We would again remind the voters

We would again remind the voters of Waterbury that next Monday is election day. There seems to be con siderable inactivity in Waterbury over the vote on the new constitution. Per haps the electors have their minds al ready 'ssot'' and do not need any ad- vice how they are to vote. A week or two ago bunch of the pamphlets with the proposed constitution printed in full was left at the Democrat office for dis tribution and not over half a dozen have been taken out. It begins to look as though the Waterbury voters were going to let the thing go by default.

One of the most important measures to come before the lawmakers at Washington is the bill which provides for the transfer of the forest reserves from the care of the department of the interior to that of the department of agriculture This is an important measure, says a correspondent, 'as the bill which will place in the custody of the department of agriculture the for est reserves is of especial importance, as it means proper as against very in- different care of the reserves. At the present time the secretary of the in terior is hampered ill his efforts to properly administer the reserves by lack of funds to properly equip q dlyls- ion of forestry, and the necessity of trying to work in connection with the thoroughly equipped bureau of forestry of the department of agriculture. But the greatest obstacle to efficient work is the fact that the employees of the department, who are detailed to care for the forests, are not within the classified service, and, as a result, the secretary is obliged to sacrifice all con- sideration of faithful and efficient ser vice to political influence It is an ticipated that when the change is made the president will extend to this branch the protection of the civil service rules and so make for an intelligent and proper conservation of the forests.'

Senator Chauncey Depew, on sailing for Europe on Wednesday, said: 'Oh, you don't know what a relief it is to get away from this water-cure contro- versy" Al the republican leaders seem to feel that way about the scandals in the Philippines, but not all of them will be able to take such thorough course of the champagne cure as will the New Yerk senator during the ensuing three months.

A ROUND ROBIN.

It often happens, especially at sea, that men who have a grievance wish to present a petition for redress to those in authority over them, yet no man wishes to make his name promi- nent. So some one invented the fash ion of signing the names in circle in which it is impossible to tell which was written first. This peculiar peti- tion is called round robin, which is merely a corruption of the original French name rond ruban round rib, bom.

his whole flock Of sheep, numbering

new DEMOCRATIC LEADER
WASHINGTON PAPER DISCUSSES
LIMBS CHANCES.
Minority Growing Weary Of Richard
son Of Tennessee and His
Peanut Policy.

Washington, Nov. 12.-The Wash
ington Post today discusses Congress
man-elect Lind, saying:
THE likelihood that ex-governor
Lind of Minnesota may come forward
as a prominent democratic leader in
the next congress is being discussed
in some quarters. OF course, there
are too many democrats of several
terms of service to allow the north
star state luminary to bear off NOM
ination for speaker by the minority
which generally carries with it the
title of minority leader. However,
that is not an ironclad rule, and the
democratic nominee might nominal
ly be the minority leader, while the
real leader could be some other, who
dominates by the sheer force of his
individual powers. Governor Lind
has served several years in the house
and is not a stranger to the ways OF
legislation. He is good debater,
| and can hold his own in the rough and
tumble kind Of oratory which so Of
| ten prevails in the chamber.
'In vigorous champions of democ-
| racy on the floor the minority is sig
nally lacking. Should Governor Lind
show disposition to enter the arena
he would undoubtedly be welcomed
by very large contingent of his par
ty."
1t is thought here that the demo
Gratis want to get rid of Representa-
tive Richardson of Tennessee, whose
leadership during the last four years
has been generally unsatisfactory
Some members of the party have turn
ed to Representative George B. Nc
Clellan of New York, as the only man
who, during the last session of con
gress, had the courage to tell Richard
| son that he was sick and tired of his
| peanut policy. Mr.. Mcclellan has
the advantage of youth as well as ex
| perience.

SAFETY AND PEACE.
A Situation in the Philippines Never
Reached Under Spain.

