The Gazette has the largest clr-‘ culation of any paper in Norwalk, and furnishes the lowest advertising rates. Discipline. ‘ An item appeared in the columns of the GAZETTE on Tuesday, to the effect that complaint had been made of the violation by a teacher in the Center School of rule 7, which prohibits the keeping of scholars after school for a longer period than half an hour. In order that the. rule referred to. may be understood we publish it in full: . “7.——Teacliers may detain scholars not to exceed half an hour, at the close ., of the afternoon session, but at no other time, for discipline, or to make up neglected lessons. (In the lower grades or classes fifteen minutes will be the limit,) and no additional pen- alty shall be imposed to be enforced out of school hours, or which shall in- ierferewith their studies during school ours. ’ . Since the publication of the violation of the above rule the GAZETTE has been informed that the teachers pro- pose to keep scholars after school just as long as they please, board or no board of school visitors, which suggests the inquiry as to whether the teachers are running the public schools or the school visitors elected by the people. .0.

The committee on cities and boroughs reported to the Senate the general electric street railway bill in which so much interest has been manifested. It covers, 14 pages of type-written man- uscript and is very complete. The bill gives unusual power to municipal gov- ernments. It provides that any road desiring permission to operate in a city or town must designate to the munici- pal authorities its plans, layout and the quality of rails it proposes to use, as well. as its motive power and the man- ner in which saidpower is to be applied. The municipal authorities may adopt these plans With any necessary amend- ments, and a failure to act upon them within 60 days shall be deemed a fail- ure to accept or approve them. The railway company must comply at its own expense with all orders issued by the municipal authorities, and if it refuses it. can be compelled to do so by mandamus proceedings. When the grade of a street is altered the company shall remove its tracks at its own expense and conform with the grade. Any company obtaining a charter at the Session of the General Assembly, commencing 1893, and not completing its road before the next regular session, shall forfeit its charter. Any road not operating its line within that time shall be compelled to take up its tracks, and in case of failure so to do the city shall remove the tracks at the expense of the company. The bill also compels the company to pave between and on both sides of the tracks. and keep these portions in a condition acceptable to the city. When repairs are ordered they must be made Within 30 days. Street railway companies shall not carry merchandise or baggage except small packages carried by passengers unless the railroad commissmners give permissmn for special transportation under the regulations. ,, No line can be constructed parallel-. ing a steam railroad, except in case of puplic_ necessity, when the railroad commissmners shall call a public hear- ing. The last section of the bill pro- vides that it shall go into effect imme- diately upon its passage, and shall be an amendment to all street railway charters now in existence. The bill took the regular course. Governor Morris sent to the Senate the nomination of Edward R. Doyle of Hartford as bank commissioner to fill the unexpired term of Stephen Goodrich from now until July 1. Mr. Doyle was originally appointed to sue- ceed Mn.

That the government appreciated and Cor- dially reciprocatcd the action of her ma- jesty was already demonstrated by the prompt elevation of the mission of the United States in England to the same dignity with which Sir Julian was in- , vested.
