EDITORIAL .
Wxsnntaron, Apnn. 7th. 1884.
Dun Gunmz—The whole of last
week was consumed, in the Senate, in
discussing the Blair Educational bill.
One of the most notable, if least legal and
logical, speeches was that of “Cero Gordo"
Williams of Kentucky. He antagonized
his colleague, Senator Beck, in to to, as '
he did several others of his Democratic
fellow senators, and supported the bill'on
constitutional, humane and patriotic
grounds. His experience had taught him
thatum intelligent negro laborer was more
valuable than an ignorant one. and on
that ground he deemed their education
through govermental aid. both a duty and
a necessity. Hc was'warmly 00ngratula-
ted by many Republican senators at the
conclusion of his forcible and, at times,
eloquent speech. I . ., . 3
Senator Randall Gibson, of Louisiana,
also addressed the Senate on the bill, and
fully maintained his old Yale college
reputation of being an eloquent and for-
clble speaker. But sad to relate for his
fair standing in the Democratic party.
Gibson is charged. with the heresy of
being a southern man and not a simon
pure free-trader. He is guilty of the
party treason of wishing the sugars of
Louisiana “protected," and protection is a
word that sends a rigor chill dewn the
vertebrte ofamajority of that party in
the present House; .Indeed the Tariff
question, like Banquo’e ghost, “will not
down,” and the Morrison free-trade men
on the one hand and the Randall protec-
tionists on the other are wrenching them-
selves all out of joint to patch up some
sort of a compromise which will satisfy
the party leaders, and throw dust in the
eyes of the rank and file of the party until
after the presidential campaign is over.
Many Democrats in the House now say
the easiest way to theat the people-will be
to vote all the Tarit legislation aside for
this session with a promise to take it up
at the next December session. The more
unreasonable free-traders of the party
say, "We have made a pledge that if we
carried the House we would pass some
Tariff Reform bill, and if we don’t our
broken promise is going to increase our
chances of defeat this fall, by increasing
the distrust already felt by so ' many or
our party followers." The most honest
Democrats we have ‘met admit their
inability to carry Ohio in October, and
say they have lost that state because the
party has not stood by its contract with
the liquor men and passed the Whiskey
Bonded Exemption bill. They accuse
those Democrats who voted with the
Republicans for the defeat of that wicked
measure, and thus secured its defeat, with
having brokc'n faith with the liquor men,
who contributed enormously to their con-
gressional election fund, and that the
party in the House has thus far done
nothing to commend itself to this large
and disaffected element in their party.
Verrily their campaign discouragements
are,very great. ,Four months of the long
session has passed, and thus far they have
succeeded only in making a)“mess of it."
The rum power paid its money into the
Democratic treasury, and kept its faith
with that party, but enough of the party
deserted it in the hour of need to carry
out the solemn compact, and thus their
, most powerful aid anti ally is estranged.
Randall has played the free-traders out of
the ring by his knowledge of the House
rules and skillful use of his Appropriation
bills, and even Mr. Carlisle is said to ex-
press fhe fear that the session is sure to
end in utter .barrenncss of results and
failure.
The exodus of free-trade Demo-
cratic congressmen Saturday, to.be pres—
ent at the Brooklyn Free-Trade club
dinner that evening, filled the slim "pro-
tective”clement oi the party here with
anxiety and justifiable alarm. Senators
Bayard and Peudleton, Senator-elect Joe
Blackburn, Representatives Tucker, Rum
and Slocum were among those who left
their duties here to more effectually com.
mit their party to the free-trade heresy.
It is needle-es to say that our Mr. Eaton
. was not invited to partake of these free
trade baked meats. Mr. Mitchell presum-
ably was, but didn’t go over, being satis.
tied with Bx-Governor Enfih’s hearty
endorsement of his free-trade vote given
for the Morrison bill, and the dispatch
rent by the ex—govcrnor in these words:
"I am in sympathy with the object of your
meeting, but I do not see how I am- to be
present with you, which I very much
regret."
Speaker Carlisle wrote: “I regret to say
that my official duties here will prevent
me from being with you. ‘You can‘ssfely
assure our Democratic friends that a great
‘majorily of their representatives in Con-
gress are determined to inaugurate the
policy of Tariff reform, to which we have
so long been committed as a political
party."
Senator—elect Blackburn, of Kentucky,
said he was an avowed and absolute free-
trader. _ .
ADJOURNMENT vanilla? nitrous ace. 1. ,
Senator Dawes, who 'has served on the
Appropriation committees of both Houses,
and who has been in Congress for years,
expresses the opinion that Congress Will
not adjourn before the let of August.
This seems to be the prevailing opinion;
All the Appropriatiou bills are behind.
Only one of any importance has yet
come. before'the Selllte- Senator Msxoy
has been in Congress through two presi-
dential election years. In 1870 Congress
adjourned in August, and in 1880,in July.
He does not see any prospect of adjourn-
ment this year before August.
The action of the House, Thursday,
notifies the country that the coinage of
standard silver dollars shall proceed in-
definitely at the rate of two million or
more a month. The vote was closer and
the excitement less than of yore. The
implacable silver men are almost all to be
found among the Democrats.
Warned by his pncticsl knowledge of
the nature of the HOMO, Senator Frye has
preferred that the Shipping hills, which
fia'é an advantageous standing there as
special orders, should be considered in
that manner first, and then be brought
before the Senate for its action. For that
reasmr he has deprecated taking up and
passing a Senate bill, for the reason that
the hundreds already passed by that body,
and on the Speaker‘e fable. might keep
the (location out of the Honreindefinilely,
Mr. Frye now seen! disposed, however,
to bring the matter up and let it. run its
chances “elsewhere." He may IECI That:
even as a special order the Shipping bills
' have. small chance of consideration 81 mil
session.
It is almost certain .tllatitbc House will
reach no important measures or general
legislation outside of those which have .
secured the right of way. The Appropri- I,
slums and Rewoufibills have that under I
the rule, and by order of the House eight I
or ten iptcini subjects are If) be given a :
hearing at the first convenient opportun. l
ity. Thus the prospects of any such out-
side measure. as the McPherson Banking :
bill, for instance, are very gloomy. It
may be that a public emergency or gm“
outside pressure may drive the House to
consider this or some other of the many
important measures now hung up to dry
on the calendars, butI in the ordinary
course of proceedings they will stay where
they are till they die of old age, on the 41b
of March, 1885.