Honolulu, Nov. 1, via San Francisco,
Nov. 1.-THE transport Sumner ar
rived here October 80, en- route to-
San Francisco. Vice-Governor Luke
Wright, who was on board, said:
"The islands now have civil govern
ment almost everywhere and the peO-
ple seem to be learning its advant-
ages. In the past year there has not
been a single defalcation and very
few thefts. The government is strict
ly one of civil service. There is e.
degree of safety and peace in the
Philippines now never reached under
the Spanish rule. The Spaniardsi
used to pay the brigands to keep the
peace and we have refused to con-
tinue this system. After the passage
of the Philippine bill last year we
established the insular constabulary
and we now have 5000 of these po-;
lice. We find that they are the best
men for the business and they have
cleared the provinces of lawbfeakers
with great activity. The service is
one that appeals to the natives.
"The future of the islands is a great
one, What is needed most is rail-
roads and these may be built soon by
American capital. A trunk line on
the island of Luzon is now under cons
sideration and its building would help
matters greatly"

KENTUCKY MAN MAKES SENSA.
TloNAL ALLEGATIONS.
OFFICERS ARE IN The PLOT
Judge and Sheriff conspire to Cause
the Death of an Attorney-lntend-
ed Victim Warned.

Lexington, KY, Nov. 12.-County
Judge James Hargis and Sheriff Ed
ward Callahan of Breathitt county,
are accused of ordering the assassina-
ton of J. B. Marcum, an attorney, in
an affidavit filed in Jackson, KY.
Moses Feltner, who was arrested
some time ago, on the charge OF MUIR
dering Jesse Fields, in the Hargis-
Cockrill feud, which within a year
has resulted in 80 men being slain, is
the author of the affidavit. He swears
he was the man ordered by Judge
Hargis and Sheriff Callahan to kill
Marcum, but that he warned the at
torney in advance of three different
times he was to be shot dead. Final.
ly both Feltner and Marcum fed to
escape being murdered.
Feltner says such "a state of lawless-
ness exists in Jackson that there is
no protection to any citizen, espec-
nally to any who are not in sympathy
with the county judge and sheriff.
He believes those officers have made
efforts to have him assassinated. Re-
garding Marcum, he says that last
May he was invited to Judge Hargis'
office, where he met John Smith and
John Abner, friends of the sheriff and
judge. They told him Marcum must
be killed and that he was the man
to do it. He feared to refuse, and by
appointment met Hargis, Callahan,
Abner and Smith that night. The
plan unfolded was for him to go to
Marcums house, get him to come to
his Office at night, and after parting
with him on the return trip at place
where shotgun was to be concealed
he should shoot Marcum in the back.
Feltner says Harris gave him $35
to pay Marcum $35 on account and
| handed him shotgun and shells load
ed with buckshot. He went to Mar
Gums house, warned him, and then
told them that Marcum would not
come out after dark.
The next plan was for him, Smith
and Tom White to hide near Mar
GUMS house and shoot him when he
emerged Again he warned Marcum,
and though the trio lay in ambush
Marcum did not appear. The next
| plan was for White to shoot Marcum
from Hargis Bros store, but Mar
cum carried his four-months-old baby
in his arms and White would not fire
Suspicion finally fell upon Feltne1
as having warned Marcum, and on
getting continuance Of his case in
court he followed Marcum in flight
He says he has returned to Jackson
but fears to leave his room; that his
attorney, Marcum, is also prisoner
in his own house through fear of as
sassination. He therefore asks 3
continuance of the case against him
Marcum also makes an affidavit
saying he fears to appear at the cour1
house or on the streets of Jackson.

CHOLERA IN MANILA.
Seven Soldiers of the Fifth Infantry
Die of Disease.

Manila, Nov. 12.-Cholera made it's
appearance yesterday among the men
of a detachment of the Fifth infantry,
which is stationed here. Seven men
have already died, and number Of
others are seriously ill. The detach-

that cholera had entirely disappeared
from Manila, and it's temperance
has created feelings of apprehension.
