NORTH CANAAN'S CHANGE

To Secure Good Roads at State Ex-
 pense
 A special town meeting was held in the town hall building at North Ga. naan Aug. 8, 1895 to see what action the town would take in regard to mak- ing an application to the highway com missioners under the new law for aid in constructing section of highway. The new law was read at that meeting and the majority of voters present interpret cd the law to mean that Macadam or Tslford roads must be constructed. The majority decided that such roads would be too expensive luxury for North Canaan. even with state aid; con- sequently no appropriation was asked, and the meeting was adioarned indef- fnitely. We beg pardon for stating that the editor of the NEWS attended that special town meeting and then and there gave his interpretation of the new law. He maintained that the new law permitted the highway commissioners to accept good gravel roads, and that the new law did not limit them to Ma. cadam or Telford roads only. We hope North Canaan will construct some good gravel roads-not pie crust roads. but good eolid gravel roads-and then be wise enough this year to apply for state aid.
 The following editorial from the New Milford Gazette of the 10th inst is of interest to every resident of the town of North Canaan, and we hope they will read it and chew on it:
 The objection has been we'll raised that many towns in this state could not afford to have the present costly method of macadamizing the roads adopted by the state highway commission, continued for long distances and year after year until main highways in each town were all in proper condition. That the con- mission has found this objection worthy of consideration is shown in the fact that it now intends to allow the use of gravel for roadbeds, when circumstances demand it, although the commission does not favor gravel and will insist that if gravel be used, it shall be of such quality as to insure hard, smooth roadbed.

New Years Greeting to Hollenbeck
 Grange.
By Mrs E. 8. Dickinson.

 'T1s New Years night. The skies are bright And so are patrons faces, Who gather here this glad new year, To ill the old-time places. They come with song; DO thought of wrong No fear of harm nor danger, Where brot hers meet and kindly greet Each other, and the stranger. Throughout our land the patrons band Admits a sister, brother, If magic word, not loudly heard, Is given with another. ITS joy to come to this Grange Home, Among old friends and neighbors, Who meet us here with words of cheer While we forget our labors. And listen long to words of song,
 And words of wisdom, too, The Grange Is strong and moves along, And is a helper true. Some people say: "It will not pay
 To join a simple grange" 'Tis secret too, and they tell you They think 1t very strange. They cannot see what it can be
 Thpt ca Is the grange together, In spite of rain and sometimes pain,
 In spite of wintry weather. We pity all both great and small, Who look with proud disdain, Who think ,tis sad that we're so bad,
 And wish that a were sane. We wish them well, for who can tell
 but sometime they will change' One-sided views tor grand good news.
 And come and join the Grange. think they'll say. on that glad day, What once to me was strange, Is now so clear I have no fear, Long live South Canaan Grange"

The Telephone Ear.

ssA peculiar effect of the use of the telephone" said a telephone company official to New York Herald reporter. s'is the increased acuteness of the left ear. The sensitiveness of the left ear ia abnormslly developed by frequent tele. phone practice. and the right ear, not generally used, shows marked de- teriorstion in the ability to discern sound. Put the transmitter to yonr right car. and then you will realize how much the sense of hearing has besa sharpsnsd in the other organ.

The refusal of the Sultan to allow the Red Cross society to enter his domin- ions to distribute funds to his suffering Armenian subjects ought to be enough to rouse the Christian Nations of Europe to lay aside their jealousies and apathy and combine to p1t an end to Moslem misrule and, in some way, place the Turkish empire under Christian govern ment.

The Progress OF Fusion is Putting
Nails into McKiniey's Coffin.

close:
Beneath the noise and smoke of the
campaign the quiet, steady progress oil
fusion recorded from time to time in
a paragraph hidden among columns
of political speeches has attracted
little attention.. Yet 1t now presents
a very different aspect from that of a
few weeks ago. Then Republican hope
was high on account Of Democratic
and Populist discussions. Now that
hope has dwindled TO a few faint and
fading glimmers from a few States that
are normally Democratic by large ma
jorities.
Fusion has to q reasonable certainty
added Alabama, Kansas, Nebraska
North Carolina and Tennessee-52 cleo

Virginia and So, 900 in Minnesota to
wards making good the losses from the
detection OF sound money Democrats
and towards swelling the accessions o
free silver Republicans. While it ha'
not yet been consummated in Georgia
and Texas, those States are anything
but certain for honest money. II
brief, fusion has made 1t necessar.
that there shall be enormous Demo
cratic defections from tho free silve,
ticket IL Mr.. Mckinley is to have eve
q respectable majority OF the %electora
votes. For even III he gets every Stat,

votes to make the necessary majority
This is the campaign at a glance

peril of free ~silver's bare defeat.
Suppose Mr.. Mckinley gets onl.

those States all in one section Of tn
country, what will be the next resul
Of the electionp The silver heres
will have carried ten or q dozen NOR
States than did Mr.. Harrison in 1S9:
