WATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT. TUESDAY, JUNE 9 19of

Superintendent Kelley put the seats on the green to-day and as a result ey- erybody is happy.
 It has just been ascertained that tine sale of tickets for the Methodist and Baptist Sunday school excursion to Hanover park next Thursday must be limited. Therefore first come first served. Tickets for sale, by Davis & Nye and Gillmor, the natter.
 The city Is laying a new watermain in Phoenix avenue; This is something that would not have to be done this year were it not for the paving of the street The old service is from a two inch pipe and it was thought bad pol icy to put down an expensive paving over a pipe which was apt to give out any day and was too small for the re- quirement of the place besides.
 At meeting of Magnolia lodge, K of P, last night. officers were elected as follows: Charles Bryan, chancellor; John J. Splain, yice-chancellor; Charles H. Morrison, prelate; Arthur Weir, mas ter of work; William Adams, keeper of records and seals; W. H. Latham, mas ter of finance; F. G. Palmer, master of eXchequer; Edward Bradley, master at arms; Thomas Hardy, inside guard 1; David Barribeault, outside guard; Will liam Adams, trustee; Dr J. J. Galley, physician, William Adams and Arthur Weir, delegates to Grand lodge.
 Thomas Kelly is cutting hay on his farm at Quassapaug and reports the crop much better than last season. By getting it down now MT Kelly thinks he will be able to have another whack at it in the fall, and if he does not care to try it again he says the after grass will be very valuable. Kelly is said to be the best mower in Water bury. He attributes his success to his skill in sharpening the scythe, and says he has a way of doing this that no living man but himself knows any thing about. It is q secret given him by his father with solemn injunction that it be kept exclusively in the pos session of the Kelly family for all time. When Kelly sharpens the blade the edge is so keen it requires but little effort to use it. and to make things bet ter the fine edge lasts until it strikes a stone or some other hard substance.

HOT .WEA THEIR
 COMFORTS. A New Porch Shade.

We have, found a new Veranda Screen and we are enthusiastic in re- gard to it. When you own one your enthusiasm will equal ours. The name is ''The Vudor" It is superior in ap- pearance and durability to the bamboo screens commonly used, and as it comes in colors and mottled effect various tastes in this respect can be suited. Made of linden wood, they won't warp, and they run so smoothly that they will be used for window shades as we'll as porch screens. Call and see them.

TRICK OF EMINENT RESPECT.
ABILITY.

1t was possibly, the eminent respect

great row over the curt way in which
Mayor Ashbridge. of Philadelphia, dis
posed of the letter Of John Wannmaker,
offering S2,5O0,00O for the railway fran

liiiicutics which we notice and which
puts the balance of trade with South
America strongly against the United
States, are due to some other than tariff
influences. 1t will be foupd that the
Americans have been forstalled in some
Important element OF trade. II is pos
sibly n question of bank exchanges, or of
freight rates in transpol tation. 1t may
be that there arc lacking the elements
OF esteem of confidenc ard esteem which
lie ut the bottom of international trade

things coincide to produce the result.
Sure It is that the tariff loes not prevent
an equalization of trade with South
America; and sure, also, is it, that what
Is chilled reciprocity letting down Of

IN the development of trade the American
people have been led into trying con
clusiors with the European manufact-
urcrs and merchants in their domestic
markets, upon the suppositon that only
highly civilized people were consumers
Of American products; and that much

COMMENTS OF THE DAY.1
Prospective Retirement of Senator
PIatt.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The news that Senator Plutt, of New
York will retire from the Senate mt the
end of his present term will hardly be
very much of Il surprise to IN observant
ANA instructed public.
Mr.. Platt is getting along in years.
by the time his term expires he will
have reached the age of three score and
ten. and while it is said that he is now
iii better health than he has been for
some time lately, ii is no secret that his
many activities and heavy responsibilities
have been telling severely upon his
strength. 1t is only natural that he
should wish to withdraw from the field
IN which during so prolonged periG,l
he has been such prominent figure
and such IN influential force to spend
the remainder OF his days in rest and
quiet which heretofore he has been pre-
Guided from enjoying.
He has had II successful! aud strenuous
career. 1t has also been Il chrckercd one.
Few men have shown IN such marked
degree the power of recup.ra',on. Few
have survived revcrses so considerable
and have so rapidly transferred what
seemed to be an irremcdiable defeat into
Il complete and lasting victory. Twenty
years ago. when having in company with
Roscoe Conklng. resigned his seat in the
Senate rs Il protest against what he re-
garded as an act of treachery, he failed
to secure from the legislature Of his
State the support upon which he had
counted it seemed as though his public
course were run, ms though there were
nothing for him thereafter but the pre-
ratc station But appearances are often
dcceittul and they are seldom more de-
ccilfnl than they We're upon that occas-
ion. Mr.. plattss career had not been
closed. 1t had not much more than be-
gun. The best part of it lay before him.
He had soon re-eStablish.d himself in the
leadership of the Empire State, and from
that day to this his supremacy in the
councils or his party has never been ser
iOuSly questioned.
1t is not questioned now. He remains
thu dnminent factor in the Republican
politics of New York State. His advice
is as much sought. his counsels are Ms
much needed. his influence is as mach felt
rs ever and If he is thinking of putting
off some Of the burden which he has 50
long been carrying. the thought is all his
own and needs no other explanation than
a personal and easily intellisiblc prefer
cncc. Indeed. he will not be permitted
without protest which he can hardly
fail t. heed to make his withdrawal alb
Solutc and complete Retiring from the
Senate he will bc expected to retain his
position 1T the head Of the Republican
organization and il is believed that he
will consent to do il. Leaders Of the
capacity are 50 hard to find that they
canont easily BE- spared.

PAN-AMERIcAN COMMERCE.

Trade conditions between this country
ana South .\mcrica appears Ia disproyc
All the free trade theories about thu tar
if. particularly the theory that the
tarifi Is 4 bar to commerce. Under tariff
regulations il is generally assumed that
imports IRE reduced and IS 4 result the
importing parties refuse to buy from HE
PARTIES taxing imports. The rule does
not hold good. In relation 10 Sonth
American trade the tariff appears to have
foStered importation TO this country. tho
state Of trade being represented by the
Following figures: Imports from south
America $9i,O0oOOo year, exports To
South America $39,O0O.OOO
Here is . case whore. according TO the
free trauerS, South America pays thrift
taxes on $94000,OOO worth Of goods sent
into The United States. aud buys only
about onr-tlrd IL that amount from thr
Tntcd States. What do our d6ctrinairrs
propose for the evening up of these differ
cnces? vii! the removal Of the tariff in
'''"H' lihl'"ItatlollS " inns country. or
increase the exports thcrcfrom? In what
way can what s called reciprocity W ~
tablish"d here; That there ought TO be-
mere general reciprocal tradc relations
with South America is plainly evident.
but how is that TO be brought about
The tariff does not affect South American
trade with the United States. or if it
do;s then the free trade theories Of Tho
manner and method Of that affecting are
all wrong.
We think little thought about this
