THE DISCOVERY OF wEsrvILLE.

Having been enabled to discover that
there Is such placs as Westville and that
Wes.ville has Democratic postmaster who
has held on through Republican admin
istration, the esteemed Register shows It's
appreciation of our kindly efforts to lead
1t out of one of Its purleus by advising the
esteemed Bridgeport Post not to read
the JOURNAL AND COURIER. And the
reason why 1t go advises the Post seems 10
be that it thinks the Post has found out
by reading the JOURNAL AND COURIER that
there Is a non partisan movement In this
city to keep Postmaster Sperry in the Office
which he has 80 long aud 30 we'll filed.
In giving suoh advice what a spirit the
Register reveals. Being in a dark and
may purlieu itself 1t would iidderously
and wsntonly lead Its Bridgeport contem-
porary away from the light and the truth.
The Register no longer laughs in hys-
teric glee over the fact that some of Post
master Sperry's "enemies" want to have
New Haven have the benefit of his great
skill and experience in postal matters for
few years more. After "contenting"
itself with resisting the movement be-
cause Mr.. Sperry's whole nature must
revolt at It," after publishing ool-
umns of the purlieus of language
and argument to show that such
a movement would not be good
for Mr.. Sperry. and after refusing to
sign the petition out of friendly regard
for Mr.. Sperry," the Register has discov-
cred that 1t has wasted its "contentment,'
Its resistance" and Its "purlieus," and
that there has been no movement worth
troubling itself about. Having been SO
| troubled about 1t that 1t even forgot West
| Vile, the Register sees the necessity of
getting on to its base before 1t is declared
| out, and it has therefore made as skillful
a slide as 1t could.
But the movement still moves, and
Westville is still at the foot of the mighty
West Rock. If the Register has attached
too much Importance to the emovement and
been too hysterically gay about 1t it didn't
mean to show undue solicitude. What II
has really meant and really means is
that while Mr.. Sperry is the best
postmaster in the country, and while
| Civil Service Reform is Democratic pet
there are Democratic purlieus that must be
looked after and these purlleus demand g
Democratic postmaster for New Haven, re
gardless of what is best for the people who
are not in the purlieus but who do wan

WILL 1T SIGN9

Those who attend temperance meetings
know what an interesting moment it is
when the arguments have all besn made,
when both the temperate and the intem-
perste have been thoroughly impressed by
the eloquent assailers of rum, and when
all that remains 10 the collection, and the
signing of the pledge by those who have
been sufficiently impressed to signit. New
Haven Is now in such moment. The argu-
ments have all been made. Those who have
made them are entirely satisfied with
them, as is the case, we believe, at nearly
all temperance meetings. And now we
are waiting to see If the proper and de-
sired impression has been made on the
Chamber of Commerce, which has been so
earnestly besought not to look upon wine
any more at its annual bang uets. There
is an expeotsnt hush. VIII the Chamber
of Commerce come forward and sign the
pledge or will 1t turn its back on all the
arguments and appeals that have been
madel We hope 1t will sign.

FORCED DONATIONS.
A Clever and Courteous RObber at
Work in SoIanO County.

Rio VISTA. Oct. S.-The farming CON-
munity surrounding Maine Prairie is
greatly excited over the smooth operations
of man who began on Thursday last to
intimidate people into paying him money.
and every farmer within radius Of ten
miles hopes to effect his capture.
His method is novel and bold. He calls
at farmhouse and if he is informed that
all the male members are away from home
he proceeds to his purpose. First there is
a gentle hint to the female mem ers Of the
family that money would be acceptab Bile.
If this hint is ignored he makes it stronger
by saying that he must have money. This
usually settles the matter. However, IL a
fat refusal is given. he searches the house
and carries away all the cash he can find.
If his search is fruitless he apologies for
his rudenes and generally says as he
leaves: Il suppose l will have to visit
another house."
The unknown bulldozer has succeeded
in thus forcibly collecting large amount
of money. and Maine Prairie's two con-
stables. during their moments of leisure
from Framework. are .busily engaged in
hunting him.
