The Mountain Labored.
The Court of Burgesses at their spec-
ial meeting last night, thought it best
to fine oflicers Martin, Northrop and
Howard fifteen days pay and restore
the two latter officers to duty, which
was done. ’
It will be no easy task for the tax-
payers of the Borough to understand
this verdict in view Of the published
facts, but they have the consolation of
knowing that time makes all thlngs
even, and that on January first the
new‘city officers will control the affairs
of the now disgraced Borough, when it
is to be hoped a police force will be
elected against whom no charge of neg-
lect of duty can be made.
Ourlcitizens will no doubt condemn
last night’s action of the Burgesses,
but too much should not be expected
of a body in which a member thereof
in open court brands a fellow public
servant as a “lying thief.”

Manchester ship Canal.
The announcement is made that the
Manchester-Liverpool Ship Canal will
shortly be flushed, preparatory to
throwing it open to regular traffic early
in December.
As a piece of engineering skill and
as a gigantic economic undertaking the
importance. of this new means of trans-
portation can hardly be overestimated.
It penetrates the most densely populat.
ed manufacturing districi in the world,
where, on every side, as far as the eye
can see, chimney towers and factories
meet the view. It is a district where
hundreds of millions worth of goods
are produced yearly, practically in one
great continuous manufacturing city,
extending. between Manchester and
Liverpool. By the construction of the
canal, the heart of this immensely im-
portant manufacturing district is made
a seaport. ,
The construction of this great work
has been a gigantic 'task, involving
years of time and a colossal expendi-
ture ‘of money. Its success and feasi.
bility have from time to time been
questioned, as the magnitude of the
undertaking became more apparent;
but the corporation which started, out
upon the undertaking has poured out
gold lavishly to accomplish its end, and
has succeeded.
The result is that manufacturing
England is on a better basis than ever
to compete with the other industrial
centres of the world.
The Elections.
The result of the elections on Tues-
day last was very satisfactory or ex-
tremely depressing according to one’s
political belief. A year ago Mr. Cleve-
land was elected by a majority that
seemed well nigh irreversible, and yet
Tuesday’s result shows that had apresi-
dential election fallen on that day Mr.
' Cleveland would have suffered a more
crushing defeat than befell either Mc-
Clellan or Greeley. The reasons for
this counter-revolution is not difficult
to find; “bossism” and “hard times.”
The Democratic bosses believing that
the successes of the Democratic party
at the polls on November last meant a
long lease of power and that the Re-
publicans had received a blow from
which it would take years to recover,
proceeded to “boss” things beyond all
precedent, and force nominations mani-
festly improper. The American people
are not yet saints, but thank Heaven
they do believe that judicial stations
should be filled by men of ascertained
probity. Maynard’s defeat is worth
much to the country at large as it
serves notice on the politicians that
they must keep their muddy hands off
of judicial appointments. Maynard
may not have been as bad as he was
painted by partizan zeal, but the peo-
ple believed that he was tainted, and
casting ofi' party shackles they defeat-
ed Mr. Maynard, and rebuked the men
responsible for his candidature by a
majority that will become historic.
The after rout of the Brooklyn ring
shows that rings can be overthrown
whenever the public conscience is
aroused. Tammany Hall and its meth-
ods have been subjected to some pretty
sharp criticisms but those who are Well
posted ‘say that the .Harpies'of Tam-
many Hall are angels of mercy in com;
parison with the Brooklyn looters. ' It
' was shrewd’Abe Lincoln whoonce said
in substance: “You can fool some of
the people part of the time, but you
can’t fool all the [people all the time.”
