Another Sign.

Under the above head the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette yesterday contained
the following editorial;
"Dow and Jones sent out through the
brokers' offices yesterday this dispatch
NEW YORK, Feb. 28-Wholesale and retail
dealers and jobbers in practically every line o
goods say that business is distinctly better
The demand is large, and, although profits art
small, they are satisfactory, with collections
good The prospects for lively spring trade
are the best for two years, and the present ac
tivity is the first of it.
"The bell is ringing. Those with con
fidence are getting aboard"
We are glad to see such a good repub
lican paper as the G. G. preaching hope
fulness instead of calamity. The bust
ness world today lacks confidence and il
is all because so much calamity croaklng
has been INDUCED in by the republican
press for partisan purposes. 1t is high
time that we all push along the evidences
of good business.

Swansea, Wales, and it stated that "the
South Wales tin plate board Of control
have decided, in view of the depression
in the trade, to run only 397 mills, and
to run these on only two-thirds time and
to restrict the production to only one
thirdof the present output"
Here is clear case and we trust that
the Mckinley organs will change their
tunes. Poor Wales The poor operators
over there are entitled to the sympathies
of the high tariff organs.
In view of these facts we think that the
republican papers should let up on the
fake about the democratic free trade
running the American tin plate industry.
1t looks as if the Wales industry was the
one that suffered. If democratic legisla-
ton on TIN plate has accomplished any.
thing it has all been in the interest OF
and the advancement of the American
industry and hence the American work.

Origin of the Word MBoss.n -

Mr.. G. G. Buel has an article in the
March Century, entitled "Blackmail as
Heritage" wherein he says that the cor
ner stone of blackmail was laid in Peter
Stuyvesant's day. He also says that even
the dread name "boss" is an inheritance
from the Dutch period. 1t is derived
from bGGS, meaning foreman or master
A hundred years after English became
the official language, men of wealth and
character, like "Boss" Walton of the fa-
nous Walton House in Franklin Square,
received the appellation from persons
who wished to be deferentlal. And today
a workingman may use the title in its
original sense when addressing his EN-
ployer or accosting a stranger. In its po-
ltical significance "boss" is a Tammany
product. As such it defines a vulgar
usurper of public authority, who
knows he would be squelched if
he ventured to stand as a candi.
date himself, but who succeeds by caucus
methods in forcing his puppet candidates
on the electors, and in directing their
official acts for his own selfish ends. On
the other hand, a political ''leader" is a
man who influences the councils of a
party by virtue of his ability to direct
public affairs, and who appeals person
ally to the ballot-box for his commission
to make laws and tn execute them in the
name of the people. Hence with unerr-
ing instinct the Tammany bosses call
themselves leaders; but in Tammany
hall things always go by cohtraries; even
the force of gravitation works toward the
ceiling, causing vice to rise above de-
cency, and those who have shortened
! human life to soar into prominence as
guardians of the public veal

SENAToR BRIcE, from the committee on
interstate commerce, has reported with
out recommendation the bill introduced
in the early part of the present session,
authorizing the secretary of the treas
ury to pay the sum of 100000 to any
inventor from any part of the world who
shall, prior to 1900, construct vessel
that will demonstrate the practicability
of safely navigating the air at speed of
80 miles an hour and capable Of carry
ing freight and passengers.
The object Of the report is apparently
TO print the information available on
the subject of experiments at aerial nav
igation since the days of Montgolher.
'To those who have not given the sub
iect much attention." says the report,
"it may seem somewhat visionary to
seriously entertain the idea of navigat-
ing the air safely, since efforts in this
direction have been in the most in
stances failures; yet the eventual solu'
ton Of the problem will result in one Of
the greatest social, economic and indus
trial revolutions in the history Of man

fluence on the civilization of the world.

SENATOR STEWART in his advocacy of an
international monetary conference,
pledging the United States to agree to
nothing save recognition of silver at l6
to /, stirred up quite breeze and on the
final vote found that he had but few
supporters in such a move. Senator
Wolcott thinks that silver is pressing
ahead while Senator Stewart thinks just
the other way.

THE receut cold weather caused very
sharp rise in the death rate throughout
the country. Nearly one-half the deaths
have been of people over fifty years Of
age. Those who have passed the ma
ridian of life do not always understand
that their lack of vitality does not war
rant them in taking risks that were
laughed at in youth. About one-third Of
recent deaths were from lung trouble
and of these about one-half were from
pneumonia.

A Dangerous" presidential ouantit,

Logicians have attempted to argue that
Thomas b. Reed, Of Maine, is too great
a man to ever become president of the
United States, The argument that this
country has had but two really brilliant
and brainy men in the presidential
chair, was supposed to ap'
ply in some way to Reed; il
was argued that the only thing against
his chances of ever reaching the White
House for four years job was "his
greatness. Not physical greatness, but
mental. Some have even gone so far al
to compare Reed to Blaine, and then
reasoned by analogy that Reed was "too'
brainy, too" great to ever be president
This idea has been now entirely dis
PEELED and Gov, Mckinley had better
look out. Reed has heard these stories
about his greatness" being bar to hi:
presidential aspirations so he thought
he would show the people at one fel
swoop how mistaken they were il
such notion as this. How they need
not hesitate on the greatness" poini
about declaring him their ideal.
Reed is plenty small enough for repub
lican presidential timber In fact he hai
demonstrated himself too small. In biz

