' The Skies Brighten. As the campaign increases in inten- sity business continues to develop in- creasingly. This is a new experience in political campaigns, for which we should be duly grateful.—Boston Globe. Yesterday’s City Meeting. The City meeting held at the Opera House yesterday p. m. certainly gave a very high expression of esteem and . confidence in- our newly re-elected Mayor and board of Councilmen, by -the votes passed leaving the important and costly matters of widening and paving Wail street, entirely to their good judgment and discretion. So strong was the conviction that the best thing would be done for the tax-payers and the public, that all opposition, if any there was, failed to manifest itself. Indeed, every one present, seemed to wish the important improvements made, but as earnestly desired, that no tax levies should be made until next spring. In answer to the question, as to what portion of the expense of widening the Bridge, the two tramway companies would bear, City Clerk Lockwood stated that both companies had acted fairly in the matter of the Mill Hill improve- ments and he did not doubt but they would. do so in this case, but if they failed, then the city would collect from them all that the law would permit. ——————‘.’———-— Simply Frightful. - It is very deligh z'ul to come across a morsel oftlurid rh’etori‘cnowand then. One ought to breathe a miasmatic fog once in a while in order to properly, ap- preciate the fresh air. We find the fol- lowing in a Canadian paper: “Let us no longer lose any sleep over the threats of the United States. They are themselves on the verge of disrupg Within twenty years we may see the octopus split up into two or even three republics, and then there will be so much fighting between themselves that they will have no desire to twist the lion’s tail or infuriute the Canadian beaver.” . Isn’t that delicious? So we are going all to pieces, are we ? There will not be a rag nor a tag nor a bobtail left of nsin twenty years. How awful ! How- ever, our demise will send a thrill I f satisfaction through the editor of this Canadian paper, and that perhaps is worth dying for. When we are broken all to smithereens, we shall not be able to twist the British lion’s tail any more, not a' twist, and that, quoth he, is a consummation devoutly to be wished. But how will the poor lion feel? His tail has been twisted by us so often that he will sort of miss the pastime. Dear old America l It is really too bad. But, then, possibly, this Canadian editor is as untrustworthy as he of Issues Place. Who knows? We may be a little old- fogy and perverse, but we are inclined to the belief that this great country will continue business at the old stand for twenty years; several times multiplied, no matter which party manages to get the offices here, or how much. croaking our 0 .nadlan neighbors may indulge in north of us. .._.. Private Rights Protected. It has been clearly and finally de- cided by the Supreme Court that the license laws have no reference to pri- vate houses or to clubs. Though this would seem obvious, and the county courts have generally so ruled, yet the subject has been so variously mud- dled that the lucid and comprehensive opinion of Justice Dean, in the case of the Livingstone Club of Lehigh county, which incidentally defines the whole scope of the license laws, is important and valuable says the Philadelphia Times. Says Justice Dean: “These laws regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors; there is no hint of a purpose to restrain and regulate use of them by private citizens in their" own dwel- lings.” To the excepted classes— minors, habitual drunkards, etch—aid. upon the excepted days—Sundays and election daysbno man can lawfully sell l or furnish for use as a beverage any in- toxicating liquors. The unlicensed cannot, for the traflic is wholly forbid- den to them; the licensed cannot, for ' the express exceptionis made in their license. To sell or furnish liquors con- trary to these exceptions, is a misde- meanor, and the law cannot be ' eva’ded by furnishing liquor to customers on Sunday, to be paid for at another time, [or by a candidate opening a free bar on election day and furnishing liquor to voters. The whole “speak-easy” busi- is thus completely covered.” ' .But, the Court continues, “if One chooses to supply his own table with his own liquors, for use by himself, his family or his guests, on Sunday, there _ is not now and never has been any statute forbidding him to » do so. Nor is there a prohibition of the use of liquor in clubs, any more than there is a" prohibition of its use in a family, or anything thatcan be deemed as requir- ing that a club shall be licensed. Liquor is not sold in a club, where the members are all owners of the property in equal shares, and the one who con- sumes his share and that of others who do not drink liquor, simply puts back the value of their shares in the com- mon treasury. This is not a sale, but a distribution of common property.” Of course this is said of bona fide clubs, not of unlawful sales under the assumed title of a club; but the distinc- tion presents no real difiicnlty, and this authoritative decision will ' put an end to much needless and annoying agitation, while at the same time it strongly affirms and clearly defines the actual purpose and broad scope of our license laws. ' DECISION---Centinued. people on the work being done about the city and on the Mill Hill improve ments. He was, he said, in favor of going ahead with the work as early as practicable. The past action of the Council was warmly commended by Messrs. Keeler, - Gray and others. . Mr. Byington asked what part' of the proposed improvements the street railways would pay "in the condemns-a tion proceedings. He also congratular ted the Mayor and council for having convened the meeting in such a pleas- ant place instead of at the Town House barracks. . The city attorney said that he could not give the amount, but that the citi- zens might feel assured the Mayor and Council would do their duty in the premises. _ ' Mayor Wheeler in behalf of himself and the council thanked the citizens for the confidence they seemed to have in the doings of that body. And then he adj turned one of the pleasantest, most important and har- monious city meetings ever held in Norwalk. . A few years ago nearly all newspapers published, at this season, recipes for summer complaints. Now such items are seldom met with. Publishers have learned that there is nothing quite as good as Chamber- lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea. Remedy for these diseases and as it is in general use everywhere they have quit publishing these recipes. No one havin a. bottle of this remedy in the house nee fear an attack of bowel complaint. It can always be depended upon and is pleasant and safe. For sale by E. P. \Veed, Druggist. —<-.- —Advertise in the GAZETTE. n... Cutting Remarks! A Good, Warranled AXE for $ 1 . O 0.
