Martin Berain 4 Sons
Come to the Front.
a Powerful Stroke of
ENTERPRISE.
The Great Strength of Waterbury
Demonstrated even in Panicky
Times

God makes the man, and man makes the
world There is no city in the world for
its population whose name is more famous
than the famous city in which we live
There is stability about 1t of which we
are Justly proud. The one grand secret
of our success that we glory IN the sue
cess of one another Success Is an ella
ment in human character which makes all
men brothers. The great Potter who
made the world has made it so large that
every mans ambition has plenty of space
to work in There is room enough for a
billion more worms of our kind, and the
man who recognizes this fact will always
find plenty of room. according to his abil-
ity. The great men who founded our in
dustrial institutions are dead tc-1ay,
but their spirits live and their works go
on.
This spirit of thrift and enterprise came
up in our mind the other evening while
we were looking over the magnificent
plant of MARTIN BERGIN Il SONS in
the HoIohan block. corner of South Main
and Scovill streets.
MARTIN BEEGIN himself is a strong per-
sonality. His light heart will always
keep him young and vigorous. Years and
obstacles will be like snow before the sun.
His store is of the metropolitan order.
Such store is credit to the people. 1t
and best equipped establishment of its
kind we have seen anywhere. 1t must
have been willing hands that arranged it.
And when we 1nsider the fact that Mr.
Bergin is the proud father of IL living
children. nearly all of whom can put
shoulder to the wheel of progress. it is
easy to account for that high degree of per-
lection to which the business has reached.
There is no danger of the Bergin name
dying out in Waterbury. If Mr. Bergin
lived IN some parts of the world he would
be pensioned tor the good he has done for
his country. The Stationery, Undertak-
ing and Livery business go we'll together.
The one is to educate the soul while it
remains in the body; the other takes
care of the body when the soul gets
through using it; and the third takes
it to Mother Earth for its resting place.

New England. Yellow Day.

Boston, Sept. S.-A peculiar atInos-
pherical phenomenon has attracted the at
tention Of BostoniAns. During the latter
part of tho morning and all the afternoon
the sun. unobscured by clouds. has feebly
shone through q strait of smoke supposed
to come from the forest fires now raging
in the lake region The effect has been
weird, unearthly yellow tinge to the at
mosphere, which was made oppressive by
tho general absence of stirring air. The
day has been a repetition, although n a
less degree of the famous yellow Tuesday
of 1881. Reports OF similar phenomenon
have been received here from cities and
towns all over New England

Mission Creek In Ashes.

The little town of Mission Creek, some
little distance north of HincEley, is r.
ported in ashes. special trains were sent
out both from st Paul and Duluth with
IA full medicine stock and O stan OF ply

y private dispatch received from the
burned district states that - dead bodies
have already been recovered, so that the
estimate mado above may b. considered Us
decidedly conservative.
The losses in the neighborhood OF St.
Cloud, which Is on the western edge OF
the fires, hrc estimated ut 5000. 900, and
from that point cast and north nearly
everything is burned. The fires are rag

LtBOR is NOT LAULESS.

Good men OF all shades of opinion may join
in warm thanks 10 Senators Vest and Wolcott
for their strong and patriotic words in the
Senate on Friday regarding the COXcy out
break. If their speeches We're marred 10y state
ments not deserving such broad commentator
the press dispatches wisely give no hint Of such
utteranccs and it is gratifying 10 be able TO
commend without reserve their protest against
the base demagogism which has too long en-
cOuraged lunacy and lawlessneSs if protesting
devotion TO the interests OF labor. The two
Senator's are right in declaring that neither
labor nor capital, neither lender nor borrower
has any right TO consideration, sympathy or re-
spect, except in the attitude Of q peaceablc
and loyal subject OF the laws which the ma
jorty of the people have established by their
votes With Mr.. Vest all may well declare
that no class of citizens is entitled to any favor
or preference before the law, and If any class
resists or violates law if any attempts 10 sub
vert the peaceful sovereignty of the majority
which acts through constitutional forms, it
merits unsparng punishment.
II was well said by these Senators, too that
the profesSed motives or the real causes OF
the lawlesS demonstrations now in progress
have nothing to do with the question until the
lawlessness Of act or purpose has been rcbuked
and reprcssed. The personal belief Of men
that the laws do them wrong cannot be even
considered. so long as they propose 10 change
the laws by other means than those which the
Constitution provides. man may be very
honestly and thoroughly misguided and at the
same time be criminal meriting the Scvcrcst
penalty, as those did who took arms against
the Government in 1861. The men who pro-
posed TO seat Il President by violence in 1871
in disregard OF Il legal decision, deserved ihe
punishment Of rebels whether they were of one
party the other.
There is nothing about the cause Of labor
which entities il 10 any favoriism or immunity
in law.brcaking If all the laborers in the
country were united. they would not have the
slightest right 10 disregard the law any more
than single cmployc For all alike there is

termined result of an election no set of men have

BY no means the least notable feature Of this

mechanical devices for flesh ana blood In the
Industrial arts. This process began. with regard
to the labor of men. many years ago when
steam engines ard the factory system super
seded handwork I'm cottage shops The power
loom. the moving and rcaping machines the
sewing machine the pcrfectng printing press
the linotype machine. and many other great In
vcntons have tended strongly in the same dl-
rcction. Sometimes their use has been opposed
even forcibly resisted by hand-laborors. who i'm
agincd that with the Introduction Of machinery
their occupation would bc gone. But such i'm
aginings were chiefly vain. and 1t Is now seen
that the inventor is not the foe but the friend
Of the workngman. Mechanical devices do
take the place Of hand labor; but they also open
other fields more worthy and more profitable for
that very labor: and they place within the reach
of the worlSlngman opportunities and posslblll-
ties he never otherwise could have enjoyed
In late years. moreover, machinery has 10
