Was Adrhlral walker Right.
This was a fiercely debated question
twO or three weeks ago. TO-day it is
not a question of any ‘kind, debatable
or otherw1sc. Events have vindicated
Admiral Walker’s conclusions and
prognosticatious. They- have shown
that he conducted his investigatiops
with intelligence and {spoke the truth
with courage and fidelity. He saw
what Blount and Willis could not or
would not see, and warned his govern-
ment in ample time of the tragedy that
has now occurred. '
But what will the countrysay ? That
is the question. What willfthe Ameri-
can people conclude as to the accuracy
of Admiral Walker’s statements, the
urgency of his warning, and the wis-
dom of the policy which ignored his
clear, explicit, and forcible recommed—
ations ? Was Admiral Walker right or
was he not? 7 .
The Brooklyn Strl-kfe‘i.’
It would have been much better had
the striking trolley men and their
employers in Brooklyn settled their
own differences, but as neither side
approached a possible comprOmise
wrth the proper spirit the trouble has
taken on a serious aspect, and now the
military will takea hand. It'i's-‘the oft
repeated story.‘ If the parties to a
strike are not willing to make mutual
concessions the turbulent element“ will
speedily develop, and the State must
interfere in the interest of the
public In repressing lawlessness.”'the
points at issue between contending
parties are likelyto be overlooked and
a settlement forced regardless of. {their
interests. The strike will now b3- belt-
tled, after. a loss to both the compgphies
and their men and vast annoyancejto
the public. There should be a'limdité
rational way to settle Labor difficulties
than this. I » '
Trouble for the Feathered Tribe.
The Mugwumps and the Cuckoos are
having a parlous time among them-
selves just now, says the Washington
Post. They hate both Hill and Gor.
man cordially—hate them for their
courage, their virility, and theiir‘TGOm-
mon sense—but-they are tornby con-
tending emotions in the presence. of a
conflict in which they fear to play even
the jackal’s lowly part. If they could
be quite sure that the muchmlleged
reconciliation between the President
and Merill were genuine, all, doubt
would be swept away at once. We
should see them wagging their eager
tails for Mr. Hill and snappingfiercely,
if cautiously, at the Maryland Sena-
tor’s heels. They would forget their
rancor for the time. 'But they cannot
be sure. They have not yet interpreted
that plate of soup to their entire satis-
faction, and they are bewildered and
unhappy. I ‘ "‘
Under ordinary circumstances the
Mugwumps and Cuckoos would fall
upon both combatants with rancorous
impartiality. For bothfthey cherish in
their secret hearts a furious and undy-
ing animosity. But, just: as in 1832
they were ready to fo'regather with
Tammany, or, for that‘mattcr, with the
very devil himself, to serve their pur-
pose Of the moment, so now, if they
could use Hill as an ally: for the dos-
traction of one dreaded foe, they
would make the combination with pious
zeal, trusting to some future opportu-
nity to betray and rend him. ‘And
right there looms the black corroding
doubt, the hideous uncertainty. Can
Ilill be used to day, to be undone in
turn to-morrow? Great Scotti but
this is hard. . ‘

:Loves the Cause.
During the debate on private pension
bills in the House Of Representatives
on Friday night last, Mr. Talbert, of
South Carolina, obtained the floor. He
spoke in part as follow :
As to the “Lost Cause,” it is the
everlasting cause and cannot be lost,
because it is .the cause Of liberty.
Under the same circumstances, and for
the same reasons the men who fought
then would fight ago-in. You can like
that or you can lump it. I love the
cause today as much as I did when a
boy. I bared my bosom to your bul-
lets on the battlefields of Virginia.
Mr. Talbert’s love for the Southern
Confederacy is only exceeded by his
lack of good breeding. He should be
taken back ,t” South Carolina and:
spanked. ' ' .

"fl‘hé‘ lerarv Needs.
EDIIOB'GAZETTE z—Now that the ex-
citement Of Christmas is over, and the
children in the various Homes and Mis-
sions have all had their tree, and once
more every thing has settled down to
its daily routine, would it not be a good
time to do something for the long suf-
fering subscribers of the Norwalk
Library? It is a good library ; the
shelves are filled with books, new and
old, but how shall these same subscrib-
ers get at them ? It is like putting
before some famished man, of refined
taste, a well-filled table of food, but
giving him neither knives. forks or
plates. It is about ten years since a
catalogue was published, and very
many books—about double—have been
added since that time, and in many in-
stances the old ones have been renumb-
ered. So you can readily seeIthis cata-
logue avails one nothing. A large
number of the subscribers of the li-
brary are women, many invalids, unable
to leave their homes, who would like to
rely upon these books to while away
some weary hours of pain, now shall
they get them or how shall they know
what is there to get? Should they
send their husbands or maids, how can
he or she select for them, not knowing
what they have read or what there is to
read or what they care to read?
Neither can Mr. Mott, obliging as he
always is. All this could be simplified
by a list carefully prepared at home
from a catalogue, and giving but little
trouble to the librarian. For want of
this convenience, subscribers drop out.
The pity Of it, that such a library should
run down, for so small an affair. Sub-
scribers would willingly pay for their
catalogues, rather, surely, many a time
than breast a cutting wind, or venture
upon an icy pavement. Then, after we
have a catalogue, could we not have a
pair of steps, of more than three divis-
ions, for those among us whom. the
Lord has seen fit to make of short
statue. ONE OF THE SUBSCRIBERS.
O
The Soldiers’ Home.
The first meeting Of the new state
soldiers’ hospital board—new because
of the new governor and adjutant-gen-
eral being entitled to meet as members
for the first time—was held at‘the Sol-
diers’ Home at Noroton, Saturday.
There were present Governor Coffin,
General L. A. Dickinson, Surgeon-
General Bowen, and Judge Alfred B.
Beers Of Bridgeport. Adjutant Gener-
al Graham was unable to attend and W.
E. Morgan of New Haven, the other
member of the board, was absent on
account of illness.
Governor Coffin and ‘SurgeonvGen-
eral Bowen were conducted over the
grounds and inspected the buildings,
of which there are now fourteen
separate structures. Both expressed
themselves as much surprised at the
magnitude of the entire establishment
and much gratified at the neat and tidy
appearance of everything. The food
supplied was carefully inspected by
them. There are about 340 inmates, of
whom 46 are in the. hospital, and 30 are
waiting vacancies. The running ex-
penses of the Home are $15,000 or
$16,000 per quarter.
The board spent some time consider-
ing plans for a new brick building,
170x50 feet. two stories high, for'dining
room and kitchen, with rooms above
ing will cost about $18,000.

