J. o. Altman, "Astute Legislator," Makes
 Reply to Attorney O'Nein. '...- Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 Sir-In his letter to the DEMOCRAT Mir O'Neill states that the new police court act does not require that costs shall be paid in any cases to the prosecuting attorney unless they are collected out of the accused.
 A week ago @ joint meeting of the board of aldermen and councilmen was held in the district court room to hear the report of Engineer Cairns. Our genial representative appeared at that meeting and stated he was about to present a bill to the legislature, pro- viding for a union railroad station ID this city. After explaining the benefits derived from such a project he said he would not present the bill without the endorsement of the board of common council. Now, Mir Editor, why did not our faithful representative ask the com mon council to endorse the new police court bill before it's presentation Was it because the people were not interested in such @ proceeding, or because the extra fees were taken out of the poor accused? v There are plenty of young lawyers in the city who would willingly accept the position of prosecuting attorney at 6 salary of $1 300. The sooner that bill is amended the better.

A hFew Points of Special Interest tc

 Business Men.
 A. w. Castle, the market man, is firmly convinced that the DEMoCRAT.is a superior advertising medium. In Mondays edition he published Q word puzzle Herring to the first one solving 1t one dollars worth of meat. Before the ink on the paper was dry the returns began to roll in, and up to this morning forty y-nine answers had been received, i, coming from all quarters of the city, as we'll as from Naugatuck. A few days ago a gentleman who had forty hens for sale placed bare an nouncement of the fact in the DEAo- GRAF want column, and for week after was fairly besieged by an army of people wanting to buy. He did not keep register of his callers but de. cIares that there were at least two prospective buyers for every hen.
 These things go to show that the DEMOCRAT is uuexcelled as an adver tising medium. It is read by nearly Ia, 900 people, most Of whom takesnC other daily paper, .-.. It is a fact that of the many loca merchants who have retired from busi ness within year either by selling ou or assignment, only one was DEMO TCRAT advertiser. B. A. Judd, the Lanl kBrothers and R. l.. Martin, dry good dealers; F. J. Rametti and D. c. Reed shoe dealers: M. F. Connolly, grocer w. H. Hoffman, confectioner, and H. Guernsey, hardware dealer, ar among those who were but are no now in the swim, and none of then were DEMOCRAT advertisers. In thi connection it is interesting to knov that the Conlon Brothers, Curran ant
 D. B. Wilson, all of whom are regula \ DEMOCRAT advertisers, bought in tn
 stock of six of the above firms. Tn
 moral is plain. =
