NIICk BRIDGE RIHDING.

After the foot bridge left Ansonia and
 loated into the sound, the people living on the west side were compelled to cross the Lower covered or brass mill bridge, which was a great inconvenience. pe- titlon was drawn and signed by 40 prom inent people residing in West Ansonia, asking the selcctmen to call a special town meeting in favor of building new
 foot bridge. On Wednesday evening. the selectmcu met in the borough build ing and considered the question. It was decided to rebuild the bridge without calling a meeting of the legal voters to decide the question. Thursday, William A. Barnes of the firm of Bronson & Blrnes, was on hand with posse of men whose familiarity with the use of tools and lumber was unquestioned. On Fri day forenoon people were crossing and by night it was finished. It was esti- mated that over 1000 people crossed be- fore sun-down. Should this bridge pass down stream. another will not be built.

Saws the Canton News:

Guys tut ShliUull 4NoWS.
If the ten senators who own great silver mines
were out of tho United States senate, the silver
question, which is now ''the absorbing question
of the hour would drop out of sight as quickly
as the warehouse scheme of the populsts who
sought to mako thegovernment furnish Il mar
ket at n good round price, for wheat and other
cereals. The real plot, is to force the govern
mcnt TO provide u market, at u good round price,
for the products the silver kings have forsale.
The mountair states to the west of us
are inseparably hound up in the mimi &
business, OF which the production Of sill
YER is foremost. The discovery of the
white metal has builded towns and great
cities an the %twinkling of the eye and
given employment to thousands and tens
OF thousands OF men from the over
crowded communities of the east. Other
industries have quickly followed the
establishments of the mining camps,
eastern capital has flowed i'll and where
once was only heard the shrill whistle OF
the noble stag now rumples the crest
ore crushers. The rapid development of
the far west has been of the wonders
of the present age. BM there comes Il
time when the production of silver, fur
tler progress OF the far vests greatest
industry, becomes impossible-the price
OF its chief product falls below profitable
production and Il general paralysis in all
lines OF business follows. What the iron
business is to Pennsylvania, the wool
business is to Ohio, the shoe business to
Massachusetts,, the cotton fabric business
is to Connecticut, the sugar business is
TO Louisiana, TIE production of silver is
to the states represented by the ten sen
ators above referred to. In asking that
the general government shall lend its
powerful aid in stimulating their in
dustry these senators, these mine owners,
are but following in the footsteps Of those
eastern mill owners who have for years
wendell their way to Washington and
succeeded in accomplishing the same
object. Where is the difference? Even
il the granting of their desires would cut
down the creditors assets one half and
flood the country with so cent fiat dollars
would the injustice done some of the
people-tlle creditor class-be as great
as the injustice done all the people by
the Republican party's pet high protect
i've tariff? To ba consistent our esteem.
ell Canton contemporary and all Repub-
|licans should favor the utmost protection
to American silver.

Des Moines, Sept. 13.-.Another hot, dry
and cloudless week has intensified the
drought and increased its damaging
effects. Corn has been too rapidly push
ed toward maturity for its complete
development, and the later fields will DO
light in weight. More than the usual
amount Of cutting has been done. The
pastures are dry and many farmers have
been Obliged to draw upon their stores
of winter forage to feed their stock.
This frightening OF the feeding season
nearly two months will materially re-
duce the prospective surplus Of hay and
other forage crops Of this state. The soil
is usually to dry to pillow and compar-
atiyely little sowing Of fall grain has
been done.
