EDITORIAL LETTER.
Wasnrxc'ron, Jan. 13th. 1883.
DEAR GAZETTE :——-The election of a
democratic senator in Ohio to succeed
“Gentleman George” H. Pendleton, fills
an unusual amount of newspaper and
. personal gossip in Washington as well as
in Ohio, and indeed all parts of the
country. The democratic Post here does
not mince matters, but talks right out in
meeting and charges its partygfriends in
Ohio with having yielded to the basest
motives, and to corporations, and lavish
monied influences in their selection of
Mr. Paine. The Post tersely and bravely
says :—“The worst elements of partisan
politics, with corruption and treachery
and bribery as their chief auxiliaries,
have come to the front in Ohio.” The
worst part of the accusation is the proba-
bility of its entire truth. But then
the Ohio democracy cast their ablest
legislator aside, and ~retired Senator
Thurman, because he fought the railroad
monopolies so relentlessly, and now their
pretext is that they crucify Pendleton
because, as a member of their legislature
is reported to have said, he really believes
in the Civil Service bill. It is not an
inspiring or ennobling thought to the
honest men of that party that they have
elevated Mr. Paine on the music emitted
by the jingling coins of the great Standard
Oil company monopoly. But the old and
trite proverb comes in pat and aptly :—'
“Whom the gods wish to destroy they
first make mad.”
TIIE TARIFF.
In the house the democratic managers
are moving about the tariff on tip-toe for
fear of a jar and crash. Indeed, the
weaker protection wing of ‘the stronger
free trade element of that party are fairly
haunted with fears of a revenue reform
or free trade explosion. In the senate
there is more caution, more conservatism,
and really more courage. Thursday,
Beek of Kentucky and Maxy of Texas
put their foot squarely into thefree trade .
pic, without an apparent thought or care
that the senate and country were looking
on. The ablest and ever ready little
Senator Frye, of Maine, took it all in with
zest, and replying to their unqualified
free trade and anti-protection utterances
said he was delighted to hear the opinions
of the other side of the chamber expressed
so unreservedly for free trade. He hoped
he would hear other senators of that side
expressing themselves to the same effect.
There had been some doubt for some
months past as to just where the demo-
cratic party stood in regard to free trade.
PATENT MATTERS.
The house committee on patents have
authorized a favorable report. on Mr.
_Vanee’s bill providing that no person is
debarred from receiving a patent for his
invention or discovery, nor shall any
patent hereafter granted be declared
invalid by reason of its having been first
patented or caused to be granted in a
foreign country unless the same has been
introduced into public use in the United
States for more than two years prior to
the application. The senate patent com-
mittee, at its meeting Thursday, author-
ized Senator Platt to report to the senate,
S. 540, which is a bill to exempt from
penalties the innocent users of a patented
article. It was very elaborately discussed
by patent lawyers at the last session, but
failed to become a law because of reach-
ing the house on the last day of the
session. The bill is one that will chal.
enge much comment, both favorable and
unfavorable, among the owners and users
of patented articles and their attorneys.
TEE PBESI‘DENCY OF THE SENATE.
A caucus of republican senators was
held Thursday afternoon, immediately
after the adjournment of the senate, to
consider the expediency of proceeding at
once to the election of a presidient pro
tempore. Senator Anthony was the
unanimous choice of the last caucus, and
would have been renominated before this
had his health been such as to. render it
possible that he would be able to dis-
charge the duties of.the position. There
was a long discussion of this phase of the
question, and at its close a committee
was appointed to confer with Sepator
Anthony and ascertain his views with
regard to the matter. It is stated that no
one appreciates more the delicate situ-
ation of aflairs than Senator Anthony
. himself, and it is very probable that in
the event that the voice of tbo’caucus
calls him to the chair of the presiding
officer he will, after thanking his col
leagues for the great honor done him,
insist upon tendering his resignation, to
take effect at once, or upon the selection
of his successor. With this conditionof
things presented there is some speculation
as to who will be presented for the posi.
tion. From the utterances of a number
of leading republican senators it is
inferred that the name of Senator Sher-
man will be brought forward, in which
eyent it is thought that he will be the
choice of the caucus. Another caucus
will be held early this week. Senator
lngall's name is alsofreely used in con-
nection with the position. He is not as
old in the senatorial service as Senator
Sherman, but is claimed to be amore alert
and ready parliamentarian.
CATTLE runners.
The committee appointed at the con
