It is a curious thing that nearly every
city of importance of the United States
has a neighbor which she sneers at
habitually. Good New Yorkers look
on Brooklyn as a place to sleep in.
The people of St. Paul think that Min:
neapolis is a little less desirable asa
place of residence than Siberian mines.
Philadelphians make their wills and
have their lives insured before they
visit Camden. t. Louis turns up her
nose at Kansas City. Cleveland points
the finger of scorn at Cincinnati. Pitts-
burgers choke in smoke clouds, and
return thanks that theydou’t live in
Allegheny City. Last, butnot least,
the good folk of Danbury look on their
neighbors of Bethel as greener than
, new mown hay. Yet when the story
came out the othei day‘that this New
England abode of original simplicity
had been the nest of the most enter-
prising gang of counterfeiters almost
on record, they could hardly believe
their cars. It just shows that latent
possibilities lurk in the most unexpect-
ed quarters.Who knows but that South
Norwalk, may do something one of
these days which will paralyze us all,
even before she is united to the great
or NorWalk. '

The Tariff Bill.
By gagging debate the Housevsuc-
ceeded on Monday in passing the tariff
bill just as it came from the Senate,
notwithstandibfg, the President’s letter
declaring that they could not accept
the Senate Tariff bill without the aban-
donment of Democratic principles and
the betrayal of Democratic pledges;
without “party perfidy and party dis-
honor.”
This bill destroys several industries
altogether and cripples others almost
beyond recovery. The wool growing
industry is doomed to annihilation.
The woolen manufacturing industry,
which supports three-quarters of a mil-
lion people and through which about
eight-y millions of dollars have been
paid out yearly in wages, is so disas-
trously affected by this detestable bill
that sweeping reductions of wages will
be made necessary in establishments
remaining open, while many factories
will be obliged to close. The great
lumber interest, employing hundreds
of thousands of workiugmen, is reduced
to competition with the lower wages of
Canada; and the salt interest, so impor-
tant to New York and Michigan, is de-
prived of all protection. _ Tin plate, in
which Americans have been fast becom-
ing independent of England, is thrown
to the British Cerberus. Directly or
indirectly this measure affects injuri-
ously the whole population of the Uni-
ted States, and yet, notwithstanding
the immense interests involved, it was
forced through Congress by silencing
protest and garroting opposition.

