EDITORIAL LETTER.
Wasniao'ron, Jan. 21st. 1888.
Dina Gass'r'ria :—The sincere selection
and complimentary election of Senator
Anthony as president of the senate, and
thus, under the law, making him the act-
ing vice-president, had a touch of genuine
pathos in it. Mr. Anthony would have
been the unanimous choice for the place
at the last session, except that hie
re-elsction intervening, the possibilities
ofabreak is the succession had to be
considered. Under the circumstances he
himself, as earnestly as any other senator,
urged the surer wisdom of Mr. ldmunds’
selection. Mr. Edmunda had no ambition
for the place, but was willing to hold it
ad interim till‘ his elder friend in senatorial
service from Rhode Island should re-
Oappear with the commission of his state
for his fifth consecutive term. This Mr.
Anthony has done. but by an adverse fate
his health had become so impaired that
he himself, as clearly as any associate,
again saw the uncertainties which in con-
sequence might environ the chief magis-
tracy of 'the nation. He therefore ex-
pressed his distrust of the wisdom of his
selection, but he wasflunanimously nomi-
nated in the senatorial republican caucus
and elected president of the body.
Having thus unsolicitedly been honored
by the high position he at once rose in his
seat and declined to serve, and on account
of his feeble health asked the election or
another. Naturally, and most appropri-
ately and aecoptably to‘the country, Mr.
Edmunds was re-elected. This ends the
public interest in this phase of our
presidential contingencies, until such time
as Mr. Eaton’s, or some other committee
or person, shall prepare a law to (govern
and control such exigencies in our chief
rulership.
'rn iaitxroax “start.
The senate had the Mexican treaty
under consideration all last Week. A vote
was reached Friday evening and failing
ofatwn-thirds vote. it was lost. The
fear seemed to be that by adopting free
interchanges 'of commodities with our
sister republic we should thereby open
the doors for Ingland and all the world
to smuggle goods in upon us through
Mexico. A. critical examiiration of the
treaty, as taking along step towards free
trade and possibly the annexation of
Mexico, led many senators to hesitate and
finally oppose its adoption. There is no
doubt that it would prove far more mis-
chievous than beneficial to the trade
interests of our country, although tobacco
and sugar would just now, be most
seriously aflected by its adoplion, but be-
sides local oppositiou from the sugar belt,
the leading protectionism of the senate,like
Morrill and Sherman, antagonize it on
principle. The tari! feature is the only
one that meets with serious objecticu.
The chief gainers by the treaty, at least
directly and immediately. will be the
Great Trunk railroad lines, which are
pushing down into Mexico. and seeking
to build up a profitable carrying trade
between the two countries.
It is within the probabilities that a new
treaty will be prepared, in which the
serious objections of the present one will
be avoided or more dexterously concealed.
Our country has heretofore been very un-
fortunate in treaty making experience with
foreign nations. By some strange fatality
we always seem to get the hottest and of
the poker.
PENSION runs.
The bill introduced by Senator Cock-
rsll with regard to the fees of attorneys
in pension cases provides that where a
,written contract is entered into between
the claimant and his attorney and then
submitted to the commissioner of pensions
.for his approval, a fee not to exceed 825
may be paid, and that in cases requising
extraordinary labor on the part of the
attorney and the expenditure of money
to perfect the case a contract‘may be
entered into subject to the approval of
the commissioner for the payment of a
fee of $50.
ros'ran ransoairn.
Senator Hill's speech in support of his
postal telegraph bill, delivered in the
senate last Monday, is'the most elaborate
and exhaustive argument that has been
made this session in either house, in favor
of giving all the people of this country
the use of" the telegraphic system of
sending intelligence as freely and cheaply
as it now does the facilities 'of s'ehding
letters or postll cards. Senator and
President of the Senate Edmunds made a
very able argument before the senate
committee on postoflces and postrosds,
Thursday, in which he conclusively
proved the‘constitutional right of con.
gress to provide telegraph facilities for
the people just as freely as it does mail,
facilities. He opposed the purchase of
any existing lines and favored the adop-
tion of all that was newest and best in
modern elecuicai and telegraphic appli-
ances. When the masses of the people
some to know that they can transmit the
substance of their ordinary letters now
sent by mail, over the wire for a cost of
from three to five cents per message,
they will very soon clamor for the chance
to use this modern agent for the more
rapid transmission of information.
Another goal will result in limiting and
curbing the arbitrary powers of the
greatest and most arrogant monopoly on
the globe to-duy—the Western Union
Telegraph company.

Senator Btck has introduced a bill
identical in its provisions with _that intro-
duced in: the house by Mr. Willis, of
Kentucky, to provide for the extension
for two years of the bond penod on dis-
tilled spirita in warehouses on Decembe;
1, 1888. The whisky inferests must be
attended to by the leaders of the democ-
racy, whether any others are or not
Were the national banks in as close
alliance with the democrats in congress
as are the whisky men, there would be
little difficulty in gelling all their burdens
of taxation and sptcial restrict.ons re-
lieved. . .