vention of cattle men recently held in
Chicago to prepare a memorial 10 Con-
gress setting forth the loss and damage ;
to the stock interests by reason of
contagious diseases that exist in this
country, and to suggest such legislation
as is deemed best calculated to protect
such interests, held “,their meeting at the
departmentlof agriculture. There were
present as members of the committee,
J. Wilson, Colorado; D. E. Salman,
District of Columbia; D. W. Smith,
Ilinois; J. B. Gi‘inucll, Iowa, E M.
Hunt, New Jersey; N. M. Curtiss, New
York; G. 3. Lawrence, Pennsylvania;
J. M. Carey, Wyoming Territory; D. C.
Ayies, Wisconsin, and E. W. Babb. West
Virginia. -
To this committee were added Senator
Miller, of New York, :ehairman of the
senate C'Immitlee on agriculture; W. H.
Hatch, G. W. Dibrell, E. W. Winans,
William Cullen, James Wilson, T. P.
Ochiltree, T. Williams, W. J. Green, L.
H. Weller, of the house committee (in
agriculture; L. McLean, of Brooklyn, N.
”L; E. B. Thayer. of Massachusetts; C.
B. Sabin, ‘of Texas. o
Senator Miller said that the trouble
heretofore in securing legislation upon
the subject was because there had been
no concerted action upon the part of the
.state. He thought the senate was ready
.and willing to pass any message that met
rtbe approval of the country.
I
~ Commissioner Loring informed the
committee of a communication from
Minister Lowell to Secretary Frelinghuy-
4 ling of parliament Earl Dalhousie would
offer a resolution tending to facilitate the
; importation of American cattle. The
communication also said that the earl had
found himself embarrassed by the admit-
ted existence of pleuropneumonia in cast-
ern states.
Mr. Moffett, London agent of the dc-
partment of agriculture, who is here on a
leave of absence, said that, should Earl
Dalbousie offer such a resolution [as con-
templated, :anothcr, having an entirely
opposite view, would .be submitted by
some other members of parliament.
A subcommittee, consisting of Senator
Miller, Representative Hatch, and Messrs.
Curtiss, New York; Carey, Wyoming;
Hunt, New Jersey; J. B. Grinnell, Iowa;
D. W. Smith and Commissioner Loring,
was appointed to consider all subjects
before the committee and formulate a bill
for a law.
aonrounmn. -
Major Dodge, the able statistician of
the Department of Agriculture, in the Do-
cember report of that important bureau of
the government gives an unnnswerahlo
argument in favor of the advantages to
the farmers of the United States, by the
development and encouragement of menu
factoring industries, all about them, thus
.' reducing the competition in the lesser
numbersof persons seeking livelihoods by
titling the soil and by creating home
markets for their products. He gives
clear and unanswernble tabulations show-
ing that the value of lands and the value
of products raised upon the lands are
greater in all communities where there is
o non-agricultural population. Thus
lands in Virginia avenge, as per the last
Pennsylvania they average 849.30. Vir-
ginia produces crops worth $180, while
the Pennsylvania fafuior gets 8431. He
proves from the census of 1880, that the
cultivator of the soil receives always and
everywhere, n larger income from an
annual crop of higher value, whenever
and wherever there is an increase of non-
agricultural population over that of the
tillsrs of the soil. Without
a word of reference to the questions of
tariff and protection .to American labor
and manufactures, Major Dodge provos
beyond the possibility of successful con-
tradiction, that the American farmers are
as directly henefitted by that system of
production, which encourages the em-
ployment of laborers in other fields than
those of agriculture as are the owners of
mills andrmnnufactories directly compe-
ting with foreign lnborsrs and foreign
producers of imported goods. We advise
every farmer to send a postal card to the
department of Agriculture and request a
copy of this December report. It will
abundantly repay careful and thoughtful
reading.
TOBACCO.
The tobacco growers ofioentral New
York, of Connecticut and southern Massa-
chusetts are greatly exercised over what
they believe to be an erroneous and un-
just ruling of the Treasury department as
to the rates of duty that should be levied
upon Sumatra leaf tobacco. Col. E. N.
Phelps, and L. B. Haas, of the Connecti—
cut Tobacco Growers and Dearlers Com-
mittee, have been here the past week and
spent an evening with Senator Plntt, ex-
plaining their grievances. The Senator
satisfied himself of the soundness of their
positions and went with General Hawlcy
before Secretary Folgsr, the next morn-
lng. and made a very able, and as it is
said, convincing argument. on the side of
his constituents. The Secretary with»
holds his decision, but the committee left
hopeful that justice would be done them.
Mr. Corning, of the Bridgeport Bronze
Monumental works, visited the Secretary
of War, with our two senators last week,
with a view of inducing him to adopt
their manufactured bend-stones for the
graves of our dead soldiers now lying
in the nationslcemeteries.

