so fnr below .iioss exacted By
the combinatian of this coun-
try that every purchaser of a
printing outfit could save hun
dreds of dollars if he were permitted
to buy in the cheapest market Nor
does the benefit of this increased cost
to the American public give any adj
vantage to labor. The work of type
making is done-very largely by scODseS
and children. They are paid the Lowest
current nldrke: rate of toG1es. differing
little from that prevailing in other
countries. The whole number of firms
engaged in the business in the United
States is only about eight or ten. And
the managers of these are able to get
together us they have done. and, by
the help of the tariff. to advance their
prices enormously. not one penny OF
the increase going into the pockets of
labor. Every newspaper in the coun-
try must pay this tribute. Every
reader of a newspaper is affected by
the price which he must pay for sub
scription and advertising. Every man
who has hand-bill or poster printed
must contribute his share to the inor-
dinate profits of Observation-Disclosures of
type. This is how an interchangeable
tariff works in particular instance.
1t might be worth while for those who
feel the burdea in this case to look into
the working of tariff laws in other par
ticulars. and see whether taxes high
enough to foster such monopolies arc
an unmixed blessing. So. Paut Pio-

may be Interested in the following
statement of facts, printed III the Free
born County Standards:
GYe have been favored with q circular from q
dirm of type-founders which, although highly
interesting, is wrongly entitled. 1t IS entitled
important Notification" whereas it should be
-tStand and Deliver" Without the least ex-
splanation in the way of justification reason
and without any ceremony. il briefly and bold
ly says: "At the ffty-sixth meeting OF the
Type Founders Association OF the United
States at New York April IL and II, 1883, the
following advance in rates, TO take effect
and after May ], 1888 was unanimously adopt
ed Then follows a scale of prices twenty per
cent. in advance of the present prices. The
profits of type-making are now fully fifty per
cent; there has been advance in cost OF
material or in the price OF labor, there is not
increased demand, and this twenty per cent.
. advance is simply a robbery OF much more
than this organized gang of plunderers have
heretofore exacted. 1t Is Impossible for pub
lishers and pr. nters to advance rates. owing to
the natural and active competition between
them, aud in consequences they must 'stand
and deliver"
With one exception this is wholly
and literally true. There has been
some increase in the cost of the ma
4erial of which type is made. There
is notable advance in tin, under the
operations of trust" and an in
cre,-se in the price of other metals less
important as factors in type-making.
But these changes. which are given as
the alleged reason for advancing list
prices of type, are by no means suffi-
cient to warrant the action of the
'.ccmbine." If any ono inquiries how
it is able to levy this new tribute on

South American Mosquitoes.

Some ludicrous stories are told about
adventures with the mosquitoes. Ihave
been solemnly assured that often when
they have attacked boat and driven
its captain and crew below they have
broken the windows of the cabin by
plunging in swarms against them. and
have attempted to burst in the doors
Although this may be something of an
exaggeratiOn. it is nevertheless true
that frequently horses and cattles after
the most frightful sufferings. have died
from mosquito bites on board the YES
sells. Not long ago herd of valuable
cattle were being taken from the
United States to a ranch upon the Mag
dalena river, and became SO desperate
under the attacks of the mosquitoes that
they broke from their stalls and all
were drowned. Passengers intending
to make the voyage usually provide
themselves with protection in the shape
of mosquito bars, head nets and thick
gloves, and when on deck are COM
PEELED to tie their sleeves around their
wrists and their pantalOons around
their ankles.-AmericGsS Magazine.

THE ELEVEN O'CLOCK LAW.

various Opinions as to the Decision of
 the Supreme Court.
 The decision of the Supreme Court of err TOTS in the case of State vs Marcus He'll n ann of this city for violating the il o'clock law created considerable surprise and was one of the principal topics of conversation among the lawyers this morning The saloon keepers were very cautious and closed their saloons as usual Saturday night and will probably continue to do so until they are sure that they can do otherwise with impunity. A leading lawyer and one of the oldest members of the Waterbury bar, when asked what is the effect of the Supreme Court decision, said:
 "It establishes the fact that where two bodies have concurrent jurisdiction the one first taking action acquires the right of jurisdiction. If the Court of Common Council had fixed the closing hour at Il o'clock and the Selectmen had subsequently voted to fix the hour at 12 o'clock the action of the board would be nugatory But the very reverse of this was done and consequently the Selectmen's action was law and the action of the Court of Com mon Council amounted to nothing"
 City Attorney Terry said he had not seen the decision, knew nothing about it | only what he had seen in the papers and could not tell what its effect would be. Prosecuting Agent Colley was asked what effect the decision would have upon prosecutions. 'As I understand it." said MT Colley, s'the decision effects last years licenses only. My future claim will depend entirely upon that taken by the selectmen this year. If they vote to extend the time to 12 o'clock, why that's another question J | A number of leading saloon keepers were interviewed but they did not seem to care much wether the hour was extended or not

