OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, December 23, 1885.
DEAR GAZETTE :—The Christmas festivi-
ties, social and religious, at the home
and the church, at the Capital wereunpre-
cedentedly interesting and extensive as
the weather was, unprecedentedly fine
Probably in no city of the' globe were there
more systematic efforts made to diffuse
Christmas cheer and happiness among the
needy who have no merry Christmas at
home. The Christmas club, composed
mainly of young ladies, provided a sump.
tiious dinner to—over two thousand desti.
tiitc children, and the proprietor of Wil-
lard’s hotel distributed five hundred tur-
keys tc families reported to him by his
solicitation by the police department to be
worthy and suffering for food. This gen-
erous landlord is entitled to all the benefit
derivable from his wide-spread advertise-
ment, and we trust he may find his hu-
mans action returned to him a thousand
fold. The anonymous individual, who
calls for and takes out all the letters in the
city post office addressed to,“Santa Claus,”
had over a hundred this year. Several
were presumably written by “grown up
children,” and many other: by the children
of parents able to provide for their own,
but it is said so expert has he become that
he can instantly detect these spurious
appeals, and, while he returns a polite
note to such inculcating‘lcssoas of charity,
he sends a present to every undoubtedly
poor child who writes a letter thus ad-
dressed.
ooxcnsss.
The only interesting subjects discussed
concerning the reassembling of Congress
is the make-up of the house committees,
and the inevitable democratic split on the
silver coinage bill. The general opinion
places Representative Mitchell at the head
of the house committee on patents, and
Speaker Carlislo will show his good judg-
ment by making good the general wish or
expectation. The democratic bombard-
Vment of the administration from the demo-
cratic side, so successfully begun by
Senator Beck just before adjournment, is
sure to be resumed when congress recon-
venes. That party may be able to work a
* “straddle” on the tariff and on civil ser-
vice 'this Session, but it is sure to split on
the silver question.
ooxsur. WALLER.
Consul-General T. M. Wallcr’s first re.
. port to the state department ‘ has made a
decided “hit,” as the showman say, and
has justly won for himself very high es-
teem in government circles. It is a brief
survey of the industrial condition of Eng-
land; and the facts adduced are of a
nature to put American workingmon to
thinking, and fill them with gratitude for
the degree of comfort and happiness they
enjoy. Wr. Waller shows that while the
total wealth of the United Kingdom if
divided equally among the inhabitants,
would allow $1,245 to every man, woman
and child, or quite a moderate fortune to
each family of much size. still, “the pe-
cuniary condition ofa large part of the
population is exceedingly distressing."
He says there are more than one million
persons formally registered as paupers,
and outside of these open objects of
charity among the laboring masses “the
poverty is undoubtedly greater than has
has ever been witnessed in the United
States." It is the same in France, Ger-
many and Italy. Everywhere on the con-
tinent of Europe is seen the most abject
poverty of the masses. Nothing like it is
to be found in this country. Consul
Wallcr’s report conclusively proves— that
nowhere do the masses of the laboring
people enjoy such privileges, comforts
and dignitics as in the United States of
America. All the causes Of this destitution
and distress in England and'on the conti-
nent cannot be detailed, but the principal
ones are given by our cx~govcrnor. He
writes that the current governmental cx-
pcnditures of the United Kingdom for the .
last current year were $596,139,995, or
more than twice as much as ours with a
" ipopulation. He names the
of size. The lai'gcst‘is to
on the national debt; and
:escnts Mir piled upon war,
generation after generation. And the
next largest item is “for the maintenance
of the army,”er more war. Then follows
the item to provide for the civil adminis-
tration of the empire, and next the appro-
priation for the navy—more money for
armed strife. And the people have to
pay for all this; and it is this that keeps
~‘ .' .. the taste of meat. We,
ve reason to thank God
le preferzpeace and the
gs.
muons.
Tie Star entertained its readers Satur-
day cvening with the following (among
nearly two columns of others) descriptive
accounts of the turnouts of our wealthy
winter sojourners here :-—~ .
Representative Mitchell, of Connecticut,
is the owner of a very fine team, well
matched in size and movement, though
not in color. Both are clipped and have
their tails banged very short. One is a
sorrel], or perhaps a dun, and the other a
bay tinged With roan. The harness is
silver mounted, and the men on the box
wear dark green livery. The elegant
i. ----- ' . 7:13 a monogram in red on the
- has besides a couple of hand-
RIM:
I
some chestnuts. His other carriages are
a Victoria and a T-cart. _
The horses of Mr. Farnum, of New
Haven,arc beautiful round-bodied bays of
a deep rich color. They have reached
mancs and‘banged tails. They are driven
by a French ccachmau with a French;
footman, to a handsome coupe. The
turnout makes a very complete appear-
ance. Everything seems to fit. .
That very stylish pair of high stepping
browns, clipped and tails banged, with
silver mono rams all over their harness,
belongs to rs. Tyler, of New London,
Conn. They draw a jet black coupe, and
a. white driver in light livery han les the
reins.
Senator Sabin, [a Windhamtcounty boy],
owns one of the finest stables in the city,
com oscd of nine horses. He has a air-
of bi‘iiek Hambletonian horses, value at
$2,500, driven toboth a coupe and landau.
He has another horse valued at $1,200, a
rim eblack-coupe horse valued at $500,
an a pair of handsome roadster: that are
first-class travelers.
rsasoxus.
The congressional excursion to the New
Orlean’s exhibition did not attract any one
of any note. A
General Hawley has returned here from
his New England dinner in New York.
Miss Thompson, of South Norwalk, is
here visiting the Rev. Dr. Chester‘s fam-
ily. They made a trip to Mount Vernon
on Thursday. As ever. . B.

