Editorial Letter.

WASHINGTON, March 14, 1880.
Dean Gazsrrr: :— -

In the Senate, our confederate friends
found the Fitz John Porter iron so hot in
their hands, that they were quite willing to
drop it, and it was :‘laid on the table" by
their concurrence where it is likely to lie till
the end of the session, and like poor Pat's
porcupine, they will never “know jist which
end to take hould uv the haste,” again.-

In the House, the “new rules seem to have
been the chief subject of discussion, although
one long and stupid and dreary speech on
the modern humbug' of “Civil Service Re-
f orm" has been delivered.‘ The extra clerical
force bill for the War Department
finally dragged itsweary way too passage
and now it is to'be hoped, some new life
may be infused ihto our pension bureau and
the nation’s defenders find a little more
prompt attention to their just and equitable
claims. The way this bill has been all along
handled by the democrats, is most amusing.
If they passed it, they reasoned, it would
' give just so many new places to republican

workers. If they didn’t pass it, the soldiers
of the country would be incensed against the
democratic party in the coming Presidential
election. So, after after these long, weary
months, they finally concluded that their
party advantages would preponderate by
allowing this imperatively needed bill to be-
come a law. .
THE PUBLIC PRINTING.

The thousand operatives, whose forced
dismissal from the Public Printing ofilce,
was recorded last week, are still roamingthe
streets, for want of a simple passage of the
deficiency bill which if it in any way affected
the pay of Congressmen, would become a
law in ten minutes, while the public printing
is daily accumulating. The fact that hun

' dreds of necessitated and worthy working
men and women are going hungry for bread,
is no affront to the joy the average Demo-
cratic Congressman experiences in being
able to prate of Republican extravagance and
to pitch into Public Printer Defrees, whose
greatest fault has been in “taking on” such a
large number of “poor sticks," in compliance
with the inordinate importunities of these
same 'democratlc members, The fact is,
the Democrats have never forgiven Mr
Defrees for loading Horace Greeley upon
them and conducting in their behalf, that
unique Presidential Campaign. Represents-
tive Finley, of Ohio, seems to think himself
specially inspired to administer upon De—
frees, the just condemnation of the Demo-
cratic party, and we are not quite sure but
that Defrees deserves their. harmless retribu—
tion. Nevertheless, it is a disgrace and an
outrage for Congress to permit such needless
suffering, and all from lack of any honest
desire to care for the public interest. '

In view of the failure of Congress to make
the necessary appropriations, the publication
of the CongreuWnal Recordwill be suspended
after Monday until the apprbpriation asked
for by the Public Printer is made.

POLITICAL norss

Both the Hartford Republicanpapersz-
J ewell’s organ, the Post, and Gen. Hawley s
paper, the Courantr—are out for Edmunds,
and it is thought the Vermont Senator will
very likely get a Connecticut delegation at

Chicago.
The above is a sample of much of the
political news telegraphed to us here. As
the Vermont Senator is nota Presidential
candidate, and personally assures us that
under no possible circumstances will he be,
we are inclined to think it not very likely
that he will get a Connecticut delegation.
The Senator in his quaint way, said to us,
that no, Presidential bee, not even of the
minutest dimensions, had ever penetrated
his bonnet, and he should certainly .e all
confidence in that All-Wise Providence that
had hitherto directed his steps, if any combi-
nation of circumstances should be permitted .
to arise, where he should be exposed to the
possibilities of a Presidential nomination, and
in this feeling, we are confident he is entirely
sincere. While the Republican party might ,
go further and fare vastly worse, it would be
next to a public calamnity to withdraw Mr.
Edmuuds from the Senate for any purpose
whatever. Gen. Hawley was, last week,
openly and zealously pronounced in favor of
Senator Edmunds, but as the General will
find all of the Vermont Senator‘s attributes
of unblemished personal and political charac-
ter, with unswcrving fidelity to Republican
principles, coupled with the very highest
order of statesmanship, in Secretary Sher-
man, it will not be surprising to again find
him one of Mr. Smxm’s most enthusiastic
supporters, as he had hitherto been supposed
to be. Indeed we have heard no probable
ticket suggested here with more considerate.
approval, than that of SHERMAN and Haw—
mzx. Such a ticket has a happy civilian and
military balance. Mr. Sherman is a man of
Connecticut family origin, though a native
born son of the great slate of Ohio. Gen.
Hawley was born in North Carolina and
transplanted himself, like a sensible ms; to
Connecticut, and thus is the South, New
England and the West delightfully blended.
And last, and most important of all, against
either one of whom can the tongue of scan-
dal or even political malevolence. justly
make one, single damaging aspersion?
While we have no wish in the matter so
strong that it can suffer chagrin at whatever
action is taken at Chicago, we most sincerely
. believe that the above ticket would prove
stronger before the people in our next Can-
vass, than a renomination of our greatest
military chleflain to a third assumption of
the trials and ‘duties of the Presidency.
Moreover, we have that inherent faith in the
good sense and loyalty of the American peo—
ple, to believe that we can elect any - Repub-
lican who may be nominated at our conven-
tion, over any' Democrat nominated at the
Democratic Convention, and in high personal
attributes and elevation of the candidates,
we know the above ticket of Susana and
HAWLEY, would stand out in conspicuous
grandeur, over any nomination it is possible
for the Democratic convention to make,
OHIO souD roe suxauax.

