NO MUNICIPAL ICE YET.

N The ice season is here and yet there is no municipal ice except in the house at Shuttle Meadow, and that Is too far to walk. The common Icouncil,. however has empowered the 'committee to build a storage house.
 but it did not give the committee .any money, and the comptroller says that there Is only a small sum le1t out
 of the original appropriation, not enough to build the store house, and |when that is gone the committee will not be given any more funds. This |is a nice how-do-you-do with the mercury up near a hundred and no municipal ice.
 It appears that the council intended kkhat the committee should sell the 5ace and pay for the store house out .bf the receipts, while others seem to Ifeel that the city should provide the funds for the building and let the re- ceipts go into the treasury. It would not be impossible to pay the building bill out of the incidental fund, but |dt is understood that the council did not make any such provision and that |the pay must come out of the re- eeipts for the ice. The plan has not been working out very satisfactorily and the general impression is that the cost will be much greater in the end than has been figured on. The fwhsle problem, however, needs to be Rthreshed out very carefully so the lnext year.

BEATEN BY COMPARISON.

Some fanatics from Middletown in- sist on mentioning former Mayor Willard c. Fisher as the likely se- lection of the democratic state con- vention for governor. Willard Fisher of Middletown has about as much chance of getting that nomi nation as he has of being elected King of England-Bridgepo Tele- gram.
 Then we may as we'll dismiss MT. Fisher from the list of candidates for there Is no likelihood of him suc- ceeding King George, in fact we are the position if he got 1t. The edi- tor of the Telegram is we'll up with the big bugs in the democratic party and when he says that MT. Fisher Is as far from the democratic nomi- nation for governor as he is from occupancy of the British throne it is reasonable to assume that he speaks with a full knowledge of the thoughts and opinions of the aforesaid big bugs and his statement should be ac- cepted as Jeffersonian gospel.
 MT. Fisher has had a thorny path in politics, both in office and out, but he enjoys the distinguished honor of defeating his own party for mayor of Middletown, a performance which has never endeared him to the edi- tors of the Telegram and those of some other democratic journals in Connecticut. There has been dis position, however, in some directions to discuss the gentleman as a pos sibility, but the Telegram puts him away by comparison with another dis tinguished gentleman who could not be induced to exchange places with MT. Fisher even were he in the of flee now held by our esteemed fellow citizen, Simeon E. Baldwin. The time is gradually creeping upon us when the democracy will use it's. best in f1uence with the people in the inter est of the right candidate. New Britain could make a valuable sug- gestion, but 1t prefers to give Bridge port try at first. Any one else wish a try?

ANOTHER KICK.

The board of assessors of the town 'of Stamford has entered protest against the increase in its grand list lhy the state board of equalization.
 dhe latter is quoted as saying that the Ireason for the increase is that manu-
 ncturfng property is undervalued. gThe assessors have sent the board a pletter in which they argue the matter Idf assessment of factory property. It 'is the old story of adding to the grand Est of a town evidently upon the |srounds of suspicion The board has |heen looking up the capitalization of (the companies in: question and has &pcme to the conclusion that these cor gporations should pay more taxes and

 sk The Stamford assessors say that Amuch property in that city is selling #IOOaye TOT less LIldn us assessed value. NIf this is so, and the assessors ought &to know better than any one else, it sis quite pertinent to ask upon what
 basis the board of equalization has for

 Akay and there Is reason to believe
 khat there needs to be a change in

 More there can be anything done

WoRKHOUsE FOR APPLE
MARY"

There was a case in New York yes terday such as the late James A. IIerne had in mind when he wrote the play Shore Acres and pictured the woman who used to go out on the knoll on the Maine coast every day and watch for the return of her husband from the sea and when he newer came and she was about to die she asked her children to bury her there, so that if he ever did come back he would find her waiting for him.
 Mary Walsh came to New York then. She fell in love with an American sailor and they were to be married upon his return from cruise, but he never came and she learned that his ship had gone to the bottom of the sea. She gave up her work as a domestic and be-
 gan to sell apples along the river front at the Battery. She visited the
 piers, thinking that some news would
 be obtained of the one she sought,
 but she always returned to her home
 hours at the Battery wall watching
 the waves as they splashed against the
 rocks thinking that his body might
 be washed ashore and she would be
 there to meet 1t. She has done that
 for many years, always carrying the
 basket on her arm. As she grew
 dered how she managed to live. But
 she spent every day at the Battery
 selling her apples to all who would
 buy and watching the waves that never brought her any news. Mary is now S4 years old and feeble. She tottered up to @ policeman yester- day, told him that she was weak from lack of nourishment and no longer able to do business and asked to be locked up. She told the mag .strate in court that two months i'll the workhouse would help to build her up. He accommodated her and she is now absent from the Battery. She carried her basket to court and in it were a dozen red apples.
 Mary Walsh's case is not the only one of its kind and while some talk of the decline of the drama there is a wealth of material in many cities from which plays might be written and audiences entertained with stories of heart interest taken from real life. There ought to be some place where poor unfortunates such as Apple Mary" might be sent where they would be cared for with
 some degree of comfort and given a pillow upon which to rest their l weary head when the end comes.

No riots have thus far occurred in consequence of the passing of the Irish home rule bill, and the self-control shown on both sides is gratifying and hopeful. The nationalists have re- frained from demonstrations that would provoke the unionists, and the discipline of the Ulster volunteers has been remarkable. It can hardly be questioned that but for the organiza- tion and drill of the past year the passage of the bill would have been the signal for bloody street fighting in Belfast, such as marked the campaign Of 1SS6.-Springfield Republican.
