MADNESS IN THEIR ME1HOD.

Another good Democrat has seen
the folly OF the Democratic party
OF today and has repudiated Bryan
ism. He expresses himself in a
letter to the secretary of the Brook
lyn Democratic club as follows
"As / am not in accord with the
sentiments of the so-called Demo
cratic party on the current issues, 1
respectfully tender my resignation
as member Of the Brooklyn Demo
cratic Club.
II hope to live to witness the re-
turn OF the Democratic party to its
time-honored principles. when this
midsummer madness of Organism
and populism shall have passed
away. In the coming nation con-
test there is no place for a third
party movement. and / shall not
hesitate with the party that stands
for honest money, the supremacy
Of law and the unqualified support
Of the government in it's endeayors

The prospect of the carrying out of the plans of the Five States Milk Produc- ers' Association seem bright. E. c. Seeley, the president of the local Union, is very hopeful, as will be seen by his letter elsewhere. In a private note to the editor MT Seeley says;
 "The rapid development of this milk organization Is wonderful. While we have had great enthusiasm ia former years when organizing the farmers, we have never before had some one on whom we could put the heavy end of the load, which has always been the marketing the milk. Consequently we have become discouraged and failure to greater or less extent has been the result. If the parties with whom we have to deal shall prove to be what we seem to have reason to think hey will be, this surely must be the greatest success the milkmen have ever had in my day. And we certainly hope their anticipation may result in re- alizatlon. The milk business has been at low water mark for the last few years, and if this plan will help to bring them out of the woods, we shall all rejoice.

BETHEL.
THE BLIZZARD IN BETHEL.

The snow storm which came lightly on Sunday continued Monday until near midnight. The storm appeared aU it's greatest he,ghr about 1 o'clock In the afternO)n. At that hour a northeast gale of wind, accompanied with blinding snow, swept with terrible fury down the east side of Shelter Rock hill, sweeping around the hill past the Congregational church. The sidewalks had been cleared through the day but were almost im- passable before sunset. People return ing home from work had fearful expe- rlence in getting there. They were obliged to wallow through three feet of snow in some places and were blinded by the storm. The weather was not as in. tensely cold as in the 1888 blizzard, other wise one's experiences in walking a mile were about the same. The hat factories were all heated up on Monday and turned out some work. Most of the trimmers and binders returned to their homes at an early hour, which was no doubt very providential for them. The hat factories on Tuesday were all closed for the day. The weather was clear and the sun shone brightly, which warmed the air. The sidewalks were pretty much cleared be- fore noon. In the east part of the bor- ough E. T. Andrews was out with his snow blow, two horses attached tandem, and had severe work to pull through the big banks. The highways into town from Wolf Pits and Plumtrees districts were broken through early in the day. Wolf Pits people take pride in being irst into town after snow storm. An enter prising lot of young men take hold of the work and push 1t through. Most of these people work in the factories. The work Is under the supervision of William H Smith, a veteran of the Civil war, age, experience, and possessing a gift of gab, makes him a suitable person to direct great undertakings.

SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT.

SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT.
 The fall of '98 and winter of '99 will leave an impression not easily eradicated from the memory. Seldom is it that two blizzards of such magnitude occur at so short an interval of space as that of No vember and this of the 18th. The cold wave extended over the entire southern section, 80 that it was several degrees below freezing at San Antonia. It there fore was an assured fact that the cold would continue for many days. In the midst of thIs stress, a rain storm from the south is met by 8 northeaster and genuine blizzard IS the inevitable result. Weather such as this has to be talked about. Not only in localities where it bars out everything else, ana so is the only news, but in the cities where it changes all the conditions of living. It becomes 8 distinct part of journalism as well as human experience.
