A correspondent of the Times Union
in a recent communication makes a
point that is worthy Of commentator.
1t is to the effect that the producers, in
stead of disposing of their raw material
manufacture it, thus making double
profit. His point is made on tobacco,
and its manufacture into cigars en- the
farm by the growers. The correspond
ent questioned tobacco expert in refer
ence to the cigar tobacco that could be
grown in Florida, and asked if it was his
opinion that Florida could raise tobacco
equal to that grown in Cuba
The reply was. ''That is not the point
There is a place for everything under
the sun, and, whatever the quality of
Florida tobacco may be, it is only neces-
sary to find that place and the problem
is solved. l see you don't understand
what l mean. Let me show you some
thing. l am not one of those who believe
the freeze has ruined the State. Nor do
[ believe that the Cuban war, however
much it may interrupt the tobacco grow
ing industry there, is going to work any
permanent injury to us. / am inclined
to believe that all this will turn the en-
ergy of our people into new channels,
and that the near future will see Florida
in better shape than ever.
81 have no better opinion of tobacco
raising than cotton raising. Farming
may be picturesque, and, | am told, it is
highly healthful, but the money doesn't
come in at that stage Of the game. The
people who sell raw material are gene
rally poor-the money goes to the man
ufacturers. Let me give you an exam
pie. A few years ago [ was up in Penn
sylvania and went down into Lancaster
county to buy some cigars. The tobacco
raised in that vicinity is very poor, but
the people who raise it are so rich
that the county is said to be the richest
agricultural community in the entire
world. What is the reason of it? Why,
it's plain enough. Those long headed
Lancastrians DOM sell tobacco-they sell
cigars, and mighty poor ones, too: but
there's good market for such cigars as
any others, and as the business is side
issue with those people, aud as they
make their own cigars in the winter,
when work is slack, they are among the
the solid men of the country.
II don't care how poor Florida tobacco
may bel don't care how good it may be
there will be market for the cigars
made from it, an6 the cheaper the cigar
the better the demand. But there will
be no money in it for our people unless
they make up their own tobacco into CT
CARS; and I hope to see the day when
every farmer in South Florida will have
his tobacco patch like the fellows up in
Pennsylvania, and his little cigar manu-.
factory as WELL He will get all there is
in the leaf from harvest to the whole
sale dealer, and I sincerely hope that the
short supply in Cuba may start our peo-
pie on the road to prosperity"

of sight as if they had sunk hundred
feet into the earth.
But the third man, Pedro's, hadn't
moved, and, fearful that he would
vanish the next moment, the friendly
let fly at him
You have missed.' l muttered in
disgust; you are too Hurried. I'll
finish him
! confess | was n little flustered my
self. but the distance was short and ]
needed but a second or two.
"Hnh" exclaimed Masque. ''you
have missed, too!'
TO my amazement the Indian did not
stir. What could it mean?
Me show-me fetch him.
Masque incautiously raised his head
above the stone in front to make his
aim sure, and, was sighting his gun,
when from behind the bowlder came a
shot, and the poor fellow tumbled
over backward without speaking The
ball had passed through his head. At
the same moment the remaining hos.
tile vanished.
Now that the Bpaches had discov-
cred our presence, and we knew what
fighters they were, we became extreme
ly cautious. A half hour passed without
shot being exchanged, for to fire
one must have target, and an in
stants exposure was certain to bring
a shot from those behind the bowlder.
Meanwhile, our friends in the valley
were popping away on general prin-
.,, Il. 4 i
perhaps why there was nothing in the
nature of response.
Suddenly Pedro uttered an exclama-
ton, rose to crouching posture, and
ran rapidly across the intervening
space He leaped over the bowlder
and then turned about and beckoned
me to follow. The guide had discov-
cred the truth, and |, suspecting it,
was quickly at his side.
The two hostiles had long been be-
You'd reach. The one whom | had no
ticed as much more exposed to sight
than either of the others, and who
seemed to be studying the troopers in
the valley, was dead before we fred at
him. Some one from below had picked
him off, while the two guides and my
self were making our way to the spot
above him, and where Masque met his
death. His companions set him up to
draw the fire, and, his topping back
ward, just as the friendly was shot,
was intended to deceive us, as it I'M
questionably did. Had he remained,
we would have discovered the truth,
but, being with his companions out of
view, we supposed he was watching
like them to try his skill on Us the in
slant we gave him chance. Detroit

