POSTAGE PREJ’AI D.
Hill and Cleveland Harmonious.
A few newspapers are strong in their
condemnation of Senator Hill because
he insists upon the entire abandon-
ment of the income-tax proposition,
now such a prominent feature in the
tariff bill. Some of these critics will
have it that Senator Hill is insincere in
the matter and that if the income-tax
feature were stricken out of the meas-
ure he would still be found with the
opposition—not because he believes in
the principals to which most of those
in the Opposition are pledged, but be-
cause he desires to embarrass the Pres-
ident and to discredit him and sup-
porters whenever an opportuni 0 do
so presents itself. In company with
the criticism is a great deal at abuse
and many threats. The senior Senator
from New York and other democrats
who agree. with him as to the tariff bill
and its income-tax appendage are in-
formed that the country is only waiting
for a chance to spring at their throats
and put a stop forever to their political
usefulness or mischief; it all depends
upon the point of view. As a matter
of fact, the long end of tho argumen-
tative lever is in the hands of those
democrats who insist upon material
amendment of the measure now before
the Senate. The bill does not in any
way resemblc’the legislation which was
outlined so clearly by the Chicago con—
vention, and the income-tax feature, to
which Senator Hill so strenuously and
properly objects, is not in accord with
the declarations of either of the two
big political parties. The populists fa-
vor it, but there is no reason why any
straight-out democrat or republican
should do else than speak and work
and vote against- the most unfair and
impracticable variety of taxation ever
proposed. Laying aside every other
cons1deration and paying no attention
to the charges that the tax would be a
sectional one and productive of class
differences, it is enough to know that
there is no necessity for the revenue
which would be produced. If the
tariff and internal-revenue estimates
as presented by Senator 'Voorhees are
correct, there will be a sufficiency of
revenue without that which it is calcu-
lated would be produced by the tax
which Senator Hill and other demo-
crats are being so roundly abused for
opposing. Complicated oflicial machin-
cry will be needed before a dollar of
tax can be squeezed from unwilling
citizens, and out of. this unwillingness,
already very apparent, offensive situa-
tions will develop until the govcrm
ment, through its tax-collecting repre-
sentatives will really become odious to
good and loyal citizens who deserve
much more of consideration at the
hands of the law-making powers than
they have been getting recently. Sen-
ator Hill stands on solid ground when
he ass-ails the income~tax proposition
and there is the highest authority for
the statement that the senator is in
strict accord with President Cleveland
in his opposition to the income tax part'
of the tariff bill. Should it finally
pass Congress it is now believed the
bill will be vetoed.

The report of the chief of police, in
which was incorporated the fact that
there had been ten arrests in April and
017 roadste‘rs furnished with lodgings,
was read and accepted. -
A communication from Hope Hose
company was received with a list of
newly elected officers and the prayer
in the same granted by the ratification
of the officers elected, by the company.
A petition was received from Buck-
ingham Post, G. A. R., asking for an
appropriation to be used in the observ-
ance of Memorial day.
Councilman Wheeler asked as to the
custom of the “powers that be” in the
past in such matters.
Councilman Adams moved that the
matter be referred to the selectmen.
Councilman Chinery suggested that
the petition be tabled. _ .
Councilman Pinnco thought it unwise
and not right to make such apprOpria-
tion.
Councilman Adams said that in his
opinion the Council had no right to
grant the prayer of the pct1t10ncrs,and
that it was wrong to establish such a
precedent as other organizations could
and probably would demand like recog-
nition. ‘
Councilman Osborne coincided With
the views of Mr. Adams.
Councilman Chinery remarked that
he hadmct Grand Army men who were
not in favor of having the petition pre-
sented. And the petition died, after
the passage of the following resolution:
lesolved, That while the disposition
of the Council individually is friendly
toward Buckingham Post, yet as a pub-
lic body we feel that we have no right
to vote away public money except for
public uses and that therefore the ap-
plication must be denied.
A petition was presented for a sewer
connection between the residences of
A. C. Golding and T. S. Vandal-hoof.
Councilman Osborne said that to his
mind the only ones to be benefitted

The prayer was nicely tied up and
placed in the hands of the sewer coin-
mittce, such committee to report at the
next meeting of the council.
Chairman Boyer of the finance com.
mittee was authorized to borrow $1,000
on the credit of the city. He stated
that he had succeeded in exchanging
the last lot of the borough notes for
city notes at a reduced interest and the
Council instructed him to burn the old
notes which he did with alacrity and a
match.
The city attorney was instructed to
see that the bonds of all city ofiicials
were properly made out and filed.
The chairman of the highway com-
mittee was directed to furnish a list to
the city clerk and attorney of all
those who had sidewalks out of repair,
that he might order the same put in

