Waterbury evening Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1887-1895, 1891-07-23

EX-CoNGRESSMAN KERR of Pennsyl-
vania, to whom more than any other
one man is due the credit for the demo-
cratic victory in that state last year, was
in Washington lately consulting with
the officials of the National Association
of Democratic clubs, and he brought
news that warmed the cookies of demo-
cratic hearts. Mr. Kerr is no rainbow
chaser, as his friends very we'll know,
therefore when he says he thinks that
Pennsylvania is now a doubtful state,
with the odds decidedly in favor of the
democrats, it means something. He
says that the financial crookedness of
the Delamaters and the more recent
bank wrecking in Philadelphia, has
aroused the people as they were never
aroused before against the methods
originated by Quay when he was treas
urer of the state, and besides this, the
new ballot law will be worth at least
&C, 900 votes to the democratic party, be.
cause it will enable it to prevent the
republicans voting the dead men who
have made up a large part of their
majority for years.

A LAW doesn't amount to much unless
it is enforced. Illinois has law on the
statute books that mo person, firm or
corporation shall employ any child
under the age of thirteen in any store,
shop, factory or manufacturing estab-
lishment by the day or any period of
time greater than one day" without a
certificate issued by the board of educa-
ton that the labor of the child is the
only means of support of "an aged or
infirm relative" But the law charges
no officer with its enforcement, and so
the abuse fourishes as before.

THE railroad companies in New York
have Just discovered that law was
passed by the last Legislature fixing the
maximum charge for a sleeping car
berth for any distance within the state
at eighty cents. Nobody seems TO know
how it came there, and the railroad
companies say the rate is simply
ruinous. Considering the vigilance of
the railroads in looking after their in
terests, the enactment of such a law,
unbeknown to them, is little short of
miraculous.

A singer for breath was distressed,
And the doctors all said she must rest,
But she took g. NJ. D.
For her weak lungs, you see,
And now she can sing with the best.
An athlete gave out, on a run,
And he feared his career was quite done;
G. M. D., pray observe,
Gave back his lost nerve,
And now he can lift half ton,
A writer, who wrote for prize,
Had headaches and pain in the eyes;
G.. NJ. D. was the spell
That made him quite well,
And glory before him now lies.
These are only examples of the daily
triumph of DIR Pierce's Golden Medica
Dis Overy, in restoring health and re
viving wasted vitality. Sold by all drug
gists.

IT is said that Mr. Carnegie will seek a
seat in the British parliament at the
next election. Should he succeed, he
will be obliged to Awear allegiance to
the queen, and this country will lose a
citizen who has been peculiarly loud
and frequent in his protests of loyalty to
American ideas. With the great wealth
which the American tariff has enabled
him to accumulate, Mr. Carnegie should
be able to obtain baronetcy at least in
his native country, and become quite a
social as well as financial magnate.

The Decimal Scale.
The disadvantage Of the decimal
scale is that the number ten can be only
once divided without leaving fraction.
| A duodecimal scale of enumeration
would have been much better, and, In
fact is much more in accordance with

and coinage. Had the Chaldeans OF

taken it from the giants among them
