SHALL WE BE FREE?,
Rev Thurston Brown Spoke at City
 Hall Last Evening.

Rev Thurston Brown Spoke at City
 Hall Last Evening.
 Shall We Be Free' was the sub- Ject of the lecture which the Rev Ihurston Brown of Rochester, N. Y, candidate for heutenant-governor of New York on the socialist ticket. de- Iyered at the City hall last night be- Tore fair. sized crowd. The speaker or the evening was introduced by Comrade J. Swan In beginning his lecture MT Brown said that his sub Ject might appear q strange one in q country known as the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave,o but such land has not as yet been dis covered. The speaker had something to say about the liberty bell and it's famous inscription. The bell. i'll his opinion, was not entitled to be called liberty then owing to it's inscription and never will be free until the in- dustrial conditions now prevailing are regulated and changed From his standpoint Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, Benjamin Franklin and those others whose signatures were attached to the Declaration of Inde- pendence were only hypocrites sSThGy knew that they were doing nothing that would make this land free country. For the working people, the wage earners, were slaves then as they are now, as they have been at all times, in all nations"
 TWo-thirds of the S0,0O0,0OO people l in this country, so the speaker said, were dependent upon the power of la Dor alone, and from this fact the speaker made the deduction that two thirds of the people are necessarily dependent upon the other third, who have practically the power of enslave- ment over them
 Al comparison between President and John Mitchell was then drawn by the speaker. He said that the presi- dent at the conference yesterday dis cussed the question not as affecting the operators and miners, but as af. fecting the people. MT Brown thought that MT Iitchells position in the mat ter was even brighter and nobler than l the presidents. Prince Henry was described as a parasite who never had done an honest days labor in his life MT Brown spoke interestingly on sev. eraI other things, such as the coal and beef trust and Philippine policy

FREE WOOD FOR CUTTING IT.
Eugene Peaugert of Cheshire Offers
 Wood for Those Who Want It.

Wood for Those Who Want It.
 Eugene Peaugert, proprietor of the Morse cider mills in Cheshire, was in town to-day and said some things with reference to the coal strike which showed that there are some whole souled men in the world still. He will give Waterbury people all the wood they want for nothing, provided they cut it and haul it away at their own expense. This is a good offer and if the worst comes many will be apt to take advantage of it. MT Peaugert is a lifelong democrat and hopes that the experiences the working people are passing through at this time will open their eyes and show them their duty to themselves and their families when they get the white slips of paper in their hands at the state election. He is farniliarly known as "Chip.'' and after hearing what he had to say on the question of coal and wood those about him could not help relnarEing that he was 2 chip of the old bloek.

THE SAuERKRAUT PEDDLER.
A Character Common to the German
Section of New York.

A Character Common to the German
Section Of New York.
The regular and popular visitor to
the German inns and tayerns of the
east side is the sauerkraut man. He
brings his calling with him from the
old country and finds more profitable
field in New York than in Berlin OF
Hamburg. His equipment is quite Gu
rious. He wears blue or white apron
running from his neck nearly to the
ankles, and from his shoulders is sus-
pended u circular metal box which
goes half around his waist. 1t has
three large compartments, two of
which are surrounded by hot water.
In one are we'll cooked frankfurter
sausages and in the other thoroughly
boiled sauerkraut. In the third COM
partment is potato salad. He carries in
his hand q basket in which are small
plates and steel forks. One sausage
and a generous spoonful Of sauerkraut
and potato salad cost 5 cents. All three
articles are of good quality, we'll
cooked and seasoned. He finds his best
customers in tho bowling alleys, where
the exertion demanded by the game
produces large appetites. Next to these
are the taverns which do not supply
food with their drink. Last Of all are
the halls and meeting rooms where
different societies assemble. His night
ly stock consists Of fifty sausages, sew
en- pounds Of sauerkraut and as much
more of salad. On bad evenings he
takes only half as much stock as on
fair ones. Some of the more fortunate
peddlers have arrangements with clubs
which pay them very fair profit upon
their goods. Others are free lances
who visit every place where they think
they can effect sale.
The metal boxes are very ingenious
and are made in Germany. The metal
is some variety of pewter, and the
fitting Of the compartments and of the
entire affair to the body is very ac-
curate. The covers are so we'll hinged
and snug at the edges that when the
owner falls down he is no 'lble to
spill any Of the contents. e con-
trivance costs some So in Germany,
and about S. in New York. A few Of
the peddlers appeal to educated pal
ates and carry with them cervelat,

