ers. We believe such a course would
be uuwise. True. the state legislature
enacted a law for the relief of towns
so unfortunate as to have more than
their proportion of bridging to do for
the travelling public, but the members
of the Wisconsin legislature were a
pack of fools. The supreme court de-
clares the law constitutional; but the
judges are weak, sympathetic crea-
lures and don't know much, anyhow.
The County Board of Supervisors of
Pierce county is the wisest body of
men upon the face of the earth; each
member-with perhaps three excep-
tions-knows more than the state leg
islature. the supreme court, and all
the lawyers in creation, and it does
not believe in the law. 1t is useless
to contend against such am aceumula-

nothing but the weak and Intellectual

How TO Make the Spelling Lessons interest
ing for the st and I'd Glasses.
The words for the spelling lessons
should be taken from the reading lessons
and selected in the following manner:
At the close of each reading exercise l
read by thoughts or sentences the read
ing lesson, having the pupils pronounce
or spell IF they cannot pronounced the
hardest words as | come to them. /
write on the board as they pronounce
and so continue throughout the entire
lesson. This takes but very few min
utes. At this time the meaning of the
words is talked Of / omit, however, all
words previously thoroughly learned.
Immediately after selecting the words
each pupil is required to learn, write and
place each IN a sentence, and sometimes
place two or more of these words in one
sentence, undermining the words taken
from the list. This is carefully inspected,
noting the punctuation, capitalization,
and syntax. After the lesson has thus
been carefully prepared, each one pro-
nounces the word he is to spell first, then
spells.
l find this method great improve
ment on the old way Of assigning the
words found in columns at the head Of
the lessons or taking words from the
lesson Just read The classes are much
more interested in Their spelling work
and do not get the idea that the lessons
are composed Of uninf eresting, meaning
less words. It affords good language
lesson.
1t is saving 81 time as less number
Of words are spelled to be pronounced
when the reading work is being prepared
and the lesson IS much more easily
learned by the little ones.

No farther than is necessary to a clear
understanding of the structure of the SEN
tence. For example, just as soon as the
pupil understands the relation of subject
and predicate and that of simple adjuncts
to them cease requiring diagrams of
them but insist upon oral analysis. A.
low the pupil to diagram sentences of the
other classes until he has a reasonably
clear understanding Of them, then cease
diagram work altogether except in ex-

A CABINET OF CURIOsITIEs.

On the assumption that to the victors belong the spoils-which is pretty good re- publican doctrine-and that to the workers belong the rewards, we would suggest to the republican party in New Haven the following cabinet from which to choose. Every one of those named did good solid work for the victorious party yesterday:
 Town agents clerk-Jimmy Kennedy.
 Assistant town agents clerk-Tom Col we'll
 Corporation counsel-'S Statesman" Tom my Sullivan.
 Lamp inspector-'Red" McKeon Che could light the lamps with his head and save matches)
 Janitor of City hall-Billy Higgins.
 Sealer of weights and measures Shanghai Logan.
 Assistant city clerk-Pat Rowley.
 Chief swashbuckler to the republican party-Ananias Troup.
 If there are any more plums to go around give Patsy Higgins and Jimmy Donahue Q chance. They have earned their reward-we hope they'll get it.

THE Irish American heaps coals of fire on the heads of those Irish democrats who voted against Cleveland "because he was a friend of England" by referring to the ap- pointment of his private secretary as fol To ys: General Harrison's first appoint
 ment to office is an Englishmau, Elijah w Halford, editor of the Indianapolis Journal, whom the president-elect has chosen as his private secretary. Halford is the man who kept up the war on the union printers of Indianapolis so long, and had the News a rat office until the national republican committee forced it, for political effect, to adopt the union scale of wages. We gave some selections from it's columns few weeks ago, in which our people were given such charming designa- tions as 'tarriers,' flannel mouthed tramps,' &c. Neither the leopard nor the know-nothing changes his spots; and General Harrison is true to his record"

ACCORDING to reports, the new organiza- tion of workingmen which Tom Barry and other bolters from the knights of1abor are engaged in forming will have headquarters in Philadelphia and will probably be call ed the brotherhood of labor or the knights of industry. The bolters are bitterly op posed to Powderly, and a special effort will be made to gather in ali the clements that are hostile to him. It will not be easy, we think, to get man so we'll quail fled generally to lead organized labor as Mir Powderly. Yet all who have the inter ests of labor at heart will bid MT Barry and his associates Godspeed in their purpose of elevating and promoting the cause of labor and the condition of the working people.

OUR FIRST ANNIVERSARY.

