The selection and appointment by the South Norwalk City Council of Dr. W. J.'.l‘racey to be health officer of that municipality, was an act worthy of all praise. It shows that the council were actu- ated by a courageous desire to select a physician who had already shown his determination as a health ofiicer here to do his whole 'duty, without the fear or favor of any man. Norwalk has never had so conscientious and thor- ough an oflicial in that most important department, and the GAZETTE most heartily congratulates our sister city on its good sense and good fortune. c The lEtna Life. The 47th annuall,,statement of the iEtna Life Insurance Company, pub- lished in another column, will give gen- eral satisfaction to its numerous policy holders and the friends of the company.- Notwithstanding the general depres- sion in business of every description in 1896, the Elana Life added another re- markable year to its success. By ref- erence to the statement it will be ob- served that it made large gains in every department. It is a notable feature of ~ the Etna Life,—and, so far as known to us, unparalleled in the history of life insurance,—that it has increased its ' dividends to its policy holders, without interruption for twenty-five consecutive years. The reputation of the ZEtna Life, for safe management and fair dealing, gives it favor with the. Public at large. Its character is established and its prosperity assured. Annoying Disorimina'tions. Is it not getting to be almost time For some vigorous action, relative to the policy of certain European coun- tries toward American products? It is, and long has been, a policy of annoy- ing and ir-j irious discriminations, os- tensibly based On non-existent condi- tions. The American hog, the Ameri- can bullock, the American sheep—each of. these has been maliciously assailed, and, when vindicated, hasibeen assailed with fresh clamor. And now the Ameri- can horse comes in for a share of the . pretty but costly annoyance. A tele- gram from Berlin has announced that the Agricultural Department of Prussia has ordered that horses imported from America should be detained and isola- ted eight days at ports of entry, and after that, and the indorsements of veterinary surgeons, they might be sold. or sent inland. It isa fact known in Europe, and clearly understood by the authors of these persistent tfi'orts to promote the interests of European States by irregular and offensive meth- 11115, that the healthiest cattle, hogs and horses in the world are those of the United States. There has been no ground for the severity of the restric- tions adopted. The explanation of the almost barbarous warfare is a desire on the part Of European governments to cater to their own agricultural inter- sets. They cannot exclude American meats because the home supply is in- sufficient, and because such a course Would create more dissatisfaction than they care to face. But they long since round a way to hamper the importa- HUD of our cattle and dressed meats, "hid they have kept at it. The opposition to American horses grUWS out of the fact that they are coming into more general use in European cities than heretofore. The proposed detention for eight days will . add to the cost of the animals and di~ :ninish profits. It is utterly needless, for the reason that all animals shipped agricultural lrom our ports are under sanitary ex? amination and care every hour of the passage, and the trip almost always does them good. we hOpe it will be found possibleto put an end to these discriminations. 'lhey’ are getting to be too seyere atax on the good na. ture of a friendly nation. ~ l . 9 ouino TIIE iiriiiiiio. . t The Symptéms of Ear Troubles. ' A Worcester Man’s Escape From Deafness.
