Their Notices Not .Seen.

The water commissioners indicate
that they expect to have their orders
obeyed. If people will not listen to
warning, they are to be put 1n such a
position that they cannot use the water

To the great mass of users of the city
water, the above “brave wo'rds” are all
Greek. If the water commissioners de-
sire their oflicial fulminations to be read
by their thirteen hundred customers,
they should either address a notice. to
each consumer by postal card, or else
publish them in a newspaper that is
read by all the people. There is a
whole avenue near the centre of the city,
where but one single water consumer
saw the paper in which the order above
referred to, appeared.

Tariff Bill Bursted.

After months of dreary, vexatious
scheming and tinkering of the proposed
Reform Tarifi Bill, the Democrats of
the Conference Committee of the two
Houses, emerge from their seclusion
and report an irreconcilable disagree-
ment! Thousands of millions of dollars
have been lost to this country and to
our laboring masses, by’reason of the
threat to destroy our own American
industries and give our future orders
to the manufacturers and their pauper
paid laborers in Europe. And now it
looks as if we might be compelled to
endure the McKinley law for another
year at least, and run the terrible risk
of a return to the distressingly pros-
perous times preceeding‘ the last Presi-
dential election, when all our factories
were iunning, all our laboring masses
at work and a period of business activ-
ity and success, unprecedented’in this
or any other country, everywhere pre-
vailed.

There is a hailing cry of distress go-
ing'up all over the country calllng for
a halt in this Tariff scandal and butch-
ery of all our business industries.

“Disagreed” indeed! Well, the Peo-
ple of this country have disagreed with
the ruinous Tariff performance through-
out, and have shown that disagreement
at every election which has taken place
since the lamentable farce opened.
They will continue to “disagree” in the
elections now to follow.

As a Compromise-

The warring elements among our
Democratic friends at Washington as
regards the tariff, leads us to indicate a
simple way out of the woods. It is now
plain as a pipe-staff, that the Wilson
Bill can never become a law, and it is
equally evident that the “diluted” Mc-
Kinley bill of the Senate is foredoomed
to a defeat. Leaving the McKinley
bill on the statute book will not, how-
ever, cage the tariff bear. That this
country believes in some sort of pro-
tection is certain, but that it is irrevoc-
ably committed tO some of the ultra
features of the McKinley tariff, admits
of a strong doubt.
tion which should be settled all agree,
and none more than the merchants and
manufacturers of this country. Tariff
agitations are harmful and tariff chang-
es much more so. Every change in the
tarifi‘ has been followed by a financial
“squall” of greater or less importance,
and yet the politicians of both parties,
decline to leave the question alone.
Strictly speaking, the tariff has no more
connection with politics than the bait-
ing of a fish hook, but it is a question
that has got into politics and it will
stay there until the American people-
rise up in their might and cry out
“hands off.”

In view of the present situation, we
believe the question capable of a settle-
ment and a permanent one at that.
We advocate no experiment or crank
legislation, we simply suggest that Con-
gress rc-enact the tariff of 1883; and
our reasons are: it is no experiment as
it was on the statute book for seven
years; it has been through the courts
.and would call for but few, if any at
all, further judicial explanations; the

 

 

That it is a ques‘

 

Treasury ofiicials know all about its
tails and administration; merchants and
manufacturers are acquainted with its
previous workings and effects upon
theirbusiness; as a revenue producer
it has a record as wast‘shown during the
last year of President Cleveland’s pre-
vious administration. Our Democratic
friends could consistently support it,
because it substantially endorses Mc-
Kinleyism, and because the denuded
condition of the Federal Treasury're-
quires cash more than anything else.
Our Republican friends could not re-
ject it because it was framed and passed
under Republican auspices, and it
might ’lead to an agreement to leave
the tariff alone for the next twenty five
years. But best of all, we have a
“ready made” law that could be passed
and signed by the President inside of
two hours if Congress had any disposi-
tion to expedite matters, and settle this
troublesome question. Here, in our
judgment, is common ground where
all the warring elements can ‘figet to-
gether” and give us a law that is in no
sense experimental, but that has been
tried and tested; that is a step in the
direction of alower tariff arid one more-
over that has yielded ample revenue.
If Congress had any regard for the
American people; if they desired to see
business revive, factories run and the
thousand activ—Ities of the county re-
sume, they would settle this question.
If, however, they wish to see the coun-
try languish, and idleness and want,
the right hand of anarchy, continue to
work mischief, they will keep this
question open indefinitely.

