A HALT CALLED.

Last Friday an injunction was served by Sheriff Allen on the county commis- sioners and the county treasurer prohib- iting them from purchasing the "Doug- las place. at North Canaan, where they intended to locate the Litchfeld County Temporary Home. David E. So1le, of New Milford, is plaintiff, and the county commissioners and the county treasurer are made defendants The in- junction was drawn by l.. J. Nickerson, of West Cornwall, who appears as attor- ney for the plaintiff. Mir Nickerson has associated with him F. M. Williams of New Milford. The injunction is signed by Judge Robinson of the Superior Court, and puts the defendants under the penalty of S1O,OOO not to complete purchase. The following is an outline of the complaint:
 1st. The plaintiff is tax payer. 2d. The defendants are county off, cers.
 3rd. That the county commissioners bought tine Douglas place." which is described as an ''elegant, elaborate and expensive dwelling house and an expen- | sive tract of land," and that s'the defen- dants are about to obligate the county in the sum of $1O,OOO to pay for the furnishing and fitting up of the same. J 4th. The defendants have acted without any legal right or authority and | without any direction from Litchfeld county.
 9th. "The purchase of said dwelling house and land and the fitting up and furnishing of the same, if made and con- pleted would be unnecessary, useless, l uncalled for and extravagant, and the said county of Litchfeld has no need for said dwelling house and land or either"
 9th. The purchase if made would create large and unnecessesary tax on | the country.
 7th. No appropriation has ever been made, and the defendants have no authority to make this purchase with. out such appropriation by the county representatives.
 Sth. The purchase would create ar annual expense of many thousand dol lars.
 The injun ction is made returnable the first Tuesday of September, thougt in all probability there will be motior for dissolving the same at this term O
 the Superior Court now in session.
 LATER. The injunction case was cal
 led up yesterday morning, and the hear
 ing set down for tomorrow (Thursday
 at 9 Q. m.

There are many different stories as
to the origin of the term Yankee. That
which is most generally accepted, how
ever, is hat il came from the Indian
attempt TO pronounce the word English
or the French equivalent, Anglais.
This explanation would put the origin
of the word Yankee at a date in the
early English settlement of the Allan.
tic coast of this country. Another the
DRY is that it was a cant word in east
ern Massachusetts nearly 200 years ago,
which meant very fine, as a Yankee
good cow a Yankee good gun" etc.
The designation is usually applied to
residents Of New England. Immedi-
ately before and during the civil war it
was held TO mean a citizen OF the north.

the term 50 as to include residents Of

The aus Of poverty is found in the
monopolization Of natural bounties, pri-
vute control of railroads, contraction Of
the currency and the unjust apportion-
ment of burdens and rewards.
According to the tenth census the
average yearly earnings Of American
labor decreased from a little more than
800 in 1870 to a little more than $500 in
1880, yet the wealth Of the nation in
creased during hat period more than a
billion dollars a year.
In 1850 the farmers of this nation
owned three-iifths of IT'S wealth, in 1880
they owned but one-third Of its wealth.
and today they own but one-hfth Of
its wealth. Yet the farmers are still
paying the so per cent. Of the taxes paid
by them in 1850. The farmers Of proud
