OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, May 10, 1886.
DEAR Gizsm :—The inter-state-~com-
merce bill consumed most of the senate’s
time last week, and the river and harbor
bill was‘the chief -~ subject absorbing the
attention of the ”house. ' By the usual
dickering combinations between southern
and western members the bill was loaded
up to fifteen millions. The scandalous-
ness of this enormous aggregate was so
conspicuous that it ”barely squeezed
through on the vote for its final passage.
Representatives Wait and Buck voted
' against it; Mr. Seymour was at home in
Connecticut trying a cause in our courts,
and mr. Mitchell was absent sick. It is
predicted it cannot possibly pass the sen-
ate, and that if it should the president
would promptly veto it. The consistency
Of alleged statesiman'ship is seen in voting
fifteen millions in such a hill, and fighting
against the appropriation of $800,000 for
' carrying American letters in American
ships to the end of extending American
trade and commerce, and encouraging
American shipping interests. A hard fight
is expected in conference committee over
this post office appropriation, but the sen-
ate has resolved not to yield. Last year,
the democrats charge, they were coerced
by the senate to allow the $400,000 appro-
priation for carrying these foreign mails to
remain in the bill by the dread of an extra
scssiOn and the intense heat here at mid-
summer. But Postmaster-General Vilas,
in stubborn violation of the law, refused
to use a large part of the appropriation,
and what he did was given to ships of
foreign bottoms, and they rely on his doing
so again if they cannot defeat the measure
in any other way.
In the inter-state commerce bill Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, got an amendment
relating to recent conspiracies to destroy
railroad property and prevent the running
of trains. It provides that two or more
persons, with intent to prevent the move-
ments of any locomotive, car or train, or
to put in peril the personal security of any
officer or employe of any railroad com-
pany, shall be guilty of conspiracy, and
on conviction shall- be punished by im-
prisonment for not more than six months,
or by a fine of not more than $500. or both.
TBEASON NOT ODIOUS.
On Friday last eight clerks were dis-
charged from one of the departments. The
friends of the» discharged clerks were
highly indignant on finding written in
pencil on a wall in one of the retiring
rooms the following: "Another batch of
damn nigger-loving, south-hating Yanks
‘kicked’ put, thank God, and more to go.”
The incident is published by a local pa-
per as going to show the balefnl effects of
the Jeff. Davis resurrection at the South.
It is a reassuring fact that leading demo-
crats here are sick and disgusted at Davis’
performances, slid it is said the democratic
Congressional Committee here telegraphed
Gen. Gordon and other leaders in Georgia,
to “For God’s sake to switch Davis off the
track and suppress}loim”——as he is proving
a bull in their party’s china shop. Henry
Watterson, who is here, awaiting his trip
to Europe for his health, was heard to say
the other day that between the folly of the
administation and the resurrection of Jeff.
Davis, the democratic party had gone to
the wall. That he expected defeat in this
Fall’s Congressional elections and in the
next Presidential campaign.
THE MORMON common.
The House j udiciary committecjis still
discussing the Mormon question. The
impression is that the Edmund’s bill will
not pass the House. Judge Basken, of
Utah, spoke in favor of the bill before the
committee, and was supported by the
presence of Miss Kate Field and a number
of other ladies.
REAPI'OINTED.
Mr. D. W. Bartlett has been reappointed
American secretary of the Chinese lega-
tion. Both from his knowledge of public
affairs and his experience in this position,
his services as secretary are almost invalu-
able. Be is a native of Connecticut, was
for a long time Washington correspondent
of the Springfield Republican and Hartford
Courant and at one time, thought quite se-
riously of purchasing the siglitly place of
Rev.'Dr. Childs’ on Prospect Hill and be-
coming a summer resident of Norwalk.
saw, no!
The Fish Commissioners of Connecticut
were in Washington last week, on route
for Richmond to inspect the McDonald
fishway in the James River. President
Shelton, of the Housatonic Water Compa-
ny, and Engineer Brinsmadc accompany
the Commissioners.
MORE REFORM.
The local papers report a notable “din-
ner” given by Secretary Whitney at his
residence here to a party of convivial
friends, on Sunday last.
In several of the departments at this
time the civil service law is contemptuous-
ly evaded every day. The most outrage-
ous cases occur in'the Department of the
Interior by the Commissioner of Pensions.
Mr. Anthony Comstock, last week, ad-
dressed the Senate Committee on Post-
oflices and Post Roads in favor of the bill
to amend the statutes in relation to the
transmission through the mails of lottery
and gift enterprise circulars, and is assur-
that his arguments will be enacted into
law.
Representative Buck has introduced a
bill to make Hartford a port of entry in
place of Middletown. It is thought the
measure, so clearly just, will pass, in
which event, the Middletown collector
will have to move up to Hartfordora new
“reform” collector hunted up in or about
Hartford.
PERSONALS.
Benjamin Hall of Norwich, one of the
. leading manufacturers of Eastern Connec-
ticut, was here last week with his bride,
and passed several days in the city enjoy-
ing his hymenial tour.
Westport’s most peculiar citizen was
here again last week and is reported to be
working his postofllce scheme for all it is
worth. I , - ’
Representative Seymour, who has been
absent in Connecticut a few days, has re-
turned.
Mayor Bulckley and wife and child, of
Hartford, was here last week.
Brig.-Gen. G. R. Paul, U. S. A., retired,
died here at his home, last Wednesday.
He was the father of the Gen. Paul. who,
with his family boarded several summers
in Norwalk with Mrs. William B. Swann.
001. E. V. Preston or the Travelers In-
surance company, Hartford, was here last
week en route for Florida, with his wife.
Gen. Hawley was the only one of the
Connecticut delegation who attended the
reunion of State officers at Hartford last
week. It is an interesting coincidence
that both Senators and all four of our
Representatives have been members of our
State government.
Henry H. Thomas of Norwalk, a son of
Henry Thomas and grandson of the late
Charles Thomas Of East avenue, is estab-
lished here in business as agent for the
Hartwell Leaded Glass and Decorative
. Painting company, of New York.
Sec. Manning is able tO ride:out, but as
he has countermanded an order for fur-
nishing his house here, it isinterpretedas
an evidence that he will, (as (he clearly
ought), retire from the cabinet. .
John E. Earle and Jed. Wilcox, Of New'
Haven, Fred. P. Miles, of Lakeville, John
_ L. Houston, President of .the Hartford
Carpet company, and James C. Law and
wife of 'Enfield, were here last week.

