IT IS A TAX.
The So-Called Federal License" Is Not
 Liquor License.

The SO-Called Federal License" Is Not
 Liquor License.
 Many people carry on the liquor busi- ness in violation of the laws under the moral sanction of what they believe is a federal license" where in fact the United States government does not issue a license, the so-called $25 license being simply tax. Liquor is sold under cover of this tax and those who can reasonably do so plead ignorance of the law when prosecuted.
 To render impossible any similar ex- cuse hereafter, the stamp taxes issued after July will bear across its face the following:
 "This stamp is simply a receipt for a tax due the government and does not exempt the holder from any penalty or punishment provided for by the law of any state for carrying on the said busi- ness within such state and does not authorize the commencement nor the continuance of such business contrary to the laws of such state or in places prohibited by municipal law

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

Complaint Against the New Benedict X
 Burnham Superintendent.
 To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 Sir-As large portion of your readers are probably aware that a change has taken place in the management of the Benedict & Burnham Manufacturing Co.'S rolling mill, l shall give to them through you a sample of what this change really means to the old employees of that concern. MT Morse, the newly appointed superintendent of the rolling mill, took up the reins of office on the 2d inst, and on the morning of the 4th came over to me and peremptorily ordered me to go at once to work at the pickle tub, taking me from the position 1 held for over five years under Mir Woodward, around the cabbaging ma chine. Iwould have To objection to a reasonable change, but as l had gwen thorough satisfaction ill the position had held, and as 1 believed 1 was the first victim selected by Mir Morse Tn the carrying out of the policy he pursued in Scovllrs and in Bridgeport, of driv. ing out by any preteXt whatever, a large portion of the old employees, thought as matter of principle 1 would leave before agreeing to any of the tyrannical changes he seems bent ol making. The Benedict & Burnham Co has been prosperous concern hnancl ally unler the old management, and fl the directors think that ny tine aid of Nil Morse and his policy of antagonlzing al the old employees, who have contributed so much toward building up the con cern, they may in very short time re grrt their nasty action in not letting very well enough alone.
 Yours truly,
 M MCCORMACK

POLICE COURT.
Three Italians Held For Assault With
 Intent to Kill.


 Three Italians Held For Assault With
 Intent to Kill.
 In the police court this morning Joseph CIrello, Constantine Capezuta and Frank Capezuta were charged with assault with intent to kill. Late yester- day afternoon a row between the three above named and Peter Angelo Roia, another Italian, occurred in Frank Man. gino's saloon on Pond street. From what can be learned it appears that Roia was looking for fight and was accommo- dated by the others. The four were ejected from Manginos saloon and re- newed their quarrel on the street and Roia was severely handled. He was removed to his home on French street where his injuries were attended by Dr North. Roia swore that he was shot by Constantine Capezuta and clubbed by the other two men. The three were arrested by Officers D dds, Pagan and Healey. This morning Dr North told the court that Roia was suffering from a bruised face and scalp wound It inches long and quite deep, which had evidently been made by an instrument that was not sharp. although the cut was regular. He did not consider the | injuries dangerous, and tn" injured man will probably be able to appear in court the latter part of the week. The case was continued until Friday, each of the prisoners being placed under bonds of $500. Judge Cowell gave bonds for one of the Capezutos, taking bank book as security, and the others were tempora. rily locked up. Cirello keeps a fruit stand on East Main street near Orange, Constantine Capezuta in engaged in the same business near Spring street, Frank Capeznta is laborer and the injured man is a cobbler.

 Thursday next is the last return day in the supeIiur court for new business in the civil side. Any new court actions handed in after Thursday will have to go over for two weeks before the court takes formal cognizance of the same.
 Ifquo warranto proceedings are to be begun at once by Governor Morris for the office of governor of Connecticut, the papers will have to be returned to tke superior court before Thursday, or there will be another intermission of two or three weeks.
 It is understood that Governor Morris's attorneys will be ready by Thursday to begin the heroic work of dislodglng Governor Bulkeley. Possibly the move may be made on Wednesday.
