THE FAVORITE HOME~ PAPER.
Independent in all things; initial in nothing.
The Gazette has the largest clr-
culatlon of any paper In Norwalk.
and furnishes the lowest advertlslnn‘
rates. '
The Prince of Faklrs.
. For some time past the editors of the
eastern press have been lashing the
fake reporters of their respective cities,
who are continually sending out bogus
reports, to the New York press. It
might be of interest to these editors to
know that their columns are daily filled
with fake dispatches of the worst kind
sent out from Norwalk by the prince of
fakirs. '
-
An Extra Gazette.
An issue of the DAILY GAZETTE will
shortly’be publiShed in the interest of
the town of Norwalk, and is intended
to embrace a complete list of the busi-
ness and professional men, showing
what facilities we have to offer to man-
ufacturing and other industries to -lo-
cate in Norwalk. This issue will give
unusual advantages to our business
men to widely circulate their interests.
An authorized agent for the GAZETTE
will call on the business and profession-
al men, and we feel confident they will
give the enterprise their hearty support.
Office-Seekers Are All Right.
We hear a great deal in these days
about the deep depfavity of ofiicescek-
ing, and about Mr. Cleveland’s unut-
terable scorn of office-seekers. Every
little newspaper that feels called upon
to swell up and be high-toned is telling
us, says the Washington Post, that the
rush of spoilsmen has already begun,
and that it promises to be more revolt-
ingly vulgar and nauseous than ever
before. Congressmen are reported as
being aghast at the number and the fe-
rocity of the applications pouring in
upon them. Political leaders, they
say, are simply overwhelmed. And
from the distance comes a wild and .
hungry howl which reminds these su.
perior gentlemen of the clamor of hy-
enas, and causes large and injurious
shudders to rack their dainty frames.
All this was to be expected, of course.
Editors and statesmen who have failed
to impress the world in any other way
nearly always fall back upon the ex-
pedient of pitying their fellow-creatures
and worshiping themselves. But the
attempt to draw Mr. Cleveland into
their fraternity is inexplicable. One
must be steeped in the very dregs of
infatuation to give. place to such a
theory. Why, pray, should the Presi-
dent-elect despise an office-seek er?
There is nothing disgraceful in the
ambition of an American citizen to'
hold an office and to take part in the
Government of the country. Of what
use would our free institutions be and
how long would they survive if honor-
able and worthy men considered it as a
duty to forego their responsibilities ?
Mr. Cleveland himself has been in of
fice nearly all his life. He has, been a_
provincial sheriff, the mayor of a tenth-
rate town, a governor, and a President.
He has illustrated in his own career
the highest possibilities of American
citizenship. Does anybody believe
that Mr. Cleveland hold all these offi-
ces and three times received a nominee
tion for the Presidency by virtue of
having endeavored to escape them ?
If any one does, he should be furnished"
with a keeper, if not a strait-jacket.
. Let the office-seekers come on. They
have a right to seek office. The Gov-
ernment of this country does not be-
long to any class—least of all to the
freaks and dudes who think themselves
better than their neighbors, but who
succeed only in being less manly and
honest and sensible.

