SEC. ‘ . It shall be the duty of the town of

county and his successors in office, a deed to
the acceptance of any three of said Judges eon-
ve 'ng to said treasurer and his successors in
0 as for said county the right to said rooms.
for the purposes aforesaid, during the time
when said court shall be by law held in said
Norwalk. .
SEO. 3. It shall also be the duty Of said town
of Norwalk to erect, free of any expense to said
county, a suitable jail of capacity .egual to and
no greater than that of the present Jul at Bridge-
port to the acceptance Ofany three Of the Judges
of the said supreme court With the necessary ar-
rangments for the confinement of persons com-
mitted to jail in said county and the same convey
by deed to the treasurer of said county and his
successors in ofi'lce, for the purpose aforesaidi
to the acceptance Of said judges, and when sai
jail shall have been so accepted it_shall be a

and is hereby authorized by a major vote to
lay and collect any tax necessary to carry into
effect the rovisions Of the preceding sections.
SEC. 6. I said town of Norwalk shall. not on
or before have erected said buildings ac-
cording to the provisions of the preceding sec-
tions said town shall forfeit and ~ pay into the
treasury of the county of Fairfieldihe sum of

for that purpose in the name of the treasurer
of said county, and said courts shall continue,
to be held and the county Jail shall remain at
B 'd e ort as heretofore. ‘ .
gag. El). All acts and parts Of acts inconsistent
herewith are hereby repealed.
It will be seen from the above that Nor-
walk Offers to take the whole matter of a
new courthouse and jail of! the county’s
hands and erect suitable accommodations
here in Norwalk free of all cost to the
county. The only stipulation is that when
this has been done the present jail and the
right to the present court house shall he-
come the property Of the town of Nor-
walk. Under this bill no expense What-
ever is entailed upon the county at large,
therefore no county tax would needs be
laid.
Now let us look on the other side.
Bridgeport asks for an apprOpi-iation of
$125,000, “or such other sum as
may be needed,” from the county.
In all probability this “other sum” would
not be less than $250,000 before the build-
ing was finished. Estimating, however,
at only $125,000 the sum asked for, the
towns affected must pay as follows, out-
side of Bridgeport :—
Danbury ................................. $13,203.30
Bethel ...................... ' ..... 2,164.40
Brookfield - .. 1,255.50
Darien. . 8.885.
Eaton... 902.40
Fairfield . . 4,903.80
Greenwich.. . ................... 8,475.70

Ridgefield . . . . . .
Stamford. .
Sherman . 763.7
Stratford. . 3,424.00
1,339.70
. . 860.10
Westport. . . . . 4,639.70
Wilton . . 1,510.40
asenort“ , asks
each town to pay for the “privilege” of lo-
cating the new court house in Bridgeport.
And if, as seems more than probable under
her resolution,shc should call for $250,000,
the above amounts must be multiplied by
two and even then may be insufiicient.
Norwalk Offers it all FREE. And because
/ she does, and thereby makes a county lax
unnecessary ‘and saves to the towns the
sums named above, the taxpayers of the
county will closely watch the vote of their
representatives at Hartford to-morrow
when they meet in convention to decide
the matter.
The People will not vote for men who
tax them unnecessarily.

John B. Gough.
John B. Gough is dead, and has left no
successor, for he filled a place that he had
made for himself, and which no other man
could occupy. For more than forty years
Mr. Gough has been before the people as a
lecturer on many themes, and was known
to more persons than any other American
citizen of his time. To many in this com-
munity, as in. every other country, his
death comes as a personal bereavement.
When the “Maine Law" issue, was before
the electors of Connecticut, Mr. Gough
canvassed Fairfield County very thorough-
ly and was for three weeks guest at the
house of the Editor of this paper. His
lastwords-uttcred when he fell on aPhila-
delphia stage “ Young mag make your record

The Difi‘erence.
Last week, in Philadelphia, there died
a man of National reputation. He was
honored by all; and no one man ever did
more to advance the glOrious cause of
temperance. His name was John B.
Gough. _
In South Norwalk, a few days before,
there lectured to a small audience another
‘ 'man of National reputation. He is honor-
ed by none; and no one man ever did
more to harm and retard ‘ the glorious
cause of temperance. His name is John
P. St. John. .
Mr. Gough kept In’l temperance out of
politics.

