The Bettina Troubles.
Anyone reading the New York papers
of Saturday morning would have sup-
posed, had he not been cognizant of the
real situation, that our little city of South
Norwalk was in the hands of a fiery and
vengeful mob and that, in all probability,
murder, arson and rapinc would shortly
be rampant unless state troops could be
transported quickly enough to control and
check the disturbance. That this
supposition was made natural is a start-
ling commentary upon thc sensational
tendencies of modern journalism, for,
while there was a short season of trouble
on Friday evening and while, for a time,
things looked decidedly ominous, in a few
short moments the violence had ceased
and the excitement was in a measure
subdued.
The temporary outbreak of the striking
batters was the natural outcropping of a
disorderly clement over which the execu-
tlvc committee, and the cooler heads of
the better portion of the batters, could
exercise no control, and the violent spirit
manifested is nowhere more severely
condemned than by the leaders in the
present labor movement. These latter
have used their utmost endeavors to make
this strike a model Of order, and a digni—
fled resistance to the infringement and
curtailing of what they consider their
rights. And for this purpose they are
worthy of not only the thanks, but the re-
spect as well, of every peaceful and law-
abiding citizen. That the lower element
may, occasionally, get beyond their
control is a matter to be expected, but it
is also a circumstance for which the main
body of the strikers, than whom no one
is more orderly and law-abiding, should
not be held entirely responsible. There
is a rougher class in all organizations that
will brook no control. and that it exists
in the batting trade cannot be questioned
in the light of past events. It is to this
lower element that we refer in another
column, in our account of the disorderly
proceedings of Friday evening. For those
Of the strikers who are intent upon
preserving order we have no words
suflciently strong to express our admir—
ation. Possessed of almost unlimited
temporary power, that they should fail to
abuse it isa glowing encomium upon their
integrity of purpose and their sense of
public pride. Cool headed wisdom is
what is needed :just at present and the
exercise of that quality is what is gaining
the majority of the strikers the support
and encouragement of public sympathy.
There can be no question but that the
communistic speeches and action of a
portion of the lower and rougher element
has alienated from the support Of the
general body the sympathy Of the public
mind. This has created a prejudice under
which the general body will have to exist
for the present. And it is for them to
manfuliy live it down. The remedy lies
with themselves.. And it is only due to
them that meanwhile public opiniou
should be withheld and a share of sym-
pathy extended towards their manly bat-
tle for what they deem their rights.
Co-Operativo Hat. Shops.
Rumors have filled the air since the
difficulties among the South Norwalk
batters that a monster co-operative hat
manufactory was to be organized, embrac-
ing the thousand and more operatives
now out of work. We fear this scheme,
liOWever desirable it might prove, has no
solid foundation in fact. To conduct any
business successfully requires not only
capital but such rare business sagacity
that only, now and then, one out of the
many men who start out- as manufacturers
succeed, because of a lack of that shrewd,
managing capacity which wins success in
the fierce competitions and intense rival-
ries which characterize modern business
affairs. That some method cannot be de-
vised to get so important a portion of the
productive force of our town, as the batters
assuredly are, again at work is well nigh
a public calamity. Not only do the men
and their families thus unemployed suffer
deprivation and want, but the whole busi-
ness community suffers wrth them. It is
estimated that not far from one hundred
thousand (killers are every month paid out
by our bat shops when in operation. The
loss Of this large sum to “ the butcher, the
baker and the candlestick maker" is pro-
ducing a most di'stressing dearth in the
local trade of South Norwalk, and thus
about everybody in the whole community
pays the penalty of the stoppage. It
would seem that there were sensible men
enough in these batting associations to
meet their bosses in some sort of just and
equitable compromise. Surely nothing
but injury and loss can come of the pres-
ent “ strike out ” and “lock-out."

Wiso and Commendable Action.
The Bridgeport Savings Bank has very
wisely and. comniendably considered the
present exceptional condition of “hard
times" and the fact that in most municipal
localities their customers are assessed at
least two per cent. upon the property they
owe for rather than own, and have taken
the following action,. which ought to be
. followed by all similar institutions in the
state :
At a meeting of the board of trustees of the
Bridgeport Savings Bank, held November 24,
1884. the following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That where a re-appraisal of the
property las been made and in Ihe judgment
of our committee the loan does not exceed fifty
per cent. of the present cash value of the prop-
erty mortgaged to secure it; and that where
insurance, assessments and taxes on said prop-
erty are fully paid, and all interest ispaid in
advance within twenty days after the first days
of January and July in each year; our treasurer
is hereby authorized, until further notice, to
make a rebate of one-half of one per cent. upon
the interest so paid, thus making it at the rate
of five er cent. per annum instead of six per
out. as eretol‘ore.

