The Republican Town Caucusat the Town House, last night, was one of the largest and most'spirited held for years. Capt. “Ike” slid into an almost unani- m’ous renomination, as slick as a sailor down a greased spar. . Our present popular and proverbally accurate and eflicient Town Clerk and Town Treasurer, were renominated without competitors, the caucus voting their renomination with a sense of gratefull obligation to them for the im portant and responsible services they have rendered our town. gQuite a contest developed in the se- lectiOn of Tax Collector, our old and faithful incumbent, St. John, finally winning the race byla handsome maj or- ity.: ' Now for their election, about :which there is no shadow of doubt. O.— Gonsolidate The Schools. Aii't'he best educators of the country are now claimed to bein favor of a town management of the public schools. Our own State Board of Education, is strongly committed to this new and im- proved system of school control and management. In the New England tates of Maine, Vermont, New Hamp- shire and Massachusetts. the public schools are all under the town system. More than fifty towns in Connecticut are successfully working under this new system. Shall Norwalk lag beh'nd? British Silver Mine Owners. ' Edward'Atkinson calls attention to a fact apparently overlooked \by Mr. Bryan in his denunciation of “British gold,” that British owners now hold a largepart of the silver stocks of this country and nearly all the productive silver mines of the world elsewhere. The American mines are now pro- ducing about 50,000,000 ounces a year and those of Mexico, South America, Australia and elsewhere about 125,000,- 000 ounces. The bullion value of the product last year was about 3115.500,- 000. Mr. Bryan proposes by free coip- age to give it a nominal value in the Unitedjstates of $215,750,000. Mr. Atkinson quotes the report of one British mining company which has paid its shareholders in the past gight years over $40,000,000 profits on a capital of less than $2,000,000, in spite of the pre- vailing low price of silver. Such a company could afford to pay hand- somely to have its profits further in- creased. But, of course, there are no contributions of “British silver” to this campaign. Blasphemy in Politics. The present campaign on the Demo- cratic-Populist side,seems to run widely into blasphemy. No blatant anarchist has ever come before the public to strut‘ his brief part and fade into nsignificance, who was not a blas- phemer, and the campaign literature that seems to be most desired by the followers of Bryan, and in which he himself often indulges, is the mimlsd vituperation of classes and the blas- phemy of holy things. These were the stock in trade of Kearney when he came from the sand lots_of the Pacific coast, and of Coxey when he led his. Falstafiian army to Washington, and of Tillman, whose pitchfork oratory has ofi‘ended alike both friends and foes. Mr. Bryan should remember that he is,» a candidate for the Presidency that is the highest civil trust of the-world, and while he could not now by dignity and logic in his addresses, save him- self from over whelming defeat, he might save himself from defeat with ‘dishonoru Here is a paragraph from his speech delivered to a large mul- titude of Chicagoans who were [cele- I ‘ brating Labor Day: “Letgme call your attentiOn to the fact that when the meek and lowly Nazarene came among men and preached peace on earth and good will toward men, He was not welcomed by those who are described as people who devoured widows’ houses.” , ' Tillman delivered a like Tiarangue. , Here is a paragraph in which he classes himself with Jesus Christ: -— ~ “Whenever any man in history has had the courage to defend the common people they call him an Anarchist. It began with Jesus Christ. I do not re- sent the title.” This mingling of blasphemy with campaign oratory is logical enough as the outcome of the blasphemous rhe- toric of Bryan in the Chicago Conven- tion that secured his nomination, but the reaction it must cause against the candidates who are supported by such ofi'ensive methods cannot fail to be overwhelming. The sincere religious sentiment of the country has been time and again wantonly ofl’ended by the repudiation and communistic orators who take their one from Bryan himself, and the recoil against the mingling of blasphemy and politics, will be the most crushing in our political history. —-‘ .