A Courageous Editor.
The Mount Vernon Argus, a demo-
caatic paper, has the courage to kick at
some disreputable selections made by
his party’s caucus for nominees for lo-
cal ofiices.' He heads a protesting edi-
torial: “Democratic House Cleaning in
Order,” and. then proceeds to charge
that many, of the candidates named are
lacking in character and personal fol-
lowing, adding that “one of these is an
embezzlcr; another served the city as a
councilman Without legal right or title,
and took. an active part in its legisla-
ture; and still another shot down a fol-
low in cold blood.”

License.
An election is being held tO-ilzly in
about all the towns of the county out-
side of Bridgeport. The election will
be an important one in many respects.
“far is being waged in favor of and
against “license." Some of the towns
that are now under “no license” law
want “license” and vice ,versa. The
question has been agitated for months
and in some places comes in the wake
‘ of aMurphy campaign ‘which lent it im-
petus. I
' The question at issue will be very
lively in Danbury with perhaps a slight
advantage for the license advocates.
In Stamford and Greenwich, where
“Ned” Murphy has recently done cam-
paign work, the feeling for “no license”
runs high and the Opinion prevails gen—
, erally that today will see these towns
go “no license.” ‘
O.————-——-—
The Ballot Cyclone.
There is a. weapon surer yet.
And mightier than the bayonet-—
The voters who came down Mill Hill,
As snnvfiakes fall upon the sod,
And execute the Freeman’s will,
As lightning rules the trolley rod;
And from its force, n it doors nor 1 le5
Can shield you—’51s the ballot box.
It is the duty of every good citizen
who can and is entitled to an American
Freeman’s suffrage to go to the polls
and vote, as his conscience shall dictate.
To-day has been ono of mildness and
Autumn lovliness and our Town and
City voters seem to have turned out in
reasonably large numbers.
The chief issue to-day is the election
of good and true men, so as to secure
the best possible government. There
seems to be considerable “scratching,”
to-day, both at the Town and City polls,
as there always is, and the "pester” is
very much in evidence, but if this is
done with an intelligent and worthy
motive, to the end of electing for the
various cfiices, the men who in the
judgment of the yoter, are best fitted
to give an honest and efficient adminis-
tration of our Town and City affairs,
this scratching of regularily nominated
candidates, may not be deemed an un-
mixed evil. It is our best men who are
most needed for; local offices, but too
often those of the other kind slip into
places 'of responsibility and trust,
through the apathy of voters who have
the most at stake and the industry' of
that class of voters who have nothing
to lose and some advantage” to gain.
And may the best men win. -

Her Reason Restored.
Miss Lucretia Clark, the school teach-
er whose sudden disappearance from
Plainfield, N. J., caused a sensation six
weeks ago has recovered from her at-
tack of temporary insanity. She is at
the home of her sister in Syracuse.
Miss Clarke was formerly a teacher at
Miss Baird’s Institute in this city.
"Old Lavender.”
Speaking of “Old Lavender,” which
comes to Hoyt’s Theatre Monday night,
the Sun says: “There are parts in the
piece suitable for several well-known
members of the Harrigan company.
The songs bear their revival very well,
that which was applauded more
than all the rest- hoing a bullard
of homely sentiment, ‘Poverty’s Tears
Ebb and Flow,’ which Mr. Harrigan
sang with so much feeling that it had to
be many times repeated.
School of Dancing.
Professor Newell’s Dancing and De-
partment academy will open at the
Athenseum, as per his advertisement in
another column, next week Tuesday,
October 15th NO one in this line ofin-
struction has ever maintained in Nor-
walk, so high a reputation for success—
ful teaching of the “poetry of motion”
refinement and elegance of manners, as
Professor Nowell, and his success has
been worthily won as it has been by
patient, painstaking instruct-ion given
each separate pupil. Gentleness cour
tesy, politeness and refinement of man-
ners, are a specialty with the Professor,
as well as the teaching of a graceful ease
and charm in movement. Success to
the Professor’s new class.

