On and after [anuary Ist, 189 3, we will ofler to all sub— scribers, the W EEK L Y Go?- ZETTE and the NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUJY'E for one year for $1.00, the price of the GAZETTE alone. The t’l/EEKL Y GAZETTE gives all the news of Town, County and State and as much Nation- al news as any other paper of its class. THE NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUWE is a No? TIONcAL FAMIL Y PA- PER, and gives all the general news of the United States and the world. Its “o‘lgricultural” department has no superior in the country. Its “Market Re- ports” are recognized authority in all parts of the land. It has separate departments for the “Family Circle,” and “Our Young Folks,” and its “Home and Society” columns are of the best. . Subscriptions may begin a» our time.

The more factories the more employ- ment, the more employees the more houses, stores, churches and schools, and the better market for the farmer. Protection to our industries is the golden hinge on which all turns.

Of course the GAZETTE does not pro- pose to gamble with any one, much less with one who it is notorious, would not play a game of chance, unless he felt sure he could introduce. dice loaded in his favor. The GAZETTE has steadily increased and is quite satisfac- tory to its owners and patrons. It is no cause of regret that our envious and always unhappy neighbor on Isaacs‘ street, has the nerve to put forth such tales of the fabulous wealth his paper is earning him, and it is truth to say that the GAZETTE, would be more sin- cerely glad, could it believe the Hour’s statements. . — --»———————< o >—-—-»—- ——--- The Newspaper of the People. Every experienced newspaper man knows that the evening newspaper is the most popular with the people, not only in our manufacturing communi- ties, but everywhere else where it can be had by mail or by train, says the Hartford Times. Throughout this state the largest circulation is in near ly every instance enjoyed by one or the other of the evening papers in each community, notablv so in the case of the Times in Hartford, the Register in New Haven, the American in Water- bury, the Journal in Meriden, the Bul- letin iu=Providence, and others that we might name. The reasons for the prosperity of the evening papers are obvious. They give the freshest and latest news of the day of their issue. and they come fresh from the press to the hands of the sub- scriber at an hour when there is time and leisure to read them. Shrewd bus- iness men, too, advertise most freely where they are satisfied tlfey will reach the greatest number of readers, and are assured, to a reasonable certainty, of the perusal of their advertisements in the leisure and restful evening hours. , In glancing over the newspaper field of Connecticut, the evidence of pros- parity among the daily newspapers which have sprung into existence in the last half dozen years are more no- ticeable with those which have chosen the evening field. Outside 'of the larger cities which furnish constituen- cies sufficiently diversified to afford succeeded. _Many of the morning en- terprises of the last half dozen years passed over into the evening field long ago; many others to that bourne where the high sheriff of the county assumes the triple functions of editor, proprie- tor and business manager. The evening newspaper is the news- paper of to-day. It is, the newspaper of the people.. «a-» The Great American Sham. Historv reeks with illustrations of the insincerity of those who pretend to advocate and admire the idea of civil service reform, says the Wash- ington Post. Shortly before the ex- piration of his term. Mr. Cleveland issued an order extending the civil 861". vice list so as to include the railway postal clerks. This was hailed with de- light and’approbation by the Demo- crats and violently criticised by the Republicans. Now, just as his term draws to its close, Mr. Harrison issues an order stretching the civil service mantle still further, and so protecting an additional number of Government employ es. This seems to be regarded favorably by the. same Republicans who denounced a similar act on Mr. C.eveland’s part. and to be condemned by the same Democrats who thought Mr. Cleveland 3 great and good pa- triot four years ago. There is but one rational inference to be drawn from all this, which is that neither party is honest in its effects- tion of devotion to so-callcd reform. They both use it as a catchpenny de- vice during great national campaigns, but at heart both despise it as a hum- bug and a fraud. The» Democrats tol- erate it only when it can be utilized to keep their henchmen in, and the Re- publicans vice versa. The institution was conceived in hypocrisy, it has been kept alive by cowardice, and. as has been abundantly demonstrated, its fruits is as often rotten as wholesome. When it transpired, through the me- dium of a Congressional investigation, that Lyman, the president of the com- mission, had been guilty of connivance in and encouragement of flagrantly corrupt practices by ofiicers of the board, what organ of' civil service re- form demanded his removal? When it became evident that the workings of the office Were crooked, what prophet of purity in government endeavored to make them straight? The record of the reform is one long chapter of transparent. disingenuous pretense. Nobody believes in it, and nobody is honest enough to say so. Even Mr. Harrison, who now. ampli- fies the list so heroically, has neVer yet found time to act upon the formal con- demnation of Lyman, which has. for the past eighteen months or more. been lying neglected upon his desk. In warp and woof, in every fibre and fila- ment of its texture, the thing is a mis- erable sham. ~09.-—r_— iERsEiALEs OF TH: TIMES. .

