Important Railroad Specula-
tions.
A significant Associated Press dispatch
last week stated that President Sloan of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Rail-
road Company had, ln an interview. denied
all knowledge of or connection with the re-
cent railroad surveys made through the shore
towns'of Fairfield county. ‘ This company’s
connection with our latest parallel survey
was very widely reported, and, although the
engineers during their prolonged stay here at
the Adams House were very non committal,
yet enough was learned from them to reveal
the fact that it was ‘no idle child’s play that
engaged their attention, but serious work,
made in an earnest determination. to find the
most feasible line for the construction of a
railroad. Butaii efforts to learn from them
. what particular syndicate or corporation
was behind them promoting the enterprise,
were fruitless. Recent developments, how-
ever, make it more than probable that this
new railroad scheme is directly connected
with the great Canadian Through Line from
Chicago and the West to the Atlantic sea-
board and New York City, which was
outlined in these columns a few weeks since.
This vast railroad combination, it is report-
ed. has practically secured the Vermont
Central and Connecticut River roads down
to Springfield, and, by an arrangement with
the New London and Northern Railroad,
obtained an outlet to the sea at New London
by which its vast bulk of European freights
can be shipped to Liverpool and the ports
of the Old World' at much lower; rates than
can possibly be done by rival lines from the
port of New York. This freight feature, it
is claimed, gives the new enterprise a great
advantage over its New York Central,
Pennsylvania, or New York and Eric
competition. both in reaching New York
and European ports. but it cannot compete
successfully with the above rival roads in
the matter of its passenger carrying trade.
It is now believed that it is for the purpose
of securing such a through passenger outlet,
that a “ Parallel” will be built from Spring-
field to New York, and these elaborate and
thorough surveys are believed to be directly
in the interest of this scheme. This view,
we see, is substantiali y adopted by the alert
and sagacious President of the Consolidated
road in a press interview. given as_ follows:
“President Watrous said on Saturday that
“he thought the surveys were of no more
“account than the previous parallel surveys
“had been as he could not see how it could
“be for the interest of the Delaware, Lacks-
“wanna and Western railroad to construct a
“road to compete with the Consolidated.
“The Vermont Central road might be inter-
“ested in the project and it was far more
“likely that the Vermont road would attempt
“the survey.”
If the reader will recall what was published
in regard to the Canadian scheme for a New
York outlet, and then take the railroad maps
of the Vermont Central and the Connecticut
River roads, it will atonce be seen how
practicable and feasible and, indeed, how
indispensable to the .consummation of their
plans, such a new line of railroad becomes.
This would be cheaper and better in every
respect, than the first project of cuttings
line through the southwest corner of Massa-
chusetts to intersect the Housatonic Railroad,
as at one time proposed, and thence by a
short cut from New Milford to Danbury and
over the Danbury & Norwalk Railroad to
New York. .
Had the Shepaug Road been run to
Litchfield sn'a. New Milford, instead of by its
present Jess feasible and more expensive
Southern route, it is a well known fact'that
arrangements would have been eagerly made
to send through Housatonic cars to the city
of New York over our Danbury & Norwalk
road. And were this outlet now in operntion‘y
it wouldhave had a decided influence inde-
termining this Canada and Central Vermont
combination to connect with the upper.
Housatonic and. make New York Cltyover
that‘ road and the Danbury do Norwalk.
The distance from New York of the
Bridgeport terminus of'thc Hohsatonic, it is
said, was deemed so farEast as to lead to
an abandonment of the proposed, plan of
utilizing either the .Housatonic .or Danbury
roads and hence, the probabilities are that
the Vermont Central is really at the bottom
' of a new line between New York and
Springfield. In well-informed railroad cir-
cles it liswdeeme'd certain that some new
railroad is to be very soon» built through this
section of our State, and that it is not‘ in any
way related to our local and familiar
“ Parallel” of so many years standing.
Moreover, this new road. it is positively as-
serted, will be built, as it easily can be, un-
der our present General ‘Railroad Law
without any application to .the Legislature-
for a special charter. If these railroad spec-
lllations'are well-grounded in truth. it would
team the part of wisdom for our " Parallel”
friends to join interests with them and thus
bidin the construction of such a new and
vastly important through artery of rail com-
municatidn between the great West and the
far East. At all events important movements
in this connection . will be fully developed
within a very short time.
In the meantime we are glad to say that
we are mixed by the managers of our little
- Danbury & Norwalk Railroad, that whatever
combinations among railroads may be made ,
in the future, the Danbury & Norwalk shall
be run first and foremost in the interest, and
for the accommodation and benefit of its local
patrons.
Three Cheers and a Tiger.
Our Republican friends in New Haven did
better at their last election than theysup-
posed. The Democratic candidate for Mayor
was declared elected the day after the elec-
tion, and acerti'ficate'wasgiven him. Now
it. appears, however,‘that in one of the wards
ninety-om ballots were _ counted twice, and
the correction of the error gives the Mayor-
alty to Mr. Les‘vit,th‘e Republican candidate.
Further ‘than this, the Democratic ballots,
wercf printed with black back-ground and
whiteletters,.rnaking them capable of being
distinguished 'at a glance, and the legality of
the said ballots is to be tested in the courts.

