World’s Fair.
~ In the opinion of err-President Har-
rison,.the World’s Fair “is not only a
success, but a triumph.” The phrase
is a happy one. The people should
bear in mind that now is the time to
see the Fair. The number of foreign
visitors thus far has been comparatively
small, but American appreciation of
what is truly the Greatest Show on
Earth, has not been slight. It ought to
increase during the closing weeks. _

Woman Suffrage in Connecticut.
Under the law passed by the legis-
lature of Connecticut last winter ena-
bling women to vote at school elections,
201 women Yavailed themselves of .tbe
privilege of the annual school election
in New Haven. The first ballot ever
deposited by a woman in Connecticut
at a school or municipal election was
' cast by Mrs. Alexander Tronp, wife of
the editor of the New Haven Union,
shortly after the polls opened on Mon-
day morning.
The number of votes cast is not large
considering with what vehemence the
right of female sufi‘rage is insisted on,
but it is considered a good beginning,
. and hereafter a greater interest will
doubtless be manifested by the women
of Connecticut in this matter, especially
in the choice of school trustees.
The women are as greatly interested
as the men in the welfare, of our edu‘
cational institutions, and for that mat-
- ter in the management of municipal
affairs generally, and if they desiretto
take part in the choiceof the oficiais
who are to govern them, why should
they not be permitted to do so? A
good deal of the old-time prejudice on
this subject has disappeared of later
years, and the fact that women are to
vote on school questions is not to be in
any sense regretted. ‘
Politics Can Wait.
It must be assumed” that a majority
of both democrats and republicans in
the House and in the Senate, favor the
repeal of the Sherman silver purchas-
ing clause, because they are convinced
that it ought to be repealed. The ques-
tion involved is not one upon which
political parties properly divide. As a
matter of fact, the Sherman act was
passed by a republican majority, but
it would be flagrantly unpatriotic to re-
fuse to join in its repeal when its bad
effects have been demonstrated. and it
is not to be believed that any consider-.
able number of Senators would do so,
merely for the sake of embarassing the
party in power.
Nevertheless it is wise to recognize
the fact that the present condition of
the country, in the face of the deSperate
attitude of the Silver Senators, impera-
tively requires the cordial co-operation'
of the rational members of both parties,
and it is not judicious to complicate the
situation by urging the consideration
of political questions. Of course the
democratic majority mean to repeal the
Federal election laws. They are as dis-
tinctly pledged to that as to the repeal
of the Sherman act or. the revision of
the tariff. But this is a d1stinct party
issue upon which the minority may be
expected, as is its right and duty, to
present the most determined opposition
of which it is capable. To have such a
battle going on in one. house while the
silver question is pending in the other
cannot but produce a kind of friction
that it would be better policy and poli-
tics to avoid.
Of course there is no logical reason
why one issue should complicate the
other. But men are not always logical
when .their political interests are
aroused. Besides, this extraordinary
session was called for the particular
purpose of giving the country financial
relief, and until that has been accom-
plished it is unnecessary and unwise to
raise other issues, especially as nothing
can be finally accomplished at this time.
There can be no expectation of
passing it at this extra session and it
should be laid over until the special
purpose of the session has been fulfilled.
There will be plenty of time for politics
any... regular session; in the present
emergency politics can wait.

nate Mr. Mead providing the same was

Collision on East Avenue. ' '
Shortly after 8 o’clock Wednesday
night, as trolley car No. 1 was going
down East avenue, Motorman Everett
Kyle discovered a horse and Wagon
across the track a short distance below
Mr. T. S. Vanderhoef’s residence. He
at once applied the brake and put on
the electric reverse, but too late to
avert a collision. The car and wagon
collided, wrecking one wheel of the
Wagon and throwing the driver out.
An investigation revealed the fact that
the owner of the turnout was Joseph
Sturges of Weston, who it is reported
was under the influence of liquor. The
harness was stripped from the horse by
the force of the collision, but the ani-
mal escaped with slight injury.
A' hatter named Edward White, who
was on the front of the car, jumped off
and fell with the horse on top of him,
but escaped serious injury. After Stur-
ges was picked up from the roadway
where he had- fallen, he expressed him-
self to Motorman Kyle as follows :
“ D—n your buttons, why didn’t you
blow your whistle ? ” .
Evidently Sturges was asleep in the
wagon and his horse stopped to rest,
but failed to pull the wagon free of the
track. Luckily enough Sturges es-
caped injury.

