EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Artur. 14th, 1384.
DIAR‘GAznm:—'rhe Blair Education-
alblll W0! finally “worried” through the
Senate, yet with so many and so incon-
gruous amendments,thatits parentage will
hardly honor their child when it comes
to be printed. The Senate setup with it
tillmrdnrght and then passed the bill as
numerously and variously amended, by a
vote of about three to one. Senator Plait
got .1" one good amendment and then voted
for it. although he stated it to be very far
from What he would have been glad to have
its provisions and General Hawley voted
against-1t. It appropriates nearly a bun.
dred million of dollars to be expended
during the hex: decade for the purpose of
reducing the deplorable illiteracy, shown
1? 931“ Particularly in the southern por-
tions of this great couhtry. The Repub-
licans favored it almost to a man and
many of the most stalwart statearights
Democrats wanted their constitutional and
other sc"Illici- and voted for it because
the money would be expended in their
rf’llllective states. There may be two
views of the strict constitutionality of the
measure, but there can scarcely be a dif- ‘
fer-cues of opinion as to its practical bene-
fits. If the bill is passed by the House,
the south will have seventy million dollars
poured into her lap to help her in qualify-
ing her ignorant voters for citizenship.
The proposed expenditure is indeed enor-
mous. but it is so great only because the
evil with which it copes is so vast, and
hence the complaint should not be lodged
against the remedy, but the disease. The
.appropl'iation will be distributed over a
series of years} Civilization comes high,
but wcmust have it, and is economical in
thelong run. The democratic Star here
thus lectures its party friends,who having
the majority in the House, are justly re.
sponsible for the delay and blockade of
the public business in Congress:—-—The-
delay 0f the public business in the House
is getting tobe really a serious matter.
While the members are wasting time in
filibustering and useless talk the summer
is rapidly advancing upon them, and still
there are many appropriation hills which
have not yet been even touched, and be-
sides these the impeding Tsrifi bill, the
Inter-state Commerce bill, the Land Grant
Forfeitures,and the Shippinglbills will all
consume weeks of iaboraud debate, to
say nothing of the Library bill, the Bank-
ing Relief measures, and a dozen other
miscellaneous matters of importance. The
session will last far into August, unless
_ the members get disgusted some day and
break it short off in the middle.
Then the same paper "goes for" its
party friends and the Sun's candidate for
Presldentin'this wiso:—~Mr. Holman is
a good man, but not exempt from the
common infirmities of humanity. Yester-
day he vigorously objected to the appro -
printions new public buildings until one
for a town in'his one state was reached,
against which be had nothing to say.
The publicwill be out to “object" to this
kind of discriminating statemanship. The
presenl log-rolling combination is one of
the strongest of recent years, but the op-
position is also unusually vigorous, and it
is probable that only a small portion of
the fortyfive'bills for new buildings,
involving the expenditure of $7,000,000,
will succeed in the end. Lagrolling is
good healthy exercise, but fatiguing if
kept up too long. Theflouse may pose
for “retrenchment” as much as it pleases,
but. it will evidently have to back down
from its pdsition on the naval bill. The
temper of the Senate is plainly against
any further “fooling” in this important
matter. At least half of the Democratic
senators are in favor of increasing the
House’s total liberally, and will so vote.
In conference the House will bear the
brunt and will have to reeede. There is
no sense in the logic of crippling the navy
and stinti-ng the navy department just be-
cause Mr. Chandler happens to be its sec
retary.
ransrmau'rrsr. oaxmnx'rss.‘
The political cauldron begins to boil
quite hotly and every day some new com-
binations for the presidential tickets
of the two parties are revealed.
Beside President Arthur, Mr. Blaine,
lIr. Edmunds, Mr. Harrison, Mr.
Sherman, General Logan and General
Hawley, recently there seems to have
sprung up quite a “boom” for Senator
Allison, of Iowa. He is the chairman of
the Senate Appropriations committee, and
one of the most laborious, useful and
popular members in that body, and. it
little Connecticut had not already so
much “dark horse," and “favorite son"
“lay out," our Republican delegates to
Chicago could hardly do a wiser thing
than to join in the Allison uprising.
Postmaster General Gresham, of Indiana,
remarked the other day that after
President Arthur he looked upon our
General Hawley as, all things considered,
the strongest nomination that could be
made.'.Gen. G. is a rarely sngaclous
politician, and our own State’s people
would be surprised, as well as gratified,
could they know how widely this partial-
ity for General J oseph R. Hewley prevails.
Our Ex-Senator Eaton, also, has a very
large contingent interest in the dark horse
possibilities. He is everywhere mentioned
approvinglyamong the protective mem.
bers of his party as the next man after
Sam Randall to be considered at their
national conVeution. That unfortunate
party will, with its usual stupidity and
fatality, “go farther an fare worse.”
Again the Democratic .Star says—Mr.
Randall has a right to feel elated over
his endorsement st Allentown. It wasa
downright‘manifestation of enthusiasm.
This is all very well as far as it goes. The
question recurs, however, as to its effect
on the pending campaign. Mr. Randall’s
papulsrity at. home will not increase his
popularity in Kentucky, nor will it de-
crease Mr. Blaine's Pennsylvania strength.
Among the Democratsof New York.also,
there are many who are not kindly dis-
posed toward Mr. Randall; while his
celebrated “economical" principles are
regarded by many as favoring of niggard-
liueas,..and it 'is doubtful whether :they
' would not harm full as much as help him
in a bus‘tionai campaign. "Before the
Allentown deliverance he had already
attained prominence as a presidenlai cau-
drdste, and new that prominence has been
merely confirmed. but not materially in-
creased. Tne action of the convention is
chiefly important in its hearings on the
Democratic campaign policy and .the
political prospects of the Sage of Grey-
stone. 1% one of the active leaders of
the Democracy is on more intimate terms
with Mr. Tilden than Mr. Randall, who
has made frequent pilgrimagesm Gram.
ercy Park of late, and be may be presum-
cd to be accurately informed as to the
actual condition and wishes of its dia_
tiuguished resident. If Mr. Randall had
any reason to suppose that Mr. Tilden
would consent to run for president, the
Allentown convention would have been
doubtless infOrmed of the fact, and would
have “come out strong” for the old ticket.
In other words, the Pennsylvania Demo.
cuts would hardly dare to omit reference
to the nomination of the old ticket, unless
may were assured authoritatively that»
such nomination were out of the question.
The principal outcome of the convention,
therefore, is the important inference,
apparently well grounded, that Tilden is
out of the field-
So far as the platform is concerned, it
will not strengthen the Democratic party
at large. It calls not only for protection
on the Ohio plan. but also for the abolition
of the internal NVCDUC system, to which
latter principle “ large m-iority of the
party are strongly Opposed. ' It would be

