The Indian Trouble.
The more we learn‘about the trouble
with the Bannock Indians the plainer
does it appear that they arse within their
V treaty rights. The playful settlers have
murdered a few of them, including
women and papooses, ostensibly for
killing game outof season, but really
to keep their hand in. The indictment
of these settlers for rmurder is now
talked of and at this distance it would
appear to be a very proper thing to do.

Help for Cuba.
Every genuine American will be glad
to learn that an expedition of several
hundred picked men, with an abundant
supply of modern arms and ammunition
has succeeded in cluding the vigilance
of the patrolling Spanish gunboats and
has’randed in Cuba. The starting point
of this force is said to have beenthc
Bahamas, and the aid which the spare
rifles and cartridges which it carried
will afford to the Cuban revolutionists
promises to be of great importance.
There has been no lack of men to fill
the patriot ranks in Cuba, but the in-
surgent-s have been sadly hampered by
want of improved arms. Every repeat-
ing rifle which reaches the Island will
enable one more revolutionist to take
the field against the Spanish oppreSv
sors, and the knowledge that it is pos-
sible to transport munitions of war
from the outer world to the scene of
operations will inspire the ragged and
indomitable fighters for Cuban inde-
pendence with fresh determination.

The Truth of the Matter.
In the somewhat interesting year of
1803 the bureau of education at Wash-
ington published a document of just
30'.) pages entitled “The History of
Education in Connecticut.” . Some of
our esteemed contemporaries have just
heard of the publication and they are
patriotically proud of the general eulo-
gy which it utters on education in this
commonwealth. The document is a
convenient peg on which some of our
blanket
‘cduca-
progressive journals hang a
glorification Of Connecticut’s
local facilities,” says the Waterbury
Republican.
From the indiscriminate panegyric
which, as the result of this government
publication, some of our contemporar-
ies are pronouncing upon Connecticut
schools we beg emphatically to dissent.
It is, in sooth, happily true that _the
three colleges of the state stand in the
, forefront of American institutions of
higher education and they are doing
excellent work. It is also happily true
that the public schools in some Con-
necticut cities are progressive and very
creditable, though perhaps a bit me-
chanical. But, if we may speak in
general terms, the public School system
of Connecticut is the reverse of satis-
factory, is not a matter of pride, and
signally fails,to reach the limit of its
opportunities. Here and there may be
found some splendid exceptions to this
general dictum, but the statement as a
whole, particularly as applied to the
rural districts, is as true as the four
gospels. We have no disposition to
draw a general indictment, but if a
person will thoroughly examine the
country schools Of the state he will be
impressed by the excessive amount" of
absenteeism, by the backwardness and
unenthusiasm of the pupils, by the in.
equality of opportunities, by the note-
ble lack of apparatus and books essen-
tial to successful teaching, by the inade-
quate attainments of the teachers, and
by the unscientific methods of school
administration. The report of the de
tailed investigations which; Within re-
cent years, the state board Of education
has made into the schools of New Lon_
don, New Haven and Fairfield counties
disclose a condition of things - which is
almost disheartening, not to say almost
availing. And the worst thing about
the reports is that they rest on an irre-
sistible array of specific facts.
We are not proposing remedies at this]
time, but so far as the assumed general
.bfiiciency of the public schools is con- ‘
i
m
- and a dwelling house.
,Q: , - . ‘
corned we__thinkiv'1t better to Iona the
facts squarely. in the face than it is to
deceive ourselvcsiby gulping down an
'unassm‘ted mass of eulogistic misinfor-
'mation.

N. M. Belden’s Funeral.
A more impressive office than that of
yesterday over the remains of the late
Nathan M. Belden Of Wilton has rarely
been performed in this county. tit.
Matthew’s church was filled from por-
tal to chancel with a congregation in
fullsou‘l-accord with the solemuity of
the occasion, and a felt sense of the
great private and public loss that had
befallen the community was most evi-
dent. The service so becoming such a
noble memory, was the simple, digni;
fied ritual of the prayer book, during
the rendering of which the touching
tribute over the bier of the uoivursally
honored and beloved deceased, on the
part of the Rev. Dr. Stocking: of New
Jersey, was listened to in (leap silence.
The rector of St. Matthews was accom-
panied, clerically, by Revs. Dr. C H.
Stocking, F. H. Barnett, James E-
Coley and C. M. Selleck. Altar the
interment the rector, vardens . and
vestrymen met in the church, passed a
minute of respect, and took action look-
ing to the erection in the church of a
suitable memorial to the lamenied de-
parted.
Nathan M, Bcldcn was a descendant
of the cousin of the original Norwalk
John and Samuel Belden, by William,
of Deerfield, Mass. His fore parents,
William and Margaret, vere establish-
ed in ‘i’ilton parish at about :‘ho time
of the two Cousins occupany of the low-
er end of the town. The first Samuel
Belden was unmarried, so the
cousins John and William were tic two
heads of the two distinct branches of
the Norwalk Beldcn family. From
John descended the John, Green and
filial:
Henry Belden of West menu, and
from William the Azor, Rev. David,
and recent Nathan M. Beldeu, who
during his life walk, from his csllege
to his closing days, has sustained the
lofty character of an able,fui:h§ul, pure
minded citizen and christian. .
N.-—
New Liquor Law.
The “Blue Book,” containing the
public acts passed by the less General
Assembly, is being distributed among
officials of this State and to lawyers.
There was a big fight made for high
license, but it was only successful in so
far that it raised the license fee from
$400 to $1.50 in cities, and in turns of
over 3,000 inhabitants to $250, ii the
latter ease'au increase of $150. In the
case of reputable hotels in smell towns
itis left discretionary witn the County
Commissioners, but in such a cash ' no
fee shal‘ be less than :5l50.
Another law passed is that cuihorizfi-
ing the attachment of a license and the
taking of the license on execution, the
Value in such case to be the value of
the unexpired term of the license. The
person taking the license on exe-euftion
can have it transferred by the County
Commissioners, and can do business
under it or dispose of it. Previous to
this time, while the license was D-li] ex-
empt from execution, the only value
attached to it was what the frame was
worth.
Another law provides that no liquor
shall be given away at any tune when
it is unlawful to sell it, and if a saloon
keeper should give a drink to u friend
on Sunday or after 12 O’clock, and be-
fore 5 o’clock the following morning,
he would be subject to a fine of not less
than $50 or imprisonment for I»: t more
than six months, or both, besides for-
feiting his license and the bond of $400
he is compelled to give when raking
out a license. If a person enters a
place lawfully licensed to sell intoxica-
ting liquors at a time when it is unlaw-
ful to sell, he is liable to a fine of $7 for
every offence.
Every minor who, for the purpnse of
securing liquor in a lawfully licensed
place shall represent himself to be of
age, is liable to afine of $50 and im-
prisonment for sixty days. Under a new
law there must be no passageway be.
tween the place where liquor is sold
The laws in re-
gard to seizure of and search for liquors
have been changed greatly, giving
prosecuting officers greater powers in
the matter of detecting illegal sale
cf liquor and violation of the lzcense
laws. Any Sherifi, constable or police
officer is authorized to take wiiimut a
warrant liquors which he believes are
being sold or to be sold in violation of
the law.
The County Commissioners are not
allowed to grant licenses in a purely
rcsidenial or manufacturing portion of
a city or town, and in the future they
must be confined to those portions of a
city or town which are effectually po-
liced. _
These laws take effect to-day, and the
liquor men as yet do not know exactly
where they stand.

