Thrilling War Story.
We shall commence on Tuesday, the
30th inst. the publication of a serial War
Story of thrilling interest, entitled “Tm:
Ran ACORN." It will run several weeks
and we trust none of our readers will fail
to commence it with the first issue. It is
pronounced one of the best stories ever
published in current newspaper literature.
It is written by John McElroy, author of
“Andersonville,” who is unquestionably
the greatest novelist of the civil war pe.
riod. He was himself a soldier, and his
pen pictures are the product of experience
rather than imagination. In this story he
faithfully reproduces the rough and ready
humor of the war time. The characters
are typical Americans and the scenes are
located in the most interesting and tragic-
al years of our history. Don't fail to have
‘ the boys and girls of the family read it.
Remember “The Red Acorn" Tuesday,
Nov. 30111. Now is the time to subscribe.

Not Proud of It.
The various Labor Associations of our
town indignantly deny that they were
in any way instrumental in getting up .or
out, that scurrilous circular just prior to
election, on John H. Ferris, Esq., the
city Republican candidate for representa-
tive. This throws its paternity back on
the city Democratic committee, consist-
ting of Sheriff Swartz, Jerry Donavan
and J. W. Smith. A South Norwalk de-
mocrat assures us that a meeting of the
democratic committee and other local
workers, on the Sunday prior to the elec-
tion, Mr. Smith publieally denounced the
anonymous “circular” mode of political
Warfare and that Representative Ed.
Smith did the same. Our informant also
states that it is generally supposed at
South Norwalk, that the copy of the cir-
cular was written out by a very much
excited and bitter democratic newspaper
writer, and that it was taken to Bridge-
port by Donovan, and printed there and
brought back and distributed from his
(Donovan’s) store. However this may be,
it was a very dirty and unsuccessful piece
of partisan work, and it is not surprising
that any decent man or association of men,
should desire to get relieved even from
the suspicion of having had anything to
do with it. As might have been expected.
Mr. Ferris instead of being injured, as
was designed, got many votes in conse-
quence of its appearance.

Fritz is “00‘” Again.
In this week’s GAZETTE Rosie Rowe in
her “Ramblings” makes use of the ex-
pression, “Queer dings dese bolidics.” In
another column of that issue occurs the
same expression. Is it a coincidence, a
plagiarism, or were both written by one
and the same person ?—-Republican.
In both instances it was enclosed in
quotation marks. If you had read Ike
Bromley's recent letter in the Tribune you
would have known where the phrase orig-
inated. It was not a coincidence; it was
a “co-tation." It was not plagiarism; it
was plaguey cute. That little phrase was
originally written “by one and the same
person.” But what in the world do you
think you are driving at, any old how ? .

The Cloud of Oflice Seekers.
Up to the present time Sheriff-elect
Crosby has received over fifty applications
for the positions of deputy-sheriff. As
there are only about half that number to
be appointed, somebody is going to get
left. Mr. Crosby is non-committal on the
subject, and will probably take his own
time and course in making the appoint-
ments—Berkshire Coufier.
Our own Sheriff-elect Clarkson has even
alarger list of candidates to select from
if the applicants from other towns in the
county loom up as numcrously as they do
in Norwalk—and appearances indicate
that “the woods is full of them."

A National Labor Party.
The N. Y. Executive Committee of the
Labor Party has issued a ringing address
inviting all its adherents to the organiza-
tion of a National movement, which, as it
says: “Shall carry to triumphant success
the great principles on which industrial
and political emancipation must be based.”
“We wish to see formed all over the
country open associations or clubs, which,
by means of reunions, lectures, debates,
the dissemination of literature, and the
comparison of opinions, shall prepare the
way for such a political union as will re-
snlt in the formation of a national party,
powerful enough to rewrite the laws and
carry into execution the popular will.”

Col. Bob Ingersoll expressed the follow-
ing hopeful views Sunday evening in N.
Y., in an address to workingmen:—
“I have no fear,” he continued “of the
workingman. He is not dangerous. He
is with us all the time and his enemies are
no greater than those of the rich. But
this Is not the country for the Socialist, the
Revolutionist or the Communist. It is the
best government ever made by the human
race, and with free speech, a free ballot
and a free press the conditions of the world
and society must be changed for the better.

