Plaster of Paris.

For experimental purposes and where
but a. few castings Of medium and
light weight are required plaster of
paris has many good advantages as a
material for pattern making It is
light it can be given smooth surface,
1t Is easily given any required shape
and 1t can be added to indefinitely.
While it is brittle, this is more than
offset by the saving in first cost and
the quickness with which the pattern
may be prepared Plaster of paris sets
in from three to six minutes, but If for
any reason 1t is desired to keep the
mass plastic for longer period one
drop of glue to five gallon mixture
will keep 1t soft for a couple of hours.
Plaster of paris mixed with cold water
has an expansion of about one-six-
teenth of an inch to the foot when
hardening. Should this be undesirable
mix with warm or lime water, and
there is no expansion.-Machlnery.

AGAINST the Middle.

When Bill, the ranchman, came to
New York to play the races he put up
at one of the most expensive hotels in
the city and took one of the most ex-
pensive rooms. Then he went broke

clerk held private consultation.

cided, "but from now on we will feed
him liver and bacon until he pays his
bill Nothing does he get in this house
from now on but liver and bacon"
They fed Bill liver and bacon for
breakfast, dinner and supper for about
three weeks. Then his luck turned. He
forthwith walked out to a strange cafe
to get something to eat. He looked
over the bill of fare.
"What's this in the middle?" he ask
ed. Liver and bacon"
Eyes, sir" the waiter answered,
"Give me everything on the bill of
fare both ways from liver and bacon"

DEMOCRATS SHOULD RULE.

If the facts as above recited are
correct, and that they are literally,
absolutely and without equivocation
and varnish) we hereby assert, then
we find no difficulty in reaching the
conclusion that the people who
frankly admit their mistakes when
pointed out, and in good faith avoid
them in the future, are the safe peo-
pie to clothe with a public trust.
Republicans could not do better;
who believes they would do as we'll?
Doubtless they would like to dis
place the present clerk to the Board,
whose accounts are so plain, clean
and accurate that even a tyro could
understand his monthly trial balance;
doubtless the Times will in the future
attack our court officers as it did
the February and May grand juries
headed respectively by Ex-senator
Charles w. Michael and Mr.. George
E. Silver because its policy of crimi-
nation was not carried out by them,
but we respectfully ask if the people
of Hartford propose to stand for any
such treatment. The gauge OF
morality applicable to public ser
wants should be the same as we ap-
ply to private citizens. If we know
our people, they believe in a square
ceal whenever and wherever they
deal.

for after May I, 1906; to- that the
commissioners had no right to hold
county funds; (c) that their books
were in bad shape and that physical
infrmity had rendered their clerk in
capable of attending to his duties;
Id that the cost of maintaining the
poor at the county almshouse was
excessive.
Were these findings treated with
contempt or with consideration they
deserved? Let us see. (a) The
clerks irregularity was referred to
the grand jury and suit NOW pend
ing entered against his bond. He
was tried by a representative jury,
defended by the leading member of
our bar, himself a Republican, and
acquitted because the jury did not
believe that an actual defalcation
had occurred; (b) the cash in their
hands was promptly turned over to
the county treasurer, and their cash
account permanently closed; (c) their
mortally i'll clerk was retired and a
successor selected against whom not
even the Times can cast stone; (d)
the expensive dairy stock at the
almshouse was sold at public auction,
fertilizer and labor bills reduced, and
proper checks and balances thrown
around the purchase of supplies.
The result is that the farm has been
run at small cost this year and 15C
tons of prime hay worth SIS per ton
await marketing.
We do not hint that the Board has
not made mistakes or that it will
not do so in the future; it has been
nearly two thousand years since a
perfect being appeared on this earth,
and there is no human probability
that second one will ever be seen
in the commissioners office, but we
do say that the course of the Board
for the past twelve months in accept.
ing in the spirit in which it was given
the official criticism passed upon
them, and in carrying out promptly
completely and permanently all the
recommendations made, could not
have given a better exhibition ofthat
spirit and character which go to
make up safe. useful officials.
Who believes that a Republican
board would have done as we'll!
Would it be wise for Democrats to
give them chance to do worse?

With a desire for office sharpened
by long waiting, and a longing for
the key to the County Commits
sioners room sharpened by the
pictures painted by their party press
showing what it is worth to have a
hand on the county purse string,
Republicans are actively striving
to secure pledges of support in
November.
To the proposition that this is
business office and as such should be
run on business principles for the
benefit of business interests of the
county we yield unqualified assent,
and on this line submit the following
views.
The taxable basis of Hartford coun-
ty is in round numbers 100000
yielding for county purposes under
the levy of last April, $133,429.
There is no separate account kept
with the property of white and
colored taxpayers respectively under
the present assessment; but under
the old assessment land the ratio Of
white and colored property holders
has not materially changed) about
$132,35 of this amount will be paid
by the white taxpayers and 81 ,070by
colored taxpayers; that is, the white
man contributes $1237 for every
dollar contributed by the colored
man.
Of the 1900 Republican voters in
the county over 1900 are colored
and fewer than 800 are white to off
set the 2, 800 white Democratsin the
county. At the primary election
held last June 1886 of these $500
Democrats registered their choice for
the Democratic nominees, and GIL
of the 1000 Republicans, very large
proportion of whom were colored
voters of the most venal stripe,
nominated their ticket.
Thus it will be seen that about
twelve white men stand behind the
Democratic ticket for one white man
behind the Republican ticket. Do
these figures mean anything? If they
do, they mean that from the stand
point of property owned and white
men involved the Democratic party
is twelve times as strong as the Re-
publican party.
But how about trusting Democrats
with power? If the election had
taken place sixteen months ago it is
entirely possible that many voters
would have felt it their duty to
repudiate a party which had should
cred upon the people a startling
debt of $81 ,562.O7." Time has
given the people an opportunity in
an absolutely reliable way to ex-
anime into the county's condition
before they are called upon to pass
judgment at the polls. The work of
Expert Accountant Holt under the
supervision Of Messrs. A. H. Stras-
baugh and w. H. Harlan who at the
request of the commissioners, made
an exhaustive examination into the
county's affairs is fresh in the
memory of everyone; this report
showed (a) an apparent irregulari-
ty of the commissioners clerk
amounting to $1,655.O7 and that
they were SO, 1856 ahead of their
levy at the end of the year; that is,
that much money expended prior to
May 1, 1906 would have to be levied
