Following the bad example of the Norwalk democracy, Tammany Hall has run up the free silver, flag for Bryan and Sewall. Forcing Bad Money. Good money will always “go” of itself anywhere. It will pass current wherever the people have the necessary intelligence to discriminate between good "and had money. It is only had money that has to be forced into .circu- lation by legal enactment or the arbi- ’ trary edicts of absolute monarchs. Here " rare a'few illustrations: When the Russiam government was " using marten skins, which had a value, as money in its eastern dominions, it got short of funds on one occasion, cut off the scalps of the martens, and com- pelled the people whom it owed for labor or materials to take a scalp for a whole skin. This was little more dis- honest than what it is now proposed that our Government shall dov-force 53 cents onto creditors in payment of 100- cent debts. .0.- Words of Wisdom Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler concludes a vigorous article in the “Independent” on “Conscience in Politics,” with these words:— This whole nation is now in the “storm center” of violent controversy over vital and fundamental questions. The principal of universal suffrage has not been subjected to so severe a strain during the present generation. Thirteen millions of electors are called upon to settle momentous questions which de- mand a clear head and a clean, cour- ageous conscience. Denunciation is no substitute for solid, kindly argument. It is worse than idle to stigmatize whole masses of our fellow countrymen as “fools” or “fanatws” if we do nothing to set them right. We are all in the same boat; and God will do nothing to Save a repu'Ilic whoae best citizens drop their cars, and whose worst citizens throw conscience overboard into the 1593. +.____ Effects of Free Silver. A debased or fluctuating currency leads inevitably to inflated values and instability in prices. Capitalists hesi- tate to invest money in anything, and especially to engage in industrial pur- suits the products of which may one day sell at a fair profit and the next day at a great loss. The results are a hoard- ing of money, high rates of interest, scarcity of money, industrial paralysis and idle men and woman everywhere. In Richmond, Va., toward the close of the rebellion, a pair of boots cost $100, payable in the debased, discredited and flucating currency of the Confederated Government. But even this "fancy” price friled to encourage capitalists to embark 1n the manufacture of boots and shoes. Their money was safe in bonds, in bank or in their pocket. The chances were dead against it being tied uplia shoe factory. Kate Field’s Body. Word comes from Honolulu that Miss Kate Field died in debt, and that there has been no final disposition of the body, letters sent to America by re- quest of the dying woman meeting with no response. This adds another tinge of sadness to the ending of this dis- tinguished woman. The only person in the United States who seems to have had an interest in the dead woman was Miss Lillian Whiting of Boston, who wrote requesting that the body he sent to America for interment beside that of Miss Field’s mother. But as Miss Field left .no funds, and there is no .’provision for defraying the expense of transfer, the, body will doubtless re: main, for the present at least, in a for- eign land. Certainly it should not .re- main there for long. Miss Field had been a consistent and efficient laborer, not only fer her own sex but for the cause of mankind in general, and means should speedily be found to. bring her body home and give it at least respectful burial, if not the burial to which her work and talents entitle it. Where are all the woman’s clubs, that areldoing so much for foreign missions and other noble enterprises, including, tthe release of Mrs. Maybrick. that they can do nothing ‘ for the brilliant Kate Field? And if anything is- to be done. the work need not necessarily be confined to woman’s clubs. .0. A STORY OF SUCCESS. What the “Musical Idea” Says of Dwyer’s City of Norwalk Band. The following signed article appeared in this month’s issue of the Musical Idea, a journal devoted to the interest of bands and publllhed at Greenville, Tennessee: “This more than flattering notice serves to illustrate that talent and good worth will not be confined. It should certainly give an impetus to further improvement in the band itself, and make the people of Norwalk feel proud in the possession of a band that can command such favorable notice from those capable of judging. “Five years ago. twenty young fel- lows “got together,” and organized a band known as “Dwyer’s City of Nor- walk,” so named from its founder and organizer Mr. P. H. Dwyer,a prominent citizen and musician. “The instrments having been secured through the per- sonal efforts of Mr. Dwyer by popular subscription, and allotted according to fitness, the newly organized commenced operation under the direction of Mr. Thomas Hope, an English Army band- master. “To draw you through the ways and trouble of the first year’s work, really the most difficult and critical, would be cruel indeed; suffice it to sry that three months from date of organization, the boys made their initial appearance in a march of four miles. “This was indeed for the “rawies” a momentous occasion and one which they now recall with pleasure. All waited in suspence, instrument firmly grasped and heart thumping audibly; when at last the drum signaled the start- ing tap—tap—tap—tap—tap, and with wavering step but courage enough, the march began. A few hundred yards to accustom the boys to the step and then the leader’s teet—teet followed by the bur—r——r—rup of the drum. “ l‘hey’ re ofi‘!” “Ten minutes of awful energy and then—but why need I say praise, the crowd clapped and shouted, and hur- rahed itself hoarse; no more doubt or anxiety now; success was assured and courage firmly planted. “This was five years ago; well I re.- member it. and the present Dwyer’s City of Norwalk Band is ranked among the foremost bands of western Connect- icut, splendidly equipped both as to uniform and instruments. With the finest band-room in the state and the boys improving weekly, Dwyer’s City of Norwalk Band has every prospect and opportunity of becoming the fore- most organization of its class in the state. In fact it has been spoken of as the regimental choice of the 4th Regt. C. N. G. “MARK QUOIT.” NORTON roseovsnnos. Socialist Convention Delegates Choose a Bridgeporter to Head the Ticket.

Frank Agan, the fast pacer who won the greates“ pacing race of the year, in Cleveland, Sat urday, is owned by Nich- olas W. Hubinger, of New Haven, and it is stated that the horse won $7,000 for his owner in the race. Agan was ridden by “Knapsack” McCarthy. It is the third race he has won this year out of five. He was five years old last spring, and his best prev- ious record was 2:05? He made 2:04 Saturday. A Speedy Boat. Interest in aquatic circles has been awakened by the arrival at Stamford, of the Penelop 9, a new catboat, built at Clinton, for Dr. T. V. Ketcham, after plans by Theodore Ferris, one of Cary Smith’s designers. She is 32 feet over all, and carries 900 yards of rising sail. The Penelope, local yachtsmen say, can beat any craft of her inches that sails the Sound, and they are im- speed. Sad Drowning. A son of the late President Watrous of the Consolidated, was droWned on Saturday, by the overturning of a canoe not yet been recovered. The young man was to have entered Yale this fall.