CONNECTICUT .UIERNATOBIAL CANDIDATES "
Influential Democrats from Connecticut
who have been here recently, state that
Governor Waller will decline a mutual
nation—that he has had enough of it and
has no stomach for more. In this
condition of things and this being the
“presidential year” and not usually a
“bearing year”_ with the democracy in
our state, the leaders have about settled
upon forcing the nomination on Reprr» -
sentative Mitchell, of New Haven. It is
said that while his committal to the free
trade doctrines of the Morrison bill
might lose {him a few Democratic votes,
there are numbers of free trade republi-
cans of the lunatic ,Prof. Sumner school,
who would throw up their hats and
hurrah themselves hoarse for “Charley"
Mitchell. Then too, he would have the
great moral and the greater financial
support of Ex-Gov. English, who in the
flush of his new conversion to freejrade
would be expected to “bleed at every
pore” in a campaign waged by his
young friend and convert, while a
candidate who pulled out fifteen hundred
dollars and placed it in the hands of the
ever genial Gallagher to elect "Tom”
Waller (whom he didn't like,) could be
depended upon to “come down” so
magnificently that even if‘defcated in the
end, there would he no mistake as to
“all the boys” having a “riproaring,
good-time" all through the canvass.
That after all, is what the “working
elements” in the party most inordinately
crave. We could see the unwonted
gleam in ,State-Committeeman James
Gallagher’s eyes as the probabilities of
Mr. Mitchell being the :ncxt Democratic
candidate for governor, were being dis-
cussed. It is so much more handy,
convenient and agreeable to have a
candidate who is ready, able and willing
to plank down the whole sum necessary
to defray the -“legitimate expenses” of
such a campaign, than it is for the
chairman of the committee to go about
hat in hand, like a mendicant, soliciting
doled out donations from the few well-
to-do members of the party. Then; in
the hardly possible event that Mr.
Mitchell should be elected, he would not
fail so ignomineously to be popular with
the “boys," as Governor Waller has done.
Mr. Mitchell is a man of breadth and
solidity” He is genial in disposition and
of a good digestion, and with the foster
ing care of Mr. English as his Gamalicl
and the aid of the right kind of an exe—
cutlve secretary, he would pass right to
the front of pOpular, Democratic gover-
nors. By all means let Mr. Mitchell be
nominated. It would ensure us a lively
campaign. .
Of possible Republican candidates,
prominent and representative men of our
own party, from all parts of the state
name but three. One is our own Fairfield
Count) ’9 favpritc son and private soldier
boy, 1’. C. Loussnunr, of Ridgefield.
The others, Speaker Henry B. Harrison,
of New Haven and Ex~Lieut, Gov.
Bulkelev, of Hartford. From informa
tion gained here at this distance from the
“seat of war," it would appear that the
strength of these three distinguished and
most worthy gentlemen is about equally
divided. A triangular contest is always
an interesting one, and although no heat
or enthusiasm is likely to be worked
until after our June national convention;
still the partialities of the friends of these
respective candidates will be sure to
show themselves, and finally so cristalizc
as to secure for us a harmonious state
convention and the putting before the
electors of our gallant little state, such a
ticket as will combine in it all the needed
elements of victory. " ~