those representatives who don’t vote riaht

shows how wildly excited it is:—Br1dge-

- The Reason is Plain. '
The Danbury News is the only paper in
Fairfield county, outside of Bridgeport,
‘ which does not advocate Norwalk in the
matter of locating the new county court
over till tO—morrow, Tuesday. Almost
three months of the session have now
passed, and yet the large and dominating
democratic majority of the house has
enacted none of the pressing and impera-
tivelegislation. The senate has worked
with a becoming diligence and sense of
appreciation of its responsibilities and the
public needs. The public may fairly scan
the diligent adherence to work and duty
Of the senate, and then the school boy
waste of time by the house, and compare
the two bodies as examples of republican
and democratic methods Of doing the pub-
lic work. There is little hope that the
democratic house will meet the just ex-
pectations of the country by thecnactment
of any Of the great public measures -it so
bOastfully set out to do. It will. undoubt-
cdly go on to the end in its present slip-
shod way, rush through such appropri-
ation and other bills as must be passed
and then, when the heat of July or August
dissolve their body, adjourn and go home
and ask the ”dear people” for another two
years lease of power.
TIIE PRESIDENT AND SENATE.
At a republican caucus of the senate
last Wednesday, SenatOr Edmunds pre-
seated and had unanimously passed reso-
lutions condemning the action Of the ad-
ministration in removing cx—Union soldiers
and sailors and appointing in their places
civilians; in refusing information, on file
in the departments, When asked'ifor by the
senatc,'in explanation of the causes of
removals made pending the unexpired
terms of the incumbent’s commission, the
same being unprecedented, indefensible
and most reprehensible, and declaring
that in all such cases where nominations
have been made to fill vacancies caused
by removals, and the heads of depart-
ments refuse to give the senate the infor-
mation called for, the nominee shall be
rejected. These resolves were referred to
the judiciary committee, and by it re-
ported to the senate. This stand of the
republican majority Of the senate will
make it exceedingly interesting and lively
for the administration if it continues to
refuse to furnish all the records in the
,case of its new appointees. As the pre-
cedents of former and other administra-
tions are brought to light the right of the
senate to make its demands will be found
to be based on precedent as well asclearly
established eight. The president has at
various times made public declarations
from which the inference is inevitable that
many of the suspended officials must have
been charged with Official misconduct or
personal dishonesty, The senate has a
ri ht to see and examine such charges,
and it cannot possibly consent to virtually
indorse them in ignorance of what they
are, as it would do by blindly confirming
vasion of the president‘s prerogatives._ It

CHINA To CLAIM INDEMNITY.
towns and cities of California .except San
Francisco, and that the governor of the
state and the sheriffs of the various coun-
ties show no disposition to protect the
Chinese. It is understood that it is the
minister’s intention to invoke the protec-
tion of the general government, sad to
lay the foundation for a ‘claim of money
indemnity similar to the claims that have
been advanced by the United States in a
large number of cases and paid by China
as indemnity for injuries sustained _by
American citizens in that empire. China
suggests politely that if we insist on turn-
ing its people out of our borders in defi-
ance of treaty obligations and Of law and
.order, maybe we wouldn’t mind paying a
reasonable bill for the piper after enjoying
the dance.
PENSIONS.
The treasury department has paid out
about $10,000,000 so far this month on ac-
count of pensions.
rnENon SPOLIATION.
0n the lat of March the court of claims
will enter 'upon the French spoliation
claims amounting, it is estimated, to
about $12,000,000.
GENERAL HAWLEv.
Several days ago General Hawley rc-
ccived a cablcgram from Lord Tennyson
congratulating him on having introduced
an international copyright bill. This the
senator kept to himself, but Saturday the
news item was cabled from London to the
press. Hawley is both praised and cen-
sured for this bill. '
Senator Hawley “pitched into the Blair
educational bill” Friday, and stated that
the state board of education Of Connecti-
cut had reported against it. He did not
state that the cranky Professor Sumner
was the supposed author of our Connecti-
cut protest, or that our present board is
supposed tovfavor that perhaps too liberal
measure. '
. WOMEN’S RIGHTERS.
Those earnest and delightful prehistoric
ladies,‘Aunt Susan B. Anthony, ct id, etc.,
have been here the past week? lecturing
on women‘s right to ,the ballet. Their
arguments and logic and speeeehes were
as unauswcrable as a fog horn.
THE PRESIDENT IN MORE HOT WATER.
A delegation of the Women’sindustrial
league called at the White House Thurs-
day afternoon to see the president by ap-
pointment made by the president ’Satur-
day. They were notified that the presi-
dent would meet and shake hands with
them in the east room at his géneral re-
ception. The members of the delegation
declined to go in the east room, claiming
that their appointment was to have an in-
terview with the president and not to
shake hands with him. They left the
White House breathing indignation. Mrs.
Charlotte Smith, who acted as spokesman,
said they had a number of matters to call
to the attention of the president, includ-
ing the manner in which the towel wash-
ing contracts were given out in the dc.
partments to theninjury of poor working
women, entitled to, and who had always
had the work. One of the proud boasts
of the newsecretary of the treasury is that
he saves $250 a year by sending the treas-
ury towels to a Chinese laundry, instead
of giving them to the widows of old
treasury employees ashis republican pre-
decessors had done. -