Random Ramblings.
BY ROSIE ROWE, 0UR,P.AMBI.ING RAMBLER.
They tell of aprominent citizen who,
because he preferred not to go forward to
the anxious seat in the revival the other
night, was gently but firmly invited to go
outside, which he indignantly did, and in
the vestibule he gave vent to his boiling
rage in the following horrible and blood-
eurdling language concerning the oflicious
individual who ordered him out:
“He is not a gentleman; he is aGoosnl"
Some say his verdict was wrong, but
certain it is that the incident, and the
victim’s remark have called forth a
vast amount of quacking among the
goslings.

My sister’s husband-brought home a
copy of that Library Bulletin Saturday,
and I was astonished to find in-it this
paragraph:
“Resie Rowe comments harshly on the
once proposed kermcs.”
The Bulletin editor is mistaken. My
only comment on the proposed kermesse
was an expression of regret that it never
was carried to a consummation. The.
word “harshly” is a harsh term for char-
acterizing the comments in the issue of
September 28th, which simply asked what
had become of the project, and expressed
confidence in its success if undertaken,
and the appreciation of the public, whose
liberal support it bespoke. Oh, no, Mr.
Bulletin, the comment Was not nearly
as harsh to s‘ensitive ears as some .of the
ways in which kermesse is spelled.

I attended the opera two nights last
week. I suppose that for the low prices
charged nobody has a right to find fault
with the performances. The singing——
some of it-—was very fair, and a little was
quite good. Bessie Gray, the leading
lady, surprised me by her power and
sweetness of voice in the upper register.
Phenomenal as is her skill in kicking in
_ the upper register, which she demon-
strated by sending her little white slipper
whizzing up into the gallery, she sings
equally as high. It is a high singer that
can sing as high as she can kick. It is to
be hoped that these cheap :operatic per-
formances may’serve as a means of edu-
cating our people up to an appreciation-that
will warrant our Opera House managers
in securing dates with singers and com-
panies of national reputatiorgwithout risk
of great personal loss—and surely there is
room for improvement of our taste in that
direction, for our taste for the classic in
opera, as well as in drama, is at a low ebb.
When kicking in high G elicits rafter-shak-
ing salvos of admiration from an audience
assembled to enjoy opera, thereIcan be no
question about the room for a cultivation
of operatic taste. ‘

The Methodist revival is reaping a
glorious harvest. The meetings‘are crowd-
ed and full of profit. The Rev. Dr. Clark
has every reason to feel gratified, that his
assiduous labors and earnest zeal in the
good work are crowned with such fruitful
results. The Whyte brothers, those sweet
singers, have been largely instrumental in
bringing about these results. May the
fruits and influences of these meetings
long abide!

The Club, which is to become one of
the institutions o‘f‘our social life in Nor-
walk is a move in the right direction so
far as it brings into definite shape some
plan of action for the enjoyment of social
intercourse in a systematic and profitable
way. As a rule, "intellectual and moral
improvement" doesn’t enter into consider-
ation in these schemes organized with the
avowed object of social enjoyment and
mutual improvement, and thus their pros-
perity is the best evidence of their failure,
paradoxical-as the assertion may appear.
But from the character of this club’s in-
ceptors, it is safe to predict that it will be
a benefit to its members and to society.
But why do they leave us women out in
the cold? Would they have us to under-
stand by this exclusiveness that they con.
sider woman a hindrance to intellectual
and moral improvement ? In the lan-
guage of the street, “Chestnuts!” Woman’s
influence will bring about a higher per-
fection of intellectual and moral develop-
ment than all the by-laws and club house
rules they can formulate, despite the fact
that she is debarred certain privileges by
the slavery of sex and the fetters of
petticoats. ' .

I heard it suggested the other day that

desirable unmarried young men who Ira-

Considering the fact that our authori-
ties rigidly enforce the lnw against Sun-
day liquor selling, there was a remarkable
amount of drunkenness about town last
Sabbath, as church goers had ample op-
portunity to observe. The outside bar.
barian liquor dealers who fill up the Sun-
day bumniers and send them to Nor-walk
to walk and hOwl off their “jags,” should
be looked after by the authorities of their
towns. Perhaps, however, another peri-
odical spasm of reform measures on
the part of our ofiicials might tend to
abate the nuisance. Possibly some of our
own dealers neglect to watch the clock
and are oblivious of the hour when Satur-
day merges into Sunday. Some of these
local Saturday night blooming places are
said to rival the dives of New York for
Bacchanalian orgies and disgraceful go-
ings.on. But who is to be blamed?

