Government Without Law.
It is difficult to form an opinion at
this distance on the merits of the civil
war in Colorado. Governor Waite is
so irresponsible a crank, says the Phila-
delphia Times, that the presumption is
against him, especially when be over-
rules what appears to be a regular judi-
cial order. On the other hand, he cer-
tainly represents the authority of the
State and the men who are arrayed in
armed resistance to him are described
in all the accounts as rowdies and gam-
blers and representatives of the disor-
derly classes, in alliance with the fire-
men and police.
The truth probably is that the Gov-
- other is right in what he wants to do
and wrong in his way of doing it. If
he has the lawful authority to remove
the Police Commissioners, the injunc-
tion of a local court cannot be decisive
against his use of this authority. But
it should be decisive until regularly
overruled, and no‘ rational man, in. a
modern community,wou1d have thought
-_ of'carrying- out his own will by force
101 arms, however lawless the attitude
. of. those opposed to him.
Waite is made of the same kind of
stuff as Tillman, of South Carolina,
and both are examples of that most
dangerous class, the reformers impa.
tient of the restraints of law.
these fellows mean well, but a Gover-
nor who undertakes to get along with-
out due process of law is no better than
the unofficial dynamiter. That way lies
anarchy, and anarchy seems to be what
Waite has succeeded in bringing about
for the time being at Denver. Of
course the matter will straighten itself
out, but the people of Colorado ought
not to miss 'the lesson.
Vox Ponuli.
Thatlhe public voice and verdict is
one of the. unanimous approval of the
action of our board of School Visitors
in refusing to approve the selection of
Mr. B. W. Maples as an evening school
teacher, goes without saying. Had
there existed before, a doubt of the
'judicious wisdom of their action. his
Shylock demand for $500 of the tax-
payers’ money for his seven days legal-
ly unauthorized service, has more than
dissipated any such doubt now. Their
action was courageous to a degree and
and; evinced a high and appreciative
sense of uthe obligations they owed to
the people entrusting them with their
important responsibilities. No one is
desirous of becoming a target for news-
paper abuse. Especially do men shrink
. from becoming the subjects of such as.
saults frOm one notorious from one end
of Connecticut to the other, for his sor-
did and malignant attacks upon those
‘ who in any way oppose his avarice or
bull-dozing schemes. “Rule or ruin,”
seems the controlling characteristic of
the would~bc teacher’s career. No
truer utterance was ever made than
that hurled in his teeth by the late Ex-
Governor Minor at a state convention,
when he said, “ He never attached him-
self to a party or a'cause but that he
might the more easily injure or destroy
it.” Our board of School Visitors well
knew what to expect from incurring
his enmity, as have numerous others in
' this community and elsewhere. With
or without affront, he is known to be
as reckless in his assaults as a madman,
and the courage that dares defy him,
shown by the School Visitors, rises to
the plane of moral heroism and the
citizens of Norwalk have none but
_. ,. words of praise fortheir action.
” i . .hooufe supposeis that Selectman Das-
'. kam had any other object in vicw,when
helplemomentOf weakness yielded to
Mr. Maples’ imporlunities for appoint-
ment as a teacher, than to maintain
friendly relations with one whom he
knew to be a vicious and uncomforta-
ble character. He knew that he could
Both of
not legally appoint him, but that his
consent required to be supplemented
by the approval of the School Visitbrs
to consummate his selection. Up to
this point Mr. Daskam acted only as
too many other of our local officials do
r’
' and have so often done, when dealing
with the same uncomfortable individu~
a], and few were disposed to censure
Mr. Daskam for it. But what explana-
tion or excuse is or can be given in 1118-
tification of Mr. Daskam’s “pernicious
activity” in securing to Mr. Maples the
payment of five hundred dollars of the
town’s money, for, at the very best, an
indefensibly cxhorbitant demand for
seven days service, and that service, as
both knew, never legally rendered?
More and worse than that,—-whit can
be said in defense of such a payment
in defiance of an express vote of the
town forbidding it? Should any one
of the cashiers of the five National
Banks in this town have paid such a
bill, or any bill, after the Directors
had passed a vote forbidding it, such
cashier would have been instantly dis-
missed in disgrace and his bondsmen
called on to refund the money to the
bank. These criticisms of our Select-
men arc severe only because they are
true. They are not pleasant truths for
the GAZETTE to publish, even though
they voice the universal sentiment of
the people of the town. They are ut-
tered in no spirit of unkindness or idle
cavil. A most serious and dangerous
precedent has been created by our Se-
lectmen, and the tax payers of Norwalk
imperatively demand that a halt shall
be called. In contrast with the incon-
siderate action of the Selectmen in this
every-way rcgretable case, the courage-
ous conduct of the Board of School
Visitors stands out in conspicuous and
respect-commanding distinctness and
prominence. Even the Selectmen must,
down deep in their own hearts and con-
sciences, join with the GAZETTE, and
the whole populace of Norwalk, in sin-
cere regret at their own false stop and
in hearty approval of the bravery of
the School Visitors’ action, in their re-
jection of Mr. Maples as one mentally
and morally “ not qualified to teach.”

