The Sea Serpent.
Again the sea serpent bobs up, and I
'1-
this time knocks the flange Off a pad-
dle wheel of Captain Burns’ steamer
Montuuk, as related in our South Nor-
walk column. Captain Burns and his
crew aver that the monster was at least
100 feet long and had large eyes. As it
turned over he observedw also that it
hid small legs and a head like a hog-
It is possible, of course, that this is
nothing more than the Philadelphia
“hog combine” driven into the sea.
By way of completing the record of
this important incident we may state
that Captain Burns vouches for the so-
briety of his crew, and the crew is
equally kind courteous to Capt-tin
Burns. It is not unlikely that the ser-
pent was half seas over.
The Dying Silver Craze
One of‘the most gratifying signs of
the times is the visible and rapid ebb
of the free silver tide that threatened
to sweep the country some months
ago. It was the most dangerous Of all
the political crazes which have been
invented for more than a generation
and it had itsvapparent success solely
in the general depression of industry
and widespread poverty amongst the
people.
The Memphis mass convention held
some weeks ago gave evidence of the
beginning of the decline of the free
silver craze End the ostentatious call
made by a number of prominent demo-
cratic leaders including several United
States Senators to hold a confe reuse in
Washington to lead the Democracy of
the country into the free silver ranks
clearly demonstrated that the vitality
of the movement has perished and that
henceforth those who cry for free silver
coinage on the basis of 16 to 1 will be
classed as the political freaks of the
land.
The Washington conference held this
week had no representative men in it
excepting several United States Sena-
tors who had fallen into the free silver
tide at an early day and now cannot ex-
tricate themselves without confessing
' their ignorance or hypocrisy. Not half
the States were represented and out of
the eighty-five persons present, a ma-
j ority of them were from three States.
It was, therefore, not in any sense a
representative gathering but was sim-
ply a funeral wake Over the remains of
the Populist element within the Demo-
cratic ranks.
Both of the great parties of the coun-
try are thus clearing their skirts of the
studied aesaults of demagogic or ignOr-
ant Populists upon public and private
credit.
It is now well assured that both the
great National Conventions next year
will declare for honest money and thus
proclaim to the world that a degraded
currency and doubtful credit cannot be
among the things entertained by a pa-
triotic people of any party in thiscoun-I
.try.

Military News.
The Bridgeport Union, this morning,
publishes the following news from
Camp Coffin, which is too good to be
true:
It is the talk among the soldiers in
camp that this is the last year for Brig.-
Gen. Havens and that he is soon to re-
sign. The rumor is' given consider-
able credence,
could be obtained from the general.
In the event Of Gen. Haven’s resig-
nation, Col. Frost of the Fourth regi-
ment will be made brigadier general.
This will lead to the promotion of Maj.
James Sheridan of Bridgeport to the
colonelcy. Capt. Holly of Stamford,is
slated for Major Sheridan’s place.
It is also reported that Lieut.-Col.
Crowe of South Norwalk will resign,
and J unior-Major Hendrie of Stamford
is named as his successor.

NORWALK OPERA HOUSE.
Says the Bangor Daily News of the
Rube Tanner company which will ap-
pear at the Norwalk Opera. House next
Monday evening: The rural comedy-
drama of “Old Rube Tanner,” pre-
sented at the opera house last evening,
scored a conspicuous success. The
company brought the best band and
orchestra that has been heard here in
along time. The specialties are all
new and bright and in. the hands of
excellent people. John J. Black is a
comedian of rare ability, and his s1ng-
ing and eccentric dancing scored an
immense hit. He is supported by an
excellent company of singers and
artists.

The Lady From Bridgeport.
A canopy-top carriage stopped on
Main street yesterday afternoon.
the carriage were seated three women
and a man. Soon after, a horse and
carriage might have been seen coming
down Main street at a rapid pace, and
driven by a woman, who stopped the
horse when she reached the canopy
turnOut, and the manner in which she
let her tongue loose was a caution and
the means of collecting t" -gether quite
a crowd. It seems that the driver of
the canopy-top had collided with one of
the wheels of the other carriage and
scraped off fifteen or twenty cents worth
of paint, for which the woman who said
that she was “a lady from Bridweport,”
demanded full and immediate repara-
tion. The driver of the canopy-top
finding it next to impossible to explain
matters gave the woman his card with
a request that she go and have the nec-
essary repairs made at his expense.
And with a parting shot about the man’s
not knowing how to handle a horse as
well as she, the lady from Bridgeport,
drove away.

