DEMOCRATIC DUTY.

''Fas est ab hoste doceri" We are not particularly favorable to the use of foreign phrase in newspaper columns, but really the wisdom of the ancients is so terse and tempting that there is no avoiding at time the illustrative use thereof. "It is well to learn from the enemy" comes in with par ticular significance in respect of the forma- ton this week of Young Mems Republi- can Club for Waterbury, suggesting the question: What are the Democrats, young or old, doing in the matter of preparation for the time which is coming, and will come whether they are prepared or not The Republicans declare that Connecticut is doubtful in this Presidential year, and to make earnest effort for resolving the doubt into a certainty, for their party, is the object of the new organization. Dem ocrats have as much at stake in the con- test as have Republicans; ay, more; for whilet the other side yearn for a renewal of the power held for twenty-five long years; we, on our part, have not only to contend for victory but to retain the prize of
  verse. Come, let us learn from the enemy let the young enter into preparatory or ganization with all their earnest enthusl- asm-let the old give to the work all the aids of experience and judgment-but let no man taking pride in the name of Demo- crat forget his duty in the coming crisis through indifference or over confidence.
 We know that Democracy in Waterbury and along the Valley of the Naugatuck is sound at heart; we know that when the day of trial comes the soundness will be ex- hibited in service; we know that eve' y man will do his part in fixed allegiance to the principles of his long devotion. But we want to associate with the individual fidel- ity combined zeal-that when the day of battle comes we shall not go forward as an undisciplined host-disintegrated and as a consequence dismayed-but in one proud phalanx knowing what we have got to do and how we are going to do it.
 This is not our first time of asking, nor will it be our last, unless some steps be taken to the desired end. We seek not to dictate; but simply in our individuality as a Democrat to urge what we deem a pre- requisite to all success. Ours is the only Democratic daily paper in the whole range of the Valley of the Naugatuck, and we should be untrue to our principles and faithless to our obligations if from any false motive of delicacy we abstained from performance of the duties we have taken upon ourselves to perform. We have no political axe to grind-no object of per sonal ambition to subserve; and if we be disposed to ascribe Democratic inactivity in our City and neighborhood to these in fuences, or either of them, we shall do sc with courtesy. Well, the way to effect 8 cure for the prevailing apathy is to repu diate rings, and place the party beyond the control of cliques. Democracy of itself is a platform strong enocgh and wide enough for any honest man to take his stand on but the platform will be weak without the essential plank of organization to sustain

of course. the more jealous assistance of the sons of the soil-the Royal Irish Constabu- lary. The aged have been cast out as we'll as the young-the sick as well as the healthy-and in the dreary winter time they have to camp out as best they may in order that the law should take it's course and the foreigners interests be subserved. Some die of the exposure-others live with the desire for reprisal and an expectancy of the opportunity. Often the wild justice of revenge overtakes the tyrant and the gallows then completes the work. And this is improvement
 Disaffection is not the accompaniment of an improved condition of a country; nor are coercion laws and prison cells corrob- orative ingredients of the happy condition claimed by ministers of the crown. In Dublin Castle the Scottish Chief Secretary of Ireland is the chief executive of his own infamous enactment He framed the measure and presided over it's progress in the House of Commons, and when, after passage in the House of Lords it became law, he was invested with the supreme power of using the instruments of torture he had devised. At one fell swoop he stamped out all semblance of natural and national liberty in the land; in the vulgar phrase he knocked the people of Ireland down and then kicked them for falling; he caused manacles in reality to be put on the limbs, and he gagged the possibility of free speach as effectively as if the expedi- ents to enforce silence in the olden-time had been revived. He abrogated trial by jury by his statu; ory enac ments and then took care that the provisions of the law were not evaded or avoided. An obedient local magistracy, appointed by the Castle, were of course ready to do the Castles bidding-then there are resident or stipen- diary magistrates paid by the Crown to assist the local scoundrels-and next the appellate judicature who hold place enc claims of promotion on the same tenure and all these constituting the English garri son in Ireland have reduced Ireland to con dition never exceeded in the worst of old
 time old-country despotisms. The Irish ar not free to speak, to act-hardly to think. Nc

 retrograded, not only to the worst, but ia

THE IMPROVED CONDITION OF IRE
 LAND.

