_ All Hail!
Every law-abiding citizen will more
than exult at the dressing down ”the
'demagogic populist successor of Sena-
tor Ingalls of Kansas, got yesterday at
the hands of Senators Davis of Minne-
sota, and Gordon of Georgia. A re-
port of the event will be found in our
telegraphic columns. \
Peffer’s speech and resolution were
distinctly intended to encourage and
inflame the forces of disorder and re.
bellion.
There is no politics or partisanship
in this matter. Thc‘Georgia Senator
was as outspoken as the one from Min-
nesota, and eloquently declared that
the men who wore the gray thirty
years ago would be found side by side
with those who wore the blue in up-
holding the dignity of the Republic
and enforcing the laws.
Wires Underground.
New York, Washington and other
cities have resolutely entered upon the
long and earnestly demanded reform
of placing all telegraph, telephOne,
trolley and fire alarm wires in a con:
duit under ground. This is deemed a
necessity as a safe-guard against in-
' juries to life and property by the over-
head systems. The Massachusetts Leg-.
islature passed at its last session a bill
providing for burying electricLWir'es in
cities. A commissioner of wires has
now been nominated and the “Boston
Advertiser” expects to see a large part
of the wires in Boston buried before
the year is out. This reform will soon
or late be inaugurated here in the
thickly settled portions of the cities of
Norwalk and South Norwalk. The un-
sightliness of these myriad~ electric
wires is transcended by the multiplied
injuries they cause, and with which the
newspapers are daily freightedfwand
underground they must ultimately-go.
Debs Arrested. "
The man who more than any other is
responsible for the murder, arson and
general lawlessness that have run riot
in Chicago .has at last been placed un-
d‘e'r " arrest. Any other executive save
theAnarchist Altgeld would have placed
himibehind prisOn’ bars at the outset of
his. law-breaking and defying career.
”l'ouldbefimockery of law and jus-
55'1'5ticeii'fé'he‘ were not called to accOunt.
The action of the Federal Grand Jury
in Chicago was prompt and satisfactory.
The masterly charge of Judge Gross-
cup 0; needed'the right of laboring men
to organize, but declared most emphati-
cally that if the law had been violated
it must be vindicated. The indictment
against Debs and his associates charges
conspiracy to interfere with the United
States mails only. The proof is, of
course, ample on this point.
The next incendiary to be gathered
in ought to be his fellow conspirator,
General Master Workman Sovereign,
of the Knights of Labor. His plan and
purpose is to aid Debs in his insurrec-
tion, and is therefore criminal. His
boast that he can call out a million
Knights of Labor will not be realized,
_ but his disposition to do it is clear. ,
Debs and his allies will find that they
have entered upon a serious undertak-
‘ ing in pitting themselves against a
Government of 70,000,000 people. They
have done the cause of honest Organ-
ized Labor, more harm within the past
ten days than they can ever undo. The
Labor organizations will be found
ranged on the side ‘of law and order.
For Congress.
The Weekly Journal of Ashland,
Kansas, edited by, our former fellow
townsman, Charles "P.1Woodbury, Esq.,
and largely by the grace of ex-Senator
E. J. Hill, a legislative clerk of the
Connecticut House and Senate, in an
able, elaborate and cogently urged edi—
torial, advocates the sending of Mr.
Hill to Congress from this District.
This is very kind and very grateful of
friend Woodbury, but the suggestion
is not an original one with him, and
the Gamma does not propose to-be
show of its laurels as a first diacoverer
in a case like this. More than a half
dozen years ago, the ever alert Gk-
zn'r'rrr, discuvered that no pent-up Uti-
ca of_a Norwalk lumber yard should
' confine his powers; that nature, educa- ’
tion, tastes and cultivation, preeminent-
ly fitted him for aplace in Congress,
where _the whole boundIefss contincp/fi;
should be his. And 50,.ifi'seasqg mag.
out of season, the Gaznrnzgg @7311
the force ,of earnest conviction, hrged
Mr. Hill’s nomination and'elehtion-up;
on the Republican "electors" ofthis
Fourth Congressional district. . _
Xears ago he was‘the leading candiii
. .West- End and is a hard working man.

ty’s heavier artillery’of delegates.