Hatting Notes.
The. Hat Finishers’ association, of
Brooklyn, at its last regular meeting
donated $150 to the] girls on strike at
Pcrkins' carpet yarn factory in Kent
avenue, Brooklyn, It seems to be quite a
liberal association. The following are
some of the donations made by it during
the last few months": Third avenue
strikers, New York, $100; Fur Pickers’
association, Brooklyn, $100; Charleston
sufferers, $100; Perkins' factory, Brook-
lyn, $150. In addition to this each mem-
ber of the association contributed twenty-
flve cents weekly" to the south-western
strikers. They also sent a clear receipt
to the batters of South Norwalk for $455,
loaned them at the time of the strike.
There will be a special national meeting
of the Hat Makers’ and Hat Finishers’
associations held in Boston, Mas:.,».ncxt
month.
Mr. E. D. Cornell, formerly president of
The Finishers’ National association, has
been elected a delegate to the convention
by the Philadelphia association. His ad-
vice and experience will be valuable.
Rumor has it that some of the officers of
the National association are going _to re-
sign. It will be an important convention.

Our Contemporaries.
Mr. F. E. Beach of the Ansonia Sentinel,
formerly of the editorial staff of the
GAZETTE, has severed his connection with
the Sentinel to assume the editorship of
the Willimantie Journal, one of the fore-
most papers of Windham county. The
worst luck we wish Beach is that the
change may be as profitable for him as it
is sure to be for the Journal.
The Winstcd Herald is publishing the
Neptune Club‘s Log as a continued story
—-and an interesting one it is, too, by
“Ward Dcrson," ably assisted by the
chaplain.
The familiar face of our old-time friend,
the New Hartford Tribune, the handsome
Captain Jones‘ sparkling paper, is wel-
comed to our exchange table. It’s just
as good as it used to be, and Well de-
serves the prosperity it evidently enjoys.
The Library Bulletin is a neat little pa-
per to be published during the three days
kermesse, the first, number being already
out. John S. Seymour, Esq., is its editor,
who acknowledges that “Miss Mattie V.
Perry assisted in the preparation of this
paper," and this joining of the talents of
lawyer and school teacher could not be
otherwise than productive of just such a
gratifying feast of legal logic and tutorial
preciscness as the Bulletin presents. It is
full of good things and will prove by no
means the least enjoyable of all the pleas-
ant features of the kermesse. It speaks
half a dozen of the dead, dying and sleep-
iug languages ; talks politics, gossips about
society, and quotes ancient history, and
the absence of beautiful snow poetry and
sun-baked and worm-eaten “chestnuts”
makes it all the more enjoyable. Dr. J.
G. Gregory contributes an entertaining
and well written article on the attempts
made by our old-time citizens to establish
a library, which be compiled with the
assistance of the GAzs'rTn files dating back
to 1853. Rev. Edward Anderson con-
tributes a characteristic letter explaining
the objects of the kermesse and command-
ing it to the generous support of ‘our citi-
zens.
Our amateuficoutcmporary, the Star,
announces that its senior-editor has been
sick, and propounds this gem of indie-
putable philosophy: “When the entire
working force consists of two, and the
senior getssiek, itmakes it pretty hard for
the junior."

