THE OLD PARTIES.

Upon what pretense will democrat
and republican campaign speakers
app@s! to their hearers this year?
Heretofore the former have been able
to tell what wonderful reforms they
would institute when they got a
chance; but no, when they have been
in power over three years, things
continue to 90 from bad to worse the
same as before. They have not at
tempted II single reform they prom
lsed, and have done nothing to prove
their administration is of any ad-
vantage to any one but the Office
holders.
On the other hand the republicans
have all along assured US that with
their party out of power the country
would go to the dogs entirely on
short notice, and the fear of change
gave this argument weight with
many: bnt now that they are gone,
while things are no better they are
only growing worse at the same
speed they acquired during the re-
publican regime.
The immense fortunes OF few
thousand people continue to loom
up with the same rapidity. while
several millions continue to exc out
the same precarious livelihood, and
the great army of unemployed con-
tinues to grow. There are also the
same old stories OF workingmen starv
ing in garrets as well as Of strikes,
lockouts, trusts and combinations.
This covers the record of both
these parties, and broken pledges,
unfultilled promises, business fail
eres, industrial panics, hunger and
crime are the chief features. What
supreme confidence in the ignor-
ance of the voters these speakers
must have if they can appeal for con-
tinuance of the administration of
the one or the return to that Of the
other. --Naagatuck 1gitat0r.

EXIT WINSTED PRESS.

Bright, piquant, brave, amusing,
hectoring, wise, rollicking, Press,
farewell You are right when you
say:
II don't believe there was ever such
another paper Us this one published in
Winsted, or in Connecticut either, and |
doubt if there ever will I've. And all the
pimps and purists, and canting moralists,
and scandal mongers, and chronic hypo-
crites-all the tomnoddies and toads in
the community will rise up and say, No,
hope not
But some of the "real good" folks
will remember that they heard the
truth spoken when the Press was
published in Winsted.

TO SETTLE STRIKES.
A Mechanical Device which Flcases
Capitalist Editor.

There Is capitalist paper pub
lished III New \ ork called the Iron
Age which looks after the interests
of employers in general and of iron
mongers in particular. In a recent
issue 1t gave the following dcscrip-
ton of an ingenious device for
settling strikes, which makes in
tcresting reading:
"A small Gatling gun, not much larger
than many children's toys displayed in
shop windows, has been brought out III
the United States. which, however, is
not to serve as such, but for sterner
purpose. The inventing genius has seen
the necessity for an arm which can
successfully cope with the anarchisti,'
element in labors ranks and has brought
out this little gun rs lelp to settle those
strikes which are increasing in frequency
and danger to the peace of law abiding
citizens. This improved Gatling gun,
consisting of five steel barrels, only ten
inches long, with the necessary number
OF wheels and cogs and ratchets, and
terminating in handle. the whole
mounted on brass, has total weight of
only seventy-tive pounds. II is said to
be so easily handled that child can turn
the crank, and grind out bulle,s at the
rate OF eight hundred minute This
small Gatling is intended for police and
city use; and can be fired with equal
facility and rapidity from the cellar up,
or the roof down. 1t can also be fired
while advancing or retreating."
Perhaps some ingenious mechanic
will invent "A machine to successfully
cope with the anarchistic element in
capitals ranks.
This is an age of invention.

NY 100 William ST., New York
The newly elected National Secretary,
August Delabar, arrived April q, and
assumed his official duties on Monday,
April ., On his way from San Francis
co to New York he stopped over at Den
yer, Col, where Union 3i had arranged
for a grand mass meeting, which was a
great success, all the jouneymen bakers
in the city not up to that time connected
with the Union joining that day. The
Denver Union has successfully abolished
some of the evils incidental to the trade;
the hours of labor have been considerably
reduced since their connection with the
National Union.
Union "A, of San Francisco, have en-
trely recovered from their late struggle;
all the principal bakeries employ union
men again. II was fight to maintain
the Union, and the union men won after
a struggle of between two and three
weeks.
Union 81, of San Francisco, is in a
prosperous condition financially and
otherwise.
The detaulting treasurer of Union -,
of Pittsburg, was sent to States prison
for ten months. Union 81 gives due
credit to the Bakers journal for causing
mis- arrest. A vigorous boycott is going
ON against Brase Bros. The Union is
rapidly gaining in membership.
Union 80, of Cincinnati, had grand
mass meeting on the first inst. the re-
suit of which was an addition of twenty
| new members
Union I of New York, will hold a
joint meeting of all the sections, when
the question Of making subscription to
the journal compulsory on all members
will be considered. A boycott was de-
clared against the bakery at sG Rivington
street. A donation was granted the
widow of II deceased member.
Union 30, of Philadelphia, is engaged
in a lively propaganda, At recent
mass meeting twenty-five new members
signed the roll. a new Union, formerly
X. Of l.. assembly, has been added to
the National Union; membership, fifty
| two. ..#
There is a movement among X. of l..
assemblies of our craft to join the Ma
tional Union. We expect five or six new
| unions soon from that source. ..
The indications are, judging from re-
ports received, that the journal will be
made compulsory for all German-speak-
ing members,

Decoration Day" democrats" and
Social. Democrats.