The Senate committee on post offices
and post roads agreed, Friday, to report
favorably a bill to provide for the estab-
lishment of a government postal telegraph.
Senator Hill will report a bill providing
for the establishment of a postal telegraph
system, under the supervision of the
Postmaster General, who is to be author—
ized to enter into contracts for a term of
five years with telegraph companies
already organized, or which may here-
after be organized, for the performance
of the service for the government, and to
advertise for proposals from companies
now or hereafter to be‘organized for the.
sale of their lines to the government. It
provides that in the event of the failure
of the Postmaster General toIentcr into
any such contracts, or to purchase exist-
ing lines of telegraph, the government
,shall construct its own system of lines
and operate the same.
Tm: ranks ensues.
Senator Platt made an able and very
elaborate speech in the Senate on his
bill to make the U. 8. Patent ofiice an
independent bureau. His ' facts and
figures showing what the patent system
and the inventive genius of our people has
done for this nation is deeply significant.
He estimates two-thirds of all the property
values of the United Slatesto be traceable
to patentedfnventions. Q In the last sexep-
teen years ‘over ten millions of dollars
have been paid into the United States'I
treasury by-inventors,‘ai‘id a- surplus of
over two’millions now lies there' to the
credit of the Patent office, and yet it is so
crowded for room that its employées-are
limited to seven square feet of working
and breathing space—“a little too much
for a grave, but not enough for a decent
cell," said the senator. “And if,”said hc,
knowledge is power, then invention is
prosperity." whereupon an enthusiastic
listener in the gallery ejaculated a firm
"Amen," to the amusement and merriment
of the overbearing auditors. There have
already been abeut15,000 copies of this
speech‘ ordered by Congressmen and
pafent men for distribution and many
more are likely to be ordered so soon as it
can be put into pamphlet form and
printed. ,No speech of the present Con-
gress has awakened so wide and keen on
' interest,'snd for one reason at least that it
is, as General Hawlcy remarked at its
conclusion, “a perfect" magazine of facts
and interesting and instructi'e informa-
tion.” Inventors and all interested in the
patent system will do well to forward
their requests to Senator Platt that a copy
may besent to them, as-it is not only
worth present reading, but preserving for
future use and reference. .

