TO APPLY THE SCREWS
Definite Plan of the Silver Law
 Repealers Outlined.
PROGRAMME OF THE SILVER MEN.
BIT. Blackburn Introduces Ills Amendment
 to the Silver BIII-LittIe Interest Taken
 In the House on the Election Law Repeal


 to the Silver BII-LittIe Interest Taken
 In the House on the Election Law Repeal
 Measure.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. T.-The plan of action for next week has been definitely deter mined upon, and the closure will be ap- piled Wednesday at the approach of 6 o'clock. Several days ago MT. Voorhees, telegraphed all the friends of repeal of the intended programme and warned them that they must positively be in Washington not a day later than Wednesday.
 The senate will meet -; that day as usu- al, and when c o'clock arIIres Senator Voor- hees will ask the senate to remain in ses- sion. This will naturally be antagonized by the silver men, and the contest will be gin. The repealers expect to have quo rum present. and it is said that they have agreed to stand firm and follow their lead CTS until the bill is passed~ or the flag is lowered.
 It is believed that the silver men will filibuster for portion Sf the time, and when they grow tired of this they will put one of their men at the front to conduct the debate, it being the agreed policy of the repeal men that they will make no more speeches, but be ready at every mo ment when talk lags to insist upon the votes being taken.
 Programme of tho SllverItes-
 The repeal men also appreciate the fact that upon them rests the responsibility of maintaining a quorum, for they have been given to understand that the silver men will leave but two of thei- number in the senate-one to speak and the other to make the necessary dilatory motions and demand the call of the senate when they believe there is no quorum present. In this way, by having n relay of men on duty, the sil- verites expect to throw upon the other side the burden of maintaining a quorum. This is one of the clements in this strug- gle of endurance that some of the repealers fear, for it is n mooted question among them whether they can keep a quorum present throughout the entire night. The silver men appear to appreciate their advantage, and predict that they can tire what the attitude of the Republicans will be caused the Democrats, in view of this | programme, some uneaSiness. Fears are entertained that, though nearly all of them 1 are willing and anxious to vote on the ques- | ton, a number of them may not be willing | to remain up all night under the call of a 1 Democratic whip.
 ! Among other reports of the day is the story that the president has been informed of what senators consider to be the true situation and that he has insisted that this final effort be made. At all events. it is known that the programme as here out lined will be inaugurated regardless Oi what the result of such a policy may be.

THE fiutter of trepidation in Haiti at the news that the government of the United States had decided to reopen nenotiations for the mole St Nicholas, and that our war ships would call there, betrays an exag- gerated notion of the importance of the mole and mistrust of the pacific inten- ridiculous in American eyes.

Something For Honest, Sober
 Minded Men to Think Of.
The Reputation of Waterbury is al
 Stake.

While disturbances have been going on between Capital and Labor all over this country for many years, the relations existing between employer and en,1loyes in this world renOnwed industrial center have been sin gularlv free from friction. Manufac- tnrers and their workmen alike held aloft the White Bauner of peace, and all of us It rrioiceI i'll the growth of our city and the good feeling that prevailed. We have mad no MT Tricks here. The men at the helm in the various branches of industry were willing to listen to just complaints and remedy the evil as far as they were able. The same common sense and busl- ness foresight that our manufacturers have always shown will take us through this financial crisis, which every one be lieves to be only temporary.
 First and most important, the credit ot our manufacturers Is beyond question. No store-keeper will refuse their checks or pr" mise to pay It vii! serve as Ins"lu.n Gl exchange until the cash comes The work men will be willing to work with this understanding. Next We read from the most reliable sources, K. J. Dunn X Co.,, Bradstreet's and others, that the demand will soon overtake the supply. There is absolutely Lo stock ahead The manufacturers who take advantage of the present will be the hrSt 10 reap the Otuenl of the future. Is the tariff question !n the way Is there an honest man who seriously thinks that any administra- tion-Republican or Democrat-would revise the tariff without giving due notice 10 it's own citizens to save themselves from all harm-time to load and unload their stock. We do not think so Whatever party we belong to We are all Americans, and are not going to work our own ruin. When fl comes to the point there is plenty of patriotism left yet; and in this yass there is money i'll patriotism and how We Yankees love the money Furniture manufacturers are getting stock ahead as fast as they can. as they know they will be overwhelmed with orders very soon. Are We the only ones that must 70 ahead: We are compelled to occupy our new quarters (American Pin company, East Main street. in January ext. and the people will not be disappointed. Bring along your cheeks. I. 0. U's and promise to pay. and We will fill your houses with furniture. stoves, crOckery, carpets, etc. We wish the manufacturers owed us 8 round million.

Major Lincoln, one of the chief support CTS of the motion said that he was struck by the expression of weariness and loneli- ness which the countenances of some of the inmates bore when he addressed them recently, and which he thinks is almost wholly due to the separation of the men from their wives. Cottages large enough for the accommodation of four inmates and tLeir wives could be built at moderate cost. The post could start the movement and the citizens oi Connections will have an opportunity of contributing to the cause.