A Cure for Hog Cholera.
The Hartford Telegram prints the fol-
lowing remedy for hog cholera which is
making a sweep through this section of
the statcz—“Give the swine plenty of
charcoal. Char a post and nail it up in a
pen, where they can get at it. They will
gnaw and eat it almost voraciously. It
acts as an antiseptic—a cleansing and
purifying substance in the animal’s stom-
ach. A very little sulphur, mixed with
the food, is also found to be beneficial.
But the charcoal is the main remedy, and
everybody can try it.”

The Shell Fisheries.
Over 1,000 oyster lets have been sur—
veyed and provided with stakes and buoys
by the engineers of the shell fish commis-
sion during the past year, and now nearly
all the natural oyster beds can be located
exactly. The report and suggestions to
the legislature concerning the work of
last year will be Of much interest to oyster
growers, as the commissioners are now
better able to judge the value of the lands
than in any previous year. The winter
will be spent‘in working on maps 9nd

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, December 8, 1884.
DEAR GAZETTE :——More interest and dis-
cussions have centred upon the presi-
dent's message and the report of his sec-
retary of the treasury,thc past week, than
upon any subject yet brought before
congress. The message, as a whole, is
deemed a good one, and is viewed as a
plain matter-of-fact presentation which it
is the constitutional duty of the president
to bring to the attention of congress. The
report of the secretary is somewhat harshly
criticized as a tub thrown to the free-trade
and revenue reform whale. The selection
of Mr. McCullough to be secretary of the
treasury was deemed a grave error by
many of the president’s best friends, for it
was known that his long residence and
wide business connections as a banker in
London had left its Cobden club taint in
the mind of the new secretary, and after
the spirited pronounced campaign so rc-
ccntly made by the administration party
before the country, it is looked upon by
leading republicans as at least indecOI-Ous
for this high Official to so distinctly avow
himself for the same revenue “ reforms"
our opponents so vaguely clamored for in
the late canvass. Of course no one sus-
pects Mr. McCullough of making a bid to
be retained in Mr. Cleveland’s cabinet,
but had he desired so to do he could
hardly have more adroitly avowed him-
self as in harmony with the free-trade
views of the incoming administration.
IrAan TIMES AND TARIFF.
The wisest and best of the democratic
leaders of the House are at length con-
vinced that last year’s effort to break
down the tariff has resulted in breaking
down or depressing nearly all of our
business interests. They are confronted
by the fact that since the election of
Cleveland the wages of the workingmen
of the country have been more universally
cut down or cut off altogether; that more
factories have suspended business alto-
gether, or more largly reduced their op-
erating forces than during any month in
any year during all the twenty-four years
of republican administration. Seeing this
and seeing _tbat it has grown largely out
of the tariff agitation of last year and the
coming pressure of “ hard times ” is likely
to be made worse by the free-trade agita-
tion already threatened by sundry revenue
reform members of the House, it is
now said all such discussion and agitation
for this session is to be discouraged. Such
action is both wise and patriotic. The
laboring men who voted for Cleveland
and tariff reform had little idea that they
were voting for democracy and hard
times, but such it has proven to have been,
and the dread and fear is that the end is not
yet, because there are so many hot heads
in and out of congress who wildly declare
that the triumph of democracy in this
country is the triumph of free-trade prin-
ciples. Sundry unmanageable members
have already threatened to introduce
revenue reform bills and throw the House
into the same angry and prolonged con-
test as was waged at the last session.
Representative Eaton, pronounces these
democratic brethren blanked idiots. As
no such measures can possibly pass the
senate it is to be hoped for the good of the
country that the advice of the more con-
servative democrats of the Sam. Randal
school may be heeded, yet it is sad to say
there is no certainty that it will be. The
almost daily introduction of rebel war
claims into the House is another cause of
popular distrust and disquiet. NO one
really supposes that these millions of rcbcl
claims already heaped up on the files Of
congress will be paid by this generation,
for it would bankrupt our pletlroric
treasury, but their constant introduction
is a menace to our national prosperity and
security, and all these things potently
tend to that governmental distrust so
paralyzing and fatal to all business pros-
parity:
ISTHMUS TRANSIT.
By far the most interesting and import-
ant subject referred to in the message of
President Arthur is the treaty with Nicara-
gua for the construction Of an interocean
canal through the territory Of that country
by the government of the United States.
The details of this treaty are not given,
from the policy hitherto pursued by our
government. There is a most intensely
interesting history connected with this
whole isthmus transit and South American
reciprocity treaty business, which your
limits would not sufiicefio give in detail. A
few general facts which for months have
been within the personal knowledge of
your correspondent must for the present
sufiice. It is well known that the bring-
ing into closer commercial and friendly
relations with the United States of all the
South American republics was a special
policy born of the genius, patriotism and
statesmanship of JAMES G. BLAINE, while
at the head of the Garfield cabinet. To
this end he had caused invitations to be
issued to all sister republics on this con-
tinent to send-representatives to a congress
to be convened for mutual Conference and
benefits. These invitations had been cor-
dially and even eagerly accepted, when the
death of President Garfield arrested fur—
ther action. One of the first and most
important and pressing measures the new
administration found on its bands was
this proposed “congress," to which ac-
ceptances had been sent. Mr. Arthur
naturally turned the entire matter over to
his secretary of state, Mr. Frelinghuysen.
To the sad disappointment of every one,
