Free Sugar and the Treasury.

The Democrats seem determined to
vindicate their accusers. It has always
been charged against them by Repub-
licans that they have not a coherent,
intelligible, and practical theory of rev-
enue reform ; that they simply de-
nounced the Republican scheme of
protection as a campaign cry, and that
once in power, they would either let
protection stand or make a hopeless
mess of the entire business.

The Democrats seem determined,
says the Washington Star, to justify
everything that has been urged against
their capacity for managing the affairs
of the nation. Having carried the last
election on the tariff issue and being

. now in power on the strength of their
noisy and persistent promise to amend
the evil condition of both the govern-
ment and the people, they seem to be

"hard at work upon a measure which, if

itbecomes a law, will at once bank-

rupt the Treasury and prostrate the
country’s industries, or, if it should be
defeated in the Senate, or vetoed by
the President, will leave matters worse
than they were when the Republican
party retired from office. The Wilson
bill, as it stands today, is neither a de-
parture from the_Republicnn idea of
protection nor a project of taxation for
purposes of revenue. It is a nonde-

, script, formless, aimless hodgepodge

of all the crazy,irreconcilable, and cou-
flicting conceits of all the cranks and
visionaries in the land. It protects ar-
ticles whose protection will benefit no-
body in particular and puts upon the
free list some of our most productive
sources of revenue. It creates a deficit
of about $60,000,000 in an income a]-
ready insufficient, and removes beyond
the reach of taxation the only items
with which that deficit could have been
economically and expeditiously sup-
plied. It is more suggestive of the
drivel at an imbecile than anything we
can think of at the moment.

Take the case of sugar, for example.
There is an article which was good for
at least $70,000,000 of revenue. t is
not an article which can be turned away
by taxation. It is one which comes and
must continue to come whether it be
taxed or not. Any duty levied on sugar
is collected at the custom-houses, at a
minimum of cost to the government
and practically without expense in hard-
ship to the consumers. Nobody believes
that free sugar necessarily means cheap
sugar. They had free sugar at San
Francisco from 1875 to 1890 and the in-
dividual had to pay at that pOrt the
New York price with freight added.
Free sugar means simply the destruc-
tion of all hope of competition through
a domestic supply, the perfection of a
monopoly by the importers and refin-
ers, and the loss of $70,000,000 of reve-
nue which the taxpayers will have to
make good in some other and far more
inconvenient way. With free sugar
once made part of our tariff policy, the
home industries in that article, in Lou-
isiana, Nebraska, California and else-
wherewillbepermanently‘extinguished.
Free sugar will be made to look like
cheap just long enough to achieve that
consummation, and then,with the game
in their own hands and forever free
from the restraint imposed by competi-
tion, the importers and refiners will
proceed to gather the sumptuous har-
vest prepared for them by mischievous
and foolish legislation. They would
be less—or more—than human, other-r
Wise.

Here is a measure, therefore, which
contemplates the extinction of an im-
portant and growing industry, the im-
poverishment of thousands of Ameri-
can citizens, and the elimination of
$70,000,000 of revenue from an already
perilously inadequate income. And all
it offers by way of recompense is the
solidification of a monopoly,thc enrich-
ment of a few middlemen, and the op-
portunity for demagogues to vex our
hearing with their parrot’s cry.

~Mr. Gray’s Statement.
To THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE,
DEAR SIR:

In the matter of the village of Ches-
ter, vs. Charles .T. and Francis Leon-
ard, my actions in which are criticized
in the Norwalk Hour, of this a. m.,
I would like to say, that I found by an
examination of the land records that
the real estate of Mr. C. T. Leonard,
was so heavily incumbered that in the
opinion of several real estate men con-
sulted by me it was not now worth the
mortgages, and his entire list of prop-
erty, as returned by him to the asses-
sors, was several thousand dollars less
than the incumbrances thereon.

. I offered Mr. Leonard every courtesy
in mypower and permitted him to keep
on dOing business as long as possible
until he was able to obtain a’ receipts-
man. The personal property attached,
it was thought, would bring about
$2,000.

