WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1s, 1890.

NEW MILFORD is making moral pro- gress. It had ten saloons year or two ago but when application for the eleventh saloon was made, the best citizens and the ladies presented a re- monstrance to the county commissioners who subsequently, held session at New Milford to hear testimony on both sides of the question. As result of that hearing, the number of saloons was restricted to ten. That was move in the right direction-the first. battle and victory perched on the side of law and order.
 This month eight persons, besides two druggists, applied for license to sell liquor. The best citizens of New Milford held a mass meeting at the town hall on Monday evening, Nov 10, and expressed their wishes in regard to saloons at New Milford. The sentiment of the meeting was against the saloons. On Thursday last the county commis- sioners granted 8 hearing to the mem for the purpose of hearing objections to bsrs of the Citizens League and others the granting of licenses to those who had applied for them. Two petitions were presented, one containing about 53O names opposed to license, and one containing 1O5 names in favor of license. Each party was represented by counsel, and much testimony was taken. The hearing resulted Tn licensing only six hotels and saloons. There was no re- monstrance against granting license to the two druggists. Thus two more saloons are closed in New Milford. More progress.
 Editor Bolles of the New Milford Gazette is president of the Citizens League and has worked with pen and voice to bring about the good already accomplished. May the good work go on until New Milford can stand side by side in the temperance ranks with North Canaan, which to-day is the banner no license town of Connecticut.
 It requires nerve and a good deal of moral courage to edit paper advocating temperance, especially in license town. Editor Bolles deserves much credit and he should be firmly supported in the warfare. The battle is not over by any means. and the forthcoming number of the Gazette will show the efforts being made to punish Neighbor Bolles.

JOLIET, Ills, Nov. 1.-The belief that O'Sullivan, the Cronin prisoner, has squealed is general here. The reason as- signed for the denial is that in case O'Sul- livan got out he would meet the same fate that Cronin did inside of three days. The discipline of the prison is also involved. The more earnest the denial the frmer grows the belief that the statement is true
