In his Speech in Cooper Union last week the anarchist discoverer of Bryan and the real leader of the camapaign of repudiation and riot could not con-, ceal his detestation of the American flag. Professional dissembler and trickster though he is, not all his skill and practice could restrain the passion that the sight of the emblem of his adopted country kindled in him. “This flag display,” as he called it, goaded him to frenzy. . His exhibition gives a new zest to the proposition made by Mr. Hanna, namely, that the last working day of the campaign, the Saturday before election, be made by common consent “Flag Day," and that every patriot who intends to vote for McKinley and sound money and American honor, put out his flag as for a national holiday. The suggestion is good in any case. The business men of New York are 20- ing to parade on that night one hun- dred and fifty thousand strong. Every piece of American hunting in Nor- walk ought to be out on that day. But since the anarchists, through Governor Altgeld, have shown their hatred of “Old Glory” now is the time to let them see what it stands for. “Flag Day” ought to be the day of days, in this exciting campaign. 0 Law of Supply and Demand. If people who think that prices—out- side of the influence of tarifi‘s—are reg- uiated by act of Congaess or by syndi- oates, or- other direct human agency, would pay a little bit of attention to the market reports they would relieve themselves of much perplexity. Look, for example, at the present enormous rise in wheat and the correspending fall in silver. They are quite'inde- pe'odent, and yet it is easy to see how each results from the same conditions. The great market for silver is in Asia. India usually contributes a considera- ble share to the food supply of Europe, and imports silver in exchange. But this year the grain crop is apartial fail- ure, and India not only can supply no wheat to Europe but is actually import- ing wheat from Australia and Cali- fornia. The world’s supply being thus diminished the price of wheat rises everywhere. At the same time while importing food, India mast import less silver, and the demand for this metal to exchange for Indian wheat is porportionately diminished- This occuring at a time when exports. of silk from China and Japan have fallen off, and trade with the Straits Sstllements is dull, has fur- ther depressed the market for silver. Thus, silver goes down, while wheat goes up, each independently of the other, but both because of‘the relations of supply and demand. The Horse Was 0n. “Did you give the horse the pow- der?”‘ “I tried to. I put the powder in the tin tube, forced open the horse’s mouth, put the tube in between his teeth, and—” “Did you blow the powder down his throat?” “No; I was going to, but the horse blew it first.” ;) Miss Cohpon’s Reply. Dick—“You told me yesterday that you had proposed to Miss Coupon by mail. Did you get any. letter in re ply?» Harry—“Yes; I got two letters.” Dick—“Then it’s all settled?” Harry—“Yes—yes, it is all settled. The letters were ‘n’ and ‘0’.” Giving Him a Lesson. Mother—It shocks me awfully, to think you took the'penny. Remem- ber, it is as much a. sin to steal a penny as a dollar. Now, how do you feel, VVillle? _W_illie—Likc a Chump! There was a dollar. right alongside the penny.— Puck Too many Christians pay the Lord in promises, and the devil in spot cash. , ->—— 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- , 'l'aln’s Colic, Cholera. and Diarrhoea Remedy for these diseases and as it is in general use everywhere they have quit publishing these recipes. N 0 one having a bottle of this remedy in the house need fear an attack of bowel complaint. It can alivays be depended ripen and is-pleasant and safe. For sale by E. “P. Weed, Druggist. “* WESTPOBT. A branch of the Mercantile Co-oper. ative Bank of New York, was organized here Monday evening, by Mr. J. H. Meyers, with the following officers and directors: William L. Coley, president; Elbert N. Sipperly, vice-president; John S. Jones, secretary and treasurer; E. M. Lees, attorney; Leonard H. Gault, William L. Coley and Charles Fable, appraisement committee; Wil- liam Edgar Nash and Rev. Kenneth Mackenzie, jr., finanCe committee; W. L. Coley, E. N. Sipperly, J. S. Jones, E. M. Lees, Rev. John H. Carroll, L. H. Gault, W. Edgar Nash, Rev. Ken- neth Mackenzie, Charles Fable, di- rectors. On Sunday evening, at her residence in Greens Farms, after a long illness, the death of Mrs. Mary Ann Elizabeth Bradford took place. She was held in esteem for her qualities as a neighbor, and church worker, and had a large circle of friends. She leaves a husband and three sons.’ The funeral will be held this afternoon, the Rev. Mr. Thompson officiating, and the burial will take place in Willow Brook ceme- tery. ‘ ‘ Selectman Robert H. Coley drove about town Monday, showing his newly . elected associate, Lewis P. Wakeman, , some of the features of the town high- ways which will need the board’s early. attention. The Saugatuck Manufacturing com- pany are now running on full time. The feature among their numerous new orders is campaign buttons. The W. C. T. U. will meet this after- noon. Rev. G. W. Barhydt of Christ church preached Sunday afternoon in Safe- guard chapel, Cross Highway, to a good audience. There is evidently an increasing interest in the services there. Mercury reached its lowest point this season on Monday night. The Greens Farms club held its first meeting since the summer recess, last night at the home of President John H. Jennings. “Jack and the Beanstalk”. There will be comedlans, comedian. use and soubrettes galore in New Ha- ven during the week of October 26, when Klaw & Erlanger’s monster pro- duction, “Jack and the Beanstalk,” will receive its initial presentation at the Hyperion. Beauty among the femi- nine contingency will reign supreme. This enterprising firm, which is new in the front rank of extravaganza mana- gers, knows the value of having pretty women in their productions. Among the forty odd ladies in the organization is Merri Osborne, who will assume the role of Little Miss Mufi'ett. She isa new addition to the ranks of burlesque but her beauty and figure together with her clever singing and dancing will make hera big favorite with her ' audiences. Norwalk people who desire to attend can take the 11;55 train from New Ha- ven after the performance. As this will be the only opportunity to see the pro- duction in Connecticut, no doubt a number from this city will attend. .09 —Advertise in the GAZETTE’ ’ Y THE EVENING GAZETTE CHECKER-BOARD BUSINESS DIRECTORY.