WISE PUBLISHES A CARD,
Pays Bis Respect:
Lamb.
RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 16.——Hon. Geo. D.
Wise publishes the following:
The urgency of friends whose judgment I
respect, and my own taste have been averse
to any notice of the statement in regard to
myself attributed to William Lamb, of Nor-
folk, in Various newspapers recently pub-
lished. But reiterated rumors of a contem-
plated duel between him an myself, accom-
panied by the assertion of fresh insult offered
by him to me, have been so widely circulated
as to render it necessary for me,
who, as a public servant, boars
distinct relations and responsibilities
to society to publish this card. It is not true,
as stated in many newspapers, that I have
ever had a quarrel with “Tilliam Lamb. It
is true, as I have discovered, not by applica-
tion to himself, with whom I can have no
communication, but to friends in Norfolk,
whither Ivvent for the purpose, that in a
public speech. delivered there during the re-
cent canvass he stated that he had been told
that I was guilty of immoralities, which
will not undertake to repent. This eminated
from him, let it be added, without previous
provocation from me, outside of my con-
gresional district, where my claims for
congressional honors Were in no sense an
appropriate subject for discussion. A dis-
criminating public will hold me blameless
when, under circumstances like these and
impelled by a supreme and righteous indigna-
tion, I depart from the even tenor of my
Way to declare the charge referred to utterly
false and baseless, in whole and in part, the
author of it an infamous liar, and the pur-
veyor of the scandal to the public car a. filthy
scouudrel, fit only for the scorn and contempt:
of all honorable gentlemen.
I have stated that I have never had a quar-
rel with William Lamb, and I can have none
with him now or hereafter, because he is a
blackguardin more senses than as the pro-
mulgator of baseless scandal, and a. coward
In more views than in causing, as the report
of his townsmen has it, his own arrest to
escape a duel which he pretended to accept.
Respectfully, Gnoacn D. WISE.
WATCHING CONGRESSMEN.
In Which He in
A Sensation at Washington Caused by a
Police Scandal.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 16,—The hearing be-
fore District Commissioner thatley of the
charges preferred against Lieut. Arnold, of
the police force, for circulating a “false and
malicious” report about Maj. Walker,
chief of police, is concluded. Lieut. Arnold
was on the stand in his own defense, and
swore positively that Maj. Walker, at a
meeting of lieutenants of police said he
“thought it would be a good idea. for
the men doing duty south of the
avenue (a locality where many
disreputable houses are located) to note the
habits of members of congress. ”
A similar statement, made by the lieuten-
ant to one of his sergeants a month or so ago,
gave rise to the story that the information
obtained was to be used in influencing legis-
lation to increase the police force, and led to
the Iieutenant’s trial.
The Critic says the trial is assuming na-
tional importance, and that congressmen
now in the city naturally take great inter-mt
in it.
THE MILITIA SERVICE.
Report of Regular Army Officers Upon
Its Status.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. ——The reports of of-
ficers of the regular army Who were detailed
duringthe summer to make inspections of
the militia. of the various states in encamp-
ment are made public. The reports give a
very comprehensive idea of the strength and
system of training of the organizations in-
spected, and speak in the highest terms of
the character of the troops and of the desira-
bility of effecting an intimate and cordial re-
lation between the militia and the regular
army. Numerous recommendations are made
for insuring a more successful training in
certain respects which will have a tendency
to improve the militia service.
Ono Chicken for Seven Boarder-s.
NEWARK, N. J., Nov. Iii—Mrs. John H.
Witten keeps a boarding house, and she has
_ seven boarders. Sunday night the landlady
served her boarders with chicken. There was
but one lonely chicken for the seven hungry
men. Thomas Campbell, one of the boarders,
seized the fowl and had eaten almost the
whole of it before his fellow boarders were
aware of what was going on. When they
finally comprehended they arose as one man
and “went for” the glutton. They knocked
him down, kicked him about, and cut him
with knives and forks. During the fight
John 1Volch was also badly injured. lVelch
and Campbell were arrested.
The Substitute System.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—Secreta.ry Man.
ning intendsfobreak up the abuses of the
substitute system in his department, under
which, heretofore, cmployes who were sick
were permittedtoput on substitutes to fill
their places. The system is Said to have been
greatly abused by employee in good health
supplying substitutes, who receive only a
portion of the salary of the position, usually
one-half of it, the other half going to the
regular employs. An order for clerks who
arcrepresented by substitutes to return to
their desks went into effect to-day. There
were about seventy-five substitutes at work
in the department.
Michael Davltt's Tour.
PITTSBURG, Nov. 16.-Michael Davitt,
founder of the land league, addressed an en-
thusiastic assemblage of 2,000 people in La-
fayette hall last night. The topic of his dis-
course, “The Attainment of Home Rule for
Irelan ," was introduced by profuse thanks
and acknowledgements for the generosity
and sympathy of Americans during the
struggle of the past six or seven years, with-
out which, he said, the attaining of the pres-
ent satisfactory results would have been im-
possible. Mr. Davitt was presented with an
address of welcome by the trades assembly of
western Pennsylvania and a gold heeded
umbrella by the Patrick Egan branch of the
land league.

