Undoubtedly The Best Man.
Mr. Robert Van Buren. is being
strongly urged for water commissioner.
If he will accept, the City Council need
lOok no further. He is unquestionably
the very best man for the place.

Wants to be Water Commissioner.
The GAZETTE is informed that the
Hour editor is desirous of being ap-
pointed Water Commissioner to serve
out the unexpired term of Dr. Cool-’
idgc. Had he not better pay his old
water tax first?
Norwaik Still Solvent.
The official statements of our Nor-
walk banks, published last month,
showed that there were on deposit and
subject to check in our five national
banks, the enormous amount of “cash
on hand” of nearly one million dollars!
In Norwalk’s three savings banks,
there is a total of the still more pro-
digious sum of four millions of dollars!
So we guess that whatever betide in
Hartford or Washington legislation,
Norwalk will be able to survive until
the opening of the coming spring,
when all the indications seem to prom-
ise a revival of our former prosperous
business condition.
O.
A Merchant's View of it.
While political demagoguss and: vis-
ionaries are spouting idle wind and
chopping vain logic over the tarifi“,
greatly to the disturbance and alarm of
industrious business folk, the mer-
chants and manufacturers of the coun-
try are discussing the situation in a
vein of sober, common sense. Among
these, Mr. John Claflin, of New Yerk,’
has just spoken, through the medium
of a communication to the Herald,_ and
as it seems to us, with peculiar ferce .
and eloquence. His letter is rather
lengthy, but we quote what he says as
to the effect Of tariff agitation. ‘
“Importations of foreign merchan-
dise will be larger next spring than if
the old tariff were in force. This will
mean smaller sales of domestic goods,
diminished American manufactures and
less wages to operatives than in 1892-.
But all these conditions have been dis-
counted in conditions now prevailing.
If factories can run without serious loss
they Will not stand idle. By and by
an increasing demand for workmen Wlll
lessen the number of the unemployed,
and the future will look decidedly
brighter.”
It seems reasonable to hope that the
same forces in the Senate which last
summer saved the country from the
original Wilson bill may be relied upon
to prevent any further folly and mis-
chief during the last- of the Fifty-third
Congress. If at any time while they
were holding back the tide of improvi-
deuce and calamity they questioned
the intelligent sympathy and approval
of the American people—something
quite unlikely, we should think—they
“Ill at least feel sure of it now in the
light of the rebuke which has just been
administered to the prophets of agita-
tiofl.

Sherwood in a charming duet. Deacon
J. R. Marvin then delighted the parish-
ioners by stating that the entire church
debt had been paid and congratulating
Dr. Noble on the cilicient work done
during his pastorate. Mr. Marvin was
followed by Col. F. St. John Lockwood,

Could “ Lick” Sullivan.
A man named Murphy visited Fahan’s
saloon on Main street, this morning.
He seemed to be considerably “under
the weather.” After taking a drink or
two he became boisterous and wanted
to fight and clung to the hallucination
that he could “lick Sullivan or any
other man.” Later Chief Bradley clung
to him and started for the station house.
When in front of Ratchl'ord’s saloon he
said down and refused to go any fur-'
lllel‘. lle was promptly bundled into
“ Gus ” Martin’s express wagon and

of liquor, is a faithful employee.

A Boom for Norwaik.
In the make up of the committees a
very funny coincidence has happened
in Fairlie-id county. It appears that
the senate chairman of the committee
on banks is Senator Ferris of NorWalk,
and the house chairman on the same
committee is Representative Keeler of
Norwalk. It also turns out that on the
committee on finance, Senator Louns-
bury of Ridgefield, whose place of
business is in the City of Norwalk is
the senate chairman and Representa-
tive Rowan of Norwalk is the house
chairman. Does this mean a boom in
the money market for a “Greater Nor-
walk ?"———Bridgeport News.
