TAXPAYERs' RIGHTS.

Scarcely fOrty-eight hours have
elapsed since Commissioner Kelley
moved in the meeting of the road board
that in future in all city work citizens
and taxpayers be given the preference,
and the motion was carried without a
dissenting voice; and now in every
quarter this motion is giving rise to a
score of questions. The commissioner
stated that his attention had been called
to the fact that the work of cobble-pav-
ing, or gutter paving had been given to
outside parties, when citizens and tax
payers of the city of Waterbury have
been walking the streets idle. Already
upwards of 81 900 have been expended
in cobble-paving this year and we under
stand less than $4,000 of that amount
was received by taxpayers.
This is startling statement, and gives
rise to the question: Who does this? Is
this the way that business is done in the
street department, and in the sewer de-
partment? Is this the way that the ap-
preparations of $4,000 for new work
and 10000 for repairs on our streets
were expended? Is this the way that
the last additional appropriations recon-
mended by the board of finance and
granted by the court of common council
are to be expended? Have the repre-
sentatives of our people in the different
| boards of the city government sat in
silence and allowed such a state of af.
| fairs to obtain?
Commissioner Reiley's simple motion
in the interest of justice to
the citizen taxpayers of ouI
city is filled with food for reflection
That something is wrong is plainly evil
dent. At whose door shall it be laid
1t behooves the peoples representatives
to bestir themselves, to investigate the
matter and to discover if possible what
shall be done in the interest of justice
The DEMOCRAT will gladly aid in the
Investigation.
Since Wednesday nights meeting o.
1.-The road and sewer boards many com
plants of at least a doubtful nature
have reached this Office. 1t has beer
stated that in several instances par
TALLY has been shown to individuals t
the detriment of the taxpayers. Gu
taxes are already very high, but the.
are cheerfully paid on the representa-
ton of the necessity of lettering on
conditions locally and giving employ
ment to our people. If this is not don
the ends for which taxes are levied ar
not served and the people are in man
ner defrauded. We would have thi
Iccase. If any individual or individual
4 are responsible for such a state O
affairs, they should at least be asked t
show cause for such action. If it b
found that they are the cause whic
produces effects detrimental to tn
interests and contrary to the wishes @
the people, the cause should be re
moved. Investigation should be tn
principal motive of every representa
tive of the people of Waterbury, unit
every complaint can be explained c
removed.

Much has been said against the clam
as an article of food. 1t has been ac-
cuscd of being an ally of the doctor, the
dentist and Observation-Disclosures, but at last
the succulcnt bivalve has an able
champion in n Philadelphia physician
who says: The clam is a most efficient
medical agent; firstly, it is q great
brain food, and stimulant at the
same time, highly valuable to all who
live by mental labor. One or two
CLANS taken daily will supply both
nourishment and u natural, harmless
stimulus, doing all the work of alcohol,
and doing it better, without any i'll
effects. Again, the clam is most i'm
portant remedy in cases of alcoholism
or mania-a-potu. 1t absorbs the poison
from the system and removes it, sup
plying also it's own unique nourish-
ment. The valuable properties of such
an agent cntitle it to high rank in the
economy of life"

IT appears that there is some doubt as
to the right of the governor of Tennes-
see to commute the sentence of Colonel
King to imprisonment for life. The
constitution gives the governor power
to pardon or to reprleve, but the con-
tention is that no reasonable construc-
ton of language can make pardon or re-
prieve mean the substitution of one
punishment for another.

Chauncey NJ. Dcpcw's famous speech in
introducing Mr.. Cleveland at n banquet in
New York on Oct. Q, 1890. deserves to be
reproduced now to show what a leading
Republican orator thought of the Demo
cratic candidate when he was not the
standard bearer of his party. Here is
what he said:
"If We're asked to name the most force
full character in American life. the man
who best represents the energy, the un-
swerving determination and tho courage
of the true American; the man who knows
duty and it alone, when public servica
commands it: the man who wars In war
and is for peace in peace, I would name
General w. +. Sherman. But if I am to
namc tho typical American. the man who
loves and believes in his country beyond
everything else; the man who, determin-
ing once in what direction his duty leads.
cannot hr swervcd from the path-thc man
who is doggedly persistent in what he be
| lievcs to he right-the man who thinks not
| of self, but of his country and it's needs. I
wonld name Grover Cleveland.
What he has accomplished is the very
highest attribute to the possibilities of
American citizenship. a country lawyer
| in the city of Buffalo. he shed luster upon
| the high profession which he had chosen.
AS the mayor of his native city he pre-
sented rs his record n clean and economical
administration. Coming into the highest
position in the land without previous ex
pericnce. sand with scarcely precedent tc
guide him in the conditions which sur
rounded him, he won the affection of his

miration of his opponents. l find myself

WHO PAYS TIE puTYr
A Big Bull by Secretary of Agriculture
insl

Rusk.
The proposition that the foreigner pays
the duty has received a deadly blow in the
house of it's friends. Uncle Jerry Rusk,
the secretary of agriculture, who has al
ways seemed impressed with the idea that
it is his highest duty to instruct the farm
ers of the country in the beauties of pro-
lection, has committed himself to a most
astounding "free trade heresy," admitting
even that the tariff tax is added to the cost
of goods and is thus paid by the consumer.
The following communication tells its
own tale:
WEATHER BUREAU, WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.
The Secretary of Agriculture:
SRI have the honor to return herewith
house bill No. 3,947, appropriating $4,000 to es
tablish signal display stations on Middle and
Thunder Bay islands in Lake Huron, which
you transmitted to me for suggestion.
This bill is of the same general character as
senate bill No. 295, which ] returned to you
Dec. 20, 1891, and which appropriated Sl2,7OO
for this purpose. The estimate for this bill
was originally made by this Office, but since
that time change in the tariff laws has near
ly doubled the cost to the government of tel
egraph cables. The government now cannot
import free of duty as formerly. Instead Of
$500 mile the estimates should be increased
to-
% miles land line. at 500 per mile........ 1900
Total. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. .....SZJ,zUO
z am, very respectfully, your obedlent serv-
ant, MARK w. HARRlNoToN,
Chief of Weather Bureau.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Feb. II.
Respectfully referred to the committee on
interstate and foreign commerce. house of rep
resentatives. l approve OF the rccommenda-
| ton of Professor NJ. w. Harrington.
J. NJ. RUsK. Secretary.
But there is one feature of the case here
which Uncle Jerry did not point out in his
| formal approval of the weather bureaus
| report. He did not remind the house COM
mittee that when Uncle Sam pays duties
at the custom house on telegraph cables
for the weather bureau he merely pays the
money from one pocket into another. The
custom house returns are increased and
the weather bureau costs more; but it is
| all the same to Uncle Sam, as he has the
| money in his other pocket.
| Could not Uncle Jerry have pointed out
| to the American farmer that the same does
not hold true of him, that when he pays
| the tariff tax his dollars are transferred to
| Uncle Sans pocket, or, what is still worse
| to the pocket of some protected tariff
baron, and that they return not again1
