Good For the Marm.
A school teacher in New York has
written a very indignant protest against
an order‘she' has received to either stop
wearing bangs or stop teaching school.
She declares that her head is so cen-
structed that without the bang it will
present anything but a tidy appearance.
It isher claim that she alone has the
' right to determine how she shall wear
her hair, and that it is a question that
does not come within the province of
her employers. Many teachers will,
no doubt, sympathize with her, and
hope that she will win the fight she has
so earnestly begun. '
_The Bland Bill.
Believers in fiat money are now on-
gaged in rejoicing over the passage
through the House of the Bland seig-
niorage bill. Every greenbacker 'in
the land is delighted, for does not the
bill provide that something shall be
coined out‘of nothing ? There are 3154,-
000,000 of Treasury notes outstanding,
and behind them is silver of sufficient
bulk to coin $209,000,000 silver dollars.
Mr. Bland proposes to have the gov-
ernment issue paper to the amount of
the $55,000,000 balance, which some
strangely-constructed people imagine
has a real existence. As a matter of
fact the whole mass of silver which is
held as security for the redemption of
the outstanding $154,000,000 in paper is
worth, at the present market price, less
than $154,000,000. The additional $55,-
000,000 which Mr. Bland wants to create
would therefore be without foundation;
would merely be promises to pay out
money which the government does not
possess. ‘
.1—
Philanthropy ln Rags.
He is only a Chicago newsboy and
his name is Joe Robertson, but he has
given a practical illustration of Christ-
ian character and set an, example to
many who look down upon his kind
with pitying contempt.
A few nights ago Joe chanced to
drop in" at the Windy City’s—”municipal
building to see “de bums,” ashe called ,
them. He found them. “They. were
there by scores and of all classes and
conditions of wretchedness. Cold had
driven them to the city’s lodging house
for shelter. Joe saw them there stretch-
ed out On the bare floor, afew lucky
ones having for coverlets newspapers
given them by the kindly disposed po-
licemen. -
Joe had under his arm a lot of his
unsold papers. He happened to spy a
poor fellow who had not been so for-
tunate as to get a paper to cover him-i
self with. He went to thinking. By
selling his papers he could add a few
dimes to the day’s scant earnings. But
he couldn’t keep his eyes from that fel-
low, and finally firew him a paper from
his stock. Immediately other demands
were made upon his charity, and al-
most before he knew it his whole sup-
ply was gone.
Then Joe went, too. He was so fo‘rc
ibly impressed with what he had seen
that he called a meeting of a number
of other newsboys, and by relating the
circumstances to them induced each to
contribute a certain number of papers
every night to furnish coverlets for
“de bums._” ‘ -
It is notTat all probable that Joe will
get a gold medal as a reward for his
philanthropy, But he deserves it just
the same.
Where Do Senators Stand ?
One of the most remarkable inci-
dents in the history of partisan legis-
lation is the effort of the Democratic
Senators to get together on the tariff
question. If the differences of opinion
among the members of the majority in
the Senate were confined to matters of
detail alone, the differences themselves,
or the fact that there are difi'erences,‘=v
would not be unusual. Buttheidifi'erg
ences of opinion relate to fuiidaifiental':
principles of tariff legislation; they
go to the very root of the Wilson bill,
That measure had certain distinctive
features, every one of which has been
antagonized, openly or covertly, by
l
9
x
I Democratic Senators. The Wilson bill
contemplated the reduction of duties
their total abolitionin. others. Demo;
‘ cratic Senators propose to restore du-
ties on raw-materials. An attempt was
made in the Wilson bill to withdraw
from various industries the protection
they have hitherto had. Democratic
Senators are actually asking protection
for the particular industries predomi-
nant in their communities.
Is this the lame and impotent conclu-
sion of all these years of Democratic
warfare upon the protective system?