The following letter written by a N or-
walk boy, was received at the. White
‘land 1’”
House, and responded to in the manner
following :—
Noawamr, Com, May 4th, 1886.
Ma. PRESIDENTt—I am a little boy ten
years old,‘and belong to a children's lit-
erary club. At each meeting we give out
questio‘ns‘to be answered at the next.
The question that " I drew at the last
meeting was, “How old is PresidentCleve
I have tried to find out from a
number of people, but no one seems to
know. . . _
Ihope on will not think me impel-ti-
nent if I on . to answer my question,
so that I mfyyreport to the club.
Yours very respectfully,
Sharron Bissau"
To which, the President replied :—
I was born on the 18th day of March,
1837. I hope with this information the
question may be answered.

. The Stamford Herald announces that
hereafter no tramp printers will be allowed
in the oflice on account of their thieving
propensities. Baker must have purchased
a new towel within a short time.
The Winsted Press promulgates this
questionable proposition in moral philoso-
phy:—
Honest is not always the best policy,
,but it is t a best principle, and if a man
intends to steal he should wait till he can
steal enou h to insure him a comfortable
place in ganada while he lives'and in
heaven after he dies.
Mr. Charles Raymond retires from the
sprightly Stamford News, having sold his
interest in the paper to his partner, Mr.
George Sawter. In bidding his readers
goOd-bye Mr. Raymond overflows with
emotion in the following heart-rending
grammarz— _ 1
“As our pen in writing (this glides over
the smooth glossy surface of a ‘Commer-
cial Note,’ tears of emotion, big as goose
egg yolks, overflow our ale blue, ging-
ham colored optics, and trickle by buckets-
ful from the tip of our olfacto proboscis.
Sobs, huge as the grunts o a colicky
rhinosccrous, cork u our larynx and
esophagus, and a but smothered ‘boo
hoo’ struggles to escape as We bid the
News readers good bye."
The National Guard Room is, the title
of a new paper, published in Hartford, by
W. H. Goldsmith, an experienced and
able journalist. It is devoted to the mili-
tary interests of the state, and the first
number should gain for it at once popular
favor and lucrative support. It is a hand-
some and well edited sheet and full of
military intelligence from all over the
state, and general news from abroad.
The Windsor Locks Journal was six
years old last week. Brother Addie
started the paper warmly encouraged by
the friendly :prediction that it wouldn’t
live three :months. But after six years
of it, he gives thanks for the liberal pat-
ronage, and “hopes for six years more of
it.” So do his friends.
Handsome Editor Rogers, of the Lee
(Mass.) Gleaner, is “going to get married,
mamma, mamma.”
Editor Riggs, of the Bristol Press, re-
cently reduced the size of his paper one-
half and published it semi-weekly, but
soon discovered that»two halves do not
make one whole, and now come out as
a weekly again in énlarged form.

