POLLOCKITUS.

Editor Pollock, in his wild attempts
of last week to hopelessly divide the
Republican party, might have added
to his other general ISLANDERS that Gov.
LaFollette served six years as con-
gresham from this district, his last
term expiring at the same time Sena-
tor Spooners first term did and that
his services there we're SO d1stasteful to
the people that he was overwhelmingly
defeated in the fall of 1890 by Hon. A.
r. Bushnell. 1t was over eight years
before the people again entrusted La
Toilette with office, and Senator
Spooner was returned at the first OPP
portunity the Republican party had
Let us see, Hon. r. M. Day of Mt.
Hope was in the assembly and Hon. E.
I. Kidd, then of Millville, was in the
state senate in 1885 when Spooner was
first elected to the u. S. senate. Does
Editor Pollock mean to say that they
were two of ''the feudal serfs of cor
rupt capital" who we're purchased to
vote for Spooner? Mr.. Day is still
alive and can speak for himself. The
aspersion on Mr.. Kidd is an insult to
his memory, and must remain so since
his lips are closed in death. Mr.. Day
is still strong Spooner man. The
HSerfs" must have done a lasting job
in his case.
1t has gone into history that Gov.
Fairchild stood sponsor for Senator
Spooner at his first election to the
senate. and that the real ''serfs" who
we're more responsible than any others
for his election were ex-GOv. Fairchlld
and Gov Rusk, who was then in office.
The first suggestion of Spooner for the
senate came from the lips OF Gov
Fairchild. He stood as close to Spoon
err as Gen. Bryant does to LaFollette
We had always supposed that 1t was
the Bennett law issue that brought
about the Democratic landslide OF
1890 1892. 1t may have been aided by
the revolt against the Mckinley bill
which Immediately followed its enact
ment. Pollock thinks the Democrats
owe that victory to Spooner, although
LaFollette was one of the trainers OF
the Mckinley bill and and close
friend of Gov Hoard's, who was the
champion of the Bennett law.
From the Pollock editorial we gather:
1st, Pollock is against the public
plumber corporations.
End, Senator Spooner is the friend
and tool of the same corporations.
3rd, Pollock has no thought Of inter
ference with SpOoner.
4th, Spooner made so poor senator
at his first term that it turned the
entire ne ton over to the Democrats
in 1892, when Cleveland was elected.
9Th, Pollock wants Democratic
victory, by division of the Republican
party if possible, otherwise he is will
ling to wait for it until further public
lie services of John G. Spooner shall
render it certain. In his mind.

WATERBURY, CONN.,, BURNED

Waterbury. Conn, Feb. 4.-The most
disastrous fire in the history OF wa
terbury has occurred. A large sectlon
of the business part of the city was
wiped out. Shortly after midnight the
! fire, which had seemed to be nearly
under control, broke out with renewed
energy. A conservative estimate
places the loss at $4,000, 600. A special
train with fire engine from New Ha
ven went to the scene.
The manner in which the flames
leaped from one building to another
and even across the street termed the
spectators. for it seemed that no earth
| ly power could check them. Several
times it looked as if the firemen hau
finally confined the blaze to certain
district, but each time a cry OF ais
appointment and warning went UP
from the thousands of threats and the
fire was seen to be breaking out else
where.
The fire originated in the upholstery
department of the third floor OF the
store of the Reid d Hughes Drygoods
company, at 10S-112 Bank street. The
origin is not known. The fire was not
discovered until it had gained tremen-
dous Roadway.
The fire started in a drizzling rain.
with rapidly rising wind and with
with a rapidly rising wind and with
snow. The wind was at first shifting,
but it settled toward the east and car
ried destruction with it.
In the panic caused by the fire there
were many rumors of accidents and
fatalities, but at the Waterbury hospi-
tai at 1 o'clock it was said that no
accidents or deaths had been reported
there.
At that hour the fire was still burn
ing, though, as viewed from the hos
pital, which is on an eminence COM
manding the city, it appeared that its
vigor was abating.
1t is reported that numerous thieves
were operating in houses where they
found the owners absent.
In the first district thousand CT peo-
pie packed the flooded streets. Many
Of them fell on the icy pavement
and many were injured by being tram
pied on by the surging crowds.
Stores, houses and churches outside
Of the fire district were thrown open
for the reception of the HOUSEHOLD
goods and valued stock hurriedly
taken from the imperiled buildings.

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreets report on trade las
week:
The future may be said of last weeE
to have profited at the expense of the
present In other words, current wealth
er conditions. such as heavy snowfalls
east, west and north, tend to check
buying except of purely seasonable
goods at retail and to limit slightly the
volume OF demand in wholesale lines
On the other hand, the covering of the
entire northern half of the country
with blanket of snow has bettered
the condition of the winter sown crops
and the outlook for spring trade, as a
whole, has therefore been greatly i'm
proved. No diminition in confidence
in large spring business is reported
Among the metals the feature
has been the marked change in the
copper situation, several sharp upward
movements occurring, with the close
l 5-Sc higher than the lowest publish
ed price and &c higher than the lowest
rumored sales.
Considerable irregularity is noted in
prices OF cereals, hog products and
cotton.
Wheat (including fiour) exports for
the week aggregate 3,7O2,368 bushels,
as against 1888, 679 bushels last week
and 100000 bushels in this week last

Wheat exports from July 1, 1901, to
date, 81 weeks, aggregate 165, 346. $50
bushels, as against 114,77S,372 bushels
last season.
Wool is in steady demand and firm,
with stocks of desirable goods we'll re