>_.__——_ WIND P‘ULLED HIS. TOOTH. Was This the Effect of Kentucky Wind, or Whiskey? One of the ' queerest pranks of the wind during the cyclone the other night happened at the corner of Sixth and J of: ferson streets. J onn Gazzollo, the night engineer_ at the City Hall, has been suffering from toothache for some time, and has been telling his friends that haintended to have the sober re- moved as soon as hc could screw his courage up to the point. On the night in question his . tooth ached so badly that, he could hardly hear the wind blew. He was desperate. Borrowing a guru overcoat from one of the policemen about the police station, he started out just as a funnel-shaped cloud was scudding along. He reached the corner of Sixth and J eflerson streets and was about to turn the cerner when a gust of wind struck him and lifted him off his feet. He might have been carried .over to the Court House yard and drowned in the fountain but for his presence of mind in grabbing the iron railing that runs around the steps leading down in- to the basement. He clung there‘ for a moment with the wind right in his face. He turned his head, and as he did so there was a sudden jerk. that dis- lodged his hat and fairly unravelled his red necktie. Then there was a lull, and when he crept back into the station house he made the startling discovery that the - aching tooth was gone. The wind had pulled it. He tells the story himself, and if it is not true Mr. Gazzollo has greatly deceived use. —Louisvit’le Com- menial. T'OMBs 0? THE A_Pos_TLI-:s. Bome Lays Claim to Being the Burial Place of Seven. All that now remains of the apostles of Christ are in the following places: Seven are sleeping the sleep of the just in Rome. namely, St. Peter. St. Philip, St. James the Lesser,- St. Jude, St. Bar- tholomew, St. Matthias, and St. Simon. . The remains of three lie in the kingdom of Naples: St. Matthew at Salerno, St. Andrew at Amalfi, and St. Thomas at Ortona. One, St. James the Greater, was buried" 1n Spain at St. J ago do Com- postella. Of the exact whereabouts of the remains of St. John the Evangelist there is much dispute, says the Hart- ford Times. St. Mark and St. Luke are buried in Italy, the former at Venice and the lat- ter at Padua. St. Paul’s remains are also believed to be in Italy. St. Peter is buried in Rome in the church which bears his name; so too are St. Simon and St. Jude. St. James the Lesser is buried in the Church of the Holy Apos- tles, St. Bartholomew in the church on that Island of the Tiber which bears his name. The “Legends of the Apostles” places the remains of St. Matthias un- der the altar of the renowned Basilica. SORT OF JURYMAN NEVADA GROWS. Not a Variety to be Désired by Other States. An odd character in the palmy days of Nevada was John Jett, of Smokey Alley. He had the reputation of being the most stubborn juryman in the State. He would hang for days, and then suddenly change his mind and vote with the others. For a long time the attorneys at Austin could not un- derstand him, says the San Francisco Post. . , Assod‘iiias a. jury would ~ retire John would sound the difieren‘t members to see how they stood, and when the ballot was taken he would be found with the minority, and sometimes alone. After more argument and more debating J ohii would produce a deck of cards and start a poker game. Occasionally they would stop playing long enough to take a ballot, but John would still be found in the minority. Then they would resume their play again, until John had all the money in the jury room, and then he would vote with the majority. But no one could ever get a. verdict out of John until he had all the money he wanted. .9 A Play Robber Killed. =A dispatch from Marion, Ohio, pub- lished recently, centained the following story: Orlando Deweiss was out walking with a young lady last night. While passing a dark place he was stopped by a man, who ordered him to throw up his hands. Deweiss responded by pull ing a. revolver and firing at the sup posed highwayman. The ball struck the man, and he fell to the ground. When he was picked up Deweiss was dumfounded and horrorstricken to find the injured man to be his chum, Verge Everly. Everly, in a. spirit of fun, had sought to scare Deweiss by playing highwayman. The bullet struck Everly' 1n the breast. He cannot recover. / 1ch A .. E CH ECKEREBOAR‘D "BUSINESS DIRECTORY. _’ .