who had any knowledge whatever on the
subject, the invitations which had been
sent out and accepted were annulled, and
our South American friends, who had
fallen in with the project, received a kick
in the face. There were those un generous
enough to say that Mr. Frelinghuysen’s
singular action was inspired by the fact
that the locked for and probable success
and consequent popularity of the scheme
would redound not to his own chief, but to
Mr. Blaine and prove an aid to him in the
national convention and a detriment to
Mr. Arthur. Be this as it may this Oppor-
. tunity for securing a little footing in South
American markets was wantonly thrown
away. Friends of Mr. Arthur and Mr.
Freiinghuyscn subsequently implored
them to give more serious heed to this
whole South American question. ' Their
attention was called to the fact that a
eompanyof Frenchmen, and practically
under the protection of the French gov-
ernment, had not only commenced to cut a
canal at Panama, but had become the
owners of the only American transit route
in the purchase of the Panama railroad,
while the United States with all its Pacific
coast interests were thus at the mercy
of foreigners. Their attention was drawn
to the fact that some years since an ap-
propriation was made by congress to pur-
chase of one, Ambrose Thompson, who
had secured the grant, sites on the Bay of
Chiriqui, on the Atlantic, and on the Bay of
Golfito, on the Pacific, for the establish-
ment of United States naval stations.
That these two points were the only ones
where there were good and safe harbors
on either ocean, and at Cbiriqui abund-
ance Of steamer coal could be mined close
by the shore which was the only spot
in all South America where coal could be
found at all. Further, that upon the
establishment of these naval stations and
the flying of our flag company of Ameri-
can capitalists wor at once proceed to
build a railway-,3 .d a telegraph line
across at th’p» 9‘ int, which several
English and American engineers had pro.
nounced the best and most feasible route
across the isthmus. At the head of this
enterprise was Mr. Joseph Richardson, 0;
Bridgeport, 'C. P. Huntington, of New
York, and ex-Senators Sharon and Guinn,
of California. Secretary Frclinghuysei.
was inexorable and would allow nothing
to be done, although congress had twice,
in a mandatory way, ordered the prelim-
' ‘ry naval establishments. It was urged
.. ~ nhis attention that in no other way
but the idea looks to a startling departure»
could his administration win so Inuch
glory as in carrying out the plans of Mr.
Blaine, and the next that was heard of
him was as the ardent advocate of an
appropriation to buy Nicaragua. This
failed at the last session, but it now comes
up in the new shape of a treaty to be
ratified with that power for the right of
the United States to build a canal across.
It- is a great enterprise and will be a grand
one if it can be carried out. Commodore
Vanderbilt once cssaycd it, but his en-
gineers were forced to abandon it. In a
volcanic ountry, subject to constant
earthquakes, and cloud bursts pouring
down thirty feet of water in an hour into
canal cuts, it is not an inviting locality
for either canal locks or cuts, while a rail-
road could be cheaply built and main-
tained. But as the French people are
bound to have a canal at Panama, no
more feasible plan can be devised for the
next administration to deplete thctrcasury
than to start out canal building across the
Isthmus of Nicaragua. But not this alone.
In his new found zeal Secretary Frcling-
liuyscn has negotiated treaties with Spain
as tO reciprocity of products with Cuba,
San Domingo, and we trust ere he con-
cludes he will have arranged treaties with
every South American republic. Should
these treaties be ratified by the senate
they will have a notable effect upon in.
dustries and commerce. That with Cuba
will destroy our sugar industrigs in
Louisiana, and put an end to the infant
Sorghum and beet sugar manufactorics
just starting upall about the United States;
while cigar manufacturing in this country
will be practically ruined. But we shall
see what we shall see when these treaties
are revealed.
THE TOBACCO TAXES.
The tobacco men are going to make a
strong effort this session to secure the
removal of the tax on that product. They
think that Secretary McCullough’s obser-
vations in his report on this question will
materially aid them. Representatives
Randolph Tucker and George B. Wise, of
Virginia, are to take the leading part in
the House in this movement. .
A committee of representative tobacco
growers is expected here within two
weeks to urge along the removal of the
tobacco tax. The manufacturers are
against it. ' ‘
WANT THE erILs.
There is a strong expression of opinion
among democratic congressmen, especially
from the south and west, in favor ofa
complete change in the Federal Ofilecs
after March 4, and the repeated declara-
tion Of Governor Cleveland’s friends that
he is sincere in his civil-service policy are
not relished. Thus far the working poli-
tical personagcs who have arrived here
would favor Hendricks’ civil—service opin-
ion rather than Clevcland‘s. Senator
Sherman thinks that if the new president
attempts no removals, except for cause or
at the end of commissions, the republicans
in the senate would make no opposition
tojconfirmations. The democratic senate
during the Hayes administration took this
position, and now the republican senators
will be very likely to follow their own
precedent. The advance guards of office
seekers are already here and thousands
more are reported on the way. It has put
up the price of rooms and board here to
an unprecedented degree, which is the
only thing in the whole country the demo-
cratic victory has not seemed to depress.
mvrms AND nannons.
The chief engineer has recommended
for the further improvement of Connecti-
cut harbors :——Bridgcport, $25,000; Mil-
ford, $6,000 ; New Haven, $90,000 ; break-
water at New Haven, $500,000; complet-
ing the works at New London, $0,200;
Norwalk, $10,000; Stonington, $53,000.
These some now have to pass the scrutiny
and approval of the committee on com-
merce, and will no doubt be cut down
largely in the River and Harbor bill.
THE MONUMENT.
The finishing cap stone was set on top
the Washington monument, Saturday.
It is the highest shaft in the world, and
was completed with the rain pouring and
the wind blowing a gale at the rate of fifty

