REMEMBER TEA TOT DOME, RORABACKISM? QUERIES
 WRITER
Oct. 30, 1889.

Oct. 30, 1889. Editor of The Democrat:
 Well, were are again in the midst of a mayoralty campaign. Some of us were in favor of changing the charter so that we could take the mayoralty out of politics but we could not. Of course the Democratic party, or rather those in control of the party are in the red, that is bad.
 However, I do not just like the way the Republican and American have tried to make political capital out of this mess. This was not sole- ly Democratic mess; but an inter- locking of both Democrats and Re- publicans. We had at least three Republicans and a former Repub- lican mayor mixed up in this. The former Republican mayor was Q strong cog in the wheels of the machine. This machine was broken down with the aid of Independent Democrats.
 This thing was spread all over the country far and wide in order to dis. credit the Democratic parry. more than to really clean out the machine, now let's see the Republi- can American admit that Vincent A. Scully is not bad, but the party. The party has stood many jolts and I think it will be able to stand a few more. The party principles are equal and exact, justice to all, with. out special privileges to any. Is it fair to blame the party for what some individuals have done, who have used the party to forward their selfish aims?
 The Christian Church certainly |sts rlds preeminently for justice and humanity, and yet deviis get into it in order to use it for their own advantage. The devil gets into every- thing even some Christians them selves and even tempted our Blessed Lord.
 Now for a moment we will look at men and forget party.
 Vincent A. Ecully is the son of g former mayor. the late Martin Scully, if the City of Waterbury ever had a one best mayor in this quarter century 1t was Martin Scully, absolutely free from all graft or dis

Selected Poem
FRIEND AT THE END OF THE ROAD (By R. N. Livingstone in the Boston Post)

I watched bird against the evening sky, Soaring on tired wings in search of rest Watching saw the baffled creature try In vain to find tree wherein to nest I watched blow horse. weary from its toll, Cast longing glances at the barn nearby Then to resume its way across the soil, While hopelessness shone out from soft brown eye. I watched man--dejected and unkempt. Stroll city streets in search of kindly word Dreaming of heights that he might yet attempt, Vending his way unnotced and unheard. Bird beast and man, somewhere haven waits Be of good cheer-the weary road will end There will be peace when life's harsh storm abates- Somewhere abides never failing friend.

GOOD RECORD FOR WATER.
 BURY
 (Meriden Jot,rnai)

Waterbury, at least, has something on everybody. OfYhand. we don't believe there is . city in Its class which can claim a 100 per cent record in cleaning up hit-and.run automobile eases. The police get the blue ribbon, which is well deserved, but credit belongs to the citizerls who pay for the police and put up especially for an accident investiga- ton squad.
 A radio patrol system has proved most effective. In the latest case 2 youth was left bleeding and senseless on the highway. Broadcast of Q message had hardly been completed when one alert patrolman noticed . machine bearing telltale marks, This job was quickly attended to; others have required more sleuthing.
 Judging from the newspapers, Wa terbury has had its full share of this sort of despicable business and it's about time that certain hair-hrained motor operators have learned that they can't get away with 1t in the Brass City.

Many KiImer fans will not agree with Mrs. Joyce Kilmer that his fa- nous poem, Trees" is the worst he ever wrote. It is the best known piece of all he created. It represents him in most of the anthologies. Through that one poem many have been led to read other things he wrote. Good or bad. according to ones critical tastes, it is safe to venture that if Kilmer's memory sur- wives popularly for hundred years. those fey simple lines. symbolic of Kilmer's life and philosophy. will be the reason.