Johnl’Bar‘theI Strutk on the'Heiaqi‘
wan aClub at His Home '
in Cranbur‘y.
His Wounds Dressed by Dr. Hun-
tlngton.
Shortly after 9 o’clock last night,
Charles Bout-On, who lives at Cranbury
heard his name called by a voice which
he recognized as being that of John
Barthel, one of his neighbors. Mr.
Benton had retired at the time but got
up and hastily dressed and went to the
door, and on opening it found standing
before him a man with his face covered
with blood, which had trickled down
and bespattcred his white shirt front.
He saw that it was Barthel and asked
him who had assaulted him and was
told that Louis Sweltzer was the guilty
man. Bouton says that he urged Bar-
thel to come in the house but he refus-
ed and stepping from the stoop laid
down on the grass. Bouton thought
that the man was dangerously injured
and securing a horse drove to this city
and advised Constable Hunt of the sit-
nation and also secured the services of
Dr. Huntington.
Hunt procured a team and drove to
the Barthel residence where he placed
Louis Sweitzerunder arrest.
He then took Barthel into the wagon
and drove with both men to this city.
Arriving here he placed Sweiizer in the
station house, and went to the hospital
with Barthel. They refused to receive
the wounded man at the hospital and
the officer then drove to the Norwalk
Hotel but.was told that all of the rooms
were occupied. He met with a like I'L-
ception at the American House, and
finally took him to the home of Jailer
Howard on Smith street, where he suc-
ceeded in securing a bed for the man.
The assault occurred in Barthel’s
house and bloody evidence of the fact
could be seen on the wall and carpet,
to-day. .
Barthel’s injuries are confined to two
ugly looking wounds on the side and
back of his head evidently receive-d
from a club and while his back was
turned to his assailant.
chiizer not only denies having
struck Barthel but pleads ignorance of
any knowledge as to how, when or
where, the assault was committed.
This seems strange from the fact that
he lives in the same house with Barthel.
He alleges that about ,9 o’clock he
heard a noise at the door, and thinking
perhaps it was caused by burglars, shot
off his revolver twice in the air, and
then Went to bed. Next door neiah~
here, however, claim that they did not
hear any shots fired.
There seems to be bad blood between
Sweitzcr and Barthel. The latter owns
a farm in Cranbury which he lets to
Sweitzer on shares. There has almost
from the signing of the contract been
trouble between the two. A few weeks
ago Barthel had Sweitzer arrested for
an alleged assault but the latter swore
that it was Barthel who committed _the
assault, and as the evidence was not
convincing, the Judge gave the pris-
oner the benefit of the doubt and dis-
charged him.
Elated over this chitzer for revenue
swore out a complaint against Barthel
asking damages for false arrest. The
papers in the suit were served on Bar-
thel yesterday.
Barthel was about this city in the af-
ternoon and evening, and visiting sev-
eral Of the saloons, became somewhat
intoxicated. It is believed that on go-
ing home he had some words with
Sweitzer about the papers he had
caused to be served on him, and
that Sweitzer becoming maddened,
struck him with a club. .
Both are men of violent tempers and
when intoxicated act in a crazy and
threatening manner, and the neigh-
bors have long expected that a murder
would be committed by either of them,’
and are not at all surprised at last
night’s assault.
When a GAZETTE representative call
ed at Howard’s this morning, he found
Barthel sitting on a bed with his head
in bandages, and his shirt front and
sleeves bespattered with blood. He
acted as if out of his mind and wanted
to tear the bandages from his head.
He was unable, or at least did not at-
tempt to talk. It is said though that he
keeps calling for “Katie,” his wife, who
secured a divorce from him some
months since.
Sweitzer seems to take his arrest
very cooly and evidently believes that
he will escape punishment as he did be-
fore.-
