WATERBTJRYi EVENING 1DEMOCRAT; WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31V I POLITICAL POINTERS Cowles of Hotclikissville Should ; Re member of Clowes of Vaterbury." President Cowles. of the American Knife Co. at Hotclikissville, was iu Waterbury yesterday and has been re ported in one of the papers as stating ', that if Bryan is elected he will have to shut up shop. Mr Cowles must have been joking, else ne never would have made such a remark as that in AVaterbury- Our distinguished towns man, Georjie H. Clowes, said the same thing just before Clevelanu 'was elect ed and after all the factory never had such a Tun of business a it had dur ing the regime o the republicans, and who knows but tilings may turn out the same way with the Hotclikissville man. The democrats will hold another rally to-morrow night, when George Fred Williams of Boston and the Hon Daniel Davenport of Bridgeport' will speak on national and state issues io thy auditorium. The republicans are becoming very uneasy over Connecticut and grave doubts are entertained as to the re sult of the great contest between the masses on one side and the classes on the other. The work of the trusts and how they effected the laboring classes is being laid thread bare by the demo cratic speakers and in consequence the republicans are getting desperate. Go to the rally in the auditorium to morrow night. A reporter of the Democrat was In formed to-day that a co-tain number of democrats and republicans have combined for the purpose of electing George I,. I.illey and Attorney Guil foile to the general assembly, leaving Mr Byrnes and Mr IVasley at home to attend to their office practice. It is hoped that no one who pretends to be a democrat will have anything to do with the scheme. The democrats are able to elect Brynes and Guilfoile and ir is their duty to do it. Brooklyn district is to have a grand rally on Friday night and that part of the city will be treated to one of those enthusiastic rallies similar in many respects to the one of Monday night. It will be held in Washington square, near the school house, and the speak ers will be Wifliam Kennedy, It. A. Lowe. M. J. Bryne and F. I". Guilfaile. There will he other noted sneakers there also whose names cannot yet be given out. There will be lots of music and plenty -bf red lire to make things hum over in that hustling district. William Kennedy's remarks in City hall Monday night on the work of the trusts in Xaugatuck and other New England towns caused many people pause and wonder, how much longer Waterbury will have to wait when it will be up against the trust. That"s a question for the people to decide. If the electors of Waterbury and. the other towns In the state do meir duty on the sixth of November' we'll hear no more of the likelihood of doing all the work of the city at one of two places. Go and hear George Fred AVil liai'ns talk on this subject to-morrow night. Prospective builders of homes who found the price of everything -that goes into a house so high the past year or two that he could not afford to commence operation should drop into the auditorium to-morrow night and learn something about the cause of the high prices of lumber, nails, ce ment and everything except labor. It Is a well known fact that the trusts crippled the building business all over the country during the present year and people who have grown tired of the load should make it a point to see that they are not compelled to carry it four years more, There are a large number of "De serted Villages" in Connecticut. Our morning contemporary printed a sketch of one of them last Sunday, and there will be more if the people do not rise up en-masse and stay the rav ages of the trusts and combines, which tinder -the fostering hand of the Me-Kinley-Hanna administration, are fast undermining the foundation of this grand republic and threaten to lix things so that in a short time we will "--bo forced to exclaim with the author of the "Deserted Village:" "One only master grasps the whole domain!" Go . to the auditorium to-morrow night and hear the democratic speakers upon the trusts. Sevetod prominent democrats of the eastern stV-tion of tile c:ty would like to know now several other supposed i democrats lh tliat section stand on tne . question of the candidates for senator ship. It is known that Harry Durant conferred several times with those democrats, the last meeting being held in a saloon In the vicinity of the Sacred Heart church. Harry has prom ised that he will do certain things for these men and in return they have agreed to support him. Tnese men . may have, thought they were doing things secretly, but if so they are mis taken, for they are being watched care fully. Democrats in The eastern sec tion should be on their guard and not let themselves be deceived by the al viee of false leaders, one or two of whom had a part In the nomination of Attorney Kennedy for senator. There is no need of mentioning names. .Let those whom the coat fits wear it V- ;' ; -The republican rally in Poll's thea ter last night was a success in point or nunioers. out mat was an. xne speakers, . though laboring hard to " combat the arguments put . forward from time to time b th,e democrats, fell far short of the mark.

