THE FAVORITE HOME PAPER. '
Independent in all things: Neutral in nomina
The Gazette has the largest cir—
culation of any 'paper in- Norwalk.
and furnishes the lOWest advertising
rates.
Not Quite Accurate.
The intensely Democratic N. Y. Sun
again returns to the free trade issue be-
tween the honest and the tricky inter-
preters of the Chicago platform and
thus remarks:
“Our esteemed Democratic contem-
porary, the Chicago Herald, has the
following pointed observations 2
“Mr. Cleveland tells the Herald that
there is danger of a panic in Wall street
if the Sherman silver law is not soon
repealed.
“The Herald tells Mr._ Cleveland
that there is greater danger of a panic
in the Democratic party if the McKin-
ley law is not soon repealed.”
“Let usremind the Herald, says the
Sun, that the repeal of the McKinley
law is very far from meeting the situa-
tion. That law may be repealed and
another may be passed putting a dif—
ferent protective tarifi' in its place;
and this will not answer at all.
What must be done is to extermi-
nate protectionism from the tariff and
pass a tariff bill which shall net have a
single protective feature in it, either
in the duties it imposes or in the ex-
emption from duties which it creates
or tolerates. -
When we find such an advocate of a
tariff for revenue only as the Chicago
Herald talking as if the repeal of the
McKinley law would suffice, we begin
to fear that there is something that is
not entirely sound in the state of Den-
mark. -
Why Not?
The willingness of Bridgeport to “ac-
cept” all the honors within ‘her reach
is shown by her uncommon anxiety to
capture a Superior Court judgeship.
In view of the facts that Stratford, one
of Bridgeport’s suburbs, has a Superi-
or Court judge and that Bridgeport has
the Common Pleas judge, it begins to
look as if Bridgeport’s sense of proprie-
ty was seriously blunted. Bridgeport
has its quota of judges; Greenwich has
the criminal court judge and where
does Stamford, Danbury and Norwalk
come in? Danbury has no Democrat-
ic lawyer who has been at the bar the
customary number of years. Stam-
ford’s only available man, Hon. James
H. Olmstead, has forbidden the con-
sideration of his name. This brings
us to Norwalk,'where we have a gen-
tleman whose political creed and pro-
fessional years and legal attainments
amply qualify him for this place. Our
candidate has a spotless private life ;
his professional career has been a busy
and honorable one; he was never known
to retain a collection; his dignified
courtesy would never let him be a bear
on the bench; while his constant prac-
tice in the courts has given him a thor-
ozigh acquaintance with those questions
of practice and evidence which no clos-
ct lawyer ever has. We take pleasure
in mentioning the name of the HON.
LEVI WARNER, who is a good Demo-
crat, a gentleman, and a well equipped
and amply experienced lawyer. This
suggestion is thrown out without Mr.
Warner’s knowledge and he probably
will not thank us for it, but we have
not overstated Mr. Warner’s qualifica-
tions for this place. It will be exceed-
ingly difficult for Governor Morris to
make as good an appointment, 9. better
one he cannot make. Will he do it?
is This the Millenium—or What?
Mr. Harrison and Mr. Cleveland are
delighting and astonishing the country
just now with an interchange of- affccl
tionate amenity, the like of which has
never been beheld in this or any other
ago, says the Washington Post. Mr.
Harrison signalizes his retirement by
appointing a Democrat to the Supreme
bench, and Mr. Cleveland ushers in his
accession by announcing as the next
Secretary of State a gentleman who
was ouce Postmaster-General under a
Republican administration, and who,
only four years ago, aspired to that
party’s nomination for the Presidency.
We can readily imagine the horror and
disgust with which the old-fashioned
party warriors contemplate this extra-
ordinary spectacle, but the heart that
is not touched by it must be incurably
coarse and bitter. The romantically
gallant Frenchman who bowed and
shouted “ Aprcs yous, JlIessz'cm’s,” at
Fontenoy, was a more bungler at cour-
tesy compared with this thrice-spurred
knight ofIndiana and this paladin of
Buffalo.
The present is no'time in. which to
harbor sordid thought. .Whether these
beautiful and shinning deeds Will put
money in the party purse or add large
strength unto its cause is quite beside
the question. We do not set‘a price
‘ leaders pals, shall not contention cease,
‘tinued there is
upon the skylark’s song or list the sun-
.beams in our commerce. Such things
as we describe are like the perfume of
the rose, the violet’s bashful charm,
the sunset’s crimson flush, the music of
the stars, the priceless glory on the
mountain top. They do not figure in
the market place. ‘ They have no func-
tion in a deal. They are reminders of
our nobler selves, the symbOl and the
promise of divinity.
, Thus doth the millennium steal upon '
us unawares. The outgoing adminis-
tration pays tribute to the merits of
its conqueror. The incoming chieftain
gallops here and there in search of
daintiest ~recognition of the virtues
that have fallen to his bow and spear.
Mr. Harrison appoints Jackson to show
how greatly he esteems Democracy
and Mr. Cleveland takes Gresham to
his sumptuous breast and fills him with
the milk of human kindness which
flows for all alike. In this warm sun
of love and brotherhood shall ptrty
lines survive? Shall We not, on the
contrary, soon melt together into One
homogeneous and; rich liquor of un-
selfishness? Shall not caucuses and
shall not the clash of purposes and
conviction die away into the sweet
murmur of mating doves, and in all
the world no thought remain but that
of covering our enemies with affection ?

