There has been considerable said
about the light vote at the Democratic
primaries, last Saturday, but when one
comes to foot 1t up II isn't SO light after
ALL Nearly $500 votes were cast at a
primary where there were but few con-
tests and on one Of the hottest days Of
the year. II was also bad time to
hold a primary for the country dis
tricts, as crops needed attention. The
showing made is remarkable under all
of the circumstances, and augurs well
for success this fall.

And so the spirit Of our American ma
ton is put into the royal balance, and it
will be weighed as certainly as all the
nations Of the past were weighed and ss
oil the nations Of the present are being
weighed. When we go to estimate the
wealth Of this nation, we weight its gold
and silver and coal and iron and copper
and lead, and all the steelyards and all
the balances are kept busy. So many
tons of this and so many tons of that, a
mountainful Of this metal and another
~mountainful of another metal. That is
well. We want to know our mining
wealth, our manufacturing wealth. our
agricultural wealth, and the bushel meas
ure and the scales have an important
work. But know right well there is a d.
vine weighing in this country all the time
going on, and ! can tell you our coun-
try's destiny If % will tell me whether
it shall be a Cod honoring nation. rever-

NEW CITY EMPIOYES.
Thomas Morgan and Timothy F. Lud-
 dy Added to the Force.

S>s
 Charles r. Peal, for the past ten years an employe of the water depart ment, will sever his connection with the city tomorrow and will start do- ing little farming on his place at Pomfret, this state. Mir Peal has host of warm personal friends ill Wa terbury who will always be pleased to hear of his success. He is compe- tent workman and has made friends of all with whom he has come in con- tact during his residence in this city.
 He will be succeeded in the water department by Thomas Morgan, a practical plumber, who has had con- siderable experience in the business, and is considered a very competent man to take hold of the job. MT Nor gan went to work to-day. Timothy
 r. Luddy has also accepted a position
 in the bureau of water. He will as- sist in reading meters and will perform
 any other services that may be re-
 quired of him in the department. MT Luddy has been delivery clerk for the
 Miller X Peck company for the past
 seven or eight wears, and possesses all the qualifications necessary to make
 valuable man to the city in that ca
 pacity. He handed in his notice to
 the Miller & Peck company to-day and
 will enter the employ of the city next Monday. Another position which peo-
 pie are wondering has not been filled
 before now is that of assistant to the
 comptroller. While many claim that John Howard, a clerk in the bureau Of
 water. will be transferred to the comp troller'S office, still no one seems to
 know for sure. though there are dozens
 about town who would give a good
 deal to find out. Then. in case Mir Howard should go to the comptrollers office there will have to be some one appointed in his place at the desk in the City hall annex. where he is re- garded as a first class clerk. Who'll fall in for that?'
 Another office that is occasioning considerable uneaSineSS in the minds of people who would like to work for the city is the foremanship of the sewer department. which has been va cant for some time. Of course. the sewer department is looked after by Mr Kelley. but. even so.- there has always been a foreman there. and in asmuch as the work is growing. it is hard to see how one man can attend
 to both positions without running him. self to death. and that is something that ought not to be expected of any man in this city or any place else. Probably there is not a buster man in
 Waterbury than Superintendent Kelley will be from now until next fall. and if he can keep an eye upon the various matters that will demand his atten- ton on the street he will be doing | Well without botherinG his head with the sewers. But with the opening up of spring and after we have heard q few notes from the bluebird all these
 places will be filled and then every thing will be in readiness for a big summers work.

