stalking horse is abroad in the land.-Chicago News.

A FarcicaI Idea.

Certain Kansas Republicans, infatuated with Senator Ingalls, vitriolic eloquence, have conceived the farcical idea that In gals would make an excellent presidential candidate. So he would-for some req sons.
 If the Republican convention could be induced to enter the state of idiocy long enough to nominate Ingalls,, his candi- dacy would be greeted with the greatest pleasure by the American people, if for no other reason than that it would give them an opportunity to exhibit in an effectual manner their supreme contempt for a man who, in the senate of his country, does not hesitate to violate every principle of common sense, decency and patriotism. It would give them an opportunity to show him that in insulting dead heroes he has insulted the entire country, and right gladly would they avail themselves of it.
 They would sink him into deserved obscurity, from which it would be inn possible for him to emerge, and they would take the greatest pleasure in life in doing it.-St. Paul Globe.

the doors locked, and as they could hear no noise the officers naturally supposed that the gas had been left lighted through neglect of the janitor or some of the occu- pants of the building, as had often been the case before, and thought no more of the matter. Had the officers secured g battering ram, smashed in the big front doors of the building and made a thorough examination of the place they might have been doing their duty, but we doubt it. Chief Egan or any man on his force, placed in the same position would have done only what Officers Pagan and Brickel did. We believe the chief overstepped the bounds of prudence in bringing this charge against two such faithful and efficient officers as John Pagan and William Brickel have proven themselves to be, and we do not hesitate to express our honest opinion. As to the board of police commissioners we have not much to say. It has been eccen- trio and cratic for several years and this is not the first of it's actions that has de served censure.

LET JUSTICE BE DONE.

THE action of Chief of Police George M
 Egan in preferring charge against officers Pagan and Brickel, and of the board o1 police commissioners in inficting fine upon those officers for an alleged neglect of duty, is being severely criticised on all sides The decision of the board we re- gard as an outrage. Nearly every officer on the force testified to having seen lights in different parts of the city hall building late at night, on different occasions, and to having reported the same to Chief Egan. On the night the city hall was burglarized Officer Pagan was on duty on West Main street, and seeing light in the building re- ported the fact at headquarters and then returned with Officer Brickel to make an investigation. The blinds were closed and

LAUNCHED AND AFLOAT.

A New England constable, who has had great experience with tramps, says that he | has never yet seen one with bald head. Matthew Arnold must acknowledge, how ever, that we play 8 very good game of baseball over here, and that we can empty tea into Boston harbor with the best of them.
 For TOO years England has been trying to convert Ireland into a land of parks and pastures, and every effort has been weaker than it's predecessor. Balfour is simply trying to perform what Cromwell failed to do. He will fail.
 There is regular boom in sparring at Harvard this year, and more slugging has been done than ever before. Fully 400 students are boxing regularly, and some are very handy with their fist. Sullivan's $ place may be filled in Boston after all. Says Cincinnati paper: "There is a
 wealthy young man in this city, worth 1 $150, ,OO0, who is content to drive all ice wagon for $9 week, and when he gets his salary he blows it in in one night and goes to work the next morning as steady as lord"
 The Meriden Republican in an article on the Aging of Whisky says the people of that city must look to their laurels.
 The Republican is tretting over the impos- sible. In Meriden whisky is never allowed | to reach the age of maturity. Meridenites | cannot wait that long.-Ansonia Sentinel. The German crown prince hates every thing English, not excepting his mother. The other day he had an attack of bleed | ing from the nose, and several hands of
 fered handkerchiefs to stay the flow. He
 refused them all, saying: 'The more of
 this - English blood I lose the better" There is such demand for Maine spruce
 gum that there are fears expressed that the
 trees are giving out. A correspondent sug-
 gests that they may be coaxed to give more | if treated as the gum trees of the east are.
 The natives hack the bark with their hatch | cts, and in due time the trees weep gum. | A lemon was picked at Los Angeles, Gal, the other day, that weighed 3 34 pounds, 1 was 12 inches long, and 5 inches in di-
 ameter. The tree on which it grew had
 but half dozen lemons on it's branches,
 but the weight of the fruit bent them al
 most to the ground. The liar who set this
 story in circulation lives in the far off
 west
 | Mrs. Lillie Devereux Blake is out in a very savage attack on Senator Ingalls, for
 having spoken of the American eagle as of
 the masculine gender. She points out the 1 fact that the female eagle is much the
 larger and finer bird. In fact, Mrs. Blake
 desires Mr. Ingalls, to bear in mind that
 the proud bird of freedom, known as the American eagle is a hen.

