WHAT WlIIl1lLYoU Do4
To tie svotssssof tho old parties
wedeslre - ask few questions.
Yon who have observed the W
tematic scheme Of currency con-
traction, which has been carried
on IN this country By both repub-
lican and democratic parties By
the slow but sure process Of abso-
|lutely destroying one halle Of the
primary money-sllver, and know
the great ~hardships it has worked
in the past, and will continue to
work in the future to ths debtor
class, what will you do when you
come to cast your ballot at the next
presidential election, when both
Of these old parties declare for the
gold standard. Will you say by
your votes that you place party
name above intelligence above the
cries and groans Of oppressed
humanity and the interests Of
your own families? That you have
sold your principles. citizenship,
and your fellowmen into bondage
by an unexplainable, demoralizlng
and rotten prejudice for a party
name? If you meant what you
have said in the past on this sub
ject, we ask you in all candor, in
all seriousness and in the name Of
intelligence, what r you going
to do?
You democrats who have
pointed out for all these years the
injustice, the corruption and the
demoralizing influence of the
monopoly which spring from and
grows out Of the protected in
dustries, what are you going to do
when you come to cast your ballots
at the next election with the light
of Clevelaud's administration be-
fore your.
You who have viewed with
alarm the onward march of mono
poly in this country, what excuse
can you give for voting for a party
that is run and controlled BY men
who own and CONTROL the great
corporations and privileged insti-
tutions in this country?
You democrats who believe in
those great, grand and. funda-
mental principles of Thomas JEFF
ferson, why will you 60 to the
polls and vote for q party which
favors and advocates the principles
Of Hamilton-that Of the favored
few simply because it bears the
old name? What excuse can you
offer to the people Of this country
for your parties violation Of every
pledge to them, and for tramplins
underfoot the great common peo.
pie for the sole and only reason
that corporations might be served!
Either you did not mean what
you said in the past OF you cannot
endorse the party under it's pre-.
sent organization So we say
again what are you going to do in
1896. What intelligent man can
point out the difference between
the modern democrat and modern
republican when in power3 Will

THE TUBERCULOSIS SCARE.

The scientific men" may rest assured that there is no unnecessary alarm" on the part of the farmers of the state as to danger of their herds from the new test for finding tuberculosis.
 pr Noah Greasy of this city told us years ago all that is told us now ex- cept that tuberculin will is some cases increase the temperature of diseased animal.
 We know that where one animal in herd has the disease other animals kept in the same barn under the same condi- tions are quite liable to be diseased. We know that the necessary conditions are that the cattle be confined in & stable so close as to render the air poisonous to all animal and even to vegetable life, and we do not know that the men who want the state to put up S25, ,000 to pay them for squirting tuberculin into our cattle ever prosecuted farmer for shutting up his cows until their lungs, liver, etc, were rotten with tuberculosis, although some of them have been instrumental in prosecuting owners of cattle that were allowed sufficient fresh air and exercise to insure their exemption from the dis ease. .
 We know that the human race is sub- ject to tuberculosis (consumption,) but we do not know, nor do the scientific men, that the disease can be transferred by any means from the bovine to the human race. If it can be transferred in milk or meat, we know that just as scientific men as the experts who are ad- vocating the use of tuberculin say that they can detect the bacteria in these, without injury to the cattle and at vast ly less expense to the state.
 We know that the estimated expense of stamping out tuberculosis by means of the tuberculin test and slaughter is according to the figures of the experts themselves half million dollars, but we do not know that it would not be neces- sary to exterminate it at that price every year.
 We know that our sister sstate of Rhode Island has, with an elaborate outfit and enthusiastic experts tried and got enough of tuberculin, the president of the cattle commission writing a gen. tleman in this city wiGhin few days to that effect, and knowing these things, we are not in the least alarmed at the introduction in the General Assembly of the bill to put S25 GOO per year where the experts can grab at it.-[R. s.