John Malone Rescues a B011 From
Drowning.
He Leaps From a Roof, a Distance
of Twenty Feet. into theIWater.
Frank, the 12 year old son of Frank
Sherwood had a narrow escape from
drowning, yesterday afternoon. In
company withsome other lads be was
jumping from a platform in the rear of
the pottery building to the wharf. The
last jump he made resulted in his fall-
ing into the creek. The rear of Hugh
Donn'elly’s grocery store opens toward
the creek and onto a roof or shed that
leads close to the edge of the wharf.
John Malone, J r., was engaged in wait—
ing on a customer in the back part of the
store, and glancing out of the window
saw a lad struggling in the water. He
jumped through the, window and hasti-
ly running overthe roof plunged into
the creek and d1ving after him one
ceeded in getting a hold on the lad and
lifting him in an almost insensible con-
dition onto his back swam to and
placed him in a boat that happened to
be meored near by. In the meantime
assistance had arrived and the lad was
resuscitated and taken to his home.
Young Malone was warmly congratu-
lated on his hungry, but he did not
seem to think that he had done any-
thing out of the ordinary. This morn-
ing, when interviewed by a GAZETTE
reporter, he acted as if the story of the
rescue was hardly worth publishing.
In the rescue he acted promptly and
nobly and is deserving of all the credit
there is attached: to the honor of hav-I
ing saved 11. life.

, Ecclesiastes was a preacher of unus-

have not been surpassed by. any subSe-
quent writer. He dwells at consider-
able length in various places in his writ-

association of a similar character should
do? In my opinion this country needs,
more than any other thing, a. revival of
patriotism, and the newspapers and the
public schools should be the great teach-
ers; for it is by them that the greatest
influence is wielded. . It should be the
duty of every American newspaper to
teach loyalty to the Government of the
United States, as against the encroach-
ments of any foreign power. Every-
newspaper office and every schoolhouse
in the land should have the American
flag flying over it, each day of the
365. ,-
What we need, as a nation, is more
patriotism, more fidelity to the Govern-
ment of the United States, more regard
for the great bulwark. of our liberties—
the public sbhools, and more respect for
the laws enacted under our National and
State Constitutions. Believe in these
things yourselves, teach them to your
children, and we wrll have the strongest
nation on the earth.
The Florentine Republic, which flour-
_years, was, at the beginning of that
period, a city of no importance; at its
close it was the most prosperous city in
the world.
It began to decline from a lack of pa.-
triotism; and £10m the day that it en-
trusted its public business to inferior
men, that day the Republic began .to
fall, and to-day, Florence' is one ofa doz-
en Italian cities, '3 beautiful place to
visit, full of wonderful works of art and
memories of her former victories, but
with no political influence whatever.
The peOple recognize the power of the
press, the greatest power the world
knows. It should be used for the best
interests of the whole people and for. the
honor and wellfare of the Nation. If so
used no foreign pewer can ever serious-
: 1y injure our great Republic, the marvel
of the world. .
Mr. Mulhall, the British Statistician,
in a recent article on the “Wealth of
Nations,” says:I ,
“If we take a. survey of mankind, in
ancient or modern times, as regards the
physical, mechanical and intellectual
force of nations, we find nothing to
compare with the United States, in this
present year, 1895.”
Commenting on Mr. Mulhall’s article.
Harper’s Weekly says:
“The working power of asingle per-
son in the United States is twice thatof
a German ora Frenchman, more than
times that of an Italian.”
As Mr. Mulhall puts it, an ordinary
farm hand in the United States raises as
land, four in France, five in Germany,
or six in Austria, which shows what an
enormous waste Of labor occurs in Eu-
rope, because farmers are not possessed
of the same mechanical appliances as in
the United States.
The actual wealth of the United States
is the wonder of every man who investi-
gates the subject, and it may surprise.
you to learn that the United States to-
day is the richest country in ihe world,
its wealth exceeds that of England by 35
per cent.
Mr. Mulhall says that if the United
States had no urban population or in-
dustries whatever, the advance of agri-
cultural interests would be enough -to
claim the admiration of mankind, for it ‘
has no parallel 1n history.
When you consider that the figures
here quoted are those of an English sta-;
tistican, who, if he had any prejudice
whatever, would be prejudiced against
us, it shOuld make every American citi- -
zen, whether he be native born or adopt-
ed, proud of his country; and it cannot
leave to Socialists, Communists or Popu-
lists one iota. of a. basis for 'thevtheories
that they are attempting to foist upon‘
the freest and most enlightened people
on the globe.
The working power of an individual 111
. the United States has been wonderfully
developed during the past 50 years
through useful inventions.
Mr. Mulhall is deeply impressed with
our educational statistics. and says on
this subject:
“It may be fearlessly asserted that in.
the history of the human race no nation
ever before possessed 41, 000, 000 of in-
structed citizens. ”
