NEwHAvENMoRNG AND COURIER OCTOBER

judge talked of nothing but the great fish that were waiting to be caught. and before they arrived at their desti- nation the colonel had caught some of the judges enthusiasm and was as anxious to get to work as the judge himself. They got a boat and the judge. who is somewhat of an athlete, said he would do the rowing at first. The colonel put out two lines. one over the stern. and the other from pole. The judge rowed slowly around the pond. which is not more than a mile long and a quarter of mile broad. and the colonel attended assiduously to the lines. He didn't get rise. After the first circuit had been made the colonel said: Seems to me that those pickerel have heard you mention are taking q day on"
 Never you mind," protested the judge. You can't expect to catch fish In minute. It takes patience to get pickerel. Now. to show you that am in earnest in this thing, will row you around again. and I'll bet you'll have fish before you get back"
 The judge pulled slowly along and the colonel sat in the stern and puffed moodily on his pipe. They went half way around without strike. Huh" said the colonel, i've might just as we'll be fishing In the middle of an asphalt pavement"
 The judge did not deign to reply. He yanked viciously at the oars couple of times and then fell into his stroke again and there was silence for five minutes.
 Then the reel on the pole gave click and a whir-r-r-r and the colonel made a grab for 1t, stopped 1t and began reel ing in for dear life. The line stretched far back among the rushes near the shore. Pull him in!" yelled the judge.
 The colonel was red in the face by this time. He tugged and hauled and tried to wind up the reel. q can't budge him." he gasped.
 The judge came back and grabbed the pole. He tugged and hauled, too. Nothing moved. q jocks" said the judge. that one weighs fifty pounds"
 Then they both got hold together. The strike had been a good one, for the hook held. They heard a tremendous splashing in the high weeds. "we're getting him." yelled the judge. Keep a pullin'."
 The splashing in the rushes grew louder. The two men pulled on that pole as if they were taking in an an-

AN IMPRESSIVE RECORD,

The record of the Republican party is an impressive one, especially the financial part of it. During each and every year from 1866 to 1892 under Republican administrations, there was an excess of revenue over expenditures. During this same period the interest bearing debt of the country was de- creased by $1,S00,0OO,OOO; the annual value of our exports increased from $337,51S,1O2 in 1866 to $i,O15, 732, oil in 1892, a gain of nearly s7OO,OoO,Ooo; and there were 14O,743 miles of railroad built. The wealth of the people in- creased from $76O per capita in 1870 to s1,O3S in 1890; the amount of wages distributed was $775,5S4,343 in 1870 and $2, ,2S2, ,s23265 in 1890; the product of our manufactures was $4,232, S25,442 in 1870 and $s, 37O, ,1O7, ,624 in 1890. With such a record as this the Republican party can we'll afford to appeal to the country, es- pecially when it is remembered that during the first year of the present Democratic administration the expen- ditures were s6s,Sos,2so greater than the revenue; that the national debt in- creasd by more than $5O,OOOOO0; and that the value of our exports was $146,- 5OO,00 less than in 1892.

4 PLAIN STATEMENT.

Some of the friends of MT. Pigott think we have done him injustice in what we have said concerning his vote to tax deposits in savings banks. They charge us with trying to make it appear that the part of the original Wilson bill which we quoted Saturday is part of the bill which became a law. AS we want to be entirely fair, even in the heat of a political cam paign, we will now say, as plainly as we can, that the part of the original Wilson bill quoted by us Saturday and again referred to yesterday is not a part of the bill which finally became a law. But we do not see how that fact helps MT Pigott any. He was willing to vote and did vote to tax the deposits in savings banks. If he afterwards modified his views under personal or party pressure he did well, but he would have done better to decline to vote for any such provision as that quoted by us from the original Wilson bill. Do his friends claim that he didn't vote for that provision, or do they claim that his eyes were not open when he did vote for 1t? We do not see how the fact that it did not become a law relieves him from the responsibil- ity of voting for it.

