The Reporter’s Pay.
The GAZETTEhad not intended to re-
ply to the several criticisms on the
compensation voted to the reporters
at Hartfond, as the majority of those
newspapers who shouted the loudest
had in years past been the first to
gather in the appropriations, and as
their cry of distress was only echoed
by smaller journals without influence
or popularity enough to have their ap-
plications honored for a seat on the ice
wagon, but as there have been so many
untruths published, especially regard-
ing Senator Kéeler and the GAZETTE,
we deem it a duty to those interested to
reply.
The letter in last night’s Sentinel
over the signature of “Anti—Steal,”
the writer being too cowardly to pub-
lish his name for fear of his own record,
was the worst that has yet appeared.
It was composed of a tissue of falsehoods
in so far as this paper and Senator
Keeler are concerned, and nokone knew
it better than the anonymous writer
himself.
When the anonymous “Anti—Steal”
implies that Senator Keeler, (he ap-
parently was afraid to give Mr. Keeler’s
name,) “voted in favor of one so-called
reporter, knowing that he was an im-
poster,” and that, “he knew he was not
entitled to it,” he deliberately lies.
When he asserts that the
“during the entire session never re-
reporter
morse-”diasingle'line of legislative news,”
When he asserts that
the GAZETTE “never printed any, ex-
cept an occasional paragraph clipped
from an exchange,” he lies,again.
As far as Senator Keeler is concerned
he was asked to recommend the report-
er, and having the interest of N orwalk
ever at heart, which no one will deny,
he did so, and the place came to New
walk instead of going elsewhere as it
would hdve done. As to what :vork the
reporter did for the GAZETTE and the
interests of N orWalk, Senator Keeler
isas ignorant as the Sentinel’s anony-
mous newspaper correspondent. IVhen
Senator Keeler voted for the resolution
he simply followed in the footsteps of
his predecessors, who represented N or—
walk in the Senate before him, and we
might add, they were pretty good men
too. and were never accused of stealing,
As far as the GAZETTE is concerned we
have no apologies to offer-,but sincerely
regret that our smaller contemporaries,
who would have been willing to have
had their representative appointed, are
jealous of us.
Come up to the top neighbors and sit
eside the EVENING GAZETTE, the only
eight-page one cent paper in the Nor—
walks.
_.__....,__.
Our Growing Commerce.
Owing to various causes, some of
which are doubtless of a temporary na-
ture, the commerce of the port of Phil-
adelphia for the first five months of the
year 1897 has exceeded that of any like
period in any former year of the city’s
history, says the Philadelphia Times.
The increase in petroleum exports over
the corresponding period of the pre-
vious year was more than 27,000,000
gallons; the corn exports reached 12,-
867,656 bushels as against 3,660,549
bushels for the first five months of
1896; the wheat shipments increased
about 300,000 bushels, while the imports
of sugar have been unprecedented.
With the big refineries running at
the ir full capacity, the storage facili-
ties have been taxed to their utmost.
The large imports of sugar are doubt-
less due to the expectation of a. new
tariff bill imposing higher duties, and
this particular item. of the present in-
crease in the commerce of the port may
be very properly looked upon as excep-
tional and temporary. But the steady
growth in petroleum exposts and the
important increase in grain shipments
are indicative of a permanent increase
in our export business, due to juster
riilway freight rates than 'in former
years and a growing confidence in the
future commercial prosperity of the
city. The harbor improvements now
in progress and the certain prospect
that we will soon have a deep water
channel to the open ocean have doubt-
less contributed in some degree to this
gratifying exhibit.
In spite of these statistics of increas- ‘
ing commercial “activity, which cannot
be disputed or argued away, there is
less noticeable activity about the river
front than there was half a century ago,
and those who allow themselves to be
impressed by surface appearances might
easily be led to suppose that we were
passing through an unusually dull com-
mercial season. The difference is that
one mammoth steamer carries a cargo
of from 3,000 to 6,000 tons. ' Fifty years
ago one of these modern cargoes would
have furnished freightage for a dozen
sailing vessels. The loading and un-
loading is done now by modern machin-
ery, thus doing away with the services
of a large number of stevedores and
other wharf hands. A much larger
amount of freight is handled than for-
merly, with less appearance of bustle
and activity.
The day of small vessels and old-fash-
ioned methods of handling the com-
merce of the port is gone, never to re-
turn, but the real increase in the amount
of business done at the city’s wharves
should be permanent, and will be, if
our commercial interests arewide awake
and alert to make the most of their
steadilysincreasing commercial facili-
ties. With modern
river deep enough to float the largest
steamers at any stage of the tide, the
big steamers will come here to discharge
wharves and a
their cargoes and carry away new ones.
Commerc1al prosperity IS already at
our doors and will become a permanent
guest if invited to stay.
AA;
FEMININE CHAT.
One never fully appreciates the sun-
shine until after a period of rainy
weather.
Acold in the head at this season
means a warm weather siege not to be
desired.
The masculine straw hat, like a pre-
sumptuous mushroom, springs up after
the rain.
The coal men have been smiling
triumphantly, but the ice man’s turn
is coming.
The daisies which the summer
boarder raves over are raved over as
well by the farmer, but he uses a dif-
ferent form of expression.
Why is it the small and very fat-
children with scarcely any waistline
perceptible are always weighted down
by fond mammas with broad sash rib-
bons?
Men and women may pretend to be
merely friends, but when the man calls
the woman “sweetheart” one cannot
help being just a bit suspicions that
the friendship is not absolutely
Platonic.
It is the lace on the summer frock
that makes it expensive. -
The black silk gown is gaining in
popularity .
Some women are so clever with the
needle that they can begin and finish
an organdie frock in one day, while
others less skillful have to wait the
pleasure of modistes who think it all
right to give them a summer gown
when the snow flies.
Why is it when we are happiest that
our sense of content is rudely broken
by some prosaic happening, such as the
presentation of a bill or the knowledge
that our most becoming gown will not
get home from the dressmaker’s on the
day we wish it?

A LONG DRINK.
Rather Expensive to Supply a Camel with
Water at Eight Ce: ts :1 Gallon.
The great scarcity of water in West-
ern Australia is well known. Twenty-
five miles from Kanowna the author.
of the Land of Gold had this experi-
ence: “XVe had now to halt to fill our
water cans and give the camels a
drink, as there would be no possibil-
ity of letting them have their fill again
for some days after this. Having had
a sort of farewell civilized meal atone
of the hotels, I strolled down to the
condensers, where my camels had pre-
ceded me. Little had I imagined
what eight cents per gallon for water
meant when I told the men to give the
animals ‘as much as they could drink.’
I do not believe I am an inhuman
man, and I feel sure I am as fond of
animals as any one; but I must con-
fess that my kindly feelings went
down to a very low ebb indeed as I
stood there watching gallon after gal—
lon disappear down the apparently in-
satiable throats of the animals. I for-
get for the moment how many dollars
this long drink cost me, but it certain-
ly was the biggest teetotal drink I
have ever paid for. I learned after-
wards that it was a. month since the
poor brutes had had a drink, as they
had not been working during that
time, and when out at feed they never
require water,‘ it appears. However
true this may be, they undoubtedly
make‘up for it when they get a change
at somebody else’s eXpense.” . a
