Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-03-06
FREDERICK o. PIERCE, Secretary.
THE MAYOR SHOULD VETO TT.

Alderman LuZerne l. Munson alighted from his economical high horse last even ing when he introduced in the board of aldermen resolution appropriating $1O0 toward defraying the expenses of those members of the committee appointed to go to Washington and appear before the ap- propriations committee to advocate bill for an appropriation of $150,0O0 for a postofice building in this city. It is to be regretted that man who has, since he be- came a member of the board of aldermen, opposed the expenditure of money for public improvements, should be instrument al in the voting of the peoples money for purpose so foreign to local matters. One hundred dollars is a small amount of money, but the taxpayers of Waterbury had rather see it expended in this city than that it should be contributed toward junketing trip to Washington. A mem Der of the city government who opposes appropriations that are in the interest of the people and votes away the city's money for purpose in no way connected with the city's interest, lays himself open to criticism. The people want sewers, they want improved streets and are willing, so long as it is expedient, to taxed for these public Improvements; they want a new postofice building, but they do not want the city treasury tapped, even to the ex- tent of $1OO to secure one
 If there is any justice in such an appro- priation for the purpose named then it should go toward defraying the expense of . competent lobbyist, who could go to Washington, present the claims of the city for postoffice building and do something for his money. One hundred dollars would not pay the expenses of two members of the committee to and from Washington with hotel bills. It looks like job to aid members of the committee who do not want to pay their expenses. It is the peo- ple's money that the city is voting away, and it is to be deplored that the democrat ic members of the court of common coun- Gil unwillingly voted for the appropria- tion. If men are to be paid for going tc Washington the public spirited citizens onou1u uA4ooso euou PuISo SIIlASS duI1 Oe fray the expenses of a professional lobby ist. If others want the glory of partici pating in the trip they should pay for it.
 There is, however, still another reason why this money should not be appropri- ated for trip of one or more to Washing ton. The city's charter provides that the court of common council "shall have pow CT to make appropriations for public re- captions, parades and celebrations to an amount not exceeding $10O in any case.' Now, the appropriation made last night is not for public reception, parade or cele- bration. It is for trip to Washington, and the council has stepped outside of its power in making the appropriation.
 It was never designed that this section of the charter should be so construed that if the council wants $100 for any purpose, they can get it.
 The mayor should veto this resolution

BADLY TROUNCED.
st. Paul Gets a Walloping From
the Milwaukee, Nine.

The game between st. Paul and Mil
waukee yesterday afternoon was called
at 2:3O to give the teams an opportunity
to catch the 6 o'clock train for Sioux
City and Kansas City. The batteries
were Anderson and Kemmler and Grif-
filth and Mills, and the visitors won with
ridiculous ease. The young men in St.
Paul uniforms had great difficulty in
hitting Grlffith's twisters to safe places,
most of them pounding the ball straight
at Forster and Pettee. On the other
hand, Anderson, though never hit for
more than two hits in an, inning, gave
several men bases on balls, and these
little incidents were generally followed
by long hits. In the first inning, after
Carroll had gone out ON foul tip, Muir
ply accepted the gift of base, stole
second and scored on MOrrissy's hit to
center. This was the only ran st. Paul
secured, though men were left ON bases
in the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and
eighth innings. Milwaukee began tally
ling in the second and kept it up to the
end. After Lowe had popped up fly
for Reilly to play circus with,
Forster got base on balls. Pettee
then struck out, but Griffith was
given base, and Mills put in a hit to
came up and sawed the air twice and
then hit the little sphere into the center
corner, clearing the bases and going to
second himself. In the third Fuller put
the ball out to center for base and
Lowe hit it over the lattice work at
right field. In the Fifth Maskrey was
given sack as reward for waiting,
and Shenkel's double to left center sent
him home. In the sixth Griffith hit to
right, went to second on a passed ball.
to third on AndersOu's tumble, and to
the plate on McAleer's hot grOunder to
Pickett. In the eighth Patton dropped
hGrifith's easy fly, and Mills and Mask
rey made hits, scoring Griffith. This
made the score to in favor of Mil
swaukee, which, by the way, is exactly
the score made in the second game of
Saturday, with the important difference
that st. Paul won the Saturday game.
Brennan's umpiring was very unsatis-
factory to the spectators, and in one
instance an injustice was done the local
team. With Anderson and Carroll on
bases in the fifth inning, Murphy hit
to Pettee and beat the ball to first, but
Brennan called him out. This made a
difference of at least one run, as Ander-
son ran in on the hit. After the game
the Milwaukee, Chicago and st. Paul
teams took the same train for the South
west. The score follows:

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 22.-A
large number of circulars entitled "To
Americans Everywhere" have been is
sued from the headquarters of the Am
erican party in this city. After stating
ha the national convention OF the party
will be held in this city on the 10th OF
Agust, the national committee asks the
person to whom the circular is directly
addressed ITO see to it that the Ameri-
can constituency of your state, district
or locality, is represented in the coming
gathering of Americans in the nations
capital. If possible, state convention
of Americans in your state should be
called, that delegates at large may be
selected, and prompt action urged in
the several congressional districts.
Where this is impossible call the Ameri-
cans in your district together, whether
few or many, elect officers for district
clab and appoint two delegates for the
district to the convention"
Representatives are also asked from
organizations of patriotic Americans,
and should all other means of
sending delegates fail. the circular asks
that ''some resident of Washington city
who is citizen of your state and whom
you know to be a good American. be
authorized to represent your state or
one of the districts in the convention"
The committee states that the cOnven-
vention has been called in obedience to
an almost universal demand for it by
the adherents of the American party
throughout the country. The princi-
piles of the party are enunciated as fol-
lows:
They demand the careful restriction
of immigration to persons of good char
acter, who are willing to obey our laws
and respect our institutions; require an
educational suffrage and the extension
OF the probationary period to fourteen
years at least: they declare in favor of
our glorious free school system, and
would protect it intact against the as
saults of either opinion or sect; they ask
that American lands shall be owned by
American citizens only; they favor the
permanent and most thorough separa-
tion of church and state, and demand
protection for industrious Americans
from the curse of foreigniSm in whatso-
ever shape it antagonizes our industries