A SHOW BOUND SEwrows DRUMMER.

l.. $. Mason, the popular drummer along the line of the Berkshire division for Stoddard, Kimberly 6 Co.,, had some interesting experiences in the recent blockade. On Tuesday morning he started from South Lee, with the ther- mometer below zero, to drive to Tyrring- ham, Monterey and West Otis, dis tance of some l3 miles. The wind blew perfect hurricane and on reaching Monterey. he was obliged to stable his exhausted horse, and was thankful to gain temporary shelter. He succeeded in getting back to Great Harrington. Thursday night MT Mason passed at West Cornwall. The first train which stopped there left at 6. 43, and at o'clock MT Mason had the pleasure of hearing his train was stuck in snow-bank at Still River. They passed the night there. Meanwhile tkeir engine ran out of coal and water, but this deficiency was sup piled by the Bridgeport Wood Finishing Co.,, whose works are near the track. The train finally left Still River about II a. m., Saturday, and reached Hawley- vile about f. Despairing of reaching Newtown station, Mir Mason started on foot for his home on Mt Pleasant. The people on the stalled train were supplied with hot coffee and luncheon, and Mir Mason got along very comfortably.

SHILOH.

This blizzard would have equaled the 18th of March blizzard of 1888 if we had had as much snow. The cold was more intense. The widow Houlahan in Bushy Point had six hens frozen in the hen house, and every thing frozen in the cellar. We hear of vegetables being frozen in many cellars here. In 1854 and 1857 the Housatonic was rampant and blockaded the river road, taking bridges also. The ice is now piled 20 feet high at the 'sOtter Rocks" and everything bids fair for an old fashioned freshet, we hope Zoar Bridge will es- cape this time. On Shiloh this time the wind followed the main road and sent the snow flying to ssOld Stratford." We remember while carrying mail to Bir- mingham just before the war that the wind held over 10 days north east and we had to have the roads cleared every day. We remember also, that from 1852 to 1857 the thermometer went from 10 to 15 degrees below zero every winter and Tiled our peace besides. On April 16 and 17, during this time, a snow storm over a foot deep on the average banked up our roads and killed hundreds of thousands of birds, starved and frozen. Cotton Mather has recorded New England weather in s'Ye ancient times" Such weather will come again sometime here.@lG. w. B.

Affairs About Town.
AT TRINITY.

AN EXCELLENT SERMON BY RECTOR LINs-
 LEY.
 Those who came out in the cold to at- tend service at Trinity church, Sunday morning, were favored with sermon of rare excellence by the rector, Rev G. T. Linsley. His text was chosen from Dat- thew 12:37, "For by thy words thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.'' His subject was the right use of words. The speaker de- clared that speech was divine faculty. The right use of speech is an appeal to our manhood. We not only affect others by the words we utter, but we reveal our character. The testing element in the words we utter must be truth, the foun- dation of our political and social life. A common violation of the ninth command ment is gossip, which delights in retail ing the latest bits of unpleasant news l; gossip, which even thrusts itself into the privacy of the home. The preacher em- phasized the fact that we were respon- sible for all the kinds of words we speak. He further pointed out the danger of nasty words. and the trouble which often arises from evil speaking. "There are some people," said the speaker, "who seem to delight in going out of their way to say disagreeable things" Kind words are often better than medicine. The preacher urged his hearers to remember the importance of words, for "Words have wings and they all fly up to God"
 The Sunday school session and evening service at Trinity were omitted on &C., count of the severity of the storm.

HIS FIRST SLEIGH RIDE.

Lester Hoole of Yale college, with his mother, were among the storm-stsyed passengers on Saturday, who were oblig- ed to pass few quiet hours at Botsford. They were bound for Dicks hotel where they had friends awaiting them. A team was sent from the hotel through the drifts to convey them to Newtown. AL though over 20 years of age, this was Lester's first sleighride and, notwith- standing he was upset only twice, he thinks that wheels on ''terra firma," is preferable to runners on snowdrifts.
