A Crank Governor.

On the day when the term of Davis
H. Waite, governor of Colorado, ex-
pires, there should be great rejoicing
in the centennial state, and especially
in that delightful city of Denver where
the governor’santics have wrought so
much of damage to the city’s best in-

 

..t‘ere’sts. The latest gubernatorial out‘
‘ break is now over and the people of

Colorado may, if they are so inclined,
sit down and figure out the expensive
character of their governor’s foolish-
ness. Capital, in these days, is easily
frightened and the amount diverted
from Colorado industries by the law-
dcfyirfg governor will never be known,
but itis certain that many dollars now
either ’uhinvested or else placed where
gubernatorial. anarchy does not exist

' were onhtheir way to the silver state

when Governor-Waite’s conduct chang-
ed their direction. It is gratifying to
know. that, the courts have rebuked
Governor Waite for his arbitrary appli-

._.'cation of forcible methods, for his bluff

at violence, but he will probably care

jii,j,lit;t:lp,g.for judicial condemnation when

thehcolding is followed immediately,

asltltiswas, by a decision'in his favor

asto the points which he sought to car-
ry by the rifle and bayonet. Waite
should now be able to see, as did others
.who tried to convince him, that his
threats of war were entirely unneces-
sary and that he alone is responsible
for the excitement and! tumult which

_ :; "upset Denver for days and, to a greater
or lessuextent, disturbed the entire

country. Never was any state in the
Union more unfortunate in its selection
of a governor than was Colorado when
it voted its highest honor to Davis H.
Waite. .

Chinese Cheap Labor.
Only a few people seem to be thor-
oughly dissatisfied with the treaty re-

 

cently negotiated between the United.

States and China. It will really be a
happy circumstance if a convention can
be arranged so as to accomplish that
exclusion of Chinese laborers which
the best interests of this republic un-
doubtedly demand. A good and neces-
sary end will be accomplished by the
means. The approval of the treaty,
voiced by Representative Geary of
California, seems to indicate that in
a general way the desired purpose has
been accomplished, although there may
be need of amendment as to details
and a little extra stiffening in one

or:two.‘-0f the. material provisions. It

was to be expected, of course, that
whatever the stand of the United
States government toward Chinese 19.-
borers in this country the Chinese gov-
ernment Would occupy a similar posi-
tion as to American laborers in China,
and although there is vast difference
between the two elements most immed-
iately concerned in the restrictive pro.
visions, still it would be impossxble to
make distinctions without violating
equities to which the Chinese attach
value.

As in protecting the American manu-
facturer and American laborer against
the products of foreign cheaper labor,
at least to the extent of the difi'crence
in wages, the republic takes its chances
of retallatory production by the na-
tions with which it deals, so in the
r'epublic’s new policy of protecting its
workmen, not merely against the pro-
ducts of cheap labor, but against the
unassimilated cheap laborer himself,
simple retaliation must be expected.

‘Our modern policy of protection de?

fends not only the workingman, and
affects not only the industrial situation,
but it protects the republic against the
necessity of taking into its system
'masses of material which cannot be
assimilated, poisoning the blood of the

body politic; it maintains and cmpha-.

sizes the distinction between the civili-
zation of the new world and that of
the old ; it preserves America for good
Americans by birth and adoption. If
the- very «few American laborers in
China find that they must endure some
inconveniences of registration or other-
WIse by reason of the treaty, they
must console themselves by the reflec.
tion that they suffer a very little at the
demand of equity to secure a great
public benefit, and if they have found

' that they can compete in the labor

market with the Chinese at home they
can safely return at once to America
with full assurance that they will be
able to support themselves against any
competition by their countrymen.

The petition of D. A. Newcomb for
the extension of the water .pipe on
Ward street, 200 feet, at a cost not in
excess of $75, was granted.

The chief of police reported 1’; ar-
rests for the month of March.

rIhe petition of E. P. H. Capron for
a crosswalk on Knight street near the
horse railroad stables was referred to
chairman of highway committee.

