To say that the last Borough tax is felt to be exceedingly onerous and op- pressive to our tax-paying citizens is but stating it mildly. It is idle now to dis? cuss the question as to whether it would _not have been wiser to have divided the cost of the Main street improvements, and to have paid one-half this year and the remainder-next year. That is all. past, and the tax is legally laid and must be legally collected despite the extreme hardship to many. There has been this plan suggested, however, which, if it be possible to inaugurate, would in a degree lessen the severity of the immediate payment of the tax The plan suggested is to let the Court of Burgesses authorize its Collector to accept one-half the tax now, and the other half next January, when the business conditions of the Borough may reasonably be expected to be improved. It is believed that such a grace could be legally author- ized, and tax-payers permitted to make partial payments on account, when so desired, by their waiving any and all claims on the Collector for the indul- gence. True as Preaching. The Boston Advertiser, noting the in New Hampshire, which was devoted chiefly to politics, and which had sunk $30,- 000 in less than a year, says in conclu- sion : .“Newspapers are a good deal like any other business. They. cannot be made to succeed unless there is a field for them, and they cannot .be made to flourish simply on political grounds. This has been demonstrated so many times that it hardly needs repetition, and the sooner men stop starting pa-, pers in order to help on a campaign, the better it will be for them.” This is as true as preaching, remarks the esteemed Ansonia Sentinel. The newspaper business requires more care, a better understanding of the needs of the community, and genuine business methods than any other business. More- over, the newspaper that becomes a party organ restricts its field to a limit where it does not pay. The chief end Of a newspaper is to give the news ; the news first and foremost, and the hard- est part of the independent editor’s labor is to discriminate between legiti- mate news and more local, idle gossip and personal impertinence. The pubr lic chronicling in a newspaper of the fact that Mrs. Jones has stepped out into her back yard, or'that Mrs. Smith has hung out five pairs of stockings on the clothes-line when there are but four in her family, with dark surmisings as to whom the extra pair belongs, is, to say the least, very low and degraded journalism. To give ALL worthy and important local and general NEWS, and to omit all trifling and unworthy gossip, has been the special :aim and effort of . the GAZETTE, and it has met with the approval of our best people. ”_W. Don’t Waste the Water. The Water Commissioners Of the Borough elsewhere give notice to the water consumers on the line of the Borough water works, of the necessity of an economical use of the Borough water during these summer months. The limited pipe capacity in conveying the water from the storage reservoirs render a careful use, during the heated term, of the utmost importance. While our reservoirs at the present time are full, the main pipe is inadequate for supplying the daily consumption. Water should be carefully used and not wasted. Leaky faucets should be made tight and closets not allowed to run only while in use, and all outside sprinkling restricted to the hours laid down in the rules and regulations. The Commissioners hope, with proper care- fulness on the part of consumers, to keep all legitimate wants for water sup- plied throughout the summer. The de- mand and use of water is now greatly more than expected when ourworks were constructed, and until they are enlarged we shall be compelled to ex- crctiso a careful use of the Borough wa er. , _ A.

The bishop’s fund shows receipts of $12,306 and disbursements, including loans and the bishop’s salary of $5000. were about $11,800, leaving a balance on hand of $459.10. The fund amounts to $100,000. The report of the trustees of the fund for aged and infirm clergy showed receipts from parishes of $3,- 475.98, and total. of $15.421.83. The amount paid to beneficiaries was $5.- 100. The fund now amounts to about $40,000. , _ _ In his address Bishop Williams said in reference to the Book of Common Prayer. ' “To the use of it every clergy- man of either of the orders of the minis- try is bound by the declaration which he makes at the time of _his ordination, as well as by his additional promises. The options that are given in it are, of ‘ course, left to his own. discretion. But beyond this the book is of no binding authority. No individual preferences of bishops, presbyters, deacons, parish- es, or even of candidates for holy or- ders and-lay readers, can discharge this obligation.“ . The members of the standing com- mittee of the diocese elected were: The Rev“ William Tatlock, Samuel Hart, Storrs O. Seymour, E. S. Lines and Henry W. Sherman. The committee on constitution and canons reported adversely on the me- morial from the Fairfield CountyCleri- cal association in.regard to the relief of the aged and infirm'elergy, and a vote was then passed raising a special committee to take 1nto consideration the establishment ef a permanent fund for the aged and infirm clergy of the diocese.