A committee of leading citizens of
Bridgeport appeared before the House
River and Harbor committee on Thurs-
day and presented claims for the im-
provement of Black Rock harbor. Their
efforts and arguments, were seconded; by
Senators Platt and HawIey and Repre-
sentatives Waite, Eaton, Seymour and
Mitchell. Among the Bridgeporters pres-
ent here are Hon. John D. Candeelof'the
Standard, Postmaster Knowlt'on, 'Judge
A. B. Beers, Henry R. Parrott, Captain.
John M’Neil, Alexander Wheeler, Colonel
S. B. Sumner, D. If. Read, Isaac Holden,
A. Steward, S. C. Kingman, W. W. Starr,
and Hon. Morris Seymour. It is under-
stood they madc a very favorable impres-
sion upon the committee. and that Black:
Rock Harbor will be put down for a
reasdnable appropriation. The following
.ls the memorial the Bridgeport committee
submitted :—
BLACK ROCK HARBOR,
BRIDGEPORT. CONN.
2 o the Honorable C'ommtffee rm Bitters a
Harbors : ’ '
The city government of Bridgeport,
Conn., the board of trade of thatcity, and
the citizens generally, would respectfully
suggest the follow reasons why the ap
propriatiun for the improvements of Black
Rock harbor, which is now pending before
your honorable body, ought to be favora-
bly considered:
First. No improvement asked for from
the United States government could come
more within the letter and spirit of the
law which justifies such an appropriation
on the part of the general government.
Ever .since the early settlement of our
country,until recentlnyack Bock harbor
has been known as an unsurpassed harbor
of refuge to the entire coasting trade ply-
ing between the New England states and
New York city, and all that foreign trade
which seeks the port of New York through
Long Island sound Situated midway be-
tween New York and New London har-
bors, where Long Island sound is at- its
widest, it furnishes u very convenient
stopping . place for all crafts passing
through from the east or from the WW.
Protected as it is upon the north and west
by the mainland, and on the south by
Penfield Reef, and upon the east by Fay-
erweather Island, easy of access, easy to
sail from, no better refuge could be de-
sired to accommodate the entire coasting
trade of New England. .
Secondly. Appreciating the imporl-
ance of this harbor the general govern-
ment, long before the late war, improved
it by placing a'fine light house on Penfield
Reef, and another on the southern ex-
tremity of Fayerweather Island. It ex-
tended the island southerly and prevented
the water breaking through it at its nar-
rowest point by building two short break-
waters. At that time the island was sep-
arsted from the mainland by a narrow
strip of sandy beach whichwas exposed
at low tide. Had this spot, "the break of
the beach" as it is called. head then closed,
as it might have been- at a very trifling
expense, great damage would have been
avoided. The neglect of the government
to do that, at that time. is the immediate
cause of the destruction of Black Rock
harbor.
Thirdly. The importance of the pres
ervation of Black Rock harbor has greatly
increased by reason of the rapid growth
of Bridgeport, and the extension of its
corporate limits so as to include that bar-
bor. Its importance as a harbor of refuge, . ~
is greater than it ever was before, by
reason of the increase of tbe coasting
trade. Its ihiportance as a harbor info
and through which a large portion of the '
commerce of the city of Bridgeport must
of necessity. within a very short time
pass, can hardly be estimated. To make
it useful for either of these purposes it. is
essential that the cause which is fast de-
stroying it should be removed, and that
the harbor be restored to its normal con—
dition. To accomplish this two thing
are necessary. ‘ .
(a). A breakwater built from the main-
land 10 the northern extremity of Foyer-
weather Island.
(5) The dredging from the harbor of
the sand which has washed into it over
this “break in the beach." -
An examination of topography of the
country discloses that this place (“the
break in the beach,") is particularly ex-
posed during easterly and southerly
storms. At such time the effect of the
wind and the waves is to wash over it
large quantities of sand, hich as soon as
they pass into the still w ters of the bar--
bor, settle to the bottom, only to be
moved by the ebb and flow of the tide.
Where once a very narrow “break" exist-
ed, and that only at low tide, now some
twenty-seven hundred feet of open water
extends. In the opinion ofcompetent ex-
perts, and government officials, as will
appear in the report of Colonel McFar-
land fo tbe Honorable Secretary of War,
this breakwater ought to be built. (Sen-
atc ex. doc. No. 50). This done; the
evil remedied for the future, the duty of
the general government to restore the bar
bar in its normal condition would seem to
follow as a matter of course. It would
restore that harbor lo the coasting trade
of the east as a place ofsurc and safe
refuge. Into the harbor thus restored a
very large local commerce would immedi-
ately pass; local in the sense of being
consigned to Bridgeport; inter-slate and
inter-national in respect to the sources
from whence that commerce is derived.
This commerce is to—dayseeking it not