To-day the DEMOCRAT begins the second year of its existence as a daily paper. Our success during the year that has just closed has been great beyond our most san guine expectations, and we look most hopefully to the future. We have been accorded patronage more liberal than we had reason to expect while yet demo- cratic paper in this democratic city was regarded as an experiment, and that is most cheering indication that success is destined to crown our efforts. From the merchants and business men our advertis ing columns have reaped generous yield, from the reading public we have received cordial support, and from the commu- nifty in general we have had an exceed ingly liberal patronage. We can assure our friends in Waterbury that the DEMO crat is no longer an experiment it has come to stay
  columns without restricting the amount of reading matter we have decided to enlarge the DEMOCRAT by the addition of a column to each page.
 In the mechanical alterations involved in the proposed improvement we have met with slight unavoidable delay, so that we are compelled to defer the change until Monday next. Beginning next Monday the DEMOCRAT will have eight instead of seven space available for advertising purposes and make our columns more desirable to advertisers. In other respects the paper will maintain the excellence that has com mended itself with such excellent results to this community, and will add features that suggest themselves from time to time as desirable improvements.
 In presenting ourselves to the continued patronage and good will of the people of Waterbury we do it with the purpose of deserving it and with the determination to keep pace with whatever suggests itself as likely to make the DEMOCRAT what we eventually hope to see it, the leading journal i'll the Brass city

this end. It must be confessed that yes terday's work may build better than even he thought in this direction.
 Yesterdays republican triumph was the work of political syndicate in which Lynde Harrison and Ananias Troup are the great moguls. For several months the organs controlled by these kindred souls have labored along the same lines to the decentralization of the democratic party. No means have been too vulgar, no lies too insinuating, no abuse too foul, no spleen too vindictive, no vituperation too con temptible so long as the one object was furthered of dividing and demoralizing and destroying the democratic party. That they were allowed to do their vile work unhampered, with scarcely feeble protest from an organ that was in po- sition to offset their efforts, is not creditable to the New Haven Register. The editor of the Register, who of all others should have willingly stood in the brunt of battle, can hardly congratulate himself to-day as he contemplates the wreck and the ruin of the democracy that should have had his protection. Had his strong and influential journal-which it is his proud and legitimate boast is read by hundreds where the Palladium and Union are read by one-taken the stand 1t should, had it exposed the foul treachery and unmasked the villainous lies that have marked the base alliance of the New Haven syndicate, had it shown up the history of the black hearted scoundrel who has nestled in every political ism that ever assaulted the democracy, had it made clear to the democratic party of New Haven that 1t possessed some spirit, it would not be grieving to-day for the overwhelming rout of its own president and others who de served better treatment at it's hands. Per haps the triumph of Ananias Troup may read the Register lesson that yesterday $ disaster shows it sadly needed.
 There is a lesson for the New Haven democracy in their Waterloo. It has been read to them these many years, through the never slumbering treachery Of Apanias Troup and gang of the vilest political heelers that ever raised their heads above the slums. If the party is to regain the supremacy it once had, if it is to be puri- fled of the rottenness that has sapped its | life, it must cast out, body, boots and brooches, the unprincipled buccaneer and the blackguard heelers that worked in the l traces with Lynde Harrison. The party should show the door to Apapias TrouE and send him where he belongs, into the republican camp. He has been doing their dirty work for yearc-it is time now to unmask him. Perhaps then the party may regain the unity and harmony and confidence to roll up the majorities that once made New Haven the Gibraltar of Connecticut democracy.
 Until this is done the merry war in the democratic party must go on, and yester days work will but have completed the first chapter.

INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE.

An experiment which will be. watched with exceeding interest in America is that which has recently been inaugurated in Germany under the auspices of the govern ment, of industrial insurance. This in surauce as hitherto carried on in Germany has been limited to the payment of 8 stated sum, equivalent to half wages, to those wage earners who have met with ac- cidents, and to those who have succumbed to sickness from any cause. These are two distinct branches of the insurance service, the accident insurance furnishing u guarantee of income 10 the workingman for the space of thirteen weeks or three months. After that time if he is not in a condition to undertake daily work, he comes within the scope of the insurance against loss by sickness. Provision is also made in those cases where the accident or sickness results ill death for periodical relief payment when the deceased leaves behind him family whose age incapaci- tates them from earning their own living.
 The system of industrial insurance was started few years ago at the suggestion of Prince Bismarck. It was at first con- fined in it's application to those wage earners who were engaged in certain e1- tremely hazardous occupations. Two years ago it's scope was continued so as to include all wage-earners, and there are now about eight million workers whose social welfare is thus protected. In the development of the scheme. to which the reichstag is devoting attention, it is pro-
 posed now to arrange for pension to be paid to all wage-earners who have arrived at certain advanced period in life, and to those who have become. permanently in- capacitated from earning their own living. The amount of the pension will be regu- lated on the basis of the average wages the subject has been receiving, but in all cases care will probably be taken to make the pension large enough to secure to them during old age all the necessities and some of the comforts of life.
 Whether or not this scheme of in- | dustrial insurance based on governmental gratuities is helpful to those who must l toll for their daily living, it is certain to | attract extensive attention throughout the world, and nowhere more than in Am erica. It would seem, from casual in- quiry into the workings and results of the system, that it does, to some considerable extent, put premium on sloth and shift lessness. If on reaching an age that pre- sumably entails manual incapacity the
 worker is assured of a pension, he is very
 liable to lose much of the incentive that
 moves him to industry and thrift in his younger days. And that sense of man. hood and independence that is the glory of l honest labor where the future is depen- dent on its own eSertions is not likely to thrive in the assured anticipation of pen sion. As means of competition between government and socialism the scheme may succeed in Germany, and as such the out come will be watched with interest in America, but it could never find favor with the wage earning classes of this land. l Only the drones iu our busy industrial