the winter in Washington? Alack the
day! but having for 10! these many years,
withbuta single exception, (’76-7), spent
the winters “at home," surely during the
current season Norwalk is good enough
for me.

It is encouraging to note that a wedding
in high social life is soon to be announced.
Let high society keep it up, and the under
strata follow suit.

‘.Why didn’t somebody pray for snow?
In a “white Christmas” there is at least a
‘ reminder, to us who have passed life‘s
meridian, of Christmas as it was. Solemn
is the fact that the gladsome Christmas
time is gladsome to most of us, only as we
see our own childhood’s glee mirrored in
the happiness of the little ones about us.

The “short hair craze” isn’t a very crazy
craze with Norwalk’s girls apparently, al.
though some have succumbed. And it
must‘be admitted that once in a while a
girl can be found whose personal appear. '
nose is at least not spoiled by a cropped
head. But the rule is otherwise.

Norwalk ought to have a good amateur
dramatic company. Surely there is suf-
ficient histeonic talent here from which to
select a company who would put to th e
blush some of the cheap professional
“combinations" who have belittled the
actor's calling in the Opera House within
a year, and it needs only an organizer to
3get it together—somebody who has influ.
'ence with the capable young people, male
and female. ‘ Now there's my young
friend J. S. Bailey. His position in society
and in the popular estimation would seem
to point him out as the very one to head
the project. Then there‘s his contempor-
ary, Treadwell, eminently slender whose
lead in the movement would be a lead to
inevitable success. Or Dr. Many who has
often given evidence of his ability on the ,
stage. Henry Price, too, would inspire
confidence in the stability and excellence
of the undertaking. There are plenty of
names that could be suggested, which
would lend to the scheme the requisite
quality to insure success and public con.
fidcncc. If some of them would make a
sacrifice of their inherent modesty and set
the ball in motion they would surely have
the reward of full appreciation. The
prospective minstrel show by the military
company is a step in the right direction
and should be the entering wedge.
' s t a:
The season is now well advanced, and
no steps have been taken for providing a
means of profitably and pleasantly passing'
the long evenings. To be sure we can
dance, sing, attend class meetings, etc.
we have had some few lectures, too, but
the sine qua non seems to have been over.
:looked—a lyceum, literary sooiety or
circle, having for its object a better ac-
quaintance with popular authors, the dis-
cussion of timely topics, social, political
or otherwise, and mutual improvement
and progress. The formation of such a
circle could not be- otherwise than bene-
ficial, especially if .class and clique dis-
tinction were conscientiously repudiated, ,
and the rules governing admission to
membership framed to require in candi-
dates only the qualificationsfiof good moral
character, and an honest desire for the
Order’s good. Can this be done here in
Norwalk? Can upper crust meet plebeian
on a half-way level? As' the experiment
isn’t likely to be tried, speculation on the
probabilities is siiperflous. ‘ L

