Stray Leaves From a Reporters Note
 Book.
 As election day draws near it may not be amiss to remind the selectmen that a suitable voting place should be provided for the women voters of the fourth ward. The members of the town committee should busy themselves about this matter tco. Last year the humiliation the women voters of the fourth ward were put to in forcing their way through a crowd of men into the long dark corridor of Turn hall was made the subject of much unfavorable comment, not only by the women who called there. but also by men who saw the condition of things and at once concluded that some more suitable place should be selected for the women at the next cleo tion. It is safe to say that if this should not be done it will not take long to com pute the women's vote of this year, for every one of them who voted there last year declared on leaving it that no amount of per- lsion could induce them to call there again on the same mission and quite good many bolted at sight of the pas sageway and returned home without voting at all This should be remedied If con- didGtss exuec. tn, fair rex to vote for them they should at lta.t procure some place where they can cast their ballots Wltuout DeluS ooiiBeu lo Iorce tneir way up to the booth among a crowd of men, some of whom are not over polite in mak. ing way for the timid voter. vacant store on one of the main streets would be very desirable and it is to be hoped that the matter will receive the attention oi the proper authorities in due time. The matter is referred to at the request oi several women voters who desire to state that they shall not vote this year if the booth is located in Turn hi Il. They have no fault to find with a gentleman as checker, but would like to know if one of their own sex could not be employed to dc that job. Give the women voters all they ask for. voting booth away from the hor rid men and a lady checker to call out their names and few more bright, activ, ladies to manage things around the ballo box. The women can tend to their owr | affairs if they are only permitted to do so

A Comparison of City and Town Methods

A Comparison of City and Town Methods
 by Taxpayer.
 To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 The recent publication in the local papers of the financial status of the city for the current J ear gives assurance to the taxpayers that there is nothing to conceal. but everything to disclose in an open, fair way so that all who run can read and know just how the affairs of the city are conducted. The mayor and city auditor have given these reports to the public oc- casionally, through the current year and al- ways have them at hand at every nesting of the council and boards. Assuming the figures to be correct the reports are models of painstaking and methodical bookkeeping. containing the appropria- | tions in full which the city government | had placed in its hand on the first of last January and showing with each consecu' tive report, the amount expended from each appropriation, and the balance oi to taxpayers. a credit to the system and 6 compliance with law.
 How different has it been with the town | authorities. The selectmen last year dio not issue a report until several days aftel the annual election of 1893. The sam' selectman was returned and the repor gave vent to a popular burst of advers
 criticism that resulted in four monste
 town meetings at which the selectmeI
 were ''called down as they never wer'
 before. The matters under discussion
 were set as near right as possibl
 through arbitration, by committees o
 citizenf. Vote after vote was passed de
 fining the duties of the selectmen, fxin
 appropriations for the present year, an'
 so circumscribing the powers of the select
 men, in that the taxpayers could kno'
 from time to time what was being done il
 the selectmen's office. Now although it i
 within ten days of election no authenti
 cated report is forthcoming. although fire quently called for in the public press Yesterday evening the American publishe a statement, which statement has seen f
 to christen itself 1.-The general ecaritula ton of the expenditures from the year a , compared with the previous year." It i believed by many that this infantile state ment is altogether too "previous. Ther l are no signatures to the offspring of i'm } pulsr, no one verifies its authorship.

 Republicans who furnished money and took an active part in the democratic primaries last night. particularly in the fo Irth ward, need take no comfort to them selves or fancy that they will create dis sention in he democratic ranks. A few cheap republicans politicians tied on to the tail end of a primary kite. who ought to be attending to other duties. were seen to be excessively active in trying to manipu- late ward caucuses. Enough of this. The democartic party can take care or it's own funerals and its own cats. Let republi- cans settle the difficulties in their own camp. Tn their own way.

 Never in the history of the world was there as much Sugar as 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 believe that if the un- kind act passed by the late congress putting duty of 40 per cent on sugar. had not become a law, would be able to sell you 30 lbs of Granulated Sugar for s1 % before the hist of January. 1895. What brought about this large sugar crops The Mckinley bounty of 1891. and if 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 flour.
 If you have a distressed feeling after eating, use Entire Wheat Bread, and if you want to taste the incest Butter in the world ask for my EIgin Creamery.

 neighborhood, the reporter talked with one of the ex-committeemen and as ked if he could assign any particular reason why so many of the town school teachers belong outside of the town. He said he did not know, except that everyone wanted to get job for his friend no matter where she had been educated. Asked if he thought it was not a reflection on the graduates of the High school of Waterbury and on ths members of the town school board of ex- aminers who had awarded certificates to several such graduates as being competent to teach in the the town schools, to pass them over and employ teachers who had been graduated and awarded diplomas in other towns. he said: ''It might be some. [" In answer to the question. ''If you had a daughter graduated from the High scht 0, of Waterbury and who had passed a sue cessful examination for teacher before the | tsvn board of examiners. would you not claim that all things else being equal, she should have the preference over all non resident teachers for position in one of the town schools where you live and pay taIes." he paused and answered: "I cer. tainly should" From the same source the reporter learned that the change of committeeman in one of the town schools usually means a change of teachers. From this it would seem that the present order of things should be changed SO that the teachers would be hired by the members of the town board instead of the district committeeman. Teachers for the town school should be employed by the town school board and while this board could find sufficient material among those to whom they had awarded certificates certify. ing that they are competent to teach and govern a school those gentlemen would not be very likely to go outside the town to em ploy teachers while they could find then at home. The Center district finance com mittee called e halt on this business long since. Why not look at tn, matter in the same light when appointing teachers in the town schools7 Thirteer Waterbury girls passed successful exsmi nations before the town school board few weeks ago. What does this meanf
