COTTON BAGGING.

The cotton mills that are manufacture
ing cotton bagging have not been able to
fill their orders, as they had contracted to
do. They have promised, after the 18th,
to fill orders more promptly, and if they
can | hope to supply all. But in the
meantime, where you cannot wait,
would advise the use of any material
other than new jute. I am aware it is a
source of much inconvenience on account
of the delay in getting the cotton bag
ging, but to no one more than to myself.
Respectfully,

1888, and we are pleased to say that our
business has been very satisfactory in the old
crop, and we are better prepared than ever to
handle the new crop at the highest prices
with the lowest charges for selling: We have
the full support of all the independent buyers
of our market, and we do not publish sales OF
a few fancy lots to mislead. We have orders
for both old and new Tobacco and are deter
mined to put Town the erroneous reports
that we do. not buy, by saying the hlghest
prices. We want SO, 900 lbs. of old Filters and
Smokers at once for which We will. pay the
highest market value, and we are. pleased to
say that such grades have advanced. The
new crop is curing very bright, and prices
are satisfactory, our average sales on a large
quantity sold being over 20 cents per pound,
all grades. Don't sell your Tobacco to the
biyed drummer but bring us your next
load and we will convince you thatyou cannot
afford to sell elsewhere.

 A LONDON journal states that shirts of chain armor. which cost about 2100. are now. worn by more than one distinguished person on the continent. KAwANABE KYosAI, probably the greatest contemporary Japanese artlst, died recently at the age of ffty-eight years.
 THE English language is spreading. Most of the large cities of Europe and many small ones now have their English newspaper.
 Two KINDS of divorces are granted in Circassia. By the first the parties can i'm mediately marry again; by the second, not for year. THE British Museum has paid thirty-seven thousand marks for the prayer book which the late Louis of Bavaria ordered from Franz Fleschutz.

 THERE are now five hundred American schools in Tur''ey, all of which, except one, are open daily. An order was recently made by the Turkish Government prohibit ing any interference with the schools, which had been impeded and interfered with by the local authorities.

 was knocked down to a purchaser by the huctioneer's hammer and now Camelot, in Somersetshire, on whose castle hill King Arthur and his knights are said to have held counsel and revel, has been offered ct public sale.
 THE French minister of posts and tele. graphs has notified every telephone com pany in France that the Government will take control of their lines on the expiration of the term of which they were given a monopoly. This term expires within year in the case of most of the companies. THE Shah of Persia recently tried to climb the Eiffel Tower, but his courage gave out when he was near the top and he re- turned ignominiously to the ground. He re. fused to take the elevator, and the result is that the Parisians are inclined to look upon the Shah as good deal of a coward. | CONSTANTINE, heir to the Greek throne, is in his twenty-second year. He is 8 very handsome young man and has most fas. cinating manner. He is extremely fond o1 military matters. but has devoted great 1 deal of tine to the study of literature.

PROHIBITION A MISTAKE.

PROHIBITION A MISTAKE.
 It should not be forgotten by the voters that at the coming town elections in October they will be called upon to ex- press their wishes as to constitutional prohibition. While the prohibitionists have been showing considerable activity in propagating their theories, those who believe that prohibition would be a serious mistake have shown little or no interest in the premises. Wehope, how ever, that they will pay some attention to the matter, for the adoption of pro- hibition, whether constitutional or statutory, would be mistake for Con- necticut whose consequences would be Immediate and far reaching.
 It matters little from what point of view we regard prohibition; it is a failure and mistake in each and every instance. Whether from the standpoint of it's physiological effects, its moral or material aspects, its legislative or political pretensions, or the experience and re- suits of actual operation, prohibition can point only to record of failure. It has not been shown that the use of spiritu- ous or fermented liquors in moderate quantities is deleterious to the human system, while their frequent prescrip- tion in cases of illness or debility is an assurance that they are recognized by medical men as containing certain ele- ments of nutrition and stimulation. Such eminent physiological writers as Dr w. B. Carpenter, Liebig, Dr Jenner and others admit and assert that mod crate use of alcoholic liquors is beneficial m that it nourishes and stimulates the nervous system, just as solid food nour- lshes and stimulates the physical system. The greater part of the American people, indeed of every people on the globe, use liquor in greater or lesser quantities, and it is only in cases of excessive use that it has been found to be injurious. Taken in moderate quantities it is bene- hcial and must be regarded as physi- ological blessing.
 Prohibition is a moral error since it's purpose is to make men total abstainers by compulsion. We do not think that this IS possible. The philosopher con- cludes that, as matter of fact, it is im- possible to make men virtuous by com pulsion. The Christian moralist believes It ought not to be done even were it pos

