‘THE’ PHONE HOME PAPER.‘
Independent 11 all muss: initial 11 10111112.-
The Gazette has-the largest oir— '
ouiation of any paper in Norwalk.
and furnishes the lowest advertisinz
rates.
. 3 Check immigration.
The Boston Herald has taken pains to
analyze a ship load of immigrants
which recently arrived in that port by
the Cunard steamer Scythia, and finds
that of the 491 persons thus imported
314, including women and children,
were without occupations. They were
ostensibly destined for twenty different
states, butsfiit. is a significant circum-
stance that of the entire number .305
were destined for Massachusetts, where
there are nownot less than 100,000 per-
sons with nothing to do.
The Herald also ascertains that it is
the exception rather than the rule for
' an immigrant to be possessed of more
than enough money to subsist him for a
week. Others [come wholly, on their
own responsibility in the expectation of
finding immediate employment.
It follows as a matter of course that a
considerable contingent, is sooner or
later reduced to ' destitution and be-
comes a public charge. In this particu-
lar case.however, it happened that about
450 of the 491 were from England, Ire-
land, Scotland, Sweden and Finland,
and of a class better adapted by their
habits and associations to get along
successfully than the immigants from
various other countries that might be
named. .
It is nevertheless much to be regret-
ted that, in times like these, when hun-
dreds of thousands are out of work, the
wholesale immigration of aliens should
continue to go on. Now, if ever, there
should be limitations and restrictions
imposed to stay a tide that simply serves
to‘make a bad situation worse. If it
cannot be done by legislation, some-
thing might be effected. to discourage
“their coming, at least until such time as
there may be a demand for their labor,
or unless‘they have abundant means of
their own... The present sytem works
great hardship to the immigrant him-
self as well as an injustice to the unem-
ployed already here. Help laboring
men by stopping this fearful tide of im-
migration as well as bya protective tar-
ifi’.

The Men Who Won’t Work.
“Out of 1,200 unemployed who ap-
plied for work last Monday, 460 were
notified that work awaited them on the
drainage canal. Of these 330 responded,
and were yesterday set to work with
picks, shovels and Wheelbarrows. hen
night came only five remained to get
tickets for their pay. Evidently work
was not what 455 Lake Front idlers
wanted. ”-——Chicago Journal.
Thus it seems that outof 330 men who
were givenemployment only five were
able to stand the wear and tear of one
day’s honest work. All the rest threw
down their picks and shovels, and it is
to be presumed returned to their idling
places, while 160 others who had been
notified that employm eut awaited them,
were unable to muster up the necessary
courage to accept it.
The places thus left vacant can prob-
ably be filled by more willing hands,
but it is a significant circumstance
that 325 men who had applied for work
and got it, and who undoubtedly need
it, should deliberately throw up their
jobs on the first eight hours’ trial. ,
It suggests an inquiry that is some-
what diflicult to answer, as to what shall
be done with an element of the com-
munity so lacking in 'manhood and
pluck as to shirk from earning their
own livelihood when the opportunity is
afforded them to do so. Men who vol-
untarily choose to be idle cannot com-
plain of enforced idleness; they divest
themselves of all sympathy; they be:
come an incubus and a menace. ‘ .
It is thus, that'the ranks of pauperism
and vagrancy are recruited. It is one
of the worst evils of a period of indus-
trial depressicn that it saps the energy
and. morals of so many men and drives
them into the slums as criminals or out
upon the road as tramps. The problem
.gof providingfor the unemployedwho
are anxious to werk is weighty and dif-
ficult enough of itself. How to provide
for the unemployed who refuse to‘ work
when they have the chance is still more
intricate and difficult. Is there no so-
lution for this problem short of the
almshcuse or penitentiary ? . .
This is the conundrum seriously asked
by the Washington Post, and as here in.
Norwalk and in all our New England‘
towns, we are likely to have the “un-
employed ” problem forced upon us to
a painfuland growing degree, through' ;

The Union Printer says that an opin-
ion to the effect that printers are not
mechanics was given recently by a, St.
Louis lawyer. Compositors working
for a printing concern, having some dif-
ficulty about getting their pay, consult-
ed an attorney with the idea of having
a mechanics’ lien issued against _the
office. " They were greatly surprised
when the laWyer told them that they
were not mechanics within the meaning
of the law but were artists, and hence
they could not avail themselves of the
advantages of the law.—Winsted Herald.

A Late Decision Makes Deportation More
' Complicated rnan Ever.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13.—Matters relat-
ing to the Geary law are more complicated
here than ever. . Judges McKenna and
Morrow in the United States court render-
ed a decision in the case of Jim Lee and
three other Chinese for whose arrests war-
‘rants were asked. The court recited that
the United States district attorney had
conceded the right of judges to issue such
warrants on the complaint of citizens.
It was ordered that warrants be issued
as prayed, and that each Chinese be given
a separate trial. The last clause is regard-
ed by many as practically rendering the
law inoperative. Five Chinese brought
here from Los Angeles were to have been
deported today, but their attorneys, having
been denied writs of habeas corpus, took
an appeal from the order, thus securing a
stay of proceedings.
Emigration Exceeds Immigration.
NEW YORK, Sept. 13.7—At the steamship

that for the first time the emigration from
this port exceeds the immigration, was
verified. While the Cunard, White Star
and American lines, Whose steerage pas-
sengers are mainly English, Scotch and
Irish, reported a slight preponderance in
favor of immigration, those lines which
run direct to Europe report agreat increase
in emigration.

