The Daily Gazette, established in 1890 The Weekly Gazette in 21800. the _Weekly Gazette circulates throughout Norwalk and the ad acent towns. With mail subscribers scattere throughout the world. It goes to .the homes of the most thrifty an intelligent people. those who have money to spend and tastes to gratify, and as an advertismg medium it has no local peer. The manufacturer. the merchant, the me- chanic and laborer, are .all daily and de- voted readers of the Daily Gagctte. En- terprising, attractive and honest, its readers . believe wit and peruse it thoroughly; and its Editorials and Advertisements get closer attention than do the columns of less re- spected papers.

TERMS OF ADVERTISING. The Lowest of any local paper on has circulation. and no cut rates Dally Gazette. Three years ago to-day, or on Satur- day December 20, 1890, while the old and solid WEEKLY NOBWALK GAZETTE was within ten days of its ninetyilrst anniversary, the DAILY GAZETTE was launched upon the troubled and uncer- tain [sea of Norwalk journalism. The venture had been urged by many prominent and enterprising citizens, for several years prior thereto, but the time had not seemed to have fully come prior to this, to warrant the necessarily heavy outlay in both labor and capital. Even then, supported by flattering as- surances of support on all sides, it was not without serious misgivings as to its success, that the enterprise was launched, a new candidate for the pub- lic favor and patronage. The most deterrent fact was that Norwalk was in no sense an “advertis~ ing town; ” its banks, merchants, profes- sional and business men, had not from custom, education or the modern en- terprising aptitude, learned the value of the daily paper as ameaus of spread- ing before the public a knowledge of the benefits each was able to confer. It is known to all the well informed, that in most western cities of even half Norwalk’s population, three and some- times four or more dailies, will find sustaining support, if not liberal profit, by reason of the general custom of every one who wants for patronage or has anything to sell, advertising the fact to the most liberal extent in their local papers. This has always been a solid and substantial reading communi- ty, else the old WEEKLY GAZETTE could not have survived during the first years of this century when the whole of Nor- walk was estimated to have had only about five hundred inhabitants. The town having come to an approximate of twenty thousand res1dents, it was believed that this commendable virtue of “reading” might help a daily news- paper to educate its business men up to modern standards in the way of adver- tising. To effect the widest and quick- est reading clientage, it was decided to sell copies of. the DAILr GAZETTE so low that every man,woman and child could —and naturally would, become its im- mediate and constant patrons. .The axiom is world-wide that ten persons will buy a paper that is only one cent, to one person who will pay two or more cents for their local journals. This fact settled the matter of selling the DAILY GAZETTE for One Cent per copy, al- though that, to its wholesale dealers, meant the barest cost of the unprinted paper at the mill. The result was, the DAILY GAZETTE at once ' bounded into , immediate favor and an unprecedented circulation. It, became, as it were, an instantaneous Adam at its birth. In five days it had jumped to a circulation it would have in all probability taken five years to have attained, had its sell- ing price been put at either two or three cents per copy. But this marvel- ous success had its embarrassments. The new press which had been provid- ed was found exasperatingly inadequate in its ability to get but on time our' large editions, for the impatient news- men and newsboys. While we shall not be able at present to so largely in- crease our mechanical facilities as we had hoped, we purpose nevertheless to continue as hitherto, to issue the fair- est, best natured, brightest, most inde- pendent, enterprising, honest and high- toned daily for the price, published in“ our state. To-morrow the paper will enter upon its fourth year with undi- minished vigor and renewed endeavors .to deserve and retain the favor of its hc sts of patrons. \ ‘ A live daily newspaper conscientioiis- ly conducted and entirely loyal to its constituency, is a most potent factor in the promotion of any town’s renown abroad and prosperity at home. Its local news and most of all, its advertis- ing columns faithfully and» forcefully photograph the tastes and characteris- tics of the community where it is is- sued. It makes plain the fact that the place which is its home, needs the po- tential advantages of such publicity