Since the law went in- to effect a few years ago, «t has been found very irksome by the liquor men, and is even pronounced very unsatis- factory by those opposed to the liquor interests. Any attempt to have the law repealed without the substitution of other restrictive legislation in its stead is, however, likely to be strenu- ously opposed by the State Law and Order league. - The secret meetings of the Liquor Dealers’ association throughout the state during th. past few months have, it is said been called to discuss this question. and the concensus of opinion among-the men engaged in the saloon business is that it should be repealed. That a powerful effort will be made to have the law repealed or amended seems very probable." g..___—_—.. Danbury Butchers. A cause of commotion ameng Dan- bury butchers is the result, says the News of the local wholesalers refusing to sell meat to butchers who are not members of the Retail Butchers’ Pro- tective association. Most of those are what are termed “Frost” butchers. A frost butcher is one who runs a market only in cold weather when it is not nec- essary to purchase ice. Ice is a very large item and is especially important, as its use is most necessary when trade is the dullest. The year-around retail- ers claim that they cannot compete with the frost butchers on account of the inequality of their eXpenses.‘ The frost butchers claim that their inability to buy meat from the Dan- bury wholesalers is due to an agree- ment between the whonesalers and Re- tail Butchers’ Protective association. Six of them went to South Norwalk one day this week and bought meat. One of the most prominent frost butch- ers in the city is very bitter inrhis denunciation of both the wholesalers and the association and threatens to prosecute the association for con- spiracy. He has taken legal advice on the matter. A A Commendable Act. A Borough gentleman during the fierce cold weather of the past week, noticed a lad on the street thinly clad and shivering. He took him to a cloth- ing store and purchased for him a warm overcoat. For modest reasons the generous man refuses to have his name published, but he has set a ver worthy example which might be to - lowed with beneficial results. Silch acts are truly commendable.

Not Law but Equlty- Judge Thayer decided an important point in the superior court yesterday. His decision makes employees of insol- vent concerns sure of the wages due them. - They are, he rules preferred creditors, and 'must be paid in full. The case which was tried and on which he rendered the decision was that of EV. W. Keyes vs. De Oxidized Metal 0. The defendant company went into insolvency some time ago. The court of probate appointed the plaintiff re- ceiver for the company. Among other claims presented to him were those of the employees of the concern. They claimed to be preferred creditors and entitled to the full amount due them. As the defunct firm were unable to pay all their claims in full the trustee did not wish to take upon himself to decide which were the preferred claims. He accordingly brought the matter before the court on a motion to sell the book accounts and to determine the pre- ferred claims. The attorneys for the company ar- gued that the firm was not obliged to pay their employees any more than other creditors. 0 Of interest to All. Prof. Lindsley of the State Board of Health, has written as follows in regard to the prevalence of diphtheria in Stamford : All scientists agree that neither scar- let fever nor diphtheria. can occur spontaneously, but that every new case 'results from the contagion derived a from a previous’ case. That being true, it follows that these diseases cannot ex- tend to fresh subjects, unless the said subjects are personally exposed to the sick persons, or to some article con- taining the infection derived from the sick ones. Hence it is clearly obvious that when a case of scarlet fever occurs in any community, all that it is necessary to do, to prevent others from taking the disease, is to separate the patient from others and to destroy all the infection which is produced by his sickness. The law of public safety is expressed in two words, . viz., isolation—disinfec- run. If asecond case occurs, it is proof that isolation or disinfection or both. have been neglected. That is self-evi- dent. Partial isolation and imperfect disin- fection are of little or no value. To do any good, to be at all trustworthy as means of protection, the isolation must be maintained as long as the patient is capable of communicating the disease, and the disinfection must be complete; then and then only these means are in- fallible. They cannot fail. But it is not easy to secure efficient isolation and disinfection. The resi- dence of the patient should be declared a hospital, and put under hospital regur‘ lations and all unnecessary intercourse absolutely forbidden. A placard should always be placed in a conspicuous place, that all comers may know the danger of contagion. This proceeding cannot now be objected to by any one, as implying anything disreputable, since the President of the United States has permitted it at the White House, in the recent illness of his grandchild. Children residing in in- fected houses should be rigidly exclud- ed from the public schools, and from association with other children. Disinfection is not less difficult. Telling the family how to disinfect‘a sick room.and its contents is merely a waste of time. There are not five fam- ilies in a town who will receive verbal instructions, how to disinfect and put them in practice without omittin something essential to success. An that omission defeats the whole effort. Whenever there has been a case of contagious disease in a house the disin- fection should always be performed by one carefully instructed and practically taught. Otherwise it will be a failure and the disease will probably re-appear until the susceptible subjects are ex- hausted. All disinfection of infected houses of apartments should be done under skilled supervision. This point cannot be too earnestly insisted upon, , Private burial in case of death should always be enforced ; so far as permit- ting any gathering of friends within the house of the deceased, itshould be peremptorily prohibited. ' The body should be hermetically cur - closed in its coffin, having been pres viously wrapped in sheets saturat- ed- with disinfectants. In such friends may attend the-grave. , The inmates of the sick house and the attendants upon the sick should not be allowedto ride in a public car— riage. The upholstcring and the lap robes used in them are difiic'ult to dis- infect. . Sulphur fumigation alone is not to be trusted. Half-way measures are futile. To be effective they must be thorough. ~ case _ CHURCH SERVICES. ST. PAUL’S Cannon—Rev. S. 1‘. Graham, Rector. 10.30 a. m. Divine' Servrce_w1th Sermon. Subject, “The First Miracle.” 7.30 p. m.
