Waterbury Democrat., 1903-01-06

A statement comes from Illinois that is attracting considerable interest in congressional circles. It is that Rep resentative Hopkins is not as sure of representing, that state in the senate as has been supposed since the elec- tion of last Novmber. It is said that MT Hopkins's opposition to Speaker Sherman will prove his undoing and that some other candidate, of which there are several, will prove success ful. The story that MT Hopkins will fail is not received in Washington with great credence by the republi- cans although it is thought that he has acted with indiscretion, but the democrats say there are excellent chances for Hopkins's defeat and they would generally welcome that defeat as a break in the ring which now dom- mates Illinois politics.

rhero is much interest in political

There is much interest in political circles ill the presidents fight in be- half of q negro postmistress ill a southern city which rebels at having any but white person ill charge of the local postofflce. 1t seems that one Minnie NJ. Cox was appointed post mistress by President Harrison and re- appointed by President Mckinley. She recently resigned and her bonds men state that she did so because threatened with personul violence by a portion of the citizens who are de- termined to have a white postmaster. MT Roosevelt has now. ordered that the postofiice be abolished and remain so until citizens arc sufficiently pun ished and meekly submit to being served by tho negrcss whom he chooscsc to designate. ....

AGAINST FRANCHISE TAX.

Appellate Division of Supreme Court
 to Declare Law UnconstftutiOnaz.
 ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. Cit is said here that the third appellate division of the supreme court will during the day hand down decision declaring the franchise tax law passed by the legis- lature of 1899 unconstitutional so far as 1t relates to the state constitution The decision is one of the most impor~ tant, both to tho state and corporations ever given in this state. So far SIP, ,O00,- 900 in taxes is involved, the state by the decision practically losing that amount of money and the corporations gaining it, while at least S4,oO0, ,000 year in future revenues also is involved.
 The constitutionality of the franchise tax law was attacked by the interested corporations on two propositions, name ly:
 First.-That it violated the home rule provision of the state constitution in that i gave to the state board of tax commissioners the power to assess real estate for the purposes of local taxa tion, q power which is reposed in local boards of assessors.
 0econu-1naC It Vlolated rIse proV1- sion of the national constitution which holds inviolate contracts made between individuals, corporations or other cor porate bodies.
 It also was alleged that it violated the national constitution because cor poration, when granted the privilege to use streets and highways for the pur- pose of their corporate existence, en- tered into contract with the power vested by statute to grant them the franchises, which constituted a con- tract beyond the power of the legisla- ture or any public body to modify or to break.
 The litigation to test the constitu- tionality of the franchise tax law has been in progress for the past two years.

MODERN ASTRONOMY.

The leading problems of what moy pc called 'tcrrestial astronomy" are, at present, a more accurate deterrnIn- ation of tho earth's form and density ana or the Irregularities of ,tg rots - .loh' The former is not neal sctee. put Just now special importance st- taches to study of the slight "wab- ollng" Of earth's axis, and .ha strongly 'cted variations in Inc length of f lay. These phenou, srx lie at the cry boundary of possible observation. The greatest denarture or the pole from its mean position, since it's "wabble' was first detected. fourteen years ago, has been less than forty feet. 1t is studied only indirect " through the infinitesimal changes m the attitudes of certain observator- les. But the motion, slight as 1t Is, IS now beyond question, and the in vestigations of Dr Chandler have shown that, although apparently ex- tremely irregular, it Is, in the main, really governed by law, and amenablc to calculation. The theory, however, IS still imperfect, and i'll order to ob- tain the necessary data chain of as- tronomical stations encircling the earth has been established by differ ent governments. There are six of the stations, all on or near the parallel of 80 degrees 10 minutes, where con- Itinuous observations of the latitude are to be kept up for at least fourteen years. Charles A. Young, in the Jan- uary "Success.'

Triangular Senatorial Fight Has Re- gum I'm Earnest.

Triangular Senatorial Fight Has Re-
 gun I'm Earnest.
 DOVER, Del, Jan. 6.-The triangu- lar fight over the election of two Unit ed States senators from Delaware be- gan in earnest last night at the state capitol when the newly elected mem bers assembled to caucus for the or ganization of the two branches.
 The two Republican factions gave in to each other late at night, the Addicks assemblymen giving the regulars an equal share of the legislative offices and the first choice, which will be the president pro tenn. of the senate. The speaker of the house, next in line, will be an Addicks man. This compromise was effected only after prolonged re sistance on the part of the ten anti-Ad- dicks men, who all the afternoon and throughout the early evening had de clined to caucus with the. twenty-one union or Addicks Republicans.
 The Democrats caucused early and nominated Chauncey F. Holcomb of Newcastle for speaker of the house and Senator Charles Wright of Seaford for president pro tenn. of the senate. An advisory committee was also appointed to come to an agreement with the anti Addicks Republicans.

