We shall probably have a lively Sum- mer. Stocks are bounding upward, busi— ness is booming, every form of sport and recreation is well in hand. The baseball season has begun with more than usual interest and enthusiasm. The yachts are putting on their gayest clef-hes, and there will be more of them, big and little, in commission this year than ever before. Abandoned Farms. The abandoned farm of New England was one of the first signs of a nationa tendency toward concentration in the large cities of the republic. Today the statist1cians and the statesmen of the middle west, as well as of the north- east, are worrying their brains over the. problem of how to keep the people on the farms. The great cities are swallowing up the rural population and Many the country is no better for it. thousands of the new citizens come from other continents, but it is a long demonstrated fact that the cities are- gradually absorbing’much of the rural population. The natural increase of the race and the tide of immigration cannot account for all the swelling of the ranks of urban dwellers. This means that a gradual change of the greatest significance is taking place throughout the country. Mr. Henry J. Fletcher in the April Forum touches upon this question in a paper on “The Doom of the Small Town,” in which he shows conclusively that there has been and still is a considerable shrink- age in the villages of the north central states. He mentions Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Michigan in particu- lar an .d gives statistics to show that in those states there is a tendency for the townshipsto dwindie in size. In the five states named there were, according to the census of 1890, (3,291 townships. Less than one—half of these, 3,003, gain— ed in population in the ten years .pre- ceding,-while 3,144. lost population, and 141 remained stationary, Mr. Fletcher thinks that discriminating rates in‘ rail- road freiglits are largely the cause of . this shrinkage and he goes on to show that as far as the agricultural popula- tion is concerned they cannot compete with the farmers of the west, who are able to do business on a much greater scale and can command rates of trans— portation quite out of proportion to the distances to be covered. Another element at the bottom of this concentration is the tendency Of small manufacturers to join hands with one another and to get near the centers of trade, to avail themselves of urban rates for materials and in many cases to purchase New and cheaper forms Of motive power that are not to be found in smaller cities and villages. The fol- lowing description by Mr. Fletcher Of the emigration from the villages will probably be recognized as trucby those who have lived in late years in the smaller towns of the north and east: “One by one, family by family, their inhabitints slip away in search of other homes ; a steady but hardly peréeptible emigration takes away the young, the hopeful, the ambitious. There remain behind the superannuated, the feeble, the dull,,the stagnant rich who willrisk nothing, the n’cr-tO-do-wells who have nothing to risk. Enough workers re— main 1.. 1111 the soil, to manage the dis- tribution of food and clothing, and to transact the common businesrgof life; but the world’s work is done elsewhere.” It is not 11 pleasant prospect to face. One of the chief delights of the America of the past has been the quiet, prosperous Villages that have dotted the country between the great centers, conservative and com fort-able, peaceful and pleasant to dwell in, training schools it may. be for the greater marts of the world, but gOod 150110018 for most of the young and a sufficient arena for a large proportion of their elders. The village life is more apt to be wholesome 111911 the city 11111113111 it could not l, .1, ’ 'well‘ last under the remiss-1111100111114 ticns of the latter-day civilization. As Mr. Fletcher says in his interesting paper, the youth of villages no longer have facilities for learning trades. They must go to town to obtain means of earning a‘livelihood. There they find industrial schools and there they finda market, too, for their talents, which a villageican never afford. The end of all this is not easy to see. It is hardly possible for the country to de- velop forever on these lines. There must be some med1al state between ur- ban and rural life. rl'here must be some limit to the size to which cities can grow and to the isolation of the- .country bevond them. When is the tide to turn? Nevertheless, it is true, under pres- ent conditions, that the larger the city is, the greater is the number of people and industries that it is sure to attract, and this is a potent argument in favor of “the greater Norwalk.” Buy the GAZETTE for one cent and get better news than the other dailies charge two cents for. ‘ , Contemptible Thieves. One of the meanest creatures in ex- istence is the flower thief, one who will sly into the dooryard and steal the orna- ments from his neighbor’slawn. Many of our citizens have an eye to the bean- tiful and adorn their lawns with flowers and shrubs in early spring. , There are others, we are sorry to say, who prefer to pilfer the beautiful, rather than pay for it, or go to a little trouble to pro- vide these things. It is a matter of some little expense and care, to provide these forerunners of the gladsome sum- mer time to come, and it is a shame that those who endeavor to add to the beauty and joy of; the landscape should have enemies in the person of the fiOwer th1ef. Complaints are made that these despicable persons have al- ready commenced their depredations in some sections cf the city, and suspicion points to certain parties,who if caught, will be treated to a warm reception, be- sides being dealt with to the fullest ex- tent of the law. -—_4 o >— _..___._,.__.- Death of Miss Elizabeth Hanlon.

As “Lou” Fauntleroy was riding on. his 2l-lb Columbia, yesterday after- noon, when at Greenfield Hill, his bicycle collided with his fellow-riders and he was violently thrown int) a pile of rocks by the roadside. Of the front wheel of his bicycle was ruptured entirely around, and the spokes bulged outward causing the wheel to collapse. He straightened the spokes, bound the felloe-with tire tape and pluckily continued his trip to Bridgeport. When, oh When? Last Wednesday a genteel appearing young man visited the Norwalk Hotel, and in chirography that was neat and plain, registered as Don M. Doyle. The following day he was engaged in getting together aquantity of bottles which he filled with a liquid which he claimed would take all foreign matter from a shirt or a man’s conscience. He had a glib tongue and it is believed suc- ceeded in placing a quantity of the liquid in households in different parts of the town. At least he reported large sales in the hearing of the hotel at- taches and others. It is certain though that he suddenly left town and an un- settled board bill. When, oh when, will the tribe of fakirs, get what they so richly deserve? Time in some jail. I + Wanted to Die. Some weeks since Grant Clayton, colored, of New Canaan, loaned a sum of money to a well-known resident of that place.' He was requested by the borrower to say nothlng about the loan, and the request he faithfully kept. In some way, however, the transaction be- came known, and was a source of con- siderable annoyance to the borrower. Clayton also heard of it and it so preyed upon his mind that he concluded that life had no fu‘rther-attraction-fof him, and‘he resolved to commit suicide.- To this end he visited two drug-stores and tried to purchase laudanum, but‘ without success trouble to a policeman th advised him that it was the borrower not he that had cause if any one to die. At this writing Grant is alive and willing to be forgiven for his fOolish mistake. 'Thbre are those in this city who have bor- rowed money that would perhaps _‘be willing to see their creditors die.

PETERSBURG, Apr 11 22. —-The strong protests of. the Russian press against the Japanese annexing the Liuo-Tung penin- sula. are fully indorsed-by the Russian gov- ernment. Much irritation is expressed at the reported change of Great Britain in favor of Japan as being calculated to par- alyze for a. time a common agreement be- tween the powors, which is essential to the exercise of pressure upon Japan.- It is semioflioially stated that there is no truth in the story which was put in cir- culation from Washington that Russia is fully aware of and gives secret but hearty approval of the conditions of peace exacted from China by Japan. It is further stated that the story was probably circulated in order to mislead China. Russia. according to the semioffiolal ut- terance. does not approve bl‘fifi treaty of Shl-_ monoseki, and acting in agreement with the powers will protect her interests even if England holds aloof. .
