”No Reflection Intended.
The Stamford Advocate is in‘ error
in thinking’that the .GAZETTE_, did the
obliging Stamford telephone operators
an injustice iiitsf article on Thursday.
We had no intention Of reflecting on
them and dot? our hat and ask to be
.fOrgiven if sounderstood. The Stam-
ford Operator‘rCSponded to Norwalk’s
call with an-alacrity that would have
been refreshing to telephone patrons
in Norwalk. "What we did complain Of
though, was being shut off at this end
of the line without any" notice what-
ever and being told‘i when we enquired
of our central Office that the Advocate
folks had gone away, when no such
message had been returned by the
Stamford operator. ‘
The Army of the Dlsappointeo.
‘Among the shoals and quicksands
that beset the Democratic party is the
“army of the disappointed.” This was
a factor that the managers of Mr. Har-
rison’s campaign entirely overlooked.
in making up their combinations, but '
one that entered largely into his de-
feat, and; this element will always be a
menace to any political party desiring
to win the second time. _Eight years
ago Mr. Cleveland desiring to burn in-
cense before the Mugwump Buddha
made but few removals and but few ap- -
pointments, and when he came upfor
re-electionvthe army of the disappoint-
ed were verypoor fighters, and Mr. Har-
rison 'won' “ hands down.” But Mr.
Harrison made the "same mistake, and
he too recruitedran armny the disap-
pointed in his own party who were
worse than raw recruits. This is proven
by the election returns 'which show
that the Harrison vote, fell away more
than the Cleveland vote increased.
Voters blamed Cleveland or Harrison.
and struck them down on election day,
but their hands Were tied by the civil
se'rviCe law which everybody hates, but
which none have the; courage to, corn-7
bat,'such .a bugaboo is the Mugwump
vote. Our young men take an interest
on public questions, stir up the luke-
warm, encourage the timid and win a
victory. But when. they ask for recog-
nition they are ' blandly informed that
the civil service law stands in .theway
and unless they take an examination
and their chances for an appointment
they must stay out in the wet.
Mr. Cleveland has‘ ucceeded Mr.
‘ Harrison and is pursuing the same .tac-
and Mr. Harrison’s in 1892. . .
. The only thing that may save the
Democracy from the indifference of
the army of the disappointed is that
there will be a new man in the field,
which may prevent 'apathy from doing
its deadly work. After a while the
young men of both Of Our great politi-
cal parties will see that to advance the
interests Of their respective party with
' the hope of being in any way identified
with its administration is a waste Of
time so long as ' civil,service reform is
put ahead. of the tariff and every other
policy of any administration. The
DemOcrats have great hopes‘of fasten-
ing tariff reform upon the country, but
in 1896 they will be laid out,’as were
the Republicans last fall, and that too
by the indifi‘erence of the young men
of the party, who will probably ’go ’
fishing when the next presidentialelec-
tion day rolls round. In 1888 Norwalk
gave Mr. Harrison. 350 majority, but
how many Republicans or their friends
obtained any recognition? Last. fall
our Democratic friends madea credit-w
able showing, but how many Of them
will get any consideration from the ap-
pointing powers ? They ’may apply
but only to be told that there is but
one doorway to an office now-a-days—
civil service reform. The outlook that
the next President will be a Republi-
can is encouraging inasmuch as the
army of the disappointed is now being
recruited from the ranks of the-Dem~‘.
ocracy. This condition Of, affairs is
strong evidence of the inexplicable in-‘
fluence of the Mugwump whose num-
bers are contemptible, but who- gets
the Obeisance of both parties. . N
If the young men of 'thiscountry dew
site to hold positions of honor and
trust under the administration of their
choice they must combine and demol-
ish the civil service law, a law so ridic-f
ulous that itsown- father was ashamed:
of it and-induced: a fellow member to
introduce it on the-.flOOr Of Congress. ‘V '

et and the bread and butter problem is.
mere trash. alongside of the civil ser-
viCe law. ‘ _
Mr. Cleveland hopes to reformj'_‘tlie
tariff and introduce a new policy, but
he will hardly get his law in working
order before a Republican congress
and a Republican president will undo
all his work, and they will be placed in“
power by the army of the disappOinted.
The pendulum, will swing 'back and
forth in-this way until partisans leave.
politics to the Mugwumps, who claim
toib’eablc to hasten the millen«ium,-and
betake themselves to other callings.
We think it wrong, however, that our
tariff - policy should be subordinate to
the civil service law as it clearly is.
But the civil service Commission. has
come -_to stay. That $35,000 per annum
paid out in salaries to keep young men
out of Oflice will always puta halo about
the. institution, and make it extremely
desirable *to professional reformers,
who in their annual reports can smear
themselves and the Commission all
over with tafi'y an inch thick.
Great is civil service reform, but it
means a new-president every four years
and radical and disturbing influences
in our tariff policy. ,

