An Extra Gazette.
An issue of the DAILY GAZETTE will
shortly be published in the interest Of
Norwalk, East N orwalk and South
Norwalk, and is intended to embrace a
complete list of the business and pro-
fessional men, showing‘what facilities
we have to offer to manufacturing and
other industries to locate in the town.

to our business men to widely circu-
late their interests. An authorized
agent for the GAZETTE will call on the
business and professional men, and we
feel confident they will give the enter-
prise their hearty support.
Another Great Vilar Ship.
The big battle ship Indianna was
launched yesterday into the waters of
the Delaware from the shipyards of
the Cramps. She is one of the most
formidable vessels ever built for our
navy, and .there is no nation of Europe
that would not be proud to own her.
In construction she will rank with
the very greatest triumphs of marine
— warlike architecture, and it is a matter
of pride to every American that the
native genius has laid down her lines,
devised the splendid armament with
which she will be equipped,‘ and,
above all, that our own artisans have
executed the conceptions of her crea-
tors.
09.—
The M’Garrahan Claim.
The bill for the relief of William Mc-
Garrahan having been so modified as
to obviate the objections hitherto en-
tertained to it by the President and
favorbly reported upon in both Houses,
is in a fair way to pass at the present
session, if the few minutes necessary to
dispose of this long-pending and meri-
torious measure can once be secured.
A motion will be made in the House at
the first convenient opportunity by
the Hon. Marcus A. Smith to suspend
the rules and pass the bill, which sub-
mits to the court of private land claims
for adjutication the title of Mr. Mc-
Garrahan to the property in contro-
versy. The Speaker has been reques-
ted by 151 Members and Delegates, of
whom 131 are Democrats, or 12 more
than a majority of all the Democratic
members, to recognize this motion, in
which event the passage of the bill is
assured. '
Inasmuch as the bill carries no ap-
propriation, but simply provides for
ascertaining the rights of a private citi-
zen, who has time and again had am-
ple assurance, both in Senate and
House. of the fundamental justice of
his claim, it is to'bc hoped that Con-
gress will not adjourn without final
action in the premises.
How About that Treaty ?
Mugwumps and Dodos enjoy~ one
great advantage—they do not acknow-
ledge any obligation of consistency.
The New York Evening Post and the
St. Louis Republic, for example, Op-
pose the Hawaiian annexation treaty,
employing as their chief argument the
assertion that the whole movement is a
sordid conspiracy to capture the sugar
bounty, although they have always
contended and still contend, when
speaking in other connections, that the
sugar bounty was doomed by logic of
Mr. Cleveland’s election,says the Wash-
ington Post.
Ordinary people would be hampered
in their polemics by the consideratiOn
that, if the sugar bounty be fated to
extermination, the conspirators in Ha-
waii are hardly likely to make it the
inspiration of their stratagem ; but the
,Mugwump Post and the Dodo Repub-
lic go right along making that thread-
bare “property” do double and con-
tradictory duty, and never, apparently,
suspecting that they are anything but
the dignified, seductive, and superior
creatures they profess to be. : Both Of
these remarkable newspapers sneer at
what common people regard as nationm
al feeling. Both look upon pride Of
country as stupid and vulgar. .Both
denounce the Navy as a mischievous
and brutal agency, and both reject the
idea that an Opinion differing from
- theirs can by on y possibility be honest
and intelligent. This it is to be a Mug-
wump or a Dodo or both. Thus only
can human beings and institutions be
infallible. _
It is to he hoped that the next Sen-
ate wiil- take prompt and favorable
action upon the treaty. The. Demo.
cratic party cannot well assume the
responsibility of, defeating a movement
so obviously in the best interests of the
country, and the Democratic-'fparty
must feel that it is pledgedji’t the same.

tion of its errors, for it will be in a
position to realize its scheme of gov-
ernment. The country is waiting to

revenue reform to which it has so

whether it will carry out those plans of

always claimed a special and exclusive
fitness. The Democratic millennium

MUSIC HALL.
Mark Murphy, the star of O’Dowd’s
Neighbors, the play which will be seen
at Music Hall Friday night, is well
known as one of the most successful
exponents ”of Irish fun. He Wlll be
remembered as one of the old comedy
firm Of. Murray 8; Murphy, and also in
the comed role of the “ Sheriff ” in
Hallem' & Hart’s “Later On.” In the
role.of Dionicius Caesar O’Dowd he is
said to find a part peculiarly suited to
his talents. .
Roger Dolan will be seen in the oppos-
ite role to Mr. Murphy and fills the
part very cleverly.
Miss J'ennie‘ Murphy, whose pretty
face and charmin «voice have long cap-
tivated New YorIr :audiences, is also

that the draw as at present located is
in too close proximity to the reeks and
dangerous to navigation.
The War department’s order will
probably necessitate the construction

