GENERAL KELLOGG

May Have the Congressional Nomination
If He Wants 1t.
The New Haven News finds that
Stephen w. Kellogg of this city has the
inside track for the republican con-
.gressional nomination in the second dis
trict. Republicans say that Mr. Kellogg
is the only republican that has sue
ceeded in carrying the district in
twenty-five years, and also that he was
the only man from this district during
that time who commanded attention on
the floor of the house. The leaders
admit that Mr. Gates possesses the
necessary qualifications for the nomi-
nation as far as money is concerned,
but they meet this claim with similar
one for MIR Kellogg, and also advance
the argument that the Waterbury
gentleman, who, by the way, is an
accomplished orator, will make a
personal canvass of the district. 1t is a
well known fact that Mr. Gates is not a
man that can stand before an audience
and create enthusiasm, while Mr.
Kellogg has a faculty of speaking for
hours at time and holding the atten-
ton of his hearers throughout. There
is but very little doubt that he can have
the nomination if he will accept it.

The Horse RaiIrad and the
Nottingham

Kelly says the workingmen of this city
will now have an opportunity to tell
which political party in our city govern
ment is the friend of the workingman.
The horse railroad in their desire to use
electricity as motive power, are asking
the city to grant them concessions which
will add greatly to their already valuable
franchise. If these concessions are to be
granted to the railroad, then the people of
this city, and especially the workingmen,
should be entitled to concessions that
would be equally valuable TO themselves.
One important concession should be that
the workingman should secure reduced
fare on week days to and from work. 1t
lies with the common council, which is
now republican, to secure the adoption of
this concession, and therefore the work
ingman may watch with interest the out
come.

Is the talk of the day at present, by men,
women and children and by one of our
competitors and 1t is very thoughtful for
him Tor whoever thought it for him) to
start funds for the strikers. Brennan is
in favor of the workingmen and he hopes
hey win the day.
Brennan wants to know when the
bakers are to have their picnic, they have
had no day to themselves in years, and he
thinks If all proprietors shut their place
of business up for one afternoon it would
be big help to the workingmen that
work at such confusing work. As Bren-
nan is the only baker in this city who
makes home made bread, his head baker
IS perfectly willing to give very important
tips on how 1t Is made providing they give
d picnic.

Wires Along a Trolley Line.

Wires Along Trolley Line.
A great many people wonder why
there are so many overhead wires along
an electric road, and which of them are
alive or dangerous. Ninety-nine per-
sons out of hundred know nothing
whatever about it. You have noticed
that alongside the pavement ON both
sides of the street is strung large, we'll
insulated wire. almost large enough to
be cable. That is the feeder. In other
words, that wire carries the current
from the power house and at certain in
tervals contributes it to the trolley wire.
1t is we'll nigh impossible for an acct
dent to happen to the feeder, but even
then there would have to be direct
ground connection before much damage
could be done. If the feeder should
break and fall to the ground it would
emit blaze which would prove warn
ing to all passersby.
On either side of the trolley wire are
two wires which seem to be useless.
They are dead, and are only intended to
shield the trolley. Suppose these wires
were not there and a telephone wire
should fall across the trolley? Instantly
the voltage which transmits the cars
would be flashed into every telephone
which had connection, and the result
would be very severe shock. AS it is,
falling wires Of any kind are caught by
the side wires, and hence never reach
the trolley wire. There's your primer
lesson in electricity.-St. Louis Republic.

An Experience with Snow.

Talking about snow" remarked
Archibald Lennox at the Laclede, "re-
minds me of an experience l had with
the beautiful up in Vermont. l went
up into the Green mountains to spend
the holidays with gentleman who had
the distinguished honor to command my
regiment during the war. On the even
ing of my arrival heavy snowstorm
set in. The house sat in cozy valley
hemmed in by hills. Before morning
the wind rose, the snow began to drift,
and by daylight everything but the high
brick chimney was completely buried.
Talk about the darkness that overspread
Egypt! 1t wasn't a marker to the in
side of that farmhouse.
"We had plenty of provisions, and
were not long in running tunnel to the
woodpile and barn. Then we dug our
way up to daylight. The snow had
blown down from the hills and almost
filed the little valley. The weather
turned piercing cold, and for more than
a month the family emulated the cave
jewellers. A fight of snow steps, over
which water had been poured and al
lowed to freeze, furnished egress to the
upper world. st. Louis Globe-Demo-

The best witnesses are nervous ones,
who are afraid that they will never be
able to speak SO as to be heard in court.
And the worst ones to tackle are those
who are telling the truth. If witness
has truth on her side she may be ever so
timid, but she will tell straight story,
and the most astute lawyer in the world
can neither shake nor break her word.
If a witness is telling lie clever law
yer will make her tell another and an
other and another, until she has woven
such network of lies around herself
that it is comparatively easy to break
up one of them, and so the whole struc-
ture falls through.
1t is easy to win a case for a woman
The natural chivalry of American men
makes them in sympathy with woman
when they would feel none at all for a
man. Any able lawyer will tell you that
he finds it easier to carry through one
weak case for woman than half dozen
strong ones for man.-Abe Hummel in

Lawyer Cudworth, who has a pen
chant for the curios and antiques is
in luck, as usual. He recently Sc
cured political banner that was used
at the historic Stratton demonstra-
ton in 1910. Mr.. Cudworth's
mother found it in Newfane where it
was in use as window curtain. The
banner is 3x5 feet, lettered on one
side as follows: "Harrison and
Tyler" "Men of our choice" On
the reverse side is, "Dummerston
Wing Delegation" If Harrison
should be nominated in 1896, not an
improbable event, Mr.. Cudworth will
doubtless trot out this old banner and
in the name of Webster ask every
body to rally around it.

Peru, Nov. 14th, 1892,

Mr.. Editor: We are very sorry
to learn that any one in our midst
fails to have the kindly interest in our
elderly townspeople that is due them.
We have been thinking where is there
even one that we think we might do
without. If there is even one that
we think we might spare let us hasten
to reflect that they are fast passing
down the road where the "western
sun" is casting its shadows and where
we too are fastening onward. They
are not sold fogies." They are the
"ballast" to keep the "young blood
from rising too high. We would be
glad to keep "boys" at home, but
when they make mistake do we
censure Or help them to try again !
Don't let us make ourselves so much
of unit but that we can give both
young and old chance and let our
motto be, Live and let live.

Our Friends the workingmen.


Two items of recent news show that
workingmen are beginning to learn how
to fight. A great organization, said to
embrace 1000 mechanics and laborers,
has been formed in western Pennsyl-
vania. 1t is called the Western Penn
sylvania Industrial association. The or
ganizers say it is formed for political
purpose, and that purpose is the election
to Office of only such candidates as are
pledged to the interests of the working
man. They will take no account of
party, but will stand simply and solely
on the ground of favoring the working
man. The candidate who pledges him
self to do this will secure their votes
If these men live up to their blue china,
they can secure almost any measure
they want. But the chances are that
after passing high sounding resolutions
they will drop apart and each sneak off
his own way and drop into the ballot
box his same old Democratic or Repub-
lican ticket.
The other significant news item is that
large number of striking workmen in
certain industry are starting CO.
operative factory Of their own. They
will make contracts and do work and
transact business just as the firms did
by whom they have hitherto been en-
ployed. They cannot help making a
success if they stand together, in spite
of jealousies and unacquaintance with
business forms. All they do not know
they can learn with patience and per-
severance.
Workingmen's cooperative factories
have often failed, but that is no sign
they are to fail forever. Workingmen
have in their own hands the power to
peaceably accomplish all they desire If
they will use their brains.
