THE EIGHT HOUR DAY.

Although the French government has triumphed over its enemies in the recent elections. there is not an end to the agitation for an eight hour day. Strikes are still going on in the skilled trades in Paris and other parts of France to obtain this concession on the part of employer.
 It is coming to be generally recug- nized everywhere that the demand for an eiEht-h0ur day is not unreqs- olable. but what the employers who eoncedc the reas0Bableness of the de- mand ask. is that the men who are given the shorter day. do their best in return h the United States. Great Britain and Australia the vOrkingmaa would starve. It is the duty of the American workman whose task is made go much lizhtes. to give the best that is in him tS those who have conceded the reason ableness of his demands Short days of labor do not necessarily cause a decrease of industrial production and there certainly ought to be less dis position tO "seamp- the job in a1 eizht-h0ur day than when IL Is Wear- iIy drawn out to ten and eleven hours.

PRESIDENT TO A DEMOCRAT.
Says the Question of Politics Is of
 Mighty Small Importance,

Deweese, Neb., June S.-The mem- bers of a church near here are pre- pairing a bazaar to raise money to pay the church debt. Mrs James Newcomb wrote to Mrs Roosevelt, asking her to send a handkerchief, which could be sold at the bazaar In the letter Mrs Newcomb stated that both she and her husband were demo- crats. The following letter has been received:
 The White House. Washington. My Dear Mrs Newcomb:
 Your letter to Mrs Roosevelt in- terested both her and me so much that I write you just a line myself. ! am sending you a photograph. and I wish you all success in building the little church. What an interesting life you have had. and how fortu- nate We Americans are 10 have the chance to lead such lives. and. my dear Mrs Newcomb. it is of mighty small importance whether we arc republicans or democrats. but it is of very real importance that We should be good Americans and do our duty In straight and decent fashion.
 Sincerely yours,
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

THE SANcERFEST
Thousands of People and Thousands ol
 Dollars Coming Into Waterbury.

When the sun arises on Monday morning. June IS, for it surely will rise. with all the prayers of the Ger mans of the state appealing for just that one thing, Waterbury will be dressed in gala attire. Decorators are now figuring on the best and most appropriate designs and owners of buildings along the line of march are mapping out plans for the dress ings of these same buildings. All the business houses will present myriads of colors from rich drapings during the daytime and thousands of electric lights during the night hours. Visitors coming into the city will i'm agine they have wandered into a paradise. And there will be many visitors. Back to their old home are coming all the native sons and daugn- ters who are now sojourning in other cities and states. Into Waterbury by every train will rush the people from every corner of New England, all anxious to see just how we'll Water- bury can entertain.
 The committee of arrangements is becoming anxious about the closing of the factories on Tuesday, June 19, the big parade day. Many of the owners have already consented to close down, but there are good many others yet to be heard from. No German citizen wants to lose his position in any factory and yet every one of that nationality would be guilty almost of crime against that nationality If he refused to attend t.:c parade All other citizens wans to get out. too. to enjoy the grand celebration. The factories will be depleted in numbers. there is no doubt about that, and this is the first favor the Germans of Waterbury have ever requested of the owners of the manufacturing plants. Thou sands of dollars have been spent fy the committee of arrangements to make the two days celebration sue cess. Thousands upon thousands of dollars will be brought into the city by the visitors. The merchants will reap the reward and If the factories only shut down everybody will be happy. It is the first time in twenty years that Waterbury has had the chance to show what she could do in given one of these state sAngerfests, and If the manufacturers only help out the rest will be easy. Let Water bury have a German day in earnest and let all the people get out to en- joy it.

M. Rigney $500 for dispos- ing of the garbage of the city for the month of April. This course was talk en at the suggestion or MT Wells. who didn't care to run any chances. although the other members didn't think such a course necessary. The comptroller was requested to report the balance on hand in the sewer ap- propriation at the next meeting, so that the commissioners may know where to draw the line on sewer bills.
 The teachers payroll as approved by the board of education was read and adopted. It was as follows:

The canning factory whistle made
two of our business men lot of
trouble last week. 1t is the habit to
blow an eleven O'Clock whistle on
certain occasions to warn employees
to clean up the fruit in process of
canning and discontinue preparing
more. On the day in question Phil
Eisenkramer rushed madly home
fearing that his wife would have
dinner waiting, only to find the good
lady unprepared. II. L. MaNville,
whose wife was away from home
and who was being fed by kind
hearted young lady who knows that
Maxville is not able to cook for him
self, concluded that for once he was
forgotten. Accordingly he locked up
the store and proceeded to the task
of getting dinner. Just as he and
his son We're sitting down to the
meal the cook arrived to ask whether
she was fired. Maxville has not got
over feeling sheepish yet. There has
been talk of organizing n vigilance
committee the next time the whistle
blows out of time. By actual count
seventeen watches that We're in per-
feet order were handed into the
jewelers. for correction. oh! that
whistle raised Ned all right.