Secretary Sherman has received a telegram
from Mr. J. K. Robinson, chairman of the
Ohio Republican executive committee, which
met at Columbus stating that the meeting of
the central committee was entirely harmo—
nious, and that the Ohio delegation to the
Chicago convention will be solid for his
(Sherman’s) nomination.

This will gratify very many true Republi-
caus'whose personal preferences do not rest
upon Mr. Sherman as their hoped for candi—
date for President, because of the indecent
malignant abuse heaped upon him- in certain
quarters, for no other fault than that he was
willing to permit himself to be a Presidential
candidate. These assaults from professedly

-Republican sources have begotten a strong
feeling of sympathy for Mr. Sherman that no
amount of praise would have awakened. On
the subject of his being a candidate, he
writes thus, in his usual, frank, and manly
way to a friend: ‘

r * * The first public mention of my
candidacy'was in the inference drawn from
my letter to the Hon.Mr. Haskm, of New
York, in which I stated what I would seek
to do in case of my nomination andelection.
Since that time have been considered by
the public as a candidate, and have so regard.
cd myself with the purpose neither to press

- any one to support me, nor to decline such
friendly aid as is ofiered me. This position I
intend to occupy to the end. .I do not think
it necessary for me to belittle or arraign
General Grant, Senator Blaine or any one
else, nor will I use my 0111ch position to
promote my candidacy. Very truly yours,

J omv SHERMAN.

The Star here publishes the following bit
of gossip anent the presidential question,and
whether true or not it is exactly in the .line
of Senator Platt‘s plain, honest and uuosten-
tatious, good common sense;

Senator Platt, of Connecticut, has notified
his friends that he does not wish to be chosen

a' delc to at large to the Chicago convention.
as be h:

lleves that the “national convention

should be relieved as much as possible from
the appearance of control by members of
Congress."

It has been intimated to us that our Re-
publican members of the House are in accord
with Senator Platt’s views as expressed
above. 4 ‘
THAT SENATORIAL soaxnar.

“And may the Lord have mercy on your
soul." Such was our expression last week
in referring to the fact that Senator Ben Hill
of Georgia, had followed his criminal indis-
cretion with Miss Raymond by another and
more terrible one, in that he had “stirred up"
Mrs. Bel” A. Lockwood,- and by implica-
tion at least, accused her of attempting to
levy blackmail on him. He certainly could
have had no idea of that female lawyer’s
terrible "perseverance under difiiculties.”
He might better have jibed the tigress guard-
ing her whelps. ~The unsavory scandal was
made part of the Senate Record, Friday, by
reason of Senator Hill’s too loose talking, in
which a southern correspondent reports that
he charged Senator Kellogg of Louisiana,
with having brought the virgin mother of
his babe here to force a. favorable action from
him on his (K's) contested seat question.
Senator Kellogg rose to the following person-
al explanation, and had read the annexed
extract appearing in the New Orleans Demo-
'ocrat, a paper published in New Orleans, on
the 9th day of March, 1880, purporting'to be
extracted from a newspaper called the
Charleston News:

“It is well understood in Washington that

the woman Jessie Raymond was carried there-

W. P. Kellogg, the carpet bag Senator
Louisiana, and that he has been threat—
ening for some time to have this suit brought
unless Senator Hill would cease his efforts to
have him (Kellogg) unsealed. The story of
the seduction is not believed by thpse ac—
quainted with the facts, and, even if it be
true, resort to so dastardly means to attain a
political end can only recoil on the head of
the concoctor of the scheme."