Senator Platt’s recent speech on the
Patent; System of the United States has
had a marvelous circulation throughout
the country. Ten thousand copies have
already been ordered printed by inventors
and patent men, while other thousands‘

by senators and representatives. The
speech has also been stereotyped by

G. a. n. CAMP FIRE.
General Hawley went over to New'
York, Thursday, as orator for the Union
League club at its annual meeting that
evening. Friday evenlngjhe presided at a
Grand Army camp firehere,wherc himself,
General Logan and General Grant were
speakers. The Star says in its report:
The camp fire held by department of the
Potomac, G. A. 11., at Masonic Temple,
last evening, assumed the character of an
ovation to General Grant. The camp fire
was lighted to discuss the operations
against Vicksburg. The hall was filled
to its utmost capacity, every Grand Army
organization in the city being represented.
The Marine band occupied the balcony,
which was heavily draped with the
national,colors. Flags and banners hung
from each window, and a bust of Lincoln,
draped with a silk lag, was pinged near
the president's table." A little after 8
o’clock Gen. Grant, who had been seated
in the cloak room, surrounded by other
generals discussing war jokes, was invited
to take a place upon the platform. The
band stguck up “Auld Lang Syne."
Every man stood with uncovered head,
and a path was cleared through their
ranks to the platform. As General .Grant
stood in the doorway, leaning heavily on
his crutches, with General Logan by his
side, three cheers went up that shook. the
windows, and a thousand bats were waved
wildly in the air. General Grant stood
before the assembly for a moment upon
his crutches, then throwing them from
him he stood unsupported. As cheer
upon cheer was poured upon him,his eyes
became moist, and he said not a word.
As soon as order was restored, D. S.
Alexander, commander of the department
of the Potomac, G. A. R , introduced
Senator ilewiey as the president of the
meeting. Senator Hawley made a. short
address upon taking the gavel, saying
that it was good for them to come
together thus. Good for them and good
for the country. He the‘ntintroduced
General Logan, who, be said, was a brave
soldier and an honest man.
General Logan told a long and interest-
ing story of the taking of Vicksburg.
Before General Logan had finished telling
his story he was interrupted- by the
arrival of President Arthur and Secretary
Lincoln, who were greeted with cheers.
When General Logan ceased to speak the
whole assembly, led by Srnator Hawiey,
sang "Marching Through Georgia."
Senator Hawley then announced that
General Grunt would have to retire, as'
this was the first tune be had been out
at night since the accident: which rendered
him a temporary cripple. The audience,
however. would not let him go until he
had made :l speech. He, enlarged upon
some of the points in the battle of Vicks—
burg. mentioned by Gen. Logan; more
particularly as to General Halleck’s order
commanding him to return, which was
fortunately received after the battle,
When the prfldent was about to take
his departure, in response to repeater!

i calls be made a brief speech, saying: ~
..
l hereto say one word, but simply to listen 1
to the story of that grand campaign, as it ;
i .has becnfltold by the gallant soldiers who :
conducted it. The nation will honor
them and their memory forever. I am
glad to be here try-night, and to express
to you the honor I,feel, not only as chief
magistrate of the nation, but as a private
individual, . and the great pleasure it
affords me to be invited to hear this story
of the great campaign from the lips of the
lenders who accomplished it."
On the departure of General Grant, and
afterwards when the president left, the
agscmblagc gave nine prolonged cheers.
The camp fire closed with “Johnnie Came
Marching Home.” .

