Movement on the Part ef People fer a
Republican Government
SPREAD OF DEMOCRACY
UPrisings Come With Revolutionists
Well Organized and Financially
Strong, and Their Ranks Swelled
by Atutinous Chinese Troops-Cit-
les Captured and Many Killed.

A cablegram from Hankow, China,
says the revolution which has been
hanging over China for months past
and Of which the rising in the prov
lice Of Sze-C -Chuen was only a small
part has begun in earnest. 1t Is a
concerted movement to take the En-
pire and declare a Republic.
4he noted exiled revolutloEist, Dr.,
Sun Yat Sen, leader of the anti-Man-
chu party, if the plans do not mis-
carry, is to be elected President. He
vas the delegate Of the revolutionary
1arty to the United States, in 1910,s
and is believed during that tour to
have made arrangements for fnane-:
ing the movement.
Sun Ya, a brother Of Sun Yat Sen,;
who is now in Hankow, has been
elected President of the Provincial
Assembly. and Tang Hua Lung, the
retiring President Of the Assembly,
and a noted scholar, has been elected
Governor at Hu-Peh. The whole As
semb1y has seeded from the Imper-
ial Government.
The rebels are we'll organized and
financially strong. They have con-
fscated the local treasures and the
banks and are issuing their own pa
per money, redeeming the Govern
ments notes with this, as foreign
banks are refusing Governments
notes. The revolutionists have cap.
tured WI Chang, the native section
of Hankew, and Han-Yang and all
adjoining cities in Hu-Peh province.
Chang Sha, capital Of Human, Is
reported to have risen in revolt and
Marking, capital Of the province of
Kiang-Su, is on the verge Of rising;
several public buildings having been
destroyed.
Thousands of soldiers have joined
he mutiny in Hu-Peh. Many Man
hus have been killed and the terri
led people are fleeing from the cities
Rto the country, carrying their be-
'ongings.
The prisons have been opened and
criminals liberated. There has been
lighting in the streets, but rhe most
..tringent orders have been issued
hat the lives Of foreigners and their
property shall be respected.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

The people of Bridgeport have giv- en much attention to the subject of municipal ownership of public utili- ties. They want it. They are re- strained from getting it only by the reluctance of their agents in office. Municipal ownership of the water work is estopped by the refusal of the General Assembly to give the city a workable act. Mighty for five long years has been the lobby in Hart ford. Municipal ownership of the electric light works, to which all cit ies are enabled by statute, is tenn porarily estopped by the refusal of the aldermen to take the necessary first step required by jaw. There is every reason to suppose that this ac- tion was nasty, and that after they had time to think it over the alder men will right about face in the di- rection of public demand. The peo- pie want municipal ownership of gas, water and electric light. They want immediate ownership of electric light They are going to have it.

temporary, that the gentlemen to whose tender mercies it desires to consign the city had never been in politics, although it is notorious that their hirelings have been busy in sea son and out with the civic mechan- ism.
 If anybody really believes these gentlemen have been out of politics, let him read again of the activities of the Lobby at Hartford. Let him inquire who whispers in the ears of aldermen, before righteous measures are slaue ehtered. Let him.know whc causes men in office to defy their constituents, break the collective promise, and shame the party that elected them.
 Most misAlanagement in the city governments of America is traceabIe e to the interference of monopoly struggling for profits. The funda- mental reason underlying the de- mand for municipal ownership of public utilities is this:
 The people know that monopoly will own the government unless the government owns the monopolies.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Lace washed in skinned milk should not be rinsed in water, Dur should be ironed while still damp with the milk. for garnishing, touch the under side with white of egg. They will then stay in place.
 An old toothbrush or nailbrush is excellent for cleaning silver, but the final polishing should be done with chamois-skin.
 A few tiny pieces of lemon rind added to 8 cream sauce for oysters fish or lobster gives a decidedly pi- quant and tasty flavor.
 Washing soda should not be used upon china, as it will take off the gait. Try clear hot water, but not hot enough to crack the china.
 Ten stale macaroOns mixed With stiffly whipped cream and sprinkled with pistachio nuts, makes an easily improved dessert.
 Combs will soon warp and break if washed with water. They should be cleaned with good, stiff, dry tooth brush or nailbrush.
 A few drops of paraffine added to the shoe backing will impart a good polish to damp shoes, and also helps to preserve the leather.

 variety may be secured by bak- ing potatoes with a slice of bacon in side. The bacon is put into a hole made by an apple-corer.
 A French dainty possible from can ned foods is sliced French goose liver served on lettuce, with either French dressing or mayonnaise.
 When running dates, figs or raisins through the food-chopper, add few drops of lemon juice to prevent the fruit from clogging the chopper.
 If table silver is placed in hot sOapy suds immediately after being used, and dried with soft, clean cloth, much of the work of polishing will be saved.
 TO make a tough steak tender rub it on both sides with vinegar and olive oil, thoroughly mixed, and al- low it to stand for two hours, before cooking.
 A tasty salad is made of chopped celery, seasoned with chopped mint and mayonnaiSe. Put between slices of bread it makes a dainty supper sandwich.
 To revive root vegetables that have withered, slice off the end of each and lay in cold water. In a few hours they will be as hardy and healthy as ever.
 Always lower the temperature of the oven somewhat 15 or 20 minutes after a. roast has been placed In it. This will insure that the juices will be retained.
 Water may be used with the beaten white or beaten whole egg used for dipping croQNetfes. The proportion is

