Waterbury Democrat., 1902-04-23

The Hartford editors haven't a word of fault to find with Mayor Sulliyan's first message, not even the editor of the Post, who, while in Waterbury used to write occasionally about quar- terly messages. Mayor Sullivan should feel congratulated to think that he hai pleased not only those who labored early and late for his election, but also feat him. Speaking of the election Of MT Sullivan, one of the current maga- zines had the following to say: "Ever since the slavery question came to tie front Connecticut has been known as one of the most conservative of the northern states. and the overwhelming republican majorities it has given siuce the democratic party came to stand for radicalism have rather strengthened it's old reputation. But despite all this. last weeks municipal elections in that state witnessed the triumph of another labor candidate-this time in Hartford long known as one of the richest cities in the United States. Bridgeport, it will be recalled, has already a 'stoler mayor and Ansonia' a carpenter mayor Hartford has now a clothing clerk mayor Ignatius A. Sullivan. president of the Hartford Central Labor union and of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, was the nominee of an Independent organization, the Economic league which with some diff ficulty captured the democratic con- vention, and made him the candidate of that party also. The platform of the league called for the public ownership of public franchises, free textbooks in the public schools, the eight-hour day for public employees, besides certain distinctively local measures. In tue election the republican party carried the city as usual, electing three-fifths of the common council, and all it's city ticket except the mayor. but MT Sulii- van was chosen by majority of over 5O0 In statement made immediate ly after his inauguration, Mayor Sulli- van declared his intention to consider the interests of all classes, and to con. fer with tinanciers and business men upon all financial and business meas ures. In his campaign speeches he urged that the workingmen did not be- lieve that they had q right to control everything, but did believe that they had right to be consulted. This sen- timent seemed to be general among the voters, and largely explains the oyer- turn.'
Waterbury Democrat., 1902-04-23

The republicans of the senate com- mittee on privileges and elections, knowing the popularity of the idea of direct election of senators, are trying to kill it by trickery, 'tis said. They have by a party vote, except that Senator Burrows had the manliness to vote against it, adopted the amend ment offered by Senator Depew pro- Yiding that the election of senators and representatives should be placed under federal supervision, and the qualification of voters should be pre- scribed by congress. The republican game is to thus force the democratic senators to vote for an adverse report on the amended resolution, because they know that every democrat re- gards federal supervision of elections as one of the greatest evils that could possibly befall the country. It is a dodge to fool the voters of the coun- try as to the attitude of senators of the two parties on the question of di- rect election of senators.

If thirty-tWo democrats had not raj lied to the support of the Cuban reel procity bill," says an exchange, ''the general debate thereon would not have closed to-day, and the passage of the bill without amendment would not now be assured. These democrats yio- lated no agreement i'll helping the re- publican leader out of their votes, together with the thirty-three republicans who voted against him would have knocked him out. They simply voted with their personal in- clinations. 1t was demonstrated at a conference of democrats that it would be difficult, if not impossible. to make the bill party issue. Consequently no attempt was made to do SO 1t must, however, be little galling to the re publican bosses of the house to know that with all the influence of the ad- ministration to help them pass q bill that had the endorsement of repuhli- can caucus they would have been ig- unanimously beaten if they had not been assisted by democrats.''

themselves, but because their sue be- comes a substitute for the cleanliness and sanitary precautions which are so essential to the healthfulness of the product" Attention is also called to the fact that unadulterated milk may be so watery as to be unfit for sale at standard prices. Exclusive of the adulterated samples the general quail ity of the milk was good, the average percentage of solids being 12.50 and of fat 40. The names and addresses of the milk dealers are given in the tables with the anyalsis of the samples bought of them. The practical effect of milk adulteration and it's detection in our cities, is shown by a single in stance. By the doctors advice there was sent to the station for analysis a sample of market milk, which was the food of an ailing infant less than q year old. This sample was found to have about 8 per cent of solids and 1.7 per cent of fat, and was thus shown to have been grossly watered. A change in the milk supply was prompt ly followed by the child's recovery.
Waterbury Democrat., 1902-04-23

The adulteration of foods is carried to such an extent at present that 1t is dangerous, and boards and commissions whose duty it is to examine these things have repeat edly warned people. In a recent report sent out by the agricultural station at New Haven the following was given out in regard to adulteration of milk: During last August agents visited twenty-eight towns and cities of the state and bought from delivery wagons 375 samples of milk as it was delivered to families. Thirty-one of these sam- pies, or over s per. cent, were certainly adulterated; nine of them by adding chemical conservatives, borax or for maldehyde, the rest by skimming or watering. 1.-The addition of borax or formaldehyde to milk is regarded by most physicians as a serious menace to the health, particularly of infants and inyalids, and cannot be too strong 1y condemned" It is not only dangerous because of the action of the drugs

LONG DEBATE BEGUN
Senate Opens on Philippine
 Government Bill.
HOUSE PASSES WEST POINT MEASURE
Appropriation For Improvements nt the Military Academy Cut-Con- ference on Chinese Exclusion
 Bill Results In Agreement.

WASHINGTON, April 23.- Formal discussion of the bill temporarily to provide a government for the Philip pine Islands was begun in the senate yesterday, MT. Rawlins (Utah), the leading minority member of the Phil ippine committee, opening the debate. He denounced the bill as an unwar- ranted imposition on the Filipinos, de claring that it would establish one of the foulest oligarchies in the history of the world. He maintained that the Philippine commission was given too great power by the bill and asserted that under its provisions the islands would be exploited for private gain. While he was speaking two efforts were made to maintain a quorum, the second resulting in a lively tilt among several senators, MT. Scott (W. Va.) in- timating that argument could not in fuence any senator.
 The house byavote of 75 to 72 rejected claims attached to the omnibus claims bill by the senate aggregatfng $1,SOO,- GOO, and on tEe heels of that action nonconcurred in the whole senate amendment- 0he various items having been ruled to constitute single amend menu and sent the bill to conference.
 The Military academy appropriation bill was passed after the limit of cost of the Improvements at West Point had been reduced from $6,500,0 900 to $5,500,- GOO and the amount of the appropria- ton in the bill from $3,G00,00o to $2,- 100000.
 The London dock charge bill was called up, but was not disposed of.
 The conferees on the Chinese ex- clusion bill have practically reached an agreement. The main features of the senate bill have been adopted, but there are some alterations.

Waterbury Democrat., 1902-04-23

A notable incident of the debate on the Cuban matter which preceded the amendment of the bill by the commit tee of the whole, was the presentation as an amendment, by MT Richardson, of the bill previously offered by Repre- sentative Babcock of Wisconsin, and which had for it's purpose the removal or revision of those sections of tse Dingley tariff act which serve to so greatly augment the profits of the steel trust. Although the house had just overruled the decision of the chair and had determined that the sugar amendment above referred to was :n order, and by the same reasoning must have considered the amendment of MT Richardson in order, it permitted Mir Sherman to reject it as not germane and so proved how thoroughly hollow and insincere have been republican protestations that they desired an op- portunity to curtail the profits of tic steel trust. The position taken by lne republican leaders, that the amending of the reciprocity bill will insure it's defeat in the senate, would imply that the republicans will offer serious af- front to the president in rejecting | policy he has so strongly advocated, but the country will withhold it's judg- ment until the senate has had an op- portunHy to demonstrate whether it's allegiance to the sugar trust outweighs its allegiance to the president, and it's regard for Cubans and American con- sumers.
