As to the Honorable Quincy. ‘
In the midst of the awful pause cre-
ated by Hon. Josiah Quincy, a rever-
ent world collects’its shattered ener-
gies. We are rather glad, upon the
whole, says the Washington Post, that
he has concluded to dam the torrent of
his eloquence for a while, because that
gives us further time in which to brace
ourselves. He knows much, of course.
He is loaded with explanation and dis
closure. When he at last goes off, the
very bills will faint beneath the shock.
It is but natural, therefore, that we
should hear with gratitude of this
breathing spell.
Meanwhile, however, we cannot dis-
guise the fact that the longer Mr.
Quincy waits the more he~ _will have to
explain. It strikes us that there is
a certain opulence of allegation in this
affair of the National Lithographing
Company—an opulence that Mr. Quin-
cy might be justified in describing
as ghastly. The testimony so far shows
that he was singularly interested in the
mushroom company which sprang up
in a single night, just in time to bid on
a valuable government contract; that
he introduced the company’s represen-
tative to the Commissioner of Patents
John S. Seymour, and that he brought
to bear upon the latter functionary the
full force of his engaging manners and
his persuasive melody. And when we
consider that at this time—while Mr.
Quincy was exhibiting all this activity
in the lobbies of the Patent Office—he
held the great office of assistant Secre-
tary of State, and enjoyed the reputa-
tion of having been chosen for that
high place because of the President’s
admiration of his character and his
moral and intellectual attainments—
when we consider all this, it is borne in
upon us that the situation calls for
something more than a more strain of
music, even from such a gifted throat
as that of the Honorable Josiah.
There is a deplorable feature of the
affair to which we must allude in pas-
sing. It pains us to learn that 9. states-
man like Mr. Quincy does not approve
the manner in which articles that appear
in the Post are previded with headlines.
His judgment in such a matter is of
value. He comes to us from Boston,
with the prestige of talent, activity,
scholarship, ancestry and sweetness,
he has been commended by a very il-
lustrious persOnage as “a remarkable
man, a most extraordinary man, in-
deedl” We set an exalted estimate on
his opinion in any matter of taste. We
should not stand on 90 cents if that
amount would secure for us his indorse-
ment in the way ofjournalism. When,
therefore, Mr. Quincy intimates to the
Senate committee, now engaged in in-
vestigating his Washington record ,that
he does n0t admire our style of head-
lines, we experience a pang of profes-
sional anguish which all the balm of
Gilead and most of the balsam at the
drug store will hardly heal. We have
fondly fancied that our headlines give
some hint as to the contents of the ar-
ticles to which they are affixed, and to
hear a man like Quincy insinuate that
they fall short in that respect is misery
indeed.
So far as the National Lithographing
company affair is concerned, however,
we make hold to suggest that the faults
in our headlines, such as they are, have
no more bearing on the case in ques-
tion than the alleged motives of the
party from whom the accusations orig-
inally emanated. We may fall at times
in condensing into a dozen lines the
full significance of two columns of in-
dictment, and here and there, strange
as it may seem,a human being who does
not revere Mr. Quincy may display his
impious head, but after all the real sig-
nificance of the thing consists in the
matter rather than the manner,and the
motive of the arraignment and the re-
sult will eventually be measured by that
standard. ' _
We shall, of course, labor to bring
our headlines up to the dizzy altitude
of Mr. Quincy’s cult, and hope that by
industry and application we may sue-
ceed. If Mr. Quincy will devote an
equal amount of enthusiasm to the task
of giving to his activity in the Patent
Office affair an appearance of disinter-
ested patriotism, we anticipate the hap-
piest results. i

Has a Double.

to board a train when a policeman
grabbed him and charged him With
stealing $4,000 from the safe of A. A.
Drew of that city. Mr. Jones was ex-
plaining that he wasn’t the thief when
Mr. Drew came up and identified him
as the man.
Notwithstanding his protests he was
locked up. Though several of his cus-
tomers tried to convince the police offi-
cial and Mr. Drew that Mr. Jones
had a double and the double was the
thief, Mr. Jones was not released until
Attorney Davenport, his step father, of
Bridgeport, went to Meriden.
After a great effort Mr. Davenport
convinced the authorities that his step
son was no bold, bad burglar and he
was released. Mr. Jones has brought
suit for $5,000 damages, it is said, for
false imprisonment.