 

important Changes.

The Fairfield County Bank despair-
ing of ever training the good and faith-
ful general house clea r, Charley Ad-
dison, into a reliable Wurglar catcher,
have permitted him to resign his long
held and responsible position as body
guard and protector of the bank and its
officers, and appointed in his stead the
more able and stalwart, paler faced
friend and brother, Frederick Thomp-
son, as future night watch and guar-
dian of the venerable institution. Nor
is this all. Builder Malkin is at work
cutting a door through the partition

 

”separating the Directors’ rooms Of the

National and Savings Banks, so that
the new watchman can have charge of
the two institutions and receive a com-
pensation befitting a man of responsi-
ble character.-. The Savifi’gs Bank has
in contemplation the introduction of
steam heat into the Selectmen’s and
Town Clerk’s ofiices, and so reduce the-
trouble and danger from fires, inciden-
tal to the use of stoves.

STRANGE DEPREDBTION

The Slate Slab Clandestinely Re-
moved From a Table ,Monu-
ment In The East _Nor-
walk Cemetery.

Disco'vered Buried About One-Half
Mile Distant From the
Graveyard.

A strange depredation has been dis-
covered by a wellknown Norwalk an-
tiquarian iu the East Norwalk ceme-
tery.

In this garden of the dead, Norwalk’s
most ancient burial ground, there are
two monuments, twins in the particu-
lars of shape and size. Both mark the
the colonial era, and both are fairly
preserved. They are the only two of
the kind In the inclosure, and beneath
them sleep two of the principil men of
early N orwalk

Governor Fitch’s name and the testi-
mony to his talents and virtues are
legiblyinscribed upon the imbedded
slate slab of one of these monuments,
while the slab testimony to the station
and worth of the occupant of the second
tombhas for years been missing from
its resting place. The matter has puz-
zled the antiquarian, who has sur-
mised and guessed as to the sleeper
beneath the unmarked granite, but
only surmised and guessed.

An indefatigable search was insti-
tuted for the slab, and at last discovery

of the long lost record has been made.
The slate has been clandestinely taken
from the table monument and buried
about one-half mile distant from the
graveyard. It has been broken in sev-
eral pieces, but is sufficiently intact to
admit of quite a correct copy-reproduc-
tion, which a descendant of the tomb’s
occupant, Joseph St.John, from whom
descended the two Norwalk Stephen
and. Moses ShJohn family branches,
has instructed a citizen of Norwalk
to prepare and have put in place.
Estimated Population.

In the estimate of the death rate per
1,000 inhabitants in the July Bulletin of
the state board of health, Secretary
Lindsley gives a new estimate of the
population of the state passed on the
returns made by town clerks, which is
placed at 812,843. .

The population of New Haven is
placed at 100,000, that of Hartford at
60,000, Bridgeport at 58,243, Waterbury
at 38,000, Meriden at 28, 500, Norwich
at 24,200, New, Britain at 22,000, Dan-
bury, at 19,868, Norwalk at 19, 820,

Satolli on the saloon.

Mgr. Satolli, the Apostolic Delegate,
has just rendered adecision condemning
the liquor traffic, especially as it is car-
ried on in the United States, and ap
proving the eXpulsion of liquor dealers
from Catholic societies. This decision
was called forth by an appeal from the
ruling of Bishop Watterson of Colum-
bus, 0. In the last lenten season
Bishop Watterson, who is one of the
most ardent temperance reformers in

the Roman Catholic Church,addressed a

letter to the clergy of his diocese to be
read before their several congregations.

