TheLast Veteran Hero.
Sixty years, from today, says the
Washington Post, it may be, in some
great. cemetery of the nation’s dead, or
haply within some quiet churchyard,
will be reared a mound of flowers over
the grave of.the last survivor of the
civil war. . For, though he be a stranger
among strangers, a waif upon the shore
left by the receding tide, with not a
comrade to bear him company, he will
not be unbefriended. - There will be
. sons of veterans, grandsons of veterans,
daughters and grand daughters of vet-
erans to guard his declining footsteps,
to smooth his dying moments, sublimer
far than those of Napoleon at St. Helena
to write his wondrous epitaph and over
his ashes build a fitting monument.
Yes, Fully Time.
Editbr Rodemeyer gives evidence of
stalwart geod sense in propounding this
self answering question: .
‘ ‘Isn’t it about time the two Norwalks
considered seriously the advisability of
consolidating into The Greater Nor-
walk?”
Cau there be anything more {abso-
lutely childish and even ludicrous in
municipal matters than the existence
of two cities in the same town and
within a stone’s throw of each other?
The two cities of Norwalk, adjoining
each other and separated only by a line
run arbitrarily between them, are the
derision of the state and all sensible
people. There should be but one city
here and that city should be Nonwank,
without prefixes or affixes. Winnipauk,
Silver Mine, Broad River, West Nor-
walk, Cranberry Plains, East Norwalk,
South Norwalk and Five Mile River,
should all be within one city circum-
ference and the different hamlets di-
vided up into wards, according to pop-
ulation. Thus NORWALK would be a
city of large population, of magnitude
and importance and not as now, a cou-s
ple of insignificant fly specks on the
map of Connecticut. The charter of
the to be Norwalk should cover the en-
ire town limits as most rural cities in
New York state do.
spreads over the entire county and a’
pro rata tax for lights, fire engines and

Plain Truths About the Tariff.
So able and-fearless a democrat as
Col. McClure rises to say that the first
great necessity of the country is to
have the tarifl‘ issue settled. The MC?
Kinley bill would be better than 'the‘
present condition of uncertainty.
The .Democratic leaders should un-
derstand that if this season shall close
without tariff legislation there can be
no tariff reform during the present
Congress, and the Democratic party
will not soon again be entrusted with
the power of legislating for the nation.
There was no one issue so distinctly
presented to the American people, and
so clearly decided by them, as the issue
of tariff reform; and it was discussed
in all its details before the people dur-
ing the campaign by the very men who
are now higgling in the Smate and
House to protect certain local interests
they happen to represent. Mr.,.,Gor-
man did not demand in the campaign
that coal should be protected ; Mr.
Smith did not demand that iron ore
should be protected; Mr. Murphy did
not demand that collars and ends
“109,153 be protected, nor did the Louiv
siana Senators demand high protection
for sugar. All of them urged the adap-
tion of a revenue tariff and none mis-
understand what a revenue tariff meant.
If this session of Congress shall fail
to pass a tariff reform bill it will simply
be notice to the world of the utter fail-
ure of the Democratic party to carry
outjts own pledges to the people when
full power had been conferred upon it.
It would not only defeat the Democracy
in all the Northern States at the next
November election, and probably over-
throw their supremacy in several South-
ern States, but it would make their de-
feat in ’96 an absolute certainty. The
judgement of the people would be that
ths Democratic party is utterly unfitted
to rule the Republic and it would be
dismissed from authority for incompe-
tency. '
There is yet one chance for the Den-
ocratic leaders to rescue their party
from annihilation and to end the busi-
ness uncertainty that now paralyzes the
country. Commerce, industry and
trade would be quickened at once if a
new tariff bill were passed and it would
be of- little consequence whether the
Senate or House hill *1? adopted.
There is growing confidence in all busi.
ness circles that business must speedily -- .
improve whenever the tariff dispute _
shall have been settled. A new tariff",
would revive’industry, and trade; defeat
of the bill must continue the “piesent
sore paralysis that is halting the ener-
gies of the people, and they would just-