A
Those Liquor Cases.
The following is taken from the Stam-
ford Advocato of Tuesday:
The trial of some of the liquondealers
against whom evidence for Sunday sel-.
Honnecker of Norwalk did not begin
to-day as was expected. Judge Downs
was unexpectedly called away to Bridge-
port and a postponement until to‘mor-
row was ordered. Mr. Kenealy, who is
counsel for the accused dealers,will not
say which case is to be tried first, for
the reason that he does not know what
Mr. Hounecker’s intention is in the mat-
ter. The alleged action of Mr. Hon-
necker in “settling” some of the cases
was discussed with some interest by lo-
osl lawyers to-dny. Many of then hesi-
tate to believe that any such course was
pursued and a statement from the Nor-
walk lawyer would it terest them.
Mr. Houneckcr brought a batch of
about a dozen complaints to Judge
Downs and applied for warrants. The
judge signed only three of them, stat-
ing that nothing would be gained by
summoning all of the accused into court
at the same time. He said warrants for
the others could be issued and served
as soon as the three were disposed of.
There was no special selection made, so
far as can be learned. The judge took
the first three that came to hand.
The story about the “settlement” at
$68 per case is not yet fully explained.
A man who is in a position to know in-
formed a reporter to-day that several
cases—he did not know how many—had
been fixed up at that rate. A lawyer
who was asked about how the amount
in question would be calculated con-
fessed that he did not know. The fee
of the prosecuting attorney is $10.
The fees and mileage of witnesses from
Norwalk, of whom there are supposed
to be two, would be $1.50 each.
The cases “settled” were not those in
which warrants had been issued. The
witnesses did not appear in court here.
Neither did the prosecuting agent.
When a case is nolled it is supposed to
be with the knowledge and approval of
the court. The City Court of Stamford
had, it is claimed, no cognizance of the
cases, for the reason that it had issued
no warrants.
One of the “spotters” will have to be
brought down from Bridgeport if he
appears to-morrow. He is serving _a
term in jail for breach of the peace in
Norwalk on the evening of the day he
was in Stamford, with a companion,
collecting evidence for,Mr. Honuecker.
Members of the Stamford Civic
League do not know what to make of
the matter. They did not know any-
thing about Mr. Honneckcr’s campaign
until after it was public talk. They as-
sert that if the aim of the prosecuting
agent is to enforce the law, the proper
course is to prosecute and not to “set-
tle” before warrants are issued. ,
LATER.—A8 this paper goes to press
we learn the cases will not be tried till
Saturday.

“What wm We Do?”
That is the question which the county
commissioners are asking themselves,
says the Bridgeport News. They are
placed in a peculiar and embarrassing
position by an act passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature. If they obey
this act they must disobey another.
They arqbetweentwo fires ‘It will be
remembered that the legislature of '03
passed an act whereby an appeal could
be taken from the county commission-
ers in the matter of granting licenses.
It is this law that has placed the
county commissioners in azquandary.
The law is all right when the appeal is
.taken by the saloon keeper, but it
makes it bad when the remonstrants
take an appeal. The commissioners
have now two cases in which the remon-
strants are the appellants. After hear-
ing a remonstrance against two Norwalk
saloon keepers, the commissioners de-
cided to grant them a license. They

Misery
Hood’s Sarsaparilla Proved Its
Merit.
In Bangor, Me, many people have been re-
storedto health by Hood’s Sarsaparilla, among
them Mrs. William H. Pitcher, wife of a well<
known‘ carpenter and stair builder, who writes:
" C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass:
“About eight years ago I began taking Hood’s
Sarsaparilla for headache, with which I had
been troubled from a child. There were days
that I would have such headaches that I would
have to lie in a dark room with my eyes covered
to I could not see a ray of light or hear a. sound,
as I would go almost wild. My nervous system
was badly run down. I decided to give Hood’s
Sarsaparllla a. trial, and found in a short time that
It Was Benefiting Me
and I continued regularly until I had taken ten
bottles. It cured me, and from that time until a
year ago I havebeen tree from headaches and ‘
’ ”3‘
HOOCl S‘tafl‘” ures
nervous spells. I was thrown from a carriage
last fall and hunted my head. It affected my
nerves so I commenced taking Hood’s Sarsapa-
rllla again. It has helped me and
I Am Myself Again.
My folks have taken Hood’s Sarsaparllla and
also realized much help from it. In fact more
from Hood’s than from any other medicine they
have taken.” Mas. WILLIAM H. Pn'cnna, 107

rilla, do not be induced to buy any other instead.

