The Prendergast Case.
In the case of the assassin of the May-
or of Chicago, a new trial has been de-
nied» and Prendergast has been sen-
tenced to suffer the extreme penalty of
the law on the 22nd of March. While
no one may rejoice in the fate that is
now certain to overtake the malefactor,
the result- will generally be regarded as
in the line of an impartial administra-
tion of justice.
Prendcrgast had all the advantages
which any man, charged with similar
ofi‘ense, could have, of eminent counsel
and an able defense. There were no
extenuating circumstances sought to be
shown other than those based upon a
possible want of mental balance and
moral responsibility, but nothing was
found upon the trial to indicate that
the prisoner had not a. full conception
of the nature. the enormity, and the
consequences of his crime.
No one should desire to have Pren-
dergast hung simply because he took
the life of the Mayor of the city,or sim-
ply because he was comparatively poor
and friendless, and his victim rich and
the object of universal sympathy. But
the fact that the murder was committed
is unquestioned; and it has never been
made to appear that the murderer did
not thoroughly realize at the time the
bloody-guiltiness of his act, or that he
was so demented as not to know that
he thereby incurred the full measure
of the law’s retribution.
Bismarck and the Press:
Fronf an inspired phamphlet entitled
“ Prince Bismarck and the Hamburger
Machrichten ” we learn that the Prince
regrets his hostile conduct toward the
newspapers and newspaper men during
the days of his power. According to
this inspired authority Bismarck has
learned to know the newspapers and
the men who make them, and therefore
learned that he made a serious mistake
by his constant and at times most arbi-
trary treatment of the press. It would
appear that the Prince’s retirement
from active political life has given him
abundant opportunity to study the
newspapers and their relations to the
public, and, despite the restrictions
with which journalism in Germany has
to contend, the papers have .a very
strong hold on the affection and confi-
dence of the people.
Like all converts, Bismarck grows
somewhat enthusiastic in his praise of
the press, and, we fear, he has allowed
his imagination to lead him to make
suggestions that are hardly practical.
The Prince, according to this inspired
document, thinks that the time has
come in Germany when it would be an
excellent thing to have the newsriapers
used more in the state service, and es-
pecially in the diplomatic branch, as
“is done with great success in the Uni.
ted States, France, taly and England.”
J not what he means by using the press
in the diplomatic service is rather diffi-
cult to understand. The only manner
in which the press of the United States
is used in the diplomatic service is
when the party organ is called upon to
apologize for diplomatic errors that
are made behind the closed doors of
the Department of State.
Doubtless there are times when even
the strong German government feels
the need of newspaper support.
Better Button it Up.
We are told by a doctor that the vest
or waistcoat worn by men in modern
times is a cause of suffering, disease
and death. He says that the waistcoat
ought to be made so as to button up to
the neck, in order that the chest may
be properly protected against the cold,
especially at this season of the year.
By wearing a three-button waistcoat,
leaving the bosom but lightly covered,
men render themselves the more liable
to pneumonia, pleurisy, bronchitis,
rheumatism and other diseases, which
are more prevalent and fatal in this
country in recent times than they used"
to be in the days of old. The English
of past generations wore high-buttoned
waistcoats or other protecting raimcnt
in front of the chest. In no country
guarded. The Catholic priests do not
wear a low waistcoat,,or show a white
shirt front, but are warmly and wisely
clad up to the throat. The eloquent
and venerable Baptist preacher of New
York, the Rev. Dr. Cone, now deceased,
who was an actor, a soldier, an editor
and an Officeholder, before he became
a clergyman, used to wear a velvet
waistcoatbuttoned up to the neck, and
it was very becoming to him.
Even in this cold month of February
you can see men in Broadway and
other streets every day displaying the
pleats of their shirts, and with but
light apparel between their ribs and
the frost. Such men ought to think of
the danger which they thus incur, of
catching pleurisy. pneumonia, bronchi-
tis, rheumatism or some other ailment.
We have no doubt that the excellent
medical practitioner, who, for sanitary
reasons, disapproves of the openbreast-
ed waistcoat could sustain his case by a
first-rate and most convincing argu-
ment.

