enforcement. Men were expelled
from their homes and went from
place to place agitsting, and 30 spread
socialistic ideas. In Germany the
lot Of q common man is to pay
taxes, serve as a soldier and keep
his mouth shut. The socialists
want to do away with the army and
Claim that II they get In power
there will be no more war. 1t is
easy to imagine how such an argu-
ment will work upon the classes
wiz furnish men for war and who
will always be under the threaten
ing flimots OF war. Working men
are also told that when the social
lists are in power they will not have
TO work 30 hard nor 20 long. These
arguments have won thousands and
thousands OF votes. The result Of
the election will be that, INSTEAD Of
eleven members in the Reichsfag,
the socialists will have thi,ty-five,
and be entitled to n representation
on all the committees. The anti
socialist law will fail. They will
have liberty in organizing openly,
and the opportunity will be given
them TO develop the programme Of
the future. Bismarck or the EN-
peror will try TO get q majority by
making concessions to the Catholics,
but the government Is really in
predicament. The Emperor can
dissolve the Reichstag IL he desires,
but he must figure on the new cleo
ton, and 1t is thought the result will
be that Germany will drift more and
more into parliamentary govern
ment, and that the rights Of the
crown will be lessened. There 10
no danger that the socialistic party
will become n ruling one, but the
result Of the elections means that
Germany will be more literally gov
erned, and the working classes will
probably be benefited. The social
istic party Of Germany are not
they are ms bitterly OPP
posed to anarchy as are other people.

LONDON, Feb. 22.-Further details
OF the outrages at the political prison
at Kara reached the Russian exiles
in London today. 1t appears that
the trouble originated In a hunger
strike In August, when the wbfnen
political prisoners tried to starve
themselves to death to escape the
cruelty Of their jailers. All the
women imprisoned abstained from
food for fourteen days. At first the
jailers jeered at the women, then
tempted them with food, and then,
finding this Of no avail, threatened
them. When several women were
at the point Of death from voluntary
abstinence from food the prison OIL
cials resorted to artificial means to
compel them to take nourishment.
The methods adopted were violent
and hcentious and the women were
compelled 10 abandon the strike.
The abomlnable outrages that
followed this state of affairs led
Madame Sebida, whose death by
fiogging mas been already an
nounced, to ask for an interview
with the director Of the prison, in
the hope Of securing an ameliora-
ton Of the condition Of the prison.

AN EsG1NEER's STATEMENT.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23.-Engi-
neer Luther Wagner today talked
about the construction Of the All
IONA dam, and claimed that the dis
aster was due to the lrelessness OF
the New York corporation, which
built 1t. He inspected the dam n
year ami a halfago. 1t was to have
been faced with stone fourteen feet
thick at the base, four feet at the top
and filled with loose rock and made
water proof with wooden sheeting.
1t was about half done when Mr..
Wagner inspected Ii. He found the
stone filled in carelessly and the
structure unstable. The junction OF
the sheeting and he'd rock was in
tended to be secured by q thick
layer of Portland cement, but this
was not well done, because OF the
cost of getting cement to the worSs.
Thus a dangerous crevice was
formed at the base and the leakage
was heavy. In addition, the lumber
used was full Of knotholes. Wagner
advised the discharge Of the con-
tractors and engineers, but this has
not been done. The company
strengthened some Of the weak
places; but his warning that the
dam would be unsafe unless some Of
the work was rectified WINS disre-
garded.

EXCITEMENT AND SUSPENSE.

DENVER, Col, Feb. IA Pres
colt special to the Associated Press
says: A general feeling Of excite
ment and suspense has prevailed
here today over the news OF the
disaster at Walnut Grove, received
last night. The courier who brought
the kilograms for the owners Of the
property, notifying them Of their
great loss, arrived about S O'Clock
last night. AS he LEFT Immediately
after daylight he could give but lit
tie particulars further than TO report
the number missing. Five bodies
had been recovered and identified
when he left. The distance to the
storage dam from Prescott by the
shortest trail is forty miles, while the
service dam, where the employees
were located, was fifteen miles fur
Their down the stream. Immediately
on receipt af the news here Adju-
tant-General O'Neill started to the
scene of the disaster with two
surgeons to assist the wants Of the
sufferers and superintend the burial
of the dead, and a representative Of
the Journal Miner, a local paper, ac-
companied the party, who will send
a special courier with particulars,
but 1t will take twenty-four hours
longer to make the round trip. Yes
terday's courier came from the lower
dam, and as the road does not come
by the upper dam, 1t was only sur
missed that il had given way on ac-
count Of the immense quantity Of
water. A more hopeful feeling ex-
lists this evening on account Of the
news received direct that the upper
dam and reservoir are still intact,
and that the flood was caused by
the opening Of the gate to relieve 1t
from threatening danger.