PERSONALS.
William H. Barnum and John E. Earle
were here last week. Sands. Ruscoe, of
the 17th Conn., has just had his pension
claim allowed. Rev.Dr. Carroll, formerly
of New Haven, but now of Minnesota,
has received a call to Rev. Dr. Hicks’
church here, at $3,500 a year. The Blaine
family arrived here Friday evening. The
great Chieftain does not look overcome or
disheartened. His cousin, Miss Dodge,
[Gail Hamilton] says he is not the first
man who was slain by the jawbone of
an ass. The democratic Washington
Post says that the “family" of President
Cleveland will worship at the New York
avenue Presbyterian church. A Miss
Mary Willard produced a sensation here
last week. Invitation cards to the number
of 2,000 were out for her nuptials on the
11th to a New York banker's son named
Simpson,when she incontinently fled.with
an earlier and poorer lover named Paxton.
He was a patent attorney which is an ad-
vance on the usual coachman. The young
lady’s father, who was in Europe and had
shipped a costly bridal trossou from
Worth's, is expected to land in New York
to-day, to attend her marriage to Simpson.
She left her mother without even her
night-dress or toothbrush, leaving Parisian
robes and numerous bridal gifts behind.
Miss Hattie Perry, Of Southport, was
one of the bridesmaids at the marriage
of Miss Clarke to a son of General Beale
last week. Walker Blaine was an usher
at the wedding. As ever, B.

