The weather 10-day promises to be

Labor Day.

There is much behind the words“La-
bor Day.” Not only does it mean that
the numerical force of the working
classes are recognized, but also that the
hue value and importance of the work-
inc; man, as a citizen and wealth-pro-
ducer, is clearly seen and felt. The
world is acknowledging tot-day, as it
never has before,t that the toil of the
tumor, the skill of the artisan and the
energy of the merchant, are the true
foundations of national,, o'reatne's‘s.

'Ihe Florentine republic was powerful
and wealthy, but the names of her ar-
tisans and merchants are unknown and
unsung; but the poetry of Dante and
the villainies of the Medicis have made
Florence famous, and yet her true
greatness was the product of her arti-
sans, and not of her poets and tyrants.

For centuries, war, literature and
art were the only topics thought worthy
of the historian’s mention; but times
have changed, and the historian who is
true to his task, tells us of great Inven-
tions, how fair cities rise, What just and
w iSe laws have been enacted, how peo-
ple live and what 1s done to make life

5w eeter for mankind, he has other stock
in hand than the victories of generals
and the crimes of kings.

, This centuryhas seen the condition
of the artisan improve and his influence
widen. He Is considered as a human
being and treated accordingly, The
arm of the law Is invoked more often In
his favor than otherwise. The sanitary
condition of his workshop concerns the
state, his wages are secured to his own
benefit, and In many ways the law is
his friend. In the contest for fewer
hours and better wages, the law has not
accomplished as much as has been hop-
ed for. The question of hours and
wages will probably be discussed for
many years, but it is a hopeful sigi that
the contests between employer and, em-
ploved have lost much of their harsh-
mess.

The condition of the American work-
ing man is enviable, he lives under the
best and freest government in the
welld he lives in the greatest and best
country, and his vote and voice are his
ow,n and are as good as the vote and
voice of any one else. The better-
ment of the condition of the
working classes 15 due in no small de-
gr ee, to the influence of the trade un-
ions, which have brought the force of
numbers to hear. The unions have
sulfered many defeats, they have some-
times been badly led, they have over-
estimated the profits of their employers,
but they have learned many things,
and one to- day a greater power than
ev or before.

Then, too, the trade union has taught
Its members to forget natiOnal boun-
daries and race prejudices. On the
whole the condition of the laboring
man thI oughout the world ls bettering.
“Labor Day” is a fixture, and we say
let- it stand.

 

Halt!

A borough meeting is to be held next
Tuesday evening at the Town House,
to consider the expenditure of $12, 000
foo the 1epair of the Grupe reservoir
dam, so that it will hold the water
stored them. That is an immediate and
unavoidable necessity, and there is no
sense or economy in its postponement.
Then comes the other propo'sitions to
pave \Vall street from the foOt of Mill
Hill to the post office, $11,928; "Wall to
Hoyt, $7,810; Main street from Hoyt to
New Canaan road, $10,269; or a total
proposed expenditure, as above of
$42,007. Now. with our already on-
erous borough tax and heavy town tax,
aggregating on the rates of appraisal
prevalent here only a few years ago,
fully four per cent, with school taxes
sure to come, is it not about time for
the tax-payers of this borough to “call
a halt,” on all matters of expenditures
that can reasonably wait. As all know,
the GAZETTE is and always has been,
an ear nest advocate of good roads, but
we can endure the present condition of
these roadways for' some months to
come, more comfortably than our tax-
payers can now pay for their improve-
ment. Then again, some fairer and
more equitable method of assessing
benefits and damages in the matter of
Special highway improvements should
be adopted. In many other places, in
the concreting, paving or macadamiz-
ing of roadways, a rule prevails that
the public pays only one third, while
the other two thirds is assessed on the
p1 operty fronting on either side of the
streets, on the very just theory that all
adjoining pIoperty on such specially
improved roadways are made corre-
Spondingly more valuable. This might

provements of the kind, But the im-
mediate question 1s.a as to the wisdom
of the borough now going into a still
further expenditure of forty thousand
dollars, when only $12, 000 is an imme-
diate necessity. That is the question
every good citizen should think over
candidly and then attend the meeting
next Tuesday evening and vote 'on the
question of road improvements intelli-
gently and honestly.

Catarrh Can’t be Cured '

with Local Applications, as they can-
not reach the seat of the disease.

Catarrh is a blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to cure it you
have to take internal remedies. Hall’s

Catarrh cure is taken internally. and
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is no
quack medicine. It was prescribed by
one of the best physicians In this coun-
try for years, and 1s a regular prescrip—

known, combined with the best blood
purifiers, acting directly on the mucous

NEWS 011' THE WORLD'S III-Aug;

Japan Will Make the Greatest Display
It Has Ever Undertaken.‘

CHICAGO, Sept. 11. —Director General

. Davis. of the World’s fair, has received .a

letter from Gozo Jateno, secretary of the
Japanese legation at Washington, saying
that he had been instructed to give the
viev‘rs of-Muuemitsu Mutsu, minister of ag-

riculture, who has charge of the Japanese ._

government exhibit. It is the minister’s
opinion that the government exhibit in the
past has been seriously embarrassed by al-

leged displays of Japanese manufactures ’

made by private concerns and not”. proper-
ly controlled.

These have injured rather than, promot-
ed Japanese commerce. and in some in-
stances have been used' by speculators to
defraud the merchants of J apau. Minister
Mutsu and the government of Japan de-
sire that nothing of the kind shall mar the
nation’s participatiOn in the Chicago fair.
The government intends to make the
greatest display it has ever undertaken.

 

 

Indiana‘s Project.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. Ila—The Indiana
board of World’s fair mana ers meets to
elect an executive commissioner, who Will
have charge of the exhibits of the state at
the fair. The executive committee will
consider plans for the Indiana building.
A movement is on foot to solicit from each
pupil in the state the sum of five 'cents in
1891 and 1892 for the purpose of helping de-
fray the expense of constructing the build-
ing. The Indiana members of the com-
mission are working to secure the election
of Mrs. Virginia C. Meredith as chief of
the live stock department of the fair.

South Dakota’s Plans. 3

DEADWOOD. Sept. 11. -—The state legiSla—
ture having failed to make an appropria-
tion for a South Dakota’s World’s fair
exhibit, and the governor having failed to
call an extra session for the purpose, a
convention called by the Deadwo'od board
of trade met here yesterday and adopted a
resolution requesting commissioners of
each county in the state to submit a prop-
osition at the November election to the
voters of the state to determine the ques-
tion of an appropriation of $50, 000 for a
state display.

Mulligan Got Up and Fled.

SPRINGFIELD, 0., Sept. 11,—0ne night
three weeks ago three houses were entered
by burglars a, who got a fair amohnt of
valuables. At Rowling’s lumber office a
bad job was made. The explosion was evi-
dently premature, and it seems that one
of the burglars was badly injured. from
the trail of blood left behind. The next
day a stranger with badly burned face and
hands entered the city hospital for treat-
ment. He said that he was burned by a
gasoline stove explosion. It now turns
out that he is the injured burglar, believed
to be Jimmie Mulligan, with a big record.
A letter to a sister in Chicago was inter-
cepted yesterday and first threw light on
the affair. Mulligan got up out of bed and
fled, and is now being sought by the police.