Were all those fierce phrases designa-
ting protection as “robbery,” the Mc-
Kinley law as the “culminating atroci-
ty of class legislation,” and the whole
tariff system as one which “fostered
no industry so much as that of the
sherifi'”—were all these phrases mere
catchwords to entrap the unthinking;
ad captandum appeals to popular prej-
udice? Are Democrats all demagogues?
Have they nothing in common but de-
sire for office? Do they ever read their
own platforms, and do they believe in
any principles worth calling such? Is
it a fact that,.as Mr. Reed so frequently
asserts, the Democratic party in Con-
gress is chiefly distinguished by what
it has not done? Is it true, as Republi-
cans charge, that the Democratic ma-
jority is incapable, incompetent and
utterly wrong? _
Let honorable Senators reflect upon
these interrogatories, and ask them-
selves in the event of their inability to
answer them, where they stand in the
estimation of their constituents and of
the country; A candid reply, possibly,
would not be flattering. And such is
the admonition of the Washington
News, the only Democratic paper at
the Capital.

Mayor Keelcr presiding. The meeting
was called for the foilowmg purposes,
tO-Wll2 '
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 upon the ratable estate with-
in said city contained in the assessment lists
last completed, to an amount sufijcmnt to meet
and provide for said appropriations so to be
e.
3. To hear the reports of any of the officials
of said city which may be properly submitted
at that time, and , ._
4. To transact an other business. which
may be necessary an lawful at said meeting.
Notice is also given that the Council of said
city, did, at their meeting held February 19th,
1894. make and prepare the following estimate
of the amount of money, which, intneir judg-
ment, Will be necessary and requisite to meet
and prov1de for each of the departments of the
City government for the next ensuing fiscal
vear; - _
Finance department ..... 2 ................ $13,000
Administrative department .............. 5,
Sewer department, (exclusive of new
construction) ............................

Highway department ................. 5.000
Police department ....... . . . ----------- 4,400
Fire department, (exclumve of new cou-
struction) ................................ 2,000
Light department ........................ 6,750
_ The Council also recommends the remodel-
ing and reconstruction of the City Bmlding
occupied by the two fire companies on Main
street, so that the same will furnish accommo-
dations for the whole fire department. By
domg this. the city building on Water street
can be used for olice headquarters, a city
court room and a ock-up.
The Council has estimated thatto make the
necessar contemplated changes in the build-
ing on ain street. the cost W111.b6 about $3,-
000.wliicl1 should be added to estimated appro-
priation for fire department. _
Clerk Lockwood read the call.
On .motion it was voted that the ap-
propriations asked for bythe .diiferent,
committees be taken. up iirifine‘br-d‘er er
the call for the meeting. _
Councilman Boyer, chairman of the
finance committee,reported the amount
he thought would be necessary in his
department.
Mr. A. H. Camp stated that he under-
stood the floating indebtedness of the
borough to be 8100.000, and moved that
$12,500 be appropriated, this amount to
include 82,000 for the sinking fund.
A motion that the vote be taken by
ballot prevailed and Messrs. Gould
Hoyt, John H. Hoyt, and W. F. Acton
were appointed tellers.
Mr. Camp’s motion was carried by a
vote of 123 to 31. ,
The administrative department was
allowed $4,000 or $51,000 less than asked
for, after the question had been argued
by Messrs. Camp, Maples, and others,
the former thinking that 33,500 was
sufficient. ,
Councilman Wheeler, chairman of
the committee on lights, made a state-
ment in reference to the city lights
which led to considerable discussion.
The fact was elicited that the city’s con-
tract w1th the Electric Light Co. would
expire June 1st, 1894, and that at pres-
ent there were 82 lights which cost $75
each per year.
Attorney A. E. Austin asked as to re-
ductions made when'lights were not
burning. Mr. J. J. Hanlon was of the
opinion that the lights ought to be
furnished the city by measurement, the
same as the incandescent lights to indi-
viduals.
President Olmstead explained that
are lights could not be measured the
same as incandescent lights, and said
no charge was made for the incandes-
cent lights used in the Council room.