The House adjourned from Thursday
over to Monday, and the Senate from
Friday evening to Monday.
The national democratic committee,
which meets in this city on the 22d of

for holding the national convention this

In the supplement to the Hartford
EveningJ’ut of Wednesday, we find the
following mention of our town represen-
tatives in the legislature:
Geonou R. Cowmis has represented the
the past three sessions. His election for
the fourth time is an exceptional honor.
The only time in the history of the town
when it has occurred before, was when
Mr, Win. 111. Betts was elected represen-
tative for four successive years, from
1799. With this exception, now eighty
years ago, Mr. Coivles is the only man
the people ofNorwalk have united upon
to send four terms consecutively. Last
year Mr. Cowles was House Chairman of
the Committee on ,Incorporations, and in
1882 he was the CLairman of the Claims
Committee. In both of these positions
his services were of notable value. He
is careful, painstaking, and conscientious
11. his legislative work, and his views on
questions of public policy are well
founded. Mr. Cowles was born in New
Hartford, and is fifty-seven years of age.
He graduated from Williams College, in
the class of 1845, and studied law in the
ofilce of Chief Justice Butler. After
two year's practice at the bar, his health
failed, compelling him to retire from
active work. , Subsequently be engaged
in insurance business, acting as agent for
a number of Hartford companies, includ-.
ing the Etna, the Hartford, and the
Phoenix. In 1860, on the incorporation
of the Norwalk Insurance company, he
became the secretary and still retains the
position. He is actively interested in local
affairs, recently holding the ofilce of bur-
' gene of the borough of Norwalk. In pol
, itics Mr. Cowles is a republican.
l member of the House last year, and also ;
in 1882. rendering efficient service in
support of the interests of oystcrrnen in
Fairfield county. He is an able and
forcible speaker, and his speeches on
questions affecting rhe interests of his
constituents were lisleped to with marked
attention. 'He was a member of the
Committee on Continuent Expenses,
serving with keen discrimination and
judgment in that capacity. Mr. Bell
N. Y., and is forty-seven years old. He
received a good common school crlucu
tion. He was appointed by Governor
Andrews, 11 member of his commission
for revising the oyster lawr, and is
thoroughly popular with his constituents.
He has held a number of local offices, in
cluding that of justice of the peace. In
po‘litics Mr. Bell is a republican.

The Georgia grangcrs have furnished a
notable illustration of the benefits to be
derived from the practice of the free
trade theory. They sell their young
cattle to Texas drovers and afterwards
buy them back in the shape of Chicago
, packed beef. This promotes trade and
l commerce and is a good thing for the
Texas drovers, the Chicago packers and
.the railways, but it is a policy which will
keep the Georgia granger’s noseto the
grindstone for all time to come. It is
the same policy which our free trade
friends wish the United State to adopt,

; ton street, at sunset, (several hours
later) none as far as the eye could reach
had followed his example, and but two
or three occupants of ibuildings on West
Washington had the hardibood to clean
the snow from in front of their premises,
the others probably being engaged in such
meditations as the day called for; and in
consequence of such timely thoughts. the
people that pass up and down these
streets will not miss the usual slippery
walks that are sure to follow asnow or
sleet fall.

SHINGLE S.
It is just as easy to tell what is in a barrel by looking at the outside,
5 as it is to tell the quality of shingles by looking at the outside of the
bunch. And yet nine-tenths of the shingles are bought from drummers !
Without being seen until delivered. I think, I sell the best shingles in 5
this market and as a natural result, I sell more» than all others put to- i
gether. I seldom buy without a personal examination of the mills, the
mode of manufacture, the standard of inspection and sorting, and the ;
stock from which they are made. Then the uniformity of the grade is I
secured and can be secured only by the brand of a reliable maker, as i
very many are taken in from country mills and sold under a single brand 3