' The political conditions this year are
more encouraging for republican suc-
cess, and Mr. Hill’s claims should re:
ceive favorable consideration. His de-
sire for the position is an entirely hon-
orable ambition, all the more laudible
that he does not seek to conceal it by
any false and deceptive mock modesty.
The Southern system of candidates ap-
pealing to their friends through cards
published in the public newspapers an-
nouncing theircandidacy is in point of
honest frankness far ahead of our
Northern.practice “of deceptively ar-
ranging to have the office ardently de-
sired. made to appear to the uninitiated
to be seeking the man instead of the
man seeking the office.
Again, early in the present season.
the GAZETTE, though now strictly nor.-
partisan, announced its championship
of E. J. Hill for Congress, E. O. Keeler
for the Senate, Malone for Postmaster
and Vollmer for Sherilf—and all be-
cause they were eminently fitted for
the positions, and over and above all,
they are Nonwanx Man, which is an
end of the argument. . .
Of late the Gaznrrn’s Congressional
candidate has been attending “assidu-
ously” to the building, or rather to the
rehabilitating of Norwalk’s old and
efete horse railway, into a modernized.
trolley system. In this, as in all else
that engages Mr. Hill’s wonderful en-
ergies, he has proved himself a pro-
nounced success. Indeed, Mr. Hill has
by nature a special aptitude for elec_
trical work of any kind. He has more
lightning in his‘ boots and more busi-
ness brains to the square inch’in his
head than two-thirds of our present
nondescript Congress.
Any man who can tear up public
highways, raise and lower street grades,
set electric wire poles alongthc front
lines of cross and crusty owners, and
leave everybody satisfied and happy,
and himself outside a lunatic asylum,
is worthy a seat in Congress. Yea more,
he should be a Secretary of State, where
the most subtle and exhaustive re-,
sources of statesmanship may be called
into play.
Wants His Child.
The question whether or not a man is
entitled to the custody of his child after
its commitment to the County home or
whether somebody else has a better
right to it, is soon to be decided by the
County commissioners. The decision
will affect not one, but many men whose
children have been taken from them
because” of their inability to provide
fortithem. ‘ . . .
. _ About two years ago. Hilmer Bodine
Was sent from Bridgeport to the County
home). Hilmer’lsjfath'er is a Swede and
.‘Ihishameiis Gustav._ He resides in the
time was unable to care for them all, so
Hilmer was sent to the home. He had
been there but a short time when Mrs.
Daniel Green of West Norwalk visited
the institution. She had no children
and wanted a little boy to live with her.
The fair haired little Swede attracted
her attention and finally she took him
to her home. He was a bright little
fellow and she and her husband grew
to be very fond of him. In fact- they
thought so much of. him that now they
don’t want to give him up. About three
weeks ago Hi mer’s mother died and
Mrs. Green brought him to Bridgeport
to attend the funeral. He was so over-
joyed to. see his father and brothers and
sisters that he didn’t want to go back.
When Mrs. Green wanted to return
he was not to be found and she finally
had to go without him. Later, it was
found that he had hidden in the house
of one of the neighbors till he saw her
leave. The boy’s father was also loath
to lose him. He now has work and is
able to provide for .all’ his family, so he:
applied to the commissioners to have
the child recommitted to his care.
Major Middlebrook presented the pe-
tition and immediately struck a snag.
Mr. and Mrs. Green didn’t want the
boy to be taken from them and ap-
peared before the commissioners who
constitute the board of Management of
the home. They vigorously opposed
the granting of the petition. The com-
missioners have now had the matter
under consideration for some time
and a decision is expected shortly.

Millions of Them.
It is told of a New Canaan man that
shore the other day and hitching him
to a tree, went off to dig some clams.
He was absent perhaps two hours, per-
haps longer. Anyhow on his return he
found a brown horse tied to the tree
where he had left a white one. He
couldn’t account for the change, but
decided to start for home. Getting in-
to the wagon he drove off, but had gone
but a- short distance before the wheels
of the Wagon refused to move. Look-
ing as tothecause he discovered that
they were mired in millions of mosqui-
toes. Then it was that he also saw that
the animal life was driving was his own,
only that it was covered with mosqui-
toes. Hesecured some planks and a
shovel and after an hour’s hard work
managed to get'out of his predicament
and on the road home. The next time
he goes clamming he will visit some
other locality.