Ta. first ref erendum will be voted in this elec- ton, on issues proposing m ex- penditsre of almost q million of the copies money. Surely, here is a gain for progress
 The inst may be indefinitely ex- teaatd With minor accomplish lnents. Hut the table of perform ance is not equalled by any other mayor of Bridgeport.
 Now the construction of city charters in Connecticut, does not usually lend itself to a strong government, operating through the mayor. In Bridgeport especially, Sthe mayor has little power His authority over the Board of Apper- tionment is practically nothing. He has a veto over the acts of the Board of Aldermen, but it is overruled' by a majority vote. Ev- cry major public servant, with few exceptions, holds his office under the charter, takes his powers from the General Assembly, and may iQnOrn nxy6rridn . wishes of the mayor.
 Yet, in the midst of these diff culties, constantly beset by hostile elements. Mayor Buckingham has quietly piled up more useful con- structive work than any of his predecessors.
 He is paying the penalty of those who do not ''let things alone" Against him, through a hundred secret channels circulate the ibels of those who resent in- terference with their prbfits, with their injustice to the public, with their greed and longing for more profits. Searching in vain for a serious offense on the part of his administration, and finding none. they have decided to dub the may or weak" knowing that the peo- pie love fighter and hate molly coddles."
 They can't call him "crooked,' so they call him weak"
 The flaw in monopoly's littfe scheme is this ,the voters know that gas, water, electric light and railroads never hated a weak man yet.

PIriFUL CRIMINALS.

A wreck occurred on one of the branches of the New Haven road. It was the last of a series of wrecks,
 and there was a widespread dema nd for an explanation. When the, ex- tenuation came, it was most surpris- ing; nothing other than a claim that the rails had been torn up by train wreckers for the deliberate purpose of causing a catastrophe. A howl of laughter and indignation followed the announcement. Passengers on the train came forward to say the ex- planation was prepostsrous- Never sneiess nttle later TOUT men were arrested; Italians, speaking English indifferently, or not at all. They were arraigned upon charge of being the sculprits. Now the court has set them free, finding no evidence to sustain the charge. These men were

COOPERATIVE {, FUNERALS.

Why shouldn't Bridgeport have a mutual benefit funeral association, distributing the cost of decent burial over a large number of persons, so that the expense upon any family at any time will be light? Few cities nowadays but have something of the kind. Perhaps the now disunited as- sociations may someday amalagamate into a central organization which may build collins, hearses and the para p1ernalia of burial for its mem bers, extending the benefits of the Rochdale plan over new territory.

THE ADVERSE INTEREST.

If person bitten by yellow dog should bring suit for damages, the owner of the saffron canine would not be permitted to sit upon the jury. If Bridgeport had petty suit against a water. gas, electric or rail- road monopoly the case could not be heard by a judge who owned stock in the defendant corporation. much less by a judge who was an officer of such a corporation.
 Yet there are newspapers in this city, run by men to whom the AL mighty has given at least rudiment- ary intelligence, ludicrously pro- claiming the doctrine that nobody should complain because one of the great parties has been seized in this city, by a man whose primary in- terest is in monopolies that draw largely on the public purse, nor be- cause it is planned to inflict upon the people mayor who will be the choice of gas, water, electric light and railroads.
 One of them says that if the city can induce such men, meaning the managers of public service monopo- lies, ''to take up the responsibility uf any of the burdens of city govern ment" there might be an entire change in the management of city affairs.
 There would indeed be an entire change. The era of 20 year con tracts would return. Trolley service would slide backward. The day of six tickets for a quarter would be indefinitely postponed. The time of 80 cent gas would be long delayed Municipal ownership of electric light and water would be sandbag gged into a long sleep. The next delegation going from Bridgeport to Hartford would vote solid against workmen,s compensation, employers liability, di- rect primaries and all other Iegisla- tion calculated to reduce the wages of monopoly and increase the com- pensation of labor

 a tablespoonful for the white and twice as much for the whole egg. A dry shampoo of corn meal is very cleansing if properly done. The meal should not be allowed to get too close to the scalp, and should be brushed off with a gentle, lifting stroke.
 Brown bread, cut into thin slices and spread with strawberry jam or peach marmalade, and covered with a layer of cream cheese, makes novel and delicious luncheon sandwiches. Though steam heat is\ cleaner gen. eraly than a furnace, it will soil the curtains and walls much more, espe- cialy if the radiators are placed close to the paper or under the windows. If a few beans, either lima or string, have been left over, make them into salad, add a few chopped olives, a few capers and some Spanish red pep pers. French dressing is preferable to mayonnaise.
