CHRISTMAS MUSINGS.

RI1ow easy it is to sneer at and say,
81 don't believe.n Incredulity has
become in our age the mark of ignor-
ance. In old times credulity was
the mark of it. But the masses
ever follow the opinions Of the learn
ed men, in time. BY the year 1850
it was the fashion among the learn
ed to decry and discredit everything
like superstition and belief in signs,
wonders, Witches fortune telling,
and the like. The Bible and mira
cles were explained away. BY the
year 1926 the masses generally imi-
tated the learned. Unbelief was
extreme. BY 1850 who believed in
the moons influence, in "water
Witches" or in a thousand other
former creeds of the kind?
A wise old philosopher once said,
at is never safe to discredit entirely
any widespread, long existing be-
lief of the people" And now to-
day we are seeing that he was a wise
man uttering n profound truth.
Slowly, during the past forty years,
has it been discovered that even the
most seemingly absurd superstitions
had some foundations of truth in
them. The moon is now recognized
as the greatest factor in our weather
phenomena. Science declares that
if there were no moon ard no
planets in our system-but our earth
and the sun-each day of the year
would he precisely the same as the
day of the year preceding. And
those who have the management of
great enterprises, requiring supplies
of water, are sure to consult "water
witches.n Some few persons receive
large salaries simply because they
can find metals by their peculiar
sensations in passing over the veins
where they exist. Healing the sick
by touching is much more common
practice than was homeopathy
forty years ago. Wonderful cures
are done at n distance by persons
who never see their patients and use
no medicine or visible communica-
tion. Scientific men of worldwide
fame have been engaged ON crucial
experimenting in the regions of the
mysterious, the awful and unearth-
ly, and report, one after the other, of
wonders surprising the Arabian
Nights. "Behold! They are even
true"
At this Christmas time is 1t not
meet to seriouily reflect on these
things, in view of the fact, that,
while so many are casting about for
new religion with more science
and philosophy in it than faith, and
are looking for new coming of
something, we are rejoicing In the
social and spiritual influence upon
all modern life of Him who said
that they who came after Him
should not only perform the same
wonders that He did, but should
work even greater ones. Truly, eyes
have we, yet see not ears, and hear
not. The great things TO come are
upon us, around us, and even under
our feet. And the question as 20
the future life of even one human
being is Of far more Importance than
all the things of this world put
together, II this mortal is ever TO
put on immortality. MUSE.

ON the fence is a good place to be when there is an excited bull on one side and healthy dog on the other But it is not the place for city fathers of Water bury to be when the question of an in- creased water supply comes up for dis cussion and action. The various phases of the matter have been discussed in these columns and by our city contemporaries, and there is little excuse for any of the fathers alleging want of knowledge as a reason for want of opinion. It is a mighty poor mind that would fail to have convictions on one side or the other on matter that has had the light of publicity turned on it so strongly for the past few months. The matter of water supply should be settled by the present court of common council, and it should be settled to stay for many years to come. There must be no lodging and no sitting on the fence.

weight, but it loses even all the political weight it might seem to have. The in- terests of the state suffer, and have suf- fered for years, because of this factious opposition by fictitious legislature to a governor representing the actual major ity of the state. A large part of its time seems to be spent-and, as results show, vainly-in trying to put the democratic governor Gin a hole." This dog-in-the- manager policy must sooner or later write the death warrant of the republican legislature, and that it may soon be written seems to be the opinion of the Rochester writer and other shrewd political observers.
 New York state is thoroughly and in creasingly democratic, and it seems more than likely that the American sense of fair play will yet avail 10 change the spurious system of representation that now prevails in the state, and wher- ever the republicans are able to make a similar gerrymander.

The Australian ballot, which has found was tried recently in the election at the New York Reform club with consider able success. There were three tickets, one the regular ticket and two by the opposing elements in the club. The names of all three candidates for such closets were put up for the voters and every member retired and marked with a pencil the names he intended to vote The plan worked admirably, and all the members expressed themselves as pleased with it. But its trial at some public election would be a better guide to judge of its availability in this country.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-01-28
DEMOCRATIC NEW YORK

The fact that New York state like on- necticut, while democratic on the pop ular vote, is represented at Washington by republican senators is due to the false system of representation that prevails. Under the system nearly half a million democratic voters are practically dis franchised and strongly republican coun- ties are given double their due represen- tation. By this method the legislature has a nearly two-thirds republican ma- jority in both branches. So unjust, how ever, is the system and so powerful a sentiment is growing up in opposition to 1t that it is regarded by shrewd political observers as certain that in the end the decisive majority given for Governor Hill last November will secure a legis- lature in harmony with the governor.
 A correspondent of the New York Sun writing from Rochester touches on the quarrels and factional feeling that divide the republicans of the state, and draws the conclusion that New York will re- main democratic state for many years to come. He even intimates that when Senator Evarts retires two years hence Governor Hill may possibly be the one to succeed him. Had Warner Miller been elected governor in November, thus taking him out of the way for three years at least, no opposition prob ably would have been made to Tom Platt's ambition for a cabinet portfolio. There would have been a toothsome variety of fat places for the hungry republicans both at Albany and Washington. Not even the entire sur plus of the national treasury could satis- fly all the patriots, but if Warner Miller could have got in the growing and discontent of those suffering from lack of luxuries is mild compared with that among republicans pinched by hunger of office. MT Miller hardly put the case too strongly when, in anticipation of both his own and his rivals rejection for a cabinet place, he congratulated his friends that in such case they might yet be permitted to live in the state.' But this battle for seat in General Harri- sons cabinet has widened the breach that already separates the factions, and it is certain that the majorities given last November for Governor Hill and the democratic state ticket indicate that democracy will be dominant for years to come in the empire state.
 It becomes probable in view of this, and it is so regarded by shrewd politi- clans, that the voters may take it in hand to choose legislature in harmony with the state executive. A fictitious majority constituted as the republican majority now is has not only no moral