When they are not at work they are
either sick or in the churchyard.
Constable Lockwood arrested Alva
Canfield, on Mondav, for non-support
of his family. As Mrs. Canfield was
sick and unable to appear, the case was
adjourned until next Saturday.
Constable Vollmer was in this city
this morning, trying to put a stop to
the salting of the surface railway tracks.
His mission was a commendable one.
The guilty man was “out of sight,” and
escaped arrest.
The Horse Railway company was
obliged to give up last night, owing to
the severe storm, and no cars were run
after six o’clock. The Tramway com-
pany ran their cars as usual until ten
o’clock and carried a large number of
passengers to and from South Norwalk.
The announcement is made that Tem-

The spring crop of sensational stories
from the Barnum-Bailey menagerie at
Bridgeport, is being plucked by the
ubiquitous reporters of that city. The
first onewas presented this morning in
the Union under the following” caption:
"Bruin held the office Lively times
With an escaped hear at the winler quar-
ters. Mr.Fish mistook it for Fred Pren-
tice when he returned from luncheon
and is held prisoner in a closet while it
of Europe do men expose their breasts
to the weather like the men of this
country, though, in our climate, thatl
smashes furniture—took half an hour to
capture it.” The Union reporter has
fairly won his season ticket for the
“Greatest on Earth.”
l
part of the body ought to be well
if; L
interesting Political Grist.
The knowing ones in politics have
begun to lay secret plans for next fall’s
campaign in this state and others have
started to chatter about it says the New
Haven Union. Candida‘ws have been,
others soon will be sug. acted for gover-
nor, lieutenant goveruor. the other
state offices and for congress. Within
a month the politicians will be in the
real beginning of the campaign of 1894.
Democrats who are posted are not
taking a deep interest in the outcome
of the state election. They look upon
this as a fateful year. But the Repub-
licans look at things differently. The
Hart-ford correspondent tells all about
it. Listen to what he says :
“ In state politics the Republicans
continue to experience unbounded con-
fidence of success for next fall, and, as
a result, there is no lack of material
for candidates. From present appear-
ances the Republican nomination for
Congress in this district will go either
to Gov. Bulkeley or ex-mayor Dwight.
The latter has a natural taste for poli-
tics, and the same is so true of the for-
mer that it doesn’t need restating. To
go on the wave and carry this import-
ant district would be equivalent to a
political resurrection for the ex~Gov.
In the New Haven district they are dis-
cussing in the Republican papers Vari-
ous Naugatuck valley manufacturers,
but when the fall comes, if they decide
to beat Mr. Pigott, they will be likely
to think of N. D. Sperry as the man to
do this difficult act with. The report
comes already from New Haven that
his friends have this idea in their heads.
Mr. Sperrv is in full physical and intel-
lectual vigor. and the most popular
man in New Haven count-y. In the 3d
eastern district Russell stands ready to
go back if the governorship isn’t thrust
upon him, and it isn’t likely to be, and,
as said last week, there are Brandegee
and Porter in reserve if needed. In
the 4th district, now DeForest’s, old
Mr. Miles of Salisbury may be run
again by the Republicans, but they are
more likely to take up E. J. Hill, of
Norwalk. Mr. Miles has run so often
that some of them think a change
would be good all around." _
The same correspondent is just as
communicative about the politics of
the capitol city as he is_about state
afl'airs, as the following bit of alleged
fact and comment demonstrates:
As April draws nearer the city elec-
tion grows of livelier interest, though
everything done so far is as behlnd a
curtain or over a beer mug and noth-
ing definite is before the public beyond
the fact that McGovern is an openly
acknowledged candidate, full of hope
and expectation, as he was two years
ago. The papers tell of Major Dwight
6r Mayor Root or Mayor Bulkeley as
likely to be chosen when the time comes
but that is considered in many quar-
ters as merely soft talk to keep the peo-
ple easy. The “workers" have no doubt
of McGovern’s nomination and the
branch of them who are nominally
democrats, have begun arranging their
project for aiding him. As whispered
on the street it certainly does not lack
audacity, for it is described as nothing
less than to put up a man who will with-
draw on the Sunday before election
and leave the democrats without a legal
ticket. The ballot law will prevent
printing one without a caucus, for
every ticket must have on it the
name of the party and when Mc-
Govern and Bulkelcy got up a
citizen’s party by themselves (in the
Philbrick case) the courts said the tick-
ets were invalid. So with no demo-
cratic ticket and with confusion all
around, the republican nominee even
if his party wanted to bolt.him, would
slide into office as easy as a circus clown
down a greased pole.”

