“from LII'IIR.
Vultures, March 10th, 1884.

D“! Conn! :--The Tarff continues
the vexatious bugaboo that paralyzes the
progress of all needful legislation in the
Democratic House. The Ways and
Ileana committee have practically en-
dorsed the modified Morrison .bill by 'a
party vote, and it is expected that it will
0° “90"“! IO-day. The open rupture in
the Democratic ranks cannot therefore be
much longer deferred. It will not do,
however, for Republicans to rely for their
party success on this lively Democratic
quarrel that is sure to ensue. That party »
will tear out each others eyes, and then
go and vote the "regular ticket” with the
most amazing unanimity and promp'itude.
Their nominating convention to convene
in Chicago only 'four months ahead,
admonishes both the protective and free-
irade champions of that party to so Play
their double dealing parts as to work in
their presidential candidate next fall,
Mr._ Randall himself is sitting on the
barbed—wire fence, so to speak, as he has
the presidential bee in his bonnet, and
while radically and thoroughly for pro-
tection,ho‘must defeat his insane free;
trade colleagues by subterfuge and in-
direction, sons to escape their maladie-
tions. The protectionists may prefer to
content themselves with recording .a
protest and then put upon the Senate the

 

 

' duty of slaughtering the hill, hiding their

time, in the belief that the convention
will lustify their policy rather than that
of the Cordials-Morrison wing. In the
House the Randall faction are in ‘the
minority, but it is not at all unlikely that
the relative strength of the two wings
will be found to be reversed at the con~
vention, and if this is to be the case, it
woald be folly for the Randall men to
make the fight where they would he at
a disadvantage. The fight may be post-
poned till the convention, and in the light
of that fact it is worth noting that the
Randall-PayneTilden idea, as opposed to
the cherished notions of "the Kentucky
CTOWd," is gaining ground. It has won
several victories of strategic importance
recently, which inspire its supporters with
confidence that when the convention
adjunrns it .willbe seen that the ticket and
platform stand for the conservative ele»
ment of the party, and the Ohio or
“Estonian" plank as the tarifl feature of
the campaign platform. When an attempt
was made to force a vote to restore the
old tarifl on wool the Democrats forced
an adjournment and ran away. A few of
the more courageous of their leaders
demanded that the issue should be fairly
met and voted down, but these men could
not check the stampede-of the rank and
file of the party who dared not confront
and squarely fight down the proposition.
But the Democrats cannot hope to escape
the «tarifl issue altogether by running
away. This very question as to the res.
toration of the duty upon wool will con-
front them again. It illustrates the
troubles of the Democratic party with
regard to the tarifl. Mr. Converse is
pleaded with by his party associates no‘
to above that ugly question before them,
but he is not a free agent in the matter.
Bis constituents, as with one voice, are
demanding that he shall make the fight
for them, and a member of Congress must
obey those upon whose votes he depends,
even when that obedience embarrasses his
party. .

Again, a special effort was made to carry
the vacant 'Haakell district in Kansas
by the organised Free Tradersl Money
and speakers and the free trade printing
presses were turned loose, over that
prairie region, with the vigorous predic-
tion that it. would be overwhelmingly
carried on a "tarifi reform" war cry.
The election just held shows that even
agricultural Kansas is not disposed to
step out of the Republican ranks on the
tarifi issue. It had been claimed that the
election which was made to turn on this
question would justify the prediction
that on a tarifl reform platform several
other western states, heretofore Republi-
can, would become Democratic. The.

' Kansas election was regarded, therefore,

as of special importance as an indication
of the predicted change in public opinion.
The result is most discouraging to the
friends of low duties as a party cry. as
the district has gone Republican by an
overwhelmingly increased majority. in
spite of the earnest canvass by the free-

traders. ‘ '

The decision of the Supreme Court in
the legal tender case is one of prime
importance, though it will have little
practical consequence just at this time.
It finally disposes of the question Whether
paper Treasury notes are constitutional
money, by declaring that, under circum-
stances of urgency at least, they may be
so regarded. The decision will not lead to
inflation schemes, but it, in a measure,
ratifies theories which at one time threat-
ened much trouble, and may again.

The decision has excited much com-
ment and many dissenting views from
men here in Congress who are concededly
learned in the law. The very morning
the decision was rendered at the Supreme
Court room, Secretary Folger stated to a
Michigan congressman his personal belief
that the opinion of the court would
be just the reverse. Judge Folger,
as an erudite lawyer, is everywhere con.
sidered the peer of' any man sitting on the
Supreme court bench.

