Kelly Says

It is nothing more or less than insanity for the city of Waterbury to agree to pay her bonded indebtedness in GOLD. You never had or never will have enough gold to pay your bills Keep away from the gold craze. and you will do & great benefit to the present and the coming taxpayers. When you issue bonds. make them pay able in money that the people buy their Bread with. be it made from gold. silver or pine tree chips. That's the kind of money the bond holder is entitled to. that is all he wants. for that and for that use only, is money coined. You will never have 10 pay a premium on this money. and the bond holder will get his just due and that is all he wants. In regard to the time we get in paying these bonds. fix the time so the city will reserve the right to redeem her bonds once in every five years, that will save us from paying unjust interest, such as the water department is paying to- day, The rate of interest on money Is founded by the price of Flour and Sugar. and the day of high prices for these two articles is past. and in my opinicn 3 per cent will be a high rate of interest 30 years from today, further believe. that one week from tomorrow, which is Ash Wednesday, the American Hen will do her
 duty, as usual, and furnish us with Fresh Eggs at 25c dozen.
 My Confectionery and Butter are high priced, but they are made that way.

For Commissioner Of Schools.

Bancroft Commercial: The name of Rob-
ert q. Austin, of Morrice, is being extern
siyely mentioned as the proper man for
commissioner of schools. He Is particularly
the candidate of the southern part of the
county but his qualifications and standing
we'll merit him universal support.
Mr.. Austin is hustling young man OF
twenty-five and has lived in the county
seventeen years. 1t would be difficult to
find another in the county SO well qualified
for this important position, for he is grad
uate Of the State Normal School, where
teachers are trained, and is about to take q
degree at the University, the two leading
educational institutions of the state. Be-
sides this broad schooling he has had ample
experience I'm teaching In both district and
high schools, and is closely In touch with
every branch Of the teaching profession.
The republican convention will make no
mistake in nominating r. q. Austin for
county commissioner.