An attempt was made at Berlin to
celebrate the anniversary of the Com
mune and also that of the German
Revolution of lS4S. 1t WIS announ-
ced that Il number of Social Dem
ocrate would proceed to the crmetary
to place red wreaths ON the graves
of those who were shot down, in 1913,
by the order of the old dcspot who
has just died in the odor of sanctity.
AT the cemetery gates the police ar
rested several of those who came with
wreaths, but eventually allowed some
to proceed, and place them Oh the
graves.
At the Grand Hotel, at Berlin,
some of the "moderate' democrats
held meeting in commemoration
of the days of March, 1913. When
a Social Democrat was called for the
chairman refused him II hearing.
The SocIal-l)cmocrats, indignant at
the chairman's refusal, began TO sing

"moderates' ut once called in the

considerable brutality.

FRANCE.
Some Interesting Figures General
R0nlanger, the Adyenturcr.

Ronlanger, the Adyenturcr.
The statements made by some of
the capitalist papers that Boulanger
was supported by the Socialists in
France are misleading. The polling
at the election of The Bouches-
du-Rhone showed the following re-
suit: Felix Pyat (Socialist), 40, 204;
Ilerve CONSERVATIVE, 23,G3S; Fou-
quier (opportunst), T., 40; Boulan-
ger (adyenturer), 053.
Felix Pyat was member Of the
Commune of'7l. Boulanger, fought
against the Commune as a soldier in
the Versailles army and to that ex-
tent is weighted with his share of
the responsibility Of the massacre of
thousands Of unarmed citizens Of
Paris-mcn, women and children.
France has had enough Of NapoIeons.
The Commission appointed by the
French Parliament to report on
Workmcn's Associations has tcrmi-
mated the discussion relating to nd
mission Of workmen's societies to
competition for contracts, adjudlca-
tlons. ETC., for public works and pub
lie supplies army clothing, etc.
The Commission decided that the
workmen might compete for all con
tracts not exceeding $40, 900 without
having to make any deposit as guar
antee. This question Of deposit or
caution money has always been the
great stumbling block in the way of
Trade Unions doing work for the
State without the Intervention of the
middle man.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
A Last Shot from the "Winsted
Press"


A word about the humbug called
civil service reform. This II kid
glove movement and | do not cotton
to it. 1t means government of the
people by the merely learned. 1t
means an aristocracy OF book men,
and an oflce-holding class of CON
ceitod prigs. Book learning is not
to be dcspised, but it does not make
II man wise. II may make II man
wiser, as good clothes, though they
do not make a man good, make a
good man better. Let the people
elect their public servants in indie
pendent local districts. Enough for
the government, State or National,
to prescribe official duties and com
pei their performance by individual
oflce-holders. The danger of cen-
tralization is in the power to appoint
office holders not in the mutiplca-
tion of official duties. If the people
want something worse than the
spols system they should try the
mugwump system of civil service
reform. If they want something
better, let them try the democratic
system above suggested.

An Emigration Agent in Newberry.


On last Wednesday night Mr.. r.
A. Williams registered at the Newber-
ry Hotel, claiming to be travelling in
the interest of some Western railroad,
his object being to take what negroes
who wanted to 60 to Arkansas, over
his railroad. The impression got
abroad that Williams was ar elnigra-
ton agent and was inducing several
families to leave who were under con-
tract for the year, and Williams was
written a note tn leave by the first
train. He did not 90, however, until
the one o'clock train on Thursday.
Wiser counsel prevailed and Williams
was not hurt. He took off only about
five or six with him, and most Of them
from town. THE HERALD AND News
had short talk with Mr.. Williams
and he disclaimed any effort being
used on his part to induce the negroes
to leave; that his only object and bus
mess was to see that whoever went,
travelled over the road he represented;
that he would not, if he knew it, per-
nit one to 90 who was under contract.
It was also reported that Henry
Kennedy, local leader among the ne
groes, had something to do with this
emigration and was possibly acting
with Williams in getting up this party.
THE HERALD AND News saw Ken
nedy yesterday, and when asked about
it said he knew nothing of Williams
coming until he was introduced to
him at the depot on the night Of his
arrival, and had only few words with
him; that he had nothing to do with
the colored people leaving. But he
thought it would be good thing for
some of the colored people 70 leave;
that there were too many here. He
sid he knew he was accused Of con-
nection with this agent, but that be
had nothing to do with it, and then
went on to talk about the rights of the
colored people being denied them by
the courts and so on. When asked if
he knew anything Of one c. A. Ride
out, who was in the county last week,
and was thought to be connected with
this exodus, said he met him,in Chicago
in 1880, in the National Republican
convention, but did not know what
his business here was. "1f you want
to know the cause of the colored peo-
pie leaving and the cause of the dissat-
isfaction among them," continued
Kennedy, "it is to be found in the
work of the last term Of Court at this
place. I hear more talk among them
than I ever heard before, that they had
no rights in the Courts. Don't know
whether many of them will leave, but
I know if they had not been under
contract during the fever there would
have been a good many leave" The
result of the trial of the State VS.. Will
liams seemed to be the cause of the
trouble as viewed by Kennedy. This
was the first intimation we had of any
dissatisfaction among the colored peo-
pie on account Of the Courts.
Nobody objects to the colored people
bettering their condition and going
wherever they please, but their objec-
ton is to these emigration agents COM
ing among them, and, as is always the
result, creating more or less disturbance
and dissatisfaction among the hands,
and especially at this season OF the
year, when nearly all are under con-
tract.