The Tax on Bank Stock.
A GAZETTE reader after having care-
fully conned what has been published
in its columns in reference to the abate-
ment made on a few persons’ bank '
stock, and much of the street discus-
sion of the subject, as well, desires that
we should publish the law on the sub-
ject, which we give herewith, very
cheerfully : ~
SEC. 3836. Shares ofthe capital stack
of any bank, national banking associa-
tion, insurance, turnpike, bridge, or
plank road company, owned by any
resident in this State, shall be set in
his list, at its market value in the town
in which he may reside. .
. SEC. 3837. The cashiers ~or secretar-
ies of all corporations, whose stock is
liable to taxation, shall, on or before
the twelfth day of October, annually,
inform the assessors of each town of
the names of the stockholders residing
therein, and the amount of stock owned
by each, as exhibited by the books of
and corporations, on thefirst day of
said October, so far as the residence of
such stockholders shall be known" to
such cashiers or. secretaries, and its
market value during the month at S'ep.
By the letterand evident spiritiOf the
above sections of the law, it becomes
quite a serious question as to where
Attorney Warner finds his authority
bank stock as he advisedthe town’s as-
sessors that they could legally make
for such as had made persigiiial applica-
'tion therefor. The GMTTE is" in-
formed that the Board of :Borough As-
sessors has steered clef'arof‘the rock on
which the town Board cfzistlief seems
ings banks the bonaiide price which
they stand ready to pay for the stock
of our several banks, and having this
offer to guide them they have kept to
the law by assessing the full cash value
thus positively accert’aine‘d. Now this
is clear and explicit and would seem to
leave no ground for the Borough Board
of Belief to base any abatement upon.
The local taxes on bank stock are
heavy and really so onerous that some
method ought to be devised by which a
citizen of Norwalk can fare as well in
its ownership as a non resident. Nev-
ertheless, any abatement made one,
should be made for all, and if the law
was strictly followed, all would be
' equally well treated.

MUSIC HALL.
The farce comedy of “ O’Dowd’s
Neighbors,” which will be seen at Music
Hall Friday evening, is justly spoken
of as an operatic farce comedy, the
musnc of which that smart bit of a man,
Mark Murphy,has put 1n the play j usti-
1fyl_ng its title. In the course of the
excitement, the following are among
the selections : An opening chorus by
the O’Dowd Quartctte, Messrs Rogers,
Reynolds, Erhardt and Riggs, which is
received With great enthusiasm nightly,
the vonces being. spoken of by New
York papers as fairly rivalling the cele-
brated Clipper Quartette. .
Probably the song “On the Bowery”
by Mr. Murphy makes the hit of the
performance. Judging from the old
saying “make extremes meet” it strikes
one as being peculiar that the celebra-
ted selcction from Lucia di Lammer-
more is sung by the sextette should fol-
low the comedy selection, “ On the
Bowery.” Still this is the nature of
things wnth f‘O’Dowd’s N eighbors.”

Shameful.
There was a scene in the Shelton
Baptist church Sunday morning. After
singing one verse of a hymn two mem-
bers of the choir threw down their
books. The other members of the
choir sang the second verse so feebly
that Rev. Mr. Cooper, the pastor, ex-
claimed: “That’sshameful: Stop right
where you are.” He then asked the
congregation to sing the other four
versosof the hymn. The two singers
who caused. the sensation went ,to a
theatre in New Haven Saturday night
when the choir held its regular even-
ing rehearsal, and for this the organist
censured them.
Sleighlng Party Broke Down.
B. F. Whaley took a jolly party of
eighteen young people in his big sleigh
to N orwalk on Saturday evening. After
a fine time of singing and jokes going
over, they were quite hungry when
their destination was reached and so an
excellent supper was partaken of at 9.
Norwalk hotel. They started home
again quite late and everything went
well until the Noroton River was reach-
ed and then, with a snap, the hind
runners broke and there came a dis-
mal halt. The ladies were packed in
the forward part of the sleigh and Mr.
Whaley was able thus to drive home.
The men, however, were compelled to
walk and the long journey in the snow
was anything but pleasurable. The
first division got home at 11:30 but it
was Sunday morning before the male
rear guard arrived—Stamford Advo-
cate.
Board of Trade.
There was not a ver large attend-
ance at the Board of reds meetin at
the Opera House, last evening, ca led
for the purpose of taking action in the
matter ' of securing the location of a
State Normal school in Norwalk; Rep-
resentative E O. Keeler presided.
Speeches were made by Rev. S. H.
Watkins, Rev. Dr. Noble. Col. Russell
Frost. Judge Asa B. Woodward, B. W.
EéMaples, and others, all favoring any
plan by which the school might be lo-
cated here. Hon. John H. , Ferris’
speech to the effect that he was pledged
to support the interests of Bridgeport
had a rather dampening effect, as did
also the opening speech of Mr. Keeler,
in which he said that yhen he first agi-
tated the calling of the meeting he was
not aware that Norwalk’s representa-
tion in the legislature had_ prevnously
espoused the cause of Bridgeport in
the matter. A resolution to the_efi'ect
that Norwalk’s representation in the
General Assembly be instructed to use
their best endeavors to secure the loca-
tion of the school in Fairfield county,
and if possible in Norwalk, was unani-
mously passed, and the meeting ad-
journed. .
Wants the School Ma'ams.
Both New Haven and Bridgeport are