. S.—He now says that he remem-
bers while digging the clams that the
sun was obscured 'for about twenty
minutesand he now thinks that the
cause was a cloud of mosquitoes.

A TILT IN THE SENATE.
Peflcr Scores Pullman, and Davis Attacklé
the Striking Rallroaders.
'v’AsnIxGTox, July 11.-—When the sen-
ate met today and after the transaction of
some‘routlne morning business. the reso-
lution introduced by Senator Pefier yes-
terday was laid before the senate, when
Mr. Blackburn sought to get considera-
tion for the postoflicc appropriation bill,
but Mr. Pcffer declined to yield for such a
' purpose. " ' .
‘ Mr. 'Pefier then went on to discuss his
resolution, which‘looks to thegdwernmentv
control of thef‘rallivay‘s and‘coal'fieldszlaiid .
the adoption of" the doctrine of a single“
tax. ‘
Hc appealed to senators to listen, for
while he was not a prophet, nor the son
of a prophet, nor an alarmist, yet he had
time and time again called the attention
of the country to what seemed to him to
be within the range of an ordinary man’s
horizon—the public danger. All his propo-
sit-ions related to one fundamental error
which the country had fallen into—the
.danger of allowing a few men hero and a
few men there to usurp governmental
functions. All public functions should be
exercised by government officers.
He referred to Debs as a man of whom
the country had heard a great deal lately,
but of whom it Was likely to bear very
much more before long. Mr. Pcffcr said
that when the Pullman company estab-
lished what the people of the “World be-
lieved to be an ideal community. in which
all should have equal rights and none
special ‘pirllvcges, every one commended
't for ltSvphllanthropy.
But the charges for rent and for the neo-
essaries of life were deducted from the
men’s monthly pay, and when their wages
were'reduced the ’mcn submitted, but
asked that their rents and taxes be re-
duced, but found that they were in the
.power of a corporation without a soul, un-
til finally they came to‘ the conclusion
that they might as well starve in support
of their rights as in filling the coflers of
Pullman.
He referred to the arrogant, attitude of
Pullman and of the Pullman officials and
read from this morning’s dispatches of the‘
interview of the Chicago aldermen with
Vice President Wickes during which the
latter iterated and reiterated, "The Pull-
man company has nothng‘ to arbitra .’,.’
Whether it was right for thoA. R. U.rto
strike in sympathy and refuse to haul
Pullman cars it was not his purpose to
argue,but the ominous situation confront-
ed the country, and it is our duty to deal
with it. ' ‘
Senator Davis, the author of the now
famous telegram to the Duluth labor
leaders, took the floor in reply to Peffcr
and made a vigorous speech against all
forms of lawlessness and the attempts
which he said strikers are making to pre-
vent'the movement of trains. The sen-
ators gathered about him and listened
with great attention. ' '

“While waiting at a. railroad station
not many miles distant from Utica the
other day for an east bound train, ” said
a man, “a train passed going west. As;
the ,end of the train pulled out of the sta-
tion a man with unusually long legs was
seen running into one end of the depot
and out of the other to the platform. .
He started after the moving train at a.
lively gait. He carried two grips, one
in either hand, and they swung to and ,
fro in a. laughable manner. On he went, ,
and on the tr’ain Went. He gained on the
train at first, but the train was all the
time picking up, and he finally stopped.
He walked back leisurely, the onlookers
at the depot waiting till he came up to
give him the laugh. As he approached
his hand in his pocket, pulled out a roll.)

the Subcommittee Held '8. Electing st
“’hlch It Is Believed That It Was
Decided to Report In Favor of
Holding an Investigation.
WASHINGTON, J uly 11.—Therc is a pas»
Iibllity that-the great railroad strike will
be investigated by the house committee
on interstate andforelgn commerée. "Sev-
eral resolutions to this purport, notably
that introduced by Representative Grain
of Texas, have been referred to the com-
mittee, and Chairman Wise of Virginia
has designated a suchmmittee to consider
the whole question. . \
Members of the subcommittee are Mal-
lory (Dem., Fla. ), Brickner (Dem., Wis),
Gresham (Dem., Tex. ), Mahan (Dem.,
Pa.). 5 ,
The subcommittee held a meeting today
to consider the advisability of an investi-
gation and will report in its favor tomor-
row.