Edward W. Stuart.
The announcement of. the death of Mr.
E. W. Stuart was a painful surprise to his
many friends who, though knowing him
to be in poor health, had not considered
his complaint adangerous one. Tire most
sincere expressions of sorrow and respect
are freely spoken. Mr. Stuart had been
poorly for several months, but was not
confined to his bed but one day before his
death. His deceasc makes one more in
the long list of Norwalk’s prominent and
honored citizens, who have recently passed
into the cold, dark waters.
Edward W. Stuart-was born in New
York city in 1819, and was, therefore, at
the time of his death, in his 66th year.
He was a son of William P. Stuart, a
wholesale dry goods merchant with whom
some of our older merchants transacted
business. Upon the death of the father
the family removed to Norwalk, of which
place Mr. Stuart’s mother was a native.
He attended school at the old school house
on “the Green," and passed an examina—
tion for entrance into Williams college.
He changed his plans, however, and sub-
sequently entered the University of the
City of New York, graduating in the same
class with H. M. Scudder and A. G.
Vermilye. After completing ‘his college
course, Mr. Stuart commenced the study
of law in the office of the late Hon.
Thomas B. Butler, but was shortly obliged
to abandon his legal aspirations on
account of ill health.
gaged in agricultural pursuits, and be-
came interested in manufacturing interests.
He was a director in the original Norwalk
Mills company, and was for many years a
director in the LOunsbury & Bissell com-
pany. Mr. Stuart also took a deep inter-
est in educational matters and served as
chairman of the committee of the Norwalk
academy, and as a member of the Board
of Education. He was for forty-eight
years an earnest member of the First
Congregational church, and at one time
was the superintendent of its Sunday
school. Tire funeral services will be held
at his late residence, to-morrow ( Wednes-
day) at 2:30 p. m.

NORWALK GAZETTE,
Chicken Thief Captured. I
Some time since, a. darkcy brought a
large lot of chickens to Mitchell's market
which he scorned anxious to dispose of.
The Mitchells bought the poultry at a low '
figure and the man went off after agree-
ing to bring some more. The 'Mitchclls
made an examination of the chickens after
the man had left and discovered that
their necks had evidently been wrung.
This fact coupled with‘ the low price at
which they were sold satisfied the market
men that the chickens had been stolen,
and they communicated their suspicions to
Chief Lockwood. Last Tuesday evening
the. darkcy showed up at the market again
witha fresh lot of chickens. \Vhilc the
Mitcliclls engaged him in conversation a
messenger was sent ‘to Chief Lockwood,
who shortly put in an appearance. The
darkey upon being questioned said his
name was Williams and that he came
fromYVinnipauk. Subscquentlyhe stated
he was from Dar-ion. Ilis actions con-
vinced the officer that he was lying, but
lacking proof, the man was allowed to go,
the Mitchells refusing to buy the poultry.
The colored man walked up \Vall street
Chief Lockwood following. Reaching
River street the former quickencd his
pace and just above Dann’s stables broke
into a run. Chief Lockwood immediately
gave pursuit calling “Stop thief". Reach-
ing the railroad bridge the officer‘ fired
his revolver at the darkcy which only
resulted in making him run the faster.
Two more shots were fired with no effect.
The darkey dashed up the railroad track
and turned the corner towards Wilton
avenue. Just then Mr. William Sheldon
came along and the man in the darkness
ran into his arms. Mr. Sheldon had heard
the shooting and suspecting something
wrong closed his arms around the darkey
who thereupon concluded he wouldn’t
run any further. Mr. Sheldon held him
till Chief Lockwood came up when the
prisoner was escorted to the lockup. In
the morning he was arraigned before
Judge Selleck and confessed that he had
stolen the chickens. His wife, who by
the way, is a young white girl, also ap-
peared. Williams was fined $7 and sen-
tenced to thirty days in jail. The couple
live on the Stamford pike.

A Good School for the Wee Little Ones.
—M1's. A. H. Bisscll at her “Carter
Place" school, has hitherto been com-
pelled to decline receiving many very
small children, whom their parents have
urged upon her, because of her inability
to secure suitable assistance for their in-
struction. Having now secured the aid
of a most competent and useful assistant,
Mrs. Bissell will open, as soon as it can be
formed, a Kindergarten class for these
little ones whose parents desire them to
thus begin in the rudiments of their first
instruction. Applications may be made
at once and we take pleasure in commend-
ing the enterprise as one exceptionally
meritorious and desirable.

No Steamboat this Winter.
Tire steamer Harlem made its last trip
for the season on Saturday evening. Its
place will not be supplied this winter and
therefore those going to New York will
be obliged to take the train. In all prob-
ability an arrangement will shortly be
made whereby the freight of the road may
be transferred to and from New York by
water, but the matter is not perfected as
yet. Two responsible parties are already
making overtures for the passenger busi-
ness next summer, and in all probability
the finest steamer ever on the route will
ply between here and New York.
