Waterbury Democrat., 1901-05-27

The Hon Bourke Cochran, who lacks not courage, at least, even if a trife indiscreet at times, is now with the party that is trying to clean up New York politically and otherwise. At a dinner the other evening he proposed a unique scheme for governing New York. He would place the responsi- bility for good government on the shoulders of the men at the head of the various wards. During his speech he punched the absent Croker as fol lows: "The force that controls this city is such that no interest can escape its hostility, if that hostility should be incurred. Any public contractor can be ruined by the boss's frown, any pro- fessional man can be enriched by his smile. Surely, never was there power like this before in the history of the world, for, though the boss is all pow erful, his power is never seen. was amused at the suggestion of a statute to prevent political contributions by corporations. Why, the boss owns the corporations, since he controls the fran chises. so he does not need eontribu- tions Now consider what this means. The boss is steadily enlarging his con trol of corporate interests, so that it may cover transportation, gas and ice, and no one can tell where it will stop. Suppose a great strike should come which would imperil these great inter- ests. Does anybody imagine that the boss would stop at the exercise of any part of his power in order to prevent the loss of his profits? In such a struggle would the police be likely to exercise the moral influence which after all is the source of their chief power? The club by the policeman's side is the least powerful of his weapons. The most powerful is the respect which he inspires as the rep resentatiye of the majesty of the law. But when it shall appear in any great labor disturbance that he is merely the employe of one party to the contro- versy, that moral force will be lost. There will be resentment, then resist ance, and finally riot and anarchy"

A breezy Maryland man has brought suit against a girl who tilted him. Ex- penses attendant upon courtship are contained in Exhibit A, viz: ice cream, S10.40; oysters, $5; church contribu- tions, S1.32; Fourth of July dinner, S2.25; jewels, S3.05; money loaned, $5; total, $27.O2. The disproportionate cost of ice cream and jewels is noticeable. He ought to take the banner for the meanest man on either shore of Mary and.-Bridgeport Post.
 You're right. There is no mention of horse hire nor no moonlight excur- sions. If that man couldn't get up a better and bigger bill of expenses, legitimately, too, he deserves to lose his case.

The Hartford Post which has taken more than ordinary interest in the machinists' strike, says that 'one pos sible adjustment of the strike upon a basis of compromise has been suggest ed. It is this: That the manufacture CTS, while declining all formal recogni- ton of the union, consent to treat with their employees as a body and to con- fer with representative committees of operatives. On the one hand, an arr rangement of this sort would give the manufacturers whatever advantages accrue from failure to recognize the union. On the. other hand, it would give to the employees whatever adYan- tages accrue from organization and from the opportunity to deal with their employers through committees" That sounds well enough and perhaps is the most sensible way out of the difficulty, but would the manufacturers recognize the men if they did not have a power ful union behind them, and will the employers continue to recognize their employees as a body" after a settle ment has been reached? Meh may make demands and all the employees of a single fac tory may back it up. but it avails not very many times unless there is some thing stronger back of the whole movement. However, the Democrat believes half loaf is better than none, and the suggestions offered by the Post are worth considering.

Congressman Joel P. Heatwole, of Northfield, Minn., is being urged by labor unions in many parts of the country to stand as candidate for the office of United States public printer. He is the chairman of the printing committee of the house, and is said to be one of the most popu- lar representatives and friends to la bor that ever held the position.

ing to s'pass up'' anything which she could not bring down with a rifle or revolver.
 When Miss Fry went to Idaho in 1895, she bought a ranch in Payette valley, stocked it with horses and em- ployed competent foreman to look after her interests.
 She is splendid horsewoman, and has ridden and conquered many bron- chos which the nerviest cowboys of Idaho did not care to undertake to ride second time.
 She attends to the details of ship ping and disposing of her horses, all of which are branded "J. F." and can mount pony and ''cut out" maver- ick from the herd as we'll as any cow boy on the range. She recently dis posed of 50 head of horses to repre- sentative of the British government, for use in the Transvaal.
 Driving, and particularly riding, has always been passion with me" she said. Even when I was teaching school an opportNnity for spin be- hind fast trotter or canter on a W11u, unldn1GO cay use was SC1oOllI <t4- lowed to slip. have couple of as good cow ponies as can be found in Idaho, and every summer oversee the roundups and the branding. It may seem odd for a woman to be engaged in such work, but it is possible, as you would see if you were there.
 "Yes, there is something fascinating about western life. One soon tires of city life, with it's theaters, balls, card parties and such things, and feel that I want to get out where there are no fences or restrictions of any kind
 sI like nothing better than to rope one of my little ponies and take can- ter over the range. Sometimes go with the men, but often I ride alone There is no danger, although it is pretty wild out there in the Idaho mountains for woman. Tn case of an emergency I could protect myself, for l always carry a revolver, and hap pen to be one of the few women who know how to use it."