’
”Campy" Flops A'galn.
All know Witn woat hereic liberality
and self-denial, “Campy” sent his $5
to the World’s Western Cleveland Mis-
sionary fund, two years ago, t) the end
that the benighted protection Republi—
cans in that wild, wooly region, might
be converted from their heathenish
ignorance on the tariff question, and
also how promptly he ran up his fight-
ning rod and how patiently he waited
after Cleveland’s election, for even the
smallest electric spark of recognition,
of his pecuniary sacrifice, made in the
canvass. Well, he here all his party’s
cold neglect in silent grief, as he saw
this one and that one of his interiors
called up higher to the responsibilities
and revenue of Federal places, and like
a lonely wanderer, his heart and hopes
found solace in the thought that though
the Republic might be ungrateful, he
could turn in fond expectation to his
own Norwalk home andthe old, reliable,
and invincible NorWulk Democracy for
any good thing he might crave on its
political pie-counter. Again has his
faith in men and politics and
things, been terribly shattered.
Even when his party’s candidates were
fleeing from proffered nominations
for our best local offices, like rats from
a sinking ship and others to replace
them were hunted for with search—war-
rants, as it were, poor “Campy” Was
never thought of Yor_ Selectman, for
Mayor, City Council, Collector, Treas-
urer or even for Water Commissioner,
an office for which by nature, taste,
cultivation and love of the fluid so pe-
cularly fitted him! It is true he never
entreated for this latter appointment,
as his erst but now expelled Br. Maples
did, yet in these warm October days,
what accoling, grateful, sense it‘would
give any thirsty craving soul, to feel
that he was “boss” of two such big wa-
ter ponds as our city owns. Well, Cam-
py can stand freezin'g neglect, he can
stand the loss of his hard earned 35, but
he can’t and won’t stand everything.
The worm will squirm when ruthlessly
tread upon. SO, Campy confidentially
notifies a GAZETTE scribe that he is
done with patent, humbug, democracy.
Henceforth and forever, he is a "Grover
Cleveland Republican I” Hereafter,
he heads a party, where he will always
be in a majority of one, and can dictate
divisions of offices and the selections of
candidates and appointees, at his ,own
sweet will. _ . J
_ Came Out to Vote.~
Hon. John S. Seymour proved his
pluck and good citizenship to-day by
packing up his injured limb and hob-
bling up to the Town and City ballot
boxes and casting his accustomed vote.
Has a Lucrative Engagement.
Selectman Daskam has already been
proffered a lucrative engagement by
the Standard Oil company. It is singu-
lar that the Colonel with all his long:
and varied business experience, should
ever have been content to let his abili-
ties rust out in the prison-house of the
Selectman’s office. The GAZETTE wish-
es the genial Colonel all manner of suc
cess and good fortune and extends to
him the expression of its distinguished
consideration, and the hope that his
shadow may never be less.
A 053d Job.
The best piece of road repairing yet
done in the city centre 'is that of cut-
ting a uniform grade up Belden avenue
from the Methodist Church to the Levi
C. Hauford residence. This will carry
the surface, water in times of heavy
rain falls into the sewer catch basin in-
stead of sweeping across the roadway
and washing the eastern side gutter full
of sand and mud. To Councilman
Smith are we indebted for the order for
this much needed improvement, and to
Roadmastsr Mart. Kellogg for its ad -
mirable execution.
Deadly Stiletto Agaln.
An Italian fight occured early this
morning on Willard avenue, Bridge-
port, between Jerry and Lugi Maloni
and Dan L. Desaasta, in which the
latter and Jerry pulled stilettos‘upon
each other. Lugi was stabbed in the
left breast, just under the heart by
Dessasia and will probably die from
the wound. He was taken to the gener-
al HOSpital and is in a very critical con-
dition. The other Italians have been
arrested.

quired for admission to Yale, is divided
in the class of 1899 between Sullivan
Dorr Ames, of Pawtucket, R. I., who
was prepared for college by the Uni-f
versity Grammzr school, Providence,