One of the interesting incidents attend-

ing the visit of the Senate's investigating

committee to Mississippi, was the tone

. Copiah in

of ridicule and incredulity indulged in.
by the conservatively Democratic Star
newspaper here. It jeercd the idea of
the Republicans attempting “to flaunt
the bloody shirt" again and that outrages
were liable to occur in the best of North-
ern counties, etc. Before the committee
has had time to issue its report and only
on the partial statements from Southern
newspapers, the Star makes this truthful
admission:

The most damaging testimony in the
vestigation does not. com'e from
but from Democrats.
Judged from the statements of friendly-
tileposed witnesses, and the evidence of
the parties most directly implicated, the
state of society in the region vislted rs
simply barbarous. Copiah county needs
missionaries fully as much as Borriaboola.
gha. The Republicans cannot . help
mulling good campaign use of the raves
ligation testimony, and they are indebted
to the Democratic witnesses for lbe most
striking evidence.

AT non.

To the large and influential company of
visitors now here from Connecticut, there
t been anything the past week of as
startling and stirring interest transpiring
althu National Capital as at the State
Capital at Hartford, and the sudden and
unexpected advent of Governor Waller
here on Friday, gave a renewed awaken.

and with undoubted candor. He greatly
impressed us that he was not overwhelm-
ed with a sense of admiration of the
“methods" of more than one Fairflelll
’county Democratic politician. He con-
fesses himself to have been outwitted and
lays the origin and blame of all his dis.
comforture to the charge of one to whom
it was apparent that the “emoluments,"
and not the “honors" of ofiice, are the
chief end of the man. The Governor
says he has nothing to dread from the
publication of his private letters. He
wrote nothing, said nothing, and did noth
last to shock or startle the ordinary can-

J didatc for office in the same circumstances.

Mr. Gallagher for funds to help the Gov-

the Democratic State Central committee,
without reservation or condition, and he
has no apologies to make to anybody. It
has transpired, however, that there was
avery pretty little family quarrel going
on among the “fare-handed" men" of that
party. At the first lacteal Barnum re-
fused to be milked, because he was disap-
pointed and chagrined at Waller’n nomi-
nation. Ex-Goveraor English was sour
and disgruntled for the same reason and
having been drained enormously on
almost every pretext for the Dem0cratic
cause, also resolutely refused to come
down. Lateia the canvass he did chip
in a couple of hundred dollars, whereat
the facetious candidate for gubernatorial
honors suggested it had better be return-
ed, as it might be with difficulty that he
could spare it,'he not being worth above
five millions. But true'to Democratic
instinct, Chairman Gallagher never re

turned a farthing. Altogether it is a pret-
ty Democratic fight, and as one of their,
number admitted in the writers hearing,
.“the Republicans seem to have ,our party
on the run." They may depend that all

- the signs of the times conclusively prove

that the Republican party will continue'
to “hold the fort."

The Hartford and suits.

An animated discussion took place in
the House, Friday afternoon, on the
petition of the Hartford and Harlem
railro‘ad for the privilegeé of making
certain connections with other roads and
to establish the legality of the coporstion.
Mr. Rrainard, of ,Hsrtford, chairman of
the committee on railroads, explained
why the committee had reported advanc-
ly. The committte found that the
commissioners after the hparlng had
grave doubts of the legality of the
organization which, if found to be well
founded, would terminate the existence
of the road. However, the commissioners
gave the company the benefit of the
doubt, believing that aggrieved parties
would appeal to the courts. Under allths
circumstances the committee felt that they
should not undertake to- decide the difii-
cult and intricate points involved and
which were soon to be passed upon by
the courts. They therefore advi'ed that
the petitionerrhave leave to withdraw.

Legislative ltsnrs.

Numerous petitions are pouring into
the Legislature for the bill for pecuniary
aid to disabled firemen.

The resolution appointing Then. 1. Ray.
mood, of South Norwalk, and Wm. [1
Law, of New Haven, state auditors,whicb
was passed a few days ago by the House,
was passed Friday in the Senate.

The committees are completing their
labors with'gre‘at rapidity, and most of
them will fiirslah their work this week.

Forty members of the Legislature, in-
cluding the committee on humans institu-
tions. visited the insane hospital at
Middletown, Saturday, and made an
inspection of the institution.

The lot Storm.