To New Haven Democrats. IFrom the New York Sum-


 James Populist Pigott, the present rep resentative of the Second district of Cornecticut,s should be elected to stay at home. He was elected to go. to Wash ington two years ago as a democrat. He went thther pretending to be a democrat. He now boasts that he was active in fastening the income tax upon the tariff bill, and spouts his ad- miration for the robber tax in this fash ion:
 "The principle that each man should contribute to the support of the gov- ernment in proportion to his posses sions, and therefore in proportion to the care and expense that the government is put to in looking after and guarding him and his goods, is as old as recorded civilization, and is in full consonance with the advice of Christ to His dis ciples: As the Lord has prospered you, so give.'"
 James Populist Pigott is clearly a demagogue, and a dangerous dema- gogue. He knows very we'll that the in- come tax law does not assess each citi- zen in proportion to his possessions, and therefore in proportion to the care and expense that the govern ment is put to in looking after and guarding him and his goods; but that it exempts nearly ninety-nine individuals in every hundred from pay ing any tax, and then strikes the hun dredth man heavily for the benefit of all the others.There is nothing civilized or Christian in that scheme of inequity and iniquity. i
 Nehemiah Sperry, who is running against James Populist Pigott, Is op- posed to the income tax and Is pledged to vote for its repeal. He Is repub- lican, but every democrat in New Haven, Meriden, Waterbury, Ansonia and Mid dletown, who looks to the real inter- ests of democracy and understands the immense importance. of defending our institutions against the ,encroachmenta of socialism, will vote for Sperry and help keep James Popuhst Pigott at home, where he can dc less harm than in Washington. .f

woolen crepe Is used for the plain skirt, which is mounted on a taffeta founda- tion and is arranged in funnel pleats in the back. The hat that completes the costume Is one of the many odd shapes that now abound. In the wide, almost poke-like brim there Is a sug- gestion of summer shapes, but its col ors-bluet trimmed with black, stamp it distinctly as a latter day creation.
 For late fall and winter there are shown cozy little collarette capes of vel vet, edged heavily with rich fur and brilliantly lined. They have high col lars made in one with the cape, and two or three slight whalebones are in- serted at the back and sides to insure smoothness and snugness about the neck To the woman who cannot af- ford whole fur garment this little affair offers substitute that is becom- ing and almost as luxurious in effect as is the whole garment. That being the case, what if it isn't as warm?
 A model planned for a purse of greater weight is a triple cape of ivory white plush, lined througout with er- mine and the edges of each cape en- riched with heavy point de venise. The collar stands high about the face and throat and turns over to show the er- mine lining. The wearer may be com- forted by the feeling that no one mis- takes the quality of her garment-it is eloquent of elegance.

IN THE LATTER DAYS.

There are but a few more days in which to do political work, and then election night cometh, in which no poli- tician can work. The time left for work should be improved by every Re publican who is interested in the suc- cess of his party. It should be especial ly improved by those who are trying to have the Second congressional dis
 trict well represented at Washington.
 Those so engaged have much reason to feel encouraged. They have a candi- date who inspires and justiies the en- thusiasm which prevails. There is no doubt that they are making gains daily.
 They are fighting for the real interests of the district. Such tariff reform" as the Democratic party has treated us to is not for the interests of the dis trict. The fact that more of it Is prom ised by the leaders of the party is very disquieting. MT. Pigott is heartt- ly in sympathy with that part of the Democratic party which wants and means to have more "tariff reform. :" Why should he be reelected by the vot- CTS of this district to do them still more harm than he has already done them ? If they are sensible they will not re- elect him. and the signs are many that they are sensible enough not to do that. But there should be no let-up by the adyocatea ot MT. sperry from now

The Vermont Historical society has placed q lIfe-sIze portrait of Senator Morrill, in Representatives hall. Mont pelier. IL was presented to the society by T. W. Wood, the artist who painted it. When it was unveiled the other day the venerable Senator made a happy speech. in the course of which he relat- ed the following incident: In the early days of the late war my picture was put forth by rebel Virginia newspa- per, with m advertisement offering n like reward for me. dead or alive. of $25, that was usually offered for the recovery of runaway slaves. and they described me as "a person who would be sooner suspected to have been the author of Yankee Doodle than of the internal tariff of 1S6l." The picture was. of course. pleasing to the ola mas- ters of the South, being after the Sa- tanic manner of Hogarth's Jack Arikes. but I have not learned that 1t has been made Immortal by preservation In any of their historical societies It will be for posterity to say, If posterity should ever trouble itself to say anything about 1t, whether or not the Vermonters made mistake in not surrendering me for the S25 Virginia reward.

The adulteration of essential oils has reached such a point that it is extreme Ny difficult to obtain a pure essence An Italian exporter of essence of lemon says that one of his largest American customers sells the essence for less than he pays for it.

 The total registration of New York city is 30S,793, which is an increase over the registration of last year of 42,- 644. and it is within 654 of the record of 1892, which was a presidential year. This heavy registration indicates the deep interest that the local campaign there has excited among all classes of citizens, and it is gratifying to note that the largest increase in registration Is in the wards where the Tammany Influence is not pervasive. The lists have been carefully scanned by the agents of the Good Government clubs. and 1t is believed that they contain a smaller percentage of fraudulent names than ever before. .