GOES TO-tlNDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. Jennie Lefebvre, Who Ran Away 1 to j ', ' Xew. York' Last Week. i Jennie Lefebyre, Who with Mamie Dillon ran away from home last week to become an actress, was before the. ity court this morning charged with being incorrigible. Jennie is about 16 years old. She wore a red cap, her hair hung in two braids, one thrown artistically over her left shoulder. She seemed entirely unconcerned. Mrs Le febvre stated that Jennie is her adopt ed daughter. The adoption was made through the courts when the girl was only fifteen months old. She testified to her going away to New York last week with the Dillon girl and that the latter wore male attire during her ab sence. Irately she said it has become impossible to control the girl's inclina tion for thieving. Money is her espe cial object and the day before she ran away she stole her mother's pocket book containing $10. It Is to pay her way to the theaters that she steals. Jennie had nothing to say for herself, and while her mother was in tears at the prospect of their parting Jennie was all smiles. When the time came for her to go she stolidly walked out of the room without even a word of farewell to her weeping mother. She was committed to the Industrial School .for Girls. Frank Yoshinskas was fined $5 for throwing handbills on the street. CLEVELAND SAYS BRYAN. The Ex-President Says There Is a Landslide For Democrats. Grover Cleveland, former president, in an interview which I had with him, says a Princeton correspondent of the Philadelphia Times, predicted a land slide to William Jennings Bryan, the democratic candidate for president. He advanced several reasons for this belief. For an hour the great democratic statesman fought shy of any reference to the political situation. He urged that he no longer takes any active in terest in politics, and is content to quietly look on. Then our conversa tion turned to the condition in the west, and after a little reminiscent talk Mr Cleveland said: "My young man, you will see a land slide for Bryan the morning after elec tion. Of that I am confident." To this I repliedithat the indications, according to the republican leaders, are favorable to McKinley, but he quickly retorted: "Of course they are. That is policy; what I tell you is my private opinion." There was no doubt concerning the former president's sincerity in his ex pressed belief, and when I asked him what reasons he had for so thinking, he continued: , "You do not understand the condi tions. There are elements all over the country at work which it would be im possible to draw into line for McKin ley. In the first place, union labor is for Bryan. Of recent years tills or ganization of labor has been a factor in politics and it certainly is not fav orable to the Interests of capital. "The traveling men are for Bryan. These men, who are a small army, are of the opinion that the . republican party is the protector of corporations, and by the amalgamation of industrial interests many of them have been thrown out of employment. "In the northwest, in Minnesota, Da kota and Iowa there are many Hol landers. Sympathy for the Boers, who are their own Hesh and blood, will in duce them to support Bryan. See if I am not correct. "I have no desire to be drawn into any controversy over the results of the election, but if the republican man agers honestly 'think that President McKinley will be re-elected, it is my opinion they are mistaken. They do not know the situation." Further than this Mr Cleveland re fused to discuss the campaign. He said Mr Bryan is a remarkable orator, and has a magnificent personality, which is responsible for his tremend ous popularity. I asked him what the effect of an oratorical campaign is. He said : "Well, for a man who can talk as Bryan does, it is a successful method. For a candidate who is not an orator, it would be a dismal failure." Mr Cleveland said that in spite of his political inactivity, he had been sought by representatives of all the leadine papers, who are apparently eager to obtain his opinion of the situation. He has steadfastly reiuseu. because, as he said to-day, "I am out of active politics." COLOMBIA IN REVOLUTION. Matters Are Seriously Mixed and Thousands Have Been Killed. New York. Oct 31. C. B. Hart, United States minister to Colombia, has arrived here and is on his way to his home in Wheeling, W. Va, said in an Interview: . "Matters in Colombia are seriously mixed. The liberals started a second revolution a few days ago, and it has developed great strength. The fight ing has been fierce, and up to date the killed and wounded have numbered 30.000. "While the liberals have met with much success, it is my belief that the government will be eventually success ful. But the revolution is seriously disturbing business. General Prosperq. rinzon is in command of tne govern ment forces and the revolutionists are commanded by General Rafael Uribe. The scene of the trouble is in the de partment of Cauca. . . . , "In the recent election, san ukiiicl- ti and Senor Marroguin were elected president and vice-president, respec tively, San ClementI, because of the state of his hearth, could not live m Bogota, and went to VHieta. .In his absence Marroguin started a rebellion and assumed the presidency,, securing the recognition of all tu eforelgn pow ers except the Papal See."