After the Clerk had read the above Mr.~

Kellogg said:

“MR. PnnerEn'r : This article is published
in the New Orleans Democrat. The same
matter, in substance, I find was recently tele-
graphed from this city to several points in the
South. 1 have never heretofore noticed a
newspaper article,however unjustly or falsely
it may have reflected upon me. I do not know
if I ought to notice this even now, but pos—
sessed as I am, of information which leads
me to believe that there is a settled purpose in
this article and other of the same import,
which have been published, to prejudice me
regarding amatter that may cemc before'the
Senate, or to divert public attention from
another quarter to myself. I feel "ustified in
calling attention to this article. desire to

y that the article readiby the Secretary, so
ar as it relates to me, is absolutely false in
every respect; that I‘never at any time had
any connection whatever with the matter
alluded to in this article, either directly or
indirectly, nor any kuowled c of the maficr
until it was pretty generally nown, nor had
any other person or persons, with my knowl-
edge or consent, any connection, directly or
indirectly, with this matter. - _

I pronounce the authors or originators of this
and like charges, whoever they may be, or
wherever they may be, wanton and malicious
calumniators, who characteristically strike
in the dark and in the back, but are too cow—
ardly to come to the front.

0n concluding his remarks, Senator K.
presented a resolution demanding thefullest
investigation of the caluuiny, which Senator
Thurman very conveniently opposed. The

by
from

scene was quite dramatic. Mr. Kellogg was ,

very much excited, and when he reached the
climax of his declamation and pointed over
towards the corner where Senator Hill sat,
all eyes were turned in that direction. There
was general expectation that Mr. Hill would
say something, but he simply smiled andro-
mained seated.’ But not only has the Geor—
gia senator’s escapade become now a part of
the Senate’s ofiicial record, but Mrs. Belva A.
Lockwood “goes for him” in yesterdays pa—
pers in the following lively, and woman’s
fashion: _
Wasuixerox, D. 0., March 12, 1880.

Hon. B. H. Hill, U. .8. Senator :

Sm :' I am informed upon what I consider
reliable authority, that you are daily in the
corridor and ante-rooms of the Senate de—
nouncing me in most ungentlemanly and un-
called for terms for having acted as counsel
for Miss Raymond, a Georgia woman, who,
charged you with having been the father of
her child. I have even learned that you dc .
sign prosecuting me for conspiracy,blackmail,
etc. My object in addressing you this letter is
for the purpose of assuring you that I am
ready to meet that or any other accusation
which you may bring against me. Even
though I may fail to substantiate, the allega—
tion of Miss Raymond. who seems to have
been tampered with by you or some of your
strikers, yet, if given the opportunity,I think
I can clearly establish the fact that you are
not a Joseph in morality, and that more than
one Washingtou,family mourn and refuse to
be comforted in consequence of your actions,
Let me remind you, sir, that you are not in
Georgia, where you can bully and make peo-
ple afraid, but that you are in ‘a community
of law, order and decency, where you will
be made to respect the laws. I therefore re-
quest that you cease your vapory denuncia-
tions and meet me as one lawyer should
meet another,with law and jacfs in the forum
and not with scandal and vituperation, which
prove nothing but the weakness of the man
who uses such meanslto influence the public
mind. You are invited to proceed against me
in the courts if you feel yourself aggrieved.
I might also add, if necessary, that I could
call by name a family recently residing on
Capitol Hill. whose sixteen year old daughter
you have ruined, whose younger brother you
have made a page in the Senatc,another broth
er you .havc placed in the signal office. and
for whose father you have procured a posi-
tion in the Post Office Department, the six-
teen year old daughter sportiug a gold watch
that you presented her. In the language of
“Pinaforc,” you would provide for all of
this girl’s “sisters and her cousins and her
aunts.” did opportunity present itself.

Respectfully. o BELVA A. LO0Kwdon.

Ex-Co'nfederate Senator Ben. Hill is a man
of family and nearly sixty years old, and
seems to have too literally followed in the
footsteps of far too many Southern states-
men who occupied seats in Congress before
the war. With Pitt Kellogg and the aveng—
ing Mrs. Lockwook after him, we can only
exclaim again, “And may the Lord have
mercy on your soul."

