Gen. Joe Wheeler is quite enthu-
siastic and wants us to send our Off
GERS over to study the English army.
We fear the generals judgment has
been slightly warped by the heroic
entertainment he has received on the
other side. The English army gave
us ample opportunity to study it dur
ing the recent affair in South Africa.
And, then, our forefathers had two
seasons of most practical study in
that particular branch and succeed
ed in graduating with the highest Of
honors.

Polar exploration is divided into
three sections. ~ The expedition
toward the pole; (2) dispatch Of the
relief expedition; (3) grand scold-
ing match of all the participants.
The accusations and recrimination of

crate to the acrimonious hurricane
that begins blowing as. soon as a
polar expedition gets thawed out
of the ice. One winter in the Arctic
regions seems to develop all the pos
abilities of selfishness and bitterness
there is in men.

vorce on the ground that her hus-
band wears the same shirt three
weeks and goes to bed with his socks

strong one in itself. AS to the socks

obliged to protect themselves against
cold feet. Sentiment and romance
take wings when the cold pedal is
worked on neighboring shins.

Movement to Have the Aldermen Act
 in the Matter.
 The aldermen are ill big demand these days and if people keep calling upon them they will have to establish regular office hours. In addition to visitors interested i'll trolley service and electric lights, there is a large number of people interested i'll cheap- CT gas and they are making systems atic canvass with a view to having the aldermen pass a resolution requesting the city attorney to appear before tha next session of the general assembly, and endeavor to have the legislators order Illuminating gas sold here for S1 a thousand feet. A man who ia pushing this matter said to-day that the trolley people control the gas and electricity manufactured in Water- bury and that on this account we ara paying more than market price for both. He said that the legislature regulates the price of gas and that he thought there would be no trouble in getting a reduction in rates provided the aldermen should petition for it. Everybody, he said, is kicking about the alleged high rate of taxation in Waterbury, but when you stop to cons sider that we are paying more for gas and electricity than our neighbors it seems strange that we hear little or nothing about the extortion. Nobody wants to pay the city anything, but everybody comes down cheerfully to the trolley company, t
 'sI have spoken to some of the alder- men about this matter and 1 think [ can count upon the support of those OF whom have called" He thought that there is not town in the country where private corporations have such a grip on the public as they have in Waterbury especially the trolley peo- pie. He said that if a big factory should ask for anything like the priv ilege the surface road gets gratis the people would laugh at them, and yet the trolley practically owns the streets and has not paid anything for thems lie thought that if the cost of gas and electricity should come down to where it is in other places like Waterbury rate payers and waref consumers would not feel the burden of taxation as irksome as they do under existing conditions.