ATLANTA, Ga., Sep. 28.——The Constitu-
tion prints a letter from President Cleveland
to Gov. Northern, in which the president
states his position on the financial question
at some length. The letter is in reply to
one written by Gov. N orthern'on the 15th
inst. The governor refuses to give his
letter out for publication but it is known
that it presented a graphic condition of the
political situation in Georgia and the
south, and urged upon the president the
expediency of a public utterance from him
more comprehensive than his recent mes-
sage as to the proper policy to be pursued
by congress upon questions affecting the
stringency of the times and the needs of
the people. It is understood that in his
letter Gov. Northern pointed out inroads
being made in the democratic ranks by the
populists by reason of the neglect or delay
on the part of the democratic majority in
congress to meet legislation on the line of
the party platform and pledges. He dwelt
especially upon the financial condition and
political unrest of. the farniers of the south
who constitute so great a proportion of the
democracy.
The president’s reply to that letter is as
follows:
“EXECUTIVE MANSION,

“Hon. W. J. Non'rnnN:

very explicit. I want a currency that is
stable and safe in the hands of our people.
I will not knowingly be implicated in a.
condition that will justly make me in the
least degree answerable to any laborer or
farmer in the United States for a. shrink-
age in the purchasing power of the dollar
he has received for a. full dollar’s worth of
‘Work, or for a good dollar’s worth “of the
product of his toil. “I not only want our
currency to be of such a character that an
kinds of dollars will be of equal purchasing
power at home, but I want it to be of such
a. character as will demonstrate abroad our
'wisdom and good faith, thus placing upon
firm foundation and credit among the
nations of the earth. I want our financial
conditions and the laws relating" to our
currency safe and reassuring; that those
who have money will spend and invest in
business and new enterprises instead of
hoarding it. You cannot cure fright by
calling it foolish and unreasonable, and
you cannot prevent the frightened man
from hoarding his money.
“I want good, sound, and stable money,
and a condition of confidence that will
keep it in use.
"Within the limits of what I have writ-
ten, I am a friend of silver, but I believe
its proper place in our currency can only
be fixed by a readjustment of our currency
legislation and the inauguration of a
consistent and comprehensifi financial
scheme. I think such a thing can, only be
entered upon profitably and hopefully fiter
the repeal of the law which is charged
with all our financial woes. In the pres-
ent state of the public mind, this law can-
not be built upon, nor patched in such a
way as to relieve the situation.
“I am therefore opposed‘to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver by this country
alone and independently, and I am in favor
of the immediate and unconditional repeal
of the purchasing clause of the so-ealled
Sherman law.
“I confess I am astonished by the oppo-
sition in the senate to such prompt action
as would relieve the present unfortunate
situation. .
“My prayer is that the delay occasioned
by Such opposition may not be the cause
of plunging the country into deeper depres-
sion than I have yet known, and that the
democratic party may not be justly held
responsible for such a catastrophe.
“Yours very truly.
“Gnome CLEVELAND.”

Price One Can?
A Shrewcl (Move. .
The politicians abdut Danbury are
all laughing at the clever way'in which
thetprospective women voters made
their debut with politics in that city.
The two big parties held their caucus-
es to nominate. town officers. About
forty womenwere in attendance at the
repubhcan .convention, and took» an
active part in the nomination of can-
didates for the school committee. They .
succeeded in placing acandidate on the
republican ticket in the person of Miss
Emily 0. Hawley.
. After the school committee was nom-
inated, the women left the hall, and
went down stairs. They sent into the
democratic caucus a committee to look
after their interests there. The comit-
too was cordially received, andbefore
they left a woman was nominated on
the democratic ticket. /’
As a result, there will be a woman on
the school committee for the ensuing
year- The coup d’ etat is the cause of
much amusement.
Hope for Mayor Keelerl
As a premonition of what might hap-
pen to our genial nominee for Mayor,
Keeler, we give below the won-
derful ood luck which has overtaken
Mount _ ernon’s Mayor. That city is
on the line of our railroad and so much
electricity charges the atmosphere just
now, there is no knowing but that this
twm epidemic might prove contagious
and _our friend Keeler catch the epi-
demic, should be be elected Mayor
here. This is the exciting record:
Mayor Edward Fa Brush. of Mount Vernom
was presented b his wife with two beautiful.
bouncing girl babies yesterda . This is the
second time the gemal Mayor has
the proudparent of twins.
He believes his high distinction is
mainly due to his being the first Mayor
of that new city. So Keelcr should
been made
have high hopes,'if he wins his election,
as he expects to do.
