The Gazette has the largest cir—

No‘Time for Partisanship.

“ Though in a minority and not now
accountable for the deeds of Congress,
every one of the Republican members
of the two houses should be in his
place when the session begins, and
should work and vote at every oppor-
tunity for the repeal of the law which
so sharply menaces the Nation: .It is
no time to think of playing politics or
of setting traps for an opponent.”—Bos-
ton Journal. -‘

This, says the independent Washing-
ton Post, is wholesome advice. The
object of the _extra session as under-
stood in business circles and by the
people at large, is not to playa game
of politics, but to do something practi-
cal for the relief of the country from-
hard times.

If the sole purpose of the extra ses-
sion were to measure the political
strength Of parties in Congress, or if

purpose, it were better that the session
had not been called, for nothing good
can come of it. . Let us first find a cure
for the ills "that now weigh upon the
public prosperity. Their causes can be
filed away to be fought over after the
remedy is administered.

If it is found that the Sherman act is
the incubus that needs to be lifted, let
the act be repealed. It is unnecessary
and unimportant to waste time at a
critical juncture like the presdiit in
angry controversy as to the circum-
stances under which this measure was
passed or whose is the direct responsi-
bility for it, or whether President Har-
rison erred in signing the .bill, or whe-

ther or not he should have signed a free .

coinage bill, had there been no com-
promise short of that ; the essential
thing is to get the act off the statute.
book in time for its repeal to be of be-
nefit to the country.

What next to do is equally outside of
politics and must be discussed and
done on broad. patriotic grounds, and
within legitimate limits. The people
want a new deal and they want it quick.
The old straw can be thrashed over in
next year’s Congressional campaigns if
it is to be thrashed over at all.

If Congress will repeal the purchas-
ing clause of the Silver bill, extend N a-
tional bank circulation to the face value

of their Government bonds, and resolve .

not to repeal the tariff. and then ad-
journ, confidence would be at once res-
tored, and business again made to boom
in less than thirty days. '
Another Chinese Puzzle.

The Philadelphia Times gives a most
interesting narrative of the condition
of a Quaker City celestial laundry-man
who is in a state Of wild bewilderment
in his efforts to comprehend and comply
with our inhuman and demagogical
Geary Chinese extradition law. It
says : .

The law of May 5, 1892, having pro-
vided among other things that all Chi-
namen who desire to remain in the
United States should secure a certifi-
cate Of registry from the Internal Re-
venue Collector of the district in which
they reside, Lee Kee, of South Fourth
street, was one of the few Chinamen
who thought they had taken a bond of
faith by providing themselves with such
certificates. And now Commissioner

tificate is no good because he has failed
to prove that he had properly complied
with the confusing conditions of all the
acts relating to‘ Chinese immigrants
preceding that of May 5, 1892.

To cap the climax of Lee Kee’s woes
Commissioner Edmunds also decides
that the celestial with a certificate that
doesn’t go must be locked up until the
Government has money enough in the
Treasury to pay his passage back to
China. This is strictly according to
law, but to the pagan mind of Lee Kee
it will seem a good deal like rubbing it
in on the Chinaman. He is politely
informed that he is in this country con-
trary to law, because there is no money
to pay his passage. and that he must go
to jail because the United States Gov-
ernment can’t enforce its own law at
this particular juncture.

There is only one deeper depth into

is to get into an insane asylum by try-
ing to fathom the intricacies and con-
tradictions of American law upon the
Chinese question. Probably he had
better stay in jail and quit trying to
fathom the unfathomable.

Thepoor Chinese Philadelphia‘ ‘wash-
ce—wash—ee,” is discounted by a bro-

York Tombs and sets up the defence
that he could not and cannot comply
with the provisions of the Geary law,
because he is shut up in prison.. His
doleful plea comes up from the Tombs,
as to what he can do and what is to be-
come of him under these circumstances.
He is willing and indeed anxious to be
released and sent home to China, but
New York state law will not permit
this. It is, indeed, a knotty question
to know what to do with the Mongo-
lian.

