WORLD or SPORTS.

Jack Glasscock has received his ten days notice of release from Won der Ahe.
 Tim O'Neil has gone to Woodstock, Canada, for the rest of the season. He will not be released.
 Eight clubs and one championship season seems to be the universal demand for next season.
 Opposition has sprung up against Manager Wsrd in Brooklyn. It is ever thus when a club is losing.
 The Washington club has signed Jim O'Rourke. This means a lay off for Hoy, but not his release.
 It seems to be pretty certain that Sun- day ball games will be played in Chicago next season by the league club.
 Pitcher McMahon has been suspended by the Baltimore club for violent lan- guage towards President Won der Horst.
 The great joke of the season is the offer of Jack Crooks to throw the ball against any infielder 100 times for $1 ,000.
 Manager Powers says that the New York team of next year will not contain any stars. What will become of Buck Ewing?
 Caruthers makes the best captain that the St Louis club has had since the days of Comiskey. It is too bad that he has not got better team behind him.
 Won der Ahe has been studying the situation in Brooklyn, and in his opinion next season will see either President Byrne and some other mana. ger than Ward, or Manager Ward and some other president.
 Last Saturday Pitchers McMahon and Vickery of the Baltimore club went on spree, and in the afternoon turned uI at the grounds, where Vickery picked a quarrel with Harry Stovey. The result was that Vickery was knocked out in one round.

A summer yyithout N,gbts.

To the summer visitor in Sweden there is nothing more striking than the almost total absence of night. At Stockholm, the Swedish capital, the sun goes down few minutes before 10 o'clock and rises again four hours later during greater part of the month of June. But the four hours the sun lies hidden in the frozen north are not hours of darkness-the refraction of his rays as he passes around the north pole makes midnight as light as a cloudy midday, and enables one to read the finest print without artificial light at any time during the night" At the head of the Gulf of Bothnia there is a mountain on the summit of which the sun shines perpetually during the five days of June 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23. Every six hours during this season of contin- ual sunshine steamer leaves Stock holm crowded with visitors anxious to witness the phenomenon. At the same place during winter the sun disappears and is not seen for weeks; then it comes in sight again for 10, 15 or 20 minutes. gradually lengthening its stay until finally it stays in sight continuously for upward of 12O hours.

OUR SCHOOLS.

Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 During the past decade the schools of Naugatuck were conducted in a way that excluded any and all denomina- tional interference; they were strictly secular. This year, however, surprise awaited the teachers and pupils in the person of Principal Warde who gave out that a prayer meeting would be held in the High school room every morning in future. The announcement suggested to the small boy that the Sal vation Army had come to town, and the opinion was confirmed when it was found out that Mir Warde brought a couple of lady assistants with him. The boys caught on in time and MT Warde
 was dubbed "captain." so that he now goes by the name of Captain Warde. The prayer meetings were held for a few mornings until the parents heard of them, and then MT Warde's ears began to buzz with remonstrances. But MT Warde with the pertinacity of Salva- tionist kept on until direct action of the
 board checked his i'll timed zeal. Mir Warde is handsome and fine appear ing man, gallant in bearing, and has already attracted some attention as a striking figure on our streets; but is he doing good work in our schools? What classes, if any, does he teach? Will the
 board explain what his qualifications are? Was he successful in passing the usual examination required by the state
 At what salary was he employed? These
 are questions of vital importance to the
 taxpayers of the district; and the school committee and school board should bear
 in mind that while they have power to
 choose and appoint teachers, this power l is not to be exercised for their private interests diSDensiDp with lavish hand
 the public funds, but their office is a
 public trust, and the public, independent
 of creed or party, will require at their
 hands justice and fair play to all.

Mr.. Watson himself would probably
vote for it. He knows that it Is not a
dead issue, but it is an issue which he
wants kept out of the present campaign
as much as possible. 1t is not yet time
to openly make proposition of surren
to the negroes, as has been done in
North Carolina.
The tendency of the Third party is
toward the negroes, and the men Who
think of goinginto it should understand
from the first that in the event that
they are successful they must share
their power with the negroes. They
vii! be at all times at the mercy of
their black allies, and must grant
Whatever concessions the latter de
mand. They should consider we'll be
fore attaching themselves to the Third
party whether they can remain patri
otIc citizens while making the sacrifice
which will be demanded of them"

A GOOD POINT.

A great deal is being said by many
of the papers about some partisan and
sectional utterances made by Mr.. Wea-
yer during and just after the war. But
we fail to see the point. What would
we have thought of a Southern man
during those years Of bitter sectional
feeling who would not have used SINH
lar expressions about the North2 The
leaders of thought and action on both
sides did the same thing, and were ap-
plauded by their people, and if they
had done less would have lost the
respect of even the other side.
In fact it was the most patriotic
and high-spirited that were the
strongest partisans in those times; and
the test of true manhood both North
and South is now to be able to bury
all those feelings and to join hands 1n
& great fight for the cause of humanity;
in a great fight between the people and
the enemies of justice and liberty:
They say that Weaver is an enemy OF
the South. In our opinion the South
has no greater enemy than the gold
bng, it has no greater friend than the
advocate of an honest and just imam
cial system. Sectional luminosity and
the bloody shirt can not be used In his
campaign to blind economic REFORM

COL. KINGSBURY AND The
THIRDITES.

Col k~jngsbury has been stamping
his word, evidently, and he has found
q few thirdite5. Us rich to hear him
tell it. He says:
The lies that are being circulated
by the Third party papers and their
c!aQueIs are something marvellous In an
age of liars and prOfaners. We give q
few samples"
lone inteIIigentO thirdite said that
he would not vote for Cleveland be-
cause he was the tool of Wall street,
suppOsing that the street in New York
was a man instead of being the head
quarters OF bulls and BEARS"
Another lie is this. A thirdite said:
I will not vote for Cleveland because
when he was in Congress he voted
against every bill that favored the
South. The answer to this lie of ignor-
ance and malice is that Cleveland was
never in Congress-"
Another sweet and fragrant speci-
men of falsehoOd and stupidity is fur
nished by a man Of character. A
Weaverite said: i shan't vote for
Cleveland. He put a niger in his
Cabinet when he was President 1t is
hard to reach such dense ignorance.
You can see how difficult it will be to
deal with men who know absolutely
nothing and believe all evil and1ies. It
is in North Carolina a campaign of
ignorance instead of education, in the
party of the Weaverites, and a cam.
paign of lying and ~slandering instead
of fairness and truthfulness on the part
Of many"

WEAVER IN CONGRESS.

There is quite a howl being made
about the fact that Weaver introduced
a bill in Congress (three times to pay
to soldiers the difference between gold
and deprecated green-backs. The
Caucasian is opposed to this measure,
but let us see under what circum-
stances he introduced it. The bond
holders and the bankers had captured
Congress and had bled the people to
paw themselves the difference between
gold and deprecated green, backs. They
bought bonds in deprecated green
backs and then put a law on the
statute books that they should have
their interest paid promptly in gold.
This was robbery, but it was done.
Mr., Weaver denounced it. He then
said that the soldier who fought and
risked his life while the bondholder
and the banker were home skinning
the country, were more entitled to be
naid the loss than the heartless devil
Who was specializing in his country's
calamities. And he was right. Why
did not the Chicago platform condemn
the wrong that has already been done
Why do not these partisan papers
howl about the crime that was actually
committed and which we are being
hard to day3 We pause Tor an
answer.-CIintOn Caucasian.