PUPILS OF DRIGGS SCHOOL

Rendered an Excellent Entertainment
 at St. Johns Parish House.
 It was almost impossible to obtain a vacant seat at St Johns parish house after s o'clock last evening, so large was the audience which was attracted by the entertainment given by the pupils of Grade VIII of the Driggs school. But the attendance was by no means larger than the eXcellency and variety of the stage program de- served. The various numbers on the program were rendered with q facility which was splendid. The singing was of a high order, the recitations were superb, the instrumental selections were played With perfection and the singing of the chorus was marked by q blending of movement and a har- mOny of action which spoke stronger than words of the merits and efficiency of their musical instructor, Miss Dee. The opening number was a selection by the orchestra entitled Aunt Mandy's Wedding The following pupils composed the orchestra: George and Merritt Tompkins. Ned Boadley, Edith Walsh. Louise Jacobs. Greetla Clark, Ruth Chapman and Edith Will lets. They appeared several times dur ing the evening and each selection was rendered in an admirable manner. A ''Song of Welcome' by the chorus and q Girls duet were pleasing num- bers and received hearty applause. X violin solo. "Romanye" by Ned Hoad- ley was one of the gems of the evening while Miss Bertha Crockford recited in q very charming style, ''The IT. "Tarantella," F minor, by Hattie Grilley, was remarkably good. The first part was concluded with an amusing bacward drill by ten little boys and girls.
 The second part of the program was just>as attractive as the first. It con sisted of the following numbers:
 Orchestra. 'One Kiss Tells All.''
 Chorus, Marching Song''
 Violin solo, "Flower Song" by re- quest, Master George Tompkins.
 Boys trio, Mount Vernon BelIs,''
 Chorus. Star Spangled Banner" with Delsarte movements.
 Piano solo. "SheDard's Evening Song" Miss IIittie Andrews.
 ''Cinde ella.' in three acts.
 Orchestra, Hell Me What I AL ways Long to Know
 Chorus. Friends, GooG-Night.'
 The boys trio consisted ofG. and M Tompkins, Wilfred Schlegel, Harold Campbell. Howard Barbour and Wal ter Davis. Their selections were of q rare merit. l
 The entertainment throughout was prettily rendered and much credit should be accorded Miss Niver for the excellent manner in which she ar ranged everything. It only need be said that Miss Dee had charge of the musical part of the entertainment. Her abilities are SO we'll known that no further comment is necessary. Many members of the '97 class Of the Hillside avenue school were present and assisted somewhat in the details. Fred Charters made an efficient an- nouncer. Fred Marks and hOmas Finn were ticket-takers. while Howard Bar low and Lewis Platt were ushers.

IENTZ- WAS ANGRY.
The Speaker Held His Speech Back
 and Would Not Allow Its Printing.

and Would Not Allow Its Printing.
 Washington, Feb 27.-The house was the scene of a sensational incident E.s- terday afternoon which threw that body into a violent state of excitement. For an hour the storm ragged, ending abruptly when an adjournment was taken on motion of MT Payne, the floor leader of the minority.
 MT Lentz, an Ohio democrat. who mas created many sensations in his service in the house. stirred the demo- crats to a fever pitch by rising to q question of privilege and alleging that speech he had turned over to the public printer under general leave to print had been withheld from the Rec ord and had been turned over to Gen. eral Grosvenor of Ohio by the speaker.
 The character of the speech was not developed in the events that followed. but it was learned that it was an at tack upon Senator Hanna and the methods by which he was, elected to the senate. r '
 The speaker explained that it had been represented to him that the speech violated the privileges of the house, and he had directed that it be withheld until he could look over it. Pressure of business had prevented him from doing so, however, and only twenty minutes before, he-said. he had directed that the speech go into the Record, believing that if it contained anything offensive it could be stricken out by the house later
 Intense excitement followed Sey- eral points of order were made by re- publicans, but the speaker declined to sidetrack the matter. holding, how ever, that to proceed a proposition of some sort must be before the house. Thereupon MT Richardson, the demo- cratic leader, offered q resolution de- claring that the speaker had no right to withhold speeches. Against this the question of consideration was raised by MT Lacey, and by q strict party vote the house decided not to consider it. Amid still greater excite ment and confusion MT Richardson of fered another resolution condemninr the speakers actions in terms. and di- recting that the speech be delivered forthwith to the public printer. Again Mir Lacey raised the question of con sideration and again, by a strict party vote. the house refused to consider it.
 At this point further proceedings were cut off by an adjournment taken on motion of Mir Payne. and again sus- tained by a strict party vote. The controversy probably will be resumed today.
 Earlier in the day partial confer ence report on the Indian appropria- ton bill was agreed to, and the bill was sent back to conferences. The western members made an intellectual effort to accept the senate amendment apprepriating $10O,OOO for sirrigation experiments on the Gila river. in, Ari- zona. but they were defeated, 5S to. 97.
