Waterbury Democrat., 1900-11-01

In addition to compelling the repub- lican voters employed by the govern ment to go home and vote the repub- lican bosses are keeping democrats in
 the employ of the government from going home to vote. A democratic capitol policeman said on this subject: ''The tip has been given to the few democrats that are Or the force that it will be better for us not to go home to vote, and although the zip has been given out in the nature of a sugges- ton, it has been construed by the men to whom it was given ss threat, and has deterred several of us from going home to register. No circular has been sent out to us, but the word has been passed along to us by the republican members of the force, with the in- situation that it had come down from 9 pretty high source.'' =.

In a paper read before the congress of the National Prison Association
 held in Cleveland, it was shown, says the Ave Maria.s that the s-ilual expen- allure put upon our government by the criminal classes, amounts to two hun dred millions of dollars! The annual loss of individuals froi.: robbers, for geries, etc, is twice that amount. If one were to consider that the execu- tive, legislative and judicial depart ments of the government are largely occupied with the erection of penal in- stitutions, the preparation of penal statutes, and the prosecution of crim- inals. it would be difficult even to guess at the actual expense entailed by @ crime Eugene Smith, who brought this matter before the Cleve. land congress- believes that unless a remedy for this shocking condition be

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

1he British West Indies comprises an area Of 12, 175 miles.
 The value of Mexican oranges sent to the United States last year was $780, GAS, an increase of ,000.
 It is estimated that the number of Americans in Paris is not less than 75,- 900, of which 35,ooO are living in apart nents and 10000 are transients. They spend at least 1,5oo,Ooo francs ($3o,Oo0) per day in the French capital.
 The climate of Guam is trying in the extreme. The temperature is cooler than in the Philippines, except when there occurs an interruption of the northeast trade wind, during August and September. Then the monsoons sweep over the laHd and the heat is almost unendura ble.
 One of the greatest essentials with regard to the recommendation of a London footman is not only his height, but the size and form of his legs. To suit the needs of those who have not been gifted with a well-formed leg the livery makers supply artificial calves. which pad out the leg to respectable size. A pair of these pads cost about five shillings.
 There are millions of feet of flooring in the Philippine islands which have been hewed out wit the adz. Some of the floors of the best houses of Manila are of this kind. One can see the rough places where the chips have been cut out, but the grain of the wood is so fine that, from daily sweeping and scrub ping, it has taken polish like that of plate glass mirror.
 A good deal has been said about the precious collections of laces owned by some of the royal ladies of Europe, but | it is now we'll known that there arc several ladies in America who have 1 laces more valuable than those owned | by any European potentate. The faces of the Astor family are valued at s 6o,- | GOO, and those of the Vanderbilts al | $ 100000. More lace is bought in New York than in any other city of the world. The pope. is said to own lace to the value of 175,000. Queen Vic toria has s75,000 worth, while those belonging to the princess of Wales are valued at $ 50,oOo. The dress worn by her majesty at her wedding was trimmed with a magnificent piece o1 Honiton lace, which must have cost quite 1000.

The board of construction of the navy department evidently takes no stock in the fairy tales of Mir Mckin- ley and other republicans, concerning the future reduction of the govern ment's income by the repeal of the war taxes. as it is gong ahead upon project for building additions to our navy that will make it imperia1istic in size, as well as in the class of vessels. This project involves the construction of no less than forty cTdrships. How much all this is to cost has not been given out, and, of course, will not be until after election. but that it will be enormous is certain, and that if car ried out it will require an increase in taxation instead of tine reduction promised, is equally certain.

In 1876 Zach Chandler, then chair man of the republican national com mittee, sent his famous dispatch Con cede nothing; claim everything. The result was the theft of the presidency by the republican party. To-day the republican managers are adopting the same policy. Their campaign for the past ten days has been one of bluff and buster. Every political incident has been favorable to Bryan, but every day the republican claims are noisier. Last week Chairman Payne announced in the papers all over the country that he would bet to i that Bryan would get fewer electoral votes than in 1886. Repeated efforts have been made by democrats to get MT Payne to bet any thing from $500 to S5U,OOO, but he won't put up a cent. His purpose was served when his bluff was widely her aided. for he knew that the fact of his backing down would not get as wide publicity. Now the republicans are claiming Missouri and Kentucky, not because they have any expectation of carrying them, but in the desperate hope that a show of confidence may reanimate their despairing voters. MT Bryan will carry every state he did in 1896, with the possible exception of Wyoming. He will carry New York, Maryland, Kentucky, Ohio, West Vir- ginia and Indiana. In California, H. linois, Minnesota. Michigan and Del aware conditions favor the democrats. The situation cannot be changed by the fulminations of Perry Heath and H. c. Payne, nor can the states which Bryan will carry be either bought or stolen this year. The democratic or ganization is systematic, it's members alert in every state where there is req son to apprehend danger.

The only avenue for flight Was up the chimney; here he climbed Until he stuck-and then he rhymed As follows: ,...
 "Goodness gracious me!

 Oh, dear, I'm in an awful plight

M
 Doubleday, Page & Go of New York. It will be called the Worlds Work. Tn the prospectus of the first issue the following article on the cost of nation al campaigns will be of interest just at this time. It says that ''in 1876 more than $90O,O0O were collected and spent by the campaign managers of the two parties. Four years later they had at their disposal more than $1,
 100000, and in 1884 the campaign dis bursements were half as much again. In 1888 the Harrison Cleveland cam paign cost not less than S1. .S00000, and in the campaign of 1892 the eXpendi- lures of the two national committees were quite $2OOO,OOO. Finally in 1896 more than S4,OOO.OO0 passed through the hands of Chairman Hanna and Chairman Jones and their associates. Indeed, some of the shrewdest polti- clans are of the opinion that the sci ence of campaigning will be developed in the near future to such an extent that each national committee will be compelled to organize something like bank or trust company which shall have control of it's financial operations; for they have now become so enor- nous that they demand something diff ferent from the comparatively ire sponsible method of handling the funds in past years. The most expen- sive work of national campaign is done during the last three weeks be- fore the election. Every doubtful state and city is closely watched by men prompt to discover every change in the political tide, and money is transmitted in large sums to the To- calities in which it is believed it will produce the best results. A few days before the election in 1888 West Vir. ginia received S44,OO0 from the demo. l cratic national committee, and the re, publicans sent $50,000 to the same state. About the same time the dem | ocrats sent $10O,000 into Indiana; and l three nights before the election Chair man Quay of the republican nationa committee sent $30O000 from New York to trusted Ieutenants in For l Wayne, Ind. A fortnight before the 1 election of 1896 the republicans be came doubtful about Iowa. Chairman Hanna at once resolved upon a per sonal canvass of every voter in tht state. He proposed that every vote, not classed in the polling lists eithe
 as downright democrat or a down
 right republican should be visited b. some jealous and tactful member O
 the republican party. Before election day the thousands of such men il
 towns, in cities and in the countr. were sought out and appealed to by tn
 republicans most likely to win them
 and this canvass is said to have cos
 the republican national committe
 more than $200,O00. Reckoning all tn
 expenses in all the states, it may
 roughly estimated that presidents
 campaign, including also compression
 al, gubernatorial and lesser campaigns
 causes the total expenditure of pel
 haps $20,0oO,OoO.'