Reporters’ Outing. . .
Tuesday afternoon, on the invnation
of His Honor Mayor Edwm O. Keeler,
to partake of clam chowder at Roton
Point, five city connoil reporters—B.
C. Feeney, E. J. Thomas, Edward Sis-
serson, Willis Crowe and the writer—
boarded_.the 5:20 trolley car for the
Point, they occupying a front pew of
the car. .
As the car was speeding down‘East
avenue, Reporters Feeney and Crowe
became frightened and scrambled over
the pews and sat down in the pew at the
rear end of the car. They aver that
they made the change not because of
fright but to make the ride last longer.
' ‘he ride down was exhilerating but
uneventful until the curve at the corner
of Meadow street was reached when a
little tot ran out and stood in the mid-
dle of the tracks. ' he motor
“kicked” and kicked he danger gong,
but that only seemed to fascmate the
child, and the car was stopped. At this
moment a woman ran out from a yard
near by and grabbing up the youngster
scooted out of sight, not even remagn-
ing long enough for the our to ‘fjust
graze her dress as it dashed by,” and
thus spoiling a good item:
Arriving at the Point the party of
pencil pushers were met by his honor
the Mayor, and escorted to the hotel
dining room, and were soon seated at a
table in the center of the room.
There was not a very largenumber
of people at the Point at the time, but
this fact was not to be regretted as it
left so much more _of the invigorating
air to be inhaled by the few. it was
incidentally stated by a man of well
known honor and veracity that one of
the Iron Steamboats brought up a brass
band and nearly 1,000 people in the
afternoon,-all anxious to give the‘re-
porters an ovation, but that shortly be.
fore their arrival the captain of the
steamer received a telegram from the
owners of the craft telling him to bring
it back to New York, which he reluct-
antly did and with many regrets at the
disappointment the Point was depopu—
lated to the extent of 900 persons.
Without loss of time chowder was
served, washed down with what was
alleged to be water, but it had no re-
semblance to the fluid furnished by the
twin cities, and called water. It was
water, however, and came from the
cold corner of an artesmn well on the
premises. .
The chowder was followed by roast
clams-"rare, medium and roasted—and
there was an abundance of them.
When the waiter came to remove the
“shucks” he visibly paled when he
reached Reporter Thomas’ place at the
table and viewed the mountain of shells
in front of him, but when he came to
Reporter Feeney’s clam-coats he nearly
fainted. . _
Considerable time was of a necess1i~y
spent in. removing the clam coffins. the
'v’ioccupantsmf which had been washed
down the gullets of the reporters Wlth'
Rhine wine. .
Then came baked blue-fish and Side
dishes of potatoes fxi
on a farm in West orwalk, and as
sweet as new mown hay. During the
eating of this course considerable claret
wine was spilled but none of it went to
waste—or rather did go to waist.
Then followed fried crabs and salads
with champagne, all of which received
deserved attention. .
The feast ended with coffee in “deep
mourning” and the finest Cigars that
ever came to this port. _ .
» During the feast matters pertaining
to the consolidation of the thn Cities,
the need of a new hotel, etc., were dis-
cussed, interlarded with bright stories
by the Mayor and ghost yarns by
Messrs. Crowe, Sisserson, Thomas and
Feeney.
The health of Mayor Keeler was
drank and it was the decided bel1ef of
the scribes that as an entertainer the
Mayor was not to be discounted.
As the party walked down the steps
leading to the hotel the lamps about
the grounds and pavilion were lighted,
and every car brought heavy loads of
passengers, but the reporters bashiully
sought a retired seat and had a short
talk with the sad sea waves after which
they boarded a car with Charley Par-
melee in the pilot house, and arrived
home about 9 o’clock. _
It was one of the best if not the best
outing ever enjoyed by the scribes and
will be long and pleasantly remem-
bered, as will also Mayor Keeler for his
kindness and liberality. .

