Whether his plan is to grow them until
there is a change in the administration I
don’t know. Dan, as an enthusiastic
democrat, wouldn’t be likely to raise
whiskers for a republican president,
therefore if we are to associate his
whiskerswith achange of power ‘it must be
supposed that, his ideas of the duty of the
“powers that be," to turn the rascals out
being at variance with those of the afore-
said “powera’that be," he is still waiting
for a. democratic president and raising
whiskers accordingly. Howeverthatmay
be, there is, of course, a mssibility that
other motives are fertilizing Dan’s heard.

Saysthe New Milford Gazette: “The

again that the selectmen have determined

any one who is found guilty of being a

state prison, the prospect for outlying
tramps in this region is not pleasing.Partlcs

nothing at the prison to warrant an official