Editor B. W. Maples ot‘ the Hour
was given permission to “say some-
thing” and he took advantage of the
opportunity by bringing to the atten-
tion of the council in forcible language
the fact that some of the best shade
trees in town were liable to go the
demnition bow-wows if immediate ac.
tion was not taken in the premises.
He called attention to trees on both of
the main avenues of our city and
thought it a shame that they should
be permitted to perish, and inciden-
tally mentioncd the Disbrow preventa-
tive. Like a faithful attorney, the
city counsellor raised the question as
to who owned the trees.
Councilman Boyer, without malice
aforethought, modestly asked as to
why the trees in front of Mr. Disbrow’s
place seemed to be in no better health
than those which had received the Dis-
brow cure.
Councilman Adams, who was in New
Haven Monday, stated that he had
been informed that after all known
treatment and nursingr over 300 elms
had been cut down in that city.
The matter was left with the high~
way committee with power.
The report of the committee in the
case of the Norwalk Gas Light com-
pany vs. the Borough of Norwalk Was
then submitted and was a subject of
much discussion. The committee sug-
gested that the claim be compromised
and a settlement arrived at outside of
the courts where the case has been on.
trial for some years. -
Councilman Boyer said that the
“borough” had already expended over
$1,200 in defense of the suit, and even
though they had won in the lower
courts. he did not believe it policy to
fight in the higher courts necessitating
more expense, when perhaps the city
might be worsted on some technicality
or flaw. -
Councilman Wheeler was of the
opinion that while the council might
be severely criticized in making such a
compromise he, as a tax-payer, thought
- being accepted.

Councilman Osborn was excused
from giving an expression as he was a‘
director of the Gas company.
Councilman I’inneo voiced the opin-
ion of all by saying the matter ought
to have been settled long ago. But as
matters now stood was in favor of a
compromise.
Councilman Adams, one of the com-
mittee, said that he was in the minori-
ty and that he objected to the report
He considered the
amount demanded by the Gas company
as being excessive. Had been on com-
mittees in the matter four times before.
There were lots-of items on the bill
that ought not to be there. Remem-
bered‘that while a member of the court
of burgesses that an offer had been
made to settle with the Gas company,
an offer which he claimed was less than
half the amount now asked, and which
he understood would have been ac-
cepted, but for the fact that the prom-
dent .cfaimed he never knew of any
such ofl'cr. He did not Wish to throw
cold water on the amicable settlement
of a just claim ; but the amount claimed
was excessive, and he for one would
not vote in favor of its acceptance.
Councilman Pinneo begged to be ex-
cused and was granted permission by
the Mayor.
The following resolution was then
presented;
Resolved That the report and recommend-
ations of the committee appointed to investi-
gatcthe matter-of the suit of the Gas com-
pany against the city be accepted.
The following councilmen voted in
favor of its acceptance: Boy or, Os-
borne, Wheeler. Against, Adams and
Chinery. Mayor Keefer declared in
favor of the resolution as passed.
As an addenda (and a Vital one) the
following resolution was passed the
vote standing as on the first:
Resolved. That the suit of the sail (ias
Light company vs, the City be settled by the
citypaying to the Norwalk Gas Light com-
pany the sum of $750 85 with interest from
May 1st, 1883. and one~half of t is tonal costs of
the suit- upon condition that the said Gas
Light company gives to the citya release in
full of all claims for damages of any nature
by reason of the acts complained of in said
action. _
.A petition from Dwyer’s City of Nor-
walk band for money was put in the
satchel with the petition of Bucking-
ham Post, G. A. B. and for the same
reason.
Councilman Adams reported the work
on East avenue as being nearly com-
pleted, and also made the startling re-
port that the work had been done for
about $50 less than the amount appro-
priated. His report was accepted With
a shower of congratulations that made
him blush.
The city attorney was instructed to
publish the city ordinance relative to
throwing refuse, etc., on the streets, in
the NORWALK GAZETTE and Hour,
twice.
Councilman Wheeler s.id that he
had been informed that the vote passed
at the last city meeting appropriating
money for the construction of a sewer
on Butler street was illegal in that it
had been done by vim rocc instead of
by ballot as the charter specifies.
City attorney LockWOod on being
questioned gave it as his opinion that
the vote was not- legal, and excuse-d
himself and the Mayor for not having
noticed the fact at the time and insisted
on- a ballot being taken. .
It was then voted that a special meet-
ing be called for Monday May Pith at
23 p. m., for the purpose of appropriat-
ing the sum of $13,500 or whatever sum
the meeting might deem necessary for
the construction of a sewer on Butler
street.
The meeting then adjourned to May
Q-Ist at 8 o’clock p. in.