This piece of wisdom the. Brooklyn
leaders f’o‘i‘g'ot' ' to paste in their hats",-
9
andfgrowing reckless and defiant the
‘people‘ rebuked them in a most unmis-
takable manner. The only Demo-
cratic organization that succeeded in
camping any where near the battle-
field was Tammany Hall, which shows
not only that its marvellous organiza-
tion and discipline are no myths. but
that its leaders are not all fools. Tam-
many, having withstood this shock and
its leaders having been made wiser by
election happenings elsewhere, both in
and out of the state, will in all proba-
bility rule New York City for many
years, or until its leaders forget the
teaching of last Tuesday. The "hard
times” were also a factor in these un-
expected results, as men out of em-
ployment or on short time voted against
the Democratic candidates. Among
civilized people there exists a notion
that the government may be responsi-
bio for gbod times, but that it is cer-
tainly responsible for hard times. This
was shown in 1873 when Massachusetts.
which gave Grant over 70,000 majority
in 1872, only gave the governor 12,000,
and in 1874 the Democrats elected the
national House. The financial squall
in 1884 helped defeat Blaine. Mcst any
party can weather abuse, lies, and even
the unmasked villianies of its mem-
bers, but it can’t stand up against hard
times. The man with an empty pocket
and a hungry maw is “agin” the gov-
ernment every time, and unless our
Democratic friends do something to
restore employment to the idle work-
men their name will be Dennis at the
next election.
All About Shirts.
One would think from the powerful
language and the intensely philosophi-
cal and aesthetic disquisition anent
shirts, indulged in by our esteemed
contemporary, the Washington Post,
that the writer had graduated at the
great Norwalk Shirt Manufactory and
been under the special tuition of our
talented and expert shirt friend, Pro-
fessor Fred. Stearns. now chief of the
Bridgeport annex :—
“In the whole list of our esteemed
exchanges there is none, says the Post,
which we consult with more pleasure
and profit than The Clothier and Fur-
nisher, published impartially at Chica-
go and New York. It is a journal de-
voted to the interests of men’s apparel,
and we have observed with pride that
it discusses the questions arising with-
in its special jurisdiction with a zeal, a
power, and a literary opulence which
beggar eulogy. Of course, we expect-
ed much from a magazine issued simul-
taneously in the neighborhood of Mr.
Ward McAllister and in that of Mr.
Hobart Chatfield Taylor, to say noth-
ing of John Austin Stevens, jri, and
ex-President Higginbotham, but we are
bound to confess that, notwithstanding,
its force, felicity and eloquence have
surprised us.
The cause of our amazement and de-
light on this particular occasion, how-
ever,is the clothier and furnisher’s fear-
less attitude in the matter of the busi-
ness shirt. We, too, have watched the
rise, progress and efiiorescence of that
meritorious garment with feelings of
mingled solicitude and ecstacy, and
we in turn have nursed a noble anger
at the efforts that have been made to
mislead, injure and betray it. We have
seen it on our domestic J ohnnies, ad-
miring while we envied,and entertained
large radiant visions of the final tri-‘
umph and apotheosis. What our valued
contemporary says of it is gospel truth:
“Worn properly with the single-
breasted and double-breasted sack suit-
ings, or the cutaway suitings, which are
in dark dull finish materials in [keeping
with the conservatism of the times. The
coloringr on the shirt front—Tseen
through the lapels and at the wrists—
and the quelling smartness of the white
collar impart a relishable zest to the
somberness of the every day business-
like ensemble.”
“Worn properly,” mark you! it is a
thing of beauty and a joy forever. It
doesn’t show dirt, and the detached col-
lar enables Johnny to mingle splendor
with economy. Buthis it always worn
properly? Ah! is it? Hear what the
oracle has to say:
“A few of the ultra London swells,
possessed of more love of finery than of
sound judgement in the fashions, have
taken to wearing the business shirt with
the long tailed, double-breasted and
cutaway frocks of semi-formal attire.
This breach of good form; this attempt-
ed application of two separate, not to
say distincly different, phases in the
apparel code, is furthermore, stigma-
tized by the' wearing of the silk hat.”
Thank heaven i there is one sentinel
upon the watch-tower, one guardian to
proclaim the outrage and avert calamity:
“The blending of the most dis-
tinguished tilepiece isms-calendar of
men's belongin 3 With a positive_fea.
ture of' every- ay routine grab is a
perpetration’of one of the most flagrant
solecisms against the: recognized amenr.
ties ofmen’s dress.” f . .
