Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-01-27

The policy of the Hon Mir Williams. the democratic leader af the house of representatives at Washington is. to place administration democrats in a position where they dare not stand pat on the methods of administration which have obtained in the postoffice department, and in other branches Of the. government. His policy is along the lines of an aggressive democracy, and it will do more to unite the party and put it in fighting trim for the great campaign this year than anything that come to the assistance of the party at this time. said in this correspon- dence months ago that the democracy of the country was to be congratulated on the leadership Of the Hon John Sharp Williams, because knowing the man as did. knew what he would do when he assumed the reins Of this quasi official position. He has the brains, the self-poise the tact the ,ln- failing good nature, the high moral principle, the aggressiveness and the love of true democracy that admirably 1t him for an ideal legislator in the in terests of the people as against the classes and tne combinations Of pre- 'datory wealth. If tho people will Eus- tain him they will reap the reward.

At least one republican member of the house of representatives has good idea of the eternal fitness of things, and what is due to the taxpayers of the country in one respect, and he has taken pot-shot at a very lively abuse that has been growing at n rapid rate under the last two republican admin istrations, says a Washington cor. respondent, He is the Hon Charles R. Landis of Indiana, and he has aimed a resolution at the heads of the people here wha are in the government em- ploy and ride about in carriages at the expeaae of the people Of the country. If all the carriages and other vehicles owned and maintained by the govern ment for the private use of the em- ployes of the different departments were strung out in one line. they would stretch from the Capitolsto the White House along Pennsylvania avenue. Mir I.andis has seen this abuse, and he has had the manhood and the patriotism to hit at it, and it is to be hoped he will smash it.

!, Trade conditions are fairly satisfac- tory. says Banker Ciews. The cotln. try Is certainly feeling the, effects of last year's panic in Wall street. new constructive enterprises having been brought to a comparative standstill. head1usfment. however is making sure progress, lower prices for iron and wages are already encouraging a restoration of activity, and as soon as business conditions become more set tied the recovery will be more evident. It Is also satisfactory to note that the west and south continue prosperous owing to the good prices received by the farmer for his products. The . southern planter has sold nearly all his cotton and did not receive anything Ike present prices. which go chiefly to the speculator; nevertheless the south IS enjoying unusual prosperity, in which the whole country rejoices. and before very long the railroads of that section should reflect the results in in- creased traffic returns.

 Suddenly it ran into another trail of 8 very different character The latter had been made by rabbit, and the depres- sions in the snow were in groups of three, one small one behind, made by the fore paws coming down close to- gether and the two large ones, one on either side, in front, made by the hind feet, which are thrown outside and be- yopd the front feet when rabbit is going at any speed. Thereafter the two trails took the same direction, and often one of them covered the other. Over the rocks and between the trees they ran, toward pile of brush which had been left by the lumbermen. And here the rabbit tracks ended, and be- yond the brush pile, for leap or two. the tracks of the mink were bloody. The spaces between them were shorter, too. for here the animal had been trav- cling on full stomach.
 On my way home I saw the tracks Of red squirrel, which were similar uo the rabbits, but smaller, extending from tree to tree in straight lines, forming all manner of geometric fig- ures upon the ground Here and there, there was break in the line, showing where the squirrel had stopped to scratch for nuts hidden away in the fall, and in one place, a sprinkling Of dark particles on the snow indicated the branch on which the little nut hnI auta h fu
 Between two tiny holes, one under a stone wall and the other Beneath the roots of tree, ran two distinct trails, showing where, for some -pur- pose, a whits-footed mouse had gone and returned. These trails were fac simiIes of those of the red squirrel, excepting that the mouse, being so light, had not sunk deep enough, to obliterate the delicate outlines of its toes. Yes, there wss another differ ence. too. for here and there along the trails, between the footprints. there was . fine line, as though made with a pencil point. where the tail of the mouse had occasionally touched the snow. ... .-s. l s,.,

TOLD BY FOOTPRINTS
Stories the Wild Animals Leave
 Written in the Snow.
Tragedies and Comedies of the Woods That May Be Read by the Care-
 fuI Observer-The Tales ox s:5. One Morning. %4 -.