‘ At Rest.

The wave of sympathy which spread
throughout the community at the un-
timely demise of the idol Of one Of our
typical Norwalk homes, and where so
recently she stood a radiant br_1de, con-
verged yesterday afternoon about the
casket where the peaceful slumberer
lay in bridal robe and embowered in
ferns and flowers, and where amid the
large company of sorrowmg friends,
hearts met hearts and tearful eyes to
eyes replied. To-day that sympathy
centred over an Open grave in beauti-
ful Riverside, where husband, father,
mother, brother and dearest friends,
with breaking hearts committed the sa—
cred dust to the bosom of our common
mother earth. The great world in its
onward rush, will soon_ forget or little
heed this universal kinship Of grief.
But above the grassy mound the Wild
birds will sing. and flowers, bedewed
with mourners’ tears, Will open their
shining petals to kiss the sun. and the
memory of the dear one Will be cher-
ished forevermore by her stricken loved
ones, a solace and support, as sweet and
sacred as the smiles of her motherless
babes. With God’s restful peace upon
her sacred clay, let no mourner say a
hopeless “good-bye,” but in the bright-
er realms above joyouslv bid her “good
morning.”

The highest price ever attained by
silver in the United States was at. the
time of the passage of the Bland Silver
bill, February 28, 1878, when the price
was $1.22 per ounce. The silver dollar
was then worth ninety-three cents. At
no period since then has the Silver dol-
lar been worth as much.

Charles “Pinkey” Finch is in town,
showing some of his New York friends
what can be found along the Norwalk

says, his first visit to N orwalk in over
five months, during which period
he was homesick exactly six times.

been about town for a day or two act-
ing queerly. At noon he was taken to
a private asylum in Westport.

The Future of Silver.

The stoppage of the free coinage of
silver in India seals the doom of silver
as a standard of monetary value. Great
Britain rejected it in 1818, Germany in
1871, the United States in 1873, the
Latin Union in 1875, and Austria in
1892. Now that the mints of India are
no longer open to it, coins of silver be-
come everywhere, except in Mexico and
South America, mere tokens, deriving
their value from the flat of the govern-
ments which issue them, and from their
interconvertibility with gold. For
other uses, the metal will retain
only its commercial value {as bullion,
gke tin, copper, lead and 1ron.—N. Y.

Supreme Court Decisions.

A decision of importance to policy
dealers and owners of policy shops has
been handed down by the Supreme
Court‘. Harry I. Flint, of Bridgeport,
was convicted in the Common Pleas
Court of beino‘ a-policy dealer, and
fined $100 and costs. His counsel
claimed that the conviction was illegal.
He said that the gambling law did not
cover policy playing; that it was not
mentioned in the statute. It was taken
to the Supreme Court as a test case,
and it was decided against the policy
men.

The case of Ida Falkner against the

 

, Housatonic Railroad company was de-

cided in her favor.

In the case of Elizabeth M. Ander-
son vs. Andrew F. Higgins and wife,
the plea ’in abatement was overruled,
and the case will now have to be tried

on its merits. It is a Norwalk case.

Licensing.r Oyster-Boats.

The law requiring all boats engaged
in the taking of oysters to have a li_-
cense and make display of a corre-
sponding number. went into effect June
20. It may be of value to local oyster-
men to know that they can secure blank
applications for licenses from Christian
Swartz of South Norwalk.

The new laws, of which the licensing
provision is a feature, were passed with
the approval of the oystermen of the
state, both the cultivators of private
grounds and those who work on natur-
al beds. Between the two classes. there
has been considerable hostility in: the
past, but in the matter of the bills re-
ferred to they reached an agreement.
One object of theirs is to discourage
invasion of the natural beds in Connec-
ticut waters by boats not owned in the
state. Another was to facilitate the
fixing of the identity of any craft sus-
pected of encroachment upon private
grounds.

From July 20 to September 10 it will
be unlawful to take oysters from natur-
al beds.

Fresh Air Children.

