Hugh McCuiioch.
In the brilliant list of the Secretaries
of the Treasury of the United States the
name of Hugh McCulloch will always
be conspicuous. He was distinguished
from nearly all his predecessors and
successors as a. practical financier of
professional training and experience,
with no associations whatever in poli-
tics, and his administration was marked
by a clear-sighted businesscharacter
. that proved of incalculable value to
the country in a critical period, and
that led to the then unprecedented
honor of his being called a second time
to the same office, after an interval of
fifteen years.
This was just at the close of the war,
when the finances of the country were
- in the most disordered state, With an
enormous debt and a vast volume of
floating obligations that had to be re-
duced to system. The task was not
lightenedby the political controversies
that arose with the accession of Presi-
dent Johnson, but to these 'Mr‘. Mc-'
'Culloch gave no attention, devoting
himself earnestly and with entire self-
abnegation solely to his own great
work, which was so well accomplished
that the national debt was put into
practicable shape, the public credit
was maintained, and the currency sys-
tem started toward a restoration that
Would have been complete had his poli-
cy been pursued to the end.
It is impossible to overestimate the
obligation of the country at this period
t) the clear head and firm hand of Sec-
retary McCulioch. He retired in March,
1869. He was alwaysa sound money
‘man, and he would have retired the
legal tender notes and had the govern-
ment go out of the business of) furnish-
ing currency as speedily as possible.
Unhappily his views were not sustained
and we are now struggling with the
very difficulties that he foresaw and
sought to avert. '

Wheat and Silver.
Scores of thousands of farmers have
been'misled into the silver craze be-
cause it seemed to have been demon-
strated to them that wheat was depressed
in price by the demonetization of silver.
The farmers were told that wheat and
silver had declined together; that the
low prices of the farmers’ products were
due to the depreciation of silver.
Facts and figures conclusively refute
wild political theories. Silver never
was demonetized by the government
until, for more than a generation, the
people themselves, by their united
action, had eliminated it from our cir-
culating medium excepting for subsi-
diary coin. The allegation that silver
was depreciated in value by its alleged
demonetization in 1873, is conclusively
answered by the fact that since that
period we have coined and put into cir-
culation, either as coin or by paper
representing it, fifty times the entire
amount of. silver dollars coined during
the entire existence of the government
before 1893, and to-day we have three
t'mes more legal tender silver dollars
in use in the United States than there
ever were at any period in our past
history. With all these efforts of the
government to sustain silver, it has de-
preciated and the farmers have been
deceived into the belief that their
wheat has declined because the gov-
ernment rejected silver as a circulating
medium.
A few months ago the farmers ,wheat
was worth per bushel just about the in-
trinsic value of the silver dollar ; that
isa little over fifty cents, and the bowl
was, universal from one end of the
ocuntry to the other from every blatent
free silver demagogue that wheat and
silver declined together. Tc-day the
farmers wheat is worth nearly eighty
cents per bushel, and silver is werth no
- more than it Was when wheatWas worth
fifty-five cents. Both are commodities
in themarket, regulated by» this inex-
,.
E’i ‘ ,r l-
the farmers' of the ‘nation must see to-
day. hbw they have been falsely ap-
pealed tojin behalf of the cheap money
craze. .
The;price of wheat and the price of
silver have nothing to do with each
other. When either is produced in ex-
cess of the demand the price will be di-
minished; when the supply of either is
value will increase, and no political
theories or legislation can prevent it.
The farmers have a plain object lesson
of the falsity and demagogic purpose of
the free silver craze by the largely en-
hanced value of wheat without in any
way affecting the price of silver.
Q
Couhcii Meeting.
Apublic hearing on the petition of
the Norwalk Street Railway for the
proposed extension of the turnout on
the Winnipauk branch from Harriet
street to 'Ward street was held at the
Council rooms last night. '
Manager Acton, of the road was
present and explained what the com-
pany proposed doing. He also read
the amendment to the company’s char-
ter which permits them to double-track
their entire line. He said that he did
not think the proposed improvements
would necessitate the setting of any-
more trolley wire poles.
Several property owners were present
for the purpose of putting in a remon-
strance, but when the amendment
clause to the company’s charter was
read they were somewhat nonplussed.
Mr. E. J. Finnegan, however, said
that in his opinion the street was not
safely wide enough for the proposed
changes, and that he did not see the
actual necessity of such extension. He
said he was not “kicking” against the
railway, but believed in granting it all
privileges consistent with the safety of
the public. Mr. A. A. Avison was also
of the opinion that the street was too
narrow. The hearing then closed.
'The council was then called to order
by Mayor Hubbell.
Councilman Wheeler presented a
somewhat lengthy resolution granting
the Street Railway company the layout
asked for, and it received the unani-
mous vote of the council.
Councilman Osborn introduced a
resolution requiring all persons riding
a bicycle within the limits of the city
between sunset and sunrise, to carry a
lighted lantern,'under a penalty of $5
fine, but the resolution was 'withdrawn
on information from J. Belden Hurl-
butt that the legislature would probably
pass a ststute on the subject next week.
