THIS Is AS YOU LIKE 1T.
A Strange CommunicR Received
at This ONCE.

A remarkable document. respectfully
recommended to the members of the in
coming court of common council, came
to the DEMOCRAT Office in to-day's mail.
Some of the negative advice contained is
not bad at all. The greeting is some
what like this:
To the Members of the Incoming Court
of Common Council:
Iwould recommend that you accept a
little advice.
In the first place keep your mouth
shut while the council is in session.
That will insure you the esteem of the
remainder of the board.
If you have anything to say, don't say
it. You will feel great deal better
after the meeting. If you have any
grievance with his honor, the mayor, or
any member of the board, wait till the
session is over and settle it on the side
walk, or in the judges private room,
where gloves will be provided.
If any man in the employ of the city
wants his salary raised, vote yes every
time. You will insure his good will
forever afterward.
member larger than yourself, as it is
considered dangerous.
See to it that your friends are pro-
vided for. Let your motto be, like that
of the immortal Flanagan of Texas /;
"What are we here for"
At your earliest convenience find out
which of the many proposed water sup
plies there is most in-for you-and act
accordingly.
Dc not compromise with your politi-
cal opponents in the matter of electing
members of city boards, without first
ascertaining whether the candidate. of
the opposition belongs to your lodge or
not. - ,,f .

NEW ENGINES AND CARS.

Two New MoGuls Received Yesterday
By the Consolidated Road.
Two new mogul engines just received
by the Consolidated road from the Rhode
Island Locomotive works of Providence,
r. l., cost $4,000 each. Each locomo.
tive cost 81, 900 more than it could have
been procured for one year ago. This
was due to the increased demand from
the various railroads of the country.
The new engines are numbered IS and
20, having taken the places Of old ma.
chimes which have gone out of exis-
tence. This makes 219 engines on this
road. The new machines weigh sixty
tons each with the tender.

BRIDGEPORT, December 31.-Mr Bar
mum continues to improve, his condition
to-day being more favorable than at any
time since he was attacked with the in
fluenza. He has recovered his strength
sufficiently so that he now walks about
the house and passes many hours down
stairs. His favorite musical instrument,
the orchestrion, continues to furnish
him recreation. The physicians fully
expect that he will continue to gain
strength.

A Neglected Argument.

MI. Everett P. Wheeler, president of
the New York Reform Club, has recent
ly called attention to an argument for
neglected. In icint tariff debate at
the Weedsport, n. Y, fair he pointed
out two ways in which the farmers con-
dition might be improved. This part
of his speech was IS follows:
The only hope for the farmer of New York
lies in two things:
/. The decrease of the cost of the manu-
featured goods which he is obliged to buy.
2. The increase of the market TOR his prod
ucts in the great cities by decreasing the
cost of the manufactured goods which the
people who live in those cities are obliged
to buy.
Much attention has been directed to the
frat of these two propositions; very little to
the second And yet a moments thought
must satisfy every candid mind of the i'm
portance of the latter. 1t might perhaps be
best Illustrated by the practical illustration
of individuals. Nearly one hat of the
population of New York and New England
now live in cities The heads of families in
of various sorts, do not earn on the average,
over $40 month. OF this from eight to ten
dollars is expended for rent, and the bal
ance is all that is left for the purchase of
food, furniture and clohing. A certain
amount of furniture and clothing is an abso-
lutte necessity, and must be had whatever it
costs The economy comes in the food If
200 Oo0 persons in New York City could be
enabled by a reduction of the tariff to spen d
five dollars a month less for the various
manufactured articles they consume. that
would leave a million dollars q month more
to be expended by them for a better quality
or a larger quantity of food for themselves
and their children.

THE STORY OF OMAR.

Long centuries ago, three Persian boys.
Thinking upon their hopes of future joys.
Between them-Omar. Abdul, and Hassan-
A lasting compact made, and thus 1t ran:
Abdul and Omar and Hassan. These three
Schoolmates and friends, do solcmnly agree
That to whichever one success may come
Honor or Wealth-the hand of Allah from,
This one to each companion dear shall make
Some worthy Offering for Friendships sake.
The years slipped by, and when good fortune
came,
1t brought to Abdul honor. wealth and fame
Vizier the Sultan made him, and twas then
He thought of Omar and HaSSan again.
And they, tits said. remembering the old
Agreement, came, their wishes to unfold
First spoke Hassan: ''Of thee, Friend, my
heart
Would crave o: power to have some goodly
part,''
But Omar said to Abdul: 'sIt were well
With me, o Friend, If 1 might ever dwell
Within the shadow of thy happiness.
And from Lies grape the wine of Wisdom
press.'
Toeach was granted that for which he prayed;
The vow fulfilled the promised debt was paid.
But soon Hassan. grown greedier, forgot
HI love for Abdul, and began to plot.
Against the Sultan and the kind Vizier
Whose hand had helped him to his high ca
reer;
And at his bidding did rascars knife
Undo the3hread OF gracious Adults life
Now Omar he in peace and comfort sought
WISDOM school boy still by Allah taught;
Studied the course of planet and OF star,
And for his Sultan made the Calendar:

His gathered wisdom to record in rhyme.
To-day, OF all these three tits he alone
Whose naihs is honored and whose work is