“When I lock up a man I can 'tell
whether or not he has. ever been in a
jail before, said J ailer Tibballs to a re-
porter. “There are lots of them who
come here and try to blufi‘ us,
.“They have served terms in other
jails and try to conceal the past from
us. They all say that they never were
in jail before unless they have been
here and know that we are onto them,
but they give themselves away every
time.
The first time they are locked up we
can tell whether or not they were ever
in jail before. A new man who was
never behind the b‘ars before will walk
into his cell- and leave the door open.
An old timer will from force of habit
turn around and close the door on him-
self. In most-‘ails a whole corridor of
cells are locke b a shaft and the pris-
oners are Ordere to close the doors af-
ter them that the keeper can lock them
all in without going to each cell. .
A new prisoner does not know this,
and it takes several da s before he will
close the door behind 1m without be-
ing shouted at. Half the prisoners
who tell us that they were never in j ail
before give themselves away by closing
the door after them.”

'l‘he Vigilant was built by the Her.
reshofi's. Her length over all is 124
feet, water line 86 feet 3 inches, beam
26 feet, draught 14 feet, displacement
about 140 tons. ‘ The boat is widest at
the deck, from where it sweeps down
easily about a foot above the water line,
where it turns more quickly showing a
very faint bilge. It runs almost in a
curves gently to the garboards ' from
heredown it drops in a straight line to
the keel. The boat on the ways gives
the impression of a craft with an easy
bilge, shoal body, small displacement
for dimensions. and a great depth of.
keel appearing below the hull. She has
her lead bolted on_ the outside in bulb
form. Through this keel the metal cen-
ter board is opped. The frames are
steel, but the plating from the sheer
stroke down is of Tobin bronze. The
rivets are of bronze. The bottom is
very smooth, and,of course,is free from
corrosion. There is a constant exfolia-
tion gomg on which keeps the surface
free from weeds and barnacles. It is al-
so very capable of a very high polish.
The rig is very handsome. The spars
appear about perfect. Her sails are far

The Buiidpzing'Lawyer.
The following editorial from the col-
umns of the Centralia,(Mo). Guard, says
something:
“Alawyer has the same rights over
any other citizen inside a court room
he. has outside; just as much ri ht,
neither more nor less than any ’0 her
citizen: The law authorizes a board of
bank directors_just ag it authorizes a
court ; both ex1st only because the peo-
ple have directed by statute that they
shall; the court has precisely the same
origin, sacredness as the board of bank
directors, neither more nor,1ess. And a
lawyer in a court has not a particle more
right or authority over an American
citizen than has any member of any
other company or society recognized
and authorized by law. The rights and
privileges of a lawyer,in a court or out,
must be exercised subject and subordi-
nate to the higher and supreme rights
of the citizen in the courts and out,and
everywhere should maintain his rights
and supremacy over the attorney or
any other form of the citizen’s servant
or agent. It is the plain duty of the
court to protect the witness from in-
sults, and an attorney who insults a
witness or his family on the stand
should at any and all times be held as
personally reponsibe as though he of-
fended or insulted on the streets or
highway, or other place of business or
abode. No reputable professional at-
torney at this day and age will attempt
or seek to insult a witness on the stand
and hide back of the insult with the ex-
cuse of ‘ profession.’ None but the
‘ bulldoziug’ lawyer will do this."

receivers on the affairs of the Lincoln
& Ostrom soap works. The capital
stock of the embarrassed firm is $50,000

The Connecticut Undertaker’s associ-
ation will meet in annual convention
to-day in Meriden. George B. Hawley
will read a carefully prepared paper
entitled “Common-sense Etiquette in

ty Agricultural society opened at Hyde

row and Thursday. This is the 41st

Mrs. Florence Hawley, whose case is
assigned for trial on the charge of
murdering Mrs. Munson st Shelton,
this term of the superior court will be
the last one tried. Judge G. W. Wheel-
er will be on the bench at the trial,
The attorneys are now busily engaged
in preparing evidence for the state and
the defense. Mrs. awley has in no wise
changed from her attitude of a year ago,
but it is thought she believes now that
her husband has been sentenced to state
prison that she will escape with a light-
er sentence.
Patrick Corrigan was not murdered,
says the Bridgeport Post. Medical Ex-
aminer Downs revealed the fact that
death was due to ulceration of'the kid-
neys, one of those organs having been
almost eaten away by an ulcer. "The
doctors say that it is a wonder Corrigan
lived as long as he did. That the se-
vere beating he received somewhat‘has-
tened his death is no doubt true but
on the other hand he would have een
around as good as ever if he had been
a well man. His death was a question
of time at any rate. . .
