Announcement,

We take pleasure in announcing to
the readers of the GAZETTE that the
first chapter of the “Recollections of
a War Correspondent,” by the editor
of the GAZETTE, will be published in
the Weekly issue to-morrow. This ar—
ticle will be followed by a. number of
others, which we are sure will be of
general interest to all, but more espec-
ially to the veteran and the young peo-
ple who have grown up since the great
war for the preservation of the Union.

Tariff Reform Off its Base.

A correspondent of the New York
Herald, who signs himself “Democrat,”
and whose communications conclusive-
ly prove that he is not parading under
false colors, has this, among other
things, to say of the income tax rider
of the Wilson tariff bill:

“That premise that McKinleyism is
unconstitutional_ and robbery .tails 111
the realm of logic, as even a. blind man
can see, to uphold a conclusmn that an
income tax was pledged. .Sll' Bonert
Peel did, it is told, use an income tan a
half century ago to remove the British
McKinleyism of that day. . \Vhy? Be:
cause, as Peel said in 1115 speech of
March 11, 1849. England had ‘errivcd
at the limit of taxation of articles of

consumption’ under English McKin-
leyism. The orange has been sucked

dry. But that is not our condition to
day. Sugar and molasses can yield
under the rates of 1883 seventy millions
a year and nobody feel it.”

It is the most remarkable phase of
the whole history of our tariff legisla-
tion that a party which is pledged to
revenue reform, and which has within
its easy reach dutiable articles enough
to provide for the requirements of the
government without in any material
sense increasing the burdens of the
people, should so far lose sight of its
pledges and instructions, so far depart
from the spirit of reform, as to incor-
porate within its proposed legislation a
measure which even overtops in atroci-
ty the “culminating atrocity” of the
McKinley bill.

It certainly cannot- be pleaded by
then: reformers that the imposition of
an income tax is a necessity. The Uni-
ted States has not yet reached the
point at which Great Britain'was halted
by Robert Peel in 1842-. This great
statesman did not demand an income
nix as a measure of reform. It was not
for its inherent justice or other virtues
that it was suggested, but simply be-
cause England had “arrived at the limit
of taxation of articles of consumption.”
The government was compelled to look
elsewhere for revenue. It had got to
the end of its tariff tax tether.

Such is not the case in the United
States. The tariff can be revised, can
be reformed, can be relieved of many
of what are considered its present ob-
noxious and oppressive features, can
be materially reduced at many points,
and still be made sufficient for the
public needs, still be kept at a revenue
point above the danger line of a deficit.
The orange has not been squeezed, and
none know this better than the mem-
bers of Congress who, under the pre-
tense that in no other way can the
wants of the government be met, are
insisting upon the revival of a tax that
was never anything but a war measure,
that was always odious, that the Demo-
cratic party has uniformly repudiated
in the past, and that the people of all
parties will be absolutely certain to
repudiate in the future. '

In his recent letter to President
Black, of the National Association of
Democratic Clubs, Mr. Cleveland in-
vokes them “to save the party, in this
time of its power and responsibility
from the degradation and disgrace of a
failure to redeem the pledges upon
which our fellow-countrymen intrusted
us witli,the control of this govern-
ment.” '

Where among these pledges can even
the enemies of the administration find
the rcmotcst semblance of a pledge to
yoke the necks of the people with a
discarded measure of the worst period
of Republican reconstruction?

War on Oyster Dredgers.

The sclectmen oquilford havebocuu
a war upon the numerous oyster dredg-
ers who have been taking oysters from
the natural beds in East and West
rivers. These bed- were discovered
about two years ago and permission was
granted to the people of the town to take
two bushels a day from them. Some
of the ovstermen went into the business
ona wholesale plan and were taking
from fifty to sixty bushels daily. Com-
plaint was made of these raids and Con-
stable Dudley has been detailed to
watch over the beds. The dredging
continues but the raids by the oyster-
inen have been stopped. It is thought
the beds can now be preserved.

The Fourth Regiment.

Col. Frost presided at the ofiiccrs’
meeting of the Fourth regiment at the
Armory, Bridgeport, Wednesday even=
ing. Twenty officers were present.
Capt. Holley of Stamford, inspector of
small arms practice, gave a short but
interesting talk on the manner of keep.
ing scores at rifle practice. Col. Frost
complimented the officers for the ex-
cellent work accomplished during the
season and said the regiment was in

 

better standing than Since 1884.. The
colonel also thought the regiment

would hold its own with any in the
brigade at the coming August encamp-
ment. During the meeting thunderous
reports were heard from below, badly
frightening several officers. They were
assured that the machine gun we s prac-
ticing, which calmed them. The com-
panies will hold their annual parade in

Don Juan Again.

Don Juan St. Carlos was fined $7
and costs and sent to jail for thirty
days Wednesday, in Bridgeport, for
stealing $8 from Victor Bias of New
Haven. .Don made a plea in his own
behalf worthy of a better cause. He
denied that he took the money, but he
admitted that he found a dollar on the
floor. Don said : “I went into the s. -
Icon and I saw a bill on the floor. I
picked it up and glanced around to see
if any one was looking; then I put it
in mynpocket and said, ‘Don, that’s for
'011.’ =

“Why (lid you not ask who it be-
longed to '3” was the question.

