THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1879,
GIVING THEMSELVES AWAY.

HERE has been futile attempt upon the part
Of politicians to lull the voting public 10 a
belief that there is no wet and dry issue before
hit people insthe coming elections. How untrue
this Isl made startllngly plain in the bitter fight
now being waged by the shipping interests against
the ruling OF the Department of Justice, and the
International Complications that are now to be I'M
rayeied regarding the carrying of intoxicants into
American ports by foreign ships,
9 Theteeling aroused by the Daugherty ruling has
caused some political candidatesTto forget them
selves in q fashion that bids fair to compromise
their METRE partys standing with that silent and
formidable majority that backs the enforcement OF
the Nolstead law. Governor Edwards OF New
Jersey Democrat, who Is fighting for senatorial
honors in that state has so vlciously attacked the
volstead prohibition enforcement law and the
EIGHTEENTH amendment itself that he is seriously
njuring his party, not only In New Jersey but else-
where.
The only hope that the wet element had in get
ting majority at Washington that would hew
way for light wines and beer lay in pussy foot
campaign That hope has been destroyed by tho
intense feeling wrought in regard to the deter.
nination Of this administration to enforce impair.
tally and inexorably the Eighteenth Amendment
Even the fact that the budget proposed to cover
the enforcement Of this law was not cut down has
been severely criticised by eastern newspapers Pro.
hibitionsin the United States is fast coming to
show down. Every light wine and beer advocate
in the country is in the fight with coat OFT and
sleeves rolled up, of these highest up In the
administration are in sympathy. All these advo-
-eates are talking lot, very noisy, abusive loud
lot Of language, all of which will react against
them IN the end.

All things considered then. We

BUILDING OPERATIONS IN NORWICH

Fuiiding in Nor.Tica and vicinity holds up we'll to the seasons record and there is no apparent slackaning ia the amount of work being done in and about the city. As fast as ,ones j3b is. clrn- pieted the contractors move their. men to another. The small work is showing a decline, however, but the larger pro jects are still holding out. Building sap-1 plications and permits issued at the of fee of Fire Marshal Howard IL. Stanton during the past week show that build ing business is still holding out al-l though a midsummer slump was looked for at this time. The building indus try still leads all other industries in the extent of its growth The increase in the volume of building has been reflect. ed in the cost of material in some lines and the shortage of skilled mechanics has become serious factor in some places Norwich. however, shows no lack of labor and while there is an, abundance of work labor is plentiful. The activity in the building trades Is having a favorable effect.
 Statewise, the record of building per- rnits issued in the larger centers shows an increase in. number and substan- tial gain in the amount of money. rep resented by the new buildings, the fig ures for the previous year being excep- tionally low With the completion of a number of large commercial buildings in this city as we'll as the new school and St. Mary's church 1t has been an ticipated that the large building opera tions might cease but this is apparently not the case. Many applications for new buildings of good size have been filed and work on these has not yet started. The principal buildings in the oity that are now in various stages of construction are the Y. M. c. A. building on Main street which is fast nearing the completed stage; St. Mary's church on Central avenue, which is almost com
 pleted : the Elizabeth street school. which is practically completed with the exception of the electrical fixtures; the Disco building on Ferry street, which Is well along, the brick walls having been erected and work started on tho interior.
 Other buildings in the process of con
 struction include several dweAng houses in the Thamesville section and also .on the west Side. and at East Great Plain. Several new dwellings on Convent avenue and the Boswell ave-
 nue section have been started during | the past week The work on the
 Schwartz building on Main street Is al-
 so well along and the glass front is be- ing put in.
