The DAILY GAZETTE’s gold watch, to
be presented to the most popular work-
ing girl In Norw a111, attracts much at-
tention and elicits g1 eat admiration, in
the show-window of Gregory’s Drug
Store. It is, indeed, a little beauty,
and a valuable and reliable article,
first—class in every respect, the case
being fine gold, elegantly chased and
ornamented, and the works are the
best Elgin movement. It is a stem—
winder and setter, with all the. latest
and most approved appliances, insuring
reliability and accuracy. There is no-
thing of the prize—package article about
it, as is usually the. case with similar
trophies in these voting Contests, where
gilded brass or composition cases e11—
close cheap Waterbury movements and
are palmed off as valuable prizes. The
GAZETTE’s gold watch is a costly and
genuine article, and a trophy of which
the favored winner will have just cause
to be, proud, both for its intrinsic value
and its sifinificance. Let the votes
come.

The ' discreditable and .discrediting
condition of things existing at Hart-
ford .is not a pleasant matter for a pa—
triotic citizen of Connecticut to con-
t’e111plate_.. One of the unique features
of the tangle, is the split in sentiment
both among democrats and republicans
as to the best way out of the ridicu-
A good
deal of light is let in on the republican

divergence in the following vigorous
reply of the Hartford Courant to the
New Haven Palladium, both papers be-
ing leading republican organs:
A WORD . WITH NEIGHBORS.
The New Haven Palladium misrepre-
sents the Courant’and the House com-
mittee when it says they say “Staub
should not be declared elected.” The
position of the committee is simply
this as we understand it: The late elec-
tion, by reason. of the abominable
ballot law that the Courant opposed
and the Palladium advocated, was alla
muddle. Upon the face of the returns
beyond dispute Staub seems , to be
elected The ordinary course wouldbe
to seat him, but the democrats have
asked for a general digging 11p of the
whole election: The republicans de—
sire only the truth and are ready for it,
and they pause before seating Staub to
see whether the democrats themselves
want to adopt the course they urged
tions out from under him.
If the Senate, which is the exponent
of democratic statesmanship in this
disgracing controversy, doesn’t want
to go below the surface then will be
the time to put Staub in. It is a per-
fectly open plan. . The report is in the
nature of a report of progress and the
the General Assembly acts on this re-
port.
The Palladium intimates that Staub is
balanced 1n the scales against a consti-
tutional conv ention and that the Gen-
eral Assembly has just the same right
to declare itself a constitutional con-
Now will
anybody intimate that this Legislature
could clap a new constitution upon us,
like a new suit of clothes which is what
the Hartford Times well likens these
ephemeral constitutions to? Of course
it couldn’t.
The only way this Legislature can
alter the constitution is by passing an
amendment in the House. Then at the
next session the whole Assembly can
pass it by two-thirds and then, if the
people want it, itis theirs. That is the
way; any other is a violation of the
constitution that already we have all
taken oath to support.
The Palladium also intimates that a
new constitution “would render the
election of a republican aspirant to the
Senate in 18' )3 somewhat problemati-
cal. " We hope to see the General As-
sembly republican in 1893, but the
Courant’s attitude as to the constitu-
tion is devoid of political, much more
than personal bias. Democrats, rock—
1'ooted, J effersonians, who hate the
words federalist andehig, stand right
beside us in support of the the town as
a political unit.

The Li’ll'lll'” Supper ’l'o-iu'g/ht.
The good ladies, who, with the com-
mendable motive of helping to elevate
the social, moral and intelectual status
of the youth of Norwalk, in supplying
a larger amount of entertaining, in—
structive and desirable reading matter,
for those who patronize our village
library, have arranged an attractive
and varied programme for to-night’s
entertainment at the Atheneeum.
The supper committee, has arranged
the following varied and appetizing
bill of fare and at the very reasonable
prices named:—
Fried oysters, - - - 15 cts.

It Is to be hoped that a cause so do-
serving, will be responded to by every
citizen. of Nor valk, who can possibly
be present or in any way contribute
the much needed material aid to the
Library, and encouragement to the
ladies who have labored so zealously
for the good cause.

(On Board Steamship San Juan.)
FRIEND BYINGTON :—As you thought
proper 'to make mention in your paper
of my intended'visit to California, and
also thought proper to give (.1110 an un-
merited title, I thought I would give
you a little of my experience thus far '
on the route. YVe left New York cm
on the Steam-
(pronounced Sema) weather fine. 'Woke
up Sunday morning and found it rain-
ing, wind east, blowing quite strong
and increasing all the while and sea
running quite high: before dinner time
began to feel rather qualmish: , did not
eat any supper—never before having
paid tribute to Neptune I could not
complain. Did not eat or drink much
on Monday, and not very hungry on
Tuesday. Meantime the seas from
Sunday night had been rolling, as they
say mountain high, but those who
ought to know best said 11 ore iift3
feet at least. 0111' Captain said we
struck into a cyclone 011 Sunday night.
and in order to keep from running into
the centre of it he ran nearly one hun-
dred miles out of his course to keep in
the outer edge of it, as these things run
in a circle. In fact Captain N ickerson
who was on board in the employ of the
Co. on the Pacific side said it was a
hurricane, and of course safer to keep
on the outer edge of it. Both admitted
it was a terrible gale. Our Captain
stood on the Bridge for eighteen hours,
not leaving it for sleep or rest, and said
it- was the worst storm he had been out
in since he had been on the line—which
was eighteen years. It was unques—
tionably a terrific storm, and yet I
gazed on those huge waves with more
of admiration than awe. The trouble
with me, and every other passenger
was to keep our feet ; in fact the men be-
longing to the ship found it difficult to
do so, and the storm coming on so
soon after leaving, the passengers had
not (as the saying is) got their sea legs
on, and those who ventured out of their
state rooms were tossed from one side
of the cabin to the other, several 10-
ceiving rather hard bumps, two or
three of which I got myself, and am
still sore from one of them. It was
difficult to keep the dishes on the table
vith the racks to hold them, and once
my cup of tea. 11' out across the table
and a portion of it up the sleeve of the
passenger sitting opposite me. The
severity of the stoIm can be judg ed
1v hen I inform you that on Sunday
night one of the Life Boats on the port
quarter, and about forty feet of the
sail was carried away, the w ater dashed
into the windows and bi oke the panels
of some cf the state rooms on the upper
deck forward, the doctor’s room being
one of them. The doctor said'I ought
to feel proud of myself as I stood it so
much better than many younger men,
that did not show themselves for two
or thr oe days, while I was up ever3
day, and all day at that. We arrived
at Aspinw all 01' Colon, about 8 a. 1n.
Sunday the 18th, and left about half-
past eight by rail for Panama, arriving
there abou thalf- -past ten, and 1v ere then
tr ansferred by small steamer to this
steamship where we have been laying
at anchor since our arri1al,receivi11g
freight brought so the ship in lighters
from the railroad as all freight has to
be. there being no docks where vessels
can lay to, to load or unload, thus
making more than double handling of
all f1e1<1 ht This was our day for sail—
ing, but it is doubtful if we get away
from how before noon to- morr ow. It
seems strange that in so short a time
one can be transferred from legions of
snow and ice, to perpetual summer