Another Shaft Broken.
One of the uncertain things which
Solomon failed to include in his cate-
gory of matters extra doubtful, and
which he no doubt would have sched-
uled had there been steamboats in
his day, is a steamer’s shaft. Follow-
ing this kind of an accident to the City
of Albany, we note that on Friday
morning last, the ferryboat West
Brooklyn of the South Brooklyn ferry,
on her 10:20 o’clock trip from Thirty-
uinth street, South Brooklyn, broke
her shaft as she was entering her slip
at the foot of Whitehall street.
She had just rung one bell and had
sufficient momentum to come into the
slip without assistance. There were
100 persons on board. No one knew of
the accident. however. She was taken
to the Thirty-ninth street dock for re-
pairs, and will remain there ten days
for its replacement. Age, ”color, or
previous condition of servitude,” seem
to have no influence in securing the
certainty and permanency of a steam-
er’s shaft. Neither has science or ex-
perience furnished any satisfactory rule
or reason for this ponderous mass of
iron parting, as it seems so often if not
most frequently to do, when the strain
upon them is at the minimum-instead
of at the maximum. As Supervising
Inspector General Dumout aptly re-
marks, "Steamer’s‘ shafts are like men,
very unsartain. ”
Political Prophets.
In a country F119?" political changes
follow "each other [with :kaleidoscopic
rapidity, reversing the majorities of
old parties in some states and enthron-
ing how parties 1n,othe‘rs,-no political
prophet can command much confidence
in or respect for his forecasts. Even a
few weeks often work a total change in
political aspects; and, in some instances,
the occurrences of a single day, on the
zerstéf umfiénal-seieatieasfilrw "éirérit? " “ ’ ’ "
I "ed-{says ’tli‘e‘Washingtod’i‘Post, E'j'¥OH-
- . ._ "trolling influence, putting one party
: outandbringxng its opponent in.
One "reason fer the sudden and great
changes that recent years have wit-
nessed may be found in the absence of
anything like a great moral issue.
There is no question that deeply im-
presses the conscience. Parties cannot
be kept in line. worked up to enthusi-
' asm and held there on questions relat-
ing only to rates of duties on imports.
On the silver question no direct issue
has yet been put before'thc people by
the two leading parties. Both parties
profess, opposition to monometallism,
and both claim to be friendly to silver.
It would be possible to so shape. the
silver problem as‘to make ~it‘very excit-
ing, appealing to both . pocket and con-
science with greatforce.
Another cause of surprising changes
is the increase of voters through the
naturalization of the ignorant hordes
of immigrants that have come in since
the immigration of the better classes
of EurOpeaus declined. In some of the
states there are thousands of voters
.who are as unfit for suffrage as ma-
chines or cattle. They are ignorant
alike of our language and laws and as
destitute of patriotism-as central Africa
is of ice. ‘They can be flopped in great
masses from one ,side; to another with
greater case than flocks of sheep are
driven, controlling results locally and
nationally.
But difficult as is the role of the po-
litical prophet, and liable as he is to
get nothing better than ridicule in re-
quital of his labors, there is no lack of
predictions as to the outcome of the
Congressional elections of this year
and the Presidential strugglc that is to
come off in 1896. In relation to the
latter our Democratic contemporary,
the New York Times, has this to say:
“For various reasons the current sets
not toward the Democrats, but away
from them. They must put forth all
the strength of their party and strive
as one man if they would win two years
hence.” - .
Evidently the Times does not regard
Democratic victories in Tennessee and
Alabama as indicative of‘ a change in
“the current.” Other Democratic or-
gans take ’a’more hopeful view. They
feared that “the current” set toward a
disruption of solidity in the South, and
that fear has been dispelled by these
two state elections.
Mayor Gilroy, of New York, is quoted
as saying that “if the Republicans win
in New York state next fall there is not
the slightest doubt that they will carry
the country in 1896. They will also
elect the next Congress,” he‘says, and
“leave the President without the sup-
port of either breach of the Legislature
during the last>two years bf his term.”
Taking up this warning of Mr. Gilroy,
the St. Leuis Globe~Democrat, a'lead-
ing Republican paper, says:
“There will be no quarrel with Gil-
roy’s prediction that as New York goes
this year so will the country go two
years hence. The drift all over the
country outside of the ex—slave states is
undout-edly in the Republican direc-
tion. It is shown in New York as clear-
ly as it is elsewhere. That state will
go Republican this year and the coun-
try will go the same way in 1896. The
evidences of this turn in the political
tide are so numerous and so obvious
that their purport cannot be misinter-
preted."
It is idle to venture guesses as to the
results of a campaign two years off.
The issues are not yet defined and the
candidates are not selected. The possi-
bilities of the intervening months are
immense. They may bring out new
issues and new men and change all the
conditions on which results depend.
But the chances are decidedly in favor
of a great campaign. for the Democracy
will not go out nor the Republicans
stay out without making every possible
effort to carry the election. And may
the best win.

the affairs of John W. Murphy, who
was drowned at the steamboat wharf.
Mrs. Owens was Murphy’s mother.
Thursday night Peter got drunk and
was locked up. Friday: morning his
wife paid his fine and costs and he was
released. Saturday they went to Dan-
bury where Mrs. Owens took her turn
at getting drunk. She was found on'
White Street, in the company of another
woman, says the News, making lots of
fun for a gang of hoodlum‘s,~and was
locked up. Judge Walsh thought two
dollars and costs was about the correct
punishment for each, and that penalty
was inflicted. Mrs. Owens surprised
the ‘ court attaches by pulling from
some place of concealment a brown
calico bag, about the size of an ordin-
ary dress-pocket. The bag was tied at
the top with white twine. _lt was stuffed
full of bank bills, and thesma‘llest de-
nomination was ten dollars. She also
had a bank book. How much money
she had and where'she got it,~is not
known. , She paid her own fine but left
Delia to the'mercies of the county jail.
When she was released Mrs. Owens
started for the New England station to
wait for the afternoon train westward.

improvements at Black island.
A. J. Beardsley & Son. with the Harte
ford Dredging Co., have just secured a
very important contractatBlock Is-
land. It is to construct a channel 15
feet deep at low water and 300 feet
wide from the Great Salt pond through
the beach into the Atlantic ocean. This
pond lies in the centre of the island
and is about .two miles long 'by one
mile wide with good water varying
from 15 to 60 feet in depth.
The object of this work is to give
Block Island a harbor of refuge. The
island being 15 miles from the main
land it is of course exposed to every
wind that blows. There is area enough
to swing two or three of the White
squadron in the pond. The contract
Wlll take about one year to complete.
' The improvement will be a big thing
for this famous resort and yachtsmen
will be glad to find that they have a
safe-harbor to anchor in where they
will not be at the mercy, of the winds.