Representative Abram S. Hewitt has
the largest capacity of almost any man
in public life for getting into trouble.
Some of his own friends Were indiaerect
enough to say that Hewitt requested the
privilege of introducing a fellow mom
ber's bill (intendedfito give expression of
this nation‘s repugnance at the indecent
haste in which O'Donnell, a naturalized
American Cullen, was hurried through a
trial and executed by the English gov-
ernmeut) so new make him more “solid”
with the large numbers of Irish voters in
his district. This is generally acceptcdas
the true reason for his having introduced
said bill. It has since transpired that
the same evening he went up to the
' British Minister’s house and there or;-
plaiscd that the resolution really didn’t
mean anything. but was a bit of innocent
buncombe, etc. The British Minister
was so impressed with the apology that
he cabled Mr. Hewitt’s remarks to Lon.
don. They-were brought to the attention
of the American Minister, and cabled
back to our state department, where some
newspaper wise-acre got an inkling of it,
and Mr. Hewitt has been dancing on a
hot shovel ever since. But a man whose
mental steadiness is such that he could
certify as genuine the bogus Garfield
Chinese letter, and could work and vote
for free trade except in articles in which
he was personally interested and who
could write a tariff letter an evenly bal-
anced between protection and free trade,
as he has recently done, must expect per-
plexities.
POOR rasnm‘rox. ‘.
Senator Pendletou takes his defeat
very sorely to heart, but what could the
poor man expect after having aided in
passing a civil service bill, with a direct
tendency to prohibit his famished party
from seizing all the Federal offices in théir
unpromlsing advent to power. His demo-
cratic fellow senators tried to give him a
homeopathic dose of soothing syrup by
v0ling for him for president of the senate.
Although . this was a kick in the face, to
the Ohio democracy, it will not go for
anything more than their ordin‘ary politi
cal “buncombe.”
Pos'rar. mavemm.
A statement based upon the returns
from 140 pustofilces, which usually return
one-half of the postal revenues, shows
that the gross receipts for the quarter
ended Dec. 81, 1883, were $5,753,876.
This is a falling of from the receipts dur-
ing the corresponding quarter in the pre
vious' year of $183,854, or 1 3 10 per
cent.
eflect during this quarter, the returns
were awaited with anxiety by poatai ofil-
cials who were in doubt in regard to the
efect of the reduced rate upon the reve-
nues of the department. As a loss of 5
per cent in the revenue had been expect-
ed, these returns are very gratifying, as
they indicate that the department will be
in receipt of a revenue snfilcicnt at least
to meet its expenses during the present
fiscal year.
Brooklyn shows an increase over the
corresponding quarter in 1882 of $5.051.
Cleveland of $8,381, Washington, of $5,?
374, and Buiralo of $9,076. The New
York office collected $1,197,305, a de-
crease of $25,318; Boston collected 8406,-
784, a decrease of $10,455, and Chicago
collected $518,730. a decrease of $11,281
when compared with the second quarter
in the preceding fiscal year.

city on the twenty-third instant. The
matters set for discussion are interstate
commerce, electric communication, the
trade dollar, civil service, state taxes
upon commercial travelers, American
shipping interests, and the securing of
such provision as will permit the presi-

The name of Robert W. Shufeldt, of
the navy, who was so long a resident of
Stamford, was on Friday sent into the
senate for confirmation as Rear Admiral
and the name of Commander Francis M.
Bruce of our state was sent in for confir-
mation as captain in the navy.
The state department is in receipt of
the following death notice by cable:—In
Florence, Italy, of typhoid fever. on the
16th of January,,1884. Sarah D. Waring,
daughter of the late George E. Waring, of
Stamford, Conn. ’ '
Mrs. Senator Hawley is reported as
still unable to walk without her crutches.
Her sister is here with her. She was
assisted at her last public reception by
the ladies of our representatives Seymour
and Mitchell. The Star says that a
pleasant feature of the occasion was the
visit of the Chinese minister, Cheng Tsao
J u, with his attache and interpreter.
After conversing awhile with the ladies,
and at their invitation, they entered the
back parlor and purtook of some tea in
native fashion, without cream or sugar,
complimenting the hostess by many nods
and smiles upon its excellent quality and
aroma. .