NOTICE.
Annual' Adjourned
City Meeting.
. Notice is hereby given that the annual ad.
ourned meeting OI the City of Norwalk Will
a hold at the l'own House. in said city. on
Monday, March 5th. 1894, at 7.30 o'clock in the
evening for the following purposes, to Wit:
1. To make such appropriations for each of
the departments of the city government as
may be deemed necessary and proper for the
next ensuing fiscal year. _
. 2. To lay a tax npouthe ratable estate With-
in said city contained in the assessment lists
last completed, to an amount sufficient to meet
‘and provide for said appropriations so to he
did so and the remonstrauts filed an ap-~ m d
peal to the superior court.
The law which gives them this right
says that should the court overrule the
decision of the commissioners in the
case where a license has been granted,
the money paid by the saloon keeper
must be refunded for the balance of
the term from which the license has
been granted. This is what is troub-
ling the commissioners. They do not
know what money to use to reimburse
these saloon keepers if their decision
is reversed. There is no appropriation
for that purpose.
They cannot hold the money paid by
the saloon keeper for the license till
the case is decided. They are prevent-
ed from doing this by a statute which
says that 95 per cent. of that money
must go to the town of Norw‘alk. The
first of every month the county com-
missioners send 95 per cent. of the
license money to the towns where the
licenses are issued. The law says that
they shall do this each month. Now,
if they obey that law, they must send
to Norwalk its share of the money in
these contested cases. ,
Once the money has been paid to
Norwalk, how are the commissioners
to get it back if the licenses are re-
voked by the superior court? The
result of the conflicting laws, in the
event of thelicense being revoked, is
to give Norwalk money which does not
belong to her and rob the county treas-
ury of money for this purpose. . Even
by doing that the commissioners will
be violating the law. No matter what
they do they will violate the law, and
they have decided to ask a superior
court judge which is the best law for
them to break.

Woman’s extravagance has been the
theme of many a male lecture; but
when compared with the extravagant
folly of men it is infinitely small. A
woman will keep her family looking dc-

and whisky, while the poker losses of
many a husband would keep the house-
hold in supplies.
A New York woman contracted with

A woman of very large proportions
should wear black or the darkest shade
of invisible green, blue or prune color,
cut of her clothes which allows long
lines of slow curves is that which will
make her seem less unwieldy than any
other. ' Yet, strange contradiction, few
things are more becoming to a large
woman than a white cambric or muslin
or an India silk; it acknowledges at
once that she is stout, but it gives her
stoutness an air of wholesomeness and
sweetness that overbalanccs any disad-
vantage of superfluous flesh.
Why is it that ladies are permitted to
propose in leap year? Here is the ans-
wer as given in a contemporary: “It
appears that in the year 1288 a statute
was published by the Scotch Parlia-
ment ordaining that during the reign
of ‘ Her Maist Blessit Majestic Marga-
ret ’ every maiden and lady of high and
low estate should have liberty to speak
to the man she liked. If he refused to
take her to be his wife she should have
the privilege of fining him £100 or less,
according to his cstate,unless he should
make it appear that he was betrothed
to, another woman, in which case he
would be free to refuse. After the
death of Margaret the women of Scot-
land became clamorous for their privi-
leges, and to appease them another act
of Parliament allowed them to propose
every fourth year.”

Last of the Colombian Stamps.
The last of the big Columbian' post-
age stamps have been dispatched from
the post-office department, and are now
being worked 'ofi' upon the public
through the local offices. N 0 estimate
can be made at the department of the
average date at which the Columbian
monstrosities will have been gotten rid
of, because it depends entirely upon the'
supply ordered by each local post-
master.
The holders of the contract were re-
luctant to yield to popular protest
against the Columbians because they
pay them more than twme the profit of
the regular style of stamps. The con-
tract price of the Columbians was 17'
cents a thousand, while of the others
it is only 7.47 cents a thousand. The
extra cost tothe government on the
2,000,000 Colombian “stamps has been
$190,600, and there would have been a
further cost of $95,300 if the company
had insisted on the execution of the
entire contract.
