THE ChLORAL HABIT.

A Vice That Is Far More Difficult to Over
 come Than Alcoholism.
 The above is the heading of a letter sent some months ago to New York paper, as follows: .y s-y
 When Q gentle, quiet little woman, the light of happy home, with not a trace of insanity in her blood commits dreadful crime-murders her children and herself in such shocking manner that even the hardened newspaper reader shudders with horror at the thought of it-how is 1t that people are expected to be satisfied with yer dict of emotional insanity, ;" temporary ab- erration of mind," etc? What causes such sudden and horrible emotions? And are they sudden? Sometimes the person has been in poor health, frequently under the care of a physician, and almost invariably, if the disease is one of the nerves, hydrate of chloral has been administered either by the advice of the physician or without 1t, for its use is so general that one person will rec ommend it to another; and any druggist knows and can testify that he sells as much of it without prescriptions as with. Nervous persons who have become accustomed to its use think they can not live without 1t, though its continued use Is certain to prove disastrous The habit once formed is far more difficult to overcome than alcoholism or opium-eating. Two years ago the lead ing newspaper of a neighboring city pub lished number of articles concerning the incorporate use of this drug. It claimed | that many homes were broken up by 1t; that cases of kleptomania, infidelity, mur- der and suicide-particularly the latter were directly traceable to the use of hy- drate of chloral l hope that some one who | is capable will write an article on this sub iect-Union Signal

TIE New Haven Register has reached the point of believing that Governor Bulleley would not be moved by polit- ical considerations in his action on the oleomargarine bill. It is but a little while since the Register discovered that the governor failed to veto the bill clos ing saloons on election nights because he feared to draw down the wrath of the prohibitionists on himself. We hope, for the benefit of an honest and legiti- mate industry, that the Register has good grounds for its returning conf dence- in the governor. We are very much afraid, however, that in this mat tes the Registers hindsight will be a good deal better than its foresight.

TIE Cleveland Leader defends fresi- dent Harrison agaiAst the charge of ne potism in appointing his brother to a United States marshalship on the grounds that nepotism, properly speak ing, does not mean the appointment of our relative to office, but several, and that it therefore does not apply to the presidents action. Evidently the Lead CT hasn't had all the returns. Harrison has already raised to office his brother his wife's brother his sons father-in-law and the husband of his wife's niece. II may be that there are no more of the tribe to be nominated; if there are the Leader wants to keep its eyes squintet in the direction of the white house.

lT is hinted that the liquor dealers in the state. disgusted with the restrictions that are being placed on their business by the present legislature, will unite and work in favor of the prohibitory amend ment. With prohibition they believe they could sell as much liquor as they now do without having to pay a liccnsl for or be otherwise hampcred as they are now. If the liquor dealers should adopt this policy it might be a sort ot retribution to the republican party. Re venge is sweet, and liquor dealers cal hardly be blamed if they strike back as effectively as they can.

during the Chartist excitement of 1S49 and that has already accomplished much in English industrial life.
 The gentlemen who control the Boston movement announce that their object is to oppose the present economic indi- vidualism by which the commercial and industrial interests are used to the advantage of the few in stead of the many and the control of business is concentrated in the hands of a dangerous plutocracy, thus giving large occasion for the growth of moral and social evils of every kind. The new socialists assert, in their declarations of principles, that the economic circum- stances which have created trusts and combinations may be depended upon to give the necessary development of indi- vidual character which will be at once true socialism and true christianity. The Christian church, according to these gen tlemen, has definite duty in trying to realize social principles of christianity ill daily life. 1t needs no philosopher genius to discover thatthe tendency of the times is toward the concentration of wealth, the accumulation of business control in the hands of the few, and that the power is increasing with these few to crowd out and crush out others who are not permitted within their select circle. We have instances of this in the big four who control the meat business of the country; in the select coterie who have a monopoly of the telegraph, telephone and electric light ing business; in the coal combinations which regulate the production and price of the ''poor mans diamonds, and in the numerous other trusts and combines that absolutely control the entire busi- ness of the product in which they deal This tendency seems to be constantly increasing, and no man can look to the end It has already been well-nigh i'm possible for those who are in business on small scale to advance beyond a cer- tain point: when the trusts that control his business desire they can crush him out as one would crush an empty egg shell. There are business men right here in Waterbury with whom it is an endless struggle to keep back from the edge of bankruptcy where they are con- l tinually lowering and who can see no | hope of getting beyond a certain point when these plutocratlc canutes have planted their autocratic toes. If there is a spirit of unrest among the industrial classes of the country it is but a type of that which prevails among the small merchants and tradeSmen who are made to feel even more oppressingly the hand
 of capitalistic monopoly.
 l What is the remedy for the existing
 condition of things and the prevailing
 tendency to its aggravation? It is to de-
 termine this that the best minds of the day are beginning to direct themselves and the movement began Tuesday il
 Boston, if properly organized and em
 braced by representative men in the diff
 ferent denominations may have a large
 influence to this end. Certainly there i
 need of all the help that socialism
 christianity and every other peaceful
 influence can unite in bringing to tn, eradication of existing evils and tn, creation of new conditions where al men may have equal opportunities in life.
