The Sentinel in discussmg the town cOurt bill accuses the GAZETTE of having joined the few "that hold that the people are not competent to judge The Sentinel’s The GAZETTE of its own affairs.” statement is erroneous. has joined the people not the few. The Sentinel represents the “chosen few.” The Sentinel asks us to tell how “the people” could have done much more in the direction of having the bill submit- ted to them, and says “the people” have asked the judiciary committee to be heard ; also that the Council of South Norwalk has asked that the bill be submitted to the people. It the Sentinel will kindly tell us who “the people” are that have asked the committee, or the Norwalk delegation in the Legislature, to submit the bill, we will take pleasure in answering the question, but as the matter stands we arcata loss to know who and what “people” the Sentinel refers t). Asthe Sentinel lays great stress upon what “the people” have done in the matter, it might be well to look a little deeper into the facts. If we remember rightly there were three gentlemen who attended the hearing before the judiciary committee, to oppose the bill. One was the editor of the Sentinel, and Mr. R. H, Golden and Mr. J. Donovan were the other two. Mr. Donovan was the only one who spoke in opposition notwithstanding the committee called upon all opposed to itite their Objec— tions. These three gentlemen, there- fore, must compose the Sentinel’s ”peo- ple” who are Opposed to the town court bill. As to the Council Of South Nor— walk having passed a resolution asking that the bill be submitted, the GAZETTE would answer, that Mr. R. H. Golden, a member of the Council and bitterly opposed t) the bill, drew up the resolu- tion and “presented“ it 11] person at a Council meeting. while Mr. Charles F. Hallcck, also a member of the Council and a grand juror whose office would be affected by the bill, assisted in the passage of the resolution. Can it be that these are “the people” referred to by the Sentinel ? And they mustpbe for no one outside of these gentlemen has appeared against the bill. If they are “the people” will the Sentinel inform us who gave them the aut‘iority to represent the citizens of Norwalk. The Sentinel in its Opposition lays further stress upon the fact that but six hundred cases a year are tried in our justice courts, less than two a day, and Complains that if the bill becomes a law the expense Of the new court will be ten dollars a day. A perusal of tee town treasurer-’6 report shows that the justice caseslast year cost the town $3,241.08. The re- port also says that the tiwn received from these cases $485.09. If the town only received this small amount let us see where the balance went. The costs in every case, outside of Officers fees, amount to $4.41, which in 600 cases would make the total paid to justices grand jurors during the year, $2,646. Add to this the police fees paid into the City of Norwalk last year, $359.92, and we have $3,005.92, every cent Of which under the new court bill would have gone into the town treasury to pay the expenses of the court. And if the police fees at South Norwalk were included, as they and would be, the amount of money paid outlast year would have more than paid the expense of a town court at $10 per day. In other words, the town in- stead of paying out 33,241.08 on justice orders would havephad money to its. credit afacr paying all expenses of the caurt. ' With these facts presented we do not belicvrd that any man having the in~ tcrest of the town at heart will desire to have the town court bill killed, and are certain that nearly all of our citi-, zens desire to rid the town Of the dis- graceful justice system now in vogue. this court bill on account of any‘extra expense to the‘town, but has a' secret motive that it fears to expose. Its effort to create the impression that the GAZETTE believes the people are not to be trusted is not sincere, and is only another attempt on the part Of the Sen- tinel to defeat the bill. Neither does tne GAZE r'rn mean to infer, nor does it believe the Sentinel is honest in making the inference, that the bill will be killed if the people have their say about it. The GAZETTE does not want the bill jeopardized in any way, more cepecially when it realizes that there is a clique making super- human efi'orts to destroy it, and believes too, that if ordered to be submitted to the people, the Sentinel will use every means at hand to defeat it. The Sentinel says that if our senator and representatives ask for the proviso submitting the bill to the people they will secure it. Will the Sentinel tell us who, outside of the three gentlemen above referred to, has asked either of them to have it submitted ? Will the Sentinel go further, and we ask the question in good faith, and inform us whether it is true that one of Norwalk’s' delegation has said, “Get ‘Jerry’ out of the way and I do not care whether the bill is submitted to the people or not.” We are sorry to see that the Sentinel has seen fit to belittle 'the lawyers in its attempt to decry the bill, and we regret exceedingly that the Sentinel in discussing the matter has gone out of its way to say that the GAZETTE repre- sents a clique that is endeavoring to bulldoze the representatives. The GAZETTE represents no clique as the Sentinel well knows, and it is ready at all times to discuss fully, fairly and honestly all queitions affecting the town’s interest, and if the Sentinel will prove to our satisfaction that a town court will cost the town as much as the present justice system, we will join with the Sentinel in its Opposition to the bill. ' We agree with the Sentinel, “that our representatives will be true to their constituents,” we do not believe that the taxpayers of Norwalk have request- ed or desire their representatives to saddle upon them the trouble and ex- pense of holding an election, to satisfy the whims of the self-appointed commit- tee Of “the people” that went to Hart— ford t) defeat the bill. 90 Important to Horsemen. Many prominent horsemen appeard before the Judiciary Committee Of the Legislature Wednesday. afternoon to urge the pasaagc of a bill modifying the rigid anti-Pool law, so as to permit pool selling for twenty day periods on chartered Connecticut tracks while races are actually in progress. The in— tent Of this law is to allow pool selling at tracks, and at the same time, contin- ue the prohibition against pool rooms, where pools are sold on races outside the State. ing on this bill in preference to another which did not have the twenty day limitation. The hearing was held in the Senate Chamber, and the floor and galleries were filled with horsemen and others interested in the measure. Many were the officials of the twenty- Seven tracks in the State, which are practically thrown out of busmess by the existing law. Death of Florence A. Whitney. Florence A., daughter of Luther M. and Ruama Whitney, died at her home on Harbor avenue, this morning, in the 22d year Of her age. The deceased was a member of the South Norwalk Metho- dist church, and Of Concord Division, S. of T. She was a lovable young lady and had scores of friends who will be surprised and pained to learn Of her death, She was the eldest Of a family of six children, and had not been in the best of health for some time. She lived and died a Christian, firm in the faith of her reward in Heaven. General Assembly. 'Ihe Fisheries committee of the Gen- eral Assembly has reported favorably on a bill concerning the taking of cs- calops in the waters of the town of Norwalk ; and a' substitute on a blll concerning the pollution Of waters with substances deleterious to fish and oys- ters; and favorably on a bill concern- ing the licensing of oyster boats, and a substitute on bill concerning fishing in Lake Kenosia, Danbury.