One morning there lay upon the ground some 3m inches of newiy-fallen snow, and went out early to see what my wild neighbors had been doing dur- ing the night. The first record saw had been made by some crows. which had been walking about in my nsighbor's barnyard. Zach footprint looked like the track of some pigmy snow -shoer, for the snow was too soft and too deep to show the individual toe marks. And | could see where each bird had stood at the moment he flew away for the i'm prints of his primary feathers showed where he had struck the snow with his wings at the first downward stroke. In the next field there was brook, and from 8 large hole near the bank, two musk rats had wandered to group of apple trees, though l could not discover that they had found anything to eat. The tracks of the rats were not we'll de- fined, they did not show the well-known, bisymmetrical trail, the footprints on either side separated by sharp line made by the tail. The little animals had plowed through the snow, leaving deep, irreguar furrows in the form of loops,
 
 the ends of which ran into the burrow near the bank. In a few places the musk rats had plowed through without dis turbing the surface, and at these points small tunnels had been made.
 Not far away the ice-bound brook joined an ice-bound lake, and to this came. Close to the bank, l came upon the trail of 8 mink, so followed that. It did not show the individual foot prints, which may be seen after a mink has walked on light snow, nor was it gutter, such as this animal makes when struggling on it's short legs through very deep snow, It con- sisted of succession of neat. squarish holes. occurring at regular intervals. and had been made by the mink while teaping along with arched back. its hind feet coming down close to it's front ones, all four feet having had share in the making of each hole. The trail followed the shore closely for perhaps quarter of a mile, deviating here and there, where the animal had stopped to sniff at n mouse burrow in the bank, and then it struck across the lake, in slightly wavy line. It led me up the opposite bank, through mar row strip of woodland, across a coun-

it is generally the custom Of the cor
poration counsel to draw up city
ordinances, but that the one to be
considered tonight is drawn by railroad
attorneys, not to regulate the scalpins
business, but to stop it.
Then he declares the council should
require the written declaration of the
railroad officials that they will supply
the rates talked of, pointing out that
in the past the railroads have swindled
the people of Spokane out of millions
of dollars on right-of way propositions
without giving single instance Of
reduced rates except after the famous
boycott.
Since then, AYERS Mr.. Winston. the
railroads have evaded the laws, failed
to pay taxes, purchased legislators and
done things awful, to the point where
it is evident that respectable and &C.
sponsible business men were buncoed
by shrewd agants, high salaried at
torneys and higher saaried lobbyists.
The paper ends with threat to car
ry the matter to the supreme court
on constitutional grounds and shows
that the brokers save to Spokane
people at least 500 day, and that
the city council is asked to take $780,
900 a year out of the pockets of the
city's travellers to give to the rail-
roads, besides confiscating the property
of honest, lawabiding taxpayers, who
are in business and live here.
All of which will be read to the
city councilmen tonight in opposition
to the anti-scalping bill.

RAILROADSARE
DISHONEST

When the city council meets as a
committee of the whole tonight to
consider the question of passing an
anti-scalpers' bill, at the request of
the railroads, the councilmen will be
regaled with dissertation on the
honest ticket brokers and the dis
honest railroads from the typewriting
machine of Lawyer Alex Winston,
which is calculated to take up whole
lot of room in the large enameled boxes
where the archives of the city are
kept.
Because Lawyer Alex is going after
the railroads with a Barney Oldfeld
speed which promises to carry him,
his essay on honesty among the rail-
way attorneys and officials, clear
through the supreme court of the
state.
The man with the golden sledge is
speaking in violet ribbon colors to-
night on behalf of his clients, A. Ottn-
gen and G.. Twitchell, who are the
ticket brokers affected by the pro-
posed legislation.
In the first place, the wielder of
the sledge offers on behalf of his
clients to furnish surety company
bond or $1,000 in cash, deposited in
the Traders bank that the two
brokers will not handle one solitary
ticket issued by the railroads for the
Interstate fair travel.
After taking the bubbles out of
the railroad bluff with this resoundng
puncture, Mr.. Winston points out that
