DANBURY.

Dr J. Alexander Wade, skillful phys ician and surgeon who has recently b. cated in Danbury, took a boy named Gallagher, who had both legs broken, last winter, while coasting, to Belieview hospital for treatment. One leg did not do well, and was nearly paralyzed. They re-broke and reset the bone. It was a a success and now it seems probable that the boy will regain the use of his leg, under the doctors skillful treatment.

the building of stone roads about the country, is Col Pope, the head of the Columbia Bicycle Co. And what is the main spring of his interest in the matter? Obviously that he may make and sell more bicycles.
 young man said to the writer, on speaking of another young man, who had purchased and moved on to farm, that
 'he couldn't do anything eI>e,' thereby expressing in the same breath, his con tempt for the others abilities and call ing. That speaker owns and runs a bi- cycle. We warrant he objects to it's being put in the tax list. We will war rant also. that his income is very much larger than the others, who bought and runs the mortgaged farm, although his visible property consists of a suit of clothes, watch, and a bicycle. The trouble with newspapers, societies and and often individual teachers, who vocif- erously proclaim that they are march ! ing towards q high moral elevation, is that their tracks do not all point the same way, and hundreds of thousands of people who cannot, on the platform or in print, intelligently and gramatical- ly dispute the claim, yet have memories tenacious enough to know it, F., Mich

It takes an army of more than 1000 civil officers to administer the general government. It takes another army of nearly as many more to administer the local governments of the grand galaxy of states, to say nothing of the municipal governments of the host of populous cit ies and thriving towns. And most of these officers of the government get their living out of the public treasury.
 The government itself has become a most dangerous temptation in the hands of contending parties striving to possess it's patronage and power. It is estimated that there is one civil officer to every hundred voters; and it is always inter- estlng to know how many in every hun dred are anxiously seeking to
 GET INTO SOME OFFICE
 which draws an order on the public purse.
 It is well known that the great ques- tions of political science are often thrust aside for the sake of campaign issues wrought up for the occasion and made to win the balance of power expressly to secure the party patronage. The gov ernment is not a supreme object of pat riotism, but politics is a trade. The pride of position and the love of money, the great causes of national decay in ev- cry age, stare us grimly in the face. It cannot be doubted that party politics under the so called, and fitiy called 'Spoils system,'' has become curse to the commercial and general business in- terests of the country and source of the most dangerous social evils.
 In view of these facts the greatest movement in American politics to-day is that of civil service reform. Nothing argues more for the inherent vitality and moral tability of our popular sys- tenn of the government, than the alacrity of the public conscience in demanding this timely measure for the correction of a
 MOST DANGEROUS ABUSE.
 Civil service reform aims to redeem the government as far as possible out of the hands of party. patronage and TO place it safely upon basis of sound and perma- nent business principles. It is simply a return to the fundamental ideas o1 ! political science and an enlightened Christian statesmanship upon which our fathers built.
 Every man who is factor of the gov ernment is virtually responsible for what l the government is and does. When one votes and works for his party he only does his duty as citizen and he is bound by every consideration to vote dnd act | for the common good.
 1 A man has, therefore, no more moral right to any office under the government. as reward of party zeal, than he has l to share of his neighbours income be lcause they have been good friends.-IO, o. Wright.

HE WOULD TAX BICYCLES.


 Replying to your editoral, IWould say who then should be taxed to build bet ter country roads? Why the man through whose property they pass-the farmer. He already pays, or helps to pay for many village improvements in which he does not even remotely share, and there must be found room in his rude vehicle for an additional load. It is said that statistics show, that in this country the farmer owns but 25 per cent of the property, and pays 80 per cent of the tax, and we have not yet heard, or seen in print the statement disputed. This, be it understood, is not because he is more honest, or public spirited, but because his property is exposed to the tax gatherer's eye.
 Who expects to be more benefited by improved country roads than the wheel man? And why should he not bear his just portion of the expense incurred in making them better?
 Perhaps the man who has made. and is still making, the most effort to compel

 The pneumatic tire runs so smoothly that it puts courage into horses which have acted as if posed of faint hearts, and by the reduction of friction around the turn it contributes not less than one second to the speed rate on each turn.