only in connection with the increasing
manufacturing and mercantile interest of ;
Bridgeport, but of the Naugatuck and}
flousatonic valleys. which would use the 1
harbor as their shipping port.-. . .
, All that defeats this is the fallule_of g
Congress ‘ to make this appropriation :
which the chillers of. the United States i
engineers in charge .__ of the public works I
on the Connécticut coast recommended; I
coon all: 'ranitx. \ .
There has been no end of merrrment I
here ever the published interview of Mr.
Frank Richardson of the Baltimore hem,
and Mr. Tilden. While a good piece of
newspaporial reporting, Mr. R. comes to
the same conclusion of all who visit that
gentleman that he ought to be nominated 5
despite his protestations that “your can
didatelcannot be." It is curious that 5
while Mr. 'Iilden still repeats to his
visitors that he is not. and cannot be a
candidate, they all come away with the
feeling that his talk in this directing
should not count against his nomination.
Mr. B. says that he “draws the veil over
much that was said. in obedience to Mr.
Tilden’s wish. He told enough to
convince his visitor that he is entirely
sincere in his au‘nounced disinclination to
stand for the presidency ; “but" adds Mr.
Richardson, “this is no reason why, when
the democratic :convcntiou meets, it
should not nominate Mr. Tilden if its
members think hole the best available
man." Then follows angincident worthy
the best efforts Inf Nast or Puck to
'csrtoon, when hereports the decrepit
statesman as striking an attitude and
firmly planting down, first his right foot
then his left, and then throwing out from
the shoulder with forced vigor, his right
one and ejaculating in a whisper, "not,
much paralysis there ?” We chanced to
have :met a, democratic visitor to ,Mr.
Tilden only a few day‘s prior to Mr. R.
who had told its that fheoid gentleman’s
. Organs were so far paralyzrd that he could
not converse audibly above a loud
whisper, and that to suppress the shaking
palsy of his left arm he’would either
press it down on the table with his right
hand, while sitting, or hold it firmly it
standing, and that the old gentlemen was
aware of his liability, to further paralytic
trouble at any moment, and the termina-
tion of his life, audit was for that-reason
he did not desire the presidential nom-
ina‘tion for himself this year, although-lie“
did not disguise-~his"‘feel_ing thatI he”?
should have been thus honored four":
years ago, instead of General Hancock.
It is evident that Sam Randall IandIa
dozenf-‘inore democratiriaaspiranfs for the"
democratic presidential nomination, do
' not intend that Mr.Tildcn’s‘present wishes
shall be regarded. '