Councilman Pinneo reported the es-
timated 'cost of sewers that had been
petitioned for to be as follows: Spring
Hill sewer, $1,695; Step Hill road and
Prospect avenue sewer, $2,061; Stevens
street sewer, $1,692. .
James L. Stevens was present and
objected to the construction of the
Stevens street sewer, as it would be of
benefit to only to or three families, and
the expense would be greatly in excess
of the benefit.
The matter was tabled.
Dr. W. J. Tracy was present and ad-
dressed the Council in behalf of the
board of health board. He said that
while at present the city enjoyed good
health, he wished to call attention to
kthe necessity of proper sanitary precau-
tions being taken to prevent disease.
Cleanliness was the weapon with which
to fight disease, and it was the duty of
the council and board of health to keep
the city in a sanitaryand cleanly con-
dition. He suggested that a sanitary
inspector be appointed to make a can-
vase of every— house in the city and
report to the health board. At present
nuisances were only abated when they
had become so intolerable that they
were of a necessity so reported. It a
sanitary inspector was appointed he
thought the work of inspection could
be done within two weeks. The coun-
cil voted to refer the matter of such
appointment back to the health board
withpower. 1
Dr. Tracy also spoke in reference to
the city garbage. He said that the
menace to health, and was of the opin-
ion that tlie most satisfactory results
could be reached by the establishment
of a crematory, and suggested that the
two cities act in conjunction with each
other in the establishment of such a
plant. He further stated that the
South Norwalk council had appointed
a committee to act with a similar com-
mittee if appointed by the Norwalk
council, as to what plan for the care of
garbage would be most feasible.
Councilmen Smith, Wheeler and Pin-
neo were appointed each committee.
The council then adjourned.

the New England Terminal company
took place yesterday in the superior.
court before Judge Robinson. The
final report of Receiver Lyman S. Cat-
lin was made and accepted and the
dissolution of the company ordered by
the court. ‘
Judge Robinson denied the motion
to discharge the bond the receiver,
however, saying that 'le he under-
this county it was not win any other.
He had refused to order discharges last
week and he must refuse now. He did
not care to commence thecustom as it
was against his rule._ He had under-
stood that the custom originated in this
country from the requirements of the
Surety Co. of New York. He believed
that concern made lots of money and
he thought that it should take all the
risk. While it was not interested in
this case his honor did not want to es-
tablishaprecedent as far as he was
concerned.
The order of dissolution was the re-
sult of a meeting of the stockholders of
the company held in July of 1892, when
it first got into financial difficulties.
The stockholders of the company at
that time were the New York 3r. New
England, the Danbury 8r. Norwalk and
the Housatonic roads. Subsequently
he controlling interests in the last two
roads passed into the hands of the Con-
solidated road and with it the stock of
the New England terminal.
The Consolidated roadpalso acquired
the first mortgage bonds of the com-
pany, held previously by John L.
Rockefeller and others, amounting to
$750,000. As the Terminal company
had been run at a loss from the start,
and its object was a competing route
with the Consolidated road, it was not
to be expected that the latter corpora-
tion would keep it up. As it had also
been a white elephant on the hands of
the New England, that road was not at
all loath to get rid of it. And thus an-
other effort to compete with the Con-
solidated road passed the way of all the
others. v i i
The principal plant of the company
was at Wilson Point and at the time .-it
was started great things were expected
of it. Long Island sound became a
ferry route in conjunction with the
Long Island road and through trains
were run to Boston, coming into the
state that way and going over the Dan-
.bury & Norwalk and New England
roads. Freight steamers also ran to the
point and freight trains were made up
there and sent over the same inland
route. But it was all a dead loss from
the start; it was altogether too round
about to attract either passenger or
freight traffic.
In the final - accounting of the re-
ceiver only one claim was disallowed—
that of the New York Floating Dry
Dock Co. This concern had quite a
large bill which they claimed was due
'them, but the receiver was convinced:
that there was no equity in it and re-_
fused to pay it. This disallowed claim
was the only one which was likely to
interfere with the winding up of afi'airs.
The Dry Dock 00., however, although
duly notified, failed to appear in court
and that settled their claim.
The account also shows that the Con-
solidated road as owners of the first
mortgage bonds, get all the available
assets amounting to $337,000 not quite:
half the face of the bonds. The stock-
holders get nothing. but experience.”
Took the Body Away.
The widow of the deceased bunco
stoerer, whose name was supposed to
be Daniel Simpson, returned from N ew:
York yesterday and in making a de-
mand for the remains gave her name as
Mrs. Daniel Scribner. She identified”
herself satisfactorily by displaying a
life insurance policy, the name of which
established identity and Town Clerk
Finch issued the usual permit for re-E
moval. The body left by train accom-
panied by Mrs. Scribner for Scribner’s
residence, 334. Van Siclan avenue, East.
New York. Mrs. Scribner was unable
to get possession of any of the property
of her husband but will doubtless soon
obtain the horse and buggy and the
clothing. As to the green goods outfit,
and the $168 in money in the hands of
Coroner Doton, that is a matter on
which nothing as yet can be said.
