Mayor Wheeler’s Mes’sage.‘
The Message presented to the city
council at its meeting Monday night
and published _ in' thesellcolumns on
Tuesday, was a (paper of more than
average or passing interest. i The
recommendations therein made, involv-
ing a considerable cost to our taxpay-
era, are nevertheless in.the direct lines
of a wise economy.
,One of the vexatious and dangerous
problems _ menacing beautiful
town for years. has hippily been solved
in a most satisfactory and very gener-
ally acceptable manner, in the improve-
agent now going on at Mill Hill. The
repaying of Wall street from the post-I
office up to Mill Hil', is now the logical
duty of the city authorities, it backed,
our
as we have no doubt it overwhelmingly I
will be, by their masters, the People in.
public meeting assembled.
The widening of Norwalk Bridge, is
another factor which safety to our c:ti-
zone and to visitors fr 1m other localities
driving into our town to trade at our
city places of business, demands to
be given immediate consideration and
action. There is but one feasible way
to accomplish this, and the Mayor has
definitely outlined it, chtly though it
may be. ~
Following all this, comes the further
serious fact, that large numbers of our
worthy laboring men, are in imperative
need of work for the support of then -
selves and families and if their willing
hands are unable to get the work, they
crave, there is but onealternitive, the
public must supplym that necés=ary
support by taxation. So .that Mayor
Wheeler, clear headed business man as
he is, has hit the nail square on, the head,
, when he suggests the Napoleon plan of
eruploying such men in needed public
improvements. - ' "
So far as human foresight can scan'
the future, this work can in all prob
ability be done at a far less cost this
fall and winter, than at any other time.
It is greatly to be hoped therefore,
that some means may be devised by
which a low interest bearing loan may
be provided er which will justly put
some equitable portion of the cost of
these needed improvements upon future
Ias well as present taxpayers. ‘ '
What Railway Statistics Show.
The general condition of business
in any given year is usually reflected
in the railway traflic of the country.
This is manifested in two particulars—
in the carrying business, freight and,
passenger, of the railwaysjin operation
and in the amount of the annual in- .
crease in railway mileage. In the lat-
ter particular the variation in recent
years ranges between 12,878 miles in
1887, when railway building reached
high water mark, and 1,638 miles in
1895, the lowest point reached in 30
" years, or since 1865, the year the war
.. closed and everybody was Welcoming
the return of .peace and getting ready
' to build railways and develop the re-
s: urces of the country.
These figures, which are taken from
the advance sheets of Poor’ s Railway
Manual for this year, furnish an uneir
ing index of the general business pa-
raly sis wrought by the confusion and ,
uncertainty wlich have grown out of
the free coinage agitation. Even
though there had been no decrease in
the carrying business of the railways
already in operation the uncertainty as
to the future would have been sufficient
to make capital timid about investing
in new enterprises under conditions
that made it practically impossible to
forecast the cost of operating railways
or the cfi‘ect of new financial conditions-
upon the carrying trade. .
This evidence of the paralyz’ng efl'ect
' of coinage and currency agitation in re-
ducing the annual increase of railway
’mileage to~the lowest point since the
)close of the war is made all the more
' . convincing by reference to the passen-
ger traffic for the past year. When
business is good people travel both for
business and pleasure; when it is had
many who would otherwise travel must-
.. or three days.
remain at home and others who must
travel w111 reduce their railway jour-
neys to the minimum. The number of
passengers carried by the railway
systems of the United States during
the past‘five years were. as follows:
1891, 399,564,341;, 1892, 422,894,800;
1893, 441,908,116; 1891, 408,302,687; 1895.
336,625,325. In other words, while
railway mileage and population ‘have
been increasing the railway travel of
1895 fell to the lowest point in'fiv‘e
years. The earnings from passenger
trafiic reflect the same conditions. I ”The
gross passenger earnings for 1891 were
$222,216,766, for 1892 $229,463,449, ' for
1393 $242,531,676, for 1894 8213 377,022,,
and for 1895 only $195,226,460. -«
In view of these fi;ures it is Ismail
wonder that railway owners and inves-I
tors are against any further disturbance,
of our coinage system, or that Jrailway
employee are organizing for sound
money. The profits of the one and the
employment of the other depend upon
sound, stable business cond.tion’s.
Such conditions do not and cannot exist
in a period of financial uncertainty.
There will be a revival in railway travel
and in railway business of every kind
when it is definitely determined that a
dollar will be'worth One hundred cents
and not before.
The Happy Home.
The Rev. Dr. Cuyler in the New York
Ledger writes: Where lies the sorest
sorrow that disturbs the heart-peace
and spoils all the lustre of worldly gains
and honors? It is the .worm that lies at
the root of the home life. It is of little
account‘to a man to be prosperous in.
his' store or his ofiice or his pulpit if he
be matched at his own hearthstone.
0n the other hand, a. wife can bear any
social neglect, any stroke of adversity.
and even to be ignored by society, if
her husband is loving and her children,
affectionate and obedient. But a hus-
band’ s unkindness' is a dry sorrow that
drinks her heart’s blood. Our severest
and most cruel wounds are those in- ,
flicted by the hands that ought to clasp
our Own most closely. , Wedlock. as
many‘ofI us can testify, means the
sweetest joy that earth can know; but
woe be to that home whose worst ene-
mice are they of one’s own household!
Good Philip Henry said that he and his
wife adopted a rule that , only one of
them would get angry at the saine‘time.
That “scotch'ed’? the serpent of conjugal ,
Anether equally good rule '
.is to allow fifteen minutes before fiy
quarrels.
reply is made to an irritating utterance.
All this sort of little vipers in the home—
nest that are fatal to domestic happi-
*"ness- can only be exterminated by per-
sistent, devoted, unselfish, forbearing, . ..
all- -conquering love.
You May Swallow fleeches.
What imagination will do, I can show
from my own experience. When a boy,
in the Pyrenees, I once drank frdm a.
spring, and saw, to my horror, when I
had already swallowed a. mouthful,
that the water was alive with small
leeches. I had a bad time of it for two
I firmly believed I had
leeches alive and sucking my blood in-
side me; I felt them. I became lan-
guid. I believed they would drain my
blood away. Happily, my father heard
what was the matter with me, and ex-
plained to me the cerrosive nature of
the gastric fluid, and assured me that
nothing living and of the nature of a
leech could resist it. “My dear boy,”,
said he, “from personal observation of
your proceedings at meal time, I am
convinced you could digest a pair 0t.
boots, and no leeches could stand a
moment against the fprce of your gas-
tric fluid.” I believed him, and forgot
all about my imaginary malady—Good
Words.
Experience Taiight Him.
The boy hung back when the visitor
spoke to him, and his mother was nat-
urally annoyed.
‘ Won’t you go to Mr. Brown,
Willie?’ she said.
"No, ” replied the boy shortly.
“Don’t you like me?’ asked Mr.
Brown, good naturedly.
