CALL THEM DOWN.

Complaints have been coming in that roads leading into the city are disregard ing the orders recently issued by the rail road commissioners and the company off cers for the suppression of the whistling nuisance during certain hours of the night. If suchlbe fact the the offending engineers should be brought up with a sharp turn.
 The prohibitory orders were issued in compliance with strong popular demand on the subject and as a result of the hear ing recently held before the railroad com missione1s when it was clearly shown that there was much unnecessary whistling and consequent disturbance of the nervous equilibrium of our citizens. They were not formulated or published for a joke. It has not been shown that there has been any popular desire for return to the old system or that it rests with the engineers to determine whether or not there shall be such a return. We are rather of opinion that the feelings of Wa; terbury people are as strongly committed as ever against locomotive whistling at night, and that until there is an entire revulsion of sentiment, of which there are certainly no signs yet, it would be we'll for the engineers to carry out to the letter the orders of their superiors.
 We would advise the festive engineers to call down their whistles or ask their employers to call them down from the cab. Either or both would suit the tired people whose slumber is disturbed by the whist ling nuisance.

IT might be nice legal question whether Prosecuting Agent Colley was'nt engaged in secular work last Sunday when parad- ing around the Abrigador in the guise of a liquor spotter. The morality of his act is sufficiently determined by the contempt in which he is held by all self-respecting per sons. Most prosecuting agents are willing to leave the dirty work to the regular spotters, but there doesn't seem to be any depth of dirt to which Colley is unwilling to defcend: when there is dollar to be picked up. He is fair type of the money scratcher as developed by the liquor laws of Connecticut.

When the Bishop of Edinburgh was in tnis necticut, at Middletown. Habited in the English Episcopal costume of knee brooches and black silk stockings, he alighted from the train and was at once accosted by Bishop Williams, although the two men had never met each other before ''Tell me," :" asked Bishop Williams after the first greet ings, "how did you know mel" 70, by your face," replied his Lordship of Edin- burah. 'I have one of your photographs, you know. But tell me in return how you knew mel" 70, by your legs" replied Dr. Williams, glancing with an amused smile at the well l-turned calves of his guest.

THE Hartford Post calls Governor Fo

THE Hartford Post calls Governor For aker "a man of nerve." Nobody doubted it, and there is renewed evidence of his nerve in the fact that his "splendid ad- ministration of the finances of the state so loudly heralded in the platform on which he stands for reelection has result ed in such a heavy overdrawing of ae counts that it has been found necessary tc draw on county treasurers for almost $1 ,OOO, ,OOO in advance of the semi annual settlement. Yes, the knight of the un- shaken hand is truly "a man of nerve"

THERE is growing demand for a change in the control of the weather bureau owing to the repeated mistakes of pre- diction made under General Greeley's ad- ministration. The surest interpretation of the hit-and-miss indications now sent out by the weather bureau is the opposite.

Perfume for Ladies' Boots.

It is becoming quite the thing nowadays among fashionable shoemakers to sift either orris-root powde" or some lasting sachet powder between the leather and the lintsg of ladies' boots. They also have in stock dainty little shakers filled with the powder mixed with soapstone, which may be used at will. These shakers are about twice the sizo of an ordinary pepper shaker. and can be found in china, upon which are pretty designs, cut glass with silver tops, carved sandalwood and silver, either en- 0raved or hammered.

REPUBLICAN papers are now limiting law ought to be repealed. There is little doubt that if the republican members of congress had the courage of their desires the whole law would go to smash. It is their fear of democratic ridicule and mugwump censure that keeps the law on the statute books. If they dared they would very quickly wipe it out.