_Mr. Hurlbutt predicated that the es—
timate was made on the basis of the
old contract, and understood that a new
contract could be made on a cheaper
basis.
A. E. Austin asked if Tramway Co.
were not charged according to the
amount of power used, and if so, why
could not the city be furnished on the
same basis.
G. W. Cram stated that the city of
Boston had just closed a contract for
electric street lights for $35 each and
considered the charge of the local com-
pany of $75 per lamp as excessive.
J. . Hurlbutt expressed surprise
that are lights could not be measured,
and expressed his belief that they.
could, and ventured to say that the
price of archghts would be greatly re-
duced in difi‘er‘ent'parts of the state
as soon as .the presentcontracts ex-
pired. He incidentally remarked that
he had attempted to‘keep track of the
number of times the are light near
his remdence was not lighted, but gave
it up as a bad job.
Councilman Wheeler, resented some
of Mr. Hurlbutt’s remarks as being
personal, and said that he,‘Wheeler,
had been as faithful in his duty to
the city as ever had Mr. Hurlbutt.
George Honnecker told Mr. Wheeler
that he had been appointed to look out
for the lights and if he couldn’t do
it he had better resign. '
The sum of $6,000 was finally voted
the light department, or $750 less than
asked for” The vote, Was 155 for the
apprOpriation‘and 31 against.
The sewer department appropriation
was next taken up. Mr. A. H Camp
moved that the amount of $1,500 be
appropriated to that department, and.
said that he knew of a party who
would take the contract to keep the
sewers all right for $500. On being
pressed to give the party’s name he
said that it was his friend, Roger Mc-
Ginnis, ,
William Sheldon said that he would
tnke the contract for $1,200 a year and
give a satisfactory bond for the faithful
performance of his work. G. W. Cram
said that he could take the samecon-
tract and make a fine thing out of it.
After further remarks on the matter
by Attorney Walsh, E. J. Hill and
others and a statement by Councilman
Pinneo, chairman of the committee on
sewers, the sum of $1,200 was appro-
priated for that department by a vote
of 158 for to 4 against,
Councilman Chinery made a state-
mentof the needs of the fire depart-
ment and the full amount asked for
Wt s;;appropriated by a vote of 142 to 10.

“C. I. Hood 8; Co., Lowell, Mass.: .
“Gentlemen—For some years past my health

ance cf his work at that figure. Mr.
G. W. Cram here came to the defense
of the chairmen of the several commit-
tees and said that they ought not be
. used as puppets, and he believed they
were all acting in good faith.
After considerable discussion on the
part of Messrs. J. B. Hurlbutt, ex-
Burgess McMullen, John J. Walsh,
Charles Olmstead, James T. Hubbeli
and others the sum of $2,500 was given
the highway department by a vote of
86 to 62.
The matter of the appropriation of
$4,400 for the police department pro-
voked a lively discussion. Chairman
Osborn of the police committee was ab-
sent,but an itemized report of the needs
and expenses of the department was
read by the clerk.
Attorn y Honnecker thought that the
sum” of $6 ,500 was sufiicient; A.H.Camp
suggested $4,000. Mr. B. W. Maples
thought that the full amount asked for
ought to be appropriated,and remarked
that the only burst of common sense
the meeting had used was in the mat-
ter of the appropriation for the fire de-
partment. He paid his respects to the
lawyers present, andfisaid that he had
heard a great deal of lawyers law and
that they made law to suit themselves
and that such laws would not be recog—
nized by the legislature.