PERSONALS.

Gen. Hawley and McMahon had a lively
tilt in Friday's debide on the.U. S. Marshal's
Bill. J. D. Bates, our efficient and popular
Conn. U, S. Marshal has been reappointed
and confirmed. Wallingford’s old postmas-
ter_has been reappointed "and will be confirm-
ed. He was opposed by Gen. Hawley and
championed by Senator Platt. Ex-Congress-
man Kellogg and Hon. A. H. Tenny returned
to Conn. Thursday evening. John E. Earle,
of New Haven, has also been here. Miss
Mary Anderson, who it may be known was
assisted in her education by one of Norwalk’s
most liberal citizens, concluded a two week’s
engagement here last night, at the National
Theatre. She has fairly captivated all
Washington play goers by her conceded
talent and charming stage qualities. ,

The daughters of Secretary Evarts, Miss
Mary and Miss Louise, were at New Haven
yesterday to attend an exhibition at Yale.
Their Brother, Sherman Evarts, made the
address to his class.

Senator and Mrs. Blaine gave the second
of their series of receptions last evéniug.

.Hon. John B. Hawley, Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury, resigned that position yes-
terday, to take effect at the end of the month.
Mr. Hawley is a candidate for governor of
Illinois, and resigns in order that he may
enter actively into the campaign in Illinois.
He was born at Newtown, Conn, his parents
removing to Illinois in his boyhood. It has
been decided to appoint in his stead Hon. J.
K. Upton, at present chief Clerk of ~the
Treasury Department, and who is from New
Hampshire.

Everyone here is disgusted and growling
about the weather, we having had a. whole
week of storm and two days of snow. The
blooms in the parks look sick and discourag~
ed enough. As-ever, B.

here to compare with that given at Music
Hall on Thursday evening. Fanny Daven—

 

port appeared as Mabel Renfrew in Daley’s

standard play, “Pique,” and was suppdrtcd
by an excellent company, giving excellent
satisfaction.

 

March promises more snow than we had
all last winter. On Tuesday, and again _on
Thursday we had very respectable snow
storms, but the snow remained on the ground
but a short time. The air is chilly, and other

snow storms will probably come soon. The-

line storm is about due, and may blow in be-
fore the weck is out. The prospect of a cfop
of ice is growing smaller day by day. ‘

 

The good people in Branchville and George-
town are said to be quite excited over the
finding of new beds of feldspar in that vicini-
ty, of very rich quality. ' In some places it is
found in layers under a white quartz, and is
easily mined. The interest thus awakened
has caused a fresh examination of many
places where such deposits are liable to be
found, and some enthusiasts even dream of
finding something more valuable.

 

St.’Pa-ul’s Church.

_ The Rev. Dr. Harwood, of Trinity church,
New Haven, is to preach at St. Paul's on

The steamer Adelphi demonstrated last
week that she is fully able to run on the ra-
duccd time and ' make sure connections.
Soon as the weather becomes milder she will
easily make the trip in two hours and forty

Her passengers will have the satisfaction of
not being passed by other boats. ’

D. R. Locke’s (Nasby) Widow Bedott was
presented at Music Hall last Wednesday
evening by Neil Burgess and a good com—
pany. The play was very extravagant, in
fact a“‘roaring farce” from beginning to end,
keeping the audience in laughter about all
the time. '

 

 

_ O
The County Tax.

We stated last week, that the town of
N orwalk had been called upon to pay a
County tax bf $5,593 22, and that this amount
was largely in excess of the usual amount.
We are now informed by members of the
Board of County Commissioners that three-
quarters of this heavy tax is for the purpose
of paying the bonds of the county which
become due on the first of July and which
were issued ten years ago to pay for the new
jail. The tax will raise $50,000, of which
$40,000 will be required for the payment of
the bonds. As we understand it, this pay-
ment wipes out the long-standing debt, and
therefore County taxes in the Future should
be decreased at least the amount of yearly
interest paid on the bonds heretofore. The
commissioners claim that the tax for current
ézpenses is less this year than last, the assess-
ment of‘Norwalk being some $200 less. The
ordinary expenses of the county average al—
most $8,000 per‘year. While it will be hard

 

for the several towns to pay this large tax,

it will be better than paying interest indefin-
itely on the bonds and a decided relief to
knew that the expensive jail has finally been
paid for. In this connection it might be well
to ask if Bridgeport performed all it prom—
iscdwhen the jail was moved from Fairfieid.
Norwalk made liberal offers to the county
at that time, and would have stood by their
promises. ‘

As a matter of general interest we give be-
low the amounts paid by this town for Coun-
ty taxes during the pasi§teu years :—1871,—
$3,312.66; 1872—5233191 66; ISIS—3,370.70;
Imp—$6,695 15; 1877—$1,639.69; 1878—
$l,639.69; 1879~$1,639.69 ; 1880—$5,593.