THE RIOTS IN ATHENS.

n r EN- who ready to fight do not concern
IVl themselves much about the nature of the in
L L cident that precpitates the struggle. Thus
history records many wars that seemingly resulted
from trivial Tasso has told us of fight be-
tween two Italian states over stolen bucket and
there was once long contest between Great Britain
and Spain because certain Spaniards off the ears
of Englishnan ramed Jenkins. With such
precedents in the past need be surprised that
the Athenians rioting and spilng blood because
of proposal to translate the Gospels into modern
Greek
OF course the man on the street in Athens cares
great deal more about Greek than does the man
in San Francisco He has not been accustomed to
dismiss problems for which he cares nothing by say
ing, They all Greek to me-" 1t can therefore
be readily understood why he should care something
about the language but it is easy to understand
why he should wish to fight his neighbor because the
Government has deemed fit to publish an edition of
the New Testament in the Greek that is spoken to-
day instead of in the Greek that was spoken two
thousand years ago.
We are told that the students of the University of
Athens who are leading the rioters have come to the
conclusion that the proposed publication designed
in the interests of Russia. Queen Olga is by birth
Russian; she favors the new publication, and
therefore, according to student logic the publication
Slavism into the hearts of Greek youth
We are not aware how large proportion of the
young men Of Greece devote their spare time to
reading the Gospels in old Greek or would give their
time to it if published in modern Greek and con-
sequently not able to judge the merits of the
cause for which the students are fighting Possibly
the innovation might be fraught with much danger
to the student body. 1t might enable the common
people read the Gospels and understand them lust
as well as the university men, and that of course
would be loss of scholarly prestige 1t may be
that such issue impels the students to rise and
mutiny but inclined to believe that the new
publication is only pretense for fighting and that
the students have been looking for something to have
row over for long time and have taken UP this
solely because it gives to the fight something of
religious, literary ard patriotic glow
Whatever be the motive for the riotng it seems to
be popular. We are told that twenty thousand peo-
pie gathered on Thursday evening around the ruins
of the Temple Of Jupiter Olympus to cheer the stu
dents who were making a demonstration there II
would have been impertnence for an orator in

THE BEEF SUPPLY.

~ HlCAGO reports are to the effect that infor-
I nation has been received at the headquarters
- Of the National Livestock Association which
justes the belief that Congress will have the West
public land situation brought its attention this
winter in new and startling manner. The report
goes to say that from an investigation which has
been comprehensively carried out information has
been obtained which shows that during the past five
years there has been an enormous decrease in the
number OF cattle in this country and that the de-
crease is due almost solely to the destruction of the
grasses the public range
Information of that kind NAV be "new and start
ling Congress- but it will not be so to the people
OF the West who have given any attention to the
subject Over and over again The Call has pointed
out and emphasized that very fact. The ranges have
been overstocked, with the result that the natural
pasturage has been well nigh destroyed. No one has
any permanent interest reseeding the range or in
trying to preserve such grasses remain it. The
struggle for the range has led to repeated outbreaks
OF lawlessness and to something like war between
the rival cattle men and sheep men, who seek to get
possession of any tract that promises to yield feed
enough for their stock
1t is certainly time that Congress should deal with
the issue in rational way By leasing the public
lands the Government could not only obtain rev.
enue from them available for use in promoting irr-
cation and the storage of food waters but the lease
holders would be encouraged to reseed and pro-
tec the grasses of the lands covered by their leases
and thus double benefit would at once accrue The
present waste system has been already carried too
far, and the shortage in the beef supply reported
from Cmcago is warning of what will happen unless
a remedy is applied to the evil.
