Bishop Brooks.
The great Bishop whose funeral takes
place in Boston to-morrow sent, some
time since, to a Norwalk Clergyman a
much appreciated letter, of which the
following is an extract :‘
My DEAR Dn. NICHOLS : I thank
you sincerely for sending to me your
etters from ‘Waldegrave Cottage.’ I
have read it with much interest and en-
joyed its vivid reminiscences and pleas-
ant suggestions. _.
I venture to send you my last vol-
ume, and I am yours most sincerely.
PHILLIPS BROOKS.
The Norwalk Affinity of Bishop
Phillips Brooks.
From the ship Arabella there landed
in New England in the early summer
of 1630, among others, the eminent
Gov. John Winthrop of England and
his companion, the able Rev. George
P. Phillips, of Norfolk county in the
same country, and a thorough Cam-
bridge University man. Mr. Phillips’
son, Samuel P., a child only five years
of age, accompanied his father, which
lad in due time entered Harvard Col-
lege, was ordained, and anon married
into the Massachusetts Appleton fami~
1y. This Samuel P.Phillips’ son George,
a graduate at the age. of twenty-two,
of Harvard College, and a good man
but a great wit, was the grandfather of
Ebenezer Phillips, the father of the
- well and worthily remembered Mrs.
Wm. P. Stuart whose home. now the
Van Buren property on West avenue,
is a fond Norwal‘ memory. Mary Anne
Phillips, the mother of the departed Bish-
op Phillips Brooks, belonged to this no.
table family. Her grandfather was Dr.
Samuel Brooks, Lieut.-Go_v. of Massa-
chusetts, which magistrate’s father was
a cousin of Ebenezer Phillips of Nor-
walk. In direct line from the boy Sam-
ucl who came with his father in 1630 to
New England, were Dr. J ohn'Phillips,
the founder of Phillips’ Academy, and
Samuel Phillips who with his brother
established the Andover Academy, and
John Phillips, the first mayor 'of Bos-
ton, and BishOp Phillips Brooks of
world renown, and in our own town the
late Mrs. Thomas B. Butler, and Mary
Elizabeth Chichcster, and Edward W.
tuart. ~
Unique Scramble for Office.
Among the many features of the
wild rush for office, which has been
given such an impetus by recent events,
are here and there incidents 'which
should cause the cynic to pause before
he makes the sweeping assertion that
the desire for‘k’pelf rather than spirit of
patriotism is the mainspring of the
scramble toward the crib. For in-
stance, it is recorded that for nine po-
sitions on the stafi' of the Governor-
elect of Maine more than a thousand
applications were received. Unless the
staff of the governor of Maine differs
very widely from similar attaches in
other states, the members will have no
more patronage at their disposal than
they will have duties of an arduous na-
ture to perform, and as they receive no
salary the selfish instinct is almost ob-
literated from their wish to become 01'-
naments of society.
That their berths will be easy goes
almost without saying, in view of the
fact that no cloud of war is visible up-
on the horizon, but while the normal
office-seeker is naturally eager to occu-
py as easy a berth as possible, such a
consideration has practically no weight
with him, provided he may draw a sal-
ary from the Government, as is shown
by the naming of one individual for
three or four ofiices, any one of which
‘ it is supposed he would be able to fill
with comfort to himself and credit to
the appdinting power.
The spectacle presented in Maine,
therefore, while refreshing by contrast
with the general trend of events, is
says the Washington Post, interesting
as demonstrating the superfineness of
Maine politics, which has resulted in a
regiment of men trying to fill, without.
pay, nine offices which will mean noth-
ing to them hereafter but the right to
join the great army of generals or col-
onels which may be found scattered in
all parts of the land.

The President’s Salary.
A correspondent of the New York.
Herald advocates an increase of the
salary of the President of the United
States from $50,000 to $100, 000, and he
cites the sums received by various Eu-
ropean potentates to show by compari-
son what an insignificant sum $50,000 is.
It is true the President’s "salary looks
ridiculously small in contrast with that
of the Czar of Russia, who receives
over $8,000,000, or with that of theEm-
peror of Germany, whose allowances
aggregate $3,741,000, or with Queen
Victoria’s $2,000,000, or King Hum-
bert’s $2,865,000, and so on. Even the
President of France is paid more than
four times as much as the President of
the American Republic.
But we fail to see the force of any
comparative argument in this matter,
says the Washington Post. The sim-
plicity of our system of government is
one of its best features and proudest
beasts, and it is to be hoped the day is
far distant when the American people
consent to substitute for the modest
maintenance of the White House the
vast and wasteful expenditures that are
required to support the imperial estab-
lishments of the old world. It is re-
assuring to our faith in American pa-
triotism, moreover, to feel that there is
no demand in this direction on the part
of the people at large.
The President can get along very
comfortably on $50,000 a year. For
his personal expenses it is quite enough.
There is never likely to be any dearth
of candidates for the Presidency be-
cause of the insufficiency of the pay;
and some of the eminent citizens who
have held the office have managed to
save snug little sums out of their salary.
To give the President $100,000 in-
stead of $50,000 a year would add noth-
ing to his dignity, to the public respect
in which he is held, or to the efficiency
of his admistration. To allow him any
thing approaching the European scale
would be a foolish and dangerous ex-
pcriment.