Charles Gehebe as a Detective.
For some weeks post Richard Cutbill
has been missing clams and oysters from
his oyster house at South N orwalk. A
faithful watch of the place failed in the
detection of the thieves.
Early this morning Charles Gehebe,
the keeper of the lockup,noticed Harry
Brown and James Smith with a quanti-
ty of clams in their possession. Know-
ing that neither of them were apt to
devote any time in digging clams Gc-
hebc became suspicious that the clams
were stolen property, and kept a close
watch on the men.
In the meantime Constable Lockwood
had heard Of Cutbill’s loss and was in-
formed Of Gehebe’s suspicions. He
went to South Norwalk and was accom-
panicd back by Mr. Cutbill who recog-
nized the clams which had been dis-
posed of at a certain store in town as
his prOpei-ty.
Constable Lockwood then secured
warrants for the arrest of both Brown
and Smith. He first placed Brown un-
der arrest at his home on Smith street,
and later secured Smith and a basket
of clams on Wall street, and he was
also looked up at the station~house. .
A hearing in the case will be had this
afternoon before Justice Austin.
These are probably the parties who
broke into S. B. Wilson’s boat-house
on Smith street, Tuesday night and
stole a wrench, atomizer and brass
from the steam launch Minnctta.
Considerable credit is_ due Mr. Ge-
hebe for his part in causmg the arrest
of the guilty parties. _
Both of the prisoners have done time
in jail, and are no doubt deserving of
time in state’s prison.

. It is said that a red parasol destroys
in a great measure the actinic power of
the sun, and must therefore keep the
skin from freckles. Photographers
long ago availed themselves of this pe-

suppose that a red shade might protect
the complexion. '
One of the new colors is a tawny or-
ange with a dash of red in if, and goes
by the name of “Chrysanthemum.”

co and snuff colored shades, and the

a triple row of jet sequins. Over this
is a bodice and a draped skirt, cut all
in one, of the palest, tenderest shade
of tulip leaf green.
Nourish kindly feelings; look on the
bright side of things and the best side
of people: think happy thought; smile
whenever you can; speak gently; find
pleasant things to say, for they make
the music of the world. These things
are not written among the recipes for
improving the complexion, but they
Will help to make the face fair.
There is a fever worse even than
spring fever which gets into the veins
of women these days. It is the shop-
ping fever and runs its course only
when the novelty of the spring and
summer fabrics has died out and the
money laid by for the warm weather
wardrobe has been exhausted. There
is a delicious delight in being able to
revel amid spring fancies that only
feminine taste can know, and as a pas;
time nothing else in the whole category
of woman’s privileges can any Where
nearly approach it. If the shopper
would only pause to eat, as she should,
there could not be one word said
against this essentially feminine dissa-
pation, but there is not one out of ten
women who thinks it necessary to sit
down quietly for a half hour or an
to refresh tired nature by a really
sible bit of something to eat. ' - .
With her nerves buoyed up she goes
sen-
_ on all day with probably nothing more
substantial than a glass of ice cream
soda or a square of angel cake. Then
at night, when her head is aching fit to
burst, she refuses her dinner, and the
shopping tour that was begun so glee-
fully turns out to be the cause of a
great deal Of bodily harm.
‘We women are too high strung, .we
appreciate the value of every earthly
thing but rest, and that we seem to
think is a side issue of no importance,
and we go on using up our supply
of nerve force .until the great break up
of nature eventually comes. Perhaps
someone says what has this lecture to
do with shopping and midday meals?
It has much, for it is the small slights
that are a part of such a day’s work
that frequently form the foundation of
weakened frames and fretful tempera-
ments in the years to come.
