_ The Political Outlook.
The autumn political campaignis rapid-
ly taking shape. Especial interest attaches
to the attitude assumed bythe democrats
in the different states, as the democratic
party, though now in power. is practically
on the ,defensive,.says the Star, on account
of its internal dissensions.‘ The singular
spectacle is presented of a President at
odds with the bulk of - his party, and the
party nevertheless forced to sustain him
because of the fear that any other course
on their part would result injumping from
the mugwnmp frying pan into thc'rcpubli-
can fire, .So the democrats have the heat
and burden of the day to bear, while all
that the republicans have to do is to sit
still and bombard _their adversaries with
sarcasms and criticisms. .
Accordingly _the proceedings of the re-
cent democratic conventions in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio,Delaware, Michigan and other
states are noted with interest by the gene-
ral reader and observer of public afllairs.
The President and his policy are cordially
endorsed 'in all the platforms, but this
amounts to nothing in reality, and will de-
ceive nobody. It had- to be done, as a
matter of course. - .The important‘ques-
tion is as to the actual sentiment and feel-
log back- of the resolutions of endorse-
ment. Without going too minutely into
this, it may be said that the different plat-
forms show a diversity of opinion on fun-
damental points that does notyield much
encouragement to those who have hoped
for that party'union which gives strength -
and success. _ The Pennsylvania demo-
crats, for example, adhere to their favorite
Randall doctrine of a reduction of. the in-
ternal revenue taxes,.with due deference.
to the continued protection of Pennsylva-
nia industries; The Ohio democrats, on
the contrary, demand a thorbugh revision
of the tariff, a lowering of all kinds of tax-‘
ation to the limit of the government's
actual needs, areduction of the surplus,
on the Morrison plan, and a bi-metallic-
standard; On these latter points the Penn-
sylvaniaus are silent, but not with that
silence that gives assent.
This is a rather awkward condition for :_
a party to find itself in, in, two "adjoining
and important states. In Miehigan,more-
over, the democratshave gone still further ,
and formed anew an alliance with the
greenbackers,and by so doing have made
another and a yet 'wider breach between
the two wings of the party. It was de-
clared by Mr. Randall, last spring, that
thewings would hereafter “flap together,"
and the announcement was received with
pleasure by the great mass of citizens who
are weary of internal discord, and who
sincerely desire that the party in power,
whichever one it may he, shall act united-
ly and give the country a rational and
straightforward administration. But the
recent democratic conventions‘ do not
point to a fulfillment of Mr. Randall’s
prophecy.