Christmas with its good cheer and its
family reunions and hallowed memories is
past. What a glorious institution it is!
No other day in the swift revolving cycle
brings with it the lofty inspirations, the,
emotions which cluster ’round this sacred
day. “Good will to men”-~never does
this injunction come with, more resistless
force ; never is it more willingly accepted
than (in Christmas day. How forcibly we
realize then that life is all too short for the
strife, the jealousies and the thousand
petty discontents that go to make so much
of it a dreary waste. All the other stars
that bejewcl the firmnment of life shine
with a lustre borrowed from the Star of ,
Bethlehem that twinkles away back in the
realm of childhood and shoots its genial
rays of hope over our shoulder to illume
the pathway into the future. In the
scenes of good cheer, enacted beneath the
festoonery of holly and mistletoe, that
feeling prevails which inspired Tiny Tim's
immortal sentiment :4-“God bless us,
every one i"

It is earnestly to be proper! that the re-
quisite number of subscriptions may be
obtained to secure the remaining two con-
certs by the Beethovcn Trio Club for cer-
tain it is that the class of music rendered
and the grade of talent represented, it has
never before been Norwalk’s good fortune
to enjoy. Our citizens should not view the
matter of subscribing, in the light of “pat-
ronizing" the entertainment, but rather as
a means of securing for themselves a most
desirable and refreshing festival in the ac.
curate interpretation of the masterpieces
of the masters of music.

That Wilson Point Road.
The matter of the Wilson Point high-
way dispute which was mentioned in last
week's Gazarrn, has been adjusted to the
satisfaction of all, concerned and uncon-
cerned. The Railroad Commissioners met
with the railroad and town attorneys at_
shelfiity Hotel on Wednesday, and after a
few remarks by Attorney Perry, on behalf
of the Danbury d: No'rwalk Railroad Com.
pany, and Warner for the town of Nor-
walk, an adjustment was quickly made,
which provides that the town may go
ahead and build a road to replace the one
rendered useless by the Railroad com-
pany’s extension to Wilson Point, and the 1
Railroad company will settle the expense '
of construction. Tho'amicsble and speedy
settlement of the matter entitles both par-_
ties to mutual congratulation. :

A Letter from Frederloks.
Lawyer Light has received a letter from
Fredericks, the fugitive thief, which was
posted at Station 0., New York. It
abounds in bad grammar, bad spelling,
bad profanity and bad names for Consta-
ble Hall of New Canaan, whom he accuses
of accepting a bribe of $147, and of being
a ”drunken thief.” He says he gave Hall
$147 to settle the Raymond robbery affair,
but $250 more was demanded which he
Was unable 'to furnish, whereupon Hall
“acted as if he wanted to arrest me, so I
cleared out,” leaving the wife and the
money that had been paid over. He‘de-
nounces‘Hsll for his treatment of Mrs.
Fredericks, who was “put in that rat
whole that the Peopel of New Canaan call
recover the $147 from Bali, “take your
fee onto! it and give the rest to my wife.”
His solicitude for his wife’s comfort is evi-
dently the one redeeming trait of the
man‘s character. He pays Editor Kirk a
lefthanded compliment by calling him
“that wooden man that runs the New
Canaan Messenger." The letter, through—
out, shows that Fredericks is cognizdnt
of every motion of his pursuers, and be-
trays a shrewdness lilat‘Wiii require keen
detective generalship to over-match.
Railroad Accident.
The Springfield ‘ ‘owl" train which passes
South Norwalk shortly after five o’clock
in the morning ran into a longlplank plat-
form that the heavv wind had blown over
onto the track Sunday morning, near Pel-
hamville. The locomotive, 'tender and
mail car were hurled down a 75-foot em-
bankment, and two sleepers, one baggage
car and a smoker escaped almost miracul-
ously from going down the bank. The
fireman sustained injuries which resulted
in his death in a short time. The engineer
narrowly escaped being burned to death.
There were six mail agents in the mail
car, all Of whom were morejor lessinjnred,
and the passengers in'tlie other cars were
considerably shaken up, the crash having
occurred while. the train was running at
the rate of 40 miles an liour.- Theinjured
persons were promptly attended to and 'a
wrecking train was immediately despatch-
ed to the scene of the catastrophe and the
work of clearing up the wreck and getting
the derailed cars back onto the track was
vigorodsly prosecuted. Stiperintendent
Stevenson says the extent of the damage
is $4,000, and expresses astonishment that
’ the list of msualtios was not larger.
