Charles A. Jackson

The death of "Gus'' Jackson, for Gus" was what he was known by to all his old friends, removes from our civic life gen. tleman of the old school. Retired from active business for quite some few years now he was still familiar figure in the haunts that were dear to him. Notable among these was the Elks' Club of which he might be regarded as pillar It was only few days. ago it seemed that he passed by the Democrat plant as he had been doing for many months past.
 His name like that of several members of his family was long connected with the Stone-cutting business. He inherited his love for it from his father. The Jackson monument works on Bank street just be- low Grand on the west side, where the original stone works was established by his father and where Later c. A. Jackson carried on his own business, was long landmark in the city. Some few years ago he retired from active competition to the peaceful routine that so rested him.
 MT. Jackson was an interesting man to talk to and could speak at great length on his travels in his early years. He was especially well versed in the history of Waterbury during the latter part of the 18th century and never tired of relating experiences which he had gone through or of which he had good knoWl- edge. He was at all times kindly man and of simple habits. He always seemed content to follow certain pattern of life unobtrusively asking little of his fellow men and intruding not on others.

New Record Made

The rate of interest to be charged on the new loan that the City of Waterbury will float to carry on it's business unCll the May installment of taxes IS collecteo establishes new low record. It IS slight 1v less than half of one per cent, 40 to oe exact. This is, of course, not eXceptlonaI in view of the extraordinarily low rates ot interest that can be, obtained on tempo rary municipal loans, but 1t does prove the contention SO often voiced by this paper that Waterburys financial status has remained good throughout the entire course of the barrage of caustlc criticism laid down by the publisher of the LeaVen- worth Street twin journals.
 Controller Daniel J. Leary has consist ently retorted to such charges as em- anated from these papers with facts, not mealy mouthings. He has not reSorted to any tiresome game of charging ana counter-charging He has simply gone about his business and regularly has he applied the calsomine brush in the form of some such announcement as that printed in the Waterbury Democrat last night. We are glad to note, too, that the loan did not come until about two months after the expiration of the pre- vious one
 Even two months respite from the in- tsrest burden that goes with borrowing in anticipation of taxes is something to be praised It shows that the cltys finances are rapidly approaching as high a peak as could be attained. It IS almost impossible for municipality the size of Waterbury to expect ever to reach per lection in tax collections. Last years record was splendid one; we expect to surpass it in 1886. If we do we can rest assured that our temporary loans may extend over shorter and shorter periods.

Then And Now

Human nature still remalnS the great enigma of the world. Just when you think that you are beginning to under stand the queer quirkS in the nature ot mankind he does something to upset all your conjectureS and carefully worked out philoSophieS. The best example right now is the right-about that the American public has executed in the case of our public utilities. It was only a few short years ago that we were ready to and actually did believe the very worst about them.
 That every public utility company was a veritable octopus reaching out con- stantly with long sinewy tentacleS to grab LID rights that were inherently the peoples was a common credo. And so widespread had become this belief that state and federal governments had begun to move slowly but surely toward more rigorous regulation of these same utilities, which hitherto had been above any govern mental control. It was a common cry that utilities ruled the government.
 The sensational exposes that were brought about through the efforts of single individuals with mighty determin- ations did much to convince the Skeptlcal ones that what had been said about the power of the utility concerns was true. And ultimately we know what happened. We had federal regulations with partlcu- lar reference being made to utility hold ing companies. This was an aftermath of the Insull scandal which rocked the nation not so long ago.
 Righ now public opinion has just ur1- dergone one of those sudden switches which make it so unexplainable. We're beginning to feel sorry for the utilities. That's why we don't bristle with alarm or demand action when the utilities ig- nore the holding company law and bring suit against the government. And that's why the utilities all over the nation are pressing forward and baying at the White House doors How did they do it? Just as the greatest lobby in this country was maintained for long years, so now the greatest legal array against our govern ment is being drawn up. Senator George w. Norris calls it "disgraceful'. That may not be the adjective, but it will do for the time being.

Custer Is Upheld

The Supreme Court of Connecticut has
 upheld the custer order of the Superior
 Court by which John T. Derwin and Peter DunaiS were removed from their offices of Registrars of Voters last spring. The decision was written by Associate Justice Frank D. HaineS,and was concurred in by the remaining members of the court. It ends definitely the controversy over the registrars office, but has no pertinent bearing now on the registrars who will take office in January, 1886.
 The Supreme Court finding rules that no vacancy ever actually existed in the office of registrar and that when the oc- cupantS of the office resigned their posi- tionS would almost automatically be filled by the incumbent deputy registrars. The city charter provision giving the Mayor the right to fill. an office where vacancy occurred did not govern the situation, the finding says, and as consequence there was no need for mayoral appointment.
 Now that an election has interveneds there doubtless will be less feeling about this matter than there was last spring. whether or not it will result in city of- ficials demanding clarification of the charter or amendments to it, remains to be seen. But at any rate the decision gilI allow interested parties to satisfy that they were right or wrong fl the convictions they possessed on the rerffs uf fhe disputants-