, Minority Representation.

Some of the Hartford and New 'Haven
papers are indignant because it is proposed
in the legislature to carry Over to next year
a bill to abolish minority representation, and
want the bill killed at once. Tlicy'strongly
advocate the retaining of the present law.
and say that it is right and just. Perhaps it
is in theory, but in practice it has been
found to work’very bad in ‘this‘ part of the
State, at least. One great evil is that it‘
makes the party caucus far more important
than the general election, making the caucus
unmiualion equivalent to an election. Men
can manipulate a party caucus, and by. this
not secure election who could never bc‘elect‘ed
at. the polls, and when thus nominated
it is utterly impéssiblc to defeat them no
matter how unpopular they may be.~
In this manner bad men get in office,
and the people cannot help themselves.
In this way men distateful to the entire com-‘
munity have captured ofiices and can co'n-.
tinue doing so year after year as long as
caucus is made King over the people. Other
evils are worked by the law in this vicinity
of which we have not the time and space to
speak. That the law may work well in some
places we do not dispute, and we would like,
to see the minority fairly represented in all
cases if it could be properly done, but we
fear the present plan will work very much
the same as “Civil Service Reform." Again,
has the State power to restricts man‘s
right to vote, and say that he shall vote. for
only so many out .of so many '1’ .It is gener-
ally belicVed that the average voter has the
divine right to vote for every-name on the
ticket. Give the matter full consideration,
Messrs. legislators, even if it doesgo over.

CITY ITEMS.

BY OUR LOCAL REPORTER.

 

Last'Thursday evening, a delegation from
the Norwalk and South Norwalk-Reform
Association, went to Bridgeport on invitation

from Samaritan Temperance Association of ._

that place to. take part. in a temperance de-
monstration by the members of that society.
About 200 of the nfiambers left this city on
the 6:40 train, and on arriving in Bridgeport
were met at the depot by that society and
escorted to St. John’s Hall, which was
crowded The meeting was an interesting
and spirited one throughout, about '60 sign—
ing the pledge. After the‘close the members
were escorted to the rooms of the Good Sa~
maritans and partook of a fine collation Dre;
pared by the ladies. All say they had a nice
time. '

A delegation of the Reform Association
will conduct a temperance meeting at Five
Mile River, Monday evening,at' the Methodist
church. ~ . .

Last Monday, Councilman Donovan was
arrested for violating the Sunday liquor law.
He was brought before Justice Benton and -
asked for an adjournment of the case till
yesterday, which was granied. On Tuesday
Pat Corcorau was arrested on the same charge.
He was found guilty and fined $40 and costs
and 30 days imprisonment. He appealed
and was required to give bonds in $500, but
the [justice finally decided to omit his im—
prisonment if he would pay his fine and costs
amounting to $53.98 which he did.

. The post ofilce is to be moved to the corner
of Railroad Place and Washington Street, to
the store formerly occupied by Plaisted the
druggist, he havinglremoved to the new be-
tel building. We think this is a good loca-
tion. ‘ '

Quite a number of the scholars of the
Franklin Street school are detained at home
with the mumps. .

Mr. N. C. ’Ely has" raised the roof of his
handsome house on Moss Hill, which adds
to its beauty.

Mr. H. Thiele, the. post office newsman,
we understand, will cecupy one of the stores
in the new hotel building.

Mr. Woodward has been tearing away and
re-building the old Ely place on Main Street
and we understand will extend Monroe Street,
down through his property making a number
of fine building lots.

The Adelphi was unable to make her up
trip‘ last Thursday and Saturday owing to
the very rough weather on the Sound, but
camoup in the morning of the next day early
enough to make her down trip.

 

From the Mansfield Herald.
At the Home of Sherman.
"While we do not disparage the character
and ability of any as irants we do most confi-

dently claim that r. Sherman is in every
‘respect the best qualified, and at the same
time the most available candidate now prom-
inently before the public.