The resolution Introduced early in

postponed.
The committee appointed to inquire
into charges ‘Of ballot box stuffing in
connectionrwith the election of Arthur
B. Warner as'judge Of the Litchfield
Court of Common Pleas reported.
They find that there‘is good reason for
doubting the correctness of the first
ballot, as the count Showed 120 votes,
whereas from the best evidence Obtain-
able the number of members in the
chamber was not more than 90. The
vote on reconsideration, taken an hour
later did not afford any test of the cor-
rectness of the first ballot. The . com—
mitte do not believe however,flthat a
correct vote would have changed the
result as declared and: in view of this
and the loose method existing of ' elect-

mend adoption Of‘further regulations

The committee on Temperance re-
ported adversely on the bills repealing
the law prohibiting clubs in no license
towns to sell liquor, prohibiting the
sale of adulterated liquors, and relat-
ing to license applications. All were
rejected. The committee reported fav-
orably on bills relating to seizures of
liquors, relating to the disposition of
liquors and the final judgment and re-
pealing the disclosure law. ,
In the debate on the medical practice
act, Senator Fox said that under it,
after next October only those physicians
may practice who are registered by a
commission appointed by the Governor,
representing the several schools Of
medicine. Persons already practicing
will need no examination. The bi
does not apply to persons practicing

York may by complying with the pro-
visions of the bill practice in Connec-

it was rejected by 5 to 12.

- An Interesting Divorce Case.
A Norwalk divorce case which prom-
‘ised to be interesting, says the Bridge-
port Union, was practically squelched
in the Clvil Superior court yesterday
afternoon by Judge Hall. It was the
application for a decree of separation
from his wife, Louise, made by George
M. Hanf through his attorney. Col.
Frost of N orwalk. The ground alleged
was adultery. A vital point was the
question of Hanf’s period of residence
In this state. He failed miserably to
satisfy Judge Hall upon this point. He
was unable to decide in his own mind
whether he entered the state in Octo-
ber 1889, or in October 1890. He was
faction of the judge whether or not he
lived in Connecticut or Brooklyn after
. J udcge Hall said: “This ' witness
shoul .have come prepared .tO tell his
stery, It 18 late and I shall have to con-
tinue the case.” This didn’t suit Attor-
ney Frost who said that he was pre-
pared to show by witnesses present that
his client’s, failure to tell his story was
not due to any lack of untruthfulness
on his part. Two witnesses were heard
andthe case continued. ’
- ' Hanf came from Brooklyn to Roway-
ton at. a periodundetermined. He is a
traveling ‘man and it is alleged his wife
took advantage of her husband’s fre-
quent absence from home to betray the
conjugal relationship. When detected
by her husband she left the village.
The pair have three. children. Hanf

Missing Girls.
. Annie Schwartz, aged 15, and Maggie
Chagnon, aged 14, residents Of the
West End, have been missing since last
Saturday night. Their parents think
that they have eloped witn some actor,
as they were forever talking about go-
ing on the stage. ‘
They had been practicing Skirt danc-
ing, and were quite proficient. Where
Annie was you could always find Mag-
gie. They were close friends and nev-
er cared to wander alone. Both are
pretty and they had ‘made more than
one youth in the city weary chasmg
them around. 'Broad street was their
favorite stamping ground.
' Saturday evening they left home, but
said nothing to an one about their not
coming back. T police were not noti-
fied until Monday. Since then they have
been diligently at work looking up the
miSsin girls’ whereabouts. They have
learns that the two were seen at the
.firo Saturday night, and later they
were seen at the corner of State and
Main street.
he thinks his daughter is in South Nor-
walk with “ Jim Toole,” a young man
who had been hanging around various
in this city the past six weeks. The
Chagnon girl does not seem to have
any friends who care to take the trou-
ble to_look her up.—Bridgeport News.