_ . What Others Think.
[From the Greenwich Graphic]
It is well-known that upper and lower
Norwalk, so called, have for many year_s
been at loggerheads, much to the detri-
ment of both places. No doubt if theyhad
pulled together harmoniously, Norwalk
would have rivaled Bridgeport. The old
town seems to have got woke up lately,
and surprised its own people as much as
the neighboring places, by making a
handsome bid for the county buildings.
Good for Norwalk. We‘d like to see the
count buildings located there, and so
woul almost every one else down this way.
Go it Norwalk, and win.
[Jealous Danbury News]
Considering that Bridgeport has today
one-third or more of the property of the
county, and full one-half the law business
of the county, and that in ten years: time
it is bound to_be the biggestcity and richest
in the state, What infinite “bosh” it is, to
be sure, to talk of Norwalk as the sole
county seat of Fairfield county.
[Truthful Ridgeneld Press.)
Our interests. lie in the direction of
Norwalk. -Of course Danbury will not
vote for a change for it too has its little
courthouse, and in the no distant future it
will grow so large that it, too, will ask to
be made a sole county seat. But we are
not “poohed”-out of our own opinion just
yet. ~
{Hartford Post.)
The Fab-field county seat dispute has
only begun in its ficrccncss. Hitherto it
has been child’s play with the advantages
apparently in Bridgeport‘s favor; but now
it will be a battle of giants: Norwalk has
taken up a strong position and has many
arguments to urge—such as a geographical
center and exemption from tax for new
buildings. Hartford is at some distance
from the cause of controversy,:but she will
watch the battle with interest.
[Stamford Advocate.]
The amount of it is this: The rivalry Of
Norwalk and Bridgeport has Opened what
seems to be afair prospect of securing new
and adequate county buildings without any
expense to the tax-payers Of the county at
lar e. We hold it to be the dutylof our
legislators to make the most of the institu-
tion for the benefit of the taxpayers. It is
commonly said that the lawyers seem to
favor BridgepOrt, and from their superior
powers of persuasion carry other members
with them. But these gentlemen should
remember that they are not lawyers in
their relation to'tbc matter; or, if they
are, the taxpayers are their clients and
have given them a retainer to engage their
best service. - -. .

St. John in Connecticut.
Under this caption the New York Sun
gives the following account of a little
affair which has caused many a smile to
light up the solemn faces of our Hartford
law makers. Says the Sun:
It has just leaked out how Speaker T ib-
bits sat down on ex-Gov. St. John, the
Prohibition candidate for president last
year, during a recent visit to this city. A
few days before the great apostle of robi-
bition came, Farmer Hubbard of iddle-
town, the agricultural apponent of Tib-
bits for the Speakership, interviewed the
latter, and said that it had been sug-
gested that when St. John visited the
Capitol the House should pay him some
attention. .
“In what way i" asked the Speaker.
“Well,” said Hubbard, “the idea is that
when he enters the House some member
shall move a recess, during which you can
introduce him to the members and invite
him to address them. What do you think
of it ?”
. “Well,” answered the Speaker, I think
if any thing of the kind is attempted yOu
will stir up the biggest bear garden in the
House that waslever seen in the Connecti-
cut Legislaturc. I don’t hesitate to say
that I would come down from the chair
and oppose anything of the kind if it was
attempted. I would a good deal rather qi'ee
a reception to, Judas Iscariot or Satan than
to St. John. .0
At this point the ne otiations came to an
abrupt conclusion. he morning after St.
John arrived in Hartford he came into
the hall of the House in com any with
Franklin H. Sage, one of the rohibition
mugwumps. Sage sent up a note to the
Speaker asking if he would invite the ex-
Governor to a seat in the Speaker's desk.
, The Speaker laid the note on the table in
front of him and proceeded with the busi-
ness at his usual Maud S. gait. St. John
and Sage waited on the floor untilthey be-
came weary and then silently crept away.