The merits of the case will be passed
upon by the courts.

‘ Very truly yours,

 

J as. A. GRAY.

Prowitt and assistants Smith and Cs-
born visited Stamford Friday night, to
inspect the fire department of that city,
with a view to making changes in the
local department. Theywere met at
the station by Chief Engineer Bowan
and Mayor Leeds of that 'city and es-
corted to the engine house. An alarm
was sounded and it was only 24 seconds
before the horses were attached to the
engine and ready for action. .: The en-
tire system was investigated and the
visitors were very favorably impressed
with the workings of the same.
luncheon was served ‘ at Fox’s and the
visitors returned home shortly after 9
o’clock, well pleased with their recep-
tion. '

 

 

“Uncle Charley” Benedict Dead.

Mr. Charles Benedict died at the
Norwalk Hospital Friday night, aged
about 75 years, where he had been
taken for a surgical operation, and
from the effects of which he failed to
survive. The deceased was born in
Ridgefield, and came to Norwalk some
twenty-eight years ago, at which time
he entered the employ of the late D.
Sanford Sholes, who for a time conduc-
ted the hotel at Gregory’s Point, made
famous as the scene of the Fat Men’s
clam bakes. After the death of Mr.
Sholes, Mr. Benedict continued in the
employ of Mrs. Sholes at the Grove
House, and won fame on the merit of
the clam bakes which he personally
superintended. He was familiarly called
“Uncle Charley” and enjoyed the
friendship of all who ever made his ac-
quaintance, and was always spoken ”of
as an honest man. Mr. Seth Benedict
of' Branchville is his nephew. The
funeral will be held Monday morning
at 11 o’clock from the residence of Mrs.
Sanford Sholes in East Norwalk. The
remains will be taken to Ridgefield for
interment. '

Made a Break for Liberty.

This morning, Chief Dann' arrested
James Ellis on a warrant issued last
November. He escorted his prisoner
to the office of Justice Coolidge, and
temporarily left him there while he
went to the office of the prosecuting
attorney. During the absence of Chief
Dann, Ellis remarked on the weather,
and picking up his hat, said, “Judge, I
guess I’ll go,” and dodged out _of the
door only to be collared by the justice
as he reached the top of the stairs lead-
ing to the office. .

Ellis, however, broke the hold on his
collar, but in his haste went down the
stairs on his head instead of his feet,
landing in a heap at the foot of the
same, followed by the gold eye-glasses
of his pursuer.

He quickly regained his feet and
started up Main street ona run, close-
ly followed by the plucky justice.

Officer Northrop happened to be
coming down the street, and attempted
to grab Ellis, who dodged by him and

where he hid and was found in a hen-
nery. .
Officer Northrop succeeded in getting
him out of the “coop” and started
down the street with him, when his
prisoner made another dash to get
away. Northrop managed to retain his
grip on his man, and ex-officer Howard
coming along at the time, he called .on
him for assistance, not desiring to use
his club.

Ellis then gave the two men a rough
and tumble fight, but they succeeded
in. keeping him on his feet. Soon after
the chief arrived and gave him a
“love-tap,” after which he was compar-
atively docile and was landed in the
lockup.

Ellis was placed under $100 bonds.
No one at this writing having qualified
in that amount, the accused is still a
prisoner.

In Mr. Coolidge’s Office at the time of
Ellis’ escape was an ex-burgess, a sur-
veyor and an insurance expert, all of
whom were too astonished to come to
thc rescue of the judge.

How His Life Was Saved;

Mr. Brown Expected His End Was
Near, But Dr. Kennedy Res—
cued Him.

[From the New York City Catholic News]

No one would think to look at Rich-
ard B. Brown, a commission merchant,
of No. 306 Washington street, New
York City, that for six weeks he had
suffered in agony .in his bed and that
physicians had said it was impossible for
him to regain his health. He was worn
almost to a shadow of his former self,
and his friends despaired of having
him long with them.

