The City Streets.

The streets of the city of .Norwalk
were never in a more filthy condition
than they are at present. Our two
principal streets, Wall and Main, are
covered with mud and pieces of old pa-
per. A stranger standing at the corner
of these two streets and looking in any

city we had. The new pavement on
Main street is completely hidden from
view by a thick covering of mud, while
the gutters are filled with the debris
swept from the stores along that thor-
oughfare. On Wall street the same
cmditions exist. The pavement is hid
from view by mud and the gutters lined
with paper etc.

A thorough cleaning up of our city
streets should at once be inaugurated,
and as many ’of the men now out of em-
ployment as can be set to work should
be given a chance to earn something

for themselves and families.

Claims of the South.

The Augusta Chronicle, in complet-
ing a summary of the prosperity of the
section» of which it is the industrial
capital, say s in relation to the extreme
depression in the cotton manufacturing
business 2 “There could be no strong-
er evidence of the South’s superiority
over the North in its advantages for
cotton manufacturing than that during
the past year Northern mills have been
shut down, while mills in the South
have been running on full time and
have paid good dividends.”

We have repeatedly called attention
to the same fact, and have pointed out
that the prosperity of the South’lay
along that line. What is true of Geor-
gia is fully as true of North Carolina
and several other Southern states.

Manufacturing on the spot where the
raw materials are produced will always
be the more successful and prosperous,
and the claim which the South makes
in this connection is one which will be
readily admitted.

 

Never Heard of Him.

Few men in this country have been
more talked about during the past eight
years, and none, perhaps, since the 4th
of March last, than Grover Cleveland,
the present distinguished occupant of
the White House. It would seem that
everybody in the United States ought
to know by this time who he is and

Yet up in Mauch Chunk, Pa., the
other day, an applicant for naturaliza-
tion appeared in the Carbon County
Court who, on being asked to give the
name of the President of the United
States, was unable to answer the ques-
tion; neither did he know what form of
government he was living under, wheth-
cr monarchy, republic, or empire. The
judge declined to give him a certificate
of citizenship, and the petitioner will
not vote at the coming election.

It is safe to say, however, that when
the naturalization ,mills are running on
full time in the midst of a heated can-
vass, and under the manipulation of
unscrupulous politicians, with the ap-
parent connivance of the courts, thou-
sands of aliens are transformed into
American citizens year after year. hav-
ing as little knowledge of the institu-
tions which they swear to support as
the applicant mentioned above, though

perverse "in the intellectual make-up,
even of a Hungarian ceal miner, who
never heard of Grover Cleveland. Evi-

ed his vote much more than he wanted

Danbury Labor Troubles.

The eighteen firms that closed their
shops against the trades unions eight
weeks ago, and in consequence locked
out over 4,000 men and girls, will make
a determined effort to reopen, their
shops independently this week, says a
press dispatch. They have several
times made half-hearted efforts to re-
open, but every time they have failed
as the union men have refusad to go to
work in other than 'union factories.
The manufacturers will hold a meeting
today to decide upon the day that they
will sound the whistle. This will be
the signal for their old help to return
and resume their old places. The test
will probably be made Tuesday or
Wednesday. The old help will have to
abandon their unions if they go back
to, work, but the manufacturers say
they are certain that after eight weeks
of idleness and deprivation a large
proportion of them will be only too
glad to return.

The labor leaders are encouraging
.the locked-out people to“ resist this
'move of the manufacturers-and to stand
by the unions. They assert that there
is a break in the Manufacturers’asso-
ciation, that several of the firms will
open as union shops, and that if the
men stand steadfast nearly every fac-
tory will be compelled to open to the
unions. The leaders say that repre-
sentatives of four-firms have assured
them that they would open as union
shop’s. Those firms are said to be By-

A Scrimmage.

There was a disgraceful scrimmage
on West avenue near Fitch’s store
about 9 o’clock Saturday night. At
that hour four young men, three of the
number wearing cadet uniforms, came
out of Orchard street singing a love
song which they continued as they pro-
ceeded up the avenue. The singing
was of a discordant nature, which fact
was noted by two young men who were
coming down the avenue.
men made some remark that was offen-
sive to the singers and there was a
scene in which fists, vile and profane
language were used by both factions.
The cadets proved to be the stronger
of the two parties and they separated
after an interchange of language that
would not look very well in print.

Boasts have been made that the socialists

NEWARK, N. J ., Jan. 22.—-A large num-
ber of the factories of this city have ire-'
sumed operations on full or part time and
the manufacturers say that the outlook is
much better than it has been. The hat
trade is picking up and most of the shops
have a. full compliment of hands at work.
Three fires have been started in the large
furnacesat the smelting department of
the Atha and Illingsworth Steel works.
These works have been closed down since
July 1, of last year. The employes of the
General Electric company are working in
several departments until 7:30 o’clock in
the evenings to keep up with the orders,
and last week many new hands were taken
on. The Watts-Campbell company, ma—
chine and engine manufacturers, have
been closed down since Dec. 23, but they
started, up on full. time to—day. The BoY'
den Shoe company began work a few
days ago on full time and the proprietors
say there is every indication of a good
spring trade. The other leading shoe fac-
tories are also open. The Clark 0. N. '1‘.
and Marshall Thread mills are running on
nearly full time. The Sergeant Manu-
facturing company, makers of saddlery
hardware, are running on three—quarter
time. At the Balbach refineries as many
men are employed now as ever before.
The T. P. Howell Leather company began
work to-(lay on full time after an idleness
of many weeks. Hugh Smith’s patent
leather factory is also working on full
time. _ Heller and Merz Titre. Marine
Blue works are going on full time with
a full force of men. Lissa and company,
trunk manufacturers, began work on
three-quarter time last week after a pro-
tracted idleness. " '

The building trade is dead and sixty per
cent. of the masons and carpenters and
jobbers in the city are idle. Those that
are at work are in many cases receiving
much less than the union Wages. This
state of affairs is troubling the unions,
but they cannot put a stop to it as the
men must have work to maintain their
families. Contractors are taking jobs at
lower figures and employing men out of
work at correspondingly low prices. Of
course, this branch of business is always
dull during the winter months.

Bridgeport’s Street Car Strike.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Jan. 22.-——Tiie strike
of the Traction company’s employes is as-
suming a serious phase. Mayor Bostwick
and the poiice commissioners went to the
station and the mayor read the riot act
to 2,000 people. Crowds gathered on the
line of the road in East Bridgeport last
last night and the entire police force was
kept busy trying to disperse them. The
company made several attempts to send
out cars, but they were stoned and finally
abandoned by the men brought here from
New York. One car lies on its side in
Congress street. The labor unions have
agreed to co-operate' with, the strikers.
The latter have done no violence and they
threaten none. Not a car is running in
the city or on the line to St-ratford.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.—The feast of St.

nence, Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore;

sent a diplomatic note to all the papal

credited, on the perils of the situation in
{tome and the possible necessity which
may arise for his holiness to leave that
city. It is further stated that there exists
a secret understanding between the Holy
See and Spain by which the latter govern-
ment has agreed to provide an asylum
for the pope in the case of need.

communism, however, the members must
obey blindly the orders of their superiors,
even at. the risk of life and without re-
gard of their dearest affections. '
