An issue of the DAILY GAZETTE will shortly be published in the interest of Norwalk, East Norwalk 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. This issue will give unusual advantages 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-hear ty support. New Men For The Offices. It has been frequently intimated, says the Post, that Mr. Cleveland is not dis- posed to look with favor on the efforts of those persons who held office under his first administration to secure their - old positions. Of course there" may be exceptions to the rule, but Mr. Cleve- land is said to. desire new blood and new ideas in his second administration, and it may be that he will instruct his Cabinet officers and the heads of his bureaus that they must follow this rule in filling the subordinate places. If this be true there will be much dis- appointment among a large number of ex-oifice-holders who made themselves conspicuous at the Chicago convention . The principal argument used in be- half of'thc ex-office-holders is their ex- perience. Those who advocate their claims say that if Mr. Cleveland choos- es very libs-rally from this class of office- seekers there will be no perceptible jar in the affairs of Government and the machine will run along as smoothly as if there had been no change of admin- istration. Besides this, the .ex-orfice. holders are inclined to the opinion that the first Cleveland administration will not be fully vindicated unless all who officially assisted it are, like Mr. Cleve- land, restored to office. On its face this appears to be a very logical argument. But the Democrats who have never tasted of the sweets of Federal Office will hardly take kindly to the prop osi- tion of the ex-office holders. They be- lieve that the fruits of victory should be passed around. The late campaign ' was conducted on anti-monopoly lines, and they are inclined to the belief that it would be most unjust and inconsis- tent to adopt the monopolistic mode of office-holding. With these conflicting elements appealing to him Mr. Cleve- land will be confronted by a theory that will cause him considerable an: ‘ noyauce. Perhaps he will compromise by striking a happy medium and give the former officeholders and the would- be office-holders equal proportions of the good things. ---————<,->~—-—-—---< BROAD RIVER. .

Every man who starts in life with .a definite purpose aims at success in his undertaking; Some, however, fall where they expect to succeed, and achieve a brilliant success in an entire- ly different direction. , . In a very interesting musrcal novel called “Charles Anchester,” two boy-s are represented as studying the V101!!! under a famous teacher. One of them succeeds, and becomes the celebrated violinist Joachim. The other falls, be- cause he finds in his heart a deep love for the " cold white keys,” as he calls them, of the piano. Being allowed to change his instrument, he too, in this new path, succeeds, and is known to the world as the famous pianist and com ,oser,‘ Sir Wm. Sterndale Bennett. In t ,e study of music many persons fail simply because they have 'chcseu the wrong instru, _ent or the wrong voice, and too muc . care cannot be ex- ercised in putting .a pupil in the right path at the‘befinmng. / ' A new use for the telephoneis that of transmitting the tones of a vocal or instrumental performance for some hundreds of miles in order that a per- former at one end of the line may se- cure an engagement with a manager who, listens and criticises at the other.

