COMMENTING on the elections of the
Northwestern States the St. Louis Globe
Democrat says
Il shows that free trade Is not making
any headway in the agricultural districts
and that protection Is not a mere matter
of local prejudice and corporate greed
There should be no difficulty In compre-
hending a lesson that is so plainly pre-
sented: and it is to be hoped that the
Democrats win profit by it,
The Democrats find the situation quite
different and they are not at all de-
pressed. They see no need Of changing
their advocacy of reform and reduction
Of the tariff and every convention has
declared to that effect How the wheat
growers Of the Dakotas can vote to ex-
change their low-priced wheat for imple-
ments, harness, saddles, salt, lumber,
sugar, coal and clothing at an syerepe dis
advantage Of AZ per cent. is one Of

The Glens Defeated

About 150 people enjoyed the game of ball between the Glens and Woodburys, Saturday, and it was interesting after the first innings. The first inning opened with the visitors at the bat. Kane struck out the first four men who came to the bat, but the new catcher could not hold the ball, so each man. with the error on first base, went cross the plate. Three short hits ended the inning to 0. The Glen's first half scored run by double and two singles. The Glens tried anoth- eI catcher in the second inning. His CT TOT gave the visitors another run; score to in favor of the visitors, but in the third inning, Collins, ,who has a bad hand, went behind the bat and for. the last innings the visitors were shut out and the Glens got two more earned runs. The Glens would have men on bases at every inning, but were unable to get them across the plate. w. Wells pitched for the visitors and pitched good ball. all though Kane struck out two more men than Wells. F. McGran, while sliding to second base, turned on his ankles but will soon be all right. The crowd staid until the last man was out and departed satisfied at seeing good game. The score should have been 3 to l in favor of the Glens. We hope that they won't have such hard luck again. The score by innings was:

"Alrominent business man has told the Bridgeport Morning News that n
 new rairoad can easily be built from
 New Yof'S to New Haven and afflrms that such road would not only pay, but would release the shore towns from the grasp of the Consolidated. He says: 'I.et the people of Bridgeport, Fairfield, Westport, Norwalk and other towns join and build parallel road of their own.
 It Is perfectly feasible. will take 5000 worth of stock in the enterprise, and l know of others who will gladly do the same. It does not cost so much to con struct railroad, If the work is honestly done and there is no stealing. The trouble in building most railroads is that those who manage the enterprise expectt to steal half the money and pocket it for their own profits. I believe there are business men enough in the towns I have men, tioned to take all the stock needed to construct n parallel road. It would not
 be necessary to do the work all at once. Let the road be built first from Bridge port to Norwalk. After that is done you will find plenty of people in Stam- ford and vicinity who will build the line from Norwallx to Stamford. It won't be long then before one end will be pushed through to New York and the other end to New IIayen.r The News adds that such road Is needed in Bridgeport and elsewhere and sees no

Newtown's Need of Improvement.

Newtown's natural advantages are as great as those of either Litchfield or New Milford and it is not surpassed as q Summer resort; this is daily attested by the throng of visitors daily adding grace and life to our streets. But in the line of artificial improvements Ncwtown is, alas not in the vanguard.
 Of sidewalks has she none, save in that part lying in the borough limits. Of street lamps has she none, save those provided by Merchants l.. B. Booth and E. r. Hawley, by the Newtown savings bank and hy Landlords Houlihan and Leonard. Elsewhere the street is in darkness, broken only by rays from lamps in front of private houses; but these are maintained by private gener- osity, not by public enterprise.
 In Sandy Hook, much the same condi- tion exists. There are no sidewalks, save in small, detached sections; street lamps are conspicuous by their absence, save before places of business and d few private residences.
 The street connecting the villages is adorned by no sidewalk, save between the street and the depot. where, in de- tached places, plank walk has been laid. Beyond the railroad there is, at places, scarcely foot path beside the wagon road.
 This is not as it should be.
 The two villages should be joined, not merely by broad and well-lSept carriage road, but by continuous and commodi- ous sidewalk plank, if you like. con crete or stone tagging if preferred, for those who walk. A line of street lamps in each community, with another along the north side of the depot road, might be established and kept in good order.
 These are but two of the more promi- nent of the needs of the Newtown of to- day; others will make themselves easily known to citizens and guests. But in no way can this work be done so well as by Village Improvement association.
 Is Newtown so different from it's sister villages that it can have no society for the improvement and adornment of it's own streetsf
 Attention might be called to South port, whose Sasquanaug society for viii lage improvement has added so greatly to the beauty of the village during it's comparatively short life.

The gentlemen who bought control ling Interest in the Derby railroad will probably have no reason to regret their bargain. Stock which they bought at 9 was quoted week ago at 2S l-2 and, under the Influence of the lease of the Housatonic, it has risen to g. It will naturally go higher, as under the lease it will draw , per cent for the next three years, 3 per cent for the succeeding three years and per cent thereafter to the expiration of the lease. That would make it an so per cent stock. This is quite change from the time, only re- cently, when the road paid nothing to it's stockholders and did not earn enough to pay the interest on it's bonds. The annual charges which the Housatonic assumes are largely in excess of the net earnings of the Derby road, given in it's last annual report to railroad commis- sioners. Thus far the road is doing bet ter for it's stockholders and giving the public better service than under the old management.-[N New Haven News.

 X new law, to go into effect next week, forbids the use of harbed wire in fencing and provides that no firm or corporation shall have barbcd wire upon existing fences between their own premises and those of any adjoining proprietor, within 9 rods of house or barn belonging to such proprietor, without first obtaining his written consent. The penalty is lim- tied to $1o0. The Courant notes that under the law any farmer or other resi- dent, whose house or barn is passed by a Milroad, can compel the company to take up it's barbed wire fence, if it comes within 400 feet of his buildings. If the company cannot get his written con sent, the barbed wire fence must go. It certainly gives the real estate holders a chance to worry the railroads if they wish. The railroads have used miles upon miles of barbed wire fence and now suddenly it is made unlawful except by written permission

The young Chinese emperor has taken a hand in overcoming the popular super stltion against railroads which has stop ped work on them heretofore. He has named Marquis Tseng director general of railroads and has decreed that the work on the Tungchow line shall go on, which indicates that the Marquis and Viceroy II have again got the upper hand of the conservative party at Pekin. Perhaps they may be able to keep it this time, until they get the Tungchow and Tiensin roads built, equipped and in operation.
