Thomas Kelly of Waterbury for
 Congress.

It seems pretty we'll established fact that the Hon James P. Pigott will have the field to himself so far as the democratic nomination for congress Is concerned. General Apathy seems to be in full com mand of the forces in the Second district of Connecticut In view of the fact that all parties concede the right to this end Of the district to put forth candidate for congressional honors. it appears to be a mighty shrewd piece of diplomacy on the part of some of our Republican friends to mention the name of Mir Thomas Kelly as the standard bearer of their party in the coming campaign. Speaking from a strictly business point of view. the Water bury Furniture company takes special pride in everything that brings Waterbury and the Naugatuck valley to the front ln the commercial, social or political world; and we make no apology in congratnl"tIng a successful merchant and an able public official upon any honors which his party may wish to bestow.
 Of course, with the Congressman and the Waterbury Furniture Company on the same street, nobody will question the supremacy of East Main street. with all it's natural advantages Its splendid width. its beautiful pavement. its wide sidewalks. its cleanliness,i its steady stream of Wise Men from the East. all poIrts the finger to destiny to East Main street as being the Future Broadway of Waterbury.

 Residents of Riverside park are greatly worked up over an incident that occurred the other evening which came near resulting in a serious accident One of the residents makes an occasional trip across Turner's bride to Curtiss' saloon to have his pail filed. A dog belonging to Thomas Wilton seems to have personal spite against this man and his pail and never fails to make yicisus attack on him whenever he passes the house. The other evening the man was on his way to the saloon. when the dog attacked him and pursued him as far as the bridge. The man thought it about time to put a s:o2 to the business and putting his hand in his pocket drew a revolver and took aim at his tormentor. The bullet missed the dog and whizzed past two men who were standing near by, one of whom de- clares he felt the bullet touch his nose. The people are afraid this man will do some damage before long. He boasts of always carrying a revolver and has been known to use it quite frequently. Not long ago his own dog incurred his displeasure and he brought out an old rife and put a couple of bullets into the animal. The dog did not seem to die fast enough to suit him and he proceeded to bury him alive One of the neighbors threatened to have him arrested if he did not kill the dog be- fore burying it. and through fear of a law suit the dog was given another dose of lead. On another occasion he fired a volley from his veranda just for fun and came near shooting little girl who happened to be passing the house. Some of the residents are thinking of entering a complain, against this man to the chief of police.

can be nothing formidable in 1t, and
that 1t may be trusted to fizzle out In
a struggling procession Of tramps, The
leaders are, of course, mere notoriety-
seekers, and their professions of being
representatives OF people who are
wronged by wicked laws and govern
mental favor to monopolists, are pueriie
II these people have petition to lay

sonal presence. according to the procia-
nations they have made, is threaten

has been American policy from the first
that our deliberatiye assemblies shall
not be molested by mobs, or even sub

population. n there was, or ever could
be, justification for a popular demon
stration in washington meant to Inn
prove the occasion, II would be by the
skilled workingmen who are subjected
to impoverishment by the incompetent
interference with the sources of their
prosperity. But the workingmen
brought the present unfortunate condi-
tons upon themselves. and know III

get out OF the scrape, and they know
that, too. There will, we presume, be
