WATERBURY AFTER THE FIRE.
Syracuse Post-Standard.

The pluck and energy of the Ameri- can even in times of adversity are proverbial. Defeated, he turns around and tries again. When Galveston was wrecked with a flood from the sea she first took care of the sufferers and then set about rebuilding. The spirit displayed at Galveston has been shown in many other places under as trying circumstances, and it is being shown now at Waterbury, Conn.
 Three acres of Waterbury's business center was burned on Sunday night, and about two scores of business build ings were ruined, not to mention a 1 large number of fine dwellings.
 Before the fire Waterbury was high ly prosperous, and this very prosperity now makes the situation the more complicated. Tn all Waterbury not a single vacant block is to be found in which any firm rendered homeless can find even temporary accommodation Mayor Kilduff has already received many applications for permission to erect temporary structures to serve un- til more substantial buildings can be put up, for there is not the slightest intimation that everyone of those blackened ruins will not be promptly cleared away and in their place will be new and even larger blocks than be fore.
 Numerous offers of assistance have been forwarded to Mayor Kilduff, but they have all been declined with the assurance that while they are fully ap- preciated they are not needed. Water bury is an example of rapid growth
 among American cities. Tn 1880 tho l place was little city of 17,000 inhab- itants; ten years later it had grown to 26,O00 and in 1900 had nearly 46,00( population.
 This rapid growth has made the 1 Waterbury business men who suffered from Sundays fire exceedingly wide
 awake and progressive. Only a few hours after they had been burned out of home and stock several merchants
 wired for new supplies of goods witt which to resume business. Nowhere
 was there a disposition to s1ay down, 7
 or give way under the aff1iction which
 had been laid on with such heavy 1 hand.
 l Next to the spirit of unconquerable 1 determination not to be defeated is the I evident disposition on the part of the l fortunate to aid the unfortunate This 1 spirit was displayed by the Waterbury ] Democrat. which made it possible fol l tho American and the Republican tC publish as usual.
 Waterbury has suffered a staggering blow. but there is no other sentiment
 there now than the determination tc
 rise triumphant out of the ruins. It is l typical of tho American Sniri+

The excessive fear inspired by the attack of Representative Babcock upon that portion of the Dingley tar if bill which serves to augment the immense profits of the steel trust, seems to have paralyzed the ways and means committee and that body is afraid to report any measIre granting reciprocity to Cuba because of MT Babcock's announced intention to move the amendment of the bill to secure a modicum of tariff reform. While the ways and means commit tee is dominated by the extreme pro- tectionist view such is not true of the entire house and arepublican member who would not permit me"to use his name, said yesterday 1.-The situation is most distressing to the more pro- gressiye republicans. They appreci- ate the truth of Senator Platt's state ment that protection is likely to suf- fer most in the house of it's friends, and they realize that, if the demo crats have the foresight to drop their anti expansion theories and go before the country on straighttariff reform platform they will make serious in- roads in our ranks. Our only hope is that the democratic propensity to blunder will lead them to adopt anti expansion as their slogan rather than tariff reform The speaker was an astute western republican who may be counted upon to know the situation in his own section, at least.

GUS poster metropolitan dailies Of the

GUS poster metropolitan dailiese of the day.
 The present output of worlds greatest novels'' and "epoch-maklng plays" and the avidity with which they are devoured by an undiscrimin- ating public, points the moral that there are other intemperances than those of eating and drinking. It is just as possible to debauch the brain as the body.
 The English sparrow has still fur ther crimes to answer for. A large flock of them, driven to desperation by hunger on account of the heavy snow that covered all their sources of food, attacked farmer at Pitts Hol- low, N. r.. knocking his hat off and infiicting painful wounds in his bald head with their sharp bills.
 The controversy is still on as to whether the United States "is" or "are" John W. Foster, the eminent diplomat, once wrote a book on this subject alone, and he found that the question arose in the time of Jeffer- son. The consensus of opinion in the present day holds that the United States ''is'' the finest country on earth.
 Many persons have wondered why, in spite of this country's boasted su- periority, none of the Nobel prizes were awarded here. We are said to be too materialistic. running to prac- tical inventions rather than to basic principles. The Carnegie institute, giving opportunity for original re- search without consideration of the mercantile end, may remedy this de feet ill the American character.

This unexampled prosperity, of which we have heard so much lately, has one very serious charge to answer for. That is the increase in the en- ployment of child labor, in some states as great as 39 per cent. When we think of all that this statement implies it is hardly less than a horror, and prosperity built on such a foundation carries the seeds of it's own fastruc. ton.

The matter of feed is of tremendous importance to the farmer. Wrong feeding is loss. Right feeding is profit.
 The up-to-date farmer knows what to feed his COWS to get the most milk, his pigs to get the most pork, his hens to get the most eggs. Science.
 But how about the children? Are they fed according to science, a bone food if bones are soft and undeveloped, a flesh and muscle food if they are thin and weak and a blood food f there is anemia?
 Scott's Emulsion is a mixed food; the Cod Liver Oil in it makes flesh, blood and muscle, the Lime and Soda make bone and brain. It is the standard scientific food for delicate children.

Only
 One Key That Fits

We haze found that nearlyall the general medicines that are popular seek first to promote appetite and help digestion, then to apply needed elements which almost all ailing people require.
 Probably iron is the most im- portant of these needed elements, yet it is very hard to give iron so it will do any good.
 There are thousands of keys in the world = only one or two un- lock your door. So we know of only one or two combinations of iron that seem to do the work.
 By far the most generally useful prescription we know of is Vinol. We mention this by name, because we know what 1t is made of, how it is made, and how wonderfully helpful it has been in numerous cases in this very town.
 Vinol contains the medicinal qualities of cod liver oil, iron-that- can-be-digested, and little table wine. It is pleasant to take, and we have so much faith in it that we will sell a bottle to anyone suffering from loss of appetite, a rundown condition, tendency to colds, or to weak women and pale children, etc., and cheerfully give you the money back if it does not help you.
