OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, January 18, 1886.
DEAR GAZETTE :-Tlie presidential suc-
cession bill passed the house on Friday
precisely as it came from the senate, so.
that on rcceivinng. Cleveland’s signature
it will become the law of the land, and, in
event of the president’s death, Secretary of
State Bayard, instead of John Sherman,
will become Mr. Cleveland’s successor.
This is a great improvement upon our
present system, or want of system, in pro-
viding for the contingencyof a presiden-
tial succession. .It clearly shows the patri-
otism of the democratic party in that it
defeated the provisions of this bill during
President Arthur’s term, and now eagerly
espoused it because there was a partisan
advantage possible at this juncture in our
national affairs. » But a democratic con-
gress never was known to miss an oppor-
tunity to exhibit its selfish and narrow
partisanship. This bill is admitted on all
hands to be defective, but it mectthlie
present exigency, and the refusal of the
house to amend it at any point was the
speediest way of providing for the emer-
‘ gency in view. To amend it in any way
- would have sent it back to the senate and
fatal delay was feared. Now that all im-
mediate danger is disposed of, congress
ought to set itself to work to formulate a
more perfect presidential election and
succession law, including less lack and
loose methods in counting and returning
the electoral votes of the states. This is
the only long session in this presidential
term, which will be comparatively free
from the disturbing influences of ensuing
schemc's‘ for president making. If some-
thing is not accomplished this session it is
to be feared that nothing will be done for
many years to come. ‘ '
THE SENATE.
It is expected that Senator Eustis, of
Louisiana, will uncork the 'vials of his
wrath “forninst” his own party’s president
to-morrow. The expectation will cause
an impetuous filling of the galleries.
Wednesday is to be devoted to eulogizing
the life and character of ‘ the late vice:
president Hendricks.
Senator Sherman was summoned home
to Ohio, not to “repair his fences” in this
instance, but to receive the congratulations
of the Ohio legislature. ' He' left General
Hawley as his substitute in the vice-
president’s chair. .He certainly gave the
Ohio legislature some good advice in his
speech of thanks for his re-ele_etion. 11c
denounced the gross and confessed frauds
in the recent Ohio election, and said that
these crimes against the ballot must be
remedied by the united action of honest
men of both parties. He struck the key-
note of reform when he said that the safe
guard of elections was the system Of small
voting precints. The county system now
in vogue in Ohio he denounced as obsolete
and dangerous. Recentscvents have con—
vinced honest men of all parties in Ohio
that the elective machinery of the state
must be radically changed in the direction
indicated by Mr. Sherman. He returned
Saturday morning and expressed himself
as much pleased at the cordial reception
given him by the people of his state, dem-
ocrats as well as republicans joining in
welcoming him. -
PATENTS, me.
Chairman Mitchell escorted his house
committee through the patent office on
Saturday, that its members might person-
ally observe the nceds of that important
branch of the government. Here are men
and lady clerks huddled into basement
rooms, damp and dark, and iiotfittcd to
corrall animals in, with many divisions in
the office more than a year behind with
.their examinations of applications for
patents, while about two millions of dollars
of ovcrplus paid by the inventors of the
country to have their work properly done
lies idle in the treasury. It is a shame,
and a. disgrace, and a fraud upon the most
beneficent and meritorious class Of Ameri-
can citizens that this is so,and Represent-
ative Mitchell is in hopes of awakening
his committee at least to a sense of this
injustice, as Senator Platt did the senate
in his clear and exhaustive speech on the
subject at the last session, and of which
over thirty thousand copies were sub-
scribed for and distributed by American
inventors.
INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT.
On the 28th inst. a delegation of literary
men will have a hearing before the senate
committee on patents on the subject of
internationalcopyright. Among the dele-
gation will be ex-Minister Lowell, George
William Curtis, Mr. Howclls, Mark Twain
(Mr. Cicniens, of Hartford), cx—Minister
Kasson, and other noted authors and
publishers.
TELEPHONE.
Secretary Lamar-’5 decision in the tele-
phone case does not touch its scientific
bearings, but simply submits these ques-
tions to re—cxamination before a_ court.
He justifies the position assumed last
summer by the officers of the Department
of Justice in beginning a suit- against the
Bell company, in the name of the people,
to test the validity of certain patent-s al-
rcadyissued by the govern: elit. These
cases will now pi'obably’be tried, and of
course they will be watched with the
kcencst interest, as a very large amount
of property is at stake. The secretary’s
action is severely criticised by patent
men, and yet it- is safe to say that the
illiberality of the Bell Telephone company
has created so universal a prejudice that
the public would rejoice at the undoubted
injustice and wrong of its utter overthrow.
TIIE EADs PROJECT.
The model of the Ead’s ship railway,
which was ill \Vashington last winter, has
been broughtback and set up in the mili-
tary committee robin ofxthc, senate. This
looks as if the ship railway project was to
be pushed in congress this session. 'Ex—
Senator and ex-Secretary of the Treasury
Windom is new president of this. inter-
~ oceanic ship canal company, and will, no
doubt, push the scheme with all his well,
known ability and energy.
Sliil' BUILDING.
The bureau of statistics gives out the
comforting facts (if it is true that misfor-
tune loves company) that Great Britain is
sufiering more than we in regard to ship
building.‘ If there is a country where this
branch should flourish it is in England.
But the figures are most appalling. In
1883 shipping to the extent of 1,250,000
ions was launched ; in 1884 this total fell
to 750,000, and from that again in 1885 to
540,000 tons, and so anxious were the
yards to secure contracts that what work -
was done gave little or no profit. ‘
“DBUMMERS.” ,
The bill introduced by Senator Platt for
the relief of commercial travelers from un-
just taxes iii the cities they visit, brought
down a large body of these men on Thurs-
day last for a hearing before the senate
committee on commerce. A more intelli-
gent or finer looking body of men we have
never seen seeking redress before con-
gress. They claim,tilt-{association has a
membership of 250,000 and their financial
transactions reach the enormous aggregate
of over $380,000,000 per year. They in-
sist that the slate and municipal taxes
specially imposed upon them is unconsti-
tutional, and they have "to opinions of the
best legal talent in the 1 lion to support
their views. -
. DEMANDS or LABon.‘
At a meeting of the Knights of Labor
recently held here one of the foremost
speakers demanded that congress should
enact such laws as would compel the run-
ning of all manufacturing and distributing
industries, including telegraph and mines,
by the government for the benefit of the
people. Mr. Julian Wright urged the_
necessity for doing away with the limita-
tion of apprentices and advocated a re-
turn to the old system of indenturcs, with
modifications, so as to prevent a deteri—
f
time saying: 8 ‘ ‘A gum drop for the GAZETTE
i
oration in the merit of skilled labor. A
local workingnien’s club has, been organ-
ized here, which is highly commended,
and, as might be supposed, has become
very popular among the variouslrades
unions which flourish here.
.A iIITon.
Several senate committees have
letters of inquiry to the department heads
from whence removals of republicans
have been made before the expiration of
their commissions: 1W1 democrats ap-
pointed, to know on what grounds the
civil service. law is thus violated. A
cabinet meeting has spent three hours, it
is said, in trying to invent some scheme
by which an answer may be evaded, and
a senate canons of nearly equal length was
held to agree upon some just plan by
which every such nominee should either
be held up or rejected until a satisfactory
explanation is given by the administration.
Republican senators do not complain that
their friends are removed and democrats
put in their places. That they expect.
The census belli is that under the hypocrit-
ical utterances of the president and _lus
cabinet [ministers that no honest and faith-
ful ot‘iice'r should be removed because of
his differing in political opinion, puts
every republican removed under the ban
of not being honest or faithful, and it is
against this feature of the wholesale re-
movals that our senators demur. Collect-
or Troup was confirmed without opposi-
tion in the senate, and probably his frank
and honest reasons for rcmovals—-tliat it
was only and solely because the places
under him were held by republicans and
he wanted them held by democrats—won
him far more respect than the false and
deceptive assurances made by the admin-.
istration that no republicans are removed
because of their political opinions. For
better be open, frank and honest and de
clarc “that we democrats beat you repub-
licans at the polls, and we want and will
have the spoils of our victory.”
' EXPLAINED.
It had been whispered about that, a
certain prominent federal official in our
state, who has held his office a score or
more of years as a professed republican,
had been. beguiled into secretly giving in
his adherence to the wily Mr. William H.
Barnum, and worked secretly for Cleve-
land instead of for Blaine. The true facts
came to the surface in executive session
last week, and Connecticut stands vindi-
cated. It tun-nod out to have been one
Collector Armstrong, of Utica, N. Y.
Secretary Manning sent to the senate let-
ters showing that Collector Armstrong had
communicated tol’rivate Secretary Lamont
and Congressman Spriggs a statement
that while training as a stalwart republi-
can he had quietly done all in power to
help the democrats, and that if he were in
office he might, as a professed republican,
be able to render valuable service to the
democratic party. The treachery which
this statement disclosedwas so detestable
to the president and his secretary that
.Ariiistron g was summarily bounced.
sunnsx DEATH.
Official and social circles ‘were terribly
shocked on Saturday p. m. by the an-
nounceme'nt that the eldest daughter of
Secretary of State Bayard had been found
dead in her bed. The night before she
had assisted her parents in receiving a
card party at the' secretary’s hospitable
home, and was to assist Miss ”Cleveland
Saturday at 2 o’clock in her regular weekly
public reception. Her death caused the
instant closing of the White House, and
the recalling of dinner cards sent out for a
state dinner by the president on Monday
evening. She was an accomplished lady,
and greatly beloved by all who knew her,
and her sudden demise caused by heart
disease has cast a shock and gloom over
all the gay circles of (Washington society.