These figures show that last year the
entire trade, live cattle and meat pro-
ducts, to France, was less than six mil
lions. The live cattle trade, however,
was growing rapidly; as the above fig
ures show it jumped in one year from
$50, 900 to over one million. This is now
stopped, but the decree applies only to
live cattle and large quantity of our
meat product will continue to go to

taxed out of it by taxing the Pacific coast
fruits, wines, and such other products as
that section exchanges for eastern goods.
Probably it would succeed in this busi-
ness quite as well as the Pacific republic
would. And that would not be agree

these last named qualities in an eminent
degree but they now have a monarchy
after having tried to establish arepublic.
oit seems certain that the establishment
of republic not only requires the right
kind of temperament but the familiarity
with republican forms and taste for gov

follow centuries of monarchial rule.

is a question your committee do not un-
dertake to answer. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the passage of the bill will act
as stimulant to the work already in
progress looking to the solution of this
great problem of aerial navigation, and
in that respect, it cannot but do great
good. That the problem will eventually
be solved we see no ground upon which
to rest reasonable doubt"

WE are all familiar with the way the
constant boring of new gas wells about
Findlay finally almost exhausted the
supply of gas. New York is suffering
from the same trouble Her historic min
eral springs at Saratoga, to which thou
sands have betaken themselves each
summer for the renewal Of health and
strength, are threatened with extinction,
because human cupidity has led to the
boring of great many wells in the upper
Saratoga valley, from which tits believed
the Saratoga wells of worldwide celebri-
ty draw their supply of water. This
ground boring practice has gone to such
lengths that the legislature has taken the
matter in hand, and a bill has been in
troduced, at the instance of Saratoga
people, looking to the requirement OF
the valley in question for purposes of a
state park, similar to that now main
tained at Niagara falls. Such legisla-
tive enactment would be commended by
broad minded men everywhere. These
springs have been tested to the point
where there is no longer any doubt OF
taeir efficacy. A people who can spend
twenty million dollars on an incompleted
state capital building, can certainly af'
ford one and half millions for ground
well worth the money, which will pro
duce an income of per cent. on the
investment, exert a powerful interest as
health-giving resort, and develop a
love of art, beauty and recreation
among all classes of citizens. Aside
from questions of health, it is very sell
dom that money spent tor the deyeop'
ment of landscape art is misapplied

Why Should the Foreigner be Fa-
VOredy


An exchange that can be relied upon
says, that the Russian government has
contracted for ship armor with the Beth
lehem Iron Co., upon more favorable
terms than our own government for the
same material. In view of this circum-
stance Congress has been constrained to
insert provision in the Naval Appro-
priation bill that "no higher price shall
be paid for armor or gun steel than is
paid the contracting party for like armor
or gun steel furnished to private parties
or to foreign governments" Whether
sufficiently accurate data can be obtained
to make the enforcement of this provis-
ion practicable, however, is doubtful;
the contracting parties certainly cannot
be relied upon to disclose the truth.
1t is curious fact that the reported
advantage given to foreign purchaser
of ship armor by the Bethlehem com
pany is very common practice; and 1t
is not confined to the manufacturers of
this country. English and French firms
will sell gun steel and armor to foreign
buyers at less price than to their own
respective governments. Indeed, the pc
culiarity is common to all trades; and il
is notorious that in many lines of manu-
facture in this country larger dis
counts are made to exporters than 10
those who purchase for the home mar
ket. How can this anomaly in trade
be accounted for2 Special reasons may
exist in particular instances, but the
general tendency in favor Of lower prices
to outside consumers Is, to say the least,
inexplicable to the uninitiate. Why
should producers in general show so
much consideration for the favored
foreigners?

ONE OF President Cleveland's favorite
methods in determining on candidate
is to let the partisans Of all the aspir.
ants do a great amount of talking, bring
in all the accusations and arguments
possible against each other, and then
appoint some other man. Perhaps Mr..
Cleveland will follow this policy in the
Cincinnati and Cleveland postoflices.

THE President stands right square up
to his convictions. There is but one
way to move him and that is to convince
his reason. Even his political opponents
concede this. An amusing illus
tration of this quality became
apparent as the session of con-
gress which expired Monday noon was
drawing to close. 1t has long been the
custom of the president to 60 to the Cap
itol on the last day of congress and there
hastily sign bills passed during the last
hours of the session. President Cleve-
land has always declined to do this, TAX
ing the ground that he would sign no bills
that he could not, for want of time, care
fully examine. This year the alterna-
tive was given him by anti.administra.
ton senators to either go to the Capitol
or to allow some appropriation bills to
all, which failure would require an
extra session of congress. The president
sawed wood and said nothing; but his
clerk gave out the information that he
certainly would not change his rule, extra
session or no extra session. No sooner
was this generally known than the SEN
ate hurried in out of the wet, sitting up
all night Sunday so that the last bill
should go to the president not later than
8 o'clock Monday morning. From to
u it had little or nothing to do, but the
president had all the time required and
notified them at 1l;3O that he had no fur
ther communication to make. The sen,
ate, it seems, can learn lesson as easily
as any other school of precocious pu'
nils

Successful Festival Given By the St
 Vincent de Paul Society.
 The festival of St Vincent de Paul so- ciety last evening was a grand success. Although the hall was overcrowded every one seemed to enjoy and appreciate the good work of the members who did all in their power to make it pleasant for every body. The stage and hall were hand somely decorated with material kindly furnished by Currans and the Waterbury Furniture Go.
 The stage entertainment was treat. Miss Gloster opened the entertainment with a song which was thoroughly appre- ciated. MT Collins in his specialties was a novel feature, while the dancing of Miss Cronin surprised the audience and proved her to be coming star. Mrs Bergin, Miss Hughes, Messrs Maloney and Hughes ac- ! compauied by Mrs Wolff. rendered a vocal number and the applause which followed proved that they were more highly appre' ciated than ever. Master Mcknight ap peared next in song accompanied on the piano by his sister. Concerning these il suffices to say that they were just as at tractive as heretofore. The remainder of the stage performance was equally appre ciated by all.
