Waterbury Democrat., 1902-09-30

E is very evident that the editor of the Hartford Times believes the coal strike is eingscontinued for the bene- fit of the republican party, and that it will be stopped at time when it will do the g. o. D. the most good. We quote from the Times: 'Election day in November comes on the 4th of that month. That time is thirty-six days distant Some time within that thirty six days the coal strike will come to an end. It was started with due refer, ence to the elections and it will not be protracted after the elections are oyer. When it is certain that no republican votes can be lost by protecting the mines and mine workers the state au- therities will wake up and show some vigor. This is indicated by dispatch from Harrisburg in to-day's Tribune: It is gradually dawning on the state authorities that the few men now on duty at the strike centers are inade- quate to cope with the situation, and
 it is said that the impatience now being shown in all parts of the state at the continuance of mob rule and the scarci- ty of coal will cause the calling out of the entire National Guard. Governor Stone himself is authority for the state ment that he will call out every man in the guard, if necessary, and spare no cost to suppress disorder. The start ing of the mines and the consequent disorder would be the excuse for order ing out the troops

Political candor compels the state ment that, all things considered, it is the strongest ticket the democrats have asked the people to support since Tom Waller swept the state twenty years ago.-Newi Haven Leader.
 Why, certainly; we told you so. And this is the year that the state is going to be swept again.

In the afternoon the children OF the
kindergarten gave matinee at which
there was fair sized attendance
This feature was under the direction
CT the Sisters of Mercy and was very
pretti!y executed.
The attendance in the evening was
good although not as large us on pre-
vious evenings, owing TO the fact
that there was no dancing.
The drawing OF the articles com.
menced about ten o'clock and resulted
as follows.

Entire satisfaction is expressed by
everyone interested. over the outcome
OF this fair, as it is the only one of
its kind ever held here.
The preceding fairs have alSa.
been held by all the societies in a
body, while this one is for the benefit
OF the Ladias Aid Society alone.
Thanks to the untiring efforts of
the ladies and all who were connected
in any way, the fair has proved one
of the most successful ever held.
The booths have been very well
patronized and have aided mater ally
in the success Of the fair. Those who
have been canvassing with books and
tickets have met with very good sue,
cess and the greater parb OF the books
were tiled Quite a good sum was
netted on the dancing which has been,
one Of the principal features through
out the week.
The exact receipts have not yet
been ascertained but will probably be
announced later

QUESTION

Editor Barre Evening TELEGRAM
The opinions that are being expressed
through your columns lately by tndivld-
ual citizens, and by the MerchAdts'
Association, in reference to our streets
and the administration OF the street
department is healthy sign and we
/ trust that public feeling will be a.
reused to such an extent that we may
look for much needed Improvement
I'm the sane | do not agree with the
|spirit that would place the entire
blame for the present condition OF the
|streets on the street Commissioners
|or the perintendent Of the Streets,
las under our present City Charter the
care is primarily ia the hands OF the
|Clty Council, and the street commis-
|sloners can practically do very little
without their approval, and the Super
9ntendent is practically under the Or
|oers Of the Commi ssioL ers.
In nay opinion the du'ies OF

Our charter to enable them to give

the various departments under their
care the necessary time and attention
that it requires for an efficient and
economical administration. l feel
that il our charter was amended by
constituting a board o. commissioners
to care for our streets, and that alone,
that we would get better results out
Of it than We do under our present
system. And, the same may be said
in reference to the water aepartme IT..
We have only to look at the good work
that has been accomplished by the
school commissioners in their depart.
ment to realize What might be accom-.
plished by the same system in both
our street and water departments.
They have only this one particular
branch of our City Government to at
tend to and by devoting their en-.
ergies to this one thing they have gi'
ven US school system that is a pride
to our city and credit to the State.
1t &C SITS some money to do it but the
citizens have always met all their de.
mands ungrudgingly, seeing the good
results that have been realized from
their previous work
We realize that the city has a very
large amount OF work before it to
place our streets In a satisfactory con
di,ion and a large amount of money
will have to be invested in the work,
but If beginning is once made and
the public can see the results that fol-
low from good roads, they will not
grudge the money required to do 1T. Z
Another thing that would recon-
mend some sucn system is the fact
that those Boards would always be
actively interesting large number
of our citizens IN the public service,
and the City would have at it's CON-
mand numerous citizens who could
devote reasonable amount of Their
time TO take a posi- ion on those
boards. wh) could not be induced to
give the time that is necessary to fill
acceptably the position Of member
of the city council with its many and
varied duties that is imposed on them
by cur present charter
The present time IS very oppor-
tune lime to consider this matter,
when we are going before the legisla-
ture for a revision, and l feel satisfied
that if the city adopted this meth' d
of administration of these important
departments the result would be
greatly to the citv's benefit.

were killed, They entered the state
of Minnesota in 1876 and committed
many depredations, being finally run
down and captured.
The three brothers were brought to
trial and on November 2l, 1875,
pleaded guilty to charge Of murder
In the first degree, this plea, it is,
said, having been entered to avoid the
infltction Of the death penalty. The
brothers were sen 'enced to serve life
sentences. Robert Younger died In
prison.
All efforts at securing an uncon.
ditional pardon having failed, . bill

life prisoners who had served :25 years
or more, and on July 10, 1901 upon
accommodation of the board of pris-
on commissioners, parole was grant,
ed TO Coleman and James Younger
and on July IA they were released.
Under the terms OF the parole, the
brothers we're not to leave tile state

engaged 10 business of various sorts.
James Younger has suffered much
from old wounds and several mon tbs

practically destroyed, the psper being
charred by the heat. The new vault
will have two brick walls with space
between. 1t is built on a solid foun.
dation OF stone and cement and will
be covered with railroad iron aud stone

Fighting Fred Funston.
Walla Walla Stafosmau

That Fred Funston is q reckless,
"harum scarum," daredevil fighter,
does not provo that he is great
statesman, and is therefore qualified
to instruct the American people on
questions of national policy. His de.
sire to hang everybody who disagrees
with him was probably acquired in
the Philippines, where such methods
appear to be in vogue in dealing with
the odd niggers," who are so foolish
as to believe that the Declaration of
Independence is any more than lot
of barren localities and glittering
generalities. One American officer is
on trial for ordering the shooting in
cold blood of eleven Filipino prisoners
for the heinous crime of concealing
some roots which they had dug to
save themselves from starvation. That
is the kind of imperialism that such
fellows as Funston would like to put
into practice in this " land of the free
and the home of the brave"
And it is such men as this who are
being exalted by Roosevelt ovor old
veteran officers who saw real fighting
in the civil war.

vigor. In discussing the race she said:
"Some of the men up here who are
