From a reliable source it is learned
that the American Writing Machine
company. manufacturers of the cali~
graph, now located in Hartford, will
soon be brought to this city. says the
Bridgeport Union. Arrangements have
been made with the Yoet Writing Ms-
chine company. whereby all the ma-
chinery used in the manufacture of the
caligraph will be brought here and used
by the Yost company, who are to build
and deliver the writing machines to the
American Writing Machine company's

The action of the county commission-
are in reducing liquor licensee is looked
upon with disfavor in Waterbury by all
outside the liquor business. The town
tax last year was 3 mills and $3,000 bad
to be borrowed to carry the town through
the year. The reduction of licenses has
increased the amount of taxes 320.000
and thus an additional mill on the regu-
lar tax will have to be imposed. A 2
mill tax was voted, so that $00,000 must
be secured from some source to siippcrt
the town.

l'hree gangs of track men on the New
York and New England railroad, one
from the section of Douglas. one from
East Thompson. and the other from
Thompson, have been arrested for dese-
crating the Lord's day. They were mak-
ing repairs on the road at the time. The
thrie gangs consisted of thirteen men.
The arrests were made under the old
blue laws of Connecticut.

A slight shock of earthquake was felt
in the eastern part of the state. after
midnight, Sunday night. The vibration
was from east to west and the low rumb-
ling noise caused considersble alarm
among the residents. In some of the
dwellings dishes were broken and crock-
ery rattled. No great damage was done.
The shock was felt for about a minute.

The report of the New Haven county
commissioners has been made public.
The total number of licenses granted
during the year ending July I, 1894, was
958. netting the county a revenue of
$849,270. The reduction of license fees.
made recently, will make a difference of
almost 8100.000. The taxpayers will
have to make up for the deficiency.

The commhalonera cf Fairflald county
have not yet decided to lower the
ccetof liquor licenses. They are still
uncertain what course to pursue.» ‘ If
they keep the promise they ads to ’ the
saloon keepers some time ago. the price
willherednned mum to 0300. but
conditions have changed so much since
the pledge was given that it is new hard
to tell just what will be done. In an ar-
ticle on the subject the Bridgeport Stan-
dard says:

A year ago the saloon keepers called
upon the commissioners and said that
business had been so poor they could not
raise money enough to take out their
licenses. They wanted the commission-
era to accept moo for‘ a six months'
license. and then collect the remani-
er at the beginning of the second half
of the year.- Business. they ' hoped,
would be better then. and they would be
able to pay it. At that time they claim-
ed they were not paying expenses.

The commissioners knew they could
not grant six month licenses The
statute allows the board to sit only 100
days in the year for the purpose of
issuing licensee. and this time is taken
up with the- present number. To issue
half-year licensee would necessitate the
board's meeting twice the specified num-
ber of days, and keeping anothm set of
books. all of which would be impomible
in the time allowed them by law. They
also knew that while many of the saloon
keepers would. if granted half year licen-
aee. pay the remainder of the cost, others
who had not made any money would
keep putting the matter off until the
year had passed, unless they were raid-
ed and closed. The commissioners here
discussed the situation with the coni-
missiohers in the other counties of the
state, and the result was an agreement
not to issue any half-year licenses. but to
reduce the cost the following year if
business did not improve.

Although business was poor the num-
ber of liquor licenses granted last year
was nearly as large as the record of the
year before. The saloon keepers, how-
ever, were obliged to get. the wholesalers
totake out the licenses for them. In
this way they placed themselves in the

power of the wholesale dealers. "While '

a saloon keeper might own the stock
and fixtures in his place worth $1.200'or
$1,500, the wholesaler held the license,
and could take it away whenever be
pleased. Knowing his power he would
not permit the saloon keeper to pur-
chase liquor of anybody but himself, and
charged whatever price he wanted to for
it. This condition of things made the
saloon keepers desperate. and they have
been waiting grimly for the expiration
of the present your, in hopes that they

would then be able to free themselves a: n

from the merciless grip of the whole-
colors.

in some of the other counties the
agreement has already been carried out,
but in this county a serious obstacle has
arisen. The Democratic members have
learned that many saloon keepers. and
most of the wholesalers, worked against.
the Democratic ticket in this county.
Sheriff Clarkson was hailed savagely by
them because, they claimed, the work of
his deputies was decidedly unsatisfactory,
and they were taking this means of
squaring accounts. 80 in order to punish
the liquor element the commissioners are
tempted to let the license fee in this
county remain where it is. But they feel
that the Democratic party cannot afford
to trifle with the saloon keepers very
much, and in all probability the reduc-
tion. distasteful though it is, will be
made.

While the Democratic leaders feel that
they cannot trifle with the saloon ele-
ment, it is strange they forget the repu-
table eiemeut of their party. the men
who cast aside party affiliations when
the waiter? of the city, county or state ls
menaced. This section of the Democra-
tic party is frequently overlooked by the
Democratic liticiane. and that is why
the Repuhl aparty ieeooften sonnet
ed witkthe control of affairs. No party
can afford to forget the best interests of
the whole people. As soon as it does
there comes an avalanche like that of
last Tuesday, which makes all politi-

clans understand that in this country
the people are supreme.
