That the Laws Should Protect White
 and B ack in Lynching.
 T. Alexander Beckam of Stamford. who is president os the Connecticut state demo- cratic league of colored voters. recently appealed to President Cleveland for some expression of opinion in regard to the lynchipg of negroes. The president has replied as follows:
 II can hardly think it possible that you need any word of mine to assure you that I am in favor of law and order, and op- posed to mob vengeance in any case. and whether the subjects to it are white or black. The laws of the land are, or ought to be, sufficient for the protection of any citizen, and strong and certain enough to redress every wrong against society. and to punish every crime"

AMONG THE RlFLEMEN.

Second Regiment Members Who Are
 Taking an Interest In Shooting.
 The regimental shoot will be held at the Quinnipiac rife range in New Haven to- morrow. The local and out-of-town com- panies will be represented by teams and some good shooting may be expected for the prizes offered. Big scores, however. are not expected from the local com panies. as comparatively little shooting has been done this fall and summer.
 Several members of the Second regi- ment held a competitive shoot Saturday at the wallingford range for positions on the regimental team in the annual brigade shoot which is to be held next month: The scores made were as follows: Lieuten- ant Young 1S4, Captain La Barnes 1S1, Captain Landon 175.

JOHN CLoHEssY DECLINES.


 Please allow me space to publish that am not a candidate for councilman in the third ward. I feel highly fattered by the use of my name, notwithstanding my un- folded intention that I did not wish to seek the honor. Would my private in- terests permit, would gladly serve the interests of my city and ward to the best of my ability. were elected; but as it would be impossible for me to attend to my own business matters and act as a representative of the third ward at the same time, naturally conclude that I may know my own private interests best. whereas there may be hundreds who could better serve the interests of the ward and city. I do not wish to see my name in public print. but as necessity compels me am obliged to just now.
 Yours truly,
 JOHN CLoHEssY.

. Sunday Paper. Denied. T.e Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 A sensational article in yesterdays Globe stated that the occupants of my house on Baldwin street were in a state of excitement over the alleged appearance of a ghost.

Never in the history of the world was there as much Sugar ss there is visible to- day. and in my opinion it has reached the highest price it will sell for this fall and winter. I further bslieve that if the un- kind act passed by the late congress putting a duty of 40 per cent on sugar, had not become a law. I would be able to sell you 30 lbs of Grsnulated Sugar for s1 co before the fIst of January, 1895. What brought about this large sugar crop? The Mckinley bounty of 1891. and it this act had been left as it was and bounty paid for two years more as was intended, we would be exporting. and sugar would be as cheap as four.

WE notice through our exchanges
that several State Teachers Ger
tifcates have been granted recently
to various persons, many of whom
underwent not the least shadow Of
an examination for the same. This
indiscriminate, promiscnous, and IN
judicious licensing Of teachers
merely upon the recommendation
ofa third person has brought about
the time when the State license
holders is no longer a roll Of hon

longer implies scholarship, and not

ABOUT month ago the news
papers announced the appointm ent
Of g. G. Mitchell Of this place as
Consular Agent to New Castle,
New South Wales. Evidently it
was the intention Of the Depart
meut to give q lucrative place and
one OF honor TO this part OF Arkan-
sas. At the time of the appoint
mcnt 1t was thought from the
printed reports, that the regular
fees of the position would amount
to about $4,000 annually. But on
investigation ii develops that the
position paid in regular fees, in
1898 only 81 ,287, and the notarial
fees were nominal, The distance
from here to the consulate is over
5000 miles, and the cost Of travel
for Mr. Mitchell and his family
would approximate $1,000. In
view of these facts it can readily be
seen that unless he were wealthy
(while in fact he is really poor) he
could not afford to accept lie
would have to bear all his expcn
scs Of going and coming tor travel
and fer living while in the dis
charge of his duties. His fees do
not begin to run until he actually
enters upon duty. While he and
his friends earnestly appreciate
the honor conferred, not only upon
hIn, but upon the state in which
he lives, he cannot for the reason
given accept the position. He is
now, and will contlifaa to be in the
race for State Senator until the
people decide his fate in the prem