We. think we may congratulate.,,the
generation, and we do congratulate .it.
The Clothier and Furnisher has evi-
dently, by its prompt and vigorous
aotionand by the intrepid nature ,of its.
attitude, arrested the wave of oarbn'rism:
Norwalk, Conn., Tuesday s‘l‘lvcning, November 14. lS‘J3.
To use its own remarkable language,
“the right-minded London gentry,”
have paused, reflected, and repeated,
and as a result, have “cried down the
diverting of thefibusiness shirt into an
utterly uncongenial channel, and the
freakish fad of the addlepated instiga-
tors will be but shortlived.” Let us
not in our joy over the reclamation of
the business shirt, however,forget what
we owe to the courage and address of
the champion who has reclaimed it—to
the fearless and unselfish devotion
which has drawn the line between the
business shirt and plug hat. and which
with flaming sword protects that line
from impious invasion. Let every
Johnny in the land rise up and hail the
Clothier and Furnisher in his sweetest
treble of applause. .

The Court of Burgesses Whitewash
the POHCG.
Testimony of 'Witnesses Changed
to Vindicate the Officers.
A Special meeting of the Court of
Burgesses Was held Monday evening to
to take action on the charges made
against the police for neglect of duty
on the morning Of Friday, Nov. 10th.
Several witnesses were summoned and
the officers were present to plead their
own cases. The lobby was crowded
with spectators, and they were at times
very demonstrative. The testimony
seemingly was very pleasing to them,
as were the answers of some of the
witnesses to Burgess McMullen’s fear-
less and leading questions. There was
a “large groan” from the crowd when .
the Court decided to go into executive
session. 1
j The meeting was called to order by
Warden Sloan, after which the clerk
read the following call:
To Charles L. Glover, Ebenezer Fillow, Wm.
McMullen. Alfred Chinery. Charles Squire and
James Sutherland, Burgesses of the City of
Norwalk; '
GENTLEMEN:—Y0u_ are hereby notified and
warned that there w1ll be a special meeting of
the court of BurgeSSes on Monday evening.
Nov._13th, 1893, at 8 o’clock. for the purpose of
conmdoring matters affecting the discipline
and conduct of the police.
Dated at Norwalk, Nov. 11th, 1893.
EDGAR N. SLOAN, Warden.
The Warden stated that on his re
turn home he was called upon and in-
formed that the police oflicers had re-
fused or neglected to do their duty in
making an arrest or arrests early Fri-
day morning. He found that the chief
had suspended officers Howard and
Northrop pending an investigation.
On Saturday the police committee had
examined several Witnesses and it was
decided to call a special meeting of the
burgesses for Monday evening to fur.
ther investigate and take action in the
matter. He hoped that if the charges
were proven the oflicers would be ex-
pelled and it” not that they would be re-
instated.
Officer Martin was also included in
the list. He was given an Opportunity
to explain his action on the morning in
question, which he did. Said he was
not called upon to arrest anyone. This
was also the substance of officers How-
ard and Northrop’s statements. The
two latter stating that they did not
know that Weston had at the time been
assaulted.
They were all three pretty closely
questioned by Burgess ‘McMullen and
Other members of the board.
Among the witnesses summoned were
Deegan, McNall, Williams, and Rey-
nolds, employees at the stables where
the assault occurred, and of which it
was alleged the officers took no cog-
nizance.
Deegan testified to having come to
the officers for protection as he feared
being assaulted by Hanlon or some
other members of the “ gang,” and
that he had been advised to go in the
station-house and out of their way, and
that he acted on such advice. He
stated that he did not ask the police to
arrest anyone, and that at the time he
did not know that Weston had been as-
saultedy Saw Williams come into the
barn followed by Hanlon and fearing
being punched himself hid in a carry-
all. Hanlon went into the Office, and
heard Weston or someone else scream,
and then he made his escape out of a
back door. Told officer Martin that he
wanted the men put out of the barn,
and he in turn sent Ofi’icers Howard and
Northrop to the scene. Was afraid of
being punched while on the street.
