_ Iiieieiaeith militia: initial 1n unlit.
The‘Ghette has’the largest ctr-.-
culatlon or any paper In Norwalk.
and furnishes the lowest advertising

, . The Outlook.
Those who carefully read the daily
papers, and have noted the published
views of.1eading business men of the~
country as to the general outlbok, can
hardly fail to be convinced that the
recent monetary panic was, after all,
more imaginary than real, and that
the prospects are assuredly and greatly
brighter. -A_;majority of the leading
houses report their'trade for the month
just closed equal to, and in some cases,
.' greater than that of last year, which _is
acknOWIedged' by all parties to have”
been prosperous above the average.
It is worthy of note too, that those.
who testify to a business equal to or
' exceeding that of last year at this sea-
son, speak'so hopefully of ' the signs of.
the future. Theyexpéct the repeal of
the Sherman silver -purcha‘se act to
restore confidenCe in financial quarters. ’
They expect sixty-five millions of peo-
ple' to be "just as hungry and in as much
need of clothing as ever, and above all,
they have confidence in the indomitable
spirit of the American people to rise
superior to any depressing conditions
which may exist, to ignore the gloomy
predictions of the calamity -how1ers,
and by displaying confidence them-
selves, restore cenfidence everywhere,
' and again set the wheels of industry
moving as merrily as though. no panic
'had ever been dreamed of. '
Thepeepieariegsiuagsabeee hopeful
and courageous as ever, and" there are
more months to be fed and more backs
to be clothed than at any former period.
There is money enough to set all the
wheels of' industry in jinotion, and 'to
croWd every avenue of transportation
with the goods that Will be needed, all
premium on currency ’is at an end,
and, what is better, there exists-a moral
certainty that through the speedy ac-
tion of Congress every dollar of the
country’s money will be worth a hun-
dred cents. __ . .
Our crops will be enormous, and that
means a big-trade at heme and abroad.
The money wanted to move these tre-
mendous crops is now in hand and
readily available, and all that is want-
ed to move money and business, is
nerve and a restored confidence. The
calamity-bowlers, those pestilent ene'-"
mies of the country’s peace and pros-
perity, like the New York World and
Mail and Express,'have been foiled in
their predicted financial. crash, in a
political smash-up, in a cholera scare,
in their pet scheme to kill of the Presi-
dent, andWill surely, come to grief‘in
their seeming efforts to incite a hunger
panic and bread riots. '
The business pendulum must swing.
Activity always follows apathy. ‘ And
those who move first get at the head of
the procession. ' '
Stop cracking and go ahead- Now
is the time to start the fall trade. , Read
a”... sznrrn, and especially. note the
storekeepers’ announcements every day
and; the country will be safe.
The Path of Wisdom.
The Washington Post, with forceful
wisdom ,— asserts that if any vote in'Con-
’gress ever reflected publicopinion, it
was the vote in ”19.301159 on the ques-
tion of..repeal.' I-"1‘his'ibeing true, the .
Senate can only delay matters or "coin-' '
plicate them. The opinion of the
country is against free coinage and
against buying silver bullion any longer. - ‘
Is it not then the part of wisdom for
.those who say they are the friends. of
silver to do something practical to help
it? Why goon arguing for free coin-
age in this ecuntry alone when it is ob-
viously unattainable? Why stand» in.
the way of repeal when the majority of
the people, through'their represents;
tives, have said they want it? Why
not take the two steps that will ac-
complish, all anybody. wants? Stop
buying silver and buy gold. Strength-
en the national reserve. This Will
-' would "be ‘ ‘ korrect. ’3
bring about international bimetallism,
and not only restore confidence and
make business prosperous, but it'will
Senators may amuse themselves at the
country’s expense by elaborate argu-
do they gain-by it? The country is not
. in a mood to be trifled with, and the
- alleged friends of silver who make . de-
’ They are cre-
lay are its real enemies.
sting an impression that the tail is'try-
ing to wag the dog. Silver is not the
only interest in this country. On the
contrary, it is only one, and compared
with other interests it is a very small
one. If it becomes apparent that all
the other interests are to be ignored,
while those who claim to represent sil-
ver-"waste- time in maeless talk about
gold bugs and banks, public opinion
will vote silver a public nuisance.