The Sewerage Question.
As we stated last week the prospect is
good for the construction of an efficient
system of sewerage in Norwalk at a time
in the not far distant future. Public sen-
timent is in its favor, as is evident from
the expressions of our taxpayers,who real-
ize that the sanitary welfare of the com.
munity demands it, and who stand ready
to support the project at any time when
the scheme is presented free from any
features that suggest jobbery. It is ac-
cepted in its present aspects as a public
necessity urged by .advocates unswayed
by any considerations of selfishness or
venality, and there is no reason to doubt
that it will receive the endorsement
requisite to its consummation. The pecu-
niary interests of our taxpayers will be
considered no less than the all important
object that demands its immediate con-
struction—the public health.
We are enabled to append abstracts from
the finding of the state board of health on
the subject after a perosnal inspection: of
the sanitary condition and requirements,
made here on July 29th:»;- ' ' '
“It is an unquestioned fact that the re-
tention of.-sewage collected in cesspools
and private vaults about our homes is a
frequent cause of sickness and always ex-
erts an influence threatening to the health
of residents. Its speedy destruction or
removal before the process of putrifaction
begins affords the only means of safety
from its effects. , .
The location and topography of the.
borough of Norwalk, its abundant water
supply, its elevation above the sea level,
and its proximity to tide water to which
it can be carried without. difficulty by
gravitation seem to‘ afford in a marked
degree-all the conditions favorable 'to the
practical use of sewers. - '2 .
The board therefore with unhesitating
unanimity, took action as follows:
Wnnnaas,,By invitation of the officers
of the borough of_Norwalk the members" ~
of the State Board of Health have visited
and personally inspected the borough,
have carefully observed its general topo-
graphical features, the character of its
soil, its elevation, its'proximity to the sea,
and have further studied its conditions by
reference to maps of the town; and
views with the._ citizens, Of the present
methods of the disposal of sewage, viz.,
by storing .it in e‘essp‘t'mls and privy vaults :
in the ground,raiid of the evilcfiects upon'
health which suchstoragehas produced;
an ,
szmtas, It is the unqualified belief of
this board that such ill- effects upon health
are real, and will inevitably increase with .
increasing po ulation and the consequent
increase of po ation in the .soil, and._that
such reservoirs of filth, buried throughout
the town about the homes of the residents
of Norwalk, will so long as they are 'toler-.
ated,be a constant source of danger to the
health and lives of citizens, because of
their knovVn active agencyin producing,
sustaining and spreading epidemics, and
in Iiintensifying the malignancy of disease,
an ' ' ' ' . . .
Wasnsas, The sewerin of the borough
would have the additiona salutary effect
of improving the drainage of the soil and
in many places affordin needed relief to
obstructed drainage 0 natural waters;
therefore,
Resaloed, That we the members of the
State Board of Health of Connecticut do,
for sanitary reasons, unanimously and
earnestly advise and recommend that a
competent engineer be employed to report'
a plan for the effectual sewcring of the
borough of Norwalk; ;full consideration
being given not only to its present needs, 5
but to its future growth and promising
prosperity. - » ‘
Resolved, That the secretary be requested
to convey an expression of thanks to the~
gentlemen of Norwalk, who so kindly es-
corted and aided the board in its investi-
gations, and also the enjoyment afforded
by many other conrtesies shown its mem-
bers on the occasion of their visit."

As the days of the annualj_.falr draws

sliellers, bulls, dudes, drunkards, horse

chickens reminds me of what my sister’s
husband, Who, last year, was some sort of
superhumerary boss in the chicken depart-
ment, related among the incidents of the
exhibition. When the president of the
association, Colonel Watson, with a party
of friends, was inspecting the poultry
coops,4a big roaster peeked at him, where-
upon One of the party gallantly explained:
“Don‘t mind that, Colonel; he’s a know-

The ‘fCitizen” who last week asked you
to suggest to the saloon keepers that they
take in their beer kegs on Saturday nights,
out of consideratiOn for the feelings of the
Sunday morning church goers, made a
sensible suggestion. But why confine
this excellent innovation, to Sundays
alone? Surely church goers are quite as
likely to be on the streets on Monday or.
Tuesday. or any other day,.aa'on'Su‘nday.l
And it'cannot be that “Citizen” would in-
sinuate that on Sunday their sensibilities
are more susceptible to shock from the
sight or stench of a bouquet. of beerkegs
than on Monday. Keep them outof sight
every day, saloon keepers; it’s just as
easy. Everybody will know what you
keep, even if you don’t advertiscon the
sidewalk with a lot of beer kegs for us
passing church goers to muss our skirts
against, for they can all smell the nasty.
things as they go by, even if they are kept-
on the inside.

It strikes me that in the matter of the
recent raids upon objectionable houses by
Norwalk ofiieers, the Gazer-rs bore down
rather too . severely on the prosecutors. .5
Supposing they did exceed their authority
in a few minor details of no importance:
supposing they went ont'of their jurisdic-
tion; supposing as the Gamma said, they
were net actuated by an honest desire to -
“purify the moral atmosphere ';” “supposr
ing they were only after their fees—mind
you, these are supposition, not admis-'
sions. Are they not all extenuatcd if good .
results have been the fruit? if they keep ’
our young men away from such places?
if they result in exterminating the iniquit-
ous (lobe and driving them from our
borders? if they restore the “pure moral .
atmosphere”_ in place of the pernicious in- ‘
flunce that" pervaded their locality? Then .
why pursue the officials who bring about
such desirable results ‘w'ith taunts of
‘ venality and insincerityl’; [Your position ?
is all right, “Rosie," and your sense of '
1 justice and right is laudable. ' But your5
‘ “ifs” save you. If these beneficent re- é
suits had been iii-Ought about; or._.tf‘.any !