VOTE AT THE PRIMARIES.
 The democratic primaries will be hel(

The democratic primaries will be held tomorrow evening, the polls being open from o'clock in the afternoon to 8 o'clock at night. It is the duty of every democratic voter in Waterbury to cast a ballot at the primaries.
 We hear great deal of protest against the activity of certain gentlemen who are desirous of running the democratic party of Waterbury to suit themselves. The way to make that protest most ef- fective is to nip their schemes in the bud. That can only be done by defeat ing their tickets at the primaries.
 Individuals who have designs on the party set up the pins at the caucuses and through the tickets they put up for the primaries lay the plans to capture and control the nominating conventions. Democrats who don't believe in that kind of business should go to the primaries to- morrow night and do what they can to knock down the pins of the ambitious politicians. By doing this they will have something to say in the matter of arranging the town, city and school tickets that will be offered to the voters on election day.
 Voters who take no part in the pri- mary election, who allow the politicians and ward bosses to have their way with out opposition, have only themselves to blame if the tickets when made up carry the names of men for whom they do not feel like voting. If they take no interest in the making up of the tickets they ought to be satisfied with the candidates the bosses furnish them. We do not believe in waiting until the nominations are made and then sharpening the knives. That is not politics it is crook edness.
 The time is propitious now for encom- passing the downfall of men who have been teaches on the party and others who are ambitious of carrying the demo- cratic majority of Waterbury in the palms of their hands. Men whose interest in the party and its success is purely selfish should be sent to the rear. The defeat of their schemes at the pri- maries will diminish their power and humble the pride with which they strut around puffed up in their own conceit and bursting with the importance of their assumed superiority.
 There should be no bosses ill the dem- ocratic party of Waterbury; the voters of the party should esteem it their duty and their pride to sit down upon any man or clique of men who assume to die tate to them who shall or shall not be honored on every occasion when it is in the province of the party to confer honors. The way to sit down most effectually on these men and their schemes is to mete out defeat to them at the primaries.
 The DEMOCRAT calls on all the voters in the party to turn out tomorrow and vote at the primaries. It is their duty to do so. and every man of them should be glad to perform his duty. With a full vote at the primaries the will of the party will be expressed beyond the sha. dow of question.
 Turn out, democrats, and vote to- morrow afternoon or evening.

smoke-Burning Locomotive.

A smoke-burner has been placed on
one of the engines of the Wisconsin
Central Railroad, and the trial is said
to have been satisfactory. The Chica-
go Tribune thus explains the device:
1t is the introduction over the frebox
of jet of superheated steam, which
should have q temperature of over GOO
degrees. The oxygen in this steam
seeks its natural affinity in the carbon
of the coal and causes it to burn at an
intense white heat, so that it passes
away as cOrbonic oxide. The hydro.
gen liberated from the oxygen of the
water combines with whatever loose
oxygen of the air it can find, and also
burns at a white heat. The smoke
ceases to be any smoke, for the carbon
is all consumed.
While railroad companies will doubt
less be attractive to the invention ow-
ing to the fact that with it a locomotive
will consume only half the quantity of
coal now used, and at the same time do
better work, the travelling public will
be rejOiced to learn that there is at
least a possibility of relief from the an
nOyance and discomfort caused bv the
fine particles of coal-dust that work
their way into the cars and defile both
body and clothes.

1t is no wonder the peach growers of
Delaware are discOnsolated. Not only
have they to face the appalling pros
pect of having such large crop this
year that they can't make any profit
out of the business, but now come the
report that the Peachgrowers' Associa-
ton of Northern New Jersey are about
to set out 100000 young trees, and
have adopted liberal code of rates
and regulations that will tend to en-
courage the phach-grow indus
try. Do the people of Northern
New Jersey have any idea that the set
ting out of 100000 peach trees will in
crease the peach growing industry in
Delaware? That's what the people of
Delaware are understood to be asking
with fire in their eyes. According to
the reports from that State, it is COM
monty believed not only that there are
enough peach trees already, but that
there are too many peaches on them.
tits hoped, however, that this little
friction will not seriously interfere with
the good feeling that has characterized