between her igger neighbors. Aboard

formulation of a scheme of campaign.

The Pope, Hopes to See England
Again Catholic.
LONDON, Feb. 28.—Lord Dunraven ad-
dressed : Unionist meeting in Ulverstons
last evening on the subject of Mr. Glad-
stone’s Home Rule bill. Should. the bill
ever gclnto operation, he said, social and
commercial anarchy would reign supreme
in Ireland. As everybody knew, Ireland
was poor and practically without capital.
Under the Home Rule plan, British capl-
tal would be driven from the country as
fast as the owners could extricate it from
business.
Afters few years of legislation by an
Irish Parliament not a British firm or
landlord would be found in Ireland; the
country would be bankrupt, and would
hang a dead weight upon the imperial
Parliament at Westminster.
A great demonstration was made by
Ulster Unionists in Belfast this evening.
Sir Daniel Dixon, Lord Mayor, presided
at the meeting and spoke at length
against the Home Rule bill. Between
February 13, the day on which Mr.
Gladstone introduced the bill, and Feb-
ruary 25, he said, the total decline in
Irish railway stocks and other securities
had been £1,845,750. A resolution de-
nouncing the plan to give Ireland a sepa-
rate Legislature was adopted unani-
mously.
Home Secretary Asquith has granted
permission to John Redmond to visit the

The New York in the Commons.
LONDON, Feb. 28.—In the Commons
yesterday in reply to a question as to the
right of the United States to fly its flag
on the New York, which had been sub-

Muslcal Notes. ' -
“ Popular Music.” is a very compre- j _ .1;
hensnve. term, as it includes all- those .1.
composntions, both vocal and inst‘ru- f
mental, that are sung and played by
everyone for a time, then pass into for- '
getfulness and-make room for new se- .
actions that have the same brief exist- , . .
once, then become old fashioned and”. «r
disappear. ~ ’
' Popular music may be good, bad, or
indifferent, according to the times and
prevailing taste of the people. One of"
torio of the Creation. At its first rep-
resentation in Vienna in 1799, it made
so deep an impression that societies
were or anized first in one place, then
in anot or, for the express purpose of. '
producing it, and it was performed all
over Europe. and sung . into the very
hearts “of the people. . / .
During the war quite a number of ‘
war songs were written that became .
immensely popular, but they possessed
no great merit either in words or music.
and became popular only on account of
the stirring times in which they ap- ~~ . ..
peared. '
Probably no music that was ever
written became more universally pop-
ular than the opera of “Pinafore,” yet
no one could give a reason for it. It ..‘
was written without any special expec-
tation of success, but it caught the-
fancy of the public and rolled Over the
land in a perfect tidal wave, until the
verypeople who welcomed it so enthu-
snastically at first became sick and tired
of it. .The plot was absurd and even
impossible, but the music was good and
might have lived longer if it had grown
“more slowly into favor.
As a general rule popular music will .
bear inspection before making‘its close
acquaintance. It may be good and
may not, and the earnest student, hav-
ing too much reverence for his art to
take up with every chance composition
is wisely conservative in his choice of
muSIc. E. H. JR.