AT THE OPERA HOUSE THIS WEEK

Harvard Quartette Tonight con the
 Trail' and s'Zitka'' to Follow.
 There will be four performances at the Opera House this week, not the least i'm portant of which will be given this evening by the Harvard Quartette, assisted by an accomplished pianist, 8 noted soprano and the great humorist, Marshall P. Wilder. The programme includes popular college songs, piano and vocal solos and selections by MT Wilder. There are 15 numbers on the programme, which will undoubtedly be prolonged by recalls. A frst-class en- tertainment is assured. A few good seats remain unsold.
 Thursday evening Peck & Fursman's Dramatic Company will present the border drama, ''On the Trail, or Dan1 Boone, the Pioneer" The Williamsport (Pa) Sunday Breakfast Table says the piece sis pic turesque and realistic, and gives an accur- ate delineation of the pioneers life in the early days. There are many thrilling sit nations, and not too much blood-letting and scalp-taking, which generally glut and spoil plays of this nature. Dashes of humor brighten up the action at judicious inter vals." Capt Jack Crawford, the poet scout, takes the leading character and is support ed by good company.
 The romantic Russian drama ''Zitka'' will be given at three performances at the Opera House this week, Friday and Satur- day evenings and Saturday matinee. It is 8 charming play, full of dramatic situations and entrancing climaxes if well presented, and the company that presents it here this week is said to be good.

 The old Story Revived-Surveyors Going
 Over the Ground Again.
 "A gentleman who has been down the Naugatuck Valley" tells New Haven Register reporter that surveyors are at work surveying for line of railroad from An sonia to connect with the New England at Union City. Surveyors he says have been seen working as far north as Beacon Falls He further says: ''The business men of this section Waterbury, will gladly welcome the new road. It will in consequence aid the New England people in the develop ment of their system Trains can be run over the Derby from New Haven and on the new parellel to Waterbury and from there directly to Boston over the New Eng land. The freight business of the Nauga- tuck valley is immense and the new road will probably get it's share. In my opinion the parallel will be used to run through passenger trains from New Haven to Bos- ton"
 The Derby railroad officials admit that surveyors are st work but for what they profess not to know. President Clark said he had heard so many rumors that he didn't distinguish this as anything new or startling He did not know whether such scheme would be accomplished, and did not seem to care much.

These are the tickets for vacancies on the various boards, and if an attempt is made tonight to fill those on the police and fire boards there is likely to be blood on the moon. The caucus which nominated Mir Thompson for Fire Commissioner and MT Calvin for Police Commissioner, was not as harmonious as it might have been, from all accounts. Two members, who are said to favor Commissioner Connolly, absented themselves and the opposition had smooth sailing, but it is said that when the choice of a successor to MT Connolly comes up in the Court of Common Council the water will be slightly rippled, and that Connolly will win after all at least if he is not elect ed MT Thompson will not be. A number of republicans, it is said, favor Connolly as against Thompson, and will vote with the disaffected democrats, while on the other hand Thompson's friends say that he being the caucus nominee will of course be elected.
 In the republican caucus T. R. Martin got of the 15 votes for police commits sioner, three being cast for P. McMahon, with three scattering. For clerk of the Board of Councilmen he received of the ii votes cast. The votes, however, were made formal and unanimous. Democrats who ought to know, say that there is a movement to defeat Martin for clerk, and elect Charles s. Chapman to that position. It is an open secret that there are republi- cans who would be willing to slaughter the Captsin, but it is doubtful if they do it. A democrat to-day was willing to wager that Martin would be defeated for clerk and Police Commissioner There was con siderable wire pulling all round and the result will be awaited with anxiety

THE COLLECTION OF GARBAGE.

