WATERBmY EVENING DEMOCRAT MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1900.
Is the very first item on the list of ar
ticles which had that imposition called
war tax taken off it, but the 10c pel
pound on tea still remains. Well, that's
pretty work for the politicians; you
can readily see what kind of men have
been sent to Washington. Just reflect
on this matter. Keeping a duty of 10
cents per pound on tea, an article
which is a necessity (providing you
wish to enjoy good health and a long
and happy life) and taking the tax off
a drink (beer), which is a costly luxury
and in many instances raises ructions
and causes many a sore "head and black
eye, and sometimes is the direct cause
of spending a thirty or sixty days' va
cation in jail or town house. Say, the
politicians who made the above blun
der virtually passed a law the other
day whereby the soldiers are deprived
of their beer, yet the same fellows took
the tax off the "stuff." For pity sake
are they insane? Well, we sent the
lawmakers over to Washington and we
must abide by their decision. Iteinem
ber. it doesn't matter whether they
leave the tax on Tea or not: we will
look after our patrons' welfare and
see they get the good quality every
Time. We euarantee our Tea and Cof
fee to be the top notch quality, and
we sell at the bottom notch price. If
vou doubt us just give up a trial, then
judge for yourself whether we tell the
truth or not at

The Rev Father Slocum of Water
bury preached a sermon last Sunday
morning, which a Waterbury news
'fakir" took up and magnified into a
eulogy of Dick Croker and other Tam
many hall leaders, and -a denunciation
of Bishop Potter and his crusade - on
vice in NewYork. . The story was all
out of the way and Father Slocum was
justly indignant about it. -He has
written to such newspapers as printed
the story and came under his, observa
tion, and they have all. retracted and
apologized, while the New York paper
in which 'the story "originated has writ
ten . to the priest that the man, who
sent - the story to it has been dis
charged. Now the Sentinel printed
the article as it found it in an exchange
but it hasn't been asked for an apology
or retraction. Nevertheless it gladly
gives both, for it has no desire to mis
represent Father Slocum and never
misrepresents any person, priest or lay
man. Intentionally.-, We extend to the
reverend gentleman the assurances of
our most distinguished considerations.
