Lilley at New Haven.

F'rom speech delivered by Con.
 gressman Lllley at New Haven last night)
 Now just few words about the lex, planatiOn" of the organized labor candidate for congress of his vote for the Consolidated road in the memora- ble fight of that company in 1901 against the people of northwestern Connecticut who had built small competing line.
 Many of us expected that Mir Dona. hue would justify his vote on the ground that some republicans did the same thing. But a democratic paper in Waterbury found more ingenious excuse. which 1t printed week ago and which he repeated on the plat. form on Tuesday night of this week. It is that the fight was between the Consolidated road on one side and the Vanderbilt-New York Central interests on the other. Every school. boy of reading age in Connecticut knows how utterly absurd this story is. There are several circumstances that prove its falsity.
 In the first place the fatal blow dealt to the little Connecticut West. ern threw 1t into receivers hands and 1t thereafter passed into the hands of the Consolidated road for a song. If the great Vanderbilt inter- ests had been back of this project, if they had yalned 1t so much that they would fight desperately fin the legis- laturc for it's rights. would they have allowed 1t to go Into bankruptcy and eventually pass to their rivals. when all bus 3O0 feet of its track had been laid: Would the people of north western Connecticut be paying today out of their taxes on the debt left them as legacy of the vote of Mir Donahue and others of his kind?
 In the second place. every school boy knows that Mir Donahue's sex planation" If this legislative contest is false and ridiculous. every man who keeps informed knows that Van derbilt capital never owned a foUt Of railroad In Connecticut. and ths only interest they ever had in any was their holdings of New Haven railroad stock. The newspaper from which Mir Donahue took this cuc invited the further ridicule of its readers by say. ing that the Central New England Is now a part of the New York Central system. when every holder of q rail road timetable can see that t is a branch of that system and every traveller can see that its rolling stock is labeled \. Y.. \. H. & H. R. K.
 Mir Donahue's second explanation is that he voted for the Cnnsoiidatei because he wanted it to withdraw its objection to a trolley line from Derby to New Haven. This is as untrue as the other is ridiculous. wss member of the rsIlroad committee of the house in that session There was no nes-l of Nr Donxhue trading his vote. as he said he dId. because long before the trolley mat ter could come to . vote the cousoii- dated had withdrawn all opposition and the report of the committee vas unanimous for the trolley ard the charter was sranfed by unanimous consent
 But note the delicious incousissency of this statesman, In explanation No i he says he was the chxmpion of the under dog becsu>e 1t nre<5e1 help aeainsf an adversary that uss trying to eat if up Ia expianaf5on No 2 be says he nede q dicker win H so ep< Ii1 favUf fcr his cUuD<jfueufa He sys sAat he vsted w1tA k sa p<isei-

Moving on the Installment PIan.
 An expressman who called at c Ninety second street boarding housa for two trunks was asked by the land. lady where they were going.
 T don't know" he said. You see, ! do only half the hauling. I will tahs the things to our office, and somebody else will take them the rest of the way. The boss at the desk will know the ad- dress. The moving Is done on the in. stallment plan to keep you folks hers from finding out wherf the other pse. pie went. They were afraid to trust me with the number for fear you might worm 1t out of me, 90 they told 1t to nobody but the manager. Lots of peo. pie who move often make tho trip h sections like that Half the time whsn I take trunk away from | boarding house don't know where 1t will wind up. That is generally done when thera has been row and the folks who leave don't want to be followed. Been llt. tie trouble here, imagine" be added tentatively.

WATER BILLS OUT.
And peouls Arc Again Crying About
 tho Iue0uality in Rates.

The water bills are now in the
 handy of consumers and as usual many are appalled, at the size of them and declaring that they will cut out the system altogether and sink wells. They won't do anything of the kind.
 Inside of fifteen days all these fault finders will have cooled down, the collector will have their good money and you won't hear a word about the price of water for another half year. This is why the inequality in the schedule of prices has been kept up for so many years and for the same reason is likely to go on indefinitely. About half the water is sold for less than cost and as q consequence the rest of 1t comes high. Large con- sumers get for half cent 100 gall Ions, but all others have to plank down three cents for the same quan- ttty. Once in a while somebody makes 8 vigorous protest, but he doesn't keep 1t up and if he does somebody calls him crank and if he doesn't get out of the way his friends pull him back and tell him to stop making laughing stock of him- self and his family. The town is full of reformers, but most of them de- vote their talents to discussion of the Philippine question and other things that have no appreciable ef- feet upon Waterbury The water question is beneath their notice and as a result few understand it, all though almost every man you meet will tell you that he knows it all
 It is the same thing on state and na- tional questions and no doubt this explains why you hear people who suffer most on account of vicious legislation yelling and shouting for the retention of ofiice of the men who are responsible for the misery.

 My recent statement that anything l have ever gotten from the Swift family l have had to light for and fight hard Is as true a statement as was ever uttered by any man.
 Also the statement that my entire interest in the provision business is confined to the city of Waterbury and surrounding towns and does not reach beyond Bristol on the east or Towantic on the west.
 ] give you these facts assuming that your paper is among that class that prefers the truth although your political statements the last few days do not indicate this.
 Schwartzchilds & Sulsberger, Arr mour 6 Co, and Swift & Co are pay ing a commission of h cent per pound respectively to Valentine Bohl, Pierpont Bros and Lilley, Swift & Go.
 When Valentine Bohl and Pier pont Bros started their business they had sufficient capital of their own and have, therefore, ever sincs en- joyed and retained for themselves the full commission.
 Being without capital myself yhen l came to Waterbury, I was cb'iged to put my hard work against Swlft.s money and have ever since been obliged to pay over to them two- thirds of the net profits of onr local business. So, that I have retained for my profit but one-sixth of 1 cent per pound as against three-sixths of l cent retained by Bohl and Pier pont, and this only after paying my share of all expenses of conducting this business and also my share ;. all bad debts.
 We are all of us just as nu a part of the beef trust"-ard no more-as Is the grocer. who sells kerosene oil and sugar, part of fha oil trust and sugar trust.

 ing leaders, having big dinners. putt ting in the newspapers the brand Of
 wine they drink, and then letting tho
 poor fellow on the corner do the
 cheering. That is their plan of cam-
 paign at present. and MT Sullivan
 wanted to know whether the people
 are going to vote for George .Lilley,
 the representative of the beef trust, or Charley Donahue, the machinist.
 The ,osI hak N1u &c as line fellow as ever cracked a
 bottle of wine and whose name is on the finest pieces of property in Wa terbury, "Lilley, Swift & Co.," that { he receives $5,000 year as con- gressman, and has now a fund of 1 S16,000 or $1S.000 for the purpose 1 of advertising himself.
 Of the fifty lawyers practicing in { Waterbury, not a dozen of them, 'tis | said, will cast their votes for the re- publican candidate for congressman at-large, George l.. Lilley. Those [ who will vote for him are mainly once holders and it would be moro than inconsistency on their part to | not vote for him. Business men who generally vote the republican ticket will not vote for him, at least that is what some of them have said, so that in general way it looks as if Mr Lilley will run farther behind his party ticket in Waterbury this year than he did two years ago. MT Lille ley would rather run behind fn any other city than Waterbury, for here his home is and here he is supposed to be known by all the people. and [ every vote therefore cast against him is prod at his pride. He has made more vigorous campaign than he ever did before in order that he may ( keep pace with the rest of his ticket. The amount of literature he has sent out through the mails has made thei letter carriers tired.
