Instructed to Use Every Effort to se-
 cure Passage of Bill.

cure dSSdSe OI toill.
 Editor of the Evening Democrat: Last evenings Democrat quotes from a circular to which my signature is attached, which says in part we are not in favor of consolidation in a way that would be detrimental to your in terests as taxpayers, and that we are in favor of an opportunity for a full expression of opinion, etc." and in ref erence to the same would say that one of the opponents of consolidation call ed my attention to one of those circu- lars in the committee room during the hearing, saying he was going to intro duce it as evidence before the com mittee, to which I replied that if he would hand it in, I would not testify further than to say to the committee that stood by every word of that document
 Not q single person who appeared in opposition to the bill before the com mittee said it was unfair, on the con- trary, the consensus of opinion was that they did not want consolidation in any form, but that the bill was fairer than they could have expected, they were not so much afraid of this bill as they were afraid of what some future legislature might do.
 So5far as the full expression of opin- ion was concerned, the board of alder men were of the opinion that the com mittee to draft the bill, should be com posed mostly of lawyers, presuming they would be much better able to cope with the legal questions-peverthe -that committee willingly listened to full expression of opinion from every one who wanted to be heard. The writer was present on one occasion when number of gentlemen from diff ferent sections. including Waterville, Bunker Hill, Oakville and Hopeville, discussed the bill with the city attor- ney, and every change they suggested was made and every wish gratifieds Then when the bill reached the alder men, that honorable board gave num- Der of hearings where there was full expression of opinion, finally, the bill was given to me to introduce in the general assembly, at which time my real interest in the bill commenced, be- ing at this time instructed by a unani- nous vote of the board of aldermen, to use every effort for it's successful passage, which duty have performed to the best of my ability. Had the honorable board of aldermen, sor the town officials desired a vote of the people, it was within the province of either to have called such a meeting. Senator Kennedy, MT Guilfoile and myself, all received the same instruc- tions from the board of aldermen, who represent COCO of the people in the town of Waterbury Now, let your readers decide which of us followed the instructions of the representatives of those 46,00O people; surely, we were neither of Us instructed to attach amendments to the bill.
 Yours respectfully,
 GEORGE T.. LILLEY.

One Thousand Miles from Lana.

The question has been asked, is it possible to sail 1000 miles from land? :? This can be done at several points. By leaving San Francisco, and sailing northwestward into the north Pa- cific, spot is reached where there is no land--not even an islet--for 1000 miles in any direction. So, too, sail ing from the southern point of Kamtchatka southeastward ships reach point equally distant from land of any kind, the nearest to the north being the Aleutian islands, and to the south the outlying members of the Sandwich group. In the south ern Indian ocean it is possible to sail 1000 miles out from the southern points of Australia and New Zealand, and still be as far from any other land, and the same may be done in a westerly direction from Cape Horn. Indeed, from this point a much long- CT distance might be reached, for the southern Pacific, between the Horn and New Zealand, covers space of so degrees of longitude and 40 of lat- itude of absolutely un broken sea. making it's central point over 1,2oG miles from where.-Cipcinnati En- quirer.
