ITHE FAVORITE HOME PAPER.
independent in all things : Neutral in nothing.
The Gazette has the largest cir-
culation of any paper in Norwalk,
and furnishes the lowest advertising
rates-
Judge Gresham in the Cabinet.
In tendering this office to the most
prominent and the most honored of
the former Republicans who supported
his candidacy Mr. Cleveland has, says
the Philadelphia Democratic Times,
diplayed the boldness and originality
asa political leader which have been
the most marked features of his extra-
ordinary career. It is a veritable in-
Spiration. Only a great politician could
have conceived it. Only a leader con-
fident in himself and confident of the
people’s trust would have dared carry
it out.
It is natural that the old-time Demo-
crats, those who have through many
campaigns “borne the heat and bur-
_ den of the day,” should question the
‘ justice of awarding this great honor to
a fresh recruit. Yet he repudiated the
excesses Of the McKinley bill, and up-
on every important issue now before
the country he is as thorough a. Demo-
crat, says the Times, as Grover Cleve-
land himself. -
The political wisdom of recognizing
in this honorable way the’ element
which Judge Gresham represents, and
which did so much to secure Demo-
cratic ascendancy, ought to be obvious
to all. It will strengthen the Democ-
racy for future victories in Indiana,
Illinois and Wisconsin, and increase
the confidence of the people every-
where in the breadth of its patriotism
and the elevation Of its purposes.
There will be no lack of ability, of
vigor, of good sense, Of honesty or Of
genuine Americanism in the State De.-
partment with Walter Q. Gresham at
its head.
Mr; Cleveland has started well.
Connecticut in the Cabinet.
The rumor is again set afloat that
,Connectiéut is to be honored by a Cab-
inet position by President-elect Cleve-
land, and wonderment guesses who he
is to be.
The eastern papers and their Wash-
ington correspondents are free in their
assertions that emCongressman Carlos
French is to be the lucky man and that
the Navy Department is to be his port-
folio. Now this may be correct guess-
ing, but the GAZETTE ventures the pre-
diction that if the chieftianship of the
N avy Department is to be Offered to any
Connecticut man, that honored person-
age will first be Hon. E. C. Benedict
Of Greenwich. Whether Mr. Benedict
could be induced to abandon his vast
business interests and accept a Cabi-
net position if tendered him, no one but
himself and Mr. Cleveland probably
know, but that the tender would
first be made him, in the event
of any Connecticut man being selected,
we have not a doubt. Nor would Mr.
Cleveland be able to select a more able,
practical, or thoroughly competent
man for this especial service than is
Mr. Benedict. He would not have to
have it explained to him that vessels
were built hollow, as has been face-
tiously charged against some previous
Secretaries Of the Navy. Mr. Benedict
is a remarkably wide-awake, self-made
and successful business man, fully
abreast of the times in which we live.
It is asserted that his politics are a good
deal after the Judge Gresham high
standard, and that he is more of a
Cleveland man than a thick and thin
Democrat.
It would also be quite in the line of
ancient and honorable precedent for
President Cleveland to place the Navy
portfolio in the hands of a citizen of
Connecticut. -
It is reported about town that Mr.
Benedict is to visit Nor-walk, where he
has many friends, on Saturday.
Pardon the Great Frenchman-
The shame of a convict’s garb should
not be inflicted upon Ferdinand De
Lesseps. The spectacle of De Lesseps
in a prison cell at the age of eighty:
seven would disgrace France. It may
well be that the man whose faith, cour-
age and genious gave the Suez Canal
to mankind will not live to enter pris.
on doors} But living or dying, he
should be relieved of the penalty which
the French courts have decreed against
him, says the New York Press.
Whatever DeLcsseps’ errors have been
it is eminently probable that in deceiv-
ing others he was himself deceived.
Without the training of a practical en:
ginccr he possessed a superabundance
enthusiasm "and a faith in his own
powers of achievement which is par-
donable when we remember his mag-
nificent success at Suez, won in the
face of manifold discouragements, and
in spite of the confident predictions of
high authorities that success wus im-
possible. That De Lesseps was made
a tool by unscrupulous men, that he
underestimated the insuperable Obsta-
cles at Panama, that he flung good
money after bad and persisted in the
endeavor to raise fresh funds in aid of
his colossal project long after clear
headed engineers had pronounced the
whole scheme impracticable. is an evi-
dence Of self delusion that amounts
to fanaticism, but hardly an evi-
dence of criminal guilt. It is well to
bear in mind also the fact that “Le
Grand Francois” is every old man,
whose faculties of judgement and ex-
a long time. The De Lesseps who te-
naciously pursued the Panama chimera
when all reasonable hope had fled was
a different man from the De Lesseps
wlio startled the world by cutting a
highway for maritime commerce from
the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean.
Great as the losses have been among
savings in the Panama enterprise, it is
doubtful if the failure Of the attempt
to sever the stubborn isthmus entailed
keener suffering on anyone than on
Ferdinandde Lessepi. Utterly broken
in mind, body and reputation the man
whose fame was one of the glories of
France and whose work in Egypt
stamped him as a benefactor to hu-
manity, lies at the mercy of his ene-
mies. History records few overthr owe
more signal or more pathetic. The
punishment he has already endured
should atone for his errors, President
Carnot should interpose his preroga-
tive and save the most illustrious
Frenchman of the latter-~ half of the
nineteenth century from the ignominy
of imprisonment among felons. The
better sentiment of France and the en-
lightened opinion of the whole civilized
world will applaud the pardon of Ferdi-
nand de Lesseps.

