WEDNESDAY, MARCH Il, 1903.

If the people who are running the city of Waterbury wish to know what the country thinks of them they can find out by reading the newspapers. The opinions expressed are scarcely of a fattering nature Times.
 And yet the same thing that hap pened here is liable to happen in any city in the country. If it gets right start 1t is difficult to head it off. In Hartford the other day the crowd that collected to see the Missouri bandits gave cheer for Collins when he made his appearance. What would they do Tn case of trolley strike? In New Haven when the militia was called out to go to Waterbury the soldiers were hooted and jeered at, and one of them almost held up on his way to the train. What would they do in the Elm City if they had trolley strike on. Everyone has a remedy for all these things until it comes home to them, and then things look altogether different.

EDUCATION.

seWhat the children of this city real ly need. more than anything, is new line of fathers.
 .sIf the men of this city would do those things which they ought to do, and leave undone those things which they ought not to do, we could, in one generation, have a city more 1llustrlous than Athens in the age of Pericles. We employ more than twice as many bar tenders as teachers.
 Eff the men of this city had half the thirst for books that they have for beer. there would be marble library in every ward.
 'fThe Chinese have a great reverence for their fathers. 1t is said they sometimes worship their ancestors There is small prospect that the chill dren of this city will ever be carried away by this particular tenet of Con fucianism.
 '"The man who is too poor to give his children good education has no moral right to smoke or drink. s.The most remarkable episode that ever occurred in educational affairs in Wisconsin was the eviction of the Bible from the public schools.
 Imagine for moment that we had the power to summon the dead from the unseen world and should tonight bring into this room Moses and his ten commandments, King David with his incomparab ble Psalms, Job with his wonderful poem, Paul with his inestim- able letters, King Solomon with all his wisdom, and Jesus with the sermon on the mount.

 The average citizen will be very much inclined to agree with the New Haven Leader that the place for Secre- tary Thrasher's state police bill in US present form is in the waste basket.

 A lot of young women at Blue Rapids have organized club bearing the name ''Unclaimed Treasures. The constitution of the body recites that the members are bound together for the purpose of fostering the three great graces- es-Benevolence, Patriotism and Matrimony.'' The organization Is a bona fide one, though, of course there is more or less of a joke about its al legement of purposes.

STRONGEST JAIL ON EARTH.

The Graham county, jail at Clifton. Arizona, is unique. It comprises four large apartments hewn from the solid quartz rock of 8 hillside. The en- trance is through boxlike ,vestibule, built of heavy masonry and equipped with three sets of steel gates. The floor of the rock-bound jail is of ce- ment, and the prisoners are confined exclusively in the larger rooms. Some of the most desperate criminals on the southwest border have been confined in the Clifton jail, and so solid and heavy are the barriers to escape that no one there has ever attempted to break for freedom. The notorious tBlack Jack'' was there for months. The wall of quartz about the jail is fifteen feet thick. Clifton is one of the great cop per mining camps ill Arizona and has the reputation of being as depraved a community as yet exists on the frontier of civilization. In summer the mer- cury there frequently rises to 120 in the shade, and in the winter it never goes below 40 degrees. Philadelnhia Ledger.

opera company had to travel from Am- 'sterdam to Rotterdam. They travelled part way in cabs and other vehicles; then they got train part of the re- mainder of the way, but the engine driver struck when he got some dis tance on, and the singers had to walk the rails to complete their journey. A crowded house awaited them, but they had neither instruments nor costumes, so they gave 'Fidelio' in the clothes they had travelled in and the music was supplied by piano. Late on Sat urday night, the 31st, the railway com pany gave in to the men, and the strike ended"

Something unusual in the way of
 strikes has just occurred in Holland, y
 says a writer in Golfers Weekly. "It began through an engine driver on the
 Hollandsche railway refusing to shunt a train into premises where the work CTS were already on strike. He de clined to do what he called 'scab work 7 He was discharged, but his association supported him, and all the 17,O0O em- ployes of the two great railways in the country came out as one man. Such united action has never been seen ill Holland before. The decision to stop all trains was arrived at on Friday night, January 30, and on Saturday not a train was running. Curious results followed All the stations were closed and guarded by the military which had been hurried to the chief points, espe- cially to Amsterdam, where the strike originated. The malls were carried in motor cars which the minister respon- sible for that department had called into use from private owners. One trainload of passengers on the way to Germany was delayed at Amsterdam for six hours, and the unfortunate pas sengers were afraid to leave the train, lest it should go on without them. Hu: morous incidents were not lacking An

--- -----S---------- Novel Church Services.

Religious services held in absolute darkness are an experiment begun a few weeks ago in London. The pur- pose was not novelty or notoriety, but a desire to answer the objection raised by poorly dressed people against go- ing to any place where their shabby clothes made them feel uncomforta ble The experiment was made at St. James, in Clerkenwell. A large sheet was hung across the eastern end of the church, and upon this the words and music of the hymns, the prayers and responses were thrown by hme-light lantern
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-03-11

Rumors are afioat of a movement which is on foot to go into wholesale ooycotting in Waterbury. Those who are engineering this business should go carefully. The boycott is a terrible thing, and 1t may not only knock the men they are after out of business. but those with whom they pretend 10 be friendly. If this boycott paralyzes the business of Waterbury, as 1t surely will, sooner or later the laboring men are going ton1feel it. Our advice to these men is to go slow, lest perhaps you kill the goose that is laying the golden egg. The Democrat has a case in mind, and as it concerns this paper there Is no harm in telling 1t. One of our hustling newsboys had among his customers two or three trolleymen, the strike breakers. They paid the boy promptly forftlle paper, and the, little fellow thought all money looked alike to him. Pretty soon it began to be talked among his other customers that he was selling papers to non union men, and two or three of them stopped their paper. What is the result. It is plain to be seen. The Democrat loses. And thus 1t is in other cases. Unless great care is taken the boycott reacts in such way that it injures many times where it is not intended. Go carefully, gentlemen, in dealing with the boycott.