Councilman Chinery of the fire com-
mittee reported that Capt. Slattery
now had Hope Hose company under
control and in good working condition.

Chief Engineer Prowitt spoke in ref-
erence to what had been done by the
special committee appointed to reor-
ganize the fire department. He did
not hesitate to say that the captain of
the hose company had acted unman-
fully in the matterof the investigation,
and that the excuses offered by him
were not satisfactory, and suggested
that the committee hold another meet-
ing at which the captain might be fur-
ther heard in relation to the charges
against the company. - .

Councilman Osborn was of the 0pm-
ion that as the committee had not made
a formal report, the ’council could take
no action in the premises. Had escaped
being put on the committee and felt
free to criticize. The committee ought
to report and not let the matter of the
reorganization of the department die
out for want of action, and believed
that a written report ought to have
beensubmitted, and proper action wk
on on the same. »

Councilman Boyer had talked with
members of the fire department who
did not think a change desirable.

Councilman Pinneo was of the opin-
ion that in justice to the officers and
members of Hope Hose company a
written report ought to be presented.

Councilman Adams was not in favor
of a further meeting of the committee
for the purpose of listening to addi-
tional testimony, as he believed no
good could be accomplished by such a
meeting.

F. El. Nash & Bro. asked for a license
to tap sewers in the city of Norwalk.
Councilman Pinneo, who presented the
petition, stated that the petitioners
were of the belief that such a license
had previously been granted them, but
that it had been mislaid.

Clerk Lockwood stated that he had
looked over the minutes for the past
three years but failed to find any such
grant recorded.

The question was asked if N orwalk
plumbers had been granted licenses to
tap South Norwalk sewers by the coun-
cil of that city, after which the matter
was referred to the chairman of the
sewer committee with power.

rThc matter of William Sheldon’s
bond to the city was referred to the
chairman of the sewer committee for
investigation.

Councilman Pinneo reported that the
Electric Light Co. had failed to abate
the nuisance of letting their exhaust
steam escape into the sewer on Wilton
avenue, as ordered by the council. The
clerk was authorized to call the atten~
tion of the President of the company
to the matter.

Roger McGinnis offered to clean the
catch basins in the city at the rate of
$1.03 each. The matter was referred
to the chairman of the sewer commitee.

Council Pinneo called the attention
of the council to the rapid speed in
which the tramway cars were propelled
through Wall street, and thought such
speed ought to be restricted. The mat-
ter was left with the city attorney for
investigation.

The chairman of the finance commit-
tee was authorized to borrow $1,500 on
the creditof the city.

The petition of the health officer for
a badge of office was referred to the
chairman of the committee on police.

Councilman Osborn remarked that
he had noticed and given time and
thought to the legacy left the city at
the lower end of East avenue and near
the W. H. Earle residence. The street
was 1n 9. very dangerous condition. No
accident had yet occurred there which
'was in a great measure due to the care
exercised by the Tramway company in
propelling their cars by the point re-
ferred to’. The sidewalks should be cut
down and the street widened. Was of
the opinion that Mr. Earle would give
the land necessary for such widening,
provided the city would cut down the
walk and set the fence back, leaving
the walk in a proper condition. Did
not know the minds of adjoining prOp.
erty owners in reference to the matter,
but thought that an amicable agree-
ment could be reached. The place was
dangerous and now was the time to
romedy the evil and he hoped the coun-
cil would give the subject the consider--
ation it called for.

Councilman Boyer suggested that
the highwaycommittee give the matter
a thorough 1nvertigation and report at
the next-meeting of the council.

Councilman Adams thought that im-
mediate acuon should be taken in‘the
premises.

The matter was finally referred to
the highway committee, such commit-
tee to report at the next meeting of the

o

council.