Some Representatives.
Among the good men Fairfie’ld county
has been honored with in the late House
of Representatives none stand out more
prominently than Messrs. George R.
Cowles and Charles Bell, of Norwalk, the
first named chairman of the committee
on corporations; the second, connected
with no committee, but earnest in
advocacy of, and consrientious in action
upon all good measures, especially those
pertaining to oyster interests with which
he is familiar. Both have been their
own successors, chosen cu their merits
by an Intelligent constituency, and both
had become so familiar with methods of
legislation as to be able to turn the same
to gobd account. For the sake of pressing
forward work in‘hand, both in and out
of committee, ‘,iioth made Hartford prac-
tically their residence from the hour of
thesessions opening, till its close. They
were ever ready to receive and act on
suggestions, and to their good counsels
and conservative course may lzc traced
much of the influence which resulted in
bringing about a short session. Mr.
Cowles is a practical business man, and
handling all measures from his committee
in a practical way he commanded atten-
tion. {He spoke many times, but always
briefly and to the point offering the meat.
as it were, of his subjects to his hearers,
and rarely‘did they fail to catch his ideas
apd govern themselves accordingly. As
a rule members care more. for facts
concisely stated. and less for rhetoric
and sentiment clothed in fine language.
The result has been most measures
explained by Mr. Cowles caught the
ready support of the House, and few
were lost. His‘ defense of the ‘Olm-
stead" parallel interest at the proper
moment, as against the Hartford and
Harlem, nude it apparent that he knew
what he was talking about. Mr. Bell
reserved what he had to say till towards
the close of the session. He made a
splendid record though, and commanded
the attention of the House. He always
had something good and new to offer on
the oyster question, and proved himself
capable of supporting the arguments
advanced, and at least he achieved a
victory for which oystermen along the
Sound will 'hold him in lasting remem-
brance. Mr. Glover, of Fairfield, of the
judiciary committee, is also worthy of
great honor for the defense and advocacy
of right in the treatment of complicated
and almost numberless bills to which his
attention was of necessity called. He is
a man of earnestness and sober thought,
and these characteristics were reflected
in all his speeches. He took a determined
stand in favor of the biennial seesions’
bill, favoring its submission to the people,
opening and closing a debate which will
long be remembered in the annals of
Connecticut legislation. Fairficld count y

Military Matters. _
The battalion drill of companies F and
D have been indefinitely postponed.
The state paid $5,000 for the land for
an armory site. Fifteen to twenty
thousand dollars will probably be required '
to build the armory.
Captain Taylor, We understand, is
meeting with success in his efforts to
secure rtcruits for Company 1). Mayor
Golden’s name heads the list, and is fol-
lowed by a quite a number of the promi-
nent young men of the city..
It has been the custom for the state to
provide new uniforms for the militia
every five years. The uniforms now ,
worn by the members of the Fourth
regiment will be five years old in August,
and the members of Companies F and D
are elated over the prospects of having a
new and handsome outfit,
The purchase of an armory site caused
no little pride among the members of the
local mil-nary companies; but their pride
has given place to enthusiasm since it has
become known that a scheme is on foot
for the immediate erection of an armory.
Several prominent capitalists of the city
and borough have expressed it willing-
ness to go ahead and' build the armory,
the state to pay them interest on their
investment until an appropriation is
made. The matter has been laid before
the state armory committee, and there is
every reason for believing that the propo-
sition will meet their npprOvai.