of the newly elected chief Wallace

TRENTON, N. J., March 1.—T.here was
another fight over the racetrack bills in
the House yesterday. Mr. O’Brien offered
a resolution that the Assembly adjourn
last night for the week. The resolution
was adopted. Some time afterward Mr.
Hutchinson very indignantl-y offered a
resolution to the effect that Mr. O’Brien’s
He said that it
was offered for the purpose of avoiding
gthggneeting of the citizens to be held to-
s" ”
(v
The Speaker said that lie was known to
be in favor of the race track bills, but he
would say that this resolution was offered
so that those who wished to‘ go to Wash-
ington today might do so. As to shirking‘
the mass meeting, he said the superin-
tendent of the Capitol would take notice
that no one had been given permission to
hold such a meeting.
Mr. Hutchinson, more indignant than
ever, denounced Mr. Flynn’s speech as a
“flagrant violation of the people’s
rightsJ.’ Continuing, he said every effort
to give the people a hearing had been
continually voted down. Mr. Lane ex-
plained that he and others had urged the
resolution because they wanted to go to
the inauguration, but the speaker had
opposed the idea. on the ground that there
was plenty of work for the House to do.
Mr. Barrett offered a resolution that
permission be given citizens to meet in
the Assembly Chambers and protest
against anymatter before the Legislature.
Speaker Flynn put the question, and do.
elated the resolution lost.
The people propose to hold their in-
dignation meeting in the Assembly
Chamber just the same. They have se-
cured permission from tho Superintend-
ent of the Capitol, the legal custodian of
the chamber, to meet there, but the
Legislature will be away, as it adjourned
for the week.
The Senate held an executive session
but did not confirm Gov. Abbott’s nom-
ination for~Judge of the Supreme Court.
President Admin and his other enemies
atestill working against him and declare
that instead of withdrawing their op-
position they are determined to bring
about his defeat. ‘
The Senate and House have both passed
the bill introduced for the purpose of
crippling Mayor Wanser. The Governor,
it is thought, will not sign it.
President Everard Kempshall of the
Citizens’ League has telegraphed to every
point in the State, calling upon the citi-
zens to come to this c by to attend the

has been secured for the big meeting in

United States Court.
The February term of the United
States district court came in at New
Haven yesterday.
There were altogether twenty-three
criminal cases on the docket to be dis-
posed of, eleven of which were new
ones. Only one of the old cases, that
of Otto Krommuller, of Norwalk,
charged with selling liquor without
paying the United States special tax,
was called. Krommuller. was arrested
in January, 1892, and was released on a
$500 bond furnished by John J. Han-
lon. Shortly'after Krommuller fled
his bond and suit to recover the amount
was instituted against Hanlon.
Last week Hanlon went to Philadel-
phia, found Krommuller and brought
him to Norwalk. Krommuller claims
that he had been kidnapped. He plead-
ed guilty to-day and was fined $100.
Unable to pay this he was sent to jail.
The case against his bondsman was
nolled on payment of costs.
The first of the new cases that came
up was that of Cora Isabel], charged
with opening a letter addressed to'
George Thompson of that place. Miss
Isabell was a clerk in the postoffice at
Hotchkissville and opened letters sent
by Thompson’s brother, a drug'clerk
of New Haven, who had preViously
paid her some attention. The United
States inspector not being present at
court the case was continued until the
next term.
Nelson J. Allender. until recently
postmaster of New London, charged
with embezzlement, pleaded guilty and
was fined $100. _
Charles H. 'Itussell. of Bridgeport,
charged with holding pension certifi-
cates as collateral security, pleaded
guilty and was given the full penalty,
$100 fine and costs.

with selling liquor without havin paid

Selectmen at Hartford.
About seventy-five members of the
Selectmen’s association of Connecticut
were present at the meeting in Hart-
ford. George W. Fowler of Hartford
presided and Samuel Daskam of Nor-
walk acted as secretary in the absence
of Colonel Doherty of Waterbury.
There was a general discussion of the
military laws, Selectman LeWis of Can-
ton arguing that the state is supporting
a larger military forcejthan there is any
necessity for. .
A committee of eight was app‘omted
on legislation as follows : Samuel Basset
of New Britain, Charles N. Jones of
Wallingford, Clifton Peck of Franklin,
Charles B. Woodward Of Middletown,
James Stewart of Salisbury, O. W.
Bowen Of Killingly, Edward J oslyn of
Tolland, and Samuel .Daskam of Nor-
walk.
The subjects discussed were the
clearing of country roads and the pow-
ers of the boards of relief. 11: was the

EDITOR GAZETTE :—
The writer has given attention to
the notices of abatement, and the dis-
cussions which have appeared in the
GAZETTE of late, also that which the
Statutes Sec. 3836 and See. 3837 . re-
quire. If Bank Stbck, Bonds, Cash,
&c., the recognized standards of valua-
tion, which are good for their face val-
ue at any time, and often for a pre-
mium, are entitled to an abatement, by
the Board of Relief,tlie question natur-
ally presents itself where are nine-
tenths of real-estate and buildings held
by other tax-payers to appear, which
can scarcely be sold. when just com-
pleted, for 75 per cent. of the best man-
aged cOst of construction, and under
the most favorable combination of cir-
cumstances, as every one knoWB, if
he has ever attempted to sell, and the
time-worn structures still worse. The
same will be found true of _ personal
property generally. Will some of the
readers 0 the GAZETTE, please let us
know where is the justice of the claim
for an abatement. or by what other
standard of valuation are these other
things to be rated, and, clear up, this
point.
