Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-09-26

At the convention to nominate a sue
cessor to Congressman Brandegee the
other day one of the delegates, in NOM
mating Edwin W. Higgins, spoke as
follows: HE is a member Of the Sec
ond Congregational church of this city,
man of exemplary habits, and re-
publican staunch and true, loyal to his
country, loyal to his party. loyal to his
church, and loyal to his fellowman."
For this speech the Hartford Times
criticizes Zebulon R. Robbins of Nor
WITCH, the man who made it, for bring
ing religion into politics. And yet We
imagine some people will rather praise
than condemn Mr. Robbins. No doubt
he thinks that the man who is a good
church member makes a good citizen
and law maker whom the people can
trust. 1t matters not whether he be a
Congregationalist or a Catholic, a
Methodist or an Episcopalian, the bet
ter member Of either denomination he
is the better citizen he makes. Instead
of being condemned for speaking as he
did Delegate Robbins should be COM
mended.

The news is being sent broadcast
to-day that the Third ward republi-
can club has endorsed the ticket
named Saturday night from r. y.
Blakeslee down to the last name on
the ticket. This is good news, of
course, ii must be, or the z. o. p. or
gans and orators would not be max
ing so much noise about it. How
ever, as that is the ward where
Mayor Elton's name was pasted forty
times or more at the republican pri-
maries, there may be something do
not always what one can swear by.
Those old war horses of the republi-
can party who have been sat upon
and spat upon, and told to go hence,
or anywhere else out of the way Of
the men that rule just now, may,
when the time comes, and they are
alone with their ballot in the three
by five Enclosure, use the pencil or
paster again. All Is not gold that
glitters, and this sudden outburst Of
enthusiasm from the third may be
only a blind. At any rate the demo-
cratic third ward aldermen might As
well be UP and doing and take ad-
vantage Of all these lows in the re-
publican household.

TUESDAY, SEPT %, 1908.

The secretary of war will find his
hands full when he returns to Wash
ington, says a Washington writer. He
will undoubtedly be called upon to
make an investigation of Panama af-
fairs, for the country has been food
ed of late with reports of the bad
conditions on the isthmus and, the
way the work is not getting done on
the canal. He will have TO organize
a campaign for Philippine free trade,
there will be a report to the president
on the Chinese boycott, action will be
necessary in the Taggart case which
has stirred up the army from end to
end. And above all there will be the
question of re-establishing the post
canteen in army garrisons. This Is
a subject that it will take a lot of
moral stamina to handle and it is
possible that the secretary will elect
to let it drop. But army officers as
rule say it ought to be done.

It Is called Bos Indicus by the natural
lists, and varies In size from q large
mastin dog to a full grown European
bull.
Apparently this interesting animal is
destined to prove useful in this ooun-
try through the introduction Of its
blood into our domestic cattle. For
long time past search has been made
for beast Of the bovine kind that was
immune 20 the destructive disease
called Texas fever. and It has been
ascertained that both the buffalo and
the zebu are not subject to the NAL
ady. The buffalo has been crossed
with our Gov, but seems to be less de-
sfrable than the zebu, which, when
mated with the COW. becomes the

The democratic mayors of Waterbury
were always held up and bound down
by republican boards of aldermen.
So when people talk about the giving
of franchises and the use of our
streets to corporations by democrats
they know not whereof they speak.
If there had been a democratic board
of aldermen at certain times during
the past ten or fifteen years the city
would now be getting from two to
! five per cent. of gross receipts from
the trolley company and we would
be having our streets sprinkled free
of charge and Systematically. We
would have many other advantages
and sources of revenue which are
not available at present The repub-
lican boards of aldermen that We
have had for several years have ia
ken many dollars away from the
taxpayers. They gave away much of
the peoples property and received
very little in return. Just take
glance at the condition of our streets
to-day, torn up from one end Of the
town to the other, and what are the
taxpayers making out of it? Look
back and think what the condition
of our streets were last winter when
it needed the upsetting of the team
and the narrow escape from injury Of
the distinguished father of our
mayor to bring the city fathers to
their senses in regard to keeping
public thoroughfares in passable con-
dition. At the present time the
people who pay for streets and street
improvements have much TO complain
of. Talk of what republicans have
done and are doing for the city is
ridiculous. The corporations are do
ing almost as they please with our
streets and it seems as though they
were hurrying the jobs this year,
taking advantage of the present re-
publican administrator leniency,
for they know the people will demand
a change very soon. That is, no
doubt, why apparently so much has
been done. If anything has been
done the people are the sufferers
from a financial, as well as a physical
standpoint,

Preferred Pain to Ether.

Herbert, the 14.year.old son OF Isaac
Hawkins, residing in Union district,
ran snag in his foot ten weeks ago.
He continued to suffer with it, indi.
eating that a part of the snag still
remained within. DR.. Cyrus Boyers
was called, who by poultices and
tweezers removed further portion,
but part had passed between the
bones OF the foot and could not be
removed except by surgical treat
ment, and to this the boy demurred
Growing still worse rs the weeks wore
on, the family brought him in on Mon
day for an operation. but at the set
time his nerve failed him, having q
horror of taking ether lest he might
never wake, and so was taken bach
home. Yesterday they got him per

as the hour drew near his courage
again departed al the thought, and
he refused, but was willing to under

operator was unwilling to risk, since
he knew the task before him. Feeling
that the foot must be relieved or lose
it, they got him in his private Office
and virtually compelled him TO taxi

in fear for a few moments, but wa