 

CITY COUNCIL Mimic,

 

Councilman Adams reported that he
had ordered the gathering of garbage
in the streets, at the expense of the
city, stopped, as he did not think it fair
that the city pay for the removal of
garbage in one part of flu:- city and not
the whole. He stated 1 m expense last.
year-for such work was $3225. Had no-
tified property owners on the business
streets of the city that he could procure
a man who would remove the same
from each place at from 10 to 15 cents
per week each, and that they had re-s
sented such offer. ~ - '

Councilman Osborn said that he was
of the opinion that Councilman Adams
had acted wisely in the matter.

The fact was elicited that the Mayor
and each of the councilmen‘ paid for
the removal of the garbage from their
several homes, and it was the-voice of
full board that it was not fair to remove
the garbage from one man’s property
at the city’s expense unless it was done
for all.

Councilman Adams said that he had
fully considered the matter of letting
the work on the city streets out by con-
tract and was not cqual to the Situation.
He did not believe it possible, however,
to let the work out by contract (with
satisfactory results. Was in favor of
the best and cheapest method of work'-
ing the streets. At present was paying
$2.50 a day for man, horse and cart for
work on the streets. The last sweeping
given Main street was done at an ex-
pense of only 75 cents. The matter
was left to the chairman of the high.
way committee with power. '

Councilman Wheeler reported pro-
gress in the matter of contracting with
the Electric Light company for street
lights. Thought it would be advan-
tageous to the city to make contract for
one year only, as at the end of that
time better rates might be secured
than at present.

Councilman Wheeler presented a
resolu ion that a special city meeting
be cal ed for the purpose of ordering
an immediate construction of a sewer
on Butler street to connect with the
Orchard street sewer, and which had
been voted to have constructed at a
previous borough meeting. It was
learned that but one bid had been pre.
sentcd for the construction of said sew-
er, and that was something over $3,000.
The question as to benefits and dam-
ages as provided for under the new city
charter was brought forward and the
matter was tabled for one week for fur-
ther investigation. _

Councilman Pinneo reported that it
was the voice of the sewer committee
that they still retain charge of the work
on the sewers, and it was so voted.

The council then adjourned until
Monday April 9th at 7 o’clock.

Excelsior Water

The celebrancd Excelsior water is for
sale on draught at James Hadden’s store
at the corner of River and Wall streets.
The Excelsior Water can be used at any
and all times, and is a pleasant and
healthful beverage, but to produce an
Apericnt or Cathartic effect it should be
taken before breakfast, in quantities
varying from one-to four glasses, as ex-
pericnce may dictate. A cup of hot
coffee taken just before eating break-'
fast will tend to accelerate its cathartic
action. Mr. Hadden draws the water
from the brrrel, which he receives di-
rect from the spring at Saratoga. He
sells it by the quart or gallon.

“About eight years ago I began taking Hood’s
Sarsaparllla 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
so I could not see a ray of light or hear a sound,
as I would go almost wild. My nervous system
was badly rundown. I decided to give Hood’s
Sarsaparilla 9. trial, and found in a. short time that

It Was Benefiting Mo

bottles. It cured me, and from that time until a

Amusements.

 

norr’s OPERA HOUSE.

The Prince of Comedians, Mr. Ben-
ry E. Dixey, at the head of Rice’s Big
Burlesque Company, will be the at-
traction at Hoyt’s Opera House, Satur-
day evening, April 7th. Dixey at the
head of Rice’s Big Burlesque Com-
pany is at his best and never was more
gaaccful or gave so amusing an enter-
tainment as he does in the new “Adon-
is.” His impersonation of Irving be-
ing talked of everywhere and every
new feature being introduced into the
performance is as well received as any
of the old ones, the best of which are
still retained. So changeable is Dixey,
so many new things does he introduce
at every performance, that it is ex-
tremely difficult to say what he is
going to do. Even the members of
the company cannot tell what is com-
ing half the time, for Dixey’s wit and
versatility lead him to introduce a new
line or a new caper at the most incon-
ceivable time. But his songs and
dances and his lightning changes are
always applauded and people who have
once séen “Adonis” come again and
again. ' .