Are They Commissioners?
By the action of the general assem-
‘bly in refusing to appointtheir succes-
SOrs or continue them in office the
county commissioners are left in a
quandry. Messrs. Johnson and Mead
do not know whether they are de facto
officers or not. Their term of office ex-
pired last Wednesday.
The law provides that in case their
successors are not appointed the oflice
should .be declared vacant unless some
action is taken by the general assembly
to extend the periods of their terms.
They do _not believe that any action
of theirs since_last Wednesday would
be legal or binding. Representative
Hammersley of Hartford, presented a
resolution extending the terms of office
till March 1. The resolution passed
the house and was referred to the judi-
ciary committee by the Senate. Had
this resolution passed both houses the
commissioners would know what to do.
They are asking themselves, “ Are we
commissioners . ”
Commissioner Johnson says: “ I be-
lieve we are out of office and cannot be
reinstated except by appointment. I
do not believe that the Hammersley
resolution should it be passed now
would amount to anything. You can
not continue in office a board which
does not hold office. I think our du-'
ties and the responsibility of our bonds-
men ceased last Wednesday. It may
be that we still are de facto commis-
sioners. I am not prepared to say we
are not, but _we certainly are not de
jure commissioners.” .
Q
Legislative.
Several petitions for the incorpora-
tion of social clubs and other bodies
were duly referred by the House dur-
ing its short session yesterday. Rep-
resentative Hamersley, of Hartford,
introduced a bill against pool selling
on horse races and providing for $100
fine and six months imprisonment, or
both upon those convicted of violating
the act should it become a law. It was
referred to the committee on judiciary.
Mr. Healy, of Windsor Locks, intro-
duced a bill making eight hours a legal
day’s work for employees of the state.
In the Senate, which met at one
o’clock,. Senator Holden presented a
resolution providing for the appoint-
ment of a special committee of three
from each house who shall report a
plan for the expedition of business.
The idea proposed is that both houses
shall not assemble until afternoon,
giving up the morning session to com-
mit-tee hearings. It is also proposed
that the house shall sit four days of
each week.
The Senate adjourned until 11 o’-
clock to-day. In the House the confir-
mation of. Judge Fonn and Prof. Bald-
win _for judgeships is to be made the
Special order of business.
The House at the next meeting will
take up the question of confirming
Gov. Morris’ nominations of Prof.
S. E. Baldwin and Judge A. H. Fenn

Bills were referred in the House per-
mitting the sale of meats, fruits and
perishable articles on Sunday, creat-
ing an assustant judge of the court of

missioners to $2,500 per annum.

USE DANA’S SARSAPARILLA,IT’S
“THE KIND THAT CURES”.
A Game of Bluff.
A couple of Norwalk “dead game
sports” visited Stamford, says the Ad-
vocate, last evening with the intention
of wagering a few thousand dollars
upon the result of“ next Thursday’s
championship race. < They visited sev-
eral saloons and, after imbibin quite
freely, became boisterous in t e ex-
pression of their desire to bet the,
Stamford people to a “standstill”—and
they would take either the Donohue or
Franklin and of it at that... The Nor-
walk young men met with no misha
and were succeeding admirably wit
their little game .of blufi', until they
came in contact.w1t_h a young man who
beat them at their own game. ‘
After doing Justice to two of the
largest glasses of mixed ale the saloon
could afford for five cents apiece, one
of the N orwalkers arranged himself in
the center of the floor and in aloud,
tough v01ce, announced to those pres-
ent that:
“Me and me friend has a couple of
t’ousand quids we want to placeoon the
skating race, see i Now if any of you’se
gents wants any part of it here’s you’re
chance.” '
The young man had scarcely ceased
speaking, when. one of Stamford’s
youngest musicians stepped forward
and, With much ceremony, proceeded
to take a large red wallet from his in-
side pocket. Very quietly he said:
f‘Now, gentlemen, I’ve been chasing
this town over for the past few days en-
deavorin to get a few bets upon Mr.
Ennis. have only succeeded in plac-
ing about five hundred so far. I’ll
{3a 1ie,the Ennis end of all you wish to

The Norwalk men were nonplussed,
and, after making a few simple ex-
cuSes for not wanting to wager their
money, they hurriedly left the place.

the crowd. When it became known
that the Stamford man’s capital
amounted 'to six cents and a bunch of
keys, he was made the lion of the even-
ing.

