THE FAVORITE HOME PAPER:
lllllflflllllllll lll all llllllES I “filial ll llllllllllg.
The Gazette has the largest cir-
culation of any paper in Norwalk,
and furnishes theiiowest advertising
rates- ‘
How todo it.
Mr. Sidney D. Smith of Chicago has
discovered an effectual remedy against
immigration, and he announces his tri-
umph in the News Record of that city.
It is simply to repeal “every protec-
tive feature" of the tariff. By this
course, he insists, European industries
would receive a wonderful impetul and
foreign labor would have no tempta-
tion to seek the hospitality of Ameri-
can shores. Mr. Smith, although a
free trader, simply admits what every
protectionist contends, that the rcmov.
al of protective duties wbuld build up
European industries at the expense of
American industries.
ACracefu’l Act.
Mr. Cleveland’s attendance at Mr.
Hayes’ funeral is regarded as a very
graceful act by his political opponents.
Probably the fact that ML, Cleveland
and Mr. Hayes were personal friends
had something to do with influencing
Mr. Cleveland to make the long jour-
ney to Fremont to pay the last tribute
to the memory of the distinguished
son of Ohio. Mr. Cleveland formed
Mr. Hayes' aquaintanee as a member
of the Board of Trustees of the John
F. Slater and George Peabody Educa-
tional funds. All cit-Presidents be-
come members of the Board of Trus-
tees of these two funds. Mr. _Hayes
attended all the meetings of the trus-
tees, and was very active in promoting
the work for which the two funds were
crrated—the improvement and educa-
tion of the negro race. General Harrison
upon his retirement from office will
take General Hayes’ place on. the
boards,

Frozen Gas Pipes.
If gas is to continue in use for illumi-
nation, and still more if it is to come
into general use as fuel, some 'means
must be devised for maintaining the
supply in cold weather. One of the
most annoying results of the present
frost is the frequent failure of the gas
from the obstruction of the pipes by
freezing. ‘More or less of watery vapor
always accompanies the gas, and as
this condenses and settles in the lower
levels of the pipes, it is liable to freeze
when the temperature sinks and re-
mains as low as it has recently done.
This freezing may occur anywhere.
Or it may occur in the individual ser-_
vice pipe. 399 matter how extensive.-
thc use of lamps and candles has be-
come, it is found, when theseimust be
relied upon exclusively, that they have
not supplied the place of gas’. As for
gas stoves and other appliances for
heating, they are out of the que‘stion
under such conditions and no one could
venture to rely upon gas as a fuel while
it is liable to fail just when it is needed
most. _, \ p _ » .
It is true that the experiénce Of this
zero weather is unusual, but it is liable
to recur whenever such weather recurs.
Whether an improved method of manu-
facture or of distribution would lessen
the liability to freezing is a question
for experts. What is beyond question
is that without such improvement it is
idle to expect an increased use of gas
for house heating, cooking and domes-
tic purposes.

The Hour Editor’s Expulsion.
Why the Isaaes streetjournalist could
not have been content to squirt his re-
newed volume of sewage at Grand
Master Stirling and let the GAZETTE
escape his bespattering, we are at less
to divine. The New Haven papers had
from one to two column reports of the
action of the Grand Lodge in its last
week’s session at which by a vote of
over a hundred of his fellow Masons he
was expelled from the order. The GA-
zETrE in its less thanla half column re-
port eliminated all that could be
deemed in any sense, unnecessarily
painful to Mr. Maples or his friends,
giving only the briefest outlines of the _
Grand Lodge’s action. Yet he could
not refrain “jumping npon”‘us in his
usual forcible feeble style as if in some
way the GAZETTE were responsible for
this last and crowning humiliation of
his life. We were once goaded into
expressing our views of the foibles
and vicious propensities of our neigh-
bar, {with some vigor and elaboration
and would be glad to have done with it.
It is no pleasure to us ' to be bantered
into constant counter asSaults upona
reputation already so notoriously bat-
tered ; and why will not this constant
aggressor call a halt upon his besetting
propensity of pouring out his unbrid-
led rhetoric of the slums,upon any one
whom he chances to dislike ? Is it in
verification of the old adage. that
“merit always excites the enmity of
the depraved.” No man has received
more correction for this vice or proli-
ted less by it. Can it be that he has
gOtten so calloused by the constant
indulgence in his besetting sin of veno-
mous slander, that he has become
insensible to the scorn and hatred of
his fellow men ? Is it not enough that
throughout all newspaperdom and new .
in all Masonic circles, his very name
implies everything mean, cruel, false
and concemptible ? And now .. with this
last additional load of public scorn, why
has he not the sense to seek in silence,
a rescue from what to others would be
a crushing burden cf self-inflicted
odium? He is ill; by his intemperate
abuseof the officers of a society he had
most solemnly sworn to reSpect and
"obey, he is ejected as unfit for their
further association. Hls condition is
such as to excite the pity of all gena'er—
ous, human hearts. Why will he not
shut the flood gates of this violent and
obstinate vilification of his betters, and
by keeping silence, deserve at least,
the sympathy and kind feeling of great
numbers, who with the GAZETTE, be-
lieve that “forgiveness is the revenge
of magnaminous minds.’.’ This is his
true way to safety and repair to his
damaged honor.

