 The Wells ticket in the third ward was completed last evening and everything is now ready for the bat tie at the primaries on Friday. 1t appears as though it is going to be a very even fight and it is difficult to get line on the winner.

Both sides are arousing plenty of enthus- iasm and there should be consider able hustling on Friday. ..

FOXY JOHN SEWELL
Wanls. ls.WaterviIIe Street Raised For Trolley al City's Expense.

I John Sewell thinks the grade oi Waterville street should be raised
 four feet higher at certain points
 than the engineers plans call for, SC
 that when the trolley coma aany wants
 to use that thoroughfare the grade
 will be just right for the company
 That sounds all right, but who is go- ing to pay the damages? A raise of four feet often entails a big hard ship upon abutting property owners and in all such cases the city has to foot the bill. Is the trolley company willing to be assessed to make up the difference? No, but it wants the work done to suit its purpose now so that the entire burden of expense will fall upon the taxpayers. This is in line with MT Sewells tactics since he came to Waterbury and it goes with out saying that he is not likely to depart from them. No wonder many not only in Waterbury but all over the state are wondering what his nomination means. Unless the cleo tors of Waterbury have lost interest in their homes and their families they will answer the question on election day in such way that all will know that while the people may like MT Sewell as a private man they are not rash enough to place him in the office of mayor. It is hard to think of Ralph Blakeslee and such men making speeches in favor of John Sewell for mayor of Water- bury. Ralph was a member of the city government when MT Sewell conducted his famous fight against the city regarding the cost of that $30.000 wall on the Watertown road. At that time, as we'll as now, MT Sewell knew what the trolley wanted, but he was beaten away after a stub- born fight and as consequence the trolley people instead of the taxpay- CTS had to go down into their jeans for the price of that wall.
 But Sewell made up for this later on when the business administration came into power. He extended the service into the south end of the city at an expense to the city of not less than $1OO,000. How much more trolley service can Waterbury afford to have at that price? Baldwin street cannot be worked to suitable grade for the amount mentioned and many say it will not fall far short of twice that. For this reason it would be well to pause before following MT Sewell's advice about the grade of WateryilIe street These are tha kind of trolley questions which should be uppermost in the peoples minds just now.

SAFETY BOARD MET
Policemen Ordered 10 Furnish
 Themselves Win Whistles.

l The suggestion, made some
 months ago by the board of safety to increase the pay of the firernsn
 was received favorably yesterday af.
 ternoon when the board met. The
 firemen have been working on thii project for almost year. The idea is
 to give the chief salary of $1, 800 to
 $2,000, his deputy $1,2O0 to. 1,400, captains $500 to SLIGO, all other members of the departments from $500 to $1.000, acording to tho | term of service. This matter must receive favorable action by the board of finance before 1t becomes a fact, and the proposition is to have it go into operation on January next. Tue entire board favored the motion, Seldom does meeting take place but there is a row between Commis-, sioners Minor and Andrews and pre- sumably to sustain their reputation in this respect they had one yester- day. It was over the committee on police regulations. Commissioner Andrews asked that the committee be discharged or make report and Commissioner Minor said neither would be done. And then they went at it. Finally, however, Commis- sioner Andrews's motion was put but 1t lost on the vote.
 It is dull meeting when Con- tractor Mackie is not given a slash or two over the firemen's drill tower. Commissioner Andrews moved that the contractor be fined s5 day for every day the tower remains un- finished after September 20. As a matter of fact the tower is practi- cally completed. All it needs is a few touches here and there, ani as another matter of fact it would have been finished long ago had there been any time limit stated in the contract. But there was not and therefore the contractor took it for granted that the board was in no hurry with the job. So he took his time. Had the board done months ago what it did yesterday, voted that the contractor pay a fine of $5 day for every day after a certain period the tower remained unfinished.
 It was voted to relegate to oblivion the present method of policemen calling for help, that is striking the sidewalk with their sticks, and to in- augurate the whistle. This is tha system in vogue in most all big cities. At night, when all is still,. the stick method is very we'll but n the clamor of a growing city tho sound of a stick in contact with the curb stone is not heard whereas the sound of whistle is. Each cop must furnish his own whistle.
 The board then adjourned.

JUDGE PARKER PROTESTS.
Calls Plan to Drop the Bartletts .
 Wicked Mcve.


 New York, Sept. 19.-In statement drawn forth by the controversy over fusion on nominees for judges of the court of appeals Alton B. Parker. who was once a member of that court, at- tackled the Murphy Corners alliance and advocated the selection of Judges E. T. and Willard Bartlett. In his statement Mir. Parker said:
 "The press of today contained an in- timation that Mir. Murphy and Mir. Corners have concluded to oppose the union of the two great parties for the purpose of continuing upon the court of appeals for the public good Judge Edward T. Bartlett and Judge Will lard Bartlett. sincerely hope 1t is not true. But if it Is, the duty of the hour is plain for those who regard an independent judiciary as of the high est public importance. During the en- tire history of the present court of ap- peals onl. one judge has been refus- ed a reelection without opposition. The Republican party denied to one judge this compliment that it might gain for its ticket the benefit of a great personal popularity of another. What a wretched political blunder it was the result showed. All similar at- tempts, whether immediately success full or not, will be political blunders. And this is SO because the party ap- pears on the wrong side of an impor- tant public question. An attempt to thrust aside an independent judge for some one in whom the party has hopes is to take the wrong side-aye, the wicked side"
