The adoption of :1 resolution at the last
meeting of the Common Council of
South Norwalk that. so for as possible,
the unskilled labor be employed from
among the residents of Norwalk
in the construction of the pro-
posed sewer in Taylor avenue,
was most commendable. Their act-
ion will, no doubt. bring relief in many
homes. There are men in Norwalk who,
on account of the prolonged stagnation
in busincsni, find it a burden to tight
against starvation. There are men who,
although accustomed to more skilled la-
bor. are not so proud, at this time. as to
turn their backs upon tho “pick and
shovel," but they are plczmed to he offer-
od the opportunity to work, be it ever so
menial, rather than sec their loved ones
suffer. It seems needless to say that
when the contractors having the improve-
ment rcl’errcdlo under slilwi‘vision call
for help, there will be plenty ul‘ appli-
cants. Alreadyanumber of the prov-
1011st unemployed men are at work on
the alterationsnow in progress along the

Washington have added many millions
to their tax valuation and thousand s to

Washington from 147.200 to 230,002 in

The best of this sort or growth is that

The “Washington Post" adopts with

Hartford to turn over in its mind at a

But good. honost pride—not vanity nor
conceit, but pride that has an abhorrent-e
of that which is low 11nd unworthy—is
grand. It digniiics and onuoblcs; itisin-
spiring and a spur to effort.
There is one kind cf pride which some
condemn as egotism. It is the local pride
of the good citizen who believes in his
own town or city and its. institutions.
This kind of pride has done a good deal
for the material prosperity of Chic‘iigo.
and it has probably conduccd to the
moral and mental welfare of Boston. It
has never done much for New York. bo-
causo the city does not possess enough of
it to have any force. But in some of
