 If Ite Few SnaperS can be believed, Teddy is being unmercifully and concertedly snubbed by the republican bosses from Hanna down.
 There is danger that the republicans in congress will consider the result of the election an endorsement of extrav agant appropriations. and will act ac cordingly. The surplus in the treasury is 9 great temptation to the manipu iatorS of jobs.
 The Waterbury authorities. thinking that the price for public lighting in that city is pretty steep, are talking about taking the necessary legal steps to secure the erection of q municipal electric lighting plant. Probably they are biutting, however.-Hartford Post.
 The war in South Africa has taught the English government the necessity for reform in it's army organization and methods. just as our war with Spain taught us. The English have taken steps toward remedying their troubles, but we are going on in the SdIle Olu Way.
 According to information received by the state department at Washing ton, records have been found in Pekin showing that the Chinese landed on the American continent A. D. 499 Possibly this may explain the resem- blance between the American Indians and the Chinese.-Bridgepo Post.

If the anti J Quayites will put up a candidate who will be supported by all the democrats and by the five members or the legisla- ture classed as 'dOubtful,' Quay may be defeated; otherwise he cannot be.
 One of the things demonstrated by the census of 1900 is that this is q country of transportation. It is shown that for every man, woman and child in the United States one ton of freight is carried 1921 miles.

 The Waterbury union of the '. P. s. c. E. in mass meeting strongly de- | nOunced the Sunday football games played in that city. Last summer Sun day base ball was played and we never heard of the union making any remOn- strance. The wedge entered then and it is being driven deeper all the time | Instead of spending vocal effort in de- nunciations why does not the Water bury union invoke the aid of the law? -Ansonia Sentinel.
 A new Irish parliamentary leader l has come into marked prominence of i late. This is William O'Brien. mem- Der from the city of Cork who is said to now wield d power equal to that 1 formerly exercised by Parnen Only a year ago he organized the United l Irish league, of which eighty-one mem- 1 bers have just been elected to parlia ment. This is q great victory for the | party led by O'Brien, giving Ireland much strength in the British parlia
 ment. He says that the Irish question
 will from this time be forced to the front in parliament. O'Brien supports Redmond and is against Healy.-New
 Haven Union.
 Waterbury. compared with many
 places, is a model city. It has a most efficient police force, and it might be easily proven that there are fewer vio- | lations of the law within its limits | than in any city its size in the state. l There are very few viola tions of the liquor laws. comparatively speaking. | and what violations there are. are not
 so fragrant as to offend the public eye. It may be said with assurance that
 there is not house of ill-fame in the | city. Of course such institutions | spring into existence now and then. | but they are not allowed to flourish
 long. They are short lived, for no
 sooner are they spotted by the police
 than they are watched and raided at | an opportune moment There is also
 but little or no gambling. Only We'd
 nesday night two houses of unsavory
 reputation were raided by the vigil | ant officers. On the whole. as com pared with other cities, Waterbury is
 moral place. The only fault that
 can be found with Waterbury police | officers is that they refuse to enforce the laws over the limits of the city. in
 the town. It is surely their duty to | defend the people of the city from the | evil dens that exist just over the bor- | der. It is widely known that in the town of Waterbury are notorious re-
 sorts which the police have raided on l occasions with good results. These
 bad houses flourish teddy with the i cognizance of the Waterbury police
 force, but the officers say it is none of
 their affair what goes On in the town
 Right there is their mistake. If the
 town officers are negligent in their
 work, the police should come to the
 relief of the people Bridgeport Tele- gram.
