‘ A WestpOrt gentleman who is a large

g‘ivésfnis view regarding their reSpec-

the most sensational, the Sun is the
abiest, the Tribune is the cleanest, the
Morning Journal is the, dirtiest, the
‘ Press is the most partisan, the Evening
Post is the most despicable and the
Times is not worth mentioning.”
First Fruits l
The esteemed Sentinel will rejoice
with us to know that President Hill’s
resolve to duly recognize‘éouth Nor-
walk on his street cars, gets its first re-
ward to-day, via Washington. The
Courant’s Capitol correspondent tele-
graphs the following:
“Christopher F.Brooker of Torrington, is
in town for the day. He called on Senator
Platt and others. He thinks'it is probable
that E. J. Hill of Norwalk, will be the candi-
date for Congress in the Fourth District. ‘and
if he is,’ he added, ‘he certainly ought to be
able to beat Mr. DeForest,’ ”
Who Will be Judge? '
There is a strongprobabilily that a
city court will supplant our wobbly
Justice Of the Peace system before the
fire-crackers pop again. The Judge-
ship is now the burning question among
the lawyers and others. The autocrat
Of the Hour ofiice is already convinced
of the fitness Of B. W. Maples'for that
position, while the local Bar will prob-
ably selectone of its needy members.
With this squabble on its hands the
city will be “between the devil and the
deep blue ,sefag’: Of course the GA:
ZETTE in such}. sduabble will stand by
the presscandidate.

Amazing Speed.
For the first time in the history of
transatlantic’t’i‘hiIel .a steamship leav-
ing LiverpOOl on Saturday has landed
her passengers in‘ New. York on the
following Friday. This astonishing
record was made by the Campania, now
at her dock in New York. No vessel
can pass Quarantine after sunset. The
Campania had eight minutes to spare
when she reached that point, but ’twas
enough, and she got to her dock in
time to let her passengers sleep on land
on the seventh night after leaving the
other side. The time Of the passage
5 days, 9 hours and 29 minutes was un-
precedented. This gives the Campania
the record in both directions, and
justly entitles her to be called the
Queen Of the Atlantic, with Newsman
Hayes the Norwalk agent.

The Sugar Bounty.
Under the tariff lawzas it stpod in the
spring there was a bounty of two cents
a pound on sugar raised in this coun-
try. The law specifically agreed that
this should be paid every year from
1891 to 1905. Under this agreement-
contract with the government it really
was—the planters Of sugar in Louis-
ianna and of beets in the West started
large crops last spring. They did their
part, but now, in the middle of August,
after those planters have earned a large
part of the promised bounty, Congress
suddenly repeals the law. The planters
have nothing to do but submit, but ‘the
fact stands that the promise of the gov-
ernment, under which they set out
their crops, has been directly violated.
It .is a miserably mean performance,
a plain, glaring breach of faith. '
Something Wrong.
The Vigilant appears through the
telescope of the cable a good deal out
Of sorts. Yesterday she was to have
had what we have been waiting for, a
race to windward and return over an
open course. This is the only fair test
of racing yachts. It isn’t whirling
about and changing leg every five min-
utes, to show how fast a boat could
work her way up a canal, ‘but a fair
chance to sail and decide which boat!
has the more speed at sailing, but alas,
since the lamentable and historic occa-
sion when the rabbit was not caught by
the little dog, there has been no race
for glory, laurels or blood, which has
seemed to need so much explanation as
the races in which the Vigilant has been
competing with the Brittannia, and as
all the explanations that have yet been
seen, succeed perfectly in proving that
Brittannia has been sailed better, has
been in her own water and has gone
through it faster, the expositors had
better... take into account the peculiar
business methods of the Goulds; which
may have been carried across the ocean

Wants to Compromise.
We fear the esteemed Sentinel will
get itself classed with the “Wicked and
perverse generation that seeks for a
sign,” unless it lets upon the street earl
directory subject. 'It ,nQWLPIOPPBGSQQ
compromise us. followszg; ' * _, -.—..
-_ fit-Why wonldnltiit be good-policy and remove
all dissatisfaction for the Street Railway com;
‘Direct to N. Y., N. H., 6:, H. R. R.,’ the words
‘South Norwalk.’ " '
There certainly can be no serious-ob.
jection to this plan, especially if "it will
«serve as a balm "to the iacerated feelings
of..o.ur_ esteemed but over— sensitive con-
temporary. To do this, hOWever, would
necessitate the, putting of the words
“South Norwaik”, in very‘smalHetters
in aline under the present words on
the sign, and would not the jokers and
scofi'ers then say, that it only belittled
and made South Norwalk‘look a great
deal smaller than its size .and import-
ance really justified?.
.The esteemed Sentinel further re-
marks : . .
“It isn’t a great matter, to ._be sure. but it is
sufficient to cause a bad feeling, and asiit can
be so easily removed, why not do it ? The fact
of dissatisfaction is manifest. The disposition
to remove the dissatisfaction is not. We ad-
vise the exhibition of this disposition at the
earliest convenience. Then all cause for com-
plaintand cavil is removed.” V _
The anxious, waiting, public would be
glad to know who these victims suffer-
ing so seriously from “manifest dissat-
isfaction” are. As Artemus Ward mild-
ly said to the bore who with much
amazement demanded to know if he
had hever heard Of a man called Adam.
“Adam, Adam, let’s see, believe I once
did hear such a person mentioned, but
let’s have his first name please, so as to
avoid mistakes.”

