RIOT DRILL,
The National Guard Will Have q Tes
in July or August.

The National Guard will Have a Test
in July or August.
An order issued yesterday from the
adjutant generals office provides for a
riot drill of the Connecticut National
Guard some time between the 10th of
July and the 10th of August. The re-
cent requisition of the mayor of the city
of Bridgeport for aid to support the civil
authority, suggested anew the vital i'm
portance of being fully prepared to meet
promptly such call.
When the drill is ordered the officer
receiving such order will within twenty
four hours thereafter report to the COM
mander- chief, through regular chan
nels, the hour of receipt of order, hour
of its PRONUNCIATION. and the hour when
the command ordered was assembled
with at least fifty per cent of its maxi
mum strength "present for duty"
Cartridge shell will be procured,
placed in boxes as near like the sealed
ammunition in the hands of company
commanders as possible, and part of
the drill will be the distribution of this
representative ammunition to the men.
They will not be considered ready for
duty until each man in line has at least
ten rounds in his cartridge box.
AS it is intended to show the utility of
the squad organization in an emergency,
no alarm on fire or church bells will be
allowed. The uniform will be "fatigue''
and the call for the drill will be at an
hour least likely to embarrass men in
their business affairs.

House Last Night.
A jolly party of fifteen gathered in
the Scovill house last night and dis
cussed a banquet gotten up in the most
approved style by Landlord Tremaine.
Chris F. Downey was the host. Some
time ago he conceived the idea of d lin
ner to bring together all the writers of
the Waterbury daily press. The fact
that G. r. Burpee, city editor of the
American, is about to enter a new field;
that Joseph A. Cullen of the Republican
has lately been married, and that James
j. Mccarthy of the DEMOCRAT is to sail
for Europe Saturday, furnished MI
Downey's opportunity and he made the
most of it.

Hartford Times, Edward B. Lounsbury

The Outlook.

Never before in the history of the
United States has there been such an
onslaught on an organization as is now
being made on the alliance. Almost
the entire press outside of the reform
press are making a relentless fight
against it, both democratic and rep.bli
can. Nearly all the leading politicians
on both sides are fighting us. The
fight too, seems thoroughly organized,
as it is being made about on the same
line in every state. The general policy
seems to be to secure the services Of a
few alliance leaders; haye them to deal
out slush, SANDER, falsehoods and mis-
representations, and then the press
passes it around with favorable COM
ments. And the wiseacre politicians
set upon their perches and sing out,
won't do Won't do! Ho! hol Won't
do" The question arises, why this on
slaught? Why such unanimity in the
opposition, and why are such desperate
means resorted to to overthrow the or
der?
The answer is clear and plain. 1t is
the first formidable organization that
has dared attack directly the Wall
street and Lombard money power, and
endeavor to remove their relentless
grasp from the throat of the toil;ng
masses. This is the issue and no dodg-
ing 1.-THE people in open rebellion

The Republican League Manifesto.

This long looked for document has at
last appeared and its weakness is it's
most remarkable characteristic. It
contains absolutely nothing worthy of
notice. 1t enumerates the material
growth and progress of the state, and
would have the people believe it is all
owing to the policy OF the republican
party. when in reality whatever of sue
cess has been attained has been achieved
in defiance of that party, and not in
consequence of it. The possibilities of
success and development and progress
simply incalculable. and instead of
pointing to what has been wrought
through the enterprise and unconquer-
able spirit of our people, as an
evidence of the benign influence
of government in the hands OF the
republican party, we should rather
hold that party responsible for having
retarded our growth to an inestimable
extent. 1t is too late, and the people of
the state have learned too much within
the last few months. for such palpable
fallacies to be forced down their Threats
any longer. Had the exact opposite of
old John Sherman's financial policy pre-
vailed in this country during and since
the war, Kansas might indeed have been
the pride and glory, not OF her own peo-
pie only, but OF the entire nation. She
might have been in a condition where
no party would have been compelled in
humility to say that
Our debts stand for our investments and
not for our losses. They represent our enter
prise and pot our misfortunes, our property
and not our poverty.
What farce Webster defines debt
as ''that which is due from one person
to another, whether money, goods or
services; that which one person Is
bound to pay or perform to another; as
the debts of bankrupt; the debts of a
