WGAZETTE? ~1'-rutli above all things.’ FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 14, 1896 # Entered in the Post Ofiice as a Newspaper. Piano Contest. In the contest for the EvsnrNG Ga- zn'r'r’s 8400 piano, all of the contest- ants are in the same position as yester- day. Promote from'the Ranks. It is to be hoped that Robert ltoose: velt Pearson when he offers his resolu- tion at the next council meeting, “to proceed to the election of a captain of the South Norwalk police force,” will suggest to his colleagues that the con.- ing appointment be made from the ranks and in the line of succession. While Fire Chief Baker, who is said to .be a candidate, would make a most ex- cellent officer, it would hardly be fair to the present members of the force to go outside and bring in a man to place over their heads. ' This would be particularly true in the case of Detective G. Washington Gladstone who in length of service stands at the head of the entire force. 'lhe detective during his term of ser- vice has served the city faithfully, and it would be unjust to place an“outsider” over him however good an officer the new man might make. Whatever action may be taken by the counei‘, we believe that Robert Roosevelt, Pearson is not the man gto L overlook the faithful services of anyone, and that when he irjects his pruning knife under the scalp of Captain Joseph Lame Colegrove he will temper the stroke with the recommendation that the line of deserved promotion be ob served. “Bright Men Sat On.” That is the way the phenominally bright Washington correspondent of the C. A. P. puts it. He refers of 'ceurSe to the old time practice and un- written law of Congress which relegates new members to the rear, and closes their months in event of temptation to crate, while in their adolescent stages. .V This is much like the usual college plan of juniorsand seniors forcing, fresh men from the campus fence. I The present Congress, however, is so unwontedly stocked with new and “ bright men,” that the old time rule” imposing silence upon them, has been rent in twain, and. smashed to smith- ereens, as it were, for the good reason that many of these "bright men” came to Congress, fairly staggering under the weight of empire arid big to burst-,~ ing with suppressed speeches Both in Senate and House, sad havoc has been made in the ancient re- pressive custom as to new members, by the repeated oratorical “breaks” ofthis new contingent of “bright men," despite the efforts of old members. This is the way the Connecticut As- soaiated Press correspondent states his case: ' “There is a disposition on the part of the older members to ‘sit on’ everynew member that tries to become too promi- nent, and from that time on, the man is ft. rever doomed in the House.” The only member of the Connecticut Congressional delegation who has broken over this old and astringent rule and delivered his speech, is our _ own honored and cherished Congress~ man Hill, and the GAZETTE is prepared to wager a bushel of Norwalk clams that Mr. Hill is not going to get “sit,” or “sot” or “sat” on, or “doomed,”— not by a large majority. Hill is not that kind of a man and Congressman. He spoke his piece on the floor of the , House and it was eloquent, earnest and strcng, and won the plaudits of his fel- low members. When next he speaks, as surely he will, his remarks will win the same homage and tumultuous ap- plause, for the reason that Hill is an in- tensely earnest man in all he says. o Plenty of Time. Our own Congressman Hill has not succumbed to this Republican epidemic of volunteering for the Presidential nomination.—News. All very true John, but it is to be remembered that there is considerable time yet to elapse ere the meeting of the St. Louis conventior, also that our Congressman is that kind of a hustler who is pretty sure to bring down the game he goes for. _. . o >—..—.———__-__. «Advertise in the ‘(iazert‘efl’ j No Change in the-Situation at Wadhams’ Wall Street, Market. Constable Samuel Ireland is still in possession of Wadhams Wall street market. As exclusively published in these columns yesteria‘y, he took pos- session at noon by virtue of a warrant of attachment .in favor of a New York creditor of Mr. Wadhams’. V ‘ Sheriff Loyon had prevxously taken possession of the market onaSimilar writ in favor of a creditor from'Groton, and placed the same in charge of Henry C. Smith, as keeper. During the tem- porary absence of Smith, Ireland ar- rived on the scene and as above stated took possession and was' busily engaged in taking an inventory of the'stock when Keeper Smith returned. ’ The latter, naturally, was much cha- grined, but of course could not help himself, as Ireland was lawfully in possession. _ I The doors of the market were open forashort time this morning, and a report was current that Wadhams had quit claimed the same to his New York creditors who had placed the attach- ment. The doors remained open but a short time before they were again closed and locked. It is understood that Attorney Hon- 'necker who issued the first Warrant oi attachmen‘, said this morning, that he would force Mr. Wadhams into insol vency. It is reported that an attempt was made to put an attachment Ll] Mr. Wadhams’ horse, but when the officer went after the animal he found the stable empty. The horse had been sold to J. E. Woodhull before the oflicer’s visit. Apparently the war has but com. menced and will be continued until tne bitter end. Mr. Wadhams says that the market Will be re-opened this afternoon under the management of Cunningham Bros. ... _..____.__ Muggs’ Landing. The Ellinwood Players had a stormy night to contend With last night but were greeted With a fair audience. “Muggs’ Landing” was presented in a pleasing manner and the specialties were received with favor. It was the fourth night of the company’s appear- ance here, and it has been greeted by good houses every night. ' A bed-room suit was given away last night, which went to Richard Hendricks who held the lucky number of 2485. The “Two Orphans” will be presented to-night. Matinee io-morrow afternoon, at which every child will be given a prize. ___..._..._.—.____ I —Fins butter 25 cents per pound at Beits & Farrington’s J 22-tf STILL m POSSESSION.

Kidney trouble, at any stage, is serious and neglect of the symptom means neglecting the disease. Curing a Backache means cur- ing diseased Kidneys and reliev. ing them of congestion. This can be done in the early stages. Buker’s Kidney Pills are specific for the cure of Backache and Kidney trouble, if taken in time. It’s a vegetable remedy. Drug- gists sell them for so cents.
