THE FAVORITE HOME PAPER. Independent in all things ;. Neutral lll naming. The Gazette has.the largest cir- cuiatibn of any paper in Norwaik, and furnishes the lowest advertising rates. ' Our Norwalk Banks. Probably the quarterly statements of our local’b'anks just published in the GAZETTE were never before more care- fully scrutinized in all their details of liabilities and resources, by the general public. .The sparodic epidemic of bank . failures all over the country of unset- tled values and wide and general finan- cial distrust and business apprehension and unrest, it is alsolid and unfeigned . gratification to every friend of Nor- walk and its business prosperity, to turn to our own banking. institutions and contemplate their abundant re- sources and stability. The care and cOnserVntism that obtains here may ap- pear slow to the speculative “ plunger ” who craves only big dividends secured by the purchase of extra-hazardous “ out‘ of town paper,” but it is this same care and conservatism, that. in times like the present, constitute the basis of the perfect confidence which the public reposes in all our Norwalk banks. But. aside from this recognized con- servatism of our local banks, there are other logical reasons which command them to the people. ‘ In the first place, every N orwalk bank has an ample capi- tal with which to carry on its business. Their reserve funds are above the av- erage. N 0 other place in the Union presents safer opportunities for making ' advantageous loans, and the directors and other Officials are men 1 who are ' thoroughly acquainted with the com- munity and are in every manner equipped for the business in which they are engaged. Besides these safe; guards the general business of N orwalk which is related to the banking institu- tions, is Wholly free from fitful and Speculative influences. . , . _, _ The history of bank failures through- out the country is such as to convince those who have given it attention, that finances are safe as long as they are managed in an honest and legitimate manner. The great majority of bank failures are directly due "to the system of unprotected loans that are made for ‘ speculative purposes. Happily for Nor- walkits prosperity is so assured, that it is not necessary to resort to such arti- ficial stimulants, and the‘ substance of our banking institutions is not being continually sapped in this manner. The GAZETTE has enumerated but a few of the advantages our banking institu- tions enjoy, and it is with a feeling of pride it points out these causes for con; gratulation. ' Political Hypocrisy Punished. Before retiring from office, says the Washington Post, President Harrison extended the civil service regulations to all the free delivery post-offices throughout the country. He undoubt- edly proceeded upon the theory that if oivil service reform was a good thing for the large cities it ought to be a good thing for the small towns. Inci- dentally, it may have occurred to him that it would be a convenient thing for the Republican post-office employees to lean upon when the post-o'flicespassed into the hands of the Democrats. At any rate, the order was made, went in- to effect, and now the rural Democrat- ic editors are complaining in the most _ bitter terms. ' The Democratic editors point out many unjust features of, this new state of affairs- in the post-Offices. They show that the employees that are now under protection of the civil service rules were not compelled to pass civil service examinations and that the Dem-' ocrats will be barred from Office by its operation. This is true, but the Dem- ocratic editors will get very little sym- pathy. On the contrary, there are a great many who will. rather enjoy their discomfiture and regard it' as a fitting punishment for their political hypoc- risy. , . ,_ . The “Organ,” editor whose party is out of power, is always an ardent civil sci-Vice reformer. He demands pro- tection for Government employees in its most rigid form. When his party meets in convention to frame a plat- form there is always an editorial de- mand for a civil serVice reform plank. andwhen the platform is completed- this is about the first thing the editor observes whenhe takes up his pen to f‘point with pride.” During thejpast few months-the cause .of. civil service reform has experienced aradioalzchange in,_its_ladvocates, and; at the present time the 'Republican' "editors~ its: . most earner-it champions. One of the results of the civil service and the complaints of thefDemocratic editors at this particular time show up this hypocrisy in. its most virulent form. However, the gentlemen who complain will get very little sympathy from the general public. - ' O. TERSETALES 0F THE-T'lMES. St. Paul’s Guild will meet tO-night.

A Pleasant Surprise. Quite a pleasant episode occurred at the St. Paul’s Rectory a few evenings ago. The chair of St. Paul’s church called upon their former rector. the, Rev. S. T. Graham. Mr. "George H. Bromfield acted» as spokesman for the choir, who assured their old friend and former rector of their love for him and» the very great respect in which he was. held by every member of the choir, and now,‘ that he was about to leave them, they desired to give him some littletoken of their esteem. which he could use in his heavemappointed work, whereupon he“ produced a beautiful private communion service of solid sil- ver, in four pieces, of exquisite design, all in a handsome leather case, satin‘ lined. On the set is engraved these words: “ Rev. S. T. Graham, St. Paul’s Choir, May, 1st, 1893.” It was a com- plete surprise to Mr. Graham, who as- sured them thathe felt deeply moved by this expressic'm of their affection and regard, and that he still felt that they were his chOir still, in a sense that no other in all the world can be, and that in the years to. comehe should feel an interest in their work, and hoped to. hear that they were‘still rising. as they had been, in: ,cfliciencyphaving from -sin~oing..tho most simple.'hymn.»;'5'r_. - »- -~ - x .tnnes, b15311" broughti-ub"-to that" smwmpinvNewYork.

Monday afternoon three ladies drove to Norwalk and left their horse hitched to a post .in front Of Mr. Isaac Lee’s boarding house while they went to do some trading at a dry goods store. Du- ring their absence some one shied a strawberry basket which struck the horse causing the animal to break loose from the post at the same time pulling the bit out of his mouth. A young man named Smith in the employ of Mr. Lee 4 ran out and grabbed the horse by the nostrils. As he did so the horse whirled round and ran across the street when ' Smith lost his hold and came very close to being thrown nuder the horses heels. He, however, gained another hold just as the turnout collided with a team be- longing to George Nichols of Chestnut Hill. The Nichols horse started to run but was stopped by . Jarvis Kellogg. Aboutthe only damage done was the springing of a wheel on Mr. Nichols’ carriage. The pluck of young Smith in hanging on to the runaway horse was remarked upon With great credit to Smith. ._. .0. , The Nash Case. The case of the town of Westport against George R. Nash of NorWalk, for alleged bastardy, was heard before Justice McKenna at Westport yester- day. The state placed two witnesses on the stand, Aggie Mills and Dr. L. T. Day. The testimony of Miss Mills in some parts was beyond human compre- hension, and she contradicted herself as well as the doctor. In the cross' examination of Dr. Day the fact was brought out that when the doctor was on his way to the Mills house in re-. sponse to their call, he was met in an alley by the well known disbarred at- torney, Mose Wilson of Westport, who requested the doctor to ask Miss Mills f‘if she would swear that Nash was the father of her child,” which the doctor did, but did not place her "under oath. From this statement it would appear that Attorney John J. Walsh, for the defense, was doing considerable think- ing when he charged Mose, who is prosecuting, with being in the case for what money he could get out Of it. The defense declined to place any Witnesses on the stand preferring 'tO take the matter to a higher court, which was done, and Nash placed under $500 bonds to appear at the next term of the Superior Court.
