forces to meet in St. Louis April 2, and I ap-
peal to every lover of liberty to get ready for
the fray.
Under said call Georgia is entitled to 40
delegates and all who believe in the grand
principles of the Omaha platform and the vital
issues expressed in our subsequent declarations
are invited to participate in the selection of
these delegates
Formal notice of a call for meeting in At
lanta for this purpose will be given later
Populism is fully indicated We have
nothing to be ashamed Of
Our contentious have proved absolutely cor
rect and need no defence.
The great contest of 1908 will determine in
great measure whether the American people
are capable Of self government.
If the present vicious financial system,
which is paralyzing business, concentrating the
wealth in a few hands and reducing the mass
es to poverty and ignorance, is allowed to con-
tlnue few more years, nothing short of
revolution will regain and maintain the liber-
ties bequeathed to us by the fathers.
For long time we have had in this country
two parties with but one head.
Did not Mr.. Gassaway Davis, one of the
nominees Of the last democratic convention,
make haste to tell Wall Street democrats that
the two platforms we're nearly IDENTICAL?
Now we are informed by dispatches in the
democratic dailies that Mr.. Taggart, chairman
of the national committee, says that Bryan
will be the democratic nominee and Taft the
republican nominee and that they will be NOM
mated on the same platform.
Then why two old party conventional And
if it is not to be mere sham fight for the
spoils of office?
Every intelligent man knows that the two
old parties are responsible for the present
unsatisfactory conditions upon us.
The corporate attorneys and members Of the
great trusts and corporations Of the country
are generally about half and half democrats
and republicans They, with the subsidized
and muzzled press, shape the policies of both
old parties.
If a conservative course suits them best,
they play conservative. If the radicals look
strong and the people clamor greatly for a
change, then they play radical till after the
election. Then, then, then, the people be-
damned.
Comrades, patriots, shun such dangerous
aignments. In the language Of the immortal
Groves, Hold your ballot sacred"
Uphold the hands Of those who are fighting
your battle.
Besides the reform press which is doing
such telling work, I appeal to you to get in

BROOKLYN BRIEFS

MT and Mrs Joseph Burke have returned from a vacation in Bridge port.
 James Malone of Bank street left this morning for Bridgepor, where he has secured position in the Locomobile factory.
 Brooklyn was visited last even. ing by persons who evidently found yesterday a dry day in this town; they cleaned up all the liquid re' freshment they could find on Third street last night or early this morn, ing. The thieves apparently stopped at every house on Third street and made off with all the milk in sight Bottles, cans and pitchers all looked alike to them for they took everything in sight. They did not drink the milk and leave the recep- ticles behind as is often done. Some families lost several quarts while others had only a pint taken. The thieves did the job we'll and milk was premium on the street this morning.

THE CITY COURT
Simous Fined slO and Another
 Case Goes Over.

John Simons, who runs a place on Bank street under Concordia hall, ran foul of Officer Charles Gallagher Saturday night for apparently no reason in the world. There had been disturbance in the place ac- cording to the officers story in the city court to-day and about midnight after things had quieted down Si> mons buckled into the officer. Gal lagher said he was never so abused in all his career before. Simons almost tore the coat off him and made it as lively as possible for him. Simons was fined $10 ana costs. He had no defense. Simons was also charged with violating the screen law and at the request Of Prosecuting Agent Hayes this case went over a day or two to give MT Hayes a chance to inquire into the matter.
 John Ruscucki for no apparent reason either, gave a fellow coun- tryman one in the left eye Saturday night. The man with the discolored optic seemed to consider It great joke for he was laughing while telling of the occurrence. Ruscucki was fined ST and costs.
 Michael Shugrue for intoxication was fined s5 and costs.
 James Jefferson. one armed ped- died of pencils and shoe laces was charged with intoxieation and va grancy. He was advised to leave town.
 Daniel Sullivan of New York was also charged with intoxication and vagrancy. He said he was looking for work, and has family of wife and three children in New York. He was given 30 days in jail.

DENTIST'SDRILLB BROKE
E. ". wooriDg Barely Escaped
 BaviDg Operation.

E. w. Mooring, the real estate man, had the experience of his life during the past week and as a re- suit he is at the Waterbury hospi- tai. One day during the past week MT Mooring was in the chair of one of the local dentlsts having his teeth treated. While the dentist was drilling the molars the drilf broke, and part of it went down MT Mooring's throat.
 He could not dislodge it so he was taken to the Waterbury hospi- tai where the X-rays were turned on his throat and the drill located. But the attending physician did not care to have an operation performed right away, as it seemed best to wait until the inflammation had dis appeared. The patient was allowed 10 food but simply absorbed ice wa ter through cheese cloth. ..
 Saturday while sucking the water from the ice he felt something in his mouth and put his hand in to bring out what he thought was a piece of ice. But it was not ice, it was that part of the drill which had been stuck in his throat. It had come up of its own accord.

THE BOBL PROPERTY
Special Committee Gives More
 Than Bureau of Assessment.

There Is a good deal of talk re- garding the difference of opinion be- tween the bureau of assessment and the special committee on the value of the Bohl property. In the ex- pression of opinions it has been stated that the offer of larger sum than that recommended by the bu- reau of assessment and approved by the aldermen is reflection upon the city government, but it is very diff ficult to see why this should be So now any more than ever before. The aldermen have repeatedly settled disputed claims by giving the plain tiffs considerably more than they had been awarded by the bureau of assessment and nobody ever intimat- ed that it was a reflection upon the officials then in office. Quite re- gently John Gilmour and others brought suit for damages arising from the widening of West Main street. and the aldermen settled the difference by giving the parties considerably more, even though the Oluii ludH ul lH6 UUdIu OI dlu6EIutH, Mir Filling, was a member of the bu- reau of assessment, and opposed making a change. Nobody knows what the aldermen will do in the premises, but supposing they should give MT Bohl $19,000,r the bureau of assessment will not have any req son to feel hurt over it. There is no truth, either, in the inference that the men are not large real es- tate owners. Between them they pay taxes on $65.000 or $75,000 worth of property and it is doubtful if this not more could be said of any other bureau of assessment that ever acted for Waterbury. The bu" reau of assessment put price on that land which in their Judgment was fair to the owner and fair to the public. They may or may not have got it just right, but in either case there is nothing to it for them to worry over, and if the aldermen change their minds and add to the former award it will not be an inno- vation, for such things, are quite common.