THE PROTECTIVE TARIFF IN NEW
 ENGLAND.

James L. Cowles, in an open letter to N. D. Sperry challenging him to prove the statement he made concerning the effect of free trade in foreign countries at the Re- publican League convention in New Ha- ven, declares that "no country has ever adopted what you a call protective tariff except to it's infinite harm. go further, and say that unless this so-called protec- tive tariff is speedily modified the small manufacturing towns in New England, in which you claim to be so deeply interested, will, very many of them, at an early day, go out of existence. My fortune is staked in some of these towns, and I think know some things of which you may pos sibly be ignorant" "".
 MT Cowles says that he is both a manu- facturer and farmer and that throughout New England farms are offered for sale without 8 bidder, factories to rent and no one to occupy them. He says that one concern on his road (the Northampton pays $4,000 on it's materials in increased cost of copper and spelter. By reason of oAo AAA oiiOoihOA PoJo %IO3OOO SuoIO1Ao taxes annually on the Norway iron which it imports. Another pays at least 1000 year on Nova Scotia grindstones and Swedish iron.
 'I am to-day" says MT Cowles, ''inter- ested in concern which has lost all it's capital under the tariff, and which for ten years past has been obliged to pay at least $2, 800 year in increased cost of it's materials on account of the tariff could multiply these cases almost indefinitely if I had the time"
 We stand ready to meet you," continues Mr Cowles, 'and to discuss the question before the people. We have no fear of the result. We are neither afraid of the pauper laborers of Europe nor the advocates of commercial slavery st home." MT Sperry when asked about the challenge said he had met MT Cowles at Hartford in debate on the tariff question, and having worsted him very badly on the argument is seeking for new Napoleons in the field of debate and therefore could not consent to renew the controversy. MT Sperry has great con- 6dence in his ability to argue for the re- taining of the burdensome war taxes. He worsted MT Cowles in the debate at Hart ford did hes Of course he did in his mind but if we remember rightly MT Cowles was about the ablest tariff reform advocate that appeared before the committee on federal relations in 1887 and worsted MT Sperry in that debate. A public debate between these two gentlemen would undoubtedly prove interesting, especially to ex-Postmas- ter Sperry.

IT IS dollars to doughnuts that James G. Blaine will again be slaughtered in the name of the grand old party. He is not a very sick man as reported, or at least the republican press, and more especially the Connecticut republican press, would have us believe that he is all right. If such is the case, there will undoubtedly be a strong pressure brought to bear upon MT. Blaine to accept the republican nomina- tion, and the willy statesman will hardly refuse the empty honor

Inconsistent Ingalls,.

John James Ingalls, hurries to deny that he ever was found in such decent company as that which made him the nominee of the Kansas Democrats in 1864. He goes to the pains to recite the names of those in the convention nominating him, and repeats the significant phrase of the Democratic state platform, indorsing not the Chicago plank, but Gen. MeClel- lan's ringing utterance for g more vigor- ous prosecution of the war. And yet, with these facts in his mind-part, in fact, of his own history-this indescribable charlatan alludes to Mcclellan as an ally of rebellion.-New York Star.

John sherman,s Modesty.

Whatever other fate may be awaiting Hon. John Sherman, it is fairly certain that he will never be hanged for his mod esty. The senator is remarkably adept at finding numerous points for admiration in his own character and career. The results of his research in this direction he has embodied in small handbook, uni form with his other works, 'sThe Epic of the Bloody Shirt,' "Lo, the Poor Negror' etc., containing a brief but glowing sketch of his own life.

Senator Sherman is shrewd in not trust ing Foraker to present his case in the Re- publican national convention. He can do 8 good deal better, if he does have to go outside Ohio for it. Not that Foraker is himself in any danger of being nominated. But Foraker himself might think that he was, and in such an event no one knows what might happen.
