TUESDAY,
GOOD EVENING.
It was a greatlmeeting.
APRIL 11, 1899. ‘
I Consolidation is dead for years to
come. , ‘
What killed it is clearly understood
by its friends.
' It is a significant factvth'at not a
N orwalk man spoke for consolidation.
Mr. Light’s vote against consolida-
tion was a girprise to those who
thought him sincere in his advocacy of
\
Jere Donovan’s allusion to that in-
which Gladstone
sharp
tellectual disease
thrust and hit the mark.
Asa presiding officer who can re-
peat a motion verbatim, Gen. Frost is
the most successful occupant of the
chair we have seen at a town meeting.
The defeat of consolidation was what
might have been expected under the
circumstances. Our friends in South
Norwalk are opposed to it, and the
residents of our outlying districts are
also Opposed to being dragged into city
limits, fearing an increased taxation.
Another factor which operated against
consolidation was the newspaper abuse
heaped upon those who opposed- it in-
stead of publishing the advantages to
be derived from a greater Norwalk.
As the matter now stands consolidation
is dead for years to come, andthe town
will drag along in the same old rut
harboring two little inoffensive cities
in a'territory that would make one in—
fluential city. No public buildings will
grace our streets, and the jealousies
between the two-sections will still con-
. ’
tinuc to ex1st.
A
‘
Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the pub-
lic to know that one concern in the
land who are not afraid to be «1 ene1 ous
to the needy and suffering. The pro-
p11eto1s of Dr. King’s New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds,
have 01 1ven away over ten million trial
bottles of this g1 eat medicine; and
have the satisfaction of knowing it has
absolutely cured thousands of hopeless
cases. Asthma. Bronchitis. Hearse-
ness, and all diseases of the thr,oat
Chest and Lungs are sul ely cured by it.
Call on D1 uo or1s1 John A. Riggs, 1]
Main street, and get a free trial bottle.
Regular size 500. and 81. Every bottle
, guaranteed, or price lefunded.
THE OTHER FELLOWS.
One juror in the Guilford murder trial
has been taken serioumy ill. The pub-
lic is also getting sick of the case.—
‘Watcrbury Republican.
The caterers are now quoted as say-
ing that it 15 impossible to get up a
dinner for a dollar a plate. They 111e
unmindfulof the facr. that the lunch-
cart man put-s ’em up for ten cents.—

TheN ew Haven Couit of Common
Council will wait a long time before it
grantsa permit for a new telephone
company, however, rosy its promises
to string new wires for its owu purposes.
We have just buried one set. The de-
mand' is for more burials and no resur-
rectiOns. —-New Haven Register.
In Union there is strength—the'Dan-
bury Democrats “pulled together” and
carried their city election; the Stam-
ford Democrats pulled apart on the sil-
ver question. and were defeated; the
Bridgeport Democrats did not divide
on national issues, but were sorely split
upon personal questions‘and consequent-
ly met with defeat.- It isn’t necessary
to appenda. amm al to the story. —Bridge-
port Farmer.
Editor Wells of the Waterbury "Re-
publican will deny himself many bouts
of sport. His own legislature Orde1s
that more than thirty trout captured
in a day is too many for any one fish-
erman to capture. So the editor makes
the solemn pledge not to violate the
new law, “although it will require
much self-restraint on our part.” In
these days of fish st01ies and big catch
of trout, we command the Waterbury
scribe’s noble example to all Connecti-
cut editors—Hartford Times.
The thirty. trout limitation for fish-
elmen is not yeta law, it seems, not»
withstanding it has passed both houses.
3 The gown-.101 has not yet signed it, al-
thOugh it is morally certain that he.
‘will do so. For the time being, it is
safe to catch more than thirty—if ou
cam—but ~1't is questionable taste to
countthem before they are caught.—~