The South Norwalk Crossing.
The Railroad Commissioners met with
the Councilmen of South Norwalk at the .
COuncil'rooms last Thursday to take ac- ;
tion on the Washington Street crossing
question, the whistling nuisance, etc, .
The testimony was voluminous and the
witnesses numerous. City AttorncyLigllt
sidcnt Wat-
rous for the Consolidated road. The first
discussion was over the whistling ques-
tion ‘ The city gave a description showing
Where the boundary lines of the city cross
the railroad. Mr. Watrous assured the
city that the company didn’t whistle be-
cause they wanted to, but because the law
compelled them to, and they would gladly
stop when the Commissioners gave them
permission. Supt. Crawford of the Dan-
bury 8: Norwalk told where his engines
whistle in Norwalk and would not object
to an order to stop whistling. The result
was an order to discontinue whistling
where petitioners requested.
The next subject considered was‘the
speed of trains running over the Washing—
ton strect crossing. John YV. Powell
thought six miles an hour should he the
limit of speed; if faster there should be
two flagmen. Rev. Mr. Ross said there
should be two flagn’ien because two trains
sometinies pasg on the crossing going the
same way; he didn’t know how often this
occurs. R. H. Rowan thought about as
the other witnesses on the questions of
speed and flagmen. Gen. Taylor said 600
teams and 3,000 to 4,000 people ‘cross the
railroads there each day. D. P. Ely's
limit was six miles an hour, and prefers
flagmen to gates; he objected to the
nightly whistling for brakcmen, J. Dono.
van said the railroad people say ten miles
an hour and go 30; he thinks gates are
'not wanted. Captain Clarke was strenu-
ously opposed to gates'as “death traps.”
Matthew Corbett saw the flagman killed,
and said the train was running faster than
ten miles, although it was to stop at the
depot. C. F. Hallock preferred flagmen;
said he wished the authorities could see
the 5:25 p. in. express train go through, it
would “make their hair stand up." An-

