Henry Watterson, who with Congressman
Hurd assisted in framing the democratic
national platform, is equally; outspoken.
He says :——“Mcn who favor acontinuance
of protection will vote for Butler or
Blaine; the only hope in electing, Mr.
Cleveland is in getting for him the' votes
of those who favor revenue reform. The
tariff issue must not be dodged in this
campaign.
The Rochester Post-Was calls upon
Mr. Cleveland to “rise up, fish, cut bait or
go ashore.” The blackguard press, says
the PosaEcpt-m, “charge Mr. Blaine with
(lodging the prohibition question." Well,
if he dodged it, he stood up and dodged,
and gave his reasons for it, and it is for
the people to say whether they think he
acted properly. All’we ask of . Grover
, Cleveland is that he do the same; stand up
and say whether he is for or against the
Morrison bill, or dodge it as they say
Blaine did prohibition, and give, as Blaine
did, his reasons for it. The request is a
proper one, but Grover Cleveland isn’t the
man to respond to it. He has neither the

The Danbury Railroad.
The Railroad Commissioners made a
thorough examination of the Danbury &.
Norwalk Railroad, Wednesday. . They
pronounce it in first class order. They
note the construction of new stone cul-
verts in place of wooden bridges, the
laying of additional steel rails, new ties,
etc. It’s road.bed and rolling stock are
declared much better than hitherto
In May it paid $10,000 on its floating
debt, and has paid $7,500 for the Danbury
accident, about $4,000 for steel‘ railis,
$6,000 for a new engine, and has paid it's
interest promptly. For the month of
June last, its total receipts were $18,-
497.19; its operating expenses $8,450.31 ;
net earnings, $10,086.88.
In July, total earnings, $25,303.24; total
expenses, 18,209.55; net. earnings, $13,-
209.55.
In August total earnings, $22,411;
expenses, 12,325; net earnings, $9,086.
The new steel rails and the new engine,
($10,000, in round figure) are included; in
July andAugust expenses. Theincrcase of
earnings in these three months over
the same months of 1883 is $2,606. The
dccrme bf menses for same period, is
$4,069, and the increase of net earnings
for same time is $6,676. Few.small, New
England roads can make so favorable a
showing, and these figures prove that our
statement of last week, that the stock of
this road was worth‘sesenty-fice was in no
way cxagerated.

Flashy posters are out advestising the county
fair with a New York imprinton. A county in-
stitution gotten up by the county to encourage
the industries of the county, supported by the
county, should have county pride enough to
have their printing done in the count y.—-Stam-
ford Advocate.
A member of the society informs us, that the
posters were printed in Cincinnati,and that they
are pronounced by competent judges the best
ever shown in this state. He also says that in
man former years,when the contract was made
in this county the bills themselves were printed
abroad.--Republican.
It is best to treat this matter frankly.
The Fairfield County Fair don’t go to
Cincinnati for its support. It relies upon
therpeople of this scanty for that, and its
newspapers to advertise the fair into
publicity. Had it. given it’s order for the;
lithographed bills to the Republican, that
paper could have furnished them to the
society for just what it has paid and made
a small commission out of the order,
besides improving the bill by its imprint
also, had it so wished. , This would have
been but a just recognition to the Ramb-
liam, or any one of a half dozen other
county papers for the free notices of the
exhibition, it every year begs. No gen-
tlemen, one and all, it always pays best
in the long run, to support your own, and
just as showy posters can be printed at at
least three Fairfield county job ofiices,
while very few, if any prduting offices in
Connecticut, would turh out as inferior
looking cards as some that were procured
abroad.