The Presbyterian of Philadelphia has a
two and a half column letter from Paris
in which our distinguished townaman is
thus' spoken of. “The church of the
American Chapel has been fortunate in-
deed in securing such an cfiicient and
acceptable pastor as Rev. Dr. Beard.
He only preached his first sermon as
minister in charge last March, but in six
months has won a reputation here for
pulpit ability and wise executive manage- .
ment that more. than justifies his selection
for this post—a position that can offer
but it pastoral and precarious support
Everybody here understands that Dr.
Beard responded to the Paris call simply
from a sense of duty. He had carefully
studied the question of French, evangeli?
zation, and came with a true missionary
spirit not only to serve the American
Chapel,but to serve France. And it is
surprising how, in 'six short months, he
has made his presence felt. His name is
pronounced everywhere with utmost re-
spect. All look upon him as it thoughtful;
prudent, earnest Christian man—perfectly
transparent in character, thoroughly
equipped for his work and profoundly in
earnest about it. Surely the church at
home will see to it that the sacrifices such
a man makes for the privilege of holding
up Christ in Paris shall not be greater
than can be helped. Wilh all its draw-
backs it is not putting it too strongly to
any that the American Chapel is univer-
sally regarded here as the most successful
and'efiicient‘forcign church in Paris."
Methodist Ohurch Supper.
The annual suppef of the Second M.
113 church opens at the Opera House this
evening and continues to-morrow even
ing. An interesting musical and literary
programme has been prepared for each

assist in carrying it out. Supper on the
European plan will be served from 0
o'clock. Admission 25 cents.

nothing but some cold‘ coffee. With a
fearful oath he said she must let him
have some victuals. She was speaking
at an open window. The fellow pulled
out a revolver, pointed it at her, and
said: ‘I would blow your brains out if
there wasn’t something wrong with the
trigger of this pistol.’ Mr. Cook’s rifle
'waa in the room. Mrs. Cook at once
seized this, pointedjt through the window

weapon, and if you don't disappear at
once I will pull it.’ His trampsliip

Wanna, in the Providence of ch

Resolved, That we commend him to other
churches as an able Christian minister, above
reproach; a faithful teacher of the truth as it
is in Christ J sous; one who has brought forth
from the treasury of God’s word things new
and old in word and doctrine; a sincere lover

During the seventeen years of his minia-
try with us, 439 persons have united with his
church, of whom 257 have been by profession
of faith. .
If called to other fields of labor, our
prayers will follow him that tho presence
and b.essing of our Lord Jesus Christ may
abide with him and crown his efforts with
success. 0 '

5 A Sunday Morning Blaze.
: In passing the residence of Mr. Chas. J.
I Hill, on West avenue, about 4 o'clock
Sunday morning, Ofilccr Ritch‘s attention
was attracted by a noise in the rear of the
house. Proceeding to investigate , the
cause. he {discovered that the house was
on fire, and was requested by Mrs. Hill
to sound an alarm. The firemen re-
ponded, but finding the hydrants frozen
were unable to render much assistance.
Mr Hill in the meantime, had attached rt
garden hose to a faucet on the premises,
and extinguished the flames. The fire is
supposed to have originated from a
defective flue. Mr. and Mrs. Hill were
awakened by the crying' of their infant
child, and so ,rliscovered the fire. The
damage was slight.

The Connecticut Slate Library. '
The Hartford Times says the State
library has now the largest and best col
lection of law reports and statutes .of
other states in any library in this country,
with the exception, perhaps, of the New
York state library at Albany. This is
the chief specialty of our State library,
and its completeness is due to a careful
System of exchanges, though some of the
older reports have been acquired by pur-
chase. The Legislature provides for these
exchanges, and appropriates $500 every
year for the general purchase of books.
Next to reports and statutes it has seemed
desirable to add to the library the writ-
ings of American statesmen, and of these
there is already a fine collection, to which
additions are constantly making. It is
designed to furnish all that is needed for
a full history of American politics. The
library is very rich in ConneCIicut history,
though no efforts are especially made in
this direction.

18 Just as certain here as anywhere. The growth of Norwalk for the past
ten years, compared With the neighboring towns of Bridgeport, Danbury
and Stamford has been slow,but what it has gained it has every appearance
of greepmg. Our pulpits are-all well supplied, our stores all occupied
11111. ‘1 mgrre wanted, our dwelling houses are all rented. our factories all
1311 y usy, and a. marked tendency is seen toward a. growth together of
orwalk and South Nor-walk which will ultimately compel the union of
.the two places, which should have occurred years ago With a. confi-
dence in the) future of this town, justified by an experience of many
yiarsé and increqsed by a strong conviction that our national motto "E
pl on us Unum will apply to the railroad plans already broached, and
that the resounding whistle of the locomotive will wake us to renewed
life, and actiVity before another winter, I place before you my regular
annual announcement of stock for the opening season of 1884, simply

SHINGLE S.
It is just as easy to tell what is in a barrel by looking at the outside,
as it is to tell the quality of shingles by lookinz 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
this, market and as a. natural result, I sell more than all others put to-
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
secured and can be secured only by the humid a reliable maker, as
very many are taken in from country mills and sold under a single brand
by a. grocer or furmsher of mill supplies, who never owned a mill or
made a shingle. I have seen thousands of these shingles sold here in
this market. I offer
87,000 XXX “Climax" sawed shingle, kiln-dried.
