Waterbury evening Democrat., 1895-03-04

OUR esteemed contemporary, the Repub lican, makes labored attempt to score a point for the new charter by holding up our genial friend Kelly as an example. Kelly oppes the charter on the ground that experiments are dangerous and that one man power means oppression. The Re publican makes the point that if Kelly hadn't indulged in experiments he would to-day be eking out poor existence by cultivating a little patch of potatoes in Ire Kelly as the single responsible head of all his stores, with absolute power of appoint. ment and removal. At first glance there seems to be logic in our neighbours argu- ment, but let us see. If it were not for ''one woman power" perhaps Kelly would be making Waterbury watches on the banks of the shannon and catching fish in tho Lakes of Killarney instead of Quassapaug. It was one woman power that drove Kelly and thousands of his countrymen to Waterbury. and they want no more of it, even on tho small scale pro- vided by the new charter.- One man power is all right when the man Is simply boss of what he himself owns. as is the case with Kelly and his stores, but We know of of no man in Waterbury whom the other SS, 900 inhabitants are wiling should lord it over them. Government of the people, for the people and by the people is good enough for Waterbury.

THE opposition to the proposed new charter is widespreaed. One man rule will never be accepted by the people of this city. We hope that the members of the court of common council will be true to the trust reposed in them and not vote to make a monarchy of Waterbury. The whole matter of consolidating the town. city and school governments should be submitted to the people.

A PICKLE DUTCH MAIDEN.
AbardoDs Her Lover who Furnishes
His Rival.

Down in a little hamlet in Holland.
less than a year ago. Lived q young man
and his sweetheart, who were all the
world to each other. At least she was
all the world to him 1t seems. for when
he left his rustic home. and came to
America. some eleven months ago. to
make a fortune for himself and her. he
became so lonely without her. that sew
eral months after he arrived here he
sent her money enough to come over
and JOIN him. She came and he met her
alta the pier in Hoboken. They were ap-
pareutly happy and c~ontented.
This happy team were Frank Tuenes-
sen. aged twenty-five years. and Miss
Mary Lambreck. a pretty blonde of TWEEN
ty. Frank secured a position for his
sweetheart as a housemaid at No. 107
Seventh street. and he continued at his
old business. and lived with his unit at
No. % Third street. Hohoken.
Everything went along lovely for about
two months, and then the first rupture
occurred. Mary met a handsome young
man of Bayonne. named Mr.. Cornet.ous
Terwjg. of whom she became quite fond.
Frank noticed her growing cold towards
thing to DO with Cornetious. She told
Frank to mind his own business, and
that capped the climax.
Frank saw nothing of her again until
yesterday afternoon when he saw her
enter a saloon in Hoboken IN company
with her lover. WHd with rage and jeal-
ousy. ne followed the two into the saloon
and without a word of warning, pro-
ceeded to thrash Cornetious WHO is a
much smaller mar than he is. Mary ran
out called Police" and ar officer
came and arrested the party.
They were arraigned before Recorder
McDonough last night who Immediately
discharged Miss Lambreck and Tarwtg.
but fined TueneSsen IS for being drunk

Henry o. Morris, United States Consul
at Client, says that the sale of ivory at
Antwerp. the principal market, increased
from "a 100 pounds in 1888 to 5S3.117 in

centuries is still in the hands of natives.
Mr.. Morris also says that about 10000
elephants are living.
There. Is an opening for the introduc-
ton into Switzerland of American wood
working machinery and tools, according
to Mr.. Germin, the Consul at Zurich.
He writes that II 9 good agent, able TO

thinks that American manufacturers
of these things would also find a good
market in Germany. England, France,