Joint standing committee on judiciary
authorized to enquire into and report on
the question of transportation of members
by free pass or commutation tickets fur-
nished by the state. Resolution passed
authorizing 2,500 additional copies of
Commissioner Hadley’s labor report_to be
printed. Petition of Ferris school district
at Huntington, for issuance of bonds, re-
ferred to committee on education. Bill
introduced by King, of Naugatuek, on
child labor, providing that no child under
21 should be employed over ten hours,
vocates of flagmen. W. C. Street con-
sidered two flagmen better than gates;
foot people will walk around or under
gates. Nelson J. Taylor, Jr., thought one
flaginan sufficient if trains ran at seven to
ten miles, but two should be on duty if
the speed was in excess of that. Dr.
Burke testified as Mr. Taylor did. Mayor
Richards prefers two fiagmen as gates are
inefficient.
Mr. Watrous in analyzing the testimony,
said he thought attorney Light had pre-
pared his testimony with a view of secur-
ing two fiaamen. He had found one flag-
man quite as efficient as two. People
have no business to attempt to cross a bar-
rier placed for their protection. The rail-
road should not be compelled to protect a
community against the danger of its own
rashncss.
Vice President Reed said the adoption
of a six mile rate of speed would compel
the road to adopt a new schedule of time
and cause them to miss their connections,
and a six mile rate would increase the
danger, as persons would attempt to jump
on and off. ‘
Commissioner Woodriiff said an order
was given some weeks ago that the speed»
should not exceed 10 miles on this cross-
ing under penalty of $100.
Supt. Stevenson considers gates prefer-
able to flagmen. Assistant President
Shepard said the road had been prosecut-
cd for damage through inefficient flag-
men but never through gates. President
Lockwood and Supt. Crawford of the D.
d: N. road agreed that gates are the only
adequatelprotection. When a score of
people are-crossing at the same time a
flagman could neither stop nor notify
them of danger. After a little cross-firing
between the lawyers the session was ad—
journed. The commissioners will render
their decision in due‘time.