Bridgeport’s Crossing War.
Judge F. B. Hall of the Superior
court’on Monday gave a decision modi-
fying the injunction restraining the
Traction Company from crossing the
tracks of the Consolidated road, so that
the crossings may be made. He states
that the public act, which was passed
after the private act granting a charter
for.an electric road to the Traction
company," does not prohibit or limit
the terms of the latter. Three similar
injunctions in New Haven county, the
Court says, have been refused, and
therefore he cannot consistently con-
tinue this .in’ force, no decision on the
question having been received from the
Supreme court. _
Judge Hall, however, says the cross-
ing should be constructed in a proper
manner by efllcient workmen and at a
proper time, the Traction Company
giving the steam road suitable notice.

An Unlawful Disgrace.
Attention is called to the large crop
of wild carrots in the cemetery near the
Town House. The law in reference to
letting wild carrots, go to seed is very
strict. Who has charge of this burying
ground, the Congregational society or
the town ? Some action ought at once
be taken in the matter of removing this
rank growth of wild carrots. Will the
selectmen do it? Aside from all this
the burying-ground is in a shameful
condition and its present appearance is
a disgrace to a civilized people. A‘
heathen burial ground would not be so
neglected. If no one else Will do it, the
town ought to put it in a respectable
condition. ~

years old and ' was recently released
from prison. His stealings aggregated
nearly a million dollars, and he spent

l
. CHICAGO, Aug. l4.—Tho Pullman com-
pany is not the only concern which is to
be brought into court for alleged violation
of the miners conferred upon it by the.
state of Illinois. The quo warrimto pro:
oeeding against that company is only the
beginning of a series of suits against in-
terests the aggregate importance of which
equals that of the Pullman company so
far as Chicago is concerned. These inter-
‘ cats are thubuildlug companies of Chicago,
which have for 10 years been engaged in
a race in erecting sky scraping structures.
They are to be made to show cause why
they should not be punished for alleged
violation of their charters, which, in the
cases of the majority of them, provide for
the building of a safety deposit vault or a
structure devoted to the arts and sciences.
‘ The Law Violated.
The announcement that this is to'be
done is made by persons/close to the at-
torney general and is coupled with the
statement that nine out of ten of the new
high buildings, in Chicago are erected in
clear violation of the law. With a few
exceptions all are owned by corporations
organized as safe deposit companies, bear-
ing legal titles dlfierent from those placed
on the fronts -of the structures. _ The
Rookery National Bank of Illinois, Con-
tinental National bank, the Chicago Opera
House buildings and the Unity buildings
are examples. Allhavcbeen built, it is
asserted, with the proceeds of stocks and
bonds issued upon the building and the
leasehold, for in the majority of instances
the ground occupied is not earned, but
held under long leases. In the aggregate
they represent investments amounting to
a great deal more than the total of the
Pullman company’s capital. Probably
$50, 000, 000 would not cover the sum
which has been expended in these bulld-
lngs. The general law of Illinois permits
any number of persons to incorporate al-
most any kind of business. ‘ One of the
most important of these laws has to do-
With real estate.
A Tricky Evasion.
No corporation. so it is stated, is per-
mitted by the statute to engage in the
buying and selling of real estate or the
erection of buidllngs for rent as a bust.
ness. To evade this provision, says a legal
authority, the various corporations formed
to erect buildings in Chicago for office and
store purposes have taken out charters for
the erection of safe deposit vaults or build-
the charter, the companies have proceeded
to establish a safety deposit vault in the
basement, and then cover it with a struc-
ture all theway from 8 to 16 stories. in
In some instances the companies
are alleged to have failed even to build the
safety vaults, but have.contented them-
selves with constructing ordinary vaults
sufficient in their opinion to comply with
the law. Some of the buildings are owned
by associations which have issued stocks
and bonds. This is declared to be in vio-
lation of the law as interpreted by the late
Chief Justice Schofleld of the supreme
court. In a decision rendered by him in
1888 he laid down the rule that no associ-
ation could exercise the power of a cor-v
poratlon. . - '

Burglar-s In a. Parsonage.
MistEAroLis, Aug. 14.--While the con-
gregation of St. Elizabeth’s church was
worshiping at Fifteenth avenue and
Eighth street the safe in the parsonage,
two doors away, was blown open by bur-
glars. The explosion was timed to occm-
when the organ was playing, so that the
sound could :not be heard. The burglars
secured nothing, the pastor of the church
11501113 in Europe and the church collec-
_ti'ons being kept elsewhere during'zhis ab-
sence.
_ Looks Bluo For Sinntof Camden.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 14. -—A special from
Martinsburg, W. Va, says: “Thewarmest
political contest ever waged in the state-
closed with the holding of the Democratic
primaries. The senatorial question was
the issue, and the lines between the Cam-
den and anti-Camden men were rigidly
drawn. The result. is a defeat for Senator
Camden in every instance.”