Reynolds’ testimony was very con-
flicting. He asserted that . he was
asleep in the room where the disturb-
ance occurred and although the noise
was heard a block from there, he knew
nothing of the-disturbance until after
it was 'all over, and even then did not
know that Weston was hurt. . He was
lying on the lounge alongside of Wes-
ton during the whole trouble. ~
Williams rehearsed the story of what
happened before the assault, substan-
tially as already published. Did not
see Hanlon assault Weston. Saw Dee-
gan run out of stable with Hanlon in
pursuit. The window was broken after
Hanlon left. Did not hear anyone ask
the officers to make an arrest.
MON all told quite a different story to
the one he told a GAZETTE representa-
tive on Friday. Said that he was asleep
in the office but heardDeegan when
he came in. Deegan pointed to cut on
his eye and said, “Look at that, Han-
lon did it, but I’ve got him locked up
in South Norwalk.” Some time after
saw Hanlon come into the office and
jump up on the couch where Weston
was lying. I was as quiet as a lamb
for fear that I would get a piece of the
some stuff from Hanlon. After Han-
lon went out told China he had better
go after'an officer. As he did not go
went myself. 'Met Officers Northrop
and Howard and told them that a gang
was raising h—l over at the stables.
They accompanied me back but said,
‘Guess there is no one there now.’ .
cer Northrop answered telephone call.
Hanlon and Williams were present.
Didn’t ask cfiicers to make arrest, nor
did I hear Weston ask to have any one
arrested. He may have done so, but I
was very much excited and can’t say
positively. When asked asto the con-
dition of his “callers” he said that
while they might not have been drunk
“they had a pretty good feel or skate
on” and were domg some pretty loud
talking. .
Warden Sloan said that in company
with the police committee he visited
young Weston on Saturday. He was
confined to the house. Weston then
told the committeehe layasleep in the
office wrapped upfm some robes,.and
ngasrawakened early Friday morning by
someone jumping upon him,and calling
him a‘ vile name said, “Now I’ve got
you.” Said, “For God sake Danny
what are. you doing.” Williams then
second time. I made a complaint and
wanted Hanlon arrested. Officers said
it was all right. Came down and swore
out complaint in the morning.
The Warden in behalf of the commit-
tee stated that they had again visited
Weston on Monday, when he denied
having made a complaint to the officers
at the time of the assault. Said that
the next morning he had made the com-
plaint at the suggestion of supt. Scott.
Was sure that the police knew he had
been assaulted.
_ Burgess McMullen said that he be-
lieved Officer Martin equally guilty
with the rest, and addressing the mem-
bers of. the board asked: “What are
you afraid of are you looking for re-
election ? You won’t have a chance for
another year.”
Burgess Glover said that thev were
not trying Martin but the other two of-
ficers, and that there were no charges
against Martin. The call for the meet-
ing was read by the clerk and it was
found to include the entire force.
On motion of Burgess Squire the
court went into executive session.
'A ballot was taken as to the guilt of
Officer Martin and he was found guilty
by a vote of 4 to 2.
In Officer’s Northrop’s case the vote
stood 5 to 1,and he too was found guilty.
Astwas also Officer Howard by the same
v0 e. .
There was some argument as to the
extent of the punishment and it was fi-
nally decided to fine each of the ofli—
fifteen days pay.

Probably to Use His Own Discretion
as to “Then to Restore the Queen.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14,—There is signs
of suppressed excitement and activity visi~
ble in the state andnavy departments.
Of course it is all connected at once with
the arrival at San Francisco of the steamer
China from Honolulu yesterday.
Following the press advices came a tele-
gram from Commodore Skerrett, who at-
rived on the steamer. It was the usual
formal communication sent in such cases
announcing his arrival and subjecting
himself to the orders of the navy depart-
ment.
Theoe were letters of importance to the
commodore from the department awaiting
his arrival at San Francisco.
To Use His Own Discretion.