The City has no Money to Carry on
 the Work.
 Complaints are made in all sections of the city about the collection of garbage. Many people have heard that the city has for six months been collecting the garbage but have never seen any evidence of the existence of such a department. Others have had occasional reminders by inter mittent calls, but the present system is a one-horse affair. James Sutton is hired by the city, by the day, to collect garbage, but what can one cart do in the way of collecting garbage in city of nearly 30,0OO inhabitantss MT Sutton is at work con- stantly, doing the best he can, trying to please everybody and pleasing nobody. It is an annoyance to people to have such a eepartment They expect that their garb- age will be taken away and leave it in the back yard. It accumulates and no one calls for it. If the city made no preten- sions to such department, people would dispose of it in some way themselves. The Board of Health have showed a disposition to inaugurate system of garbage collec- tion, but can get no money from the Court of Common Council to carry on the work with. Bids for the work were recently opened but could not be awarded because of lack of funds. It is to be hoped that the incoming Council will take steps to es- tablish a systematic collection of garbage.

A Rosy Checked School Marm Throw,
 Out, but Escapes Uninjured.

Out, but Escapes Uninjured.
 John Jenks of Mill Plain hitched pair of young colts into his Carriage this afternoon and..drove to this city to do some errands. Accompanying him was a rosy checked school teacher named Dimon. It was 2 o'clock when they stopped in front of Dr Gregory's office on Grand and Leaven- worth streets. MT Jenks went into the doctors office, leaving Miss Dimon in the carriage. He was gone some time and the colts became uneasy, and finally expressed their disapproval of being left so long without exercise, starting toward Bank street. Miss Dimon held the ribbons, but she who had yielded the ruler at Mill Plain was no match for pair of skittish colts, and they turned the corner at lively rate, the carriage running on two wheels as they caromed the curb. Miss Dimon was thrown out and dragged short distance, the ami mals dashing on and leaving the vehicle in front of the incompleted Masonic Tenn pie. They continued through Exchange Place to East Main street, where Henry B. Kerchen stopped them. The harness was broken, but the carriage was not scratched Miss Dimon picked herself up uniniured and waited at the Waverly restaurant until the team was ready to take her home.

The Supreme Court of errors has handed down the decision in the case of Augustus s. Chase and Augustus M. Blaksley, both of this city, administrators of the estate of Nelson Hall, late of New Haven, versus legatee of S. w. Hall, and others, and no error is found,. The action was an adjudi- cation upon the thirteenth clause of the will of the late Samuel w. Hall of Water bury, to determine whether the plaintiff if should pay to children of Hopkins P. Hall certain specific shares of bank stock or should pay to them s1O,0OO in money. The judge in tho Superior Court decided that $10,0OO should be paid to them in money, and the same view is taken by the Supreme Court

OUR CHRONOLOGICAL REcoRD-1ss7.

We published on Saturday an elaborate ly prepared table of the events of 1887. We reproduce it to-day with some emend- ations, principally for the supply of new subscribers for the new year, and at the request of many of our old friends. We feel the less hesitation in this course be cause of the paucity of telegraph dispatch es to-day. The telegraph operators require holidays as well as other people, we suppose newspaper workers included. Indeed, many of our contemporaries in other cities are taking holiday to-day, but the DEMO GRAF thus early in it's existence did not deem it advisable to take second recess within week.

THE PARISH FREE FROM DEBT,

A Pleasant Announcement to the Par
 ishioners of the Church of the Immac-
 ulate Conception.
 The congregation assembled at the lO:3O mass at the Church of the Immaculate Conception yesterday morning were pleas antly surprised by statement of the par ish's temporal affairs made by the pastor, Rev Father Mulcahy, in the form of an annual report of the finances of the parish. The receipts for the year were S4o, ,OOO, and the disbursements $44, 900. The parish, he announced, was free from debt, the last encumbrances having been removed during the year. A note of s5,OOO held by the Citizens Bank, one of 1000 held by the Dime Savings Bank had been paid, and also moneys to the amount of about S3, OOO loaned from societies. During the year $17, ,5OO had been paid on the parochial school, and there remained due only $500 to defray which there is $953 in the treasury.
 It is proposed to remove the East Main street school from it's present site and build thereon brick building, the lower portion to be used for stores and the upper stories to be constructed so as to be con venient for Sunday school purposes and society meetings The present building has been the property of the parish since 1847 and was purchased of the Episcopal society It is now substantial building and it is thought it can be disposed of for 2 reasonable sum.
