nominated that they intended to Keep it up until after the battle. 1t is evi- dent that upon second thought they realized that they had better not say too much until after the democrats had got together, nominated their cand1- dates and adopted their platform. The outrageous price of everything that en- ters into the cost of living at the pres ent time is causing republicans some uneasiness and it is hoped that the democrats will not overlook the fact that the people of Connecticut are anx- ious to hear what they will have to say on this all important question. It looked like a mockery the other day when MT Lil1ey was quoted as refer ring to the "unbounded prosperity the people enjoy at this time while coal is almost an unknown commodity in the market at any price, meat so high that the laboring man is beginning to feel that he might as well make up his mind to get along without it on his table. Ask the man of a family who is working for $1.50 a day what he thinks of the conditions that confront him to-day and see if he doesn't tell you that he does not know where he is at. It is fact that times never were better for those who are at the top of the heap, but the man at the bottom is being showed tighter against the wall, and unless we have a change pretty soon he will have to grin and bear it. If he dares enter protest some judge will be appealed to and an injunction will be issued restraining him from opening his mouth, as some one said with reference to the Gager mandate. The democrats should give some attention to these questions. They are of vital importance to every citizen, and if the democrats open the way and the people fail to take adyan- tage of the opportunity to rid them selves of the laws they are now chafing under, they cannot say that the remedy was not put within reach.

FOR TENDER FEET.
Physician Recommends Abandonment
 of Black Hose.

Physician Recommends Abandpnment
 of Black Hose.
 In a fashionable uptown cafe this morning gentleman in homespun and patent leather Oxfords appeared un- happy.
 "What is the matter with youw asked a friend. You appear ill.,
 q have bad attack of feet, and each summer Pm worse
 What's feetY
 Something that puts rheumatism out of business" explained the young man. T buy spider-Web open-work black lisle hose, costing $1 a pair, wear low shoes, use faithfully all sorts of foot powders and lotions, but obtain only temporary relief. My feet burn and swell so much that walking is a torture and life a burden
 "There are so many people like you" :" remarked the third man, a well known Washington physician, "that anything which will tend to alleviate their suf- fering ought to be received as public benefit You and the thousands like you may be relieved and without medi- cine.
 First, abandon black hose. Cotton and lisle thread black hose, it matters not how thing, delicate or open, bind the feet and cause them to burn and swell, the black dye exerting a pecul- jar combination with the hard thread lisle which is simply ruin to tender feet. Substitute thin unbleached bal briggan. The relief is almost instan- taneous. You can buy hose with all white feet, or half white feet, called splits or, if you feel inclined, you can take your all-White or balbriggan hose to the dyer and have them died at the tops to suit your taste, but the all balbriggan is better.
 Men who have tender feet think that the thinner they can get their lisle thread hose the more relief they will experience, but this is an error, as the feet will burn like a furnace even in black open work lisIe gauge While black is the fashionable color you can afford to discard your low shoes and wear thin balbriggan with nigh shoes if you have not the courage 10 sacrifice style for comfort.
 Ladies can attain the same result 1T they will cut the white feet off hose or that color and sew them to the tops or the fashionable black hose which are worn. When you hear man say that Pc has spent hundreds of dollars on his feet and obtained no relief tell nm what have told pou, and he will get reasonably well for nothing. All new cotton undergarments, including hose, should first be washed before worn. The manufacturers sizing is washed out, and they feel much more comfortable
 Feet is a complaint which is real ly serious to the patient and by none other appreciated. To obtain more than temporary relief the black hose must go on the part of those thus af. hieted. '-W Washington Star

IERIDEN OPERA HOUSE.
Theatrical Manager Flynn Considering
 the Question.

the Question.
 Joseph J. Flynn, the we'll known the atrical manager, is considering the idea of purchasing the Jacques opera house in this city. He was in town Saturday afternoon and stated that an offer had been made to him and that he was thinking it over. MT Flynn is one or the best known theatrical men in New England. He has theaters in Boston and Lowell, Mass, and besides has a large vaudeville circuit of summer parks, of which Meriden was mem Der this past season. He said Saturday that he rather liked the appearance of things here and people who talked with him were led to suppose that he and MT Jacques would come to an agree ment before long. Jean Jacques has had the Meriden theater about a year now and has made a number of i'm provements. He has given Meriden some fine attractions in the past and has booking list for the coming sea son, as already published in the Jour nal, that is as good as any house in a city of this size in New England. MT Jacques could not be seen to-day and so his side of the transaction could not be learned -Meriden Journal
 A Democrat reporter asked MT Jacques in regard to the above story this morning. He said that MT Flynn had asked him to name the price for which he would sell his theater in Mer- iden. He had named his price, and that'ssall that had been done so far. With a wink of his eye he remarked that he would sell anything he has if he got his price for it. In all prc5abil. ity MT Jacques will be in Meriden for a number of years yet.
