WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-In these times,
when so many public men are falling out
one with another, when bad feeling and
testy tempers are all too prevalent. it Is
genuine relief to look on the other side OF
the picture and note the friendship OF states
men. There is something innate in the
human consciousness which leads mankind
to seek confidential relationship with some
one of his own rank and sex. This is true of
men as well Ms Of women, but SO far as ones
observation goes the difference between the
friendship of men and ths friendship Of
women is that the former lasts much longer.
They are trees of slower but sturdisr

KNOX county, Maine, has solved the
tramp problem so far as its own locality is
concerned. The commissioners bought 3
supply of sledge hammers and started a
stone yard. Tramps applying for nights
lodging got it, but next morning after
breakfast thay were taken to the yard,
chained together and set to breaking stone.
Those who refused to work were put 'Tn
solitary" and nourished with bread and
water. The news soon spread abroad. and
now the professional vagabonds give Knox
county wide berth.

EVERY member of the common council is
in duty bound to attend the next meeting
of the court and every meeting until the
deadlock over the election of member of
the road board is broken. OF what use
was it to elect democratic mayor if his
b lnds are to be tied? The road board is
the most important branch of the city gov
eminent The expense of maintaining the
roads has increased from year to year, and,
except for the block pavement and few
sire tches of macadam, the streets are in
worse condition now than ever. There
has been gross mismanagement and in
competency shown by the republican
board for the past two years. The city
barn, so called, has been maintained at an
enormous expense. When the DEMOCRAT
protested the only satisfaction obtained
was what are you going to do about it"
from the peoples servants. Now it is in
the power of the democrats of the'council
to change this state of affairs. Let there
be no Lack-sliding. If properly supported
Mayor Kilduff will give Waterbury the
cleanest and most economical administra-
ton the city has ever enjoyed.

in the Legislative or political world, and who
are about as smart as they make 'em in
this frail world, look at the man from Mary
land and the man from Ohio. German and
Gene Hale are great friends, too, showing,
as do many other similar instances, that
personal friendships among public men are
not bound by party lines at all.
You could travel n great many miles
without coming upon two faster cronies
than Butler of South Carolina and Don
Cameron Of Pennsylvania, the one Demo
crat and the other Republican. So it goes
all through the senate. There is speu-
did example for these nonpartisan friend
ships found in the case of Allen G. Thur
man and George F. Edmunds. Though
leaders of the opposing forces in the senate
of their day, they were the'warmest kind of
friends, snuffed out of each others box, and
each knew where the other had his bottle
secreted In the library of his committee
room.
Joe Blackburn and Senator Squire, one a
Democrat and he other a Republican, are
fast friends. So are German and Aldrich.
An odd combination is that of Vest and
Quay. They may be found together half
the time.

II there is one time more than another
when it is necessary to advertise it is
the so-called dull season. When there's
little business stirring it is the very time
that the merchant should make business stir.
At this time he can't expect people to flock
to his store of their own free will. He must
cast out bait to make them go there. He
must rise up and tell them of his bargains
and thus. by the logic of his argument.
compel them to come in. Otherwise the
customers he ought to have will fall asleep,
too. The excuses that merchant gives
for ceasing to advertise in January and
February would serve just as we'll for shut
ting up shop entirely. If it pays to adver-
tise in December and April. SO will it in
intervening months. Or if times are SO
dull that it doesn't pay to advertise in mid
winter. the dull times should likewise
force the merchant to close his shop.
There's no more sense in stopping an ad-
vertisement during certain seasons of the
year than there would be in shutting up
shop during the same period. 1t is only
by keeping everlastingly at it that the
merchant can flourish. Tell your story to
the Is 900 readers of the DEMOCRAT.

The Chileans-the Yankees of South
America-are distributing the fertilizer
known as nitrate of soda free in the
United States at present. This nitrate
puts into exhausted wheat ground and
other soils the mineral qualities the
plants have taken out Of it. Chile wants
to develop great nitrate trade with
the United States. Taxation of the fer
tilizers she exports are the largest source
Of public revenue Chile has. The more
nitrate shipped. the more revenue.
Therefore the government is shipping at
it, own expense quantities of nitrste Of
soda to the United States. Considerable
has already been distributed to farmers
and gardeners. A bureau of distribution
will be established in New York city.
The Chilean minister at Washington or
the Chilean consuls at any of our ports
will be able to give needed information.
The fertilizer is mined at Tsrapaca, the
most northern province Of Chile. 1t is
applied as top dressing.

If They Have Been Trained Right.

IfThey Have Been Trained Right.
Schools everywhere have mostly closed
for the summer vacation. Pupils and
teachers will 90 into fields and woods to
gain strength and ozone for wrestling
with next years work. The pupils will
be brought in contact in their country
rambles with animals and helpless living
creatures, great and small. If they have
been trained right, they will not set dog
upon a cat to bite her and break her
neck. They will not stone cat or dog.
They will not chase calf or lamb or
brighten COW or horse. Three Of
them will not bestride poor old work
horse, with his ribs sticking iout, and
gallop him to death, beating him fero-
ciously at every lope.
If their teachers have impressed their
tender young minds with mercifulness
to the helpless, as should have been done,
they will shrink with horror from tor
turing any living creature, even as
themselves would shrink from being
tortured. They will be kind and help
full to boys and girls who are younger
and weaker than themselves, not brutal
and cruel. They will carry the habit Of
righteousness to creatures weaker than
themselves all through life. The boys
will be manly and just; the girls will be
womanly and just.