The ice storm which began Friday
night and continued until a late hour Sun-
day night, covered everything out of
doors with acoating of ice such as has
seldom been seen. The trees were
weighted down by a heavy coating of ice
and nrany of them broken. Considerable
damage reulted t , elephone and telegraph
wires, commni on. with neighboring
towns being entirely out ofi'.- The effect
produced yesterday morning as the sun
played and sparkled upon this crystal
mass, was a beautiful sight such as is sel-
dom fnraished to the eye.

' Governor 'Wallsr's Opinion

The following item appeared in the
New York Eesm'n' Post's Washington
correspondence of last Saturday: Gov.
Waller, of Connectict, who is here, is
quoted as expressing great. dissatisfaction
with the Democratic conduct of affairs in
Washington, and as saying that the
Democratic House had done nothing but
to show unfitness to control public affairs
and that, probably, Connecticut will give
5.000 Republican" majority next fall. The
Baltimore Amrfean,Repnblican.is author-
ity for this statement.

as the premium list has been completed
the number of judges in each class has
been increased to live, and greatenru has
been taken to select persons competent,
and those who§will give personal attention
to the duties of their appointment. An
adjourned meeting will be held at Mr.
St. John’s to arrange speed premiums and
appoint committees, on Thursday this
week, and it is probable that a distinct
committee will be chosen for each day,
thus doing away with what the public
have been inclined lp consider, in years
past, as too much exclusivencss in horse
matters. .lti the arrangement of the
programme for each day care has been
taken to avoid those interminable delays
in the speed classes, that have lrorctoforu‘
been so wearisome and vexatious to those
looking on, enough speed and exhibition
classes having been added to fill _up the
allotted time. One of the, new features
will be running races, both on Thursday
and Friday; and exhibitions of private
teams and equestrianism, for which suit-
able discretionary premiums will be
awarded. Application has already been
made for large exhibition spaces in the
building, and the prospect now is that the
exhibition will surpass any heretofore
made in the county. The directors voted
to admit children attending the public
schools in the county at ten cents each on
Wednesday, and the programme for that
day is much nrore attractive than on the
same day herclof ire.

 

First Church, Norwalk, Cons.

This church, under the pastoral care of
Rev. C. II. Everest, has received a large
addition to its numbers of late. (in the
first Sunday in January sixteen were
brought in, by profession, and at the
March communion thirty, besides four by
letter. A considerable proportion of this
last accession are men in active business,
banking. manufacturing and mercantile,
and one is a physician; This ancient
church (organized in 1058) has enjoyed
many precious seasons of revival. The
records prior to 1807 were lost in the
destruction of the parsonage after the
death of Rev. Dr. Burnct, in 1806. After
the installation of Rev. R.-R. Swan,
January, 1807, 28 were added that year,
by profession; in 1808, 80; in 1800, 25,
one of whom survives, in her 96th year;
in 1810, 27; in 1816, 191; in'1829, under
Rev. Sylvester Eaton, pastor. 88; in 1881,
under Rev. Henry Benedict, pastor, 107;
in 1884, under Rev. Edwin Hall, I). D.,
88, and in 1887. 27 ; in 1840, 22, and in
1842, 30. In 1857 the publication of the
annual record ceased, but there have been
special ingatherings since that iirne.-

A Valuable gut.

The Travelers Insurance company, of
Hartlord, Conn” whose graceful tribute
to the American press, the engraving of
the "Representative Journals and J ournal-
ists of America,” was last year given such
wide distribution..are now giving further
proof of their artistic enterprise. This
time they have brought out a special
edition for the press, of the official cn_
graving of the collossal French statue of
Liberty, as it will appear on the gigantic
pedestal now being erected for its
reception in New: York harbor. above
whose waters it will next year raise its
flaming torch to more than double the
height of Niagara Falls. This ofiice has
received a copy of this interesting work
with the compliments of the “Travelers,”

High License. .

In argument before the legislative tern-
perance committee for the higher license
cause, Ben. L. D Brewster, of Danbury,
argued that those who paid high for liceu
sea 1th in self-defence see that the law
was enforced and would act as police in
the trade. He said the eflecl bf high li-
cease was towards temperance. Citing
Danbury as an illustration, he said that
place had now fifty or sixty saloons. The
local police cannot look after them all to
see that the law is properly executed.
Pass a high license bill and the numth'
would be so reduced that real supervision
would be possible. He cited reports to
show the emciency of high license law.