chants, and very frequently laborers
of all sorts unpaid.
| believe in justice, simple justice.
Our governments are unjust TO the
people, and, but speak the truth, the
people are tired and the question OF
taxes can he pushed on the people,
until, like the Israelites Of old as they
made brick without straw they re-
belled at last Maybe the sinking
frogs and lice and dead bodies OF the
firstborn will be left. while the people
will have marched from the land Of
Egypt into the Canaan of better things.
The burden increases. There is
line and limit beyond which no gov
ernment can safely go, and no free
people will longer endure.
Lighter taxes and a just equalization
of tax burdens is the only remedy that
can satisfy an overtaXed and over
burdened people, and bring content
ment to the sixty-six million people
who iuhahit the United States to-day.
On this question, like all other ques-
tions, vox populi, vox Del The peo-
pie can have their way, they will
have their way sooner or later.
Now is the time. Let every official both
national, state and county, know that
his own stay in Office depends upon his
efforts and his success in tightening
the burdens now resting upon our peo-
pie.
Let our politicians all know that the
fence of all fences that they must look
after is the fence around the people
which shall shut out extravaganza and
shield the people from these outrageous
burdens that seemingly crush them
down to earth.
Let the people speak through all the
channels, on the hustings and through
the press.
We once fought for seven long years
against England demanding taxation
and giving US no representation, now
we seem to have too much Of both.
| am sure we can get along better
with less representation and much less
taxation SAM =. JONES.
p. S.-We tried rcpublicanism in
Georgia thirty odd years ago; we are
not through paying their bills yet.
The democrats have been weighed in
the balance and found wanting on this
line. The populists are no good on this
line, for already before they can get
into power they are talking of not only
furnishing free schools to everybody
but free books and thereby increase
the burden upon the people. S. p. j.

Not only that, but he was much more

MILFORD.

March l1.-There was large delega- tion of Milford people in Hartford We'd nesday last, and were present at the hearing in reference to an electric rail road through Milford. There is a strong sentiment in favor of a trolley road, but there Is a difference as to where it should go. Most of the pleasure seekers want it to go across lots, and just reach Milford center each way (from New Ha- ven and Bridgeport without going in the highways, while others who want to see the town grow want 1t to go by a direct route and in the highways, es- pecially is thls the case in the west part of the town. where it would have the effect of raising the price of all real estate on the line of the road.
 The Milford Athletic association is planning for the summers pleasure rounds. The lot at seaside used last year, has been secured for another sea- son.
 Rev. J. o. Cornish of Stamford has been secured as pastor of the First Baptist church of this place, and he has moved his, goods here and occupies one of Mrs. Murphys houses on Central avenue.
 The travelling is bad just now, and 1t is with great difficulty that loads are hauled through the town. Especially Is this the case with the outside districts.
 Rev. Fl. H Morse pastor of the First church, took his midwinter vacation last week, which was spent in Boston

THE OLD FOLKS AT HOME.
Where the Aged and Inflrm gre Cared for-Mother Aureli0 Speaks
 Of Her Charges,

(From Hte Providence, R. 4, JourndE.)
 Somewhat removed from the city of Prov idence, on the main highway to Pawtucket stands that magnificent charitable institu- ton known as the Home for the Aged of the Little Sisters of the Poor. Here com pany of sweet faced and soft voiced Sisters care for the old and the infirm who are unable to care for themselves.
 Mother Aurelia presides over this we'll. known institution and with her associates ministers to the wants of over two hundred old people, women and men. An important feature of the Home is well-appointed pharmacy in charge of one of the sisters Their chief fremedy is good old Pain-Killer, which most of the old folks used when they were children and which now cures the pains and aches incidental to their declining years.
 As is to be expected, the aged inmates of the Home are in constant need of medical attention, although, SO carefully are they tended, few are rarely sick enough to be in the hospital wing at any one time But all of them are subject to the many disabilities of old age, and so Pain-Kille has come to be a remedy of almost daily use.
 Mother Aurelia says that Pain-K Killer has quite superseded the drugs and prescriptions for use among the old people. When the limbs twitch with rheumatism the fair sister in charge ofthe pharmacy gives them massage with pure Pain-Killer. When the old men and old women suffer from their many stomach troubles, a little Pain Killer with water and sugar offers certain and quick relief. When the venerable heads are racked with pain, Pain-Killer is again put to service promptly. The old people love it and rely upon it. They tes. tify that it's use externally is quickly effica- cious, and internally, is unaccompaned by any after i'll effects-which, at their age, must never be risked.

In consequence of the tremendous sales for all the performances of "The Brownies there will probably be an ex- tra special matinee Friday to be called Bunnell's Brownies Berkshire division day, which is given to satisfy all people in the Naugatuck valley, and also the Danbury division folks. And the per- tormance will be identically the same as those given. evenings. Everybody is ad- vised to patronize the Friday matinee, and avoid the great rush of the Satur- day matinee. Various schools and fac tories close early for "The Brownies" Express trains wait for '"The Brownies" performance to be over, and special ex- curslon trains run for "The Brownies"
