TUESDAY, MARCH 17,1896.
The Piano Contest.
The sudden start made by St. Mary‘s
schOol yesterday and the capturing of
first place, has caused the other leaders
, to come forward tO-day with their re-
‘serve ballots, and while HOpe lines has
captured second position the Norwalk
Yacht club takes the lead for the second
time during the contest.
To-niorrow will more than likely show
some other contestant at the head now
that the b-illots are beginning to come
in lively.
Another Town Meeting.
The selectmeu haVe eulled another
town meeting for Monday next, to re-
peal the vote authorizmg the selectmen
to macadamize the Connecticut Turn-
pike. This action is taken on the ad-
vice of the town attorney, who advises
that this action is illegal. Whatever
may be the opinion of the Town officials
the vote should stand and the work
should be done. Although the Con-
necticut Turnpikeis the dividing line
between the two cities, South Norwalk
is chargeable with its repiir and the
proposed work is the connecting ‘liLe
betWeen the West avenue macadam
and that bunt last year.
The Last Opportunity.
'l‘o-day anl to-morrow will be the
llist opportunity the people \vill‘have to
assist Phoenix Engine company by
purchasing tickets for “Delmonico’s at
Six.” which is t) be presented at the
Opera House for their benefit tO—mOi-
row night. '
l‘ne people have responded most
generouslyin purchasing tickets; also
the merchants with their advertise-
ments, but‘there are yet. a number who
have not secured ticket~ uni to these
we would say, hunt up Some Phoenix
member and purchase a ticket, and
thus assist in making their benefit a
most glorious one. - ‘ '

Will Be Dated.
Several of the leaders in the contest
for the EVENING GAZErrE’s piano have
cilled upon us and requested that we
return to the original plan of dating the
coupons, in order that each contestant
mil some knowledge of the
strength of the other. .
Upon consideration we have decided
have
to comply with their wishes, and will
on April 6th next, commence and date
the ballots each day as was done at the
opening of the contest, allowing one
week in which to deposit them.
We have set the date for the sixth of
April in order that all contestants will
have ample time in which to hand in
the ballots LOW out. After that time
no ballots will be received unless dated
as stated above.
______.,
Kentucky’s Humiliation.
In the history of Kentucky are sev-
eral occurrences of which Kentucky is
’or should be ashamed. Others of the
sovereign states of the Union are simi-
larly circumstanced so it is well to be
careful before pointing the finger of
scorn. But it does not now appear that
legislative conditions have been as dis-
graceful anywhere else, for some years
at least, as they have recently been and
still are in Kentucky. It is not difficult
to understand how the friction of prac-
tical politics generates warmth that at
times becomes excessive, but how men
Of state and national repute can permit
personal violence in their behalf to be
leveled at the state lawmakers is an un-
solved puzzle.
For several days the Kentucky legis-
lature has been apparently helpless in
the grasp of a group of thugs and pro-
fessional brawlers. , The civil forces of
the state have been either unable or un-
willing to crush the minature rebellion;
therefore Governor Bradley has or.
dared out state troops in such numbers
MS make it reasonably certain that fur-
ther interference with the legislature
villi be impossible. The situation is
wholly discreditible to Kentucky and
lo ,the United States. That troops
should occasionly have to take the field
against lawless people is not surprising,
. van in this land of the free, but it is
astonishing that the militia should our
he callel upon to quell a disturbance
arising from the intimidation of a state
legislature bv outside bruisers. -Small
wonder that Europe sometimes laughs
at our boasted civilization.
