The Day is for Samuel.
The new London Day thus sums up
the case for H‘On. Samuel Fessenden in
the matter of the speakership. The
Day more than supplements the Cour-
ant’s lack of interest in the success
Of the man who sent its Editor to the
U. S. Senate for the third time:—
“l‘he Day is of Opinion that if Mr.
Fessenden wishes thet‘ofiice of Speaker
it will be, when all the reasons come to
be considered, accorded to him without
serious Opposition. If gallant service
during the war, if long and faithful
devotion to the party in the time of
peace, if conspicuous ability, if un-
blemished character, if universal popu-
larity, if a pro-eminent fitness for the
position, entitle any man to the princi.
pal office within the gift of the Gen-
eral Assembly, The Day is' of opinion
that the one man in the state of Con-
necticut, from GreenWich to Rhodells-
land line, who of all Others unites
those claims to the speakership, is ,Sam-
uel Fessenden of Stamford.
_ A Credltable Move.
Our city assessors are out personally
viewing property in the different sec-
tions of the city, with a view to equal-
izing and making as uniform as possible
the respective valuations bf properties,
so that their assessments shall reach as
absolute fairness and equity as is pos-
sible. These assessors, Messrs. Charles
N. Wood and C. B. Coolidge, are in-
, telligent and fair minded men and
their subject is a most commendable
one. The coming Legislature ought to
change the terms of our boards of
assessors, so as to have one old mem-
ber go out and one new'man‘go in
every year, so that after the first two
years the full term of service of an
assessor shall be three years, with the
power of re-electing any member of
such board, for meritorious and con-
spicuously useful service. As the law
now is, our boards of assessors and
Boards of Relief are elected annually
and new men are generally called to
the difficult and responsible duty, with-
out- previous experience and too Often,
Without fitness for the office.
Yes i Why Not ?
TheGAZETTE is interrogated to know
why some public demonstration is not
made by his fellow citizens, in honor
of the phenomenal majority of the Hon.
E J. HILL in his election to Congress?
It is mentioned that when the late
Senator Ferry was elected, a big/levee
was held here in his honor. 'When Col.
F. St. John Lockwood was elected
State Bank Commissioner, the Old Nor-
walk Hotel dining room was made
vocal with speech, song and story.
Later, when Cashier W. A. Curtis re-
ceived a call to a Chicago National
Bank, the same dining hall resounded
with the cheers and rejoicings of his
delig ted fellow townsmen. .
Again, when the late James W.
Hyatt was selected by President Cleve-
land for United States Treasurer, the
ceiling of that same old banquet hall
was fairly lifted by the vociferous
plaudits, of the revelers. Now, Gov-
ernor elect Coffin, Congressmen elect
Sperry and Henry have been thus
publicly honored and why not a big
gathering here, with or without a big
supper, but with abig “feast of reason
and flow of soul,” with Dr. Depew, or
some other delightful and delighting
story teller to help Norwalk “Whoop-
’ersup for Hill.”

_——____.._Q. .
Struck by a Trolley Car.
Theodore Stone had a narrow escape
this morning from being killed by a
trolley car on the Street Railway line,
and with no one at fault but himself.
He had been to South Norwalk and
was returning on Conductor Williams’
car, to his home on Mott avenue. He
stepped from the car at the Methodist
church and ran around the car to cross
the tracks and stepped almost directly
in front of a down car in charge of
Motorman Tuck.
The front guard of the platform of
the car struck Stone, knocking him
down and he was thrown under the
platform, but had presence of mind
enough to grab hold of the Wheel-
guards and was shoved along by the
same for a short distance.
Motorman Tuck when he saw the
man, immediately reversed the motor
lever and the car came to a stop with
such a suddenness the occupants of the
car were thrown from their seats.
Stone was drawn from his perilous
position, and to the surpisc of all, as
well as to Stone himself. it, was found
that he had escaped with scarcely a
scratch of any kind and he yet marvels
at the fact. He proceeded to his home
and in a short time after was back at
his work. ,
The car which struck him was the
7:06 from Winnipauk. No blame is at-
tached to Motorman Tuck. In fact he
is commended for his promptness in
stopping the car as quickly as he did.
And the “victim” himself feels free to
say. “He certainly saved my life.
The accident was the result of my own
carelessness. ~
This is we believe, the first accident
of the kind on this line.
———-—————<+
He Made It.
Monday’s Sentinel prints an item to
the effect that while M. M. Norton was
looking for a_break in the South Nor-
walk water pipe on Riverside avenue,
“he found that it was in the rotten pipe
of the city of Norwalk.” Mr. Camp of
the Norwalk company says that the
truth of the matter is the break was
made by one of the math theemploy
of Norton With a crowbar, while dig-
ging to the South Norwalk pipe, and
asserts that Mr. Norton so admitted.
