Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-08-01

Ll1uGu LO Tuu TOT 6XdCLly ten minutes, and if by that time the speaker has not finished and the chairman has not reversed the action, bell strikes, at the sound of which the speaker, whoever he may be, must sit down. Itis a rule that might with advantage be introduced into other institutions. To be interrupted or called to order by member of ones audience-eve by ones chairman-is- not pleasant. But no one, no matter how touchy, can accept a pull up from an ire sponsible piece of dead mechanism other than good-humoredly.
 sBut what has all this to do with us, you say. AWell, I'm coming to it. The 18th of next month is to be field day with the Ishmaelites, and they have succeeded in nobbling the prince of Wales as their guest. And who do you think is to be the chair man? A gentleman who has. been honored with considerable amount of attention from the syndicate al- ready-no less parsonage than our friend Lord Cranthorpe. Gentlemen, wouldn't it be tempting Providence, who has, so to speak, delivered these two men into our hands, to let slip such an opportunity of retrieving the failure which attended our previous attempt on the life of Lord Crahthorpe and the royal family? The idea is not mine, but. our excellent friend Hub books; but I am bound to confess that if he succeeds, as he believes he can, in effecting the assassination of the prince and of Lord Cranthorpe at one stroke, he will have struck blow at the powers that be, the powers with which we are at enmity, that would immeasurably encourage the anarchist spirit which it is so much to our inter est to foster, and that will bring in the subscriptions as nothing else we have attempted lately has done"
 "How is it to be managed ?" asked; '.and who's to do it?"
 lubbock offers to take the sole re- sponsibility and the sole risk upon his own shoulders, was the answer ..He Knows that it has been rule of the syndicate that every new councillor shall qualify for the honor and com init himself irrevocably to the re- sponsibility attending place on the council by undertaking the first piece of risky work that is to be done after his election. is true that lubbock has already qualified by undertaking the task of securing the bag contain ing the money which was tossed out of the window the other day. He hopes and hope that the fact that he accomplished the difficult enterprise Q Yd %1 ,,.l1 safely and intact into the hands of the council has satisfied the councillor who at our last meeting raised the Ques- ton of Hubbock's honesty, beg par don, honor. But he is anxious still | further to prove his zeal by striking what l am bound to confess seems to me peculiarly daring and deadly blow at royalty and at the aristocracy We who constitute this council are paid to wage war against the upper classes and the capitalists, and if lubbock I succeeds, think 1t will go far to sat isfy our clients and subscribers that 7 we are giving them something for their money.
 Yes! yes!" interposed Councillor Number Six rather testify, being an 1 noyed, perhaps, at the reference which had been made to him. Ut seems to me there's too much jaw about these meetings. You don't need to explain l all these things to us over and over again as if we were pack of school boys. Ever since we lost our old chief, l you jump at any chance of featuring I us, same as some old women do who 1 want to hear their own voices. We l all know that to blow up the prince of I Wales and the other aristocratic per isher, Lord Cranthorpe, along with l him will set business moving in the l subscription line and we don't want to be told it all over again at every council meeting. The show aint a prayer-meeting The point is, can the things be done? If so, hoW?"
 Number Two took the Interruption ia better part than had expected.
 Very well. my friend" he said, od-humoredly, 1T don't want to in hict too many details upon you, I'm sure. Only as we all share the re- sponsibility as well as the profits, it seemed only right to me that council lors shall be fully acquainted with WAdL WdS UGluS OOu0 HI Lu0lT name. I When you know beforehand how the thing is to be done, you will be able to judge the better whether lubbock has acquitted himself capably and is deserving of further confidence and trust. I'm very sorry if I have over burdened you with detail. Shall I spare you all the details of lubbock s scheme? Tn that case we can merely empower him to act and let the de- tails make themselves known by re- sults."
 l. did not at all approve the turn that things had taken. It was only because had been appraised beforehand of the conspirators' line of action that I had on more than one occasion been suc- cessful in frustrating their projects. But if secrecy were maintained in re- I gard to their proposed operations, the game would be up as far l was con- cerned, for unless l knew what move they were about to make, should not