Representative Lees of Westport in-
troduced Tuesday in the house the fol-
lowing bill ':
Section 1. Whenever any railroad
company shall have changed the lo-
cation 'of any of its depots or shall
have erected depots upon each side of
its tracks, it shall make the access to
such depots as convenient as possible
to the traveling public as is consist-
ent with safety to persons and property
by the construction of a passage way to
such depots either over or under its
tracks.
Section 2. Any ten freeholders Of
the town in which such, depots are sit-
uated may make their application in
writing to the Superior court, and if
said court is not in session to any
judge thereof praying that said com-
pany may be ordered to make such ar-
rangements as required by this act to
whose application a citation shall be
served upon such company at least six
days before the return day therein.
Section. 3. And said court or judge
as the case may be' after a hearing of
the parties in interest shall make such
order as it shall deem just and reason-
able and in accordance with the re-
quirements of this act, and the same
shall be conclusive and said company
shall obey said order.
Section 4. Said order may be en-
forced by mandamus, and the costs of
said company may be taxed by said

Of lnterest to Hatters.
A question of much importance is
' being agitated in Bethel just now. For
some time the hat makers in that place
have been debating as to the advisa-
bility of going into the soft hat busi-
ness. The manufacturers would much
prefer to make stiff hats, but as the
call for the other style is so heavy now
it has become almost necessary that
the Bethel companies should get into
the market with competing products.
The expense incident to making soft
hats is large but the firms at Bethel
have a good supply of capital and it is
more than probable that they will start
at once and get into shape for the
spring trade.

Wheeler, of Bridgeport, to be judge of
the Superior court for eight years
from July 3 next. He is named as the
successor of A. H. Fenn, recently pro-
moted to the Supreme court bench.

erence.

16 years of age, of four or more; In
all other towns maintenance of schools
for 36 weeks is obligatory. No towns
shall receive any- share from the state
school fund unless these requirements
are complied with. The really inter-
esting provision of the bill is that no
school need be maintained where av-
erage attendance in the district is less
than eight. This evidentl aims ata
consolidation of the smal er districts
in the country towns. .
Mr. Toomey’s bill for a. less strict

mey’s request and the House promptly

GORBETT’S MONEY POSTED.
, Mitchell or Peter Jackson. - .
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—J 1m Corbett made
the boldest step since he became heavy-
$12,590 in the hands of the sporting editor
Of the World through his manager, Wil-
liam A. Brady, to fight Charley Mitchell
or Peter J aekson or both.
Corb'ett’s manager, William A. Brady,
accompanied by the champion’s trainer,
Billy Delaney, arrived in the city from
St. Paul at noon yesterday, and after ar-
ranging some minor details repaired to
the newspaper office mentioned above.
After a general {eating all round, Brady
said he was rca y for business, and with-
out nny further ceremony posted in the
hands Of the sporting editor two certified
checks drawn to the order of James J,
Corbett. One called for $10,000 and the
other for $2,590. .
Mr. Brady stated that on. behalf of Jim
Corbett he accepted Charley Mitchell’s
challenge, issued some time ago, and in
making the $10,000 deposit said he would
require Mitchell to post a similar sum in,
order that there should be no hitch about
the match. Brady added that he was of
the opinion that Mitchell meant business,
bu he was taking no chances of the Eng-
lishman’s “fiunking.” The $2,500 check
was in answer to Peter Jackson’s chal-
lenge last “ eek, in which the dusky Anti-
podcsn asked Corbett to give him a defl-
nite answer. Corbett considered the
posting of. a forfeit the most decisive re-
ply'lle‘c-jiuld make, and inst'ructed Brady
to post $10 000, providing Jackson put “Hp
the same a mum.
Mitchell learned Of Corbett’s conditions
for a fight as soon as he reached Qiiaran-
tine and said he would cover the $10,000
forfeit at once and had a backer who
would outbet tlfe- American.