as the newspaper alone can give, as surely as does the business man whowishes to thrive, in these pushing times. In this feature, as Well as a home educator, the daily paper’s influence for good cannot be exaggerated. ’ It is sure to reflect the energy and public spirit, the moral tone and the progressive attractiveness like the present, the community, like the business man, needs to advertise. the most. Even the modern “boom- ing” of a townfif not overdone, has to people seeking for new homes and new places for locating business and manufacturing establishments. It the DAILY GAZETTE has had any one aim above another, it has been its efforts to put as‘much push and energy in pre- senting the rare and exceptional oppor- tunities and attractions offered by our town and our whole town, as it does to promote its own pecuniary prosperity. This has been its one especial feature and its pride, and this no doubt has won for the paper from this communi- ty so liberal a share of its hearty appre- ciation and support. Such a line of effort- has a recompense in itself, but that recompense is doubly prized, when it finds a substantial public apprecia- tion, and particularly, as in this paper’s ‘ case, it is made manifest in the materi- al way of new friends, new subscribers and new advertisers. This cordial good feeling is what the DAILY GAZETTE has received in affluent and most gratifying measure, if it has not realized as ple- thoric an income for its outlay and la- bor as it could have wished. For the future, the DAILY GAZETTE promises the same earnest and honest loyalty to the town and to its patrons. Its columns, as hitherto, will be en- riched with all the local news worthy a place in a reputable family paper and the general news of the day brought by the electric wire from every quarter of the globe. The DAILY GAZETEE is here to gather and print the news and the public knows just where to look for it and that it costs but a penny. Grate- fully acknowledging favors and courte- sies innumerable, and renewing its pledge of, fealty to town and patrons, the DAILY~ GAZETTE proceeds on its way rejoicing. 4)»— TERSE TALES 0t; lHE TIMES.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. -—Tlia reading of the Hawaiian message in the senate chamber did not receive that close atten- tion which the importance of the subject deserved, but a collateral question as to the reading of some of the accompanying documents provoked a. discussion which lasted over two hours and which was not devoid of interesting incidents. The trouble was started by Mr. Chan~ dler (rep, N. II), who asked for the read- ing of the three series of instructions given to Mr. Willis. Before the clerk had made any material progress in the reading of the first of the series an adverse movement against the reading was developed on the democratic side of the chamber ou the ground that it was unfair to have special excerpts (or “garbled extracts”) as they were called, unless all the documents were read. Finally, however, objection was withdrawn and the instructions were read. A motion to priut‘fthe message and ac- companying documents and refer them to the committee Of foreign relations was made and laid over without action till to- day, when Mr. Hoar will have something to say on the subject. The session of the day was filled out with speeches by Mr. Hansbroug (rep, N. D.) and Mr. Dolph (rep, Ore.).. House of Represent arrives. The house proceedings were full of sen- sation and excitement. The pension ques- tion coming up in the urgency deficiency bill, Gen. Dan Sickles (dear, N. Y.) dc- fended the liberal pension policy of the last administration. He denied the ex— istence of wholesale dishonesty in the pen- sion bureau and that it was honeycombed with fraud. Deafening applause among the republicans and iii the galleries fol- lowed his dictum that “no ruler could possess or deserve the confidence of the American people who cast unmerited stain on the pension rolls of this nation.” At 3:50 the president’s Hawaiian mes- sage was laid before the house. The scene be- came wildly turbulent after the instructions to Minister Willis .and’the supplementary I telegrams had been read. Mr. Boutelle (rep, Me.) led the anti- administration forces and was a thorn in the side of the speaker, who was only able to restore order by threatening the house with the sergeant-at-arms and his mace. Attempts were made to introduce reso- lutions by both Mr. Boutelle and Mr Bourke Cockran relating to QHawaiiau matters. Finally on a roll call the repub- licans refused to vote, thereby breaking a quorum, and the house, on motion of Mr. Breckenridge, at 5 o’clock adjourned in much confusion till today, when the fight will be resumed.