Everybody’s Inaurarice Raised.
The committee of appraisers for the
“New England Insurance Exchange,”
visited Norwalk last week and rented
and raised all insurance risks here from
thirty to one hundred and fitty per cent!
This is a combination of insurance com-
panies who feel that old rates have not
been sufficiently remunerative. - The
“Norwalk District" comprises this town,
New Canaan, Wilton,
Daricn. On expiration of our policies the
extortions will have to be submitted to,
unless our Connecticut State Insurance
commissioner will permit companies out
of the combination to come and do
business in the state. But it is to be
feared that :the “combination” will con-
troll the Commissioner, and then people
will have to go without insurance or take
inadequate amounts. To illustrate—The
Gums building is insured at pre'Sent at
$1.50 per m. for three years, or at rate of
75 cents per $100 per year. The new
syndicate havc'raised our rating to $1.50
per m. for one year, or doubled it. In the
'cases of thedry goods of VanHoosear &.
Ambler, Scofield & Hoyt an Edward J.
Street, we believe, they have made a still
higher increase, while on the hat shops in
town, the increase is so exhorbitant as to
become almost prohibitory. We believe
it would pay the property owners of
Norwalk to establish among themselves a
manual fire insurance protection associa-
free-trade party sneaking into power be- i
hind a shower of “irrelevent” issues, as 1
their votes in November will abundantly I
show. , ‘ " ‘ ‘ ‘ '

Obituary. .
Mr.. (George Beaty, the father of grocer
Robert 1'. Beatty, died Wednesday last,‘
after a protracted and distressing illness
was conducted by Rev. Mr. Bissell, on
Saturdaj'r._ Mr. Beaty was formerly an
important and active member of the firm
of Beaty Bro's. Straw Hat manufacturers:
He had a naturally ingenious andjme-
chnaical'mind and was a most amiable,
upright Christian man. Even after his
infirmities had so bereft him of reason that
the mind flitted like shadows, he would
repeat favorite texts of scripture, and the
last word he everuttered, (audible only to
his son Robert, who bent. over him just
before helpassed away,) was “Jesus.” He
came to Norwalk from Indiana, and here
connected himself with the First Con-
gregational church. He was respected
and esteemed by all who ever knew him.

“Yes.” said the boy, “father is a christian,
but he isn’t working at it much now.—-Senlinel.
There is just where “father" differs
from the democratic (?) temperance work-
cr, for he is working the St John folly for
all it is worth in the interest of Cleveland.
There was a St. John and Daniel banner
raised in South Norwalk, Monday evening, and
a meeting attended by fully 1,200 people in
Music Hall, and an address by.Itev. W. H.
Boole, but the GAZETTE hasn’t a word to say
about it.——Sentt‘nel. - ‘ '
Said that “terrible boy," aftersaturating
himself with his mother‘s cologne, “if
you smell a smell, that is me.” - '
'The St..John and Daniel public demonstra-
tion last night was purely a temperance affair,
there being in attendance a weak combination
of overgrown boys and curiosity seekersl His
Honor Mayor Golden gave character to the
meeting—Standard.
The above is hardly fair. There are
altogether too many well-meaning people
in the foolish St. John movement at our
sister city, and they were all out and upon
the stage, filling the same very respect-
ably. The “weak" feature was that its
chief promoter is reputed the most un-
reasonable and unreasoning democrat in
South Norwalk, .
The Sentinel isn’t much of a newspaper.
There was a Blaine and Logan banner
raised in Norwalk Wednesday evening.
and a meeting attended by fully 1,200
people at the Opera House and addressed
by Hon. P. C. Lounsbury and J. P.
Dolliver, with an overflow meeting of
300 more at the club room, and 1,000 more
in the street who couldn’t get into either
hall.‘ but the Sentinel hasn’t but barely six
lines about it. Such is partisan journal-
ism. Blaine will be seen and heard later
on in the campaign. Perhaps the Sentinel
will make a note of that.
On Friday afternoon, Win. F. Hubbcll,
one of the best roofers in Fairfield county,
(in the employ of Jaqui, the borough
tinman,) was walking along the gutter of
ex-Mayor Ely‘s new barn, when he hit his
head against the projecting trimming of
one of the windows on the’mansard roof
and lost his ballancea Twenty-three feet
below him and close to the barn wasa
picket fence, and his presence of mind
prompted him to jufnp outward, as he
must fall. This'savcd his life no doubt,
for although he struck on his feet in the
soft dirt of the gardenhe was stunned and
very seriously injured by the concussion.
He is now, at his home under Dr. Gregory’s
care who is as yet unable to discover how
serious his internal injuries may be.