''The force of humbug can no farther go" We learn by cable dispatches that to- day at the Ministerial offices at Downing street, London, Cabinet Council will be held-has been held we suppose by this time-for the purpose of moulding, or man ipulating that piece of puppet phraseology called the Queens speech at the opening of Parliament next week. There would be nothing new in this. It is a solemn con- clave held at the opening and close of every session-the first, to outline proposed legislation; and the second to give congra tulations on the good achieved-not forget ting thanks to the faithful Commons for the supplies needful for the State and for the most unneedful behoof of royal per sonages and unworthy pensioners on the Civil List. The ''speech" is sgenerally opti mistic in it's utterances. The Governme nt whose outspeaking it is makes a point to claim true statesmanshlp in it's rules and proclaims success as a proof of it's wisdom. But never in the history of such Actions and fallacies was anything more outrage ous suggested, if the cable anticipations be well founded; then that ''the speech will also congratulate Parliament on the I'm proved State of Ireland!'
 Improved Ireland before the potato failure in Ireland in 1847 had population of nearly nine millions living in compara- tive happiness, plenty and security. Ire land too day has a population of less than five millions; and her people are homeless and foodless in many parts of the land; while in every district of the four provin- ces there is danger and despair and de ti- tuition, hopelessness and humiliation. nd this is Improvement Yes, the improve. ment that would improve Ireland out of national existence and doom her people to the convict cell, or the cofinless grave o1 the emigrant ship.

 Combinations of moonstones and cats eva oI tiger eye stones for gentlemen's link sleeve buttons are new and popular
 Striped neckwear is to take short vaca- tion. More and greater variety than ever before of broken figures will be the rule. Cane heads are now popularly made to carry matches, timepiece, cigarettes, each ous, gum, pins, change, scent, or 2 slug of rye.

 For wear with the new flannel shirt exquis- ite scarfs are shown, made of delicate checked, stripped and tinted cashmeres. The interest in them is enhanced by the fact that H. R. H. wore one at recent ''meet."
 A new fad among the dudes is to carry balanced between the thumb and foreGnger of the right hand huge cane, around the center of which is tied bright colored rib bon with streamers. The girls tie them on Big furnishers have special figured silks woven for them in Paris, but say they lose in the long run, as no less than 100 yards can be had of any one pattern, and one failure will reduce the profit on the whole pro- |. duction.

New YOrk'S Leisure Glass.

London, says New York letter to the
San Francisco Argonaut, has many morn
ing concerts, fisheries exhibitions, horti.
cultural exhibitions, private views, the
everlasting Zoo, and an endless array Of
amusements of mild and taking charac.
ter, calculated to assist the leisure class
of the English metropolis in killing time.
New York, which apes London in its
amusements, is showing tendency in the
same direction. We are now forming a
leisure class here. 1t goes slow, but it
goes. Just now it consists largely OF
gamblers, with sprinkling of night
editors, younger sons, ruined tinanciers,
club men who can not afford to play
Wall street, actors, college boys home for
vacation, government employees and
FOUNDERS. The younger sons form pic
turcsoue element. They seem to be use
full to the ladies and they wear very good
clothes, so that the gamblers and round
ers do not object to them particularly.
That this leisure class will in time grow
large is evident. The number of younger
sons and society men who have nothing
to do but amuse themselves increases
every day. There is now very consid-
erable number Of them who have no more
arduous aim in life than that of killing
time. The women who have leisure are,
of course, limitless as to numbers. They
are the strongest factors in promoting
morning entertainments. The lectures.
readings and concerts given in the mid
die of the day are 100 per cent. greater
than five years ago.

Lord BYRON on America.