THE WORST FEARED.

Later-Arthur Allen, formerly in
terested in the enterprise, and John
Mcdonald, an owner OF the Blue
Dick mine, have just returned FROM
the Dozoories divide, fourteen miles
south Of the town, from where q
view Of the dam could be had, and
report that it has gone without
doubt. The wash waterway could
be plainly seen with their powerful
glasses high up on the side Of the
cliff, while the breaking of the stone
work Of the dam WINS also plainly
visible. The break in the dam
stopped to the eastward, leaving
the impression that the main break
was on the east side. The confir-
nation Of the news Of the loss Of the
big dam has heightened the ex-
element and more definite intel
ligence is now anxiously awaited.

The Decimal PoiAt.

In France and Germany Y reduced to decimal is written OPS, in England it is written O'sa; in tho United States it is always written either 025 or simply written .95 without the naught. In the first two countries the period is never used, always tho comma. While English writers use the period they never put it at the bottom of the line as we do, but always use it thus: o"25. This style is said to have been introduced by Sir Isaac Newton, who placed 1t at the tor of the line to distinguish 1t from the punctuation mark.

4 FEW CLOSING WORDS.

Before another issue of the DEMOCRAT reaches the homes of our subscribers the local election will have been almost de- cided. A few closing words to the democratic voters is therefore appropri- ate.
 We believe the democratic ticket, with proper effort on the part of the voters, will be elected as a whole on Monday. But to insure victory an earnest, sturdy effort will be necessary. The republicans have played n cunning dodge by stealing into the democratic camp for leader for their town ticket X year ago they tried a somewhat simi lar scheme and met with a crushing de feat. This year they are encouraging q wing of the democracy to desert the olG flag, but we believe their effort will fail Good, honest democrats who carefully study the question that now confronts them will, we are sure, walk boldly UT to the polls and vote the straight ticket Every man on the democratic ticket frem the candidate for first selectmar down through all the list of the city town and school candidates, is worthy the support and should receive the back ing of every man who has an interest ir the democratic party and the munici pality of Waterbury.
 Neither should the ward tickets b. neglected. The opportunity seems a hand for securing majority in botl boards of the common council, and witt earnest work we can anticipate this con summation so devontly to be wished The first and third ward tickets, es pecially, should engage the most earnes attention of the committees
 There should be no faltering and m treachery on Monday, but long pull, strong pull and pull altogether for tn success of the entire democratic ticket.

The Pupils stand by . DepOsed Professor
 and Demand His Return.
 HARTFORD, Oct. 4.-The dismissal of Professor F. R. Childs from the Hart ford High School is creating good deal of talk and much feeling in this city. The pupils are almost unanimous in favor of the teacher, and have ex- pressed their disapproval of the action of the Board of Education in Q most characteristic manner. Passersby on Pennington avenue this morning were confronted with a unique banner sus- pended from an electric light wire at the junction of the street with Asylum avenue. It consisted of a pieceaaof white cloth several feet square. upon which was printed in huge black let ters, '"We want Childs." Of course it attracted a great deal of attention.
 There is also a strong pnblic feelin g in favor of a fair hearing and investi- ga tion of the charges made against Pr ofessor Childs. If there are good req sons, the public have right to know them, and if it is only jealousy on the part of Principal Hall, it is equally important that it should be investigated.

A s.ls Lonth.r Calculation.

There are soo, 900 of people that walk about the streets of London daily, and in so doing they wear away a ton of leather particles from their boots and shoes. This would in Q year form 2 leather belt six inches wide and one- fourth of an inch thick long enough to reach from London to New. York. The amount of disintegrated leather at 26 cents a pound (what it costs consumers) would amonnt to 5000. Reduced to . strap one inch in width 1t would reach more than once around the world.