How Jonr do our

How long do our farmers intend to
vote to keep up this Aumbuggery? Is it
to be supposed that they are such fools
as to vote taxes upon themselves in
order to protect an axe trust, which re-
turns the favor by charging them higher
prices than it charges foreigners?
Do the farmers indorse such an out
rage? Do they accept the defense made
of it by the high tariff organs? One of
the chief high priests of protection
among these organs is the Philadelphia
Manufacturer, the organ of the Penn
sylvania Manufacturers Club an Or
ganization which is said to have ex-
erted a weighty influence in shaping
the Mckinley bill This paper defends
the manufacturers for selling more
cheaply to foreigners than at home.
It says: eff an American is to sell
abroad an article which costs more to
produce here than it costs in other
countries. he must meet the lower for
eign price. The fact that he makes a
fair profit upon his ordinary trade, en-
ables him to bid low for an extension of
his trade"
Is it not time for the farmers to make
these rich monopolists IBID low" for the
home trade?

THE BRITISH SOLDIER.
He Has to Work Very Hard and Is Fe
Very Poorly.

He Has to Work Very Hard and Is Fed
Very Poorly.
Recruits when they join the army
first, can not be too we'll fed; because,
coming as they do from class which,
as a rule, is irregular in its habits, after
undergoing a regular system of drill
and regular manner of living, they
are more hungry at meal times than
they otherwise would be. In fact, they
are always hungry, and of this state
they are often reminded while on drill;
for it is a favorite saying of every drill
sergeant. when he is instructing the re.
cruits how to stand: "a soldier should
always have full chest and al empty
stomach" ''Begorra." said a vivacious
Irishman to me one day. Sergeant,
there's no use of him remindin' me O.
that; for since l listed, me chest has
always been fuller than me stomach.

Queen was so hard up, I wouldn't have
taken her shillin-rd have given one. -
This witty remark really epitomized
the feelings of all the recruits after
they first join. SO badly are they fed.
!. however, as an Englishman, though
I appreciated the mans mirth, said to
him seriously: ''Then you didn't enlist
from want?'. "Oh. no, sergeant" he
replied, Il had lashin's O. that before
joined the army" This quick answer
also explains why it is these poor fell
lows are slow to complain; for, as a
general rule. man chooses the army
as a last resource, when he has suffered
all the pangs of hunger and all the
miseries consequent either on poverty
or improvidence. Still, If it is the de-
sire of the Nation to have fine soldiers.
it must not hesitate to feed them az
men who work hard, and who should be
made capable of enduring, in time Of
war, great privations.-Ninetee

THE AXE TRUST.

How It Is Sq2eezing the Farmers and Sell
ing to Foreigners ut Lower Prices-A
High Protectioni&t Authority Defends
This Practice-What DO the Farmers
Think:
Messrs- Foster. Stevens & Co. hard
have recently sent out circular to their
customers to explain the cause for the
rise in the prices of their goods They
showed that this advance in prices was
due to trusts and to the Mckinley bill
in their circular:
There is now but one axe company in the
United States, and that is called the Ameri-
can Axe & Tool Company, with headquarters
at Pittsburgh. This company has purchased
outri ght every axe factory in the country of
any Importance, anu by thus controlling the
productie n has advanced prices on an aver
age 81 doz n. The company also controls
the manufacture OF axe polls. or the heads
OF axes, the machinery of which is patented.
and this enables it TO keep the prices on
polls so high no one else can afford to make
axes
This axe trust is one of our latest
tariff progenies, having been born only
last March. This trust was formed by
the consolidation of fourteen of the
largest concerns in the country, and
was made possible by tariff protective
duty of forty-fve per cent ad volorem
on axes This duty was left at that
figure by Mckinley, and Mckinley is
an honorable man, and the axe trust
continues to shelter itself behind the
tariff wall McKinley's high tariff wall
is great institution for trusts
Mckinley could hardly have been ig
norant when he was busy with his tariff
bill that such a trust had been formed;
The Iron Age, one of the most reputable
and trustworthy of our trade papers
printed in its issue Of March 81, 1890
the following words:

strong 'association," and have complete
control of the market nearly tha

But note what the manufacturers o
axes are doing for the home market
in return for the high protection which
we foolishly vote to them. Here is how
they sell their axes at home and abroad

THE CRUCIFIxiON NAILS.

They Are Said to He Part of . Very Ancient

One OF the most curious relics pre-
served in the Ashmolean Museum, at
Oxford, England, is a crown having a
framework said to have been made of
the nails that were driven through the
hands and feet of Jesus at Calvary.
The crown itself is embossed with
Jewels and gold, exhibiting a close re-
semblance to the enamel1ed work of the
present day, Notwithstanding the fact
that its history can be traced back to
the time Of the coronation of Agilufus,
King Of Normandy. in the year SOL As
noted in the foregoing. the portion Of
the crown which is of greatest tradi-
tional interest Is the framework of iron.

who. history says, was the discoverer of
the cross-to her son, Constantine the
Great, as a miraculous protection from
the dangers of the battlefield
The priest who exhibits the crown to
curious visitors points out, as perman-
emit miracle. the fact that there is not a
