Emperor William Never Smoked,

The late emperor of Germany never smoked, which may account for the fact that his digestion was absolutely unim- paired; but whenever any of his officers dined or took supper with him -he was wont, when the coffee was brought in, to ask: "Has any one of you gentlemen a cigarette to spareS'' and selecting one from the cases eagerly proffered to him, to light it, to draw from it one puff of smoke, and then let it go out as though inadvertently. Knowing full well that nine -tenths of his guests were confirmed smokers, precluded by etiquette from in- dulging in their favorite habit until the example should be set them by their sov- ereign, the emperor waived his own strong dislike to the scent of tobacco in order that they might not be baked of any accustomed pleasure at his table, Pittsburg Bulletin.

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC CLUB.

THE formation of a second democratic club in this city may help to unite the party's forces and may not. If both clubs are conducted properly and pull together.
 much good can be accomplished; but if petty politicians try to shape tho policy of either organization to gratify personal am bition, or fatten their pocket books at the expense of the democratic party, they must be4squelched. The DEMOCRAT has no bones to pick with anybody. We are in the field to champion the cause of the democracy, and we will hew to the line, let the chips fall where they will. Bossism has been the curse of the Waterbury democrcy for several years, the .leech that has sucked the life out of the party, and it is time a halt was called. The DEMOCRAT shall watch closely both organizations and will applaud or condemn their actions as they deserve.

 THE Hartford Times, which is good enough democratic authority for anybody, sets at rest the ignorant and spiteful asser- tion by newspapers and their Washington correspondents in relation to William H. Barnum. Says the Times: t'It has been asserted very positively that he is secretly. at work to prevent the re-nomination of President Cleveland. A more utterly wrong and absurd assertion could not well be made. MT Barnum has at no time been at work, secretly or openly, or in any way opposed, to the presidents re-nomination on the other hand he is, and has been, from first to last, the friend and supporter of the. president. But it seems to be a part of the destined course of the republi can newspapers to wholly misapprehend and misrepresent MT Barnum."

The Population of Iowa.

Iowa lies as near as may be at the geo. graphical center of the United States. As might be expected from this situation it's population has been drawn from all direc- tions. The census of 1885 shows that of 1, ,753, ,990 inhabitants only one-half were born in the state. Of the 500,OO0 people who have emigrated to Iowa from other states, 10000 were born in New England, 160, 900 in the middle states, 60, 900 in the southern states, 24O. GOO in the other states east of the Mississippi and 10000 in the western states and territories. Of the 300, 900 foreign inhabitants of the state, Germany has sent most, 120, 900, followed by Ireland, Az, 1000, and Norway, 27,OOO.- New Orleans Times-Dem0crat
