TIRED CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATS

"The New-Haven Register has hoisted a
large and portentous flag of distress over the
State Democratic headquarters, declaring that
there isn't sign of life in the party, and that
If there are any leaders they ought to show up
on the course without losing a moments time
for the flag fell to bad start two months ago
and the race is nearly half run already. We
may as well be frank while we arc upon the
subject says "The Register" and state the
situation as it is. The chances to-day in Con-
necticut are against the Democrats" This
doleful fact has been perfectly well known
from the outset, and if the sole business of a
newspaper were to publish news our melancholy
contemporary would have been spared the
painful confession But "The Registers bust
ness is " to warn, to threaten and commando
and this is the way it goes about it:
What Is the reason for this mastery inactivity! Is
II because the moro active members OF that organza
ton Office holders under the Administration and
therefore afraid to violate the famous order OF Prcs

aciivty"f II this is the reason, which, by tho way
we 1t to them to add is given for their
silence, they should promptly resign and make way
for Others who not bound By an Iron chain TO n
strict line OF official duty. The great mass OF Con
necticut Democrats are Indifferent TO the personality
OF the men who carry On the work Of organization
provided the work Is well done by honest and ex-
perlenced men, they inclined to endure pa
tlcntly tho shortcomings of those whose nests are
feathcred and who remain idle in order not to en-
danger themselves. Tho Democracy demands of their
leaders that they act at once
There is grim humor in this short sermon
which makes it quite worth printing for that
quality alone. But The Register can scarce
ly expect us to suppose that Democratic Office
holders of the State which enjoys the distinc-
ton of possessing the Hon. w. II. Barnum for
a citizen are so far behind the times as to i'm

There was another OF those vexatious " acct
dents' on the Bridge railway last evening, Just
when the biggest crowds wanted to cross the
river The mishap is attributed to the breaking
of cog in the new machinery. Things like that
happen entirely too often on the Bridge.
Thousands of people were delayed last night
ostled about in the toughest manner burned with
hot cnders from the engines that drew trains
crowded to the danger-point. and, generally
treated with no more consideration than SO many
cattle Why shouldn't all the machinery, cables

The nolice will not succeed in covering up
their failure to prevent the burglary in the
First PRESBYTERIAN Church by denying the
correctness of the published accounts when
unable to point out any inaccuracies. IL was
a peculiarly bold robbery, especially In view
of the noise made by the burglars, and the
police should bestir themselves and hunt down
the perpetrators OF this piece of vandalism.

II is related in Democratic circles in this
city that the fat has gone forth from Wash
ington that Colonel II. A. Merriman, who has
represented the XIth District in the House for
four years past, must not be sent to Congress
again. Colonel Merriman, who was elected as
a Protectionist, and, in fact, received the Re-
publican Endorsement in 1886, was one Of the
three Democratic Representatives who had
sufficient courage and independence to vote
against the Mills bill. The Administration is
determined to let none Of them escape.
The drift of political readiustment at the
present time is well illustrated by the action
of Mr.. James A. Whitney, well known as q
patent lawyer, which is described by himself
in another column. He has been lifelong
Democrat. but now, at the age of fifty, he has
broken with the party which has "proved false
to its mission" He has done so, mot as
matter of impulse, but of slow and deliberate
reflection" Such change in such man is
significant. True, Mr.. Whitney supported MIR.

The Death of Tad" Lincoln.

In February, 1862, this fond father was
visited by Il sorrowful bereavement. The
Executive mansion was turned into
,ouse of mourning. Death had chosen a
Inning mark and the beloved Willie, the
pple of his fathers eye, the brightest
Vi most promising of his children, was
I'm from his embrace. The dreadful
oke well nigh broke the presidents
art, and certainly an affection more
lshing never fell to the lot of man. In
lonely grave of the little one lay
led Mr.. Lincoln's fondest hopes and,
-ong as he was in the matter of self
control, he gave way to an overmastering
grief, which became at length a serious
menace to himself.
Never was there witnessed in an Amer
lean household scene of distress more
touching than that In which the president
and Mrs. Lincoln mingled their tears
over the coffin that inclosed the lifeless
form of their beloved child, A deep and
settled dependency took possession of
Mr.. Lincoln, and when it is remembered
that this calamity-for such it surely was
-befel him ut Il critical period of the war,
just when the resources of his mighty in
tellect were most in demand, it will be
understood how his affection became a
matter Of the gravest concern to the whole
country, and especially to those who stood
in close personal and official relations with
him. The measures taken by his friends
to break the force of his great grief and
to restore him to something like his old
time cheerfulness, seemed for while I'M
availing.-Ward II. Lamon.

A Travesty on Justice.

The beauties { p of the American
jury system was fairly brought out,
the other day, in Albany, N. Y.
The case was against Thos. c. Platt,
Quarantine Com missioner of New
York, and the issue was made polit-
ical one. A jury Of Democrats were
summoned, and to one of them the
defense objected on the ground of
non-!ntelligence. This man declared
under oath that he did not know who
was Governor of the State of New
York or President of the United
States. First he said he was 45
years of age, and on cross-examina-
ton proved himself 60. He said that
st. Patricks Day came before the
first of January, and, as between a
Republican and a Democrat, he
should decide in favor of the Demo
crat, and yet the judge held the
grounds of the objection as untenable
and the fellow was permitted to take
his place in the panel. OF course
Platt was beaten. What travesty
on justice

Girls Going ON the Stage.

81 don't think would advise girl to
go on the stage. The only reason for not
doing so is the hardships she must go
through to get u position, the percentage
of failures is SO much larger than that of
successes. Why, leaving out the Mojes-
kas and the Clara Morrises, you can count
on your fingers the ambitious young girls
who have become successful stars. The
great cause of failure is vanity, both with
women and men. A girl says to herself
Il have a pretty face, or "a handsome fig
ure, and when she is before the footlights
that is all she thinks of. So much study,
oh, so much study is necessary to success.
If girl has talent and a steady head,
and must work for living, then, l say,
let her try the stage. Dollars and cents
are the best incentive, because when 1t is
matter of bread and butter she feels
that she must study, must constantly
improve.
1.-The temptations of the stage? Well,
they are not SO great that a girl with the
qualities of success can not resist them.
The rules of theaters nowadays are so
strict that II girl who obeys them us no
difficulty in going right. She must take
care of her health and she must study,
or she will not succeed and il she does
both she has no time to 60 wrong, no
time for midnight suppers or much COM
pany. She must have sense enough to know
that the compliments and attentions of ad-
mirers are not always well meant. There
is, indeed, very little vice on the stage.
Oh, have known so many beautiful lives
on the stage.-Annie Pixley in New
York Mail and Express.