Fanny S. of New ' $Norwalk, Conn., Thursday Evening,l7June 15, 1893. . At Hartford. The bill providing that the Railroad commissioners be appointed. a special commission to act upon railroad im- provements in Bridgeport was on the Senate calendar for action Wednesday. In the absence of Chairman Houlihan it was on motion of Pierce laid over un- til to-day. Mr. Pierce said that it ap- peared to him proper to go slow on a matter which had seemingly evoked the opposition of 4,000 of Bridgeport’s residents.‘ Houlihan subsequently ar- rived and said he had no objection to delay. At his suggestion the bill was made the special order for next Wednesday at 11 o’clock. _ The bill providing for the election of County Commissioners by the people was called from the table where it had been for the past two months, on the favorable minority report of the J udici- ary committee. After considerable dis- cussion it went over until to-day‘on mo- tion of Reed. The following matters on the calen- dar were passed: Incorporating Shel- ton Savings bank; act against fishing nets, seines and weirs for unlawful fish- ing purposes; incorporating Connecti- cut Land an Improvement company of Bridgeport; incorporatin Shelton Street Railroad Co.,; the D. . and M. M. R. club of Fairfield. In the House the two reports on the Corrupt practices act were taken up. Stoddard, of Milford, vigorously at- tacked the bill contained in the _majori- ty report, saying it was impossible for the ordinary citizen to comprehend it after a. careful perusal. He had read it himself and was puzzled as to its im- port in certain respects. One clause he objected to was that limiting a can- didate for Governor to the expenditure of 8600 for election expenses. Mr. Stoddard argued that there were instances in which he might legitimate- ly expend a great deal more in the dis- semination of literature and other means for the enlightenment of voters. Both bills were ordered printed in the session laws and continued to the next session of the General Assembly. Favorable action was taken on the .bill creating a naval reserve force, one company to be located in Bridgeport, although Lounsbury of Darien made a strong speech in opposition. His mo— tion to indefinitely postpone was lost by a ivote of 86 to 72. The Military committee reported a bill providing 'for a representative of the state gov- ernment on Connecticut day at the World’s Fair in October. They recom- mend that the party consist of the Governor and stafi', Lieut. Governor, the U. S. Senators and representatives in Congress, one state senator and two representatives from each county, the speaker of the House and clerks ”of both Houses, one regiment of the Conn. National guard and one company of the Governor’s guards. The state is to pay the expenses—eight days for the millitary and 12 days for the civic Ofli- cm s. ‘ The bills pertaining to horse railroad matters in Bridgeport were tabled un- til to-day. USE DANA’S SARSAPARILLA.IT’S ’ THE KIND THAT CURES." CO. A Puzzler. “Kip” Benedict returned to Norwalk afew weeks ago after a siege of sick- ness in the hospital. He is a painter and a war veteran. During Mr. Bene- dict’s absence a Painters’ Union had been formed in town. On his arrival here he was requested to join the Union and signified his willingness to do so by placing ,the'amount of the imitation fee in the hands of one of the members. In the meantime he had gone to work for the J. T. Prowitt Co., and later for George H. Osterbanks pending action on his admission to the Union which he and his friends con- fidently believed would be favorably decided, upon. He was greatly sur- prised on Tuesday morning to learn that he had been refused admission, and his money was returned. He was not told even for what reason such action had been taken. Possibly the Union. has Just cause for their action, but why they should discriminate in Mr. Benedict’s case, and he acknowl- edged to be a skilled workman and take in those of far less ability, is a puzzler, and should at least be ex- plained to the victim of their disappro- bation.

A Case Which Involves Damages Amount- ing to Five Million Dollars. NEW HAVEN, June 15.——Proceedings in a suit for which more than $5,000,000 profits and damages will be asked have just been started by J. G.

The suit will inVOlve nearly all the leading reaper and harvester manufac- turers of the United States, including the combine and such well known firms as McCormick & Co., of Chicago; Champion company, of Springfield, Ills., and the “food Reaper works. In order to make a. test case suit has first been brought against D. M. Osborne & 00., of Auburn, in the United States district court for the north- ern district Of New York. The. complaint sets up that that company and others had for a number of years been engaged in manufacturing harvesters on which a. device is used the . essentials of which the complainant holds letters patent for. The device in questionis what is known as the trip hook mechanism for delivering or discharging gavels of grain of a uni- form size. The patent which it is claimed that the defendants have been infringing upon was granted to Thaddeus Fowler, of Seymour, Conn., Aug. 29, 1876. The pat- ent, therefore, expires Aug. 29 next. The complainant has been preparing his case for more than nine years, and eight years ago the several manufacturers of the coun-' try were notified that they were infringing.

A one-armed colored man _who had the appearance of hav1ng Indian blood in his veins,was seenion the streetsfi'of the borough, considerably under the Influ- ence of intoxicants, Wednesday after- noon. It was learned that his name was Henry Pease,and his home Bridgeport. He was in receipt of his pension and came to Norwalk to expend It, and he succeeded. He visited several saloons in town, and made the acquaintance of several Sons of Rest, who were only too glad to partake of his hospitality. At an early hour this morning a party came to Ofiicer Northrop and told him that there was a man lying on the grass near the Town House, and that he was groaning as if in great pain. The officer went to the scene and after consider- able effort succeeded in arousmg the fellow. He seemed very much_ dazed but recovered sufficiently _ to give his name. Putting his hand in an meide pocket, he broke out with an exclama- tion, “I have been robbed.” He stated that he had $30 in his pocket when he went to sleep, but seemed unable to ex- plain why it was that he went to sleep where he was found. The officer learned that the last per. sons seen with Pease were Edward An- derson and a man named Smith. In company with Pease officer Northrop searched for Anderson and Smith but .they both disclaimed any knowledge of the alleged robbery, and as there was no evidence against them they were not placed under arrest. _ , It is not generally believed that the man was robbed, but thathe spent _his money at the saloons he waited during the afternoon and evening. ‘He has not been seen about the streets this morning and it is thought that he walk- ed back to Bridgeport. ”mgmm.