Since the above was in type President
Hill tells us the coon will come down,
and Capt. Scott of the Sentinel needn’t
shoot again. He has ordered “South”
in the biggest kind of letters to be
put on the offending signs, and across
the ridge-pole Of his cars, like the dor-
sal fin on a sturgeon’s back, he will
have a long sign-board emblazoned
with “Direct .to the N. Y. & N. H. De-
pot. SO, “All’s well that ends well;”
and now if .. the esteemed Sentinel
doesn’t “whoop’er up” for Hill for
Congress—it’s ungrateful, that’s all.
More Politics impending.
, EDITOR GAzETrnz—In about five
,weeks we shall be called upon to nomi-
nate a City ticket. In the interests Of
good government and low taxes, the
following “Low Tax” ticket is suggest-
ed: Mayor, Isaac Selleck; councilmen,
W. S. Moody, A C. Arnold, Frank
Beers,“Burr Smith, William McMullen
and Edward Merrill. All of these gen-
tlemen are known for their keen and
intelligent interest in an economical
administration of public affairs and
their advocacy of low taxesand pru-
dent management. Whether this tick-
et will meet with any favor or not, it
would be difficult to make a better com-
bination of men whose voices and votes
have always been on the side 'Of econo-
my. ‘ ' REFORM.
The Problem Solved.
President Hill of the NOrwalk Street
Railway Company told a GAZETTE re-
porter, Monday afternoon, that he had
.decided to replace the sign “Direct to
the N. Y. & N. H. Depot,” with one
bearing the inscription “To the City of
South Norwalk.” The former signs
will be placed in permanent positions
on top of the cars. And now let us
have peace, with three cheers and a
nflofiiination to Congress for President

by the court in favor of the plaintiffs

issued by the court enjoining the de-

Thrown in a Creek.
A press dispatch from 'Far Rockaway,
L. 1., dated the 20th,'says: A. Koeh-
lot of South Norwalk, appeared in the
village about 3 o’clock this morning,
badly battered, with his clothing torn
and soaked with water.
he had been attacked th night before;
while on his way to Ron away Beach
by two hackmen, who beat and robbed
him, and finally threw him Off a bridge
into Norton’s Creek.
According, to his story, Koehler had
been spending the day in Far Rocka-
way, and at night started to walk to
Rockaway Beach. On the way he was
overtaken by two hackmen, who invited
him to get in their hack and ride.
When they reached a lonely spot, Koeh-
lcr asserts, the two men set upon and
robbed him. They got 340, all the
money he had. On descriptions fur-
nished by Koehler this afternoon, Po-
liceman Ryan arrested Hack Drivers
John Mulligan and Patrick Joyce.
They are accused Of highway robbery.
‘ Hld‘in a Swamp.
As stated in these columns yesterday,
(emclusively,/as the Sentinel would re-
mark unde'r the same conditions.) the
saloon of James H. O’Reilley was bur-
glarized Saturday night. Suspicion
pointed to the two Cook boys, a man
named Riley, another named Grantley
and a man named Corcorau as the guil-
ty parties. The latter was arrested on
Monday and placed in the station~house,
but refused to peach on his compan-
ions. This morning Chief Bradley,
Constable Lockwood and two other
gentlemen armed with warrants for the
arrest of the parties named, drove to
Cobble Hill, but as they sighted their
men they were seen to make for a
swamp near by and all efforts to hunt
them out proved unavailing. It is only
a question of time, however, before
they will be landed in the station-house.

Another Attachment.
this morning, placed an attachment on
the Spillane saloon on Main street, for
$100 to cover a claim of $38 for cigars.
Landlord Joseph Matheis also has an
attachment on the saloon to recover
$80 for rent. Lalley, the Bridgeport
li uor dealer, is said to have a bill of
stile for the saloon, and is negotiating‘a
settlement with Matheis. It is reported
that a government official is after Spil-
lane for having done business without a
United States license. Spillane’sfriends
claim that they do not know his where-

Several Thousand Cotton Operatives Quit
“fork In New Bedford. .
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. 21.—Today
the cotton operatives began their general
strike, and nearly 11,000 are idle.
mill: in the city is ,in motion, and it is
thought that these mills will soon-be shut
down with the others.
The manufacturers have little or noth-
ing to say, but the notices ofa reduction,
against which the help rebel, are still
posted. ‘ '
Secretary Ross of one spinners' .union'
stated this morning that the members of
his union are lined up for a long struggle
and confidently expected that it would be
of six months’ duration. '
The strike promises to he the most im-
portant which ever occurred in the. textile
industry in Massachusetts. The manufac-
turers xmust fight perfectly orgmized ‘
unions, some of which are fairly wealthy.
. Notable in this particular is the Spinners’
union, which lias'a fund in its treasury
aggregating at least $30,000. The spin-
ners have voted, however, not to touch
any‘of this money for a month. Until
yesterday it was hoped that the strike
would be averted.
The situation in New Bedford is quite
different from that in Fall River. In the
latter city print cloths are manufactured
for the most part, and there is a. large
stock of goods on hand. Here, however,
the mills manufacture a finer grade of
goods, and some of them have orders
which would keep the mills busy for sev-
eral months. ”
A conference developed a new feature,
which, the operatives say, reveals the plans
of the manufacturers with relation to the
impending struggle.
It had hitherto been supposed that, in-
asmuch as the Spinners’ union was much
stronger than the wcavcrs’ organization,
the manufacturers would enter to the
spinners in the reduction and conclliute
them if possible. _ '
Every mill posted its reduction schedule
on Saturday, and they were compared by ,