Railroad Crossings.
The bill concerning the crossing of!
highways by railroads, .pass‘edIbytheI
local interest in view of the fact. that the
Washington street crossing in South
Norwslk is without doubt the most
annoying and dangerous one on the line
of the Consolidated road. . .
The bill empowers the railroad com-'j
missioners to order any railroad company.
not to use for switching purposes, nor for
standing trains of any kind.‘ such portion
of Its tracks ’which now or hereaftermsy
be placed upon or- across any public
street or highway as in their opinion the
public convenience rtquires should not
be so used, and may limit the number of

railroad company may lay upon or across
a public street or highway for side tracks
or for switching purposes,and may orders
railroad company to remove such of the
side track a or switching tracks now laid
upon or across any public street or high;
way as said commissioners may deem pub-
lic convenience or safety requires should
he removed. ;
It further provides that the commis-
sioners, when requested,in:wrifing,by the
selectmen of any town, the, mayor and
common council of any city, hr. the
warden and burgt-sscs of any borough, to
forbid the use for switching purposes of

sively major in 1872, lieutenant-colonel'in
1877, and on the death of Colonel Fair-‘
child in 1878, colonel of the Fourth
regiment, Connecticut National Guard.
Colonel Crofut wasa popular officer, well
versed in military tactics, and highly
esteemed for his integrity of character _
and urbanity of manner. He labored
hard and earnestly for the welfare of his
regiment and was largely responsible for
the goodslanding of that organization.
He was well known and respected by the
ofiiccrs of the National Guard, who will
long remember the pleasant‘ relations tbey'
enjoyed-”with him. ‘ He was regarded as
an excelleotauttnritv on military matters,
a man of good judgment, and was a men;

A council of physicians was called last
Saturday, and an operatiob performed
which it was hoped would speed the
recovery of the colonel. General S. R.
Smith, of New Haven, was at the bedside
of Colonel Crofut when hebrcathed his
last; A post-mortem examination was
held by Doctors Hart, Benedict and
Barber, of Bethcl, and Assistant Surgeon
Burke, of the Fourth regiment, of South
Norwalk. The investigation revealed the
fact that the liver was nearly. double its
natural size and very much diseased.

The funeral took place Friday after-
noon at 1 o’clock from the Methodist
church in Beihcl. The Mllsonic fraterni

with masonic and military honors.
Colored lien In Convention.
The convention of colored men from
different parts of the state, called to elect
delegates to the national convention to be
held in Pittsburg. Pa, April 20, to con~
sider the cbndition of the colored people
in the South and to devise some means
for seculing their political rights, was
held in Hartford Wednesday. Robert R.

The Star Fish Bill.
The bill to protect oyster grounds from
the depredafions of the star fish, which
‘ was under consideration in the House at
. the hour of adjournment Wednesday, was
taken up Thursday. An amendment was
pending on mntion of Mr Bell of Nor—
walk to strike out all but the first section,
which removes-tbe sections authorizing
the shell fish commission to emp 0y
dredges. This prevailed by a rising vote.
Mri Hubbard, of Hartford, offered an
smtrndmcntvproviding that all franchises
which this state has sold shall .be deemed
good and‘vnlid, except such as have been
set aside as natural beds or shall be set
aside by the act of January, 1884. He
said it was a matter of justice to parties
who have paid their mon’ey to the state
that they should be protected. The

EVERYBODY LIKES
to be called handsome, especially the
young ladies. But that is simply impos
sible as long as their face is covered with
pimples, blurchcs arid sores. But wait,
there is no need of this; one or two bot-‘
tics-of Sulphur Bitters will remove all
such disfigurstions, and make your face
fair and rosy.—Fanm'e Bell. Edl'tress.
