Local Politics.

Who is to be our next mayor? This is the chief question heard today on the streets. Naturally all eyes are first turned to the situation i'll the Demo cratic camp. This is so because Water bury casts a strong majority Demo cratic vote under favorable circum- stances. It all depends, however on what kind of ticket the party places in mination-whether it succeeds hand somely or is badly whipped. It is there fore only when we know whom the Democrats select that the question of Republican nominees becomes of any importance or even consideration.
 Every passing day now sees the Dem- ocratic lines drawing closer and closer. The candidates are also beginning to in ject into the canvass their finest work Mayor Kilduf has many personal work CTS, men of great experience, tact and skill. Evidently his honor realizes the fact that much more and harder ante election work for the nomination must be done in his behalf this time than was necessary on any of his previous candi- dacies. Heretofore the nomination has sort of 'sfa1len into his lap," easily and without much trouble. On former oc- casions, when dozens of othor names have been mentioned weeks before hand, and it has been matter of doubt whether MT. Kilduf would be in the game at all, he has easily been put for ward at the final heat, renominated, and the names and chances of all the other mushroom aspirants have, as the poet puts it
 Melted like snow heath the glance of
 the Lord.''
 But this time Mayor Kilduff has contest on hand in which he has power ful contestants, so powerful in fact that his own chances of success are some

On August 2Oth the Waterbury Driv- ing association will give it's midsummer races, and the Il ane cement is offering every inducement to horse owners to make the occasion a success; and the public are looking forward to some rare sport.
 The local association has met with unexpected and severe disappointment this season. In the first place the spring weather was so cold and wet that the hOrsef were in no condition for the early meeting which was then reluctant. 1y cut off. When it.was time for the midsummer meet the horses were up in Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, the owners having had the opportunity of entering them in meets that were held in several towns only few miles apart, thus being more profitable on ac- count of the expense of transportation to be entailed in shipping the horses down here. And in the schedule ar ranged for the midsummer circuit Waterbury hasn't had the most favor able treatment. However, the meet of the 2Oth will find entered large num- ber of the best racers in the circuit.
 The management offers as special inducement to cut the entry price to five per cent of the purse; and feed, stable room, etc., to be free.
 Great Improvements have been made at the track until now 1t is the equal of anything on the circuit.

Go ro Howlder Groye.

Mothers obliged to do their own house work shouldn't remain around the house all the time during the hot summer weather, sweltering in the heat of the humble dwelling, but should occasion ally betake themselves along with the children, on trolley ride to Bowlder Grove, thus enjoying the breezes of the trip and the cooling shade of this re- freshing resort. A few hours thus spent in the afternoon returning in time to prepare the evening meal, will never fail to place one in frame of mind that will make home and everything con- nected more attractive, and make life seem more worth the living.

All thd plants of this company have been On the non union list for number of years, but union men are at work in several of them. The Doyle and the Arms plant *nown as Factories A and F, .on the South Side, were started recently and :dIe union men in this district desire to secure employment at these works.
 One union has sent request to the national headquarters that the facto- .ies be declared open to union men. This request with the indorsement of tho national officers, has been printed and sent to the different local unions for vote. The result will be known on Saturday, October 26. when the vote will be counted.

THE NEW YORK SUN.

We wish the union men all over the state to accept this notice that the New York Sun is unfair, reports to the contrary notwithstanding. It is not so long ago that this vile ser pent sent out literature purporting to come from the Central Labor Union that all it's differences with its men had been settled. Such reports were untrue. Let the rest of the state pattern after that staunch little town, Danbury, and it will not be long before the Sun will set. In explaining allow us to say that not Sun is sold in Danbury. That's the kind of broth erly love that is worth having.
 Typographical Union, No. 6, of New York City, is untiring in it's efforts to win out in this struggle, and we wish to congratulate them on their sue cess, and to assure them that victory will surely be theirs ere long. Let US do what we can to help them along by not reading the unfair and despised Sun.

