Of the Alleghenies will agree with him.
The political Jove that hurls presi-

Delaware is on the Mp, though he
has shown a lamentable ignorance Of
geography so far. For long time he
could see nothing but Virginia; then he
got Ohio on the brain and may be suf-

hour. He never could see the Pacific
coast or the Rocky mountains. OF late
years he has been utterly blind to the
sunny half Of the country from Mis-
souri, to North Carolina and since the
war has refused to look at New Eng
land. With such narrow vision and
pigheaded character 1t is hardly proba-

NAPoLEON's vIoLETs.
How the Imperialistic Emblem Came
to Be Adopted.

How the Imperialistie Emblem Came
to Be Adopted.
An old French pamphlet published in
1915 tells how the violet came to be the
emblem of the Imperialist, or Napole>
onic, party in France
I Three days before going into exile on
the island of Elba Napoleon was walk
Ing up and down garden at Fontaine-
bleu, discussing his future with the
Due de Bassano and General Bertrand.
He was stills uncertain whether he
should go to Elba quietly at the bid
ding of his enemies or whether he
should try to offer some resistance.
The Due de Bassano was urging him to
strike a blow for his liberty-bad adj
vice surely.
AS the trio walked back and forth
they came upon a child three or four
years old who was picking violets.
Napoleon called the baby to him and
asked for his flowers, and the little
thing gave the emperor all he had. A
silence in the political talk followed
until Napoleon, who always had a vein
of superstition in bis reasonings, said:
81 swell, gentlemen, am thinking Of
that child. That chance meeting seems
to me like piece of secret advice,
warning me for the future to initiate
the modesty Of this flower. Yes, the
violet shall henceforward be the en-
Fblem of my desires" s
"Sire," said Bertrand boldly, ''for
your majesty's glory like to think
that feeling will last no longer in you
than the flowers that inspired it."
But the emperor, silent and unheed-
ing now, withdrew and went to his
private rooms. The next day he was
seen walking In the garden with a
bunch of violets in his buttonhole and
STOPPING now and again to pluck more
A man named Choudieu, a grenadier
OF the guard. was on sentry duty, and,
taking advantage oof the laxity iof dis
cipline that prevailed In this hour OF
ruin, he ventured to speak to the fallen
sovereign.

".Ah, well, tell them to feel, but not

Choudieu did not keep entirely secret
the story of his conference with his
majesty, but he threw veil over his
illusions and taught the other soldiers
to do so by calling their great and
worshiped leader Father Violet. Little
by little talk about Father Violet
reached the public, and to wear a
bunch Of violets' by the time the next
season came around was a recognized
sign Of imperialistic sympathies. To
this day yiolets are not worn In the
same general way in France that they
are here and in England, because they
are felt to be political badge. "A le-
gttimfst would not be seen with a
bunch in his buttonhole any more than
he would wear a republican tricolor

our children and their children will
probably pine for our virtues or imag-
ined virtues. If they knew the present
as we know it But never mind. Pos
sibly they will be right and we wrong.
We are too close to these days to note

Prospect may see and understand what

Judge Gray is Of the old school of
Democrats to which belonged the
Bayards, the TIdens and the Cleve-
lands. His courtly manners. his kind
~ and dignifed humor and his rigid
code Of honor are characteristic Of
yet earlier day. But his industry, his
keen sense Of justice, his American
ism. his grasp Of fundamentals and
his ability to apply them to present
day problems-these belong to all time.
At present there are 80 many kinds
Of Democrats that they cannot be re-
ferred to as a school, but as q univer-
sity. Yet the opposition has no occa-
sion to fly on the fence and emulate
the rooster. There are also several
kinds Of Republicans:
Rooseveltists. stand patters. old guard are
they.
But Republicans all on election day.

John D. Rockefeller or the city Of Waterbury? We'll, we think John is, but our city is more generous. For instance, our city will present to the railroad company "Cinder park" at cost of about $299 900 or more, and she must borrow the money to pay for it. Of course the city will own it, but it's for the bene- fit of the railroad. Well, we see py the newspapers that generous John found out that the people who owned the house he lived in when he was a boy owe a mortgage of $500 on it, so generous John" gave them one dollar to help them pay it. We'll John didu't have to borrow the long green he had it of his own, but his generosity must have been overcome by his heart; but the city officials hearts must have been overcome by their generosity Speaking of gener- osity reminds us of generous gift we have this week, and while they last each purchaser of pound Of Baking Powder, 45 cents per pound, can have one-half dozen fruit jars with it.

RIFLES RETURNED.
2,OOO Guns With Ruined Barrels
 Small Part Can Be Saved.


 About 2,000 stands of guns have been returned to the Springfield Ri- fie company's shops as defective. Government circles throughout the world have been praising the work done by the new rife which has re. gently proved its superiority over all other rifles, in competitive tests held in England. The barrels are unable to withstand the effect os the high explosives used and corro- sion follows in short time after the rifles are once used. It is said that some of them have not been fired more than 20 times. Ordnance officers believe that the only rem edy for the guns is to substitute a non-corrosive bullet for the present projectile.
 Of the guns which have been re- turned to the factory, only about 10 per cent can be repaired, so that they may be used in the service again. The new rife takes its chief points of excellence from the best European firearms and is modelled on somewhat the same lines as the French Mauser.