A Local Sport's Opinion.
Amatch has been arranged for a main be-
tween birds owned by Pete Donohue. the
Grand street "financier,” and others owned
by Norwalk parties. The event comes off next
week—Bridgeport Umon.
A local sport who has occupied a
leading position in meetings of this
kind, says that he knows nothing of
any such meeting, and adds “That a
man who will fight chickens at this sea-
son of the year ought to be arrested.”
Painful Accident.
The accident to little Robby McPher-
son, son of the popular landlord of the
Norwalk hotel, is of a more serious na-
ture than atfirst supposed and has been
very incorrectly reported. He With
other boys, were at play on top of a
Danbury railroad freight car when he
slipped and fell to the ground. In try-
ing to save his face and head, he put
out and struck on his hands, and both
of the poor little fellow’s wrists were
thus broken. He had no ribs broken
as published, and is under the profes-
sional care of Dr. Tracey.

’ . Both Wives Were in Court. .
The court room in“ Greenwich was
crowded Wednesday when Thomas
Fenwick, arrested at the North Cos Cob
Methodist church on Sunday night on
a charge of bigamy, was called before-
Justice Hoyt. . ‘
Conspicuous among those present
were Mary FenWick. the lawful wife of
the prisoner, whom he had deserted in
New Haven several years ago; Ehz-
abeth Jarman, the second wife, and
three grown sons and two daughters,
who had come from New Haven. _
Fenwick married his first wife, Mary
Sidney, thirty-five years ago. _They
lived in North Cos Cob for nearlya
quarter of a century, and had eight
children. They went to New Haven
about twelve years ago. There Fen-
wick deserted his Wife and children in
1887. He had been traveling about the
country up to a year ago, when he re-
turned to North _Cos Cob, Joined the
church, became infatuated with Miss
’Jarman and married her in Bedford,
N. Y. , last July. . '
Fenwick pleaded not guilty to the
charge and then asked permission to
- say a few words. He said that after
leaving his wife in New Haven hedid
not apply for a_d1vorce, but, thinking
she would not interfere with him, he
married Miss J arman. He claimed to
be ignorant of the law, but said he left
himself to the mercy of God.
Miss J arman then took the stand and
said she was married to Fenwick on
July 26, believing him to he'free from
his first Wife. She begged wife No. l
and the children to forgive her for the
injury she had done. '

ay. '

Labor Union Trouble. ,
Trouble is brewing in the New Haven
labor unions. The socialist and anar-
chistic elements have been growing un-.
usually of late, aided by material 'en—f
couragement from New York headquar-
ters, and now whether the tail or the
{110% will do the wagging must be set-
e . .
The first time the new anarchistic-so-
cialistic combination showed its
strength was in the preparations for the ‘
Labor day parade Monday. It put for-
ward Candidates for all the official tick-
ets and. what is more, in only a few
cases failed to elect its candidates. The
result was that over 100 members of the
various unions were disgruntled and
refused to parade Labor day. They
are now active in organizing an active
opposition to the successful combination
and the question of supremacy in the
labor unions Will be settled by the two
factions shortly. -

has posted a forfeit with a sinilar
amount by J ohii Beck, the backer of
Lane, for a fight. The men Will fight
at 133 pounds, give or take two pounds.

rattling contest may be expected. Lane
has never been defeated. _

two Italian counterfeiters arrested in
New Haven Wednesday, the police have
good reason to believe _that the men
are members of an organized gang that

they are connected With the gang that
has been working other Connecticut
cities and an effort Will be made to
learn something of their antecedents.