One hundred fresh air children reach-
ed the Branchvflle (Ct.) Home on Sat-
urday evening of.last week. . -

This is the third summer that the
home has been-supported by Life, but
it owes its origin and ex1stence largely
to the generosity of Stamford friends,
who contributed . four years ago, $900
towards its establishment. During the
three years that the home has been
open, over 3,000 children from the gar-
rets and cellars of the slums of New
York have .enjoyed a delightful fort-
night’s outing among the beautiful
New New England hills.

Abundant as arethe sweet country
air and good nutritious food, there is a
scarcity of clothing, the demand for
which was never greater than at pres-

ent.

Flowing through the grounds is a
clear stream in which the children bathe
often while their only; suit is being
washed and dried. Not infrequently, a
single garment comprises some little
girl’s entire wardrobe. _We are very

Some idea of how they celebrate the

half a mile of horse railway track. He

A Serious Fail.

Friday afternoon, Laura, the four
year old daughter of Mrs. John L.
Hyatt, met with a serious accident at
her home on Chapel street. She was
playing on the back porch of the house
when she lost her balance and fell to
the ground a distance of ten feet. In
the descent her fall was somewhat
broken by a clothes-line, the same
causing her to land on the grass instead
of the concrete walk under the porch.
The unfortunate child sustained a
fracture to her arm and a broken collar-
bone. A physician was immediately
summoned and prescribed for the in-
juries. The little girl is doing as well
to-day as can be expected. .

Against Miss Peaslee.

Chief Justice Sedgwick, of the New
York Superior Court, yesterday gave
a decision respecting the construction
of a clause in the will of Dr. Edmund
R. Peaslee, who died in January, 1878.
By the terms of his will he gave to his
daughter, F. M. Peaslee, of Norwalk
$20,000 in trust, the same to revert at
her death, if without issue, equally to
his wife and son. Since the death of
Dr. Peaslee, his wife, Marth L. Peas-
lee, also died. The daughter claimed
that by the death of her mother, $10-
000 of the fund vested in her absolutely,
and Edward H. Peaslee, the son, had a
contingent interest in the remaining
$10,000 subject to being divested of it
by her marriage and having lawful is-
sue. Judge Sedgwick _holds that the
complaint must be dismissed, as he says
Miss Peaslee has no interest in the fund
beyond a life interest, and as this is
not assailed or threatened she has no
interest which enables her to bring this
action.

Physicians and Quacks.

The State Board of Health at its an-
nual meeting renewed the legislation
of the recent General Assembly. It
decided that the Assembly had done
little for sanitation and hygiene. Sec-
retary Lindsley was instructed to noti-
fy all the undertakers that bodies of
persons who die of. contagious diseases
must be wrapped in several folds of
cloth. saturated with bichloride of mer-
cury or carbolic acid, and must be bur-
ied in air-tight coffins. The bodies
may be buried any hour of the day or
night. The law goes into effect on
July 30 and the State Board Will strive
to enforce it.

The Board informs all practitioners
of medicine in Connecticut that they
must register before October 1. Each
practitioner must present himself be-
fore the Secretar and fill‘out a blank
specifying where e learned the profes-
sion Of medicine, from what school, if
any, he graduated and how long he has
practiced. Quacks that register before
October 1 will not be debarred from
practice, for, as Secretary Lindsley
said, “We have no authority in the
matter before October 1,_ beyond the
compulsion of registration. If the
quacks register there Will be no Obsta-
ale to their continuance of practice.

 

The State Board did not make the law

and is not empowered by the law t3

But t ose men, whether genuine phy-
sicians or‘ quacks, who fail to re ister

before October 1, will be compel ed to

An Open Air Meeting In Montreal Stoned
by Touglis.

MONTREAL, July 8.—There were a. num-

crowded out of the big tent, and these held
an open air overflow meeting nearby on the
Champ dc Mars. A crowd of toughs that
surrOunded the square flung some stones
at the speakers, and several Endeavorers
were struck about their heads and shoul-
ders with missiles.
