A Committee From Naugatuck Valley
Towns VIII Wait Upon Vice President
futile.
The board of trade confined their dis
cushion to the matter of better railroad
accommodations, at their meeting
yesterday afternoon. This is a subject
which is daily acquiring interest to the
people of the entire Naugatuck valley.
The train service Is not such that bust
early enough in the day to do business
and return that evening. It Is thought
that by concerted effort Vice-P President
futile of the Consolidated road can be
induced to put on an express train
leaving Winsted about 6 O'Clock in the
morning and arriving in New York
about 10 o'clock. This, it seems, would
suit all the different towns. and IL the
city could be left before Q o'clock in the
evening Winsted would be reached at a
very seasonable hour. The principal
objection that-Mr futile makes is that
it Is impossible to run any more trains
to New York city at present. The
meeting finally appointed a committee
consisting of one from each town to act
with the committee of the Waterbury
board OF trade in applying to the off,
cials of the Consolidated road for better
accommodations. This committee are

interview and the committee will be
notified by Secretary V. L. Sawyer of
the board.

The trouble over the Second regiment
gatling gun is still unsettled. In speak
ing of the matter last night General
Embler said: "Now, candidly, am of
the opiniun that Lieut. Sears has received
the same gun that he sent to Hartford.
also believe that he will be convinced of
the fact before long, will receipt for the
gun and remain in command OF his very
efficient platoon. It is true that there were
certain attachments on the gun when it
was sent to Hartford that are not there
now. Down here they were considered
improvements, but suppose the manu-
facturers and officials at Hartford
thought differently and therefore re-
moved them. All four guns are now
exactly alike, barrels, wagon, wheels,
etc. One cause for the dispute which
has arisen can be accounted for by the
fact that before the guns were sent to
the repair shops the weapon In the Third
regiment had barrel spike attached.
This has been placed on all the gums
now and in every other way, as I said
before, they are exactly alike. / have
mot the slightest doubt that the trouble
will be settled amicably and pleasantly
and that the gun now in New Haven
will remain here

FARMERS around here and else
where, will read the following on bind
ing Irvine with interest:
"The Democratic proposal to put
binding Irvine on the free list is on a
par with the free wool and free silver
policy of the Democracy. The bind
ing Irvine industry is one that con-
sumes 10000 tons of Northwestern
hemp each year, and pays something
like 100000 to American labor.
We used to pay foreigners cents per
pound for binding Irvine. Now wepay
Americans ~ cents. Even if you
should add the present duty to the
price it would make q difference of
only cent per acre of wheat to the
western farmer. Free binding Irvine
would result in our paying Glasgow
manufacturers their old tribute. Pro-
badly that is the way the Democrats
want it."-New York Press.

Ireland Praised by The PODe.

ROME, March A sensation has
been created by the publication in The
Moniteur to-day of long article
which is apparently inspired by Pope
Leo. The article is a strong defense
of Archbishop Ireland, of Minneapolis,
whose visit to Rome has aroused OPP
position to his methods from Amer
lean, German and Italian sources.
The article lauds the American arch
bishop as thoroughly in accord with
Pope Leo's policy of reconciliation,
and praises his progressive methods,
especially in education, whereby he
adapts the church to the needs of the
times and his people.

Worse Than Tweed.

The Bridge bill has passed the
assembly. This is a Tammany Dem
ocratic measure, and permits in Ian
guage too clear for any doubt as to
construction, the seizure on ten days
notice of any building or other real
estate within the city Of New York.
This is Tammany home rule with
vengeance Any structure, great Or
small, occupied for dwelling or bust
ness or other uses, can be condemned
as needed for a public purpose or use,
the occupant ordered out on ten
days notice, and the Tammany Off
Gals can take immediate possession.
The fact that the bill is obviously
aimed at The Stats Zeitung build
ing, in order to punish Mr.. Oswald
Ottendorfer, of that paper, for an
tagonizing Hill and his rowdy conven-
ton, only emphasizes more strongly
the dangerous character of thep power
that it is intended to vest in a Tam
many Board. If the proposed au-
thority is to be used for revenge in
one instance, it could and would be
used for similar revenge in other in
stances. Any other newspaper dar-
ing to criticise the ring could be sub
jected to enormous loss, just as it is
proposed to subject The Stats lei
tung to enormous loss. Property
owners could be intimidated by
threats of confiscation into liberal
contributions to the Tammany treas
ury. The property of every citizen
would be at the mercy of ring,
whose rapacity is only equaled by it's
disregard of decency and of public
opinion.
Such is the danger that confronts
the people OF New York, a danger
greater than any that attended the
reign of Tweed's political despotism.
The ring now in control is shrewder
than the Tweed gang, more agrees
i've and more vindictive Armed with
the weapon of confscation, it's ar
rogance would become an insuffera-
BILE menace to the rights and privileges
of the citizens of New York.-New