“If I had held it up everybody
wlould have claimed it,” was Don’s re-
1) .Y-

Don then proceeded to tell his ex-
perience with the courts during the
past two years, much to the amusement
of everybody present. It was all a
case of hard luck from beginning to
end. He stabbed his man by accident.
He admitted it before the superior
court, but said he did not mean to do
it. The judge said eight months.
When he got out of jail he went to
Norwalk and there met a colored girl
whom he married. It was his hard
luck that she had another husband.
He was arrested for bigamy, but the
information was changed to “inde-

 

cent exposure” and the judge said
three months more. Don thought that
was hard luck ; most people would say
he was fortunate. Don nearly caused
the court to front by saying that he
was 49 years old; he does not look
thirty. “Why. I have got a son as big
as you. Mr. Klein,” said Don as a

Look O'ut For Murderers.
' Frank Mart-noel, aged 26, an Italian,
married, was murdered on the railroad
at Hill street, Waterbury, Wednesday
night by three brothers, John, Thomas
and Joseph Neuvrlle. He was shot in
four places, with 38 calibre bullets.
Martucci kept rabbits in his cellar and
the Neuvilles said that the rabbits ate
their potatoes. A row ensued and the
Neuvilles waylaid Martucci on his re-
turn from work. The murderers es-
caped toward New Haven.
A Mistake of Little Judges.
Once in a while a Judge of a court
breaks out with the mistaken idea that
reporters are allowed in court through
the coprtesy of the court. That is a
comment which is made upon Judge
Doolittle’s attempt to discipline the
New Haven Register. Wherever a trial
is public, the reporters are present, not
by any courtesy of the court, but by a
right guaranteed by the constitution.
The Judge is not an autocrat in his
court and one who tries to be such will
hurt himself. He is there under control
of the laws which provide courts and in
a public trial the reporters have just as
much right there as the Judge himself.
It is only the justices of smaller courts
who are apt to forget this.

For several days the GAZETTE has
been running an advertisement asking
the public to watch for a new project.
The project is published in the last col-
umn of this page. A five dollar gold
piece is to be given to the person guess-
ing nearest to the number of matches
contained in a jar at Hale’s drug store.
Aeoupon is printedin the advertise-
ment which is to be filled out and hand-
ed in at the store together with ten
cents, and in order that every one will
receive the full value of the ten cents
Mr. Hale will present each one guess-

has no equal for cleaning windows,
show cases, paint, metal, marble or
jewelry, and for removing tar, paint or
ink from the hands it is unsurpassed.

Banker Benedict Robbed.

Andrew Zeilott, forty-six years old,
a Swede, made a confession at Police
Headquarters, in New York, Wednes-
day afternoon, in which he told that it
was he who decamped with the $5,000
worth of silverware from the house of
E. C. Benedict, the banker, of No. 10
West Fifty-first street.

Zeilott was employed by Banker
Benedict as a butler. He was former-
l_v employed by the Astors, and at one
time was a valet to the King of Sweden.

Last Saturday he left the Benedict
home. A large portion of the silver-
ware of the banker was soon after
missed. In his possession were found
twenty-nine pawn tickets. He had
pledged the silverware in the pawn-
brokers.

He was taken to Police Headquar-
ters, when he confessed his guilt. He
said that his thefts were entirely due to

women.

" C. I. Hood 8: 00., Lowell, Mass:

“ My little granddaughter, Gracie E. Nash of
Boston, while visiting at our house met with an
accident which nearly killed her. She fell from
the hay mow to the barn floor almost 18 feet
- below and was rendered unconscious. Her
mother took her to the Boston Clty Hospital.
The side of the head was badly crushed. Blood
poisoning set in and the child did not rally. She
could not eat anything; her stomach was so
rebellious that she threw of! all nourishment.
Her mother sent for me and when Intent to the
girl, her spinal cord and the cords of her neck

Hood sari“ Cures

were all drawn up and a copper color had set-
tled over her. I could quickly see the traces 01
blood poisoning, and persuaded her mother to
let me take the girl back to our country home.
She consented and as soon as I reached home
I commenced to give the child Hood’s Sax-sapa-
rllla. It quickly overcame her sickness and the
stiffness left her neck. The good effects were
also noticeable about the wound on her head.
In less than a month she was able to

Run About the Farm,

and in a short time afterwards she had com-
pletely recovered her full strength and health,
and it is all due to Hood’s Sarsaparilla. She

that this new move will tie up the \Vest

or three days, and that the situation may
become embarrassing for the whole Pann-

they have coal enough to keep them, sup-
plied as long as the strike may lamb. Else—

of strikers are again marching through
the region to intimidate workmen, but so
far no violence has been committed. Many
men were prevented from going to work

ance of the strikers. Serious trouble is
expected, and deputies are on guard at
many places.

UNIOXTOWN, Pea, April 26.-—The strikers
scored their first victory by the Atlas Coke
company signing the scale as demanded