Another crop failure like that of 1901 would have been disastrous, says Banker Henry Clews. Instead, we have been favored with large crops and good prices, so that the farming sclasses are unusually well-to-do. Throughout the west there is great ac- tivity and astonishing development. This is demonstrated by the congest- ed condition of traffic on all the prin- cipal railroads, as we'll as by the fact that the freight moved on the Great Lakes in 1902 was about 25 per cent greater than in any previous year. Just how soon, tKes progressive move ment will exhaust itself cannot be foretold; but these activities are mar velous testimony of the vigorous growth of the country. There are in dications, however, that the pendu- lum has swung almost to it's limit, one being the speculation in real estate throughout the country. Experience shows that all great trade movements are followed by heavy investments in real estate after every other field has been eXplo@ed. There is no reason to believe otherwise that that the same rule will hold true again. Increasing importations must not be lost sight of as depression abroad encourages the shipment of products at prices that must sooner or later compete with our own. The present outlook, however, is for another good season, to be con- tinued at least until the next harvest, and that will be pivotal test flor good crops invariably insure good times, while partial failure, should it come this season, will certainly pre- cipitate reaction.

THE cHILDRENs COURT.


 The problem of the cities to-day is an environment of ignorance and of the physical and moral uncleanliness that are its natural concomitants. For these the children's court in New York city Is the first check on the path to criminality. It acts in loco parents at the time of greatest need. The corollary follows that the city which has slums needs a children's court to sift out the young offenders from the old and save them to the state. In the smaller cities there is, perhaps, no great need of such an institution; there the home element is strong and public responsibility for those unfortunates from whom proper responsibility has fallen away Is keen. But in the great centers of population, the children's court, ono may venture to predict. will soon be recognized as q necessity. Chicago has the pioneer tribunal of this kind, and nnbly it has proved it. self. Boston, Denver and Baltimore have followed Chics go's lead. al, witt, marked success. Philadelphia has es- tablished E court. but it's constitutional ity has been called in question, and de cis!on Is stiil pending.

SIGNS OF DEPLETED ENERGY.

If you are disposed to find fault. to grumble at everything about you; if little things irritate you; if trifies up set you; If you go to pieces, so to speak, when anything goes. wrong in your business, you may be pretty sure that there is some enemy at work in your system, that your energy Is. being ex- hausted in some way, and that your vitality is at low ebb.
 Look for the cause at once. Perhaps you have been smoking too many ci- garettes or cigars Few things ex- haust energy or lower vitality so rapfd- ly as excessive smoking. Perhaps vol, are burning both ends of your candle, sitting up late at night, going to parties or rheaters every evening. and trying TO Keep up with your work or your studies during the day. handicapped by loss of sleep and consequent dullness or inertia.
 If you feel irritable and out of sorts on getting up in the morning. and are olsIosed to be fractious and fretful all aay. ehere can be no doubt that there s something seriously wrong in your system. The bad effects may proceed from some mental disturbance. If nav DC worry O. excessive anxiety aboYt your business, your family affairs. or some other matter. Whatever the cause, you must find and remove if or allow 1t to wreck your life.
 You cannot work if the nervous svs- tenn Is shattered. If the nerve centers are systematically robbed of nourish- ment or demoralized by mental or physical dissipation, the whole ma chinery{ of the body and mind is thrown out of order.
 No defective machine can turn ont good work. and the longer one tries tn use 1t while some serious obstacle is cIogging the wheels the greater will he the damage it suffers, and the moro aifhcnt to put in proper repair.-Ori- cess.

DIsLoCATED HER SHOULDER.

Mrs Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus Falls, Minn, fell and dislocated her shoulder. She had surgeon get 1t back in place as soon as possible, but 1t was quite sore and pained her very much. Her son mentioned that he had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm ad- vertised for sprains and soreness, and she asked him to buy her a bottle of it, which he did. It quickly relieved her and enabled her to sleep, which she had not done for several days The son was so much pleased with the relief it gave his mother that he has since recommended it to many others.
