FACTORIES WITHOUT GAS.

The hat factories in Bethel on Tuesday were all closed for want of gas. The gas pipes between Danbury and Bethel were frozen up on that morning. The gas used in this place all comes from the Danbury Gas Works. Bethel's supply is pumped into receiving reservoir and from thence the factories get their sup ply. The supply on hand lasted about two hours, Tuesday morning, then gave out and consequently the workmen had to stop work and go home. The loss in wages was several hundred dollars. On Wednesday morning Bethel was without gas again. The shops all shut down, no knowing when the trouble will be found. The gas company are digging once in 30 feet on the line of the pipe to Bethel. The workmen and employers felt blue enough, Wednesday morning.

EXrxAVAGANT APPRUPKIA :
TIOHS.

Chairman Cannon OF the Appropri-
atoms Committee Of the House of
Representatives and Representative
Sayers. who is at the head Of the
minority OF the committee, have pre-.
pared their statements Of the appro-
priations Cd, the Congress just ended
for publication in the Congressional
Record. Cannon says that in his
judgment the appropriations are i'll
excess of the demands Of the public
service. fact which he greatly de-.
plores. The, total for the Congress is
e1,O43.437 .OlS, which, he says, is 49,
702,Sl2 more than the appropriations
of the preceding Congress. Suyers
makes the total appropriations of this
Congress S55, 1882 i'll excess OF the
Fifty third Congress. ...
Cannon complains that outs is the
only Government in the civilized
world where the Executive branch of
the Government assumes no degree
Of responsibility 10 the taxpayers for
the expenditure ofpublic money. The
Legislative branch is WHOLLY account
able to the people, as it passes the ap-
preparation bills.
What MIR. Cannon says of the Ma
tional Legislature and the President
is also Il ue Of the State Governments
The appropriation bills are generally
the last that reach The Executive de-
partment. Though they frequently
appropriate money for doubtful pur-
poses the sections making such apprO-
priationa cannot be eliminated from
the bill 10y the Executive and the bill
as a Whole must be approved or We
tced. AS the Legislature generally
adjuurns before the Governor has
time to scruhniZe the various items
III the bill a veto of the measure would
clog the wheels Of the Government or
neccss sate an extra session of the
Lcgislat ure, and to avoid these con-
tingencies the bill Is approved, though
it may contain many Objectionable
features.

1t will be remembered at. the
recent meeting of the democratic
county executive committee that
some very interesting and impor-
tant letters bearing on the coun-
ty commissioners question. were
read by chairman r. e. Harris.
They were letters that had been
addressed to Governor ,Bloxham
dcondemning the recommendations
tof the county committee. After
they were read Mr.. Allsop offered
a resolution requesting the Gov
ernor-to burn them. After this
resolution was adopted Clarence
Smith offered another which was
also carried that they all be pub
lished in the Banner, Free Press,
and Mail and Express. The last
named paper is the only one that
seems willing to comply with the
request. The Banner in it's issue
of yesterday published a garbled
report of the proceedings, but did
not publish one of the letters.
More recent developments how
ever would indicate that there is
good reason for this seeming neg
lect on the part Of the chairman
Tt now appears that some of those
letters were private correspon-
dencc addressed to Governor
Bloxham and he is very. indig-
nant at the use that has been
made of them. He addressed a
letter to editor Harris this week

The short session of the Uni
ted States court yesterday morn
ing was marked by a scene that
was somewhat unusual in court
peactice. Colonel Horatio/ Bis
bee, who has been the solicitor
for the complainant in the case of
George J. Bradish VS. James V.
Burke and William Nissan, an
nounced to the court that he de-
sired to withdraw from the case.
He gave as his reasons torso do
ing that his client had withheld
from him certain important in
formation, and that since being
connected with the case he had
learned certain facts that made
him DESTROYS of severing his re-
lations with it. In accordance
with the request that he be al
lowed to follow this course, the
following order was entered: =
"This cause coming on to be
heard upon the order to show
cause why a receiver should not
be appointed, and II. Bisbee an
nouncing that on account of the
neglect of the complainant to re-
spond to his inquiries, he with
drew from the further participa-
tion Of the cause, but Withdrew
his motion for a receiver, ! 1T is
upon consideration ordered that
the restraining order herein be
vacated and any further proceed
ings be indefinitely postponed. .
Citizen. + ~ =
The above shows to what ex-
tremes some men will so to carry
their point. It is clear that the
complainant had no ground for a
suit and when his attorney saw
the nature of the case he at once
withdrew from it. J. V. Burke
is hard to beat on, a law suit, He
is generally on the right side and
comes out on top.