‘ . p Painted £66395“
Two years ago, during orangépacklng3' ’
time, notwishih’g. to spare 'one Of the men
from work to go'to town every day for
mail, I made. afismall cypress boat‘not
more than ten-feet long. It was’so light
and easy going" that I could cover the dis-
tance of one mile in nine ininutes.‘ ‘After
I had the boat finished I painted it red-'—
“8. strong, bright red,” as the Dutchman
said. Just as I was starting to town one
. day, Dr. Whitfield of Grand Rapids, S.
‘ D., who was seeking health by. hunting
fighters, 'told me that a whopping big alli-
“gator-had, recently made a bed in'the
weeds on Shaw’s grove near an old
wharf. _ _
3‘H‘c’s, a‘whopper,” said the Doctor,
"and you watch out and report.” ,
~When I approached the place I went
about 40 feet from the shore. I soon saw
the monster, an ugly-looking fellow. He
:was about four feet above the Water,
partly hidden in the weeds. I noticed a
slight motion as I passed, so I concluded
to return, in hopes of seeing him slide in-
to the water, as they usually do, and thus
secure his dimensions. 'But I was greatly
surprised to see the monster rise and
plunge in the water like a man taking a
header. It was an unusual performance.
I had heard of such a. thing, but in my
ten years’ residence on the lake this was
the first plunge I ever really saw. This,
Etogether with his immense size, warned
'me that I had encountered a dangerous
genemy.
i He struck the Water about 25 feet from'
lthe boat. As he passed under it, I felt
and heard his rough scale-like hide rub
on the keel. I thought my time had
come; all the blood in my body rushed to
my heart and it beat against my ribs as
though it would come out. He'came up
:toward the . boat. I knew he was mad
land that he was determined .to get at me.
He came toward' the boat with his jaws
open at such speed that if he had-struck
it it would have gone to pieces.
3-horrible death, was staring me in ~ the
1- face, and. no help at hand. ‘There were
'some people on' the opposite shore watch«
Ving the battle, but they had no boat, and
:if they had, could not reach me in time‘
to be of any service. ' ‘ ‘
‘ -' I realized that I must keep cool if I
.would win the fight. As he came near
the boat, I pulled on niy off‘oar with an
my might. This swung theboat around
so we passed each other side by side. He
was going at such speed that he Went 15
:01 20 feet before he turned, and then he‘
.had made a large circle, lashing the water
'into a anm.' I tried to get away from
him, but he was between the boat. and the
shore, and it would be folly to 'push to-
ward the'middle' of the lake. He was
disappointed, mad, furious, and came for
the canoe with renewed vigor.
I again pulled on my Off oar, and the
other oar slipped from its lock and slid
.into the lake. There was no time to be
lost in trying to recover it, for in another .
instant the battle would be won, man Or
’gator. ' Quick as lightning I raised the
remaining car and brought it down with
all my power, aiming for his eyes; It fell
short Of the mark, but struck him on the
end of his nose. He spurt-ed blood and
hesitated.- That was fatal to him, for the
fnext instant-I'struck him across theeyes.
lHe stopped and commenced-sinking, and, '
ianother blow sent him out of sight.
The spot was watched for some days,
and at last he was found sunning himself
in his old bed, when he was shot. , He
measured fourteen feet and was thought
to be 80 years old. The Old alligator
hunters said he attacked. the boat because
it was red. '

The Alternative 3 Williamsbnrg Justice
Gives a Wife Beater. .- .
Andrew Hertzel, a German 40 years old,
- who is employed in a Williameurg
slaughter house was charged by his wife
with assault. Hertzel was about to be
sentenced to the penitentiary for six
months when the woman pleaded :for
mercy for the sake of her four small
children. '
After eyeing Hertzel for fully a minute
Justice Watson called the Rev. Henry
Orne, a clergyman who attends court
every day and holds services there every
Sunday afternoon, to the bar.
“What shall I do with Hertzel?” the
Justice asked of the minister.
“I don’t know, I am sure,” said Mr.
Orne. “The children will. suffer, I sup-4
pose.”
“That’s it,” exclaimed Justice Watson.
“I don’t Consider the woman. It’s the
children I’m worried about.” '
, . Then looking at. Hertzel the Justice
said:
“Look here, Hertzel, I am going to let
you go. This minister here, Mr. Orne, is
going to hold divine services in this court
room tO-m orrow afternoon. You come at
four O’clock and. report to him. Come
next Sunday the same way and keep on
coming as long' as the -Services are held.
,‘Report to the minister every Sunday, and
he will let me know. If you fail to at.

A reckless man left an apple .in a. bag
on his desk in a room Where .several peo-
ple sit. An office boy peeped into the bag
and hovered longingly around it, finally

theory that crime, like misery, loves com-

apple with the other boy, making him a.
party to the theft.
Not content with this, he placed a
piece of coal in the paper, closed the top
and replaced the bag on the desk. The
