 HAVE an idea. Why would it not be the proper thing for twenty-five or fifty Waterbury democrats to organize club and descend upon Washington on the occasion of the inauguration of Presi- dent Cleveland? Waterbury did great work in the recent engagement and should be represented at the baptism of the new democracy. It may seem early to speak of this matter before our friends, the enemy, have had time to count their dead, but it is none too soon, as the preliminary arrangements for the inauguration are already well under way. Indeed, they tell us that organi- zations intending to be present at the exercises would better "get move" on or their applications for quarters may be too late, so rapidly are rooms being already booked.
 THE storm will be followed by a cold wave. How many times have we heard the above statement made during the past few days. Now how many DEMO GRAF readers know what cold wave really is, where it comes from, and what causes the phenomenon. The \ EsCAOACDAOh "AO h0NO oL On6 \ weather tell us that the cold waves arc developed in the northwest where, dur ing the winter months, the days are short and the nights extremely long, z condition which is primarily the cause of all cold weather. The heat received from the sun during the day is more than lost by radiation during the long night, and the condition is accelerated by the vast treeless plains which permit high degree of radiation. The sp proach of a storm renders the atmos phere warm, by reason of the expan sion of the air and the easterly ol After the storms passage the winC shifts to the northwest and at this poin the cold wave begins to be felt.
 THE action of the Waterbury court O common council in respect to the peti tion of the Horse Railroad Go is beinj favorably commented upon by the stat press. The New Haven News says:
 "It seems strange that while thes franchises are regarded as so valuabl in other cities not a single member o of our own court of common counci has ventured to stand up for the right and interests of the tax paying publi of New Haven, with reference to tn same subject"
 And this from the New Britain Circle ''Too many of our American cities hay tied themselves up by granting specis privileges from which they receive n revenue, but which are a source o enormous wealth to the grantees. Tn beneficiaries of these franchises becom intrenched in power, and use the 1T fluence which wealth commands to die tate to the municipal authorities an corrupt the politics of the city"
 GONE season in the wild and wooll west is enough for me-" said theatr cal agent to the writer, the other day "Everything goes out there, and some places they fairly discount tt worst freaks of the college boys, an heaven knows they are bad enoug when they wish to be. The man !. gers in many of the far western towI t are rare specimens. They have [ sense of the proprieties. I was e: ] amining the opera house at Fargo son g months ago and seeing but one dressir e room asked the manager where tl 9 others were, and he said he had I t more. We'll, I replied, you don't suppo
 the ladies and gentlemen of my COT - pany are going to dress in the san 2 room, do you? Whats the matte ! don't they speak said he."