Although I live with my sister and her
husband at their plcansant home on -———st 3

my own in the post office, andvery often :
find it convenient, when my sister’s hus- '
band goes to “the. Bridge,’? to ask, him f
to “look into my box, please," ‘a request ‘
with which he generally cemplies
cheerfully. The other day, . while I

r Whether owing to the inactivity of cer-

may; in my unthinking eagerness I al-

quest :

“I will, with the greatest pleasure imagi
inable," he responded, with such unusual

Political Clipping-s. ‘
Straddling the tariff question, dodging
the liquor question, and cheering for civil
service reform make up a pretty good
day’s work fora party like the Pennsylva-
nia Democracy.
It is stated that _one of the most charm-
ing characteristics of Mrs. Grover Cleve-
land is that she never forgets a name A.
great many Democrats can testify that the
President is different in‘ that respect.
Au aged party, named J. Davis, Who-
says he is not .a citizen of the United
States, is taking part in the political carn-
paign in Mississippi. It would seem prop-
er for this alien to apply for naturalization
papers.
The Anarchists who are now comforta-
bly domiciled. in St. Petersburg, Vienna
"and Paris had better remain where they.
are. Openings in this country having be;
come noose-shaped are neither healthy
nor desirable. ‘ ' '
An unsopisticated paper in the interior
of the state of Michigan says it is not easy
to understand what alProhibitionlcandi-
date can do in its legislative district be-
yond helping the Democrats to elect their
man. The Detroit Tribune mildly re-
parently overlooked the fact that “helping
the Democrats" is exactly what the “third
party" scheme is organized for; =
One reason why the Democraticparty is
becoming reconciled, to the principles of
civil service reform was very frankly given
by Col. Berret, in an inverview with a
New York reporter a few days ago.
Briefly stated it is that the ofllces worth
having will be filled with Democrats be-
fore next Presidential election occnrs, so‘
that the operation of the civil service laws .
and regulations will be to perpetuate the
Democratic party in office and power.
That seems to be the whole case in a nut-
shell.
. New that Mr. Mahone is about to retire
from the Petersburg district. If he should
succeed, and if Mr. Geode could be re-
turned .again from the Norfolk district,
things would be . decidedly lively on the
floor of the House a year or two helices
Then if Mr. Cox Would only come back 5
from Turkey, and Uncles Ben Butler and - '
Bill Eaton emerge from their New Eng-
land seclusion, there would bea better
prospect for fun in the Fiftieth Congres
than there is now. " ‘

Putting two and two together it seems
reasonably certain the extraordinary ex-
penses of that remarkable campaign will
foot up $10,000 or $15,000. Mr. Strong’s
estimate, on building proves that,‘-' Nor-
walk citizens 'it is said spent $2,000 and
got whipped. We have the plunder and
can pay our bill with dignity and grace.
The bills would have been bigger but for
cool, watchful Selectman Strong.
The city pays $995k all claims are al-
lowed. D. Davenport got $270, Alderman
Klien wants $225, A. B. Beers $250 and
CurtisThompson $250. Judge Lockwood
Judge DeForest and Judge A. M. Tal-
madge expect, the town to pay them.
Judge Lockwood was drawing $1,000 as
city attorney and some wonder‘why the
town should pay him extra. , Others won-'
der why the lawyers should charge any-
way. It Was their fight,.they were the'
most interested,they kicked up and urged
the muss, and it seems strange they were
not willing to do what they could as patri-
otic citizens'without shoving in big bills.
Suppose ‘all citizens who helped should
put in a bill of $250. They wenldn’t be;