ham, the War Governor of Connecticut,
placed in the BattieFlag corridor of the
Capitol at Hartford, and appointed a
commission, which included Governor
Bigelow, the Hon. Henry B. Harrison of
New Haven, and General William A.
Aiken of Norwich, to cart-y out the pro-
ject. The commission selected the design
of Olin D. Warner, an eminent sculptor
and native of Connecticut, and have bad
the statue prepared, representing Govern-
or Buckingham, in asitting posture. The
work is now finished, and able critics pro.
nounee it u worthy representation of the
noble gentleman whose fame will forever
remain identified with the history of the
State during the struggle for the preserva-
tion of the Union.
The General Assembly of 1884 feeling I
that the unveiling of such a statue would
be an occasion appealing to the patriotic
feeling of every Union veteran of the state
has fixed JUNE 18TH as the day for the
unveiling ceremonies. and appropriated
$6,000 for the purpose of having a parade
of old soldiers like the memorable occa-
sion of BattleFlag day.
The ranks of the Union soldiers are rap-
idly thinning out and the occasions which
will bring them together hereafter must
be very rare. The unveiling of a statue
to Governor Buckingham is one of these
occasions and possibly the last. None
who were present on Battle-Flag day will
willingly miss the chance for another such
reunion of the'war. veterans of Connecti-
cut, and those who were unabled to attend
will have additional incentives to be pres-
ent on this occasion.
Invitations are extended to all regiment
al associations of the state to call special
' reunions in Hartford on that day.
The ordinary regimental reunions can
be held any year, but the chance for all
the regiments to meet together in a grand
parade must necessarily come very seldom.
So far as has been heard from,there is a
general desire to improve the present op-
portunity, and it is earnestly hoped that
no I'eglmt nt will be missing from the line
0n the 18th of J unc.
Arrangements are also made for a naval
battalion, and also for a battalion of
soldiers from other states, now resident in
Connecticut, who may desire to take part,
as on Battle-Flag day.
Arrangements will be made for excur-
sion rates on all the railroads, and for fur-
nishing'-diuners to all who attend. The
city of Hartford, which is never-found
wanting on such occasions, will unite with
the legislative commission in every possi-
ble effort to make the day one to be re-
membered in the annals of the State.
Any enquiries in relation to the parade
may be addressed to Major J. C. Kinney,
Chief Marshal, Hartford. .
Benjamin Fitch’s Will in Contest.
Proceedings in the contest of the will
of Benjamin Fitch were begun in New
York, Monday. Mr. Fitch lived at 65
Fifth avenue. It is said that he gave in
his lifetime $1,500,000 to charities. The
will is contested by Mrs. Collender, a
nice: of the lestator, on the ground that
be was mentally incapacitated from mak—
ing a will.
By his will the tcstator gives the Fifth
avenue house to his grandnieces,Chariotte,
Eva, and Carrie Fitch during their lives.
He gives the silver in the house to his
grandnephew, Benjamin Fitcb., Jr. All
his property in :Darien he gives to his
nephew Francis Fitch, who is directed to
look after the interests of the Fitch Home
for Soldiers, and see that the testator’s
plans for the home are carried out. His
property 'in Buffalo is given to his
grandnephcw Benjamin Fitch. He in-
structs his exectors to receive the divi
dends of all his stocks, bonds, and bank
accounts, and to pay to F. S. Fitch
$2,500 a year, and the otaxes upon the
house. There are two codicils to the
will, by which Benjamin and Francis
Fitch are made the principal beneficiaries.
The executors are John Morris, the Rev.
Dr. Charles F. Decor and Cornelius Vau-
derbill.
The two subscribing witnesses to the
will were examined Monday. One said
that he had knOwu Mr. Fitch to be a very
peculiar man, and thatjat the time the will
was executed he was almost speechless.
The other witness said that it was his
custom to see Mr. Fitch almost every day.
Mr. Fitch had told him that he thought
he would get rid of all his relations, as
they evidently wished him dead.

American Inventions.
Commissioner of Patents Butterwortb,
who has spent some time in a careful classi-
fication of the patents which have been
issued by the government under the pat-
ent laws, gave the result of his labors at
the inventors’ meeting or convention,
held at Cincinnati recently. As illustra-
five of the directions which American
inventive genius has taken, the following
statistics given by him are of interest: 0f
the nearly 300,000 patents which have
been, 10,204 have been for metal-working
machines, 8,238 for stoves and furnaces,
6,505 for railway cars, 6,740 for mills and
threshing, 6,606 for harvesters, 0,686 for
plows, 5,872 for applications of electricity,
engines, 5,254 for lamps and gas fixtures,
4,098 for laundry, 3,568 for seeders and
planters, 3,504 for railways, 2,417 for
wearing apparel, 2,429 for dairy utensils,
2,888 for fences, 3,418 for metalling, 2.453
for beds, 3,156 for pumps, 3,769 for water
distributors. Corset patterns have been
969 times patented, 754 machines for
knitting, 734 not and bolt locks, 1,219
methods of tanning hides, 884 fir'e escapes,
900 artesinn Wells, 440 bread and cracker
machines, 1,580 chairs, 450 vegetable
cutters and 567 fire engines have also been
made the subject of patents. The vast
proportion of these, however, have been
useless to the public and profitless to the
inventors.