The board of public works held Its regular meeting last night.' there being present 'Commissioners Whiting, Ma haneyV Blakeslee, Chessoft, '. Superin tendent Reiiey of the. street;;- depart ment, Superintendent O'Brien of the bureau of water, Engineer Cairns and City Clerk Ryan. .In the absence of Mayor Kllduff , who was presiding at the meeting of the board of public safety, Commissioner Scully acted as Chairman pro tern. Hearings were given to parties In terested In the grade and layout of Branch and Grant streets, the exten sion of Beacon street to Fleet street, the change of grade at the corner of Orange and Walnut streets, the layliig of sidewalks on Brewster street and Easton avenue and a sewer in West Grove street from North Willow street to connect with the sewer already laid in that street. The board acted favor ably upon all the above -mentioned mat ters and recommended to the'aldermen that the several projects be carried out. The law date for the laying of sidewalks on Brewster street and Eas ton avenue was fixed for December 1, 1900. On motion of Mr Whiting it was voted that property owners on How ard street between Wolcott street and South Oak street be cited before the hoard on November 13 at 8- o'clock in the evening to be heard relative to the establishing of a grade and layout for that street between the poin?3 men tioned. The petition of James" O'Brien to maintain a lunch cart in the West End was taken from the table and a vote passed giving the petitioner leave to witlntraw. The board was favorably disposed towards the petition until they learned that almost all the people in that neighborhood were opposed to it. and that settled it. It looks as if the board is likelv to have some trouble with the Connecti cut Lighting and Power Co regarding the removal of the pole that stands in the square ntjhe junction of North Main and North Elm street and which the board ordered removed before the work of paving the street was com menced. The company claims that the abutting property owners have refused to allow them to change It to a suita ble location and that they will comply with the order of the board as soon as the city finds a place for them to' put it in. The board did not take very kindly to this proposition, and know ing that in its present position it is a menace to life and limb, all agreed that it should be taken from there as quickly as possible and with this end in view the following resolution was passed: "Voted, That this board regards the electric wire pole on North Main su-ei-i, opposite -ortn iiiim street, as dangerous and a menace to public safety, and hereby orders the Connecti cut i,igming and I'ower Co to remove it, and the city clerk Is instructed to translate through the city sheriff this order to the companr. It was the sense of the meeting that tlie snerill serve a copy of the vote on the company to-day. AVhen the matter of commencing on cratious at the Wigwam reservoir was broached, one of the commissioners asked Mr Cairns if he thought that ttie city would lose anything by confin ing this work to local contractors as well as to local laborers. Mr Cairns said he believed that wo could get ex celleut results and confine the bids to residents of Waterbury. It was then voted that the engineer be instructed to advertise for bids for the construe tion of a new road at the Valley turn pike, the bids to be confined to rest dents of the town of Waterbury. The raising of the dam will throw the water back onto the present roadway. and in order to avoid trouble a new highway will have to be constructed before doing anything else. The water rates for the past six months were received and ordered transmitted to the collector for collec tion. It was voted to recommend to the aldermen that public necessity and convenience require that a wall be built on Mill street along the Mad river trom Baldwin street to the prop erty of the Waterbury Clock Co, and that the board be requested to provide funds to do the work. The estimated expense was given at $3,000. A sim ilar vote was passed in reference to the need of cleaning the basin of the East Mountain reservoir, which the superintendent reported in a very dirty condition, and as it is now prac tically dry it is considered a very op portune time to do such work as Is re quired fo put it in a sanitary condi tion. The miscellaneous bills and the pay rolls were aproved. The latter were as follows: "Water. $481.75; streets, $1,505.15; sewers, $114.75; engineering,' $ ISO. - . - The board adjourned until 8 o'clock this evening, when the estimates tor the ensuing year will be considered.