A Good Move., .
A movement has been started to les-
sen the extravagance of funerals. We
are in full accord with one of our ex.-
ehanges when it says that funerals
ought to be conducted simply, plainly,
and without pomp or display. Grief
should not be be ostentatious. Sincere
respect for the dead is not shown by
parade. The simpler the obsequies the
better the taste.

The Prodigals’ Return.-
Not quite two weeks ago three oung
men from South Norwalk, W’i
Jennings, Elmer awkins and Fred-
erick Brundage, finding the opportuni-
ties for a young man in South Norwalk
inadequate for three such. ambitious
chaps, decided to leave for Florida.
The wildest fancies of Ponce De Leon
could not excel the ideas of these three
adventurous chaps, who saw visions of
fabulous wealth staring them in the
face, as soon as they should set foot in
Florida. Accordingly. assisted by their
respective “ Uncles,” they procured
sufficient money with which to secure
steamship tickets for St. Augustine.
Scarcely had they set and than every
mother’s son of them wished from the
bottom of his heart that he was safely
ensconced in' “ Jimmy” Ladrigan’s
rc am over in Lauder’s block. Arriv-
ing at Cha'rleston,the one who had been
bravest at the start, wilted. He con-
cluded that he Wanted to see mamma,
as he was “sick and starving.” He
continued with his companions, how-
ever, as far as St. Augustine where they
all went out on a grand alligator hunt.
Success was not intended for them,
however, and they returned with one
measly specimen. not quite six inches
long, of the great alligator family.
Thus their dream of happiness ended.
Like many others, they decided that
South Norwalk could beat a strange
place all to pieces, and therefore, Sat-
urday afternoon, the three ambitious,
bold adventurers returned.

. “A Little Bit Queer.”
The action of the Fairfield county
representatives in nominating Michael
J. Houlihan, of Newtown, for county
commissloner, seems to most men a lit-
tle bit queer. Mr. Houlihan is a liquor
dealer, having a barroom in his hotel.
If he is to be one of the three men who
are to decide upon the fitness of appli-
cants for: liquor licenses it were better
that he dropped the business. While
he may be perfectly fair and honest in
his conduct of the office of county com-
missioner, the great body of temper-
ance people would be better satisfied if
his place was occupied by some one in
no way connected With the business.—

and was first elected a member of the
House in 1848. The next ‘oldest ex-

weeks at a time and then adjourned for
one week. when the members returned

Large Real Estate Deal.
It is stated that Isaac W. Ives has
sold his real estate interests on
Canal street Danbury for something
oyer $100,009. The News says: The
dimensions of the Ives property are
530 feet by, 400 feet. There are sev-
eral buildings on it, including the Nichi
ols Hat factory, the Clark Box shop,
and in. short, all the buildings between
the Box factory and-the old Sewing
Machine shop. ‘
_ This purchase of the Ives property
15 only a small part of the contempla-
ted acquisrtion of land in this section,
desrred by the railroad company. It
Is a. well’known fact that the railroad’s
agent In this city has made overtures
to all the property owners on that
street, including John Fanton for his
property on which is his machine shop
and foundry, to Meeker Bros. for their
big hat factory plant,” to the owners of
the land where stands the old sewing
machine shop, and also to other inter-
ested property holders, including Chas.
H. Merritt for the land occupied by*
the block_1nhabited by the Italian col-
ony. It Is believed that the purchase
has been made fer the Consolidated
railroad company.
It may be too early to state, or to
find out, what the plans of the railroad
company are, considering the fact that
they have not yet got control of all the
property. But an Interesting rumor

intend to build their new depot either 4
on Canal street, just off White, or
where the round house belonging to

, BALTIMORE, Md., Jan. 23. — Marshal
Frey is congratulating himself on having
nipped in the bud a nice little scheme to
work the Baltimore banks. It was
planned by two expertsand their alleged
wives. .They came here about a week ago
and registered at the Eutaw House as
John Dorner and wife of Trenton, N. J.,
and Mr. and Mrs. Harvey of New York.
They were pretty well provided with bag-
gage and lived in good style.
Before beginning operations they open-
ed an account with the Equitable Bank
and up to Friday had placed, including
deposits of money and .checks about
$100. They visited various business
houses saying that they intended Open-
ing a. large grocery ' store. 8. W. Lyell &.
00., produce dealers; were induced to
recommend them to other houses for
supplies. One of the men obtained from
the firm a check for $15 which he said he
wanted to send to his home and for this
gave cash in return.
With the aid of some photographic
process they reproduced a similar check
for $850 Which bore the firm’s signature
and was an almost perfect imitation.
At the tobacco house of Rosenfleld &. Co.
they made a. similar request and obtained
a check, but one of the firm saw Harvey
slyly take an impression of the firm’s
rubber stamp. _ His suspicions were
aroused and he notified the police. The
result was the arrest of the party.
Asearch of the rooms brought to light a
variety of pens and rubber stamps, and
besides the check with Lyell & Co.’s
signature they found another signed
Bernstein, Cohen & Co. for $1,000 on (the
Continental Bank. . The layout was a.
complete one. Marshal Frey has sent a
grasciiption of the arrested people to New
