The Mfddles0wn TurnPike-C0mmunt
 cation Between This City and North
 Haven Might be Greatly Aided If She
 Road Was Repaired.
 The Middletown turnpike running from State street to this city, across the Quinni- piac river meadows and through North Haven, is just now the object of good deaI of attention. The road across the meadows, which is about mile long, has newly been raised SO as to be free from washouts from dition. A fence has also been built enclos- ing the road on either side for the protection of teams, as the road is from three to four feet above the meadows. The stretch of 8 mile from the further end of the meadows to the boundary of North Haven Is as yet in poor condition. It needs hardening and top dressing before it will be an easy and good thoroughfare for travel. The town of New be made to have it fully repaired in suit able manner to render travel more commo- dious. This would make fine road from Lewis bridge across the meadows to North Haven and on to Middletown.
 The other end of the turnpike, that from Lewis bridge to State street, which is but comparatively short distance, also is badly in need of making over. It is soft and very difficult of passage. If it were in good con- dition, the journey from this city to North Haven by this route would be much shorter and easier than the way through Grand ave- nue and thence over the Fair Haven turn- pike to North Haven. A determined effort will undoubtedly soon be made by those who could use the Middletewn turnpike to haveit put in good repair. The route by this way is considered superior in every respect to the Fair Haven roundabout ride, and intercourse between this city and North Haven would un- doubtedly be greatly fostered and aided if the necessary improvements were made on the Middletown turnpike.

A Gang or Young Hoodlums.

For some time past gang of young boys have made night hideous in the vicinity of Davenport avenue and Baldwin street, and their depredations have not been confined to this quarter, as they infest the entire neigh borhood thereabouts. Attacks upon chil- dren are often made, and parents are render ed miserable in consequence. In the vicinity of the Church of the Ascension they are oft en to be seen in wait for boys who, of neces sity, are compelled to go to their rehearsals two or three nights a week, and at times it hss become necessary for the older members of the choir or the organist to accompany some to their homes. This is discouraging to the members of the choir, as well as to their parents, and it is hoped that some of these young hoodlums will soon be captured and punished as they we'll deserve to be.

WEST HAVEN's FIRE FIR OBLEm

StIlI UnsOlved-W1ll:lt be a Hose Car
 r1age or a Steamer, or NothinRs
 The petition in circulation among the citi- gems of West Haven asking for money to purchase hose carriage and hose. so that the town will not be entirely without fire ap- pnratus in case of fire, is not meeting with much success. Ever since the Hinman fire some of the people have felt uneasy concern ing the safety of their property, and it will be remembered that @ short time ago the borough voted to appropriate $1 200 for a hose carriage; but the citizens voted to re- seind the appropriation, as they thought that it would swell their taxes too much. But since then few started this petition and are doing all in their power to obtain hose carriage, as they claim that as they have water pipes running through the prin- cipal streets line of hose could be fastened to hydrant in 6 very short time, and doubt less much property would be saved in case of fire. These men say that the hose car~ riage could De housed in the horse railroad barn, and therefore cost but little.
 There are also many citizens who are not in favor of hose carriage, but who think that, If anything is to be done, that they should procure c steamer and done with it, and have men hired permanently to take care of it and to act as Gremen. These men ar- gue that with the hose carriage plan it would men to assemble, in case of fire, to draw the carriage to the scene of the fire and to lay the hose, and that by the time they did get there the fire would most likely be out. They say also that Saturday nights and var- ious other nights in the week the men, who would probably serve on the hose carriage would be in New Haven up to Il or 12 o'clock.
 They also say that they could buy steam CT outright, and that the tax would be very light.
 One thing is very sure, so many West Ha. veners urge, and that is, that 6 borough of the size of West Haven, should not be with out fire apparatus of some sort, for very disastrous fire might occur before aid could reach them from New Haven. Whether they will get any or not is at present an in- applicable conundrum.

Who Elected Harrison 2

The New York Tribune not long ago
said;
one OF the New York correspondents OF
the London freerTsde Journals telegraphed
on the eve OF the elections: "There ~ no
doubt that the majority OF the intelligent
voters OF the country viii favor President
Cleveland"
There can hardly be any doubt that his
prediction turned out 10 be true. Mt.
CLEVELAND received majority OF The popu-
lar vote, and therefore, even II we concede
that the two parties are equally intelligent,
a majority of the intelligent voters must
have supported him. Again the negroes
voted for HARRIsoS-more than half-million
OF them--perhaps million. 1t follows that
CLEVELAND was voted for bys large ma
iority OF the intelligent voters. Mr.. HARRISON
is, therefore, not only a minority Presi-
dent, but a President owing ms elec'
ton TO the voters OF an inferior race
10 the corruption OF the eleciing body.
The negroes were made voters by compui-
sion, or whilst the southern States were
under duress; and these negroes made Mr.
HARRISON President In Indiana, New
Jersey, Connecticut, and New York the
negro vote carried the election for HARRISON.
IL the negroes in those States, and those
states only, had voted for Mr.. CLEVELAND
he would have received an immense MAORI
ty Of the electoral votes.

The Silver Question.

The silver question will not "down."
There is problem TO be solved in connec-

country the predictions OF the mOnometal-
lists have ell come to grief Think OF the
New York Heralds prediction that few
months after the passage Of the BLAND bill
our currency would be ruined! For ten
years that law has been in operation, and

tbsn that of any other nation IN the world.

functions In that way. Its good sign that
his Lordship expressed the hope that the
coming Congress at Paris would be an utter
national one. That is to say, We suppose,
that the representatives OF the great com.
nercia nations would or might there agree

In this country the farmers are quiet at

their wheat below its cost as a consequence
Of British monOmetalism in England and
British bimetaism in India, without grum-
bling at the Administration which attemptsto
do nothing TO remedy tbst deploraole condi-
ton Of things. "What this country needs
and what It will finally have" says the Att
lsnta Constitution, ais the free coinage OF
silver. This will put IT IN this country on
the same terms with gold, and bring its
bullion value up TO gold" We quote:
"when this is done the gold countries OF
Europe will be compelled to change their
policy, and binsstallism, which Is the ustural
order OF things, will be restored the world
over. The god-bugs are having their way
now, but they will not have 1t long"
On this interesting subject the New York
Herald says:
"The Republicans will have very mar
row majority In both houses when Congress
meets In extra session 10 October, and 1t Is
now understood that the silver men mean to
take advantage OF tins 10 extort something
substantial for their pet metal"
The new States that are soon TO come IN

and a. likely to have no representatives in
Congress, Democratic or Republican, who
will not be bimetalhsis. Mr.. WINDOW is

TUE RULEs.-The Boston Herald says that
though the Democrats have had the majority
in the House Of Representatives for most OF
the time during the last sixteen years they
have always adopted the rules which the
Republicans found so Objectionable as soon
as they got the majority. The Democrats
only ask that the Republicans shall adopt
the same rules.
Abolish the rules and then abolish the
Constitution. Abolish the rules. and then
pass law providing for The election OF q
Republican President ia 1892, and Re-
publican House OF Representatives in 1890
and 1892 and forever. This is at the bottom
OF the movement for making the rules suit
the purposes Of the Republican malignants.