Honnecker’s Cases.
It is understood that one or two of the
liquor-dealers against whom evidence
for Sunday sales was obtained by Nor-
walk “spotters” in the employ of Pros—
ecuting Agent Hounecker of Norwalk,
will‘ be tried in the City Court Tuesday.
Oflicers of the Stamford Civic League
request that the fact be made public
that the League has nothing to do with
these prosecutions.
If statements made upon reliable au-
thority are true, the methods employed
in obtaining the evidence upon which
these charges are based are not calcula~
ted to excite a favorable impression
upon the mind of anybody, no matter
how earnest might be his purpose.in
having the laws enforced. The “detec-
tives,” so called are amateurs, and one
of them was arrested for participation
in a drunken row soon after the pair
returned from Stamford. Whether they
undertook the job on speculation—that
is, whether their compensation was to
be conditional upon the conviction of
the accused—is something that will
doubtless come out in the evidence be-
fore the City Court.
A rumor was afloat Monday, which,
however, could not be verified, that
some of the accused “settled” at the
rate of $563 per settlement, while others
preferred to stand trial. If the above
is really true, it ought to be fully un-
derstood before the thing is over.
Attorney Kenealy, who is to appear
for those of the defendants who will be
tried in the City Court, went to Green-
wich to-day. Among those for whom
warrants were issued by Lawyer Hon-
necker are : John McDevit, John Devit,
M. M. Conroy, P. Boyle, J amesScan-
lon, John Ryle, J. E. Quinn, and Jos-
eph Moscof. There may be others, but
a reporter could not learn their names.

Not Bates’ Wife.
In the Superior court, at New York
Monday, Judge Freedman dismissed
the complaint of Annette F. McSrrath,
and decided that she should pay costs
in the suit which she preferred against
her common law husband, Charles F.
Bates, well known in 'this city, for
alimony and separation.
Judge Freedman said in his decision
that “the case presents a sharp conflict
of testimony which is difficult of solu-
tion.” In reviewing the evidence His
Honor says many unpleasant things
about the plaintiff, among others that
she failed to call witnesses in her be-
half, who, if she had told the truth
could have given material evidence to
help her. The Judge says also that
as regards the evidence in the case
Annette F. McGrath did not have any
evidence worth mentioning to prove
IOher assertion, while defendant’s coach—
man corroborated his testimony. The
Judge continues to declare in his de-
cision that it is evident Annette F. Mc-
Grath was a young woman of loose
morals and there was method in her
design all through her actions. In'
other words, she had _a view to alimony
and all that the Word, implies.

A Small Blizzard.
The storm which began Sunday night
and continued until about 9 o’clock
Monday night, was by _ all odds the
most severe this winter. There was a
heavy fall of snow accompanied by a
high' wind, which banked the snow in
some places to the depth of three feet.
Nearly one foot of snow fell on the
level. No damage was done by the
storm in town, aside from the partial
blocking up of streets.
The snow in the business part of the
city is being removed and dumped
from the bridge intothe creek. to-day.
A large number of men who were
idle on Monday are busily engaged to-
day in cleaning sidewalks, etc., and the
air is almost as balmy as a day in June.
Trains on the Consolidated road were
stalled in the yards at New Haven, and
travel on the road was considerably in-
terrupted by the drifting of snow on
the tracks. ‘
A Hartford dispatch says: “Not since
the memorable blizzard has this city
experienced such a storm as prevailed
to-day. The wind blew down signs of
the merchants, and the immense snow
drifts blocked street car travel.”
At Middletown the snow was eight
inches deep and the horse car lines
were forced to stop running.
The storm in New York city did con-