Narrowly Escaped Death.
Florance Callahan, a flagman on the
Consolidated road at Bowayton, nar-
rowly escaped being killed about 7
o’clock Monday evening. He was en-
gaged in flagging a train when a horse
belonging to M. H. Parsons broke
away and ran and in his mad haste
jumped upon Callahan, crushing him
to the ground. Those who saw the ac-
cident rushed to Callahan’s assistance
and he was taken in a semi-conscious
condition to his home near by. Dr.
Tracey was summoned, who found an
ugly cut on the man’s head nearly two
inches in length, a fracture of the
shoulder and a broken leg. Tue un-
fortunate man has several relatives in
this city. It is only a few weeks since
he recovered from an attack of pneu-
monia and but two weeks since his wife
gave birth to a child. Surely troubles
never come singly.

During: the Absence of Miss Sarah
Fitch BurglarsVisit Her East
Avenue Residence.
.‘_-_-____ _,_
Doors, Locks and Window Fasten—
ings Forced by the Thieves.
During the absence of Miss Sarah
Fitch. who is visiting friends at Fort
Hamilton, N. Y., her residence at 173
East avenue, nearly opposite the lesi-
dence of William H. Earle, was entered
by thieves and the house completely
ransacked “from collar to garret.”
EntraDCe was gained through a rear
window opening into a store room,
which was reached by means of a lad-
der and the glass and sash forced in.
Onceinside the thief or thieves burst
open the door and had free access to
the house. .
It is not known when the house was
entered but it is thought to have been
sometime between Sunday night and
Monday morning. Miss Fitch, on
leaving town, left the house in care of
Mrs. William B. Hendrick, who lives
opposite. Sunday afternoon the house
was visited by the Hendrick’s and
everything found secure, but earlv
Monday morning when George Greg;
ory, who works for Mrs. Hendrick, was
sent to Miss Fitch’s after greens he
discovered a quantity of. glass on the
walk at the rear of the house. Look-
ing up to see where it had come from
he discovered that the rear window had
been forced in. He at once hurried
home and notified Mrs. Hendrick and
her son William, who on going ever
found the side and rear doors unlocked.
An investigation in the house found
the front door bolted so that in case
any one from the Hendrick house had
tried to enter with the key the door
could not have been opened All the
doors down stairs and up, which had
been carefully locked, were found
broken open and Miss Fitch’s writing
desk had also been forced and her pri-
vate papers strewn all over the floor.
The catches on. the sitting room win-
dows had all been broken, but as the
windows had been nailed they could
not be opened. After breaking open
and ransacking everything on the lo «or
floor the burglars visited the upper
part of the house. Here they burst open
the doors and everything found locked
exceptinga room in the front part of
the house which they failed to get into.
Miss Fitch had taken the precaution to
remove all of her silver ware before go-
ing away and this therefore escaped.
All the plated w are was left in the house,
but the thieves did not disturb any of
it. Ahammer, screwdriver and tack
puller, which the thieves had used in
opening the doors and bureaus were
found up stairs, where they had been
left. Matches were strewn all about
as though the visitors had had no other
light with which to operate.
It was found that after the burglars-
had made a complete search of the
house they had gone into the dining
room and enjoyed some of Miss Fitch‘s
preserves and afterwards enjoyed a
quiet smoke.
As soon as the discovery was made
Miss Fitch was; notified and will no
doubt leave Fort Hamilton for home
today, and until she arrives and goes
over her effects it will be impossible to
state what has been taken away by the
midnight visitors.
No clue has been left and it is not
known who entered the house although
suspicion is aimed at some of the Ital-
ians who were working on the city im-
provements in Heat of Mr. Earle’s
Mrs. Hendrick informed a GAZETTE
representative this morning that as she
was looking out of the window one day
she saw an Italian go into Miss Fitch’s
yard and turning the slats to one of the-
window shutters try to peer inside to
see if anyone was occupying the prom-