But now he is back in his office vig-
orous and hearty. He regards Dr. Da-
vid Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy, of
Rondout, N. Y., as the savior of his
life. The story Mr. Brown tells is re-
markable and isa splendid tribute not
only to Dr. Kennedy’s efficiency as a
physician, but also to his fairness and
justness. J

“ For several years,” said Mr. Brown
to a reporter the other day, “I suffered
from inflammation and ulceration of
the bladder, a most stubborn disease
My family physician was unable to re-
lieve me. Then at the advice of friends
I consulted specialists, and they all
failed to do me any good. All this time
I was growing worse. My capacity for
work deserted me, and at last I was
compelled to take to my bed. ‘

“My mother-in-law had heard of Dr.
Kennedy and his preparation, Favorite
Remedy, and she asked me to give them
a trial. More to please her than any-
thing else I wrote to him stating my
case. I received a letter in reply ad-
vising me to use Favorite Remedy. I
had been confined to my bed for five
weeks and I admit that I didn’t think
there was much chance of getting out
of it. Well, _I tried Favorite Remedy.
There seemed to be a change that sur-
prised me. In a week I was able to
get out of bed and go around the house,
and by following his treatment Ire-
covcred completely. To-day I’m as
well as I ever was, and what’s better
yet, I feel that I am permanently cured.
I can work sixteen or eighteen hours a
day now and not be broken up a bit.
I regard Ur. Kennedy as a public bene-
factor and cannot say too much _in
praise of his preparation—Favorite
Remedy. Before I consulted Dr. Ken-
nedy I went to a specialishwho exam-
ined me and then said: ‘Give me $250
and I‘ll cure you.’ I immediately saw
that that doctor’s Object was to get all
he could out of me.

“Dr. Kennedy on the other hand. re-
fused to take a cent from me until I
was cured, with the exception that I
purchased Favorite Remedy of my
druggist. When I began to take Fa-
voite Remedy I weighed about 128
pounds. Now I can tip the scales at
151 pounds, and I made the gain in a
few months. I have an excellent appe-
tite, and I feel like a two-year-old. To
Dr. Kenedy’s Favorite Remedy is all
the credit due.”

When the reporter saw Mr. Brown
he was at his desk in his office and he
looked the picture of health. He was
active in his movements and had the
cheerful air of a man who is content
with all the world. He has recommend-
ed many of his friends to try Dr. Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy and in every
case it. has benefittcd and in some made
radical cures.

Favorite Remedy ranks, with the
medical profession, as the most perfect
of all blood and nerve medicines. 11;
will cure all diseases of the skin, liver
and kidneys. It restores the liver to a
healthy condition, and effectually cures
the worst cases of constipation. It is a
certain cure for all diseases and weak-
nesses peculiar to females, and affords
great protection from attacks that ori-
ginate in change of life. It cures scro-
fula, salt rheum, rheumatism, dyspep:
sia, all kidney, bladder and urinary
diseases, gravel, diabetes and Bright’s
disease. ‘

In this last disease it has made many
cures where all else has failed. Evi-
dences of its great curative power are
daily brought to the notice of physi-
cians, from private and hospital prac~
tice, where it has entirely supplanted
the old-time methods. It is also par-
ticularly effective in cases arising from
mental worry or overwork, nervous-
ness or loss of sleep.

Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Reme-
dy is for sale by dealers in medicines at
$1 a bottle, or six bottles for 335. Full
directions accompany each bottle, so
that one can readily understand just
how to take it for the different com-
plaints.

were interested in woman sufi'eraze.
When we answered in the negative, she
looked mildlysurprised and said: “:I
thought all women writers were.” This
is a mistake that people are falling into
constantly. They think that if a woman
has sufficient independence to earn her
living by her pen or in those fields usu-
ally claimed by men, that she is con-
sumed with a burning desire to vote.

