AN INTERESTING CASE.
The TariffvilIe Extension, or The Peo-
pie VS.. The Conso lldated Railroad.

The TariffvilIe Extension, or The Peo-
pie VS.. The Consolidated Railroad.
The hearing in regard to the TsriH-
vile extension was commenced before
the railroad committee of the Legislature
n Hartford on Thursday. April 4. A
brief report of said hearing has already
appeared in the columns of The News,
but complete report is published in
tho Hartford Semi Weekly Times of
April g. No one can read the complete
report without being convinced of the
justice and equity of the Hartford Il
Connecticut Western Railroads cause.
In fact, it is virtually q case of the peo-
pie vs.. The Consolidated Railroad All
of Northwestern Connecticut and East
ern Massachusetts,. and many towns in
Hartford county. as we'll as the whole
region between Millerton, N. Y, and
the coal fields of Pennsylvania, want
the extension completed Immediately,
because necessity and public ccnven-
fence demand it.
The State of Connecticut annually
appropriates q vast amount of money
for "good roads" At the hearing given
by the committee on appropriations at
Hartford March Goth, 35 or more promi-
nent men from all parts of the state
spoke in favor Of appropriating $500, 900
for good roads. No one spoke in oppo-
sition to it. If Legislators grant that
appropriation. and scores Of other SINH
lar but smaller raids on the state treas
ury, they certainly must grant the petit
ton of the Hartford & Cor necticut
Western Railroad, which asks not dol
lar from the state, not dollar from the
towns, not . dollar from individuals,
but simply asks the privilege of crossing
s1S feet OF pasture land in CRANKY after
having already expended over $500. 00O
on the extension and having been "held
mp" for more than two years by the
Consolidated road after the extension
was practically completed and ready for
operation in "a hours.
The Hartford 4 Connecticut Western
road asks only for justice and equity.
To refuse its petition would be rank in,
justice and would be blot upon the
escutcheon of Connecticut. Further.
more, it would forever cast shadow
upon the good name of each present
senator and representative. 1t is now
mp to the legislators of Connecticut &c
acquit themselves like men, render 9
righteous verdict and prove that they
are not the creatures of any monopoly
The hearing will be resumed befor.

The Discharge of Clausen.

GUSTAV L. CLAUsEN is no longer
under the painful necessity of trans
acting business with his friends in
this city over the long distance tele-
phone. He was granted a writ of
habeas corpus Wednesday IN the Chi
cpgo courts and he is now in position
to rush to the city and "explain" his
alleged transactions in regard to that
much cussed and discussed ordinance
without having to suffer the humilia-
ton of being accompanied by the
Sheriff. Clausen has all along ex-
pressed his eagerness to come to Keno
sha and explain his alleged actions,
but he managed to restrain himself
until discharged by the courts of Chi
cago. Caster furnished all the in
forma ton necessary to enable airy one
to Judge of the facts in the case, but
unfortunately his evidence can be
used only against himself. Possibly
Clausen can give the District Attor-
ney some evidence that can be used
against some of the other suspects.
Possibly Clausen might be induced to
do so. If he was held up by a gang in
the Council which refused him any or
dinance until matters were made
"right' with the "boys" and which
offered him exactly what he wanted at
a fixed price, C1ausen may have de-
cided that as plain, business PROPOSE
ton, leaving out any question of NOR
ais, he would do better to pay the
price and take the goods. If there
was any such proposition made to him,
the details of the transaction would
make "mighty interestin' readinH" for
the people of Kenosha-a1most as in
teresting as the testimony of Alder
man Kleist in the Caster case-and
would probably effect an entire change
of public opinion in regard to his con-
nection with the case. If ne was held
up by the Council gang and sand
bagged out of considerable sum of
money by these "guardians of the pub
lie treasury" as now appears proba-
bic, he owes it not only to the public,
but to himself to explain matters fully
C1ausen in this matter NAV have beer
more sinned against than SHINING.
Long before there was any action
taken in the courts in regard to the
passage of the street arailway, ordi'
nance, the air was thick3with rumors
of responsible business houses having
been hampered in their plans of max
ing needed improvements for the
proper transaction of their business
because they had neglected or refused
to grease the wheels of legislation.

none. They are more than liberal in
the matter of credits in time of stress.
Too many of their customers who,
when they are hard-up confidently ex-
pect the home dealer to extend to them
the courtesy of almost unlimited
credit, when they have the cash IN
hand spend it with merchants IN Chi
cago or Milwaukee who would never,
under any circumstances trust them
for a dollars worth of goods.
Our merchants bear rather more than
their fair share of the burdens of the
taxes, and are bright, hustling active
men constantly on the lookout for bar
gains for the benefit of their customers.
Most of them make liberal use of the
columns of the newspapers to adver-
tise their wares, and keep the public
informed of any special bargains they
may have to offer. They sell honest
goods at fair prices and they are en-
titled to the support and patronage of
everyone who has the best interests of
the city at heart.