Saloons On Wheels.
Because of the fact that they sent wa-
gone to Westport from which beer was
peddled to residents of that town, two
Bridgeport men have, been arrested by
Sheriff Fenelon. One has been tried
and the other has furnished a bond for
trial on Friday. The arrests are the re-
sult of complaints made by estport
people to Prosecuting Agent J. D.
Toomey.
For some time past two wa’ns laden
with bottled beer have made almost
daily visits to Westport. It is' claimed
that they did not go to deliver oods
that had been previously ordere , but
to sell in varying (mantities to all who
wanted to buy. The former they have
a legitimate right to do if licensed, as
the bottler’s license gives its holder the
right to deliver ordered ‘ goods at any
place in the state.
The Westport saloon en knew that
a similar scheme had b en wbI-ked in
Fairfleld, for the Italian laborers when
quartered there were visited frequently
by peddlers from Bridgeport. At the
time the Prosecuting Liquor agent was
complained toand the men running the
wagons arrested and fined. The West-
port men decided to follow out a similar
line of action. Their business was be—
ing affected to quite a degree by the
traffic.
The prisoner was taken before Justice
who found him guilty and fined him $25
and costs. He took an appeal. ‘
. Harry Hoja was also arrested charged
with the same offence. Hoja runs a sa-
loon at Bridgeport, but, it is asserted, .
has been sending a. wagon to Westport,
for some time. He was taken before
Justice Cullinan and gave , a bond of
$100 to appear for trial Friday.

,, Ah Efficient OfficerJ
gUnited, Statesgflarshal, Emory F.
Strong of Bridgeport, completes his
term in that oflicéstlie latter part of this
wéek. ' He was appointed fer a term of
four years on August 4, 1890.. His suc-
cessor, as announced yesterday in_ this
paper, will be Richard C. Morris of
New London?.‘
United States Marshal Strong has
made a most efficient officer, and can
retire with the gratifyin thought-that
he has in every sense one his duty;
He is popular “with United states court
officials and lawyers all over the state,-
and his treatment of prisoners has been
such that he has won from many who
are not hardened criminals, but who
have had the misfortune to fall into the
clutches of the law, the highest respect.
A singular fact is, that during his en—
tire term, Marshal Strong has never
carried a “shooter,” or a pair of hand-
cuffs, and he has not lost a prisoner, al-
though he has handled some pretty
touch cases. .
Mix Strong’s rame has been promi-
nently mentioned as a possible candi-
date for sheriff of Fairfield county.

Handicapped the Old Man.
For some infringement of the house-
hold rillt s the other day, Farmer Joseph
Hegeman of Northport, laid his eigh-
tecn-year-old daughter Rosina across
his knee and spanked her soundly.‘1‘hen
he sent her weeping to her room.
Rosina didn’t like this method of pun-
ishment, and she told lover, Charles
Hesseman, who is employed in one of
the village bakeries. She escaped from
the house and she lost no time in get-
ting to New York. On her return Papa
Hegeman attempted to repeat the spank
ing. Just as he was about to begin op-
erations in popped young Hesseman.
He waved a marriage certificate under
the nose of the old man and warned him
to withhold his upraised hand.
Farmer Hegeman was amazed. The
bride slipped ofl his knee and clung .to
her young husband. The farmer dec1d-
ed that it would not be well for him to
repeat the spanking, and the ‘young
couple departed. All the parties are
quite well known to visitors from this
city to Northport.

'.Working for a Pardon.
A number of people in Stamford are
working for the release of Patrick E,
Morrisey of that city from the Massa-
chusetts stateprison,where he is serving
out a fourteen years’ sentence for man-
slaughter. M-orrisey has already spent
seven years in prison. Those who are
working in the prisoner’s behalf have
presented a long petition to Governor
Greenhalge asking for his release and
there are strong hopes that their re-
quest for a pardon will be granted by
the governor. Morrisey was conv1cted
in North Adams, Mass, for killing a
man in a saloon fight. '
A Cool Wave Coming.» - -.
A cool wave is moving eastward but
it will be followed by a hotter one than
ever. July has beaten all records in
the heat line and let us rejoice that the
month is at an end. She killed sweet
little children every day of her brief
reign and made other fearful impres-
sions that will last as long as memory
lives. Nobody will want her back
again.
July had no mercy, she was cruel,
destructive, deadly, and now that she
is gone none will mourn her. ’
Always Obey.
Vice President Hall of the Consoli-
dated railroad was ia Bridgeport Tues-
day. When asked by a reporter what
the Consolidated road would do in case
the common council of Bridgeport
passed an ordinance limiting the speed
of trains through that city to three
miles an hour, he replied :
“We will obey it. The Consolidated
always obeys the laws.”

Feeling runs high between .two factibns,

other upholding Arthur M. Oakley who
was recently deposed from the princi-
palship of the Southport central school.
The trouble is all due to thesystem
of examining school teachers, intro-

some of the teachers didn’t pass and
among them was Miss Alice Jennings
who created such a time that she and
