THE WEATHER—Forecast for to-
day, clear, warmer weather and fresh
to light northerly winds, will prevail,
followed by cloudiness in the northern
district. On Fuday partly cloudy to
cloudy weather will prevail, with; slight
temperature changes, winds becoming
northeasterly and probably increasing
to a dangerous force on the coast, with
the northerly advance of a West Indian
, cyclone; and on Saturday cloudy

The GAZETTE is booming B. S. Keith
for selectman. Mr Keith declares that
he is not a candidate. Evidently the
GAZETTE has it in for Captain Ike. who,
notwithstading reports to the contrary,
should be nominated for re-election
this fall. $32,000 in one year is quite a
saving in our town affairs, and another"
year ofeconomy is just what Norwalk
needs—Sentinel.
The GAZETTE is not “booming” Com-
rade Keith, Capt B'etts, or any partic-
ular one of half a dozen others whose
names are mentioned in cgnnection
with the Selectmen’s oflice. The voters
of the town will select and elect the
candidates they prefer,desp1te what any
of the newspapers may say. The pres»
ent board has done amazingly well, and
the tax-payers gratefully recognize the
fact, yet it is within the possibili ies‘
that they may have equal confi ience in
some one outside our present board, it
so and so, be the nominee or nomlnees,
are for honest money and such protec-
tion as will give our idle toilets em-
ployment, the GAZETTE will not be ex-
celled by the ‘Seutinel or any other pa-
per, in giving such candidates a vigor-
ous and hearty support.

England on the Nile.
John Bull,

solation. The Turkish question is
bothersome and the situation even
humiliating, but the British-Egyp'ian
exped1tion has taken Dongola and there
is apparently n ithingin the way of the
occupation of Khartoum and the con-
quest of the Soudan. There are those
who cannot see the necessity or utility
of these proceedings or even the glory
to be derived from them, but there will
be great rejoicing none the less at this
triumph of British valor. The Turks
are defiant and the Russians threaten-
ing, and if even the Boers are trouble’
some it is something to have frightened
the Dervishes.
The ostensible purpose of this expe-
dition up the Nile Was as a diversion
in behalf of the Italians. These have
since abandoned their efi‘orts against
Abyssinia, leaving Meneleck free to
turn his attention 1n the other direction,
and there is no longer any concealment
of the real purpose to occupy the Upper
Iliuu; 11 feeling rather
Nile region for the greater security of -
Egypt. ‘ 1
The English originally went into
Egyt on the pretense of preserving
order. Once there,'they have remained,
and while their occupation has been
unquestionably of great advantage to
the country and 'to civilization at large,
it helps to: explain why the other
powers, and particularly France, are
not inviting England to preserve order
in the Levant.‘
It is, idle to find fault with the
British, talent for occupation. Any
other European. nation would be glad
to do the aims thing it it could, and it
is England’s success in colonial admin-
istration compared with their own fail-
ure that makes many of the Continen-
tal nations jealous of her. Russia has
a similar talent, though exercised in a
difi'srent way, by military expansion
over contiguous territory, and in the
Turkish problem the adVantages are
all on Russia’s side. But France, Italy
.and Germany have all tried their
hands at distant conquest and have all
made conspicuous failures, and they
naturally object to Englind’s vsucé
msses. " For this reason, among others,
the Nile expedition contributes noth-
ing to relieve the tension at Constanti-
nople or to mitigate the “isolation” of
which the English complain.

Election History.
John Y. M’Kane was one of the mas-
ter political bosses of Brooklyn. He
ran elections" to suit himself; he ran
contracts entirely in his own interest,
who pleased him, defeated whom he
hated, and, like all such political lead-
ers, he became arrogant in h' ‘7 ”‘umed
omnipotence. ' ~
A New York journal commenced the
exposure of his frauds and crimes, and
the hissed contempt at the effort of the
supreme master. He hurled a $100,000
libel against the newspaper that had
the courage to be just to itself and just
robbing and defrauding.
To his amazement, thenewspaper
was not silent but became more earnest
crime, and before three months had
passed he was a convict, Wearing the
stripes of Sing Sing Prison.
The name of John Y. M’Kane had
almost been forgotten in the charity of
the community during the years he has
been devoting to prison life, but his
the people by an application for pardon
based uponthe ground that his health
that no interest 01 justice could be
served by his continued imprisonment.
The New York j iurnal that exposed
him and finally drove him into prison
stripes was the World, and the sequel
of this oft-repeated history is given in
the magnanimity of the great newspa-
per that unhorsed the defiant thiei by
stating that it “bears no malice to this
broken-down man."
A’ Minor Coniioi‘t o"! I'Llfe. _
“Among the minor and yet blissful
comforts of life,” said Mr. Billtops, “is
undoubtedly that of pulling up the
blanket for the first time after a long-
continued hot spell. You have lain swel-
rtering and uncomfortable night after
night, and then comes a. night ‘cold
enough for a blanket,’ wind out. from
the northwest, skies clear, stars bright
and twinkling, and all life taking on a
new aspect. ‘And it’s ‘cOid enough for
a blanket.I Humphl It almost seems
as though it was worth going through
that hot weather just for the fun of
the first cool nights.”