. It was agreed among the members of
the committee to keep secret their delibera-
tions of today. It is known, however,
that they discuss the advisability of mak-
ing 31;, investigation and will repert to the
full committee tomorrow, which will in
turn report to the house. It can: be said
on authority of one of the subcommittee
that the report will recommend that an
investigation of the whole railroad strike
be made. This would be broader than
was contemplated in the resolutions intro-
duced, which were for an inquiry into the
troubles of the Pullman company with
its employees. There was also some an-
tagonism to proceeding at this time, while
the '- public mind is inflamed, and some
thought it better to delay any proceeding:
until the heat of. disturbance has passed
over. = ~ » . -
' Mlles’ Last Report Cheering.
~ There was a dearth of news touching
the -_ great railroad strike at army head-
quarters today. The last report from Gen-
eral Miles came late last night and de-
scribed the sltuatlon at Chicago as very
quiet. No further re-enforcements have
been ordered to his support, and he has
made no request for additional troops. It
is net believed here that there will be any
outbreak at Chicago. but, of course some
apprehension is felt as to the outcome of
the general strike that is expected to be-
gin tomorrow. Further attacks upon the
railways are not feared particularly, be-
cause the milltary is believed to control
that phase of the situation, but it is ap-
prehended that some rioting may take
place in the city proper. .
“ In such case, unless the governor should
call for the aid of the federal trOops, it is
probable that the police and state militia
will have to deal with the disorderly ele-
ment, save, of course, in the event of any
demonstration that may threaten the‘pub-
_'llcbuildings, and other federal property.
.In somerquarters there has been ‘a disposi-
tiOn to attribute the president’s proclama-
tion to a disposition to call out. the state
militia, but this is positively denied in
official circles,“ and it appears that the
president’s Course is 'slmply’in‘ the line ‘of .
ute. - —
. The official eye today is fixed upon Cali-
fornia, and ‘it- 'is expected thrt General
Rugcr, with the aid of the (mines, if
necessary, «Will» start to drive the wedge
that» will ‘split wide open the formidable
obstruction to trafiic over the Central and
Union Pacific railroad systems which has
practically isolated San Francisco from
the east for nearly two weeks.
Senator Hansbrough Surprised.
Senator Hansbrough of North Dakota
was surprised today' ripen reading the
president’s proclamation to find his state.
through which the Northern Pacific runs,
included among those to which the procla-
mation should apply. _ "If,” he said,
“there is any. such condition of affairs
.exlstingln North Dakota as is described
in ‘ the proclamation, I' have not been
made aware of the fact. It is true that
some men have gone on a strike, but they
have not, to my knowledge, created any
disturbance. ” '
For the purpose 'of informing himself
the senator sent the following telegram of
inquiry to the governor of his state:
“Hon. E. G. C. Shortrldge, Governor,
Bismarck, N. D.: _
“The president’s proclamation this
morning declares that, owing to unlawful
Obstructions, it has become impracticable
to enforcethe laws of the United States
by the ordinary course at certain points
and places 'in North Dakota, and in his
judgment it has becomc’necessary to em-
ploy. the military forces of the United
States. Please advise me if, as governor,
you'have called for aid and‘ if the situa-
tion in North Dakota is such as to require
the presence of federal troops.”
N 0 reply has yet been received.
Fear No General Strike.
Postal authorities here, from their Chl-
cago advices, do not believe there will be
any general strike, and that 'even should
one be ordered the number of unions de-
clining to obey would reach fullyflone-half
by tomorrow night. The situation is still
consideredyery grave, despite the general
improvement of the past 24 hours.
Local railroad officials are not alarmed
at the threatened general strike. They
discountenance the idea that the move.
ment will affect Washington in any Way
precedent and in‘conformlty with the stat-
‘anrb are confident that in the event of the
promulgation of the threatened order their
men,'who, they claim, have nogricvance
and no sympathy with the strike, would
refuse to-obey. The traffic over the Wash-
ington lines to Chicago is fully as heavy
as the average, and there are now no in-
terruptions to encounter.
A special train carrying the Washlnton
delegation to the Christian Endeavor con-
ventlon at Cleveland, 175 strong, pulled
out of the Pennsylvania depot today.
