THE FISH ESCAPED
And Messrs Peas1ey and Kelsey Can
 Attend the Primaries.

The regulars, so called, in the repub- hcan camp, came near being relieved Of two of their most formidable foes yesterday, Judge Peasley and his lieutenant, MT Kelsey, concluded to take a day off and hied themselves down to Stratford, where they secured a boat and went out fishing. They had not been long at sea when they discovered that they possessed more influence over the denizens of the deep than they do with the electors of the third and second wards, and as a re- suit they quickly filled their little craft with bluefish. When they had captured as many fish as they could handle conveniently they started for the shore, and on the way in Judge Peasley kept his line in the water in the hope of taking in just one more When nearing the wharf he felt some- thing tugging at the line and signalled Mir Kelsey to weigh to. Just before the boat could be brought to a stand still Judge Peasley, who chung to the line, was almost pulled out of the boat and were it not for the timely arrival of the second mate he would have gone overheard. The joker on the end of the line proved to be a monster white fish weighing several pounds and in an effort to land it the boat came within an ace of being over turned and the mess of bluefish set at liberty. In order to save themselves and protect what they were sure of they let go of the white fish and were mighty glad to get to land without d d1cking. When one of the regulars heard of the affair to-day he said that he shouldn't care to hear that they had lost their lives, but he would be very much pleased if the fish had hauled them out to sea and kept them there until after the republican pri- maries.

TRANSFERS INACTIVE.
Refuse Financial Aid as We'll as a
 Sympathetic Strike. ....

Chicago Aug 24.-The joint council of the Teamsters' union met last night to consider the advisability of grant ing further aid to the sympathetic strike upon which the stock yards teamsters entered some time ago with the idea of aiding the butchers who had gone out. The meeting was long, lasting until a late hour, and the ar guments were at times very heated. It was finally decided to take no action relative to the strike beyond what has been taken and an application made by the striking butchers for additional aid was passed over in silence.
 A motion that the packing house teamsters return to work was voted down and 1t was decided to allow mat ters to remain as they are, so far as the teamsters are concerned.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Local Democrats naKinS Up Tickets
 -.Iudae BrOnson's Position.

Referring to the political situa ton 1 a prominent New Haven man who spent few hours in Waterbury to- day told a Democrat reporter that the outlook for the success of the democrats in Connecticut is bright He believed that Judge Bronson of New Haven will be the candidate for governor and considered him the best candidate the party could put forward. "I'm not authorized to state," he added, that MT Bronson is candidate, but 1t is generally un- derstood that if the party gets togeth- CT and gives him a unanimous nomi- nation he will accept 1t. I expect 10 see this done and feel that it would tend to weld all clements in our party and bring out a tremendous vote not only for MT Bronson, but add strength to the whole ticket. We want him in New Haven and I'm not at all sur prised to learn that there is a great desire on the part of the republicans as we'll as democrats, too, in this town to see him in the race l SUD- pose you are aware that Judge Bron- son is native of Waterbury, and al- though he has not lived here in many years, still he loves to talk of his boyhood days in Waterbury, and those whom he knew here in the past. He has always been a democrat and believes now just as firmly as ever and probably more so in the pr1nct- ples of that great organization. It is true that republicans who put the best interests Of their country above party want to vote for Judge Bron- son but it is also true that the ma chine politicians who live by their wits and know that their occupations would be gone if their party should be reIegated to the rear, have no use for him and are using their influence to head him off.
 There will be a meeting of the dem- ocrats of the fourth ward this evening at democratic headquarters on Bank street. The meeting is for the pGr- pose of completing the ticket to be voted for at the primaries Friday. The committee is requested to be on hand without fail.
 Democrats in the different wards held meetings last night and talked over the political situation. Harmony was the word at the different sessions and if this counsel prevails until af- ter the elections there can be no doubt about the outcome. Republi- cans are disgusted with the conduct of their own party both in local and national affairs and if the democrats make the most of their opportunities and nominate good men they will re- ceive support from unexpected quar- ters.

THE EDUCATIONAL TRUST.

We are very much gratiied at the general public
approval of our editorial of last week on "a Pro-
posed Trust to Sidetrack Industrial Education
We are now convinced that this was only a sharp
political scheme and that the politicians who fav-
ored it would never have been able to push it to
success. 1t is interesting to note in passing that
the Charlotte Observer reports that not a single
member of the University faculty favors the
plan-and we believe this report is correct. At
any rate, the sentiment of the people indicates
that the scheme is too dead for resurrection, and
no more need be said about it-unless we repeat
that the idea was not fathered or supported by
the University authorities, who are content with
the excellent work they are now doing. Our belief
is that the scheme was purely political.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

Oh, my dear friends, you who are letting miser-
able misunderstanding run on from year to year;
you who are keeping wretched quarrels alive be-
cause you cannot quite make up your mind that
now is the day to sacrifice your pride and kill
them; you who are passing them sullenly upon
the street, not speaking to them out of some
silly spite, and yet knowing that it would fill you
with shame and remorse if you heard that one of
those men were dead tomorrow morning; you
who are letting your neighbor starve till you hear
that he is dying of starvation; or letting your
friends heart ache for a word of appreciation or
sympathy, which you mean to give some day-if
you could know, and see, and feel all of a sudden
that "the time is short,' how it would break the
spell! How you would go instantly and do the
thing which you might never have another chance
to do.-Phillips Brooks.

Golden Rod.

I know a field, a sunny field,
But not in sunny France;
And there is neither CLINT of shield
Nor CLEAN of pennoned lance;
Nor does the wind toss knightly plumes,
Nor silken tents unfold,
And yet in autumn it becomes
The Field of the Cloth of Gold.
For when the haze of summer days
Has melted from the skies,
And we, without reproof, may gaze
Up into heavens eyes,,
A host their plumes and banners shake
In joust with breezes bold,
And g~olden-rod's bright champions make
The Field of the Cloth of Gold.
The butterflies with blazoned wings
Are heralds for the fight,
And many a lovely lady filings
Her token to her knight,
And so, amid their gorgeous suite,
With pomp and wealth untold,
Summer and autumn royalty meet
On the Field of the Cloth of Gold.

The Season of the Harvest Moon.

The most attractive season of the year is about
here now-the few days that come before the
frost, when the rains have stopped and the air
is clear, sweet and pure, when the tobacco is ripen-
ing on the ground, and the chinquapin-burr is
opening; when the fresh woods invite our gcom-
pany to hooks and glens where soft breezes play
and the wild muscadine hangs in purple clusters.
And at night the harvest moon rolls in gorgeous
splendor through the heavens. This is the season
when one feels it good to be living. And what a
contrast it presents with that season a few days
later when the sad leaves are falling-and on the
dreamy landscape under the autumn sun sleeps
that "nameless pathos" in the air-that indie
sciably bitter sensation that made Tennyson
write:
clears, idle tears, I know not what they mean,
Tears from the depth of some divine despair,
Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes
In looking on the happy autumn fields,
And thinking of the days that are no more"
-Danbury Reporter.

well as possible for me to do. I would visit other
farms and see how work is done there; I would
read the Experiment Station bulletins; and, lastly.
I would study my work and talk it, and believe
in it. And then as my work develops and prospers,
I would increase my acres and enlarge my plant.