cratic stronghold has elected a Republican

The rude sundering of soImany such per-

ber’s mind.who.extended the right hand of

In the House, a report from the Ways and
Means Committee was made by Representa-
tive Haskell. recommending an immediate
repeal of all Internal Revenue taxes. except
those on' tobacco and distilled spirits. It is
believed that the tax on the lower grades of
tobacco will also be reduced, while from 100
to 150 millions of dollars must be appro-
priated annually to pay the soldier pensions
already voted. All sensible and patriotic
members concede that it would be criminal
folly to . take off any of the present tax on
spirits. On the other hand, it lsalrosdy
given out lby certain Democratic members
“of the baser sort," that thereahallbeno
repealing of taxes at all until after the meet-
ing of the next Congress, when their own
party can lay claim to all the credit of tax
reductions and repeal. The Ways and
Means Committee barely obtained a majority
in favor of the bill to abolish the tobacco
tax. Seven members agreed to the bill,
while six opposed it. The minority report
against the bill is a much stronger document
than the majority report recommending its
passage, and will command the greater sup-
port of' the two in Congress. The reason
submitted by the majority for the abolition
of the entire tobacco-tax is that the law is an
invidious discrimination against the grower
of tobacco; that as the government places
no restriction upon the sale of any other agri-
cultural product, it ought, at the earliest
practicable, day, to relieve tobacco, which is
one of our staples; and in the opinion of the
committe a, the time has come when this tax
can be repealed. The minority take the
positidn that the Government must, for a
few years at least. continue to depend in
part for its revenue upon internal taxation,
and that the two sources which can-best
support the imposition of taxes"_ar‘e (Retinal

Senator Merrill introduced yesterday an
amendment. to the House bill for the reduc-
tion of internal revenue taxation now_pend_-.,
ing in the Senate. It is in reality a tall!
bill. It incorporates the entire schedules
recommended by the tend-commission as a
substitute for the present tariff asfentbodied
in sections 2,491 to 2,516 inclusive, of the
revised statutes. Mr. Morrill’s amendment
\
also includes the following, which is pro- '
posed as section 2,409 by the Commissioners:
SBCI‘iON' 2,499.—There shall be levied, col-
lected and paid on each' and every non-
enumersted article whichbears a simllitude,
either in material, quality, texture, or the
use to which it may be applied, to any
article enumerated in this title as chargeable
with duty, the same rate of duty which ll
levied and charged on the enumerated article
which it most resembles in any of the partic-
ulars before mentioned; and if the non-
enumerated article equally resembles two or
more enumerated articles on which diflerent
rates are chargeable, there 'ahall be levied,
collected and paid on such non-enumerated
articles the same rate of duty as is chargeable
on the article which it resembles paying the
highest duty; and on all articles manufac-
tured from two or more materials the duty
shall be assessed at the highest rates at which
any of its component parts may be_cbarge-
able, provided,‘that non-enumerated articles
similar in material and quality and texture,
and the use to which they may be applied to
articles on the free list, and in the manufac-
ture of which no dutiabie materials are used,
shall be free. ‘
The amendment was referred to the finance
committee and ordered to be printed. The
internal revenue bill was also ordered recom-
mitted to the finance committee.

- PENSIONS. ' -
Secretary Platt has been resolutely con-
tending for the passage of a resolution cell-
ing upon the Commissioner of Pensions for the .
probable amount of money that the pending '
bill will require, which gives an increase of
pay to pensioners whohave lost an arm and
log, to. Also for a statement of the number
of such disabled soldiers now borne upon the
pension rolls. The Senator’s desire is to get
at the totals, and let the Senate act under-
etandingly in the matter and not “go it
blind,” as it did in the Arrears of Pension
Act. When that bill was before Congress,
it was'first stated that it would not require
more than eight or ten millions of dollars.
Then the estimates of its friends were
stretched up to twenty andtwenty-five mil-
_lions, and the highest total its promoters ever
would admit that it was likely to take from
the Treasury was forty millions. It is now
known that it‘ will cost the nation at least
five hundred millions, and SenatOr Platt says
that Congress and the country ought to act
understandingiy, and to know what amount
of money they are voting away. Great
numbers of the best soldiers in the country
protest against.“ indiscriminate and ill-
digested increase of. the pension appropria-
tions, under the conviction that to swell the
present vast volume of such appropriations
will surely result in the end in a reaction in,
the public sentiment of the taxpayers of the
country, and a disposition to curtail the
amounts already voted deserving and neces-
sitous pgllsidners. The opinion is nowhere
more pronounced that a “halt" must be

did with the moneys so received, where and

Senate at the earliest pomible time.