 It is generally conceded that the aver- age country road is disgrace.
 Why not devote few dollars to the relief of galled and broken down horses that have lost their health on our miser- able highways.
 A spirited mare will not work away from her colt without fretting.

 The inhumane practice of useipg the so-called s'eontro1ling bit" spoiles ten horses for every one on which it has a salutarv effect. Besides it iS device handed down from the days of antiquity when horse and man were alike of a very low and bruIish order and every thing was done on the brute force plan which ought to find no place in this en- frightened age of arbitration.
 The large oth-leathered bit will make the tender-moulhed horse prompt and pleasant, and the tongh-btted or "puller'' will not fight it. Strictly choice roadsters are very scarce and bringing good money any where.
 Plenty of oil on the moving machine horse rake and wagon saves lots of horse flesh, to say nothing of lengthening the life of the machine.
 An ordinary trotting horse going at speed places his steps almost in straight line and about equal distance apart. The method usually adopted for measureing horses strides is to pre- pare portion of the track at a point where the speed rate is likely to he greatest so that all old foot prints shall be completely erased; then, after the animal has passed over the prepared spot at full speed measure with a tape line five tracks being particular to start and finish the measurement at the same point of the hoof mark. The distance covered by these few steps constitute what is called the horse strides. the first and last or the two outside tracks be- ing made by the same foot. The aver age stride of our performers that trot at the rate of from 2.l0 to 2.25 is perhaps | IS l-2 to 19 l-2 feet.

WEST MORRIS.
ATTRACTIONS OF WEST MORRIS.


 I notice in THE BEE that the corres- pondeuts of this paper write very inter- esting descriptions of the several local ities and the beautiful scenery that exists in the neighboring towns, namely, Litchfield, Morris, Washington, New Preston and Warren. West Morris is one center of attraction for the numerous city boarders that come in this locality for summer resort. West Morris is situated on the Shepaug, Litch- field and Northern railroad, and is only three hours ride from New York, and has conveniences of express, telegraph, and postoffice. Under this heading l will only attempt to show in general way the great advantages which West Morris enjoyes in this direction as to health and pleasure resort. To one seek ing quiet summer vacation from the busy throng of the city, will find this place adequate to much needed want to retire in the country from labor to re- treatments, and to solace themselves from the tied-down busy life of metrop- oils. The first question that suggests it. self to person who is contemplating a change to the country, is how will my health be affected by the change? No matter how great the financial advant- ages of state or country are, it will re ceiye very little consideration if the bene- fits of afforded are to be purchased at the cost of health and may be, life itself. But nothing of the kind is to be feared m coming to West Morris, with all the advantages of this healthful climate. Millions of money are spent annually in crossing the seas to seek for health and sunay skies in other places of note, when at our very door there are fields, fine trout streams, beautiful lakes, and moun- tains of the most picturesque views in Connecticut. Many are longing to get out in the country to dwell with the well provided farmers to pertake of the whole some food spread On their tables that is healthful. Such a life becomes fascinat- ing from the mere pleasure of perfect physical existence.

Strawberries have been very plentiful (dispite the dry weaUher) and cheap. The children have accumulated colossal fortunes picking for the various berry farmers of the town. But to know the strawberry in it's perfection one must gather them from his own garden. There and there only can one find them ripe, rich, sweet and of deep cardinal red from stem to tip. An amateur city farmer once in estimating the profits( Dof farm ing said his strawberries cost him five cents apiece. If his strawberries were as good as mine, they were certainly worth that for 1 would rather have three of the great, sweet, beauties as dark as a "Gen Jack rose than a quart basket of the sour, green, banged, bruised ones that are 80 frequently hawked about our streets.