The Tribune‘Almanac. The Tribune Almanac for 1893 is early in the field, and is; incomparably the best mauuel of the kind published in Between the famil- iar green covers there‘are 350 pages,- containing a voluminous mass of cur- rent information ou nearly every sub- jectof public concern. So some com- prehensive is its scope and so thoroug- ly digested is the work in all its details that it constitutes a reference library by itself. The topical arrangement is developed with such orderliness that the book has the general effect of, a se- ries of well filled alcoves, in which or- erything is to be found in its right place. At the end there is a carefully elaborated index,which serves the pur- pose of a complete catalogue of the li- brary. The tables relate to foreign trade, banking, , coinage, circulation, pensions, appropriations, army and» navy, the new Congress, reciprocity, laws of the last session, debt, revenues, postage, and similar ' public interests. Full returns of the Presidential elec- tion are presented, and there is a mul- titude of general matters, such .as the World’s Fair, legal holidays, interest, exemptions, naturalization,athletic and racing records. etc. The Tribune Al- manac for 1893 is a work which no in- telligent American can afford to be without. It will be sent post-paid to any address upon the receipt of 25 cents. 0.. . —Hale’s Emulsion of Cod Liver 5 500-tf .o A_ Clerk’s Peculations. Since the departure of young Foster for the West, James E. Wixon, in whose employ Foster was engaged, be- came suspicious that perhaps Foster’s dealings with him were not altogether honest, and investigations since have proved that his suspicions were well founded. _ Mr. Wixon had, previous to Foster’s departure, received a. letter notifying him that young Foster would leave the peddling wagon standing for an hour or two in the cold while he spent his time in an unlicensed saloon near Franklin avenue, and that on coming out he would drive off at a furious rat to make up for lost time. - He showed the letter to Foster but he denied the truth of the same. Mr. Wixon had great confidence in the young man, but his suspicions had been excited and he kept a closer watch over him. - ’ After Foster left town he went over his route and found where his clerk had made several cash sales, for which he made no return to the store, Also that he had several customers whose names did not appear on Mr. Wixon’s books. He found that Foster a week or two before his departure had made several collections from customers of ' which-he (Wixon) had no knowledge. The peculations are believed to have reached quite a’large amount, but over how great a length of time they have continued Mr. Wixon has no way of finding out. ’ \ ——————————-<4~>——--———_— Amusements.

The visit is reported as fol- OWS: - The ‘ commissioner was at his desk and kindly invited him to a seat on the lounge. The conversation opened with remarks about Norwalk and citizens thedfe present. Finally Mr. Seymour sai : ‘f I suppose you knowI have been ap- pornted insurance commissioner. ” _“ Mr. Seymour,” replied the com- missioner, “I cannot recognize your appomtment. I, know what others know, that there were only twelve sen- ators present—not a quorum—when the alleged appointment was made, and that the acting governor who presided had no right to preside.” “ I have submitted my case to coun- sel, Judge Stoddard, and he assures me that the appointment was legal,” re- plied Mr. Seymour. “I am a lawyer myself but being interested have not looked at the case from a judicial point. 1 have not sought the office and do not want 1t, but I suppose I have a duty to perform. The business of the ofi‘ice muSt be transacted, I suppose.” The commissioner said he had not done an official act since Monday and was acting merely as custodian of the property until some one legally his successor appeared. He suggested that a friendly suit be made up and taken to the courts. Mr. Seymour wanted Judge Stod- dard sent for to advise with him but the commissioner said he ought to have counsel also. Mr. C, J. Cole was his attorney and he would like him to come in say to-morrow morning. . _ Mr. Seymour showed his commission slgncd by Governor Morris and said: “Perhaps you would like to see it.” _ The commissioner said he was always interested in looking at commissions Signed by distinguished men. Mr. Fyler declined to vacate the of- fice, and Governor Morris instructed Comptroller Staub to take possession of the office and its contents. The governor declared that the office had been made vacant by law, and that there was no commissioner as far as Mr. Fyler was concerned, his term 'hav- ing expired. Acting upon the orders of the governor, the comptroller im- mediately took possession of the office and all the public property it Contained 1n the name of 'the state. Mr. Fyler quietly turned 1t over, whereupon Mr. Staub'in turn gave it into the care of Mr. Seymour by virtue of his appoint- ment by Governor Morris. Mr. Fyler protested that he onl yielded to force, ‘aud that he reserve all of his riolfts 1n the office. He stated that he w‘guld at once commence legal proceedings to rain possession of the office. After .r. Seymour took charge he held a friendly consultation with his prede- cessor who assured him that he had no personal feelmg in the matter and in- formed him concerning several mat- ters in relation to the office. J udgc Stoddard advised Mr. Sey- mour to make any changes in clerk- ships that he might deem proper. He reappomted Theron Upson chief clerk, and Mr. Wadhams assistant clerk, tem- porarily. Mr. Fyler asserts that he w1ll carry the. matter into the courts and the complications will undoubtedly. result in legal proceedings.