Most of the Rebels Are Said to Be Noth- ing More Than Trumps.- TAMPA, Fla, March 7.-—J. W. Howard of New York, who has been traveling all over Cuba during the past two weeks, ar- rived. on the Mascottc from Havana. He ridicules the stories of any serious engage- ment having taken place between govern- ment troops and rebels. The latter have a poor organization and are traveling about in bands of from three to eight and gen- erally disband, hide their arms and flee to the nearest village on the appearance of the soldiers. If the Spaniards in favor of. home rule decide to take sides with the revolutionists, a sort of guerrilla warfare may be maintained in the outlying dis- tricts and mountain fastnesses indefinitely unless the government takes decisive meas- ures to stamp- it out. Howard met many small hands of rebels and photographed some. He said most of them are What in this country Would be termed marauders or tramps. All disturbances that have taken place have been in the region between Matanzas and Ceiba Mocha, but no conflict has taken place in which more than 60 men have been engaged. It is absurd to talk about 2,000 being defeated, as no such number has yet been brought together. The revo- lutionist-S profess to believe that rc-en- forcemcnts, arms, ammunition, food and apparel are to be forwarded them at once from Key West and Tampa. Tourists and others can move about the island at will. France’s Row \Vitli San Domingo. PARIS, March 7.-——The Matin today, commenting upon the trouble between France and San Dommgo, says: “The American government cannot interfere in the settlement - of the difficulty between France and San Domingo, and it has not attempted to do so. The United States contented itself with the request that France should respect the interests of the American company which has a. lien upon the customs receipts of San Domingo. France never had any intention of med- dling in any way with the interests of this company, which pays a monthly sum of 450,000 francs to President Heurcaux. France only asks that 6 or 10 per cent of this amount be first deducted monthly un— til the indemnity due to France is paid.” Bad News From the Isthmus. WASHINGTON, March 7.-—-Thero is fur- ther disquieting news from the isthmus of Panama.

Any American play which aims to the Odd characters, customs and in- cidents peculiar to different parts Of this country is worthy of conmdera— tion and support, and it is gratifying to note that “In Old Kentuck” has met with such a substantial success.

AUSTIN, Tex, March 7.—Governor Cul- berson, disgusted with the way legislaticiilc: . is going on, sent in a. stinging message, ' in whichhc says: ‘ 9 ‘ “The legislature has practically been in session 60 days. In such time the consti- tution contemplates that the work: oft. the session may be accomplished, and the fact that no measures of urgency or general importance have been enacted into 'laws compels me to call attention anew-to those. of larger consequence and the imperative ' duty which confronts you in reference to them.

PITTSBURG, March 7,—All negotiations between the miners and‘;.»operators of the Pittsburg district? have been declared ofl, . and a strike involving from 12,000 to 17,- 000 men has been Ordered. The conference committees Of the miners and operators failing to . agree on the 69 cent rate for,' mining demanded by the former, the Operator's proposed a joint con- Vention of minors and operators to be held in this city on Saturday.‘ This proposition was reported to the . mincrs’ convention . when it reassembled . today and was promptly rejected. A vOtc was then taken, and the strike was ordered, to take effect immediately. Tho‘delcgatcs returned to their homes, and -mcet~ings will be called at every pit, when the. strike will be an- nounced and,'p1ans-for,its prosecution will be formulated. . I . The miners are hopefuljof winning the strike for two reasons. The first is that lake shipments of coal are Tabout to begin, and that the demand for ‘fuel will force the operators to pay‘thc 69.. cent rate. The other reason is that never before have the minors Of this district been so thoroughly organized as now, despite the hard win— ter of p ivorty andsuffcring through which they have passed. The strike, to insure them victory, must necessarily be short, as the treasury of the mine workers is not in a condition to fight a prelongcd battle. Ono Eirect or the Havel-hill Trouble.