Corsican Brothers.
The production of Alexander Dame’s
famous romantic drama, “The Corsican
Brothers,” at Hoyt's Opera House next
Saturday night, with the eminent young
actor, Robert Mantell, in his great
dual impersonation of Louis and Fab-
ien del Franchi,willundoubtedly prove
one of the season’s strongest attrac-
tions. Mr. Mantell’s revival of this
celebrated romance is modeled after
that given by Henry Irving a few years
ago at has London theatre and is very
elaborate. The scenery is entirely new
and was painted for this production by
Mr. Homer Emeus, a well known New
York artist, while Benson Sherwood, of
the Madison Square Garden Theatre,
prepared the tricks, traps,‘ vision
screens, apparition slides and other me-
chanical effects. Mr. Mantell’s imper-
sonation of the two leadingroles has
been most warmly commended by our
most prominent dramatic critics, who
favorably compare it with Fechter’s
and Irving’s. _
Mr. Mantell’s fame is well known
here, and a large and fashionable house
is expected.

[New England and Consolidated.
South of the line of the Boston and
Albany road, all the railroad lines of
southern New England, with the single
exception of the New London North«
em, (from New London and Palmer,
Mass.,) are to-day in control of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
road. ’l‘hat control meansvthe handling
of the passenger and freight transpor-
tation for over a million of people, in‘a
territory thickly studded with manu-
facturing and other industries which
have daily business relations with the
lines of transportation. ‘
Great responsibilities, aptly remarks
the Hartford Times, are inseparable
from such control as this; on the one
hand, the obligation to the people to
give efficient, prompt and safe service
'at a reasonable cost, and on the other
the obligation to give a fair return on
the millions of money invested in rail-
road properties.
This has been the policy of the Con-
solidated road, conservative under the
older management, more progressive
but none the less careful under the
present one. It is the policy under
which the lines acquired by lease or
purchase have been brought to standard
conditions, affording a better and as 9.
rules. cheaper service to the people.
If this policy is brought to bear upon
the New England; if it ends the long
career of stock jobbery of which its
stockholders have been the victims and
ends also the record of poor service,
delayed trains, inconvenient connect»:
ions and inefficient management, then"
the people along its lines may be grati-~_
lied that the control has fallen into,
other hands. ,

POINTS ABOUT A BULLFROG.
flow He “Boilers” arid I'iow He Wears His
Teeth on His Backbone.
“Do you know how a bullfrog bel-
lows?" said or Magistrate Camp last
night as he Sparszd out his legs and-
walk group in front of the Willard ho-
tel. “NOW, most people think that
when a bullfrog bellows he is lying
upon a big rock just blowing off. That’s
not so. When a frog bellows he is lying
flat on the water, this way,” and the
speaker spread out his broad palm. “I’ve
seen ’em. You know he has a. sort Of
wattle under his throat. Well, he‘fills
that up about half full of water and
blows out the air through it. You’ve
all put water in a bottle and then blown
into it?” There was no response, but
Mr. Camp continued: “You know how
that sounds. Well, a frog bellows in
that same way, and it sounds just like
blowing in a bottle partly filled with
water. Just this way,” and the speaker
expanded his own “wattle” and gave
an imitation so natural as to alarm the
cook in the hotel kitchen.
“Do you know where a frog’s teeth
are E” continued Squire Camp, encour-
aged by the absence of argument.
“In his belly,” somebody suggested.
“N o. ’A frog’s teeth, "’ resumed Squire
Camp impressively, “are just about the
- middle of his backbone, between his
bind and fore legs.”—Louisville Cone

Japanese English.
Commander Wilde, United States nae
vy, presented to his kinswoman, Miss
Louise Withington of North Easton, a
silk handkerchief which some enterpris-
ing merchant in Yokohama furnishes
to patrons for advertising purposes. As
an illustration of - Japanese English the
following words which decorate the four
sides of the border are unique and
worthy of preservation in print:
“My shop was constantly trading the
various clothes of the domestic and the
foreigner. Although I was advised by
the every foreigner, at this time I have
made the nice handkerchief of the dif-
ferent specious silk and begun to sell
it. Then I was observed with the honor
on the several portions. Thence what-
ever will perform truly for something,
and, it will sell lower price for every-
body’s wants. Please I-‘beg consequently
~to obtain the more favors and the many
produces. But the all colors of the hand-j
kerchiefs that be done by the one meth- -
od will by free hurtless for washing it.”