The Sentinel says:~—The Iron Works
shipped last week a car-load consisting of
acne huffdred horse power compressor
and a large compressed air mining pump
to Carthage, New Mexico, for coal mines,
belonging to the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad. This week they have
shipped a tendnch compressor to the
Switch and Signal company, of Pittsburg,
for operating automatic railroad switches,
and have an order for two more for the
same purpose to go to California.

In Memoriam.
An acquaintance with Mrs. Harriet L.
B. Haight, who died at Norwalk, Sept.
17, 1884, dating back from the earliest
days of her childhood, has given me ample
opportunity to judge of her real worth,
hcr generous nature, her high moral
character, and her established faith as a
follower of Christ. I have known her as
a happy, joyous maiden, a true and de-
voted wife, a fond and loving mother.
But now she sleeps that sleep that knows
no awakening this side of the grand
assembling of God's chosen ones. A brief
but painful illness which she bore with
Christian fortitude terminated the life of a
noble woman, one of God’s choicest gifts to
man. I would commend the two mother-
less chigren and the sorrowing husband
to the re and fiidence of our Heavenly
Father, and by is grace and mercy may '
they so live that they may meet their
loved one in the Golden City of the blessed.
With ,hcartfelt sympathy for the grief,
stricken and sot-rowing relatives and
friends I submit these lines as an affection—
'ate offering from a sincere: audioving
friend. , L. M. R.

The Land and Building company at a
meeting held last Thursday evening, voted
to dig a large well to furnish the factory
water for the boilers, under which the
first fire was built onWVednesday after-
noon. Thc engine was'found to be all
right. Now, when the erpply of water is
furnished, it will be ready for business.
A union temperance meeting was held
in the Congregational church last Sunday
evening, on which occasion the church
Remarks were made by
Mr. Tuft’s, Rev. Mr. Perry and Rev. Mr..
Tuttlc. A similar meeting will be held in
the Methodist church next Sunday evening
when the exercises and remarks will have
special reference to “No License” which is
the object, which it is hoped to carry at
the coming election.
In spite of the excitement of the politi-
cal canvass we hear considerable interest
expressed in the County Fair, (which is
held this week,) by the people of this
place, and judge that they will do their
part. toward making it a success. VYc
expect the exhibit by the Greens Farms
Farmers’ Club will be fine, as they do not
do things by halves, as is evidenced by
the manner in which the individual
members carry on their agricultural oper-
tions.
On Tuesday evening a large company
witnessed the democratic banner raising
on State street, the Westport Band
discoursing music for the occasion. As
the banner Was unfurled there was a call
and scattering. The assemblage then'
adjourned to Sturges’ Hall, where it was
called to order by the president of the
club,.E. M. Lees. Esq., who introduced
the speaker, Hon. Joseph D. Plunkett, of
New Haven, whose speech (?) consisted
mostlyof abuse of Blaine. Mr. Plunkett
was followed by Bernard Keating, of
Bridgeport, a brother-in-law of Mr. L. T.
Burns of this place.
A special meeting of the Blaine and
Logan Club was held on Tuesday evening
of last week for drill, and to hear the
report of the uniform committee, Messrs.
D. A. Salmon and Rufus Wakeman.
The committee showed samples of uni-
forms, and it was decided to adopt one
consisting of a helmet of white canvas
surrounded with a spike. A shirt of blue
flannel, with a white shield bearing the
monogram B. & L. in red and blue letters
the collar and cuffs of white flannel,
trimmed with gold braid. Under the
efficient captain of the club, Mr. W. E.
gAIbin, the company will be able to make
a most creditable appearance on the street
by the time theZnew uniforms arrive, which
will be some time this week.