 The permanent home of the East End Workingman's club and restaurant, known as the Red House, is about ready for occupation.
 A cheerful red brick building, it gives a pleasing dash of color to the gray of the Commercial road.
 The Rev. Harry Wilson, vicar of St. Augustines, who founded the Red House, has shown an Express reporter over it.
 In spacious restaurant on the ground floor good dinner will be SUD- piled for the reasonable price of six pcnce-boiled beef, roast mutton or steak and kidney pudding, fourpence; potatoes, penny, and pastry, q penny; rice pudding, jam tart, marmalade turnover, and so on.
 Up stairs will be q recreation room where on certain nights the women workers will play the piano and sing to the guests. Usually, however, the guests will organize their own entertainments. There are q number of cubicles in tended for weekly boarders and Bible

 1 So said Ar. Stedlnan, the s,lperin- 1 tendent of the Red House, who was a foreman i'll factory for twenty years. He understands worl1ingmen. 'No man is allowed to leave the Rcd 1 House hungry" he said. ''If he has no i money. l put him in the end box and give him two doorsteps and a large cup of tea. If he's genuinely hungry, he eats it; if not. we know he's a fraud

GLORIOUS
 RECORD.

 Last Year
THE MEMBERSHIP
 IS INCREASING.

President Perkins of tie Cigar Max e:s' Internatiu-a union made his annu- q, report to the membership. A refer c-lCum vote of the organization recent ly postponed this years convention for three years, and as no report had been made to the membership since the con- vention in Detroit in 1896 President Perkins briefly summarizes the more important events and affairs of the in ternational union.
 Referring to the membership and wages during the period covered by the report. he says:
 '"The table showing the membership and number of organizations shows that we did not lose ill membership during the stagnation period, and sta tistics show that we did not suffer to any extent in the matter of reductions of wages. As to numbers. the member ship practically rcn2a ined stationary during the panic period. The growth in the membership commenced with the revival of industry and reached it's greatest height during the year 1900.
 Cigar makers to the number of 61,- 935 are employed in union towns and cities. 15. 16G find employment in juris- diction places; total, 1s.101. Twenty one thousand and thirty are reported as hand workmen, 2G.G12 as mold work CTS, S,S5O as filler breakers and rollers 3,S5O as machine workers and 4,250 ap- prentices. The number of nonunion. ci- gar makers, as reported, is 3S,5S3. and , f<ad toF of the union.
 '"The vital statistics are perhaps the most instructive and important ever complied showing, as they do, that. de spite the intense struggle engendered by the present method of production and distribution and the tremendous wear and tear on ones nervous and physical resources, the average longev- ity of our members has been increased. The figures show that in ten years the average length Of life of members of the union has increased six years and that the average length of the lives of the wives and mothers has increased eight years. This remarkable showing 2 and gratifying result is due chiefly te two causes-first, the improved contli- tion of the members. such as better wages, improved sanitary condition. more freedom and better living. aii brought about solely through tE' t...; ies union; second. thv ShorfTtii:!C of tie hours of labor.

WHAT SKATER REALLY
 WANTED.

The sum total of what MT. Shaffer wanted was this: He asked that I call a meeting of the Executive Off, cers Of all the national and interna- tional unions of the country, for the purpose of considering ways and
 means to help the steel strike, the same, he said, as was called in 1897, in Wheeling, w. Va, to aid the United Mine Workers of America in their con- test in the bitun1inCus coal regions This, I stated to him, I would not do. and gave him my reasons. - If a conference was called, as Mr. Shaffer requested, it would have been looked upon by every thinking man and particularly the directors of the United States Steel Company, as the first evidence of the Amalgamated As sociations' weakness. Such a conference would undoubtcd- ly create a stir of interest while it was being held. After the adjournment however, a reaction would have set in that, beyond doubt, would 1xav, proven disastrous to the strike, and also to the Amalgamated Association for it could not have fulfilled MT Shaffer's expectations.
