every one has favored a submission of
the bill to'the people.
The following communication on this
subject is appended: ’
Editor of the Sentinel: It would be a
devilish impeachment of the good judg-
ment of the voters of Norwalk if the so
called town court bill is permitted to be
come a law without first having been re
ferred to the people. If our senator and
representatives in the General Assembly
have any doubt about public senti-
ment on the question, they have only to
go in and out among their constituents
to learn where they stand on this matter.
When the lawyers, and the newspapers
through which they speak, tell us it
is only a“clique" that wants the bill
tahen to the polls, they, must know they
uive utterance to what is uncondition-
ally falsc. If there is a set of men

ing to their own sweet choosing; it is
they who have cuddled the judiciary
committee at Hartford,snd it is they
who are now pulling every wire in or
der to have the bill lowed upon the
people. It is enough to make oue‘s
blood tingle with indignation to have the
mil of the.pvople thus trampled upon.
lunderstand that Representative Rot
was is and has been from the outset,
wizhout cquivocotion, in favor of en-
trusting the destiny t-l'tho bill in the
hands of his constituents—a stand which
is rertmnly commendable. I am not
posted on the posiiion Senator Ferris and
Representative Keeler late in the mat-
ter; but of one thing I am ccrtain~thut
there is no means by which they could
more deeply ingraiiste themselves into
the good will of the voters of Norwalh
than by declaring themselves on the side
of lhe people whom they represent. 1
am also somewhat amazed that certain
members of the legal fraternity, men
who largely owe their shower-political-
ly. if not professionally~to the eull’rage
of the people. should be found at this
time opposing their brat interests. It
gives rise in a well-grounded suspicion
that the proverbial nigger is in the fence
somewhere.
Other matters involving the expendi-
ture of $3,000, of the taxpayers’ money,
and very after some much less than that,
are invariably taken to the people. either
In town meeting or at the polls. and
there would be a great upheaval if it
were not so.
I am not slow to admit that some im-
provement on the present justice system

posed to the proposed town court
bill. although a single-headed irlbllnal,
iteeemstome. would answer all pur-
poses and be a saving of expense. But I
do insist that the people be given an op.
portunitytoeaprees their will on the
queatloo; if the hill should become a law
without such an expression, it Awould he
