The Town Court.
We have known surprises, but never
more of a one than when. yesterday, Re—
pressutative Keeler deserted his collea-
gue end the people oi his town by chang
ingbis position on the town court bill.
Ir. Keeler opened the discussion by
stating that there had been great agita-
tion in the town oi Norwalk on the bill
linoshsadvooeted a submission oi the
Hi! to the people last Thursday, he said.
it had been on his mind by day and in
lib drama by night. He had consider-
edgeod masons ior the submission. but
better ones against it. Be had not
heard a word against the bill. but every-
body was in iavor oi it. The weight or
evidence had finally predominated
against submimion. because that would
mteblisb a dangerous precedent. hiany
things, be said, should be submitted to
the We. but this should not, because
the lawyers knew more about it than all
wmt unctiou he do
i
mended who should make such a bill
but the lawyers. He would not submit
the bill to the people because some might
find flaws in it and vote against it, but
the flaws and all should go if the lawyers
sayso. He stated.to support his posi-
tion. that two newspapers were agaihst
the amendment. one ior it, and one
neutral.
Where Mr. Keeler got his new light
hetweeulsst Thursday. when he voted
for the amendment, and yesterday,
when he spoke and voted against it, is
thegrealest surprise of all. lie said he
was honest when he voted ior the amend-
meet. but now he took a broader viow.
He was now so positive that the bill
ought to become a law that he would not
risk the uncertainty and dangers of a
vote at the people. and he believed it to
be his duty to make it a certainty,
whether the people wanted it or not
Ur. Keeler’s position on the amendment
has been suspected trons the first. It
has been a standing joke since the mat-
tI'bss been under consideration, that
wheneverho was asked by any oi the
jldlchry committee ll be iavorsd the
subm'bion clause, he has said "yes." and
wished. The interpretation oi that wink
i now understood.
Inkselsrsays his conversion is be-
oauss oi honest conviction. Bis stats-
mntmustgoiorwhatlt is worth. The
(action at a cause at a critical moment
always has and always will excite a sus-
picion oi an influence more .potent than
pueblo. Ir. Kesler's reierenos to a
great egitstlon,we think, was iar~ietched.

the bill was beiore the Senate was ht,
it is right still. The iacts remain u-
changed and the principles involved the
same. The bill ought now to be killed
or very ufuch modified. Ii it cannot
stand the test oi a lull consideration by
the people it ought not to be forced on
them.
We do not believe that hit. Keeler
consulted his constituents about the
matter. Instead oi showing strength be
has exhibited weakness. He has curried
isvor with a clique and insulted the
people. He has betrayed their confidence
and deserted his colleagues. To sustain
his position he has made misstatements.
ior the iacts were beiore him that proved
that the people he represented wanted
the bill referred to them. He has declar-
ed his lack of confidence in the people.
Mr. Keeler has made a bad record.
He has deserted the people ior a clique.
ii his hopes are based upon the clique,
we are sure he is doomed to disappoint-
ment. They have no iurther use ior
him. It is an easy matter to betray the
people. but it is hard to bear the odium
thereof.
Mr. Keeler had ior his supporters Rep
resentatives Judson, Gunn, Louneoury,
oi Darlen, and others—all lawyers but
Lounsbury. lir. Judson is either a very
iorgetiul or untruthiul man. He was a
memberoi the judiciary committee and
he said that only one person appeared
before the committee, and that a whole-
sale liquor dealer. When eased by iii-p—
resenrativo Rotten ii Councilman iliil-
lock had not appeared, he did recall the
fact, but could not recall any others. and
iorgot entirely the resolutions by the
South Norwaih Council. He made some
very silly remarks about mobs assailing
Mr. Rowan for the amendment. and yet
concluded that the people did not want
it. hit. Judson is a man at high
test when he speaks. tie is an aspir

bly to stand on its constitutional "p.
and dignity. The people of Nor wulh. a
cording to him. don't know enough to
know what they want as well as he «torts,
though he does not reside in the town.
l'he time may come when the people oi
Norwallr will iet hit. Judson know what
they think oi him.
Mr. Guun sneered at the peopleziie-
cloned the rrqurst oi South Norwslis's
Council not worthy oi consideration. and
tried to he iacetious over a very serious
matter. Mr Goon said he had been
told by a Norwalk man that a grand
juror oi the town had signed a hundred
complaints in blank ior the juror to pay
adebtbe owed the justice. A foolish
statement. to be sure, but made in earn-
est. Ii any Norwalk men know oi such
a thing he has been rsereant to his duty
in not making it known where it could
be investigated. lie is a coward to
make it as he did, and we believe he is a
liar. He certainly has insulted every
grand juror in the town by his cow-
srdlce. Without speciiyiog the person
he includes them all in his charges,
lir. (lune owes it to this town to give
the Mines oi the parties.
Representative Lounsbury was the
only layman who took a part in the dis-
cmion braid. Ir. Bowen. He. too.

surprised at Mr. Keeler'e change oi

was glad that Dir. Keeler had got settled
on one side oi the ienco. He contended
that the people should be given oppor
tnnity to vote on the bill. He .said they