They, the lawyers, had made laws
. for borough meetings and new attempt
ed to do the same thing for city meet-
ings. He believed that every member
of the council meant to be fair in their
estimate of the necessary expenses of
the city government,but they had been
hatcheled by those present at the meet-
ing, and if such hatcheling was contin-
ued it would be hard work to find any-
one willing to serve a councilman. The
council was deserving of better treat-
ment. He moved that the sum of $4,-
400 be appropriated for the police de-
partment. He asked if the councilmen
were slaves or simply servants of the
city. ~
Attorney W'alsh spoke on the question ,
as did also Attorney Austin and. after
Mr. Joseph Matheis had remarked,-
“If these lawyers keep ‘on‘we will never
get through,” the sum of $4,400 was
granted the police department by a vote
of 99 to 42.
The total apprpopriations as read by
the clerk amounted tc $32, 600.
On motion of A. H. Camp a tax of 7
mills payable July 1st, 1894, was laid.
On motion of J. Belden Hurlbutt the
report of the-water commissioners, etc.
were ordered printed. -
. A motion to adjourn then prevailed.
It was altogether the liveliest meet-
ing ever held in the ancient old build-
ing known as the Town House. The
suggestions as to the improvements in
the fire department as presented by
Chief Prowitt, and to cost about $3,000,
was for the time being killed by the
vote to adjourn before the matter had
been discussed at all-

town it was learned t iat there was no woman
in Stratiord by the name of Alice E. Maynard.
Monday afternoon as a GAZETTE rep?
resentative was standing on Wall street
Mr. Seymour Taft, of Taft Bros. , ina
formed him that the young man was in
of this city. The GAZETTE man atonce'
communicated the facts to Chief Brad?
up Main street while the newspaper
man started for the GAZETTE office to
notify Chief Vollmer at South Norwalk
to look out for him in that city. As the
GAZETTE man ran up the stairs he saw
a ‘ portion of an ulster projecting
through the door leading out on the
back porch of the building. Thinking
that perhaps the ulster belonged to the
young man wanted the reporter walked
erbockcrs and a light ulster counting
over a. quantity of silver. On accost-
ing him the boy made a motion indi-
cating that he was deaf and dumb, at
the same time handing out a letter
signed by Miss Alice E. Maynard. As
soon as the signature to the letter was
seen it was known that the boy was the
one wanted and he was taken to police
headquarters and Chief Bradley sum-
moned. A search of his pockets re-
vealed a pocket-book containing $4.95
and a number of cards,
and papers. . N25. 5:.- ';.=:-z:¢t

were put to him, but when'cornercd he
would decline to say any more. ._ After
an hour’s hard work in a vain attempt
to find out something about him other
than that he wanted to go to his mother
in Fredericton, N. B., as Miss May-g
nard’s letter stated, he was taken to the
station house and locked up. , , ' '
This morning he was brought before
Justice Austin and remanded to lockup
until to-morrow morning. While at
police headquarters a GAZETTE repre-'
sentative again made an effort to find
out who was behind him, and-who it
was that had him collecting money.-
To every question he gave an evasive-
answer, and when finally requested to
Chief to Miss Maynard’s house,‘whi'ch
he insisted was in We'stport, althOth a
ed the information that nOi'o'ne by that
name was known'therc, he answered
No. . When told that he would be sent
to the Reform school, he appeared very
willing to ’go, so that he-might. learn-a
trade. ‘ .
After it was found that he would not
take the Chief to Miss Maynard‘s,“he-
was asked about relatives and finally
wrote that his uncle- lived in Hawl‘ey,
N.Y., and his name was "Charles Smith.
When asked if a telegram could be
sent to him he replied. that he would
not be found there—and he probably
Would-not, as there is no- such postofiic‘e
in New York state. ,Finding that it
was impossible to obtain a truthful
answer out of him, he was finally taken
to the lockup, and will be given a final
hearing to-morrow, when he will prob-
ably be sent to the Reform school. , ~
It waslearned that last.Septembcr
he was given twenty-five cents by C.-
Ford Seeley, in Hartford, and also
taken to. the Y. M. C. A. rooms and fed.
When questioned about this-by Mr.
Seeley on Monday, he remembered it,
but at police headquarters an evasive
was put tohim. - - .