A survey of our. humane institutions has been begun by Governor Wilbur L. Cross and the members of the commits sion appointed for this purpose by him recently. We feel sure that when the check-up of the list has been made the members who have made it will be of one mind, namely, that Connecticut must take certain definite steps in the im1ne- diate future to correct bad situation. Praise will be bestowed where praise IS deserved. We have made fine progress III many respects. We have improved our state tuberculosis senatoria tremend- ously, but more can be done with them. We have built new state hospital in Fairfield county. Another addition to It is needed. We require one more home for the feeble-minded Our state hospl- tai at Middletown must be completely renovated to cope with modern times. A large outlay of public funds is involved. Taxpayers ought to interest themselves in this situation to the extent that they would demand the required changes.

A Book a Day
He Introduces Japan to the Outer World
By BRUCE CATION

That naval officer named Perry whipped the British in the battle of Lake Erie is known, presumably, to every schoolboy. That naval off, cer named Perry opened Japan to trade with the outside world is also common knowledge.
 But our knowledge of history gets a bit fuzzy, as we grow older, and most of us have hay idea that both of these stunts were accom- plished by the same Perry.
 As it happens, they weren't. Oli- yer Hazard Perry fought on Lake Erie; it was his brother, Matthew Calbraith Perry, who went to Japan and the second achievement, from the viewpoint of world history, was perhaps even more important than the first.
 A fine biography of this Japan Perry is now available in 'The Great Commodore" by Edward M. Bar rows. It tells the career of one of Americas most useful sailors and gives a complete study of one of the most consequential achievements of modern times.
 All that Japan is today dates from Perry's visit. Up to 1853, Japan had no foreign trade, no visitors. The country was dramatically sealed; no one could enter it or leave it.
 Perry went there with fleet and by combination of clever diplo- macy and brute force opened the kingdoms doors: Few human acts have had greater consequences.
 Perry himself was an interesting man; bluff. slightly pompous, a reg ular blow-hard sea dog of the old tradition-but a remarkably intelli- gent and forceful man, along with it. He was largely responsible for the modernization of our navy in the pre-Civil war era.
 Published by Bobbs-Merrill, the biography sells, for $3.75.

It seems a bit out of place for the state to include on the list of those subjects to the old age pension tax nuns: For the most part these women have dedicated their lives to religious purposes and are without any means of income. They are dependent not on charity to be sure, but on the support of the church which spon- sors their convent. They could easily have been included among the list of those exempt without causing any Ill feeling from those not included. We be- lieve that the religious who consecrate themselves to virtual life of deprivation of the worlds pleasures deserve this bit of consideration.

CCC BUILDING STRUCTURE FAR GREATER THAN
 MATERIAL ONES
Dec. 10, 1855. Waterbury, Conn.

OCOs ", 4OCVs
 .... Waterbury, Conn. E..or, Waterbury Democrat:
 The erection of new buildings in large cities draws the largest crowds of interested people. They will watch its rise from the cornerstone to the top, stopping a few minutes each day 10 watch the progress being made on the structure.
 Although they have no large crowds of interested spectators, the CCC workers are building Something far more imposing than structure of stone and steel. The CCCs are moulding the lives and character of young men for future use in these United States. In few years hence, the young men who are now in the ranks of this great peacetime army of unemployed will be stepping into positions of responsibility. The aim of the CCC is to turn these boys back into everyday life with new outlook on life in general, make them feel that there is niche for each and every one of them.
 If tn people who watch the erec- tion if the new buildings mentioned would devote few minutes of thought each day of their debt to society as whole, there would be less need for our large police de- partments. In the camps the boys are given an opportunity to know what is really meant by ability to be independent, self-supporting, and good citizen at the same time.
 If the people on the outside would consider each of the camps as a small city in itself with problems such as we find in every city, town and village in the nation. They have their mayor, police depart ment and legal department .rep- resented in their officers and super intendent. Their council is composed of their first sergeant and other Headers.
 Heads of different departments, such as street and maintenance, are taken care of by assistant leaders. The rest of the young men are the citizens of the city and are ready to do their part at all times to make

Selected Poem
THE MILK BOY

Marjorie Knapp, in the Christian Science
 Monitor.) At night we put the bottles out
 And in the morning, sun or rain, On icy sidewalks or thick mud,
 We always find them full again. Sometimes on winter mornings, when I waken while it's black as night, hear the milk boys wagon come And see the flashing of his light. It must be great to chatter round With everybody else asleep. Clanking the bottles as he likes. Without single rule to keep. When I'm little older grown, . I'm going to be milk boy too, And ride around just everywhere And do just what choose to do. Sometimes I'll milk the COWS myself Right in the middle of the night. And then, while all the worlds in bed, I'll drive the cart and flash my light.
