Derby, Aug "a very peculiar po-
sition of affairs exists among the
members of the democratic party in
Derby. Under a law passed at the
last legislature voter is compelled
to register as a member of his, party
before taking part in any caucus.
Alderman George p. Sullivan, eandi-
date for mayor, being aware aof the
fact that the registration was very
light, induced a sufficient number of
his friends to register, it is said, to
control the caucus, which practically
assures him the nomination.

A prominent socialist gave a Demo-
crat reporter sharp call to-day about
the new system of registration for the
primaries. Raising his hand above his
head and exclaiming with all the force
he could put into words he exclaimed:
You robbers. republicans and demo-
Gratis, are nearing the end of your
rope for the people won't stand it
much longer. I'm an elector and a
taxpayer in this town, but because I
wouldn't walk up to one of either
pafty's henchInen and make the
shameful admission that I intended to
vote a certain ticket I shall be de-
prived the right to have anything to
do regarding who'll represent men in
the aldermanic chamber, because a
nomination in the district live in on
the democratic ticket is equivalent to
an election. How much longer is this
going to last? What do you call this
but Acknowledgement It is nothing
short of taxation without representa-
ton. I receive my rate bill every year
just the same as If enjoyed rights in
common with democrats and republic
cans and if fail to step up to the
collector and settle I know what will
happen. I'm not the only elector who
has been shut out by this law and I
want to state right now that we are
fully alive to the imposition that is
being practiced upon u.s." Here the
speaker paused to catch his breath,
and the reporter took advantage of the
lull to get word in edgeways and
suggested that the socialist and his
friends drop into the democratic camp
and help wipe out the rascals that
were responsible for the obnoxious
legislative enactment. This made the
man madden than ever and he went at
it with renewed vehemence. He de-
clared that both republican and demo-
cratic camps smelled so foul that no
decent man could afford to be found
ming them with the same caution that
he stole past the smallpox houses a
few weeks ago. After a good deal of
back talk the reporter finally advised
the enraged citizen to call upon John
p. Kellogg, chairman of the republican
town committee, who had this law
! passed. and ask him what it all meant

Those republicans who handed in the

If our local reformers who think
the republicans should not have any
thing to do with the management OF
public affairs mean business they
should begin the work of reformation
at home instead of wasting their
strength striking at evils in the ma
tional government. the old saw says
it is a good plan to cut the rope next
the throat first, so that really every
man who believes in change should
join hands with the democrats and rid
the local field of every yestige of re-
publican misule and then keep moving
onwad until they dislodge the enemy
from control in the state and finally
route them at the national capitol.
1t is Mt an Indication of good general
ship to attack an opposing force at it's
strongest point.

The story of r.. O. Eaton's retirement
from the shrieyalty race has come to
town. 1t was current on the streets
to-day, and though it is somewhat late,
this is the first time 1t has appeared IN
print. Everybody is aware that Mi
Eaton is anything but silent mem
Der of the republican party. On the
contrary he is quite influential; there
fore when the story of his retirement
came out it was limited that there was
some very good reason for his doing so
behind it. The story is to the effect
that Mr. Eaton's campaign was in a
fiourishing state when one day he was
summoned to the offices of the Connec-
ticut Railway and Lighting Co in New
Haven. This gave Mr. Eaton consider
able food for speculation. He won
dered in what respect he could be In
terested in this concern, when it ought
to. be we'll known that had he any in
f1uence in railroad matters he always
sided with the Consolidated Railroad
Co. The more he thought about the
summons the more his wonder grew.
and finally he arrived at the offices of
the company. But he was not given
time for further speculation, for the
moment he entered he was told by men
in authority in the company. and who
were quite busy in the lobby during
the last Legislature, that he had better

said, in a tone as though a few hundred

American heavy freight engine of the
latest type almost invariably has four
pairs, but the English have not yet
gone that far.

Notwithstanding the now generally
acknowledged superior tractive power

American engines are occasionally to
be seen with only one pair of drivers.

Philadelphia and Atlantic City, for in

engine without trouble, since the road
is virtually without grades or curves
The coupling of the drivers was not
the only point in favor of the Yankee
engine away back in 1898. It's drivers
were so placed as to bear the greater
part of the machines weight, thus
holding down" the machine to its
work, while the drivers of the compet-
ing English machines bore little more
than a third Of its weight. Ten or fif-

Railroad authorities, being anxious to
increase the speed of their passenger
trains to match English railroad
speeds, which then led the world. threw
all practical American railroading ex-
perience to the winds. They built a
number OF locomotives possessing all
the defects of the English type and
none of it's excellences. First of all,
they fitted each engine with single pair
drivers, eight feet in diameter, quite as
large as the drivers of the fieetest
steam monsters Of to-day. The expert
mental engines ran "like creased light

trial of the first one light" reused
the most extravagant hopes for
"mile a minute" trains. With a load.