Tho Same Old Cry.
While the southern press is slapping
over with fulsome laudation of Jefferson
Davis, it still finds room for an (ceasional
reference to “pension raids." For example
the Charleston News and Courier thinks the
ex-soldiers of the Union have had all they
are entitled to if not a great deal more.
The national treasury has been raided upon
very extravagantly in their interest and it
is time this species of ‘ ‘rohbery” is stopped.
The writer says : '
“The soldiers and sailors dodge has had
its day and must go along with all the
other rubbish that has accumulated during
the last twenty years of Republican rule'"
And the Norfolk Landmark has the fol-
lowing:
“Senators Edmunds and Hoar deny that
they said the soldier business had been
overdone. We are sorry that they repudi-
ate such a sensible remark. This govern-
ment was made for something else besides
awarding pensions."
It appears to have been made to be run
by and in the interest of the party which,
having failed in a tremendous effort lode.
stroy it, has finally gotten possession of its
machinery by disfranchising the majority
in various states.

It’s Sleepy. and It Can’t See.
We looked all through this week's issue
of the Gamma to find the “Sequel to the
Missing Man,” but could not find a word.
Perhaps ‘ The GAZETTE Reporter” did not
accompany the detective in all his rounds.
That GAZEITE reporter seems to he very
much afliicted with “previousness.”—
Sentinel.
We are grateful to our neighbor for the
recognition of the GAZETTE reporter’s well’
known enterprise and energy. And while
that gentleman was never so “previous’
as to have the report of an event in type
before the event occurred,—as is alleged to
have been the case with the Sentinel at
the time of the “dynamite" explosion at
Ci-ofut do Knapp‘s last year,—yet he means
to keep abreast of the times and furnish
the many patrons of the Gamma with
original and truthful reading.
And the fact that the Sentinel “could
not find a word" when nearly one-eighth
of a column was devoted to the subject,
only convinces us of what we have long
suspected, namely, that the Sentinel is.
sleepy, very, very sleepy.
Crossinlr Gates.
Coroner Holt of Bridgeport, after the in-
quest on the remains of August Machalow-
ski and daughter, killed in that city by
cars on the Consolidated road, sentaletter
to President;Watrous suggesting that the
company erect gates and station afiagman
on the crossing, where the fatal. accident
occurred, as the electricjboll now in use
is unreliable and generally unhecded.
President'Watrous courteously replied, in
part, as:follows: ' '
“I do not see that it is any fault of ours
that this painful event has happened. It
'seems almost inevitable that some people
Wlll get killed when it is possible for such
consequences to follow inattention toperil.
If you and your city authorities think, un-‘
der all the circumtances, our company
ought to be put to the extra expense of
maintaining and operating a gate at the
Warren street crossing in addition to orin
lieu of the electric signal wo‘-will have one
put there as soon. after notice of your de-
cision to that effect as practicable.” .

ing. A few days ago they had a dispute
over a land boundary. Barber never lost
his temper but quietly picked Lillibridge
up. and threw him over a fence. Lilli-
bridge righted himself, stormed in impo-
tent rage, and finally said to Barber in a
tone of bitter sarcasm: “I would like to
hear you pray now." With bland, un-
rufl'led. countenance Barber replied quiet~
ly: “Very well, brother, I'm not angry
with you ;" then kneeling on the swampy
ground and lifting his eyes heavenward,
he prayed fervently “that the Lord would
make Brother Lillibridge a better man,
and teach him to do to others as he would
wish to be done by—Amen l"

On Thursday the new locomotive “Dau-
bury" made her first trip on the Danbury
and Norwslk road. She brought atraiu of
160 tons of coal from, Danbury to South
Norwalk. The trial trip was satisfactory.
—GAzrm. The GAZETTE is slightly mixed
on this item. Give the locomotive a
chance and she could probably draw 160,-
000 tons down to South Norwalk.—Dan-

President Cleveland is much married
and given in marriage by the newspapers,
which. by the way, disagree with bar-
monious variations, in their prophesies.
According, to the very. latest advices,
which, however, have since beendenicd,"
it is reported that a rumor isin circulation
to the effect that gossips say that President
Cleveland, who is soon to commit matri-
mony, will not get married—at least while
he remains single—and that he will not
marry the lady who is to become his wife
anyway. The truth of this false report is
admitted even by the president’s hitterestv
