An Extra Gazette. . -

An issue of the DAILY GAZETTE will
shortly be published in the interest of

Converted Office—Seekers.

The ever facetious and always sensi-
ble IVsshington Post, thus defends the
grand army Of patriots eager to serve
their country for their country’s good,
and administers a just rebuke to those
Congressmen and' heads of governmen-
tal departments, who having themselves
safely landed into a coveted and much
labored for office, decry those who
appeal to them for aid in shoving up to
the official pie-counter. It says :—

We are hearing a great deal nowa-i'
days, of the newly installed Official
who. having just retired from the busi-
ness himself, is naturally scornful and
impatient toward those who are still
seeking public place. Impressive and
full of meaning and suggestion are the
pictures we get of this successful per-
sonage as he lounges at his cushioned
case within the pleasant confines which
he is to adorn for the next four years-
Only a week or so ago he was chasing
office even as the yellow dog pursues
the toothsome rabbit. To-day his chest
looks like an orielswindow, his step is
calm and measured, his glance a sol-
emn, thoughtful beam, his manner ser-
ious, his brow contracted in tremor-
dous thought. No longer does he
.buttonhole his Congressman on the
bleak outskirts of the lobby and fish
for influences in every puddle he can
find. The Government has opened
wide its bounteous arms and nursed his
hunger till there is not awrinkle left.

New doth he immure himself in soft-
ly carpeted retreats and post forbid-
ding lackeys at the outer door to turn
away the clamoring throng. Delega-
tions come and he talks with them reluc-
tantly. There is a dislraz’t air about
him, as though he feared the company
might. suffer while his attention wan-
dered. He eyes the anxious ones with
gloomy reprobation, wondering how
men can be so shamelessly importa-
nate,'and wishing they Would go away
and leave him alone with his stateman-
ship and his salary. And, then, occas-
ionally one comes who says he simply
called to Offer deference to greatness;
that he doesn’t want any ofiice at all,
and—but here the personage arises,
his frown dispelled, his speaking feat-
ures wreathed in smiles, and with out-
stretched hand and' trembling voice
bids him thrice welcome to a brother’s
heart and love. Not want'an oiiice!
Then is his soul rejoiced and his whole
being bathed in rapture.

This is the ancient, moss-grown, ivy;
covered humbug presented to us almost
daily in connection with officials great
and small who have not been in ofiice
quite two weeks and who, previously,
were just as eager and zealous in the
chase as any of the panting multitude
they now regard with such distaste.
What nonsense! Why is it disrepu-
table in Brown to§do to-day what Jones
was doing only yesterday, and by what

,right does Jones pass judgement in
condemnation on him ? Why should
not honest citizens who want an Office
call upon thefunctionary within whose
province the appointment lies?'In what
better way could that functionary em-
ploy his time than in meeting applicants
and considering their claims and quali-
ties? There is about these goings~on an
odor that bids fair to strangle one.”

To Suppress Glanders.

The committee on Agriculture after
hearing an explanation by Major L. N.
Middlebrook of the, proposed law to
suppress glanders, voted unanimously
to approve the bill; Under the pro-
posed law all horse owners are held re-
sponsible for handling glandered ani-
mals. The present law only inflicts a
penalty on those :Who knowingly traf-
fic in, and use in public, glandered
horses. . .

It is hard for any officer prosecuting
such cases to show ithat the accused
knowingly kept a diseased horse. The

word knowingly is stricken out of the

proposed new law, and the same penal-
ty of a fine not exceeding $50 or impris-

onmcnt for not more ~.than 30 days, or.

both, is pr Jvided.

Borough Election.

The special Borough election is being
held today, to fill - the vacancies in the
court Of Burgesses caused by the resig-
nations of Burgesses John H. Buckley
and William A. Vogel. It has been
very quietly conducted, and at this
writing a very small vote has been
polled. ‘

There are but two tickets in the
field, one, the regular democratic cau-
cus nomination, which reads as follo ws:

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
' For Burgess.
(to fill vacancy)
WILLIAM MCMIILLEN.

The other ticket ev1dcntly an after-
thought, as both men are democrats,
reads : ‘

CITIZENS TICKET.
For Burgesses
(to fill vacancies.)
ISAAC BOWE,
JAMES SUTHERLAND.