Now, Mr. Editor, where were our eyes
endjearsl True, there was nfypsrticular
excitement enact the election itself while it
assisting place, but after the result had
been ascertained did you not see that “ take-
me-bome-I-am-so-slek" look of despair that
settled o’er the great “ unwashed ” faces of
the members of our pet political organization.
f‘Tas PHALANX f" If you did not see
that look, youde a sight beside which
the transit of Venus and even the “ Greatest
Show on Earth " paled into a pigmean
insignificance. I was one of the jubilant
majority, and my heart was filled with
rejoicing over the glorious-result our Borough
Republican “ Silk Stockings " had achieved;
but when I saw that look and heard an
“ unwashed" opponent exclaim behind me,
“Howly Moses! Phat the divll will we do
wid dat phlag l” I must confess that I had
room for a bit of curiosity to know what
that remark about the " phlag." meant.
Knowing full well that should a suspicion of
our political identity dawn upon the mind of
our friend Pat. all our chances of knowledge
and perhaps a good fat item would be
spoiled, I put on a most lugnbrious look.
and tapping the “'Mirican Citizen " on the
shoulder, whispered, “It’s a bad day for us,
my la " .“'Tls that. your honor, and I
towld Mr. Rayquaw he’d bitter not git that
phlag till the ’llction came off; but they'd
not listen at all, at all; and now, phat shall

'aaid: “ Let's see, Pat, what flag was that r"

‘ Hooray, Patsy. me bye! That’s phat we

gave Mr. Rayquaw a whole lot of money an’

powers, it's enough to make a man athrike

heavy sigh, meandercd down the hill and up
Main street. where he was last seen trying to.
induce a fellow-countryman to “ take the
dom’d phlag over to the Gazer-rs office, for
sure it will do than more good now than us."
And now. Mr. Editor, I have given you the
story as it was given me, and in conclusion

“ Old Seventeenth Regiment " departed this
life. Patrick Purden, who enlisted in Com-
pany F in August, 1802, died very suddenly
in the cars of the N. Y. and N. H. Railroad
Company, of heart disease. He was a faith-
ful soldier, and was severely wounded in the
feet at the battle of Gettysburgb. Upon his
discharge, in August, 1865, he immediately
entered the service of the Consolidated Road.
"Pat" will be missed by his comrades at
their annual gatherings, as he has been a
regular attendant at their “ reunions," and
his presence was always noticeable by his
native Irish wit. Poses to his ashes.

malicious or “cranky" person either in the
church or common who frustrates all

constantly receiving them but treated them
as they deserved. viz, by destroying without

who among others was talked of as a suite-

pained and annoyed by receivingpostal cards
containing scurrilous matter and newspapers
with the margins covered with writin of a
similar character. Later, when the c arch
exteaud the call to Rev. . C. S. Williams of
New Haven. he too received a letter from
probably the same pen. Not the ministers
only but prominent members of the church
were treated to the same notice. Two weeks
ago at a meeting the Rev. Mr. Mcserve re-
ceived a flattering vote and be, too, was

Another Editor Assaulted.
On Wednesday morning last. Mr. Wm. B.
Palmer while waiting at the Ssugatuck De-
pot to take the train for Norwalk, wasss-
saulted by Mr. P. Murphy, station agent at.
Saugatuck. The fracas was short and hot,
Mr. Palmer receiving a hard blow onthe
back ofjhis head from the eflects of which
he has not yet fully recovered. The assault
was the outcome of an article recently pub-
lished by Palmer relative to some domestic
matters of Mr. Murphy. The fracas ec-
curred in Hopkin’s saloon near the depot.
While we do not express our opinion upon
station agent who will leave his station when
two trains are overdue, and proceed to a
liquor below to engage in a: broil, is hardly
a person to be intrusted with that important
position. ' ‘
[Later : Mr. Murphy was arrested on
Thursday evening and gave ball in sum of
.100 for appearance at court Monday (yes-
terday) morning, when he plead guilty and
was sentenced to pay a fine of 85 and costs,
amounting in all to 8140!.

are convinced that greater ber'gainsare oflered

said of Sealskln Sacques and Dolmans, for
