STREET SPRINKLING.
(Bridgeport Farmer.)
. The question of sheet sprinkling is
a broad one, with many sides. Hereto-
are it has been done by private par-
‘os at the property owners’ expense.
but there has long been a demand that
it be done by the city with assess-
ments upon property owners. '
‘in benefits, street sprinklfbg does

He is but one '0: the beneficiaries.
Others are the driving public. the p'o‘d-

MULE CLUB
(Bridgeport Post.)
it appears they have an interesting
club of chronic kickers in Norwalk.
Very appropriately the organization is
called the “Mule Club." Tile club hadl
a big food of oats. with proper irriga-
tion. at Gregory’s Point. on Tuesday
evening. Chaplain Mule Samuel Das-
kam read a poem. after the food was
over and he promised to present cvol y
mule present with a copy of the lines.
We give. the last stanza. which 000111.:

Nor criticise her wiles. ‘
Trust God in shadow and ill sun.
And luck will come your way;
But never since old time begun.

it seems a little inconsistent to. glvol
such advice to mules. it flies don“ ti
bother them and cause worry muicsl
will not kick. What is the use of ilclngl
11 n‘liilc if you cant kick?
We applaud the sentiments on i
which the Nol'waik Mules agree and,
think there is need of such a club in.
this city. Thole is no plogrcss with-
out discontent. The kicker is all cic-

life that must be considered. Kicking
always means an advance. Where

roads and promanontly paved streetsl

that goes to make life in Bridgeport so
enjoyable unless some stubborn miliu
found it incumbent to make a strenu-

The kicker deserves honor and ad-
miration. At the risk of unpopularlty
llc protests against wrongs and makes
himself a sacrifice for the public wel-
fare. All the progress of the closing
century has been accomplished by
kicking millet! and we should never
forget it.

Grand Central Troubles.
(Hartford Courant.)
Tile trouble still persists in and
about the Grand Central depot in New
York. The managers any in the papers
that they will “receive with open
arms" the man who will bring a reme-
dy along with him. Meanwhile trains
urlivo when they got there. The rom-
cdy lice, of. course. in establishing a
loop system. no that things can move
continuously along in one way. But
until that is done. and while cvory
train is liable to aggravating delays.
It does seem all if the New York Con.
trnl people might hang settling ladders
along the walls of the canyon through
which cars approach to the depot. '1 ills