The letter dealt wholly with the,

temperance problem.

, Pawned the Bicycles.

A certain young man living in this
city has gotten himself into trouble
from which it will be no easy matter
for him to extricate himself. .He seems
to have doveloaed a mania for pawning

bicycles which did not belong to him.»

Some days since he purchased a wheel
of H. R. Buckley on installments and
as has since been learned, 'pawned it at
a Bridgeport pawn shop, and he also
managed to secure another wheel by
deliberate lying, from the same party,
which went the way of the first wheel,
He then rented a wheel of C. Ford See-
ley which also found its way, with the
young man’s help, to a pawn shop. He
then paid his respects to Wheeler &
Hanford and secured a bicycle which
went the way of the others. The wheel

. that led to the discovery of the young

man’s misdoings was found in the pawn
81109 by 3 Bridgeport officer who was
in search of a stolen‘b‘icycle belonging
to another party. Each of the victim-
ized dealers have placed their claims in
the hands of attorneys and will demand
full reparation.
Found Guilty.

John Clougherty and Michael Whalen
who engaged in a fight on Main street
Monday morning, were given a hearing
before Justice Austin. Whalen plead
guilty to being intoxicated and was
fined $7 and costs which he paid.

drunkenness and sentenced to 30 days
in jail for breach of the peace. He took
an appeal to the Superior CourtpPat-
rick Carney becoming surety in the

Entirely on Her Merits.

LONDON; July 19. —Tho following is
taken from The Times report of yester-
dayls yacht race:

“There was too much wind for the Bri.
tannin to show to full advantage and just
enough for the Vigilant to do so. The
latter. in fact, had her day and came
through it with flying colors, her first vic-
tory in British waters being gained in ir-
reproachablo style. There were passing
squalls of wind and rain during the day,
but the gusts were at no time so trying as
they were on the previous day. The race

proved beyond doubt that the Vigilant is

more than the Britannia’ sequel in a fresh

wind on every point of sailing. It must .

be remembered, however, that yesterday's
race was quite a smooth water trial. It
remains to be seen whether the Vigilant
will be able to beat the Britannia in a
head sea. This, on the face of the Valky-
rie' s performance in the last race of the
America’ s cup series, appears to be doubt.
ful. It was in every particular a reliable
hard wind speed trial, and the Vigilltnt’s
victory was no surprise to the people who
have closely watched her performances
here. ”

' The Standard says that the Vigilant’s
victory was well deserved and was gained
without the shadow of a fluke.

The News says that the race was won
by the Vigilant on its merits. The Bri-
tannla’ 5 success, it adds, has been most
encouraging, but it needs to be confirmed
by a series of victories in American waters.
She will do Well to make the best of her
opportunity while it lasts. Honors of this
sort are commonly short lived, and in
yacht racing the Americans have a posi-
tive gift for surprises.

DANISH PLAYERS VINDICATED.

The Burgomuter Who Expelled Them
From Sleswlck Dismissed.

COPENHAGEN, July 19.—-The Danish
government has obtained satisfaction for
the expulsion from Sleswick, Germany,
of the eight Danish players belonging to
the Royal theater at Copenhagen. The
players were arrested at Hadersleben,
Sleswlck, early in June, under instruc-
tions from the burgomaster of that place,

, 'who claimed that there was a prohibition

against the use of the Danish language in
Sleswlok. The actors and actresses were
ordered to leave and went to Ribe, across
the frontier in Denmark, where they were
warmly received when the facts of their
expulsion became known.

The Danish government called the at-
tention of the government of Germany to
the action of the burgomaster of Haders-
leben, and after the matter had been in-
quired into the burgomaster was dismiss-
ed in disgrace. It has been learned that
there was formerly a - prohibition against
the use of the Danish language in Sles-
wick, but the order had been withdrawn.