'Eydrophobin.
Luke W. White, who was quoted as
avowing his disbelief in the existence of
such a disease as hydrophobia,‘ writes to
the Bridgeport News denying the state-
ment. “There is," he says, “such, a
disease as hydrophobia, but it is not of
spontaneous origin in the dog. It is
capable of transmission to man and most'
warm blooded animals.” He thinks the
“mad dogs” that of late seem to agitate
the people are simply paper dogs. Only
a small per cent. of persons who may be
bitten evqp by a really rabid animal, will
be likely to have the hydrophobia. He
treats in a sensible, temperate manner the
disease as science has found it, and de-
preciatcs the tendency of the press to
create a panic of fear where no danger
exists. Mr. White shows that hydropho-
bia is a disease of great antiquity and was
described by Aristotle and historians of
every age and country. If Mr. White’s
diagnosis of'the disease is correct—and
evidence is wanting to show it otherwise
—it is hardly creditable to the boasted en-
lightenment of this generation, that the
only progress the world has made with
relation to hydrophobia, is the creation
and intensification of a superstitious hor—
ror_that makes it to us a more hideous
bugaboo than it was to the barbarians of
the dark ages.

The Judge’s Calf.
Some years ago, when the Model Mar-
ket was run by a well remembered cele-
brity, “Lengthy” by name and lengthy in
frame, a certain Judge whose name shall
be nameless, asked him to come to his
(the Judge’s,) farm and- buy a fine calf.
Accordingly “Lengthy” appeared at the
farm with his “steelyards” for weighing
the animal, and with the assistance :of
the J udgc, the calf was “slung” for weigh-
ing, but it was found that when suspend-
cd from the .steelyards the calf ’3 head
touched the ground, thus influencing the
weight several pounds in Lengthy’s favor.
0n observing this the J udgc emphatically
objected, whereupon Lengthy blandly
said: “Very well Judge, you 'just hold
the critter’s head up off the ground while
I weigh him.” The Judge innocently com-
plied-.and, taking the calf by the ears he
pulled up so vigorously that its weight
fell off 25 pounds. The Judge never
“tumbled” ,to Lengthy’s shrdwd trick,
but never could understand how he man-
aged to get so far “ofi ” in his guess Oil
that calf’s weight.

The Twelfth annual meeting of the Ma-
sonic'Mutual Benefit Association was held
in New Haven, last week. The year just
closed has cost the members $15.15 for
each $1,000 insurance, and the cost since
the organization of the ass ociation has av-
eraged by $9 78 per annum, including the
running expenses of theassociation. Some
members have withdrawn from the asso-
ciation or allowed their names to be strick—
en from the rolls of membership for non-
payment of assessments. During the year
four of these have died. thus depriving
their families. of the $2,000 each would
have received had the membership been

Borough Meeting.
’ At the special borough meeting yester-
day, a tax of 10 mills was laid to cover
expenditures for the ensuing year. Mr.

camp of the Court of burgesses by moving
that the highway work be given to the
lowest bidder. The warden decided the
motion out of order. Mr. Honneckcr zip.
pealed and the meeting sustained his
appeal. The motion was then voted on
and lost by one vote. A resolution was
passed requesting the borough and city

_ MEXICO,
BY MR. CHARLES M. SEYMOUR, OF NEW YORK.
The strangest, grandest, richest, yet most
wretched country in the world. Perhaps the most
striking feature of this lecture will appear to be
the magnificence of its illustrations—more numer-
ous and wonderful than anything ever before at-
tempted upon any subject. One hundred specially
prepared illuminated pictures will be shown by
means of instruments constructed for Mr. Sey-
mour at great expense, with oxy-hydrogen lights
and lenses of enormous power, capable of produc-
ing a picture of 600 feet square.

After 30 Years’ Use.
A New York paper suggests that the re-
cent accident at Pelliamvillc may have.
been caused by the absence of flanges on
the forward driving wheels of engines.
It says: The forward driving wheels on
most of the engines of the N.Y., N. H. and
H. R. R. are flangcless, which is an idea
of Mr; Henney, the master of motive power
on the road, and was adopted by him in
order to secure speed and to prevent the
spreading of the track in passing curves.
It then quotesthe local coroner at Pelham-
ville as saying that any slight obstruction
is apt to throw the engines from-the rails,
owing to the lack of this additional flange
left off 'in order to avoid friction while
rounding curves.
Superintendent Davidson, when his at-
tention was called to the matter, charac- .
terized the whole story as nonsense. He
said that every engine on the Hartford di-
vision during the last thirty years had been
- run without flanges on the forward drivers
on account of the curve forming the ap-
proach to the Springfield station which
rendered their use impracticable, and he
further stated that he had never known of
an accident that could be traced directly
or indirectly to this ‘fact. Mr. Henney
did not originate this idea Of removing
the flange on the New York division, it
being done simply to enable the New York
engines to run through to Springfield over
the curve just mentioned.