A discussion having arisen between
two friends, the other evening, as to
whether Lord Byron had ever written
anything eulogistic on America, search
was made, and the following eloquent
tribute, says the Aryonaut, was discov-
cred in the "Ode to Venice" written in
the year 1919:
The name Of Commonwealth is past and gone
Ger the three fractions Of the groaning
globe;
Venice is crushed, and Holland deigns to own
A sceptre, and endures the purple robe;
II the free Switzer yet bestrides alone
His chainless mountains, tits but for q time,
For tyranny of late is cunning grown,
And in its own good season tramples down
The sparkles of our ashes. One great cline,
Whose vigorous offspring by dividing ocean
Are kept apart and nursed in the devotion
or Freedom, which their fathers fought for,
and
Beuueathed-a heritage of heart and hand,
And proud distinction from each other land,
Whose sons must bow them at a monarch's
motion,
As ifhis senseless sceptre were wand
Full of the ragic of exploded sclen:e-
still one great cline, in full and free defiance,
Yet rears her crest, unconquered and sublime,
Above the far AClantlc.-She mas LauSut
Her u-brethren that the naughty flag,
The floating fence of Albion's feebler crag,
May strike to those whose red right hands
have bought
Rights cheaply earned with blood. Still,
still, for ever
Better, though each mans life-blood were a
river,
That it should flow, and overflow, than creep
Through thousand lazy channels in our veins,
Damned like the dulrcanal, with locks and
chains,
Three PAGES, and then faltering. Better De
Where the extinguished Spartans still are
free,
In their proud charnel of ThermoPyla,
Than stagnate in our marsh; or DER the deep
Fly, and one current to the ocean add,
One spirit to the souls our fathers had,
One freeman more, America, to thee!

Obeying Orders.

On the Russian frontier it once hap
pened that an officer was playing at cards
with friend, when Jew was trying to
SNUG lie himself into the Russian empire
without propr wise of his passport. The
sentinel on guard arrested him and re-
ported to the officer. "All right, said.he.
Hours afterward the sentinel again asked
what he was TO do with the Jew. The
Captain, furious at being interrupted,
shouted: "Why, deuce take the Jew!
Hang him. The Captain went on play
ing until the morning, when, suddenly
remembering the prisoner, he called the
soldier and said: Bring IN the Jew ~
"The Jew2" said the amazed soldier;
sebut I hanged him, as you ordered. "
"What?" said the Captain, 'you have
committed murderw He arrested him,
and the Observation-Disclosures to the
Emperor. Ineuiring, before signing SO
serious a document, and learning how
matters stood, the Emperor decided that
the soldier, who, without reasoning, had
implicitly obeyed so extraordinary an
order of his superior, was to be made q
corporal; that the officer, who, while on
duty, for the sake of gambling had given
the murderous order, was to be sent to
Siberia, and that his pay was to go to
the family of the poor Jew who had so
iniouitously been murder ed.-New York

The BishOD'S Question.

Modestv is an attribute of true great
ness, and men of real learning are never
pompous. Any frecklcd and saturnine
school-boy can ask questions that it
would puzzle ten volume encyclopaedia
to answer; and confusion is ant TO over
take the pretentious individual who tries
to impress his hearers with the false idea
that he ''knows everything in all the
books"
A story is told of a certain bishop who
addressed a large assembly of Sunday
school children and wound up by asking,
in very paternal and condescending
way: "And now, is there a-a-n-y little
boy or a-a-n y little girl who would like
to ask me question:"
After pause he repeated the question:
is there a-a-n-y little boy or any lit
Ir girl who would like to ask me a
ucstion?"
4 little shrill voice called out ''Please,
,ir, why did the angels walk up and
down Jacobs ladder when they had
wings2"
"0h, ali, yes, I see," said the bishop.
"And now, is there a-a-n-y little boy or
a.a-n-y little girl that would like to an
swcr little Mary's qusstion"- Youths

A Rule for Runaway Horses.

President Bcckmt n, of the New York
Park Commissioners, said to a Sun re-
porter: zone rule for persons behind
runaway horses would be of great value
if they could only remember and adopt
it. That is to stay in the vehicle as long
as possible. That, like every other rule,
of course, has its exceptions. No sensi-
BILE person will stay in vehicle that IS
about to plunge over a precipice. or be
dashed to pieces against wall of rock,
if escape from it is possible. even at
great hazard. But in every case l can
now recall of fatal runaway accidents IN
the Park, the persons would have saved
their lives, and probably have escaped
any serious injury, had they refrained
from jumping out. The sad accident by
which Mrs. Pendleton lost her life is
case in point. In this, as in other in.
stances, the runaway horses were stopped
within a minute after the fatal lie was
made, and without even injury to the
vehicle to which they were attached.
Above all things, then, I would recon-
mend to persons behind runaway horses
don't jump. Unfortunately, however,
reoplc seem to lose their heads in the ex-
citement of the moment, and appear to
think only of parting company with the
