A Mugwump Quarantine.
In addition to the general reasons
advanced concerning the President’s
latest" order, it is barely possible that
the importunitiesof the Mugwump cf-
fice seekers that have been in progress
since the 4th of last March had much
to do with closing the White House
doors. It is true that the Mugwumps
have not monopolized the ofiice-seek—
ing business, but they have been so
persistent and the number of their ap-
plications has been so sadly out of pro-
portion to the votes they poll and the
influence they exert that Mr. Cleve-
land was, no doubt, forced to seek se-
clusion in order that the other inter-
eSts of the Democratic party might be
properly served.
Mr. Cleveland’s Latest Order.
The announcement officially promul-
gated by the President to the effect
that he has no longer the time nor the
to applicants for Office has created a
genuine sensation in Washington and
elsewhere, and will naturally elicit more
or less unfavorable. comment.
In the hasty judgement here and
there of those who are directly affected
by the order, or who may consider
their interests jeopardized thereby, says
the Washington Post, it will be pro-
nounced unjust and arbitrary, without
palliation or precedent, undemocratic,
and to that extent unpatriotic, and in
an especial sense offensive and ungrate-
ful to multitudes of deserving party-
workers who have done yeoman ser-
vice for Mr. Cleveland in three conse-
cutive campaigns. - f
Such a criticism, however, necessar-
ily presupposes on thepart of the Pres-
ident a design to alienate himself from
the party to which he owes repeated
honors and from the Congress whose
legislative co-operation he cannot get
along without, and the sober second
thought that is sure. to supplement the
first. hasty judgement will not be able
to reconcile itself to such a strange
and unnatural conclusion. I
When sensible and intelligent Dem-
ocrats come to think of it they will
scout the idea as absurd that the Presi-
dent desires to wreck his party or to fo-
ment a rupture between Congress and
himself. ,, _ I
It is undoubtedly true, as Mr. Cleve-
land says that the applications for ofiice
ten for the last two months have been
“bewildering in volume, perplexing
and exhausing in their iteration, and
impossible of remembrance ; ” ' and
when he adds that applicants will only
“prejudice their prospects by repeated
importunity and by remaining at Wash-
ington to await results,” he simply
gives them to understand that he means
everything he says, and that the wise
thing to do would be to heed his admon-
ition.
In taking this course the President
has simply done what every President
before him has at one time or another
felt like doing, but lacked the nerve to
do. ’

National bank who is charged with em-
bezzling funds of the bank amounting

backward one for their business, and
that it had been hard work to make
collections. He said that their deal-

and" expressed surprise at the action
of the firm in placing the attachment.

The Money Secured.
. The $2, 000 taken by William C. Nich-
ols, a bookkeeper in the employ of the
Star Shirt factory at Bridgeport. was
returned to Mr. - T. S. Morison Tues-
day by young Nichols, and $4,500 also
given as security to cover whatever
loss the company may have suffered by
Nichols’ peculations. ' Young Nichols
was found near his home in Long Hill
and was willing to give himself and the
money up, but as Mr. Morison re-
ceived the stolen money intact and am-
ple security he has generously refused
to prosecute the culprit and will give
him another trial in hopes that a les-
son has been taught him.
Mr. Morison called at this office last ,
evening and stated that the Bridgeport
press as well as the GAZETTE had kindly
acceded to his wishes in keeping the
matter quiet until he could secure
young Nichols. while another local
paper in the town had promised to do
so but had failed to keep their promise.

Henry L. Goodwin of East Hartford
told the railroad committee yesterday
afternoon that it would be a matter of
public interest should it see fit to in-
vestigate the leasing b the New York,
New Haven & Hartfor Railroad Com—
pany of the Housatonic Railroad. He
intimated that by acquiring a majority
of the stock of the Housatonic the New
York road had leased the other-to itself
and then froze out the minority stock-
holders exactly as’ was done in the case
of the Connecticut Western. .
The hearing was on a resolution to
invest gate the lease in question, which
had been referred to the committee
without - any, instructions whatever.
Mr. Goodwin denied being a party .to
it and as the. person who drew up the
resolution did not appear, .. nothing
came of the matter.. The .

THB'ARMY BILL MUST BE PASSED. '
lie Charges the Majority of the Late
Reiclistag with Indifference to the Wel-
fare of Their Country, and Bisn-m-ck’s
Organ Protests Against the Impui :ition.
BERLIN, May 10.—After the revlzw of
the troops on the Templehoflfer lie. i yes-
terday, Emperor \Villiam commazi.‘.._-d the
highest officers of the guards to ..:ither
round him and addressed to them these
words:
“Since we last met, the situation created
by the army bill has shown peculiar
changes. I could not look forward to the
rejection of the bill. On the contrary,
trusting to the patriotism of the reichstag,
I hoped for the unconditional acceptance
of it. The result has caused me deep dis-
appointment and sorrow. I regret - that
the patriotic men who were in the min-
ority did not succeed in defeating those
who were indifferent to the welfare of _
their country. During the last few days
passionate words, which might better llaVe .
remained unsaid among gentlemen, have
been spoken. '
"I was obliged to dissolve the reichstag
in the hope that the new reichstag would
pass the bill. I am determined, in case
this hope shall also be disappointed, to
stake all in my power to obtain the enact«
ment of the measure, for I am too- thor-
ougly convinced of its necessity as a guar-
antee of the peace of Europe to cite w it to
be finally defeated.
“We are hearing much about the excite-
ment of the masses just now. I do not
think the German people will allow illi‘!.i-
selves to be excited by irrepressible my .-
dlers. On the contrary I know that. I an
in sympathy with the princes of the feu-
eral states, the people and the army.”
The emperor spoke very slowly, pausing
slightly after every sentence, and em-
phasized all significant words, as if to
direct attention to the seriousness of the
situation and the firmness of his resolution
to win. The speech has caused a tighten‘
ing of the general tension, and is the sole
topic of conversation throughout the city.
The tendency of public opinion is towards
the conviction that the emperor is point.
ing straight for the goal of Prussian rc-
actionaries and that he will not‘ shun a
conflict with constitutionalism. ‘
The correspondent of the United Press
was assured bfficially that the emperor did
not wish his speech to be read as a. menace
to the reichstag, or as a challenge to con-
flict.
“On the contrary,” said the informant,
_. “his majesty desires the most scrupulous "
adherence to constitutional forms. He
feels strongly, however, the urgent need
of reforming the reichstag. he cannot
govern with a. rei‘chstag split into ten'
political parties, among whom majorities
are constantly forming against the gov
ernment on vital issues.” _
Prince Bismarck’s Hamburger Nach-
richeten protests. against stigmatizing as -
unpatriotic the deputies who voted against
the army bill. The majority, it says, dif-
fered from the government only as .to the
amount of the increase.
The Freisinnige Zeitung, edited by Eu‘
gene Richter, says that since the time of
Frederick William parliament has not be.
fore been criticized on the parade ground.
