THE FAVORITE HOME PAPER. M
' - Independent in all tings: lieutralm iotllliz.
The Gazette has the largest cir-
culation of any paper'ln Norwalk.
~and furnishes the lowest advertising
rates.
Still a Local issue.
One of the things that has been clear- ‘
ly demonstrated by the recent hearings
before the Ways and Means Committee,
says the Washington Post. is that the
late Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock was
quite right when he declared that the
tariff was a local issue. Every witness
who appeared before the committee was ’
actuated bythe law of self-preservation
and partisan ties were thrown to One
side when they came to plead for legis-
lation calculated to assist their business
interests.
The owner of the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, a Democratic journal that
clamors for lower tarifi' duties, was on
hand to plead for the retention of the
duty on lead and lead Ore. Being in»
Iterested in lead mining and smelting,
‘ . .- During the Sessions of
Means Committee of the Fifty-first .,
as well as newspaper publishing, Mr.
Holden was of the Opinion that the
burdens of the people could be lessened
by attacking some other industries, and
he so informed the committee. The
esteemed contemporary of Mr. Holden
is the Cleveland Leader, a Republican
jOurnal that is quite vociferous for pro.
tection via the high tarifi' route. Like
Mr. Holden, the owners Of the Leader
don’t depend solely on the. newspaper
business for a living, but are interested
in the manufacture and development of,
brass. . ,-
the Ways and
Congress, the editor of the Cleveland
Leader had representatives present to
plead for certain free raw materials
which entered largely into the manu-
facture of brass. Here is a rather reg
markable case, and, taken in connection -
with the appearance of the Democratic-
governor Of West Virginia, who favors
protection for the industries Of his own

floeof the Remsen avenue Baptist church
in New Brunswick. The ostensible object
of the move was the founding of a church
‘of the Cumberland faith in New Bruns-
wick. Reliable information new shows
.that the main purpose of the move was to
place the Rev. Dr. Briggs, who has been
reduced from preaching in the regular
Presbyterian pulpit-s, in charge. It has
been understood for some time that some
Presbyterian church are leaning towards
Briggsism and it is evident from certain
articles in their denominational paper that
overtures have been made by ' the denomi-
nation to Prof. Briggs to come with all
his followers into the Cumberland Presby-
terian church. . ~
' Some of the young ministers of the Cum-
berland church who belong to the recently
organized Princeton presbytery of the Cum-
berland church are students in the Union
seminary of New York, in which institu—
tion Prof. Briggs has long taught. They
are in favor of receiving Dr. Briggs and it
church is made over to. the denomination
. .:this=winter, that the pulpit will be supplied
regularly by the Rev. Dr. Briggs.
Rev. Dr. Miller of the Princeton presby-
tery new has control of the Ramsen avenue
church property and the present tenants “
are leasing the building until the new edi-
fice is completed on Livingston avenue.‘
The lease extends until the first of Novem-
’ her. Dr. Miller expects to open services
in November or- December.
BECOMING A." MANIA.
Another Attempt to Wreck 3 Railway
FAvEm, 110., Sep. 23.—Another dia-
. helical attempt to wreck the 8:30 p. m.,
passenger train on the Missouri, Kansas &:
Texas railroad was made at what is known
as the Swearing Culvert just north of this
town.- A piece of iron rail whichhadprohl-
ably been used by farmers for breaking
corn stalks had been placed between two
ties. The train struck the Obstruction
with considerable force breaking the iron
rail short Off. Had the train been derailed
a. fearful loss of life would likely have ocf
curred as the coaches were alljfilled and the
banks are very steep and rough at that
place. This is the second attempt that
has been made within the past ten days to
wreck this same passenger train.