Teach children to do little things
about the house. It trains them to be
useful, not awkward; in later and more
important affairs, it gives them occupa-
‘tion while they are small, and it really

end, although she always feels during
the-training period that it is much
easrer to do the thing herself than to
show another how. This last excuse
has done much to make selfish, idle,
'unhandy members of an older society,
and should be remembered, in its ef-
fects, by the mother while her little
ones are beginning to learn all things,
good and bad, on her knee. Occupa-
tion makes happiness, and occupation
cannot be acquired too young.

Sensible women have been earning
new claim to that adjective lately by
selecting hemstitched initial handker-
chiefs in preference to the one—time
fashionable flimsy cobweb. Apropos
of this, it might be remarked that it is
always in rather questionable taste to
tuck a handkerchief under the bodice,
even with the excuse of a pocketless
gown, and the daintiest and rarest lace-
trimmed handkerchief protruding from
the bosom of the waist is too suggestive
to be sanctioned by good taste. A
handkerchief of fair size, of fine but
firm linen, is truly usable, and will go
through the face-mopping of a shop-
ping expedition without being reduced
to the stringiuess of the tiny lawn
affairs.

We are going to speak to the men to-
day—those thoughtless ones who love
their wives dearly, but who make their
lives ten times harder than is necessary
by committing acts of carelessness that
mean just so much more work for the
tired brain and body of the woman
they promised to love and cherish.

The active, busy creature whose daily
existence is passed out of doors, does
not realize how many steps it takes to
get the house into that state of perfect

' order that greets his eyes whenever his

steps carry him into his home at close
of day. Perhaps, to him, the sigh that
Springs from patient lips seems affected
as the wife brushes up the mud tracks

up the clothes he has thrown at random
about the tidy apartment.

:He may think her over particular if
she requests him not to tilt back in his
chair or chides him about rubbing his
head against the fresh wall paper, and
yet he will be the first to complain that
their carpets look worn long before
they should, their furniture gives out
uncommonly soon and the wall paper
has a greasy look he doesn’t see in Mr.
So-and-so’s house across the way.

We believe all men mean to be kind,
but they err through carelessness. It
is the trifles, the worrying little things
that bring the lines of care to a wife’s
face long before they should be there.
When lavish with your means and hon-
estly sincere in your affection be a lit-
tle more careful about the trivialities.
Don’t fret the tidy wives with acts of
slovenly indulgence or forgetfulness.
Watch and see where you can help
them and if you are too blind to dis-
cover how that can be done. don’t hin-
der them.

MUSIC HALL.

Keller will appear at Music Hall to-
night, and will do his best on this, pro-
bably his last, visit before a five years’
tour of the world to demonstrate his
title to consideration as the greatest of
modern magicians and the only living
man who has ever been able to harness
together the mysticism of the East and
the strength and audacity of the West.
The novelties in his performance are to
be “Flyto,” “The Cassadaga Propa-
ganda,” “Oh,” “Karmos,” “Astarte,”
“Out of Sight,” and his Davenport
seance. In all of these he was remark-
ably successful in the metropolis and
he now invites particular attention to
them as the most accomplished produc-
tions of modern magic as well as to his
own inimitable feats of slight of hand,
in which he opens each entertainment.

OPERA HOUSE.

Alexander Leslie Austin, who is too
well known to need an introduction,
has a new and original monologue,
abounding in Mr. Austin’s characteriso
tic drolleries which he will present at
the Alpha Minstrels next Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings. He will also in-
troduce a new topical song of many
verses that is sure to please.

HorT’s OPERA HOUSE.

On Friday and Saturday evenings,
Feb. 2d and 3d, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver
Byron will appear at Hoyt’s new Opera
House. On Friday night and Saturday
matinee the great English drama “The
Heart of Africa,” will be presented for
the first time in South Norwalk. The
play is in five acts. the scenes of which
arelaid in southern Africa, with the
exception of the second act, when the
action of the play moves to Monte Car-
lo. On Saturday night Mr. and Mrs.
Oliver Byron will be seen in their
laughing comedy success, “The Plung-
er,” which is expected to create more
than ordinary interest, owing to its
strong plot, consistent fun, carload of
scenery and realistic and mechanical
effects. ’