sausages usually bring 10 cents instead
Of the regulation 5.

HIGHLY MORAL COUNTRY.
A Section of America Where Honesty
and Truth Are in General
Evidence.

Simple honesty is one of the striking
characteristics of the people of New
foundland-that piety and hon
esty which accompany an austere re-
ligion. Doors are not locked; property
lies exposed everywhere, no watch is
kept ON the fish when they lie drying
on the fakes. No man takes advan-
tage Of his neighbor, no man quarrels
with his brother, no man appeals to
the law, nobody is arrested, says Aims
lees Magazine.
"If you leave these lying here" said
the writer to man of Birchy Bay,
pointing to magnificent set of caribou
ant!ers, "you'il lose them. These can
be sold, you know"
"An' who'd take them, sure?" said
Jonathan.
"Well / might"
"But that would be stealing" he ex-
claimed.
'But you would never know that
was the thief"
Suppose" said he, cunningly, that
l went round asking people if they
took 'un. Suppose l comes t. you an
says: Did you take 'un?' What could
you do? I'd have you then, sure"
"0h, that's simple. I'd say no."
ooh" he cried in horror, "but that
would be lie!"

WANT A WHITE AUSTRALIA.
Plan Adopted in Queensland for the
Deportation of POIyne-
SLAMS.

The movement to make a white"
Australia is not receiving such gem
eral approval as the Chinese exclu-
sion has in this country, but it is
none the less certain that yellow and
brown labor must go from England's
colony. The bill now being discussed
in the commonwealth parliament
permits the introduction into Queens
land (the stare most affected by the
measure, for it is there that sugar is
grown during 1902 of rs per cent. of
the number of islanders (Polyne-
sians) who return to their homes
during the present year. In 1903
only so per cent may return, and by
1906 there will be none in the col
ony, for by that year all will have
been sent back to their island homes,
whether or not they hold property
or can pass the education test, says
the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser.
The chief opponents of the meas
ure are the sugar planters and man
ufacturers, who say the white labor
in the cane fields is much more ex-
pensive and much less effective, and
they promise the extinction of a
growing industry on which great
sums of money have already been
spent if it becomes necessary to rely
solely on expensive and incompetent
labor, Premier Barton's idea, how
ever, is that by a system of import
duties and bounties the sugar indus
try may be so protected that the loss
of cheap and efficient labor will not
harm If

The -Four Trnck News.

There is much of education and enlight-
eminent in the dainty little monthly maya
zine, "The Four-Track News" which comes
to US from the editorial workshops of the
passenger department of the New York
Central & Hudson River Railroad Company.
Its pages are filled with interesting matter
regarding travel, our expanding commerce,
and the development of our transportation
facilities. The January number is devoted
largely to California, the idea of the editor
being to give special attention each month
to that portion of the world to which people
are at the time travelling. The leading ar
ticle on this subject is "The Land of the
Sunset Sea" written by Luther L. Holden.
Other interesting features are Egypt Then
and Now" by George Fade; "The Ro.
nance of Reality" by Jane W. Guthrie; a
sketch of Hudson, New York, by H. R.
Bryan, and much that is entertaining in
verse and well-edited departments. There
are also valuable contributions on the cul-
tivation of prunes, olives, grain and sugar
heets. 80 cents per year, cents per copy.

dressed to George H. Daniels, General Pas.