TRIUMPH FOR THE BISHOP.
Satolli’s Decision on the Tron-
bie at Bayonne, N. .l. . .
A VIRTUAL DEFEAT FOR REV.
FATHER KILLEEN.
Buosun, N. J., Feb. 13.—The first of-
ficial announcement as to the basis. upon
which the difficulty between Bishop
Wigger and Father Killeen was adjusted
was made in the two Catholic churches in
Bayonne—St. Mary’s and St. Henry’s—
yesterday. The principal parts of Bishop
Wigger’s letters were the same, but to
Father Killeen’s letters was attached a
postscript which that of the Bishop to
Father Ahne lacked. ‘
The letter read by the former was as
follows:
Having had a conference on the matter with
the most reverend Delegate Apostolic, Arch-
bishop Satolli, I hereby divide sa Mary’s
parish as follows:
The limits of St. Mary’s are to extendto
5t. Henry’s at Twenty-sixth street. he
new parish, to be called the United Churches
of St. Thomas and St. Henry, will. begin at
St. Henry’s, Twenty-sixth, and ‘thence run
northward to the city lim’lt.
' The Rev. Father Ahne will be rector of this
new parish, and the congregation will wor-
ship in St. Henry’s Church. On Sundays the
rector will preach in English at the first
mass, and in English and German at the
second mass, as he has done in the ‘past. 011
feast days, it the congregation so wish, the
rector-will at his discretion, say mass in‘Bt.
Thomas’.
St. Thomas’ will henceforth be used ex-
clusively for divine service, except: of course,
the four class rooms which are‘ on the first.
“(NT B.—The Bishop also promises that in
case of Father Ahne’s death pr his removal
to, another parish he will appoint an English
speaking priest in his place.
Virtually the decision is a defeat for
Father Killeen, because St. Thomas’
Church is not to be rte-Opened except on
occasional and informal fashion at the
discretion of Father Aline.
Father Ahne said the union of St.
Thomas’ Church with St. Henry’s, put
the Germans of St. Henry’s in the minn
ority. “They have not,” said he, “the
control of their church property. There
was no reason that St. Thomas’ Church
should be preferred to St. Henry’s, which
has 800 square feet‘ more than St. Thomas’
Church.”
Father Killeen made no reference to
the letter to his congregatic.n,-ifiit' to a
reporter he said: “Well, this seems tie
be a somersault. Perhaps theend is not
yet. Idid not so understand the Men-
signor’s decision. I have a letter from
him which I am not permitted to dis-
close at present. -I am not saying any-
thing just now.”

witness the presentation by George A.
Hill’s Theatre company, of the sensa-
tional drama, The Streets of New York,
in which George A. Hill appeared as
Tom Badger, and Miss Alice Kemp as
Lucy Fairweather. All the characters
in the cast were well taken by members
of the company. The specialties as
usual were well received and loudly
applauded. There was also a good at-
tendance at the matineeperformance.
The company has met With such favor-
able recognition from the theatre goers
of the town Mr. Hill has decided to re-
main another week. He had gilready
broken the record of the stay in town

v10usly eifigged for to-night by the Y.

plause been of a boisterous character.