It is believed that Minister Willis was
permitted to use his own discretion in fix-
ing the time when he should proceed to
enforce the new policy of the administrar
tion towards the provisional government.
Evidently he had made no definite move
in that direction up to the morning of the
sailing of the China, on the 7th inst.
He had then been three days upon the
ground, probably a. sufficient time to ena-
ble him to arrange his plans, and, it was
supposed that his communication to the,
secretary of state, if such wasthe commu-
nication, was a statement to the§depart-
merit of his intentions in the execution of
his instructions. ‘
Serious Trouble Predicted.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14. —Sevcral pas-
sengers of the China, who were inter
viewed, said that the queen could not be.
restored to the throne Without serious
troublegand that now that the provisional
government was well established and had
well drilled troops, the change could not
be made without bloodshed. .
Secretary Gresham’s communication
will prove a bombshell in Hawaiian new:-
papers which support the provisional-govt
ernment. .
They assert that prior to the vote on the
q'iesfiion of annexation or restoration of
the queen the United States would have
to use force. '
No Necessity for Force.
In reply to this the bulletin, says there
is no particular necessity, however, for any
dictation or force bill business about it.
The United States will doubtless in the
most suave language of diplomacy suggest
that the provisional government take the
means in question to ascertain if it is duly
authorized by the people of these islands
to transfer their title.
Something Might Drop.
Should the provisional government be
silly enough not take the gentle hint there
would, therefore, be something heard
drop which would be the last sound ever
- to enter the ears of the provisional govern-
ment as the provisional government or any
other kind of a government.
At the Hawaiian consulate in this city
Consul Wilder said that he had no Official
communications by the China’s mail.
“Suppose,” he was asked, “Minister
Villis should request, on the' part of the
United States, that the provisional govern-
ment step down and out, what would be
9:77 ‘
\‘Vill Refuse to Step Out.
"The answer would be that the request
could not be granted. _ The provisional
government would decline to entertain any
such proposition.”
“But if Mr. Willis should threaten the
employment of force, what then?”
“In that case, the Hawaiian government
could have but one course to pursue. it
would reply that resistance to the militai'y
or naval power of the United States would
be useless. But it would protect With all
its moral force against such high handed
outrage.” .
Continuing he said that if after restoring
the queen to the throne the United States
government ,would then step aside, the
monarchy would not last a day and that
bloodshed would follow.

Obituary.
MRS. O. H. PLATT.
Mrs. Q. H. Platt,.wife of Connnecti
cut’s senior senator. died at the Arling-
tgnnlliote], Washington, Monday after-
Mrs. Platt was born in Towanda '
Bradford County, Pa., 63 years ago:
She was married there to Senator Platt,
who was in the oflice of the Hon. Ulys-
sess Mercer, now chief justice of the su-
reme court of Pennsylvania. Mr. and
rs. Platt moved to Meriden in 1852
and have made that city their home
ever since.
Mrs. Platt was a lineal decendant of
ginia. Her - mother’s sister married
Judge Lewis of Philadelphia. ~ None
of her nearest relatives are living, and
but one of her two children,Judge James
P. Platt, of Meriden.
Mrs. Platt hadbeen in failing health
for a long time‘past but went to Wash-
ington with the Senator from their Meri-
den home, at the opening of the extra
session of Congress, hoping to pass a
comfortable winter as an invalid in that
genial winter climate. Not long after
her arrival, however, she suffered a se-
vere stroke of paralysis, from which
she steadily failed until death ensued.
On Saturday her symptons became so
alarming, her son was telegraphed for.
His wife had been for some time at the
bedside of the stricken mother, and
although ,Mrs. Platt’s physician did
not expect . her to survive Saturday
night, she was living, although uncon-
scious, when her son reached Washing-
ton Sunday morning.
_ Mrs. Platt was a most estimable chris-
tian woman and a model wife and
mother. Her friends and the friends
of the stricken family, and their names
are legion, will sincerely mourn the de-
parture of a dear one whose life was.
full of kindly ministrations, endearing
traits and noble virtues.