The entertainment announced to be
held at the Congregational church at
Wilton, on Friday evening, Jan. 27th,
has been indefinitely postponed. '
The J udxeship Fights.
The pending judicial appointments
mostly absorbed attention in the legis-
lative- circles yesterday. After the
House 'had been in session a half an
hour it adjourned so that a coucus of
the Republican members of both
branches might be .held for the pur-
pose Of deliberating on the nomination
of Judge Fenn and Prof. S. E. Bald-
win, to the Supreme court bench.
There have been formal expressions of
hostility to the latter on the part of
his fellow lawyers of New Haven.
Against Judge Fenn the opposition
amounts to little.
The Republicans in caucus reached
the conclusion that they would take no
hand in the controversy at_ present.
They took the ground that inasmuch
as a democratic governor made the
nomination the members of that party
should settle, among themselves any
such difficulties as . may have aris-
'en. Whether they Will be as consider-
ate as this should there really be a
chance to get up a conflict is very
doubtful.
Opposition apparently more noisy
than weighty has developed to the con-
firmation of James E. Walsh as judge
of the Danbury City court. Colonel
Bliss, a prominent Democrat and pro-
prietor of the Wooster and Turner ho-
tels in that city, was inVHartford domg
his utmost to shut out Walsh. He has
as a helper Judge Hough, the present
incumbent and a Republican who seeks
to take advantage of the situation "to
keep himself in office.
Says the Farmer : It has been learn-
ed that Col. Bliss went to Senator .Fer-
ris of N orwalk,‘who is a. Republican,
.and tried to enlist his help to prevent
the nomination of Mr. Walsh and‘cer-
tain others who were chosen by the
conference committees representing the
two parties in the Legislature. Sena-
tor Ferris declined to become a party
to any such plot. He said the men
named for the court positions had been
fairly chosen and that it would _be a
disgraceful breach of faith for either
party to repudiate the agreement. He
was cruel enough to add that as the
Democrats carried Danbury by 500 or
600 majority last fall, it was only fair
that they should have the local Judge-
ship. ' The present arrangement for
Danbury is that Deputy Judge Scott
shall be the next prosecutor. The. ob-
jection to Mr. Walsh appears to be
largely personal, as he received a una-
nimous vote in caucus. .
John H. Perry, of Southport, judge
of the Fairfield county civil Common
Pleas court and an‘hor of the famous
phrase regarding “ recent importa-
tions,” also has a finger in the pie. He
evidently realizes that it would be
hopeless for him to attempt to hold his
place, but he has the efirontery to en-
deavor to dictate what shall be done.-
His plan is that Judge Walsh shall be
transferred to the civil Common Pleas
from the criminal Common Pleas. He
says he doesn’t object to having a Dem-
ocrat succeed Judge Walsh in .the
criminal court, but is evidently anxmus
that the man shall not be Howard J.
Curtis who has been chosen for the
civil side judgeship. _ .
It looks now as if the combination of
forces, who from various motives are
trying to prevent consummation of the
work which the conference committees
did last week, will not succeed. Most
of the Republicans take the same View
of the situation as does Senator Ferns
and shrink from being parties to a
scheme which means a deliberatebreak-
ing of pledges.

Garlisle the Only One Yet Sure
of a Portfolio.
LAKEWOOD, N. J ., Jan. 25.—Mr. Cleve-
land’s selection of Senator Carlisle for the
Treasury portfolio is a settled fact, and
from a most reliable source comes the in-
formation that Mr. Cleveland last night
telegraphed National Chairman William
F. Harrlty of Pennsylvania, to come - on
for consultation, and that while here he
will be tenderod the Postmaster General’s
portfolio. It is also conceded here that
Daniel Lamont will be offered the Navy
portfolio, held by Mr. Whitney during
Mr. Cleveland’s first term of office. ,-
Mr. Whitney was expected here last
night, but did not arrive. Several mem-
bers of his family came from New York
on the afternoon train, and said that Mr.
Whitney would be here Wednesday.
Nothing has yet been heard from Mr.
Carlisle, who was to have been here and
render what service he could in the
problem that is puzzling Mr. Cleveland.