seventh body of the victims of the flood
of last Thursday night was found to-
day on the river bank below town, that

morrow morning. The Cleveland &
Pittsburg bridge over Whisky run, on
the Ohio side, is also being rebuilt. The
Baltimore & Ohio company has large
force of hands on the Pittsburg division,
but preliminary surveys will have to be
made as in the case of a new road,
before much progress can be made.
The surveyors are now at work. A
perfect throng of sightseers were along
the road to Triadelphia to-day. Thous-
ands of people visited the scenes, many

say it is the worst wreck ever seen.

The batting, base running and field
ing averages of the ST. Paul team in the
sixty counting league games, together
with those in the ffteen-inning tie game
with Minneapolis and the st. Louis

Brynan, who has played but once
with the team, leads both lists
with an average of 1000. Nor
rissy, however, really heads the
batting list with an average Of 1857,
while Tuckerman leads in fielding. The
club has been pounding the ball very
hard the past two weeks, and has in
creased its average perceptibly. It's
fielding, however, has been Indifferent
at times, and does not show mp well be-
side that of Its opponents. In base
running Carroll leads Murphy slightly,
and the pair have stolen almost as many
bags as the rest of the team: together.

A Fifteen-Year-Old Murderer
Tells How He Slew
His Victim.

ST. LOUIS, July 22.-1nformation has
been sent from Crittenden county, Ar
kansas, to the effect thNt the grand jury,
which has been investigating the ban
ishment of eighteen negroes by an Or
ganization, has made its report. The
result is the return of nearly forty in
dictments. The grand jury found that
anonymous notes had been sent to a
number of white men by negroes, CIV
ing the whites five days to leave the
county. Upon receiving the threatening
eplstleS. the whites met, armed, and es-
corted out of the county the negroes i'm
plicated. Among those who received
orders to quit the county within five
days were Col. j. F. Smith, the leading
ner, of Crittenden county, j. II.
Stevens, a blacksmith, l.. p.
Berry, lawyer and S. o. Mosby
former magistrate of Marion.
The grand jury succeeded in tracing
the anonymous threats to the Office of
the county clerk, David Ferguson, one
of the eighteen negroes banshed. His
Office was opened and fragments of
anonymous notes, which evidently had
not seemed satisfactory, were found on
the floor. Experts pronounce the hand
writing as that of j. W. Ramsey,
young South Carolina negro, in the en-
ploy of Ferguson as clerk. The imme-
diate motive for the sending of the
warnings was found in the fact that
Ferguson and d. w. Lewis, the negro
county judge, had been indicted by
former grand jury for habitual drunk
enness. the penalty for which was re-
moval from office. The intention was
to create reign of terror and break the
force of the prosecutions. Ferguson
was one of the Arkansas alternates to
the Republican convention at Chicago.
He was serving his third term as clerk
$4,000 per year. The testimony before
the grand jury was highly sensational.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Numerous
inquiries have been made at the navy
department as to what is being done to-
wards repairing the United States
steamer Hartford, Farragut's flag ship,
now in ordinary at the navy yard, Mare
Island, Cal. On the 9th of January
Representative Whltthorne, from the
committee on naval affairs, reported
bill authorizing repairs. The house i'm
mediately passed the bill without Oppo-
Sition, and it was sent to the senate,
where 1t has remained ever since with
out action beyond its reference to a sub
committee of the naval affairs commit
tee. Senator Stanford is chairman of
the subcommittee, and he is absent in
Europe. The friends of the bill are,
therefore, afraid that the bill may not
get before the senate in time for action
at this session. The secretary of the
navy has approved the plans for the re-
pair of the Hartford. and will order the
work to commence as soon as funds be-
come available. Delay in making this
provision will increase the cost, as the
vessel now lies in somewhat exposed
condition in anticipation of the passage
of the bill.

Favorable Wealth er for Wheat and

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The weather
during the week has been favorable for
the growing crops in the wheat and
corn regions of the Northwest. The
recent heavy rains, followed by an ex-
cess of sunseine, have greatly improved
the condition of corn and oats, which
are generally reported in excellent con-
dition, but more rain is needed in por-
tions of Michigan for these crops.
Reports from Kansas indicate that
crops have been considerably damaged
by hail. Reports from Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama
and Mississippi show that the crop con-
ditions have been improved by the fa-
vorable weather during the last week.
More rain is needed in North and South
Carolina, although in the latter state
the weather was favorable for cotton.
In New Jersey and Pennsylvania the
wheat, rice and hay harvests have been
about completed during the favorable

CHICAGO SOCIALISTS.

Resolutions of the Usual Kind
Adopted at the Regular Sunday
Meeting.
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, July 22.-At the socialistio
''town meeting" this afternoon ''Tom-
my" Morgan introduced series of res
olutiOns which were the subject of
heated debate, in which, as usual, all
sorts of charges were banded about.
The resolutions declare in substance
that there exists an irreconcilable and
deadly antagonism between the capital
lists and laboring classes, that this an
tagonism is fostered by municipal, state
and national legislation; that both the
Democratic and the Republican parties
are the agents of the capitalistic class,
and that through them such. legislation
Is secured.
The resolutions, which purport to be
the declaration of principles of the
local socialistic labor party, were finally
adopted.
