LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Populist Who Wants to Enlighten the reg People of Waterbury. 'h

PopuIist Who Wants to Eniighten the
 1es People of Waterbury. 'Hf Editor of the DEMOCRAT: '..
 Sir-Please allow me space in your pa- per, To comment on an article in your article in your Issue of the 7th Inst. and to give your readers little food for thought In starting out allow me to congratulate the Peoples Party. In selecting such champion of the Masses as H. 0. Bald win as candidate for congress from the Second District. MT Baldwins Position and ability is we'll Known. and for that purpose I will not ask space But the food for thought for Readers is. why In this Free Country of ours. Patriotic America, with two Developed Political Partys. Republican aud Democratic) Does It seem Reasonable to think that their is aney use for 3d party-and why are their Sd Party. How the people can Expect better times with Influences in force that have produced these times is what puzzells me. these conditions are results of the Ides that have controlled the people for the last generation. the Panic of 1873 should have set people thinking. and h. vestigating the causes but It appears It did not and am afraid that the Panic of 1S93-94 will not start the people thinking for you can see the Politicians already ar rond shaping thing to continue the same system that causes the PanlcS.
 right after the war the people were some what prospers. Silence then the condi- tions have ben slowelly but suely worst the Republican and Democrats such are not to blame for this neither are the Van derbuilts or Golds-for this Except as they have neglected to look into the causes that produced it they have allowed those who held their political confidence to go on as they | pleased and the combines and monopolies have manipulate their offices and Laws no old party voter except the very Rich wants these conditions to continue aney more than the reformers do. All our in- terests are identical if they knew whot produced these awful times they would remedy It at the next election if it busted every party and Politician in the land. But because the great mass of voters dc not study or know the causes and false reasons are assigned for them by theiI Leaders who profit of conditions and might state further because they have nc desire to Investigate and learn for them selves. The conditions continue and will continue as know king willingly Surren dered power and Revenue once secured from his subjects so the great corporations ai this Land will not willingly surendel the advantages of Laws that gave then more power and Revenue. Every Trust il created By Law could not Exist withough a charter from the people and the people can reasume that power when Ever they like but so long as the Ideas prevail tha these trusts have these rights so long vii the people and the trusts fatten talk your Ideas out and examine them care fully and see if they are all just and logi cal. Yours.

Extension of Washington Street.

Editor of the DeMoCRAT:
 For over thirty years the people Tn the southwest part of the city. who have had occasion to go to St Joseph's cemetery. and who comprise the majority in that section. have been obliged when visiting the last resting place of their departed friends. to travel through woods. over stepping stones and in slough up to their ankles. and when they petition the city fathers to extend Washington street to Dublin street, they are told that the only reason the petition is not granted is be- cause the property owpers are not satis- fled to pay at the rate of nearly five dol lars per lineal foot for the improvement.
 Now. we don't give a rap whose land the road benefits, what we want and must have is a road and not be obliged to wade through swamps and crawl over stone walls the same as our fathers have done for the last thirty years. Have the tax payers no rights We know and the city fathers know that this extension is n pub lie necessity and that it has been looked for not only by hundreds of people who are obliged to travel this section but by those men who are compelled to drive n mile out of their way to reach either ex- tremity.

LoNG FELT WANT.
A BRUTAL MURDER.
Dressed In Mans Clothes, n Wife Crushed
 Her Husbands skull.


 Her Husbands Skull.
 ST. LoUIs. Aug a-Frcd Kane a farm CT living just outside the east limits of Carondolet, Ills. was murdered by his wife Annie and George COntrc, who work ed for the murdered man.
 Several persons heard cries and several pistol shots. At n turn of tho road about 800 yards from his homo they found Kane in a pool of blood and evidences that n struggle had occurred Across q cornfield the struggle had been carried until the final blow with n two pound blacksmith's hammer had been dealt It carried away the entiro left side of the head ns far down tho check bone. including the eyes and part of the nusc The bullet wounds also worc in themselves enough to kill tho man.
 The weapons and bloody clothing of tho guilty pair woro found hidden near the place wherc the man was murdered. The man and woman wcrc captured. Mrs. Kane and her paramour, Gcorgo Centre, made n confession. Tho latter was the first to brcak down, and tho story hc told was strange enc.
 He stated that man named Jerry Johnson had met him and given him n revolver. with which Inc was compelled to shoot Kane. Centre then told practically the story of tEc murder as already relat- cd, beginning at the attack on kanc at straw pile and the flight across the corner of the cornfeld up to the spot where Kane was found.
 Johnson, as far as can be learned from the evidence Is Mrs. Kane. who, logged up in n pair of her husbands trousers. is said to have wieldcd the hammer which smashed in the head ot tho murdered man. Centre says she was thcrC and took an | active part in the murder.
 The strongest evidence against her is the story told by her own son, Edward Bozo who Is a stcpson of tho dead man. The boy. who is not moro than l2 or II years old, says that when the old man wont from the house to go to Bungtown his mother and George went out together | and that his mother had the hammer and a bundle. This was some time after Kane went to town and shortly beforc train | time.
 Whom he heard tho shooting and tho | screams of murder, he began to yell for his mother, who did not come in for some time after that When she did como back, she told him to shut up his noise and go to bed. shortly after that the men came up and took the whole party. The wom- an at first tried to tell the Johnson story. but when she heard of Centro's confession she abandoned that entirely, and said that 1t had all been dono by Centre, and that no such person as Johnson had been mix | cd up with the affair in any way whatever. She stoutly denied all charges of in timacy between herself and Centrc until she learned that Ccntre owned to it. kanc was n well to do farmer. He was known to have SEQ in currency on him when murdered, and this was stolen after his murder. Some of tho dead mans pa pers werc found in Centres clothes, but the money was not. Centre insists that Johnson took tho cash. Lynching was freely talked of by tho excited natives, but the prisoners were kept safely locked up.
