rNeLAND sPUnRED TO ACTION.

The Appeal For ireland Withdrawn
Temporarily.
IN answer to a letter sent to the New
York San, treasurer of the American
committee for the relief of famine In
Ireland, asking for advice as to what
disposition should be made of the fund
collected by the DEMOCRAT, the follow
ing reply was to-day received:
NEW YORK, November "a. 1890.
Messrs G. g. M. 7. Maloney:
Gentlemen The New York Sun has
sent to me your letter of the 18th inst and
requested me to answer it.
The American committee has tempo
rarily withdrawn it's appeal, as you no
doubt know, and does not care to re-
ceive subscriptions at present. The
money already sent TO the committee
remains intact in the hands of the Sun,
to be returned to the subscribers if the
the promises of Mr. Balfour are kept by
the British government. Under these
circumstances, l suggest that you keep
the money you have collected until the
need of sending it to relieve the famine
threatened people of Ireland has become
apparent.
1t was extremely kind and generous
| in YOU to assist the American committee
as you have. 1t was just such help as
yours that. has shamed the British gov
eminent into a promise to do its duty.
Thanking. you and the other generous
people of Waterbury,
am, Yours respectfully,
ARTHUR DUDLEY VINToN, Secretary.
OF the 5000 pledged to the DEMOCRAT
fund all except $40 has been paid in,
Contributors who wish will have theil
money returned, although it may be
well to keep the fund intact until the
close of the year when the crisis viii
come. 1t will then be apparent whether
the pledges of the British government
are to be kept, and whether the RELIEF
measures that may be provided will be
adequate.

The irish Members VIII Defend Him
From Tory Attacks.
LONDON, November ga meeting of
the Parnellite members of the house of
commons was held after the opening of
parliament to-day, almost every member
being present. When Parnell entered
he was greeted with cheers and many
members shook hands with him. After
the meeting was called Parnell was
elected chairman by a unanimous vote.
A number of members made speeches
expressing confidence in the leader and
urging him to remain at the head of the
party. Mr. Parnell briefly thanked the
members for the confidence expressed in
him and said that he would remain at
the head of the party in obedience to the
wish Of the Irish people. His remarks
were greeted with the widest cheers.
Should the tories in parliament refer to
the O'Shea scandal Parnell's friends will
retaliate by laying bare the unsavory
record of King William ".

Unable to collect It's school Taxes.

Unable to Collect It's school Taxes.
ROCKVILLE, Nov 25.-The voters of
the eighth school district are placed in
an unusual and singular position in not
being able to collect the five mill tax
recently voted. Collector johnson has
been able to collect only $1,700 of the
$2, 700 tax, many of the residents of the
district claiming that the tax was illegal
and uncollectable as part of it was for
paying for hose and hose carriage
The charter gives the district power to
contract with the water company for
water for fire purposes, and it is claimed
that this contract could be of no use
without a hose and hose carriage. Col
lector johnson consulted legal advice at
Hartford and the opinion rendered was
that the tax was not collectable, as the
hose carriage was not for the use of the
school buildings alone. Judge Calhoun
is of the opinion, however, that the tax
can be collected. The voters of the dis
trict held spirited meeting last week
and many of those present were in favor
of making a levy on the property Of
those who refused to pay. Many of
those who have paid their, first tax now
demand its return Another meeting
will be held next week Tuesday.

Now it is entirely unnecessary to explain
what this offer means, as any one who will
examine the Beaver Hats shown all over
the city and chilled cheap at So IS, and
compare them with the ones we are offer