The different saloons in the Borough
are open and doing a thriving business.

Considerable speculation is being in-
dulged in as to the result. May the
best men win.

At the time of 'our going to press
about 250 votes have been polled.

MISS ROBA. .

“Miss Rora,” the new play in which
Miss Akerstrom uses her .trained horse
Gyp and pack of bounds, is not a rough
play as some people might suppose.
She is called Rora, an abbrevmtion of
Aurora, by the two miners who find
her a waif upon the plains._ Brought
up by these men in a mining camp,
their ways are her ways. She loves
the beautiful in nature, knows nothing
of the ways and»manners of society.
After she is taken to _the home of her
grandfather in Louisiana she cannot
at all times forget her free and un-
trammeled life upon the plains, and oc-
casionally makes her grandfather the
subject of her playful pranks. She
foils the attempts of her cousins (who
were theformer heirs) to murder her
grandfather, and when her horse is
changed for another (a Wicked beast)
in the last act, triumphs .over her ene-
mies by her fearless riding, wins the
brush at the fox hunt and her lover as
well. The play is handsomely staged
and has been favorably noticed
wherever produced.

“Miss Rora” will be presented at the 4
Norwalk Opera House Thursday even-'

ing March 23d; Friday the popular
comedy drama, “The Balletl Dancer.”
At the matinee on Saturday “Miss

Too Free—a Countrie.

_“ This is a great and free country,
ain’t it? ” remarked a car driver to the
Italian fruitier, whose tempting nuts
and tropical fruits adorn the entrance
to one of the Mahackemo Hotel series
of city stores, as he helped himself to a
half dozen freshly roasted peanuts.
“It’s a great and free country and no
mistake, ain’t it?” he repeated, as he
munched the purloined delicacies.

“ Quite-a great-a free country!” re-
plied the son of sunny Italy, with em-
phasis on the word “ free.”

“It’s the finest and freest country on
earth,” chimed in a hackman, who had
just drifted up to the stand and snip—
ping off a half dozen Malagas, which
found their way uninvited to his ca-

pacious mouth.

_ f‘ Vera much-a a free-a country,” re-

She Gives Black Milk.

Robert Hansborough of Chillicothe,
0., is the owner of the “eighth wonder
of the world,” a cow that gives coal-
black milk. The cow is a mixture of
Jersey and Durham, and was raised on
the Hansborough farm, as was also her
mother and many' sisters, none of
whom exhibited any peculiarity in the
color of their milk. Mollie, as this
phenomenal creature is called, has
reared five or. six: calves, all of whom
hay]? lived and grown fat on the black
mi .

' The milk produces _a fair amount of
cream. This cream isa trifle lighter

in color than the milk itself, and,‘

when churned, makes a kind of butter
that resembles a thick mixture of coal
tar. Paradoxical as it may seem this
butter is as palatable as though ofa
golden yellow, and it, is said to be
highly relished by the whole? Hans-
borough family.

At first, when the peculiar Color Of'

Molliels. milk was discovered by the
person to whom was allotted‘ the task
of “breaking the cow in,” the family
was afraid to use it in any way. . When
they saw that the calf was waxing fat
on the liquid tar the younger members
of the family overcame their prejudices
and within a few days the milkihwas
being used as if it had been of the
regulation color. ,

DITOR AZETTE: In a Tinted co ,
of the By-laws of the Borgugh of Nd);
walk- I find the following : Chapter vi,
Section 2, “Whenever a tax shall be
laid by the Borough upon a list there- V
after to be completed the Clerk shall
notify the Assessors and the Assessors
shall forthWItn insert in three modes-
s1v_e issues 0 a newspaper published
Within the Borough a notice to all per-
sons liable to pay taxes therein re-
quiring them _w1thin thirty days from
the first publication of said noticerto

give to the Assessors lists verified by

their. oaths of all taxable property be-
longing to them on the day when said.
tax shall have been laid with the par-,
ticulars of all their property liable to
be assessed or valued in the Borough.”
The tax voted on January 16th having
been rescinded. it is doubtful whether
a tax can be legally laid on the list '
now'being perfected on the 12th day of .
April. next. Ican see no way out of
the diflicultv but by getting an enab-
ling act passed by the Legislature al-'
low1ng the Borough to lay taxes on.
the list of January 16th 1893.