“And while we shall of course hold our—
selves bound to support the nominee of the
Republican party, we shall labor most earnin-
ly and faithfully for the nomination and elec-
tion of our candidate, our distinguished
towusman, Ohio's favorite son, the Hon.John
Sherman.”

The above very modest but fitting claim
from Secretary Sherman's home newspaper,
will find a hearty response herein Norwalk,
where the families of both. the father and
mother of our eminent Financial Minister
had thcir origin and residence, for many year’s
and where their} descendants still live and
constitute many of our most influential and
worthy citizens. Connecticut and especially
Fairfield County,L has more than a general in-
terest in the Hon. John Sherman.

5The wonderful “Multiplex" telegraph in-
vention was recently exhibited in ’Hartford,
and was pronounced a grand success, that
would surely work a revolution in the tele—
graph business. An operator, however, who
did not believe in the performance of impos—

' siliililies, pushed his investigations so far

that he discovered the whole thing to .be an

ingenious fraud, ' by: which the .little French

inventor had swindledzcapitaiists.

A correspondent of the Springfield Repub-
lican speaking of the withdrawal. on account
of :the theological views of. the Rev. Dr.
Childs from the Theological Seminary in
Hartford, (the institution which Dr. 'E. Hall
of Norwalk, Dr. Atwater of Fuiriield,vand
Dr, Hewitt of Bridgeport was formerly so
interested,) says: ‘ .

“Though the “old- theology" which he re—

resents is not generally accepted here, he is
think, universally regarded as an honest
and faithful exponent of“ the views that the
seminary was established to maintain and
apart from which it has uoright to exist.
Tubs far there does not seem to havcbecu
much gained by his withdraWul. It may not
mean much—or it may—that the students
which last year numbered nearly 40 have
fallen ofi this year to a - little over 20 ; but it
does mean something when, as we happen to
know three or four important wills that had
been drawn in favor of *the'seminary have
been revoked. And the‘ question is likely to
be asked with increasing emphasis if the sem-
inary has not an objectand policy,clearly and
sharply distinct from New Haven and An—
dovcr, whether there is any sense or any
piety in expending from $20,000 to $80,000
a year to graduate front 3 to 10 students,
when ten, times that number could be grad—
uated at the same cost of other seminaries,
where there is plenty 'of room for them.” ' ‘
Norwalk has contributed in various ways

to this seminary in the past.

There is a rumor in England that James
Garden Bennetthas hired an English noble-
man to manage his stable for him.

ExéGovernor Jewell has received a num—
ber of invitations .to deliver his lecture on a
“Winter in Russia’,’ in towns throughout the
state. ' ‘

forevermore be honored in his calling, for

Fast Day Proclamation.

By his Excellency Oharles B. Andrews, Gor-
ernor of the State of Connecticut,

. A. PBOQLAMATION.

I appoint Friday, the 26th day of March,
current, to be observed throughout this state
as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer.

And on that day may all the people of the
state gather with one accord in their places
of worship and diligently draw nigh unto
God that He may draw nigh unto us. For
the eyer of the Lord are over the righteous
‘and His cars are open unto their prayers.
He showed His word unto Jacob, His statutes
and His judgements unto Israel.

Putting aside every fear of, man, trusting
alone in Omnipotencc, let the high praises of
God be in our month. In meekness,confess-
ing our sins, let us ask for seed time and bar-
vest, for fruitful seasons, for His care of the
widow and the fatherless, that we may be
shielded from pestilence, that the sick may
be re tored, and that the desolate may be
comforted; and, more than all else, let us
ask that the Dayspring from on high may
visit us to guide our feet into the way of
peace.

Given under my hand and the seal of the'
state, at the capitol in Hartford, this 11th
A}... day of Marc'h,‘in the year of our

Pawtucket is the largest town in America.
Its population is about 19,000, and it has
steadily refused to incorporate as a city, and
in spite of all temptations to join the munic-
ipal corporations it remains a town, and
sticks to town government—Exchange.

Norwalk has a population of something
over 13,000, and yet it takes three different
kinds of government to rule her people, and
the tax payers employ ova one hundred pub-
lic servants to do this service. Why can’t
we initiate a local runnicipal reform by reves-
ting the entire town limits with the old—time
form of economical and efficient government?