forgery case, were bound over to the court of

A Southern Bank Closed.
LITTLE ROCK, Nov. Iii—The First National
bank of Pine Bluff, Ark, has closéd its doors.
C. M. Neel, the principal owner, has operated
heavily in cotton and real estate. He says
the suspension is due to drafts on merchants
not being honored. He is reputed to be
wealthy, but the amount of his liabilities is
as yet unknown. ‘
M R. COX’S VIEWS.
What the Late Minister to Turkey Thinks
‘ of Politics.
an Yonx, Nov. 16—8. 8. Cox talked to
the Young Men's Democratb club last night
on the political situation and the future of
the Democratic party. He thought there
was nothing gloomy in the outlook. The
Democratic majority in the house was better
for business than a majority of forty or fifty,
when so many would be absent. He re-
gretted that Mr. Morrison had been defeated,
because it showed that a mean, mercenary.
spirit had gone into politics. The evils of the
tariff were due to it, for there was no war-
rant in the constitution for taking money
from one trade and giving it to another.
Thereis no room under the constitution
for such vagaries as those of Henry George.
The followers of George forget that we have
an established government here. It was a
very strange experience for an American to
come across the continent of Europe, seeing
on his way the people ground under the iron
heel of despotism, and then to arrive in New
York and be told that America, of all others,
istheland where the laboring man is op-
pressed. The constitutional convention is
something to be devoutly thankful for. It
will prove to be the safety valve where
theorists can blow of! surplus steam. The
hayseeds can be trusted to see that none of
the vagaries are engrnfted on fire organic
law.
These Democrats who expect the George
movement to hurt the Democratic party in
1888 are needlessly gloomy. The seeds of
dissension exist in the new movement, and
will rend it asunder. But it behooves the
Democracic party to redress real grievances
wherever found. Nine bills passed the Dem-
ocratic house last winterinthe interest of
labor, but only two of them got through the
senate. If we are wounded, however, we
must cure the wound; we must emancipate
labor by the reform of the tariff.
Mr. Cox was enthusiastically cheered.
A VERDICT AT LAST.
An Incident of Grant’s Richmond Cam-
, palg .1 Recalled.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16.——A verdict for the
defendants was rendered in the United States
district court in the casepf the Government
vs. Clement L. Hughes and Lester D. Fuller.
The defendants were the owners of the steam-
ship Rappahannock, and the government
brought action to recover for damages sus-
tained by a collision between that vessel and
the United States steamship Ashland, in the
James river, at City Point, in 1864. Both
vessels were employed to assist Gen. Grant in
his movement on Richmond. The Ashland‘s
cargo was lost, and the liability was sought
to be fixed on the defendants. All the wit-
nesses to the occurrence excepting one are
dead, and that party’s affidavit was not defi-
nite. Gen. Grant, it was stated, was the only
who would have been able to explain
the true cause of the collision.
A Railroad Changes Ownership.
DAYTON, Nov. lit—The Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton and Dayton Railroad company took
formal possession of the Dayton and Ironton
narrow guage read, 150 miles long, and
moved the offices of the manager, auditor,
master mechanic, general freight agent, and
train dispatcher into the Dayton and Michi-
gan freight; depot. Contracts were made
with every saw mill along the line of the road
for ties and timbers with a view to widen the
guage within the next six weeks. The pres-
ent shipping capacity of the roadie to be
devoted to the relief of Cincinnati from
the threatened coal famine.
To War Against the Knights.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16,—The long standing
quarrel between the trades unions and the
Knights of Labor has assumed the phase of
an open warfare. A call has been issued to
all the trade organizations of the United
States to send delegates to a. convention to
be held in Columbus, 0., Dec. 8. The call is
signed by P. J. McGuire, secretary of the
carpenters; W. Weihe, of the iron and steel
workers; P. F. Fitzpatrick, of the iron
moulders; A. Strasser, of the cigar makers
and Chris Evans of the coal miners. The
Knights of Labor do not appear to be
alarmed at the new movement.
Seton Kurt's Return.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16—8. W. Seton
Kerr, who was with Schwatka on Mount St.
Elias, has arrived here. He corroborates
Schwatka’s account of the dsscovery of Jones
river, and says he ascended Mount St. Elias
to a higher point than Schwatka. He
brought news of the assassination at Kodiak
of B. G. McIntyre, agent of the Alaska Com-
mercial company. He was eating supper
with Mr. Kart and others when aRussian
named Peter Anderson fired a. double-bar-
reled gun, loaded with slugs, through the
window, instantly killing McIntyre.

A LIBERAL VICTORY. I
The Question of Manhood vs. Property
‘ Suffrage.
CIIAnLor'rnTOWN, P. E. 1., Nov. Iii—The
elections for seven legislative councilors in
this province, which took place last Thurs—
day, has resulted in a victory for the Lib-
erals, that party electing six, and poi-Imps
the whole seven councilors. Kings count y is
still in doubt. Burns, the leader of the gov-
ernment in the upper house, a Conservative,
was defeated by an overwhelming majority.
Hon. Mr. Campbell, commissioner of public
works, Conservative, is also defeated.
The legislature of the island is composed of
two elective houses. The lower house is called
the legislative assembly, the franchise for
which
is manhood suffrage, the upper house, the
legislative council, the franchise for which is
restricted to property holders. The issue in
the recent elections vats the abolition of the
council. The Conservatives desired to have
it abolished on the score of economy, while
the Liberals demanded its retention. In the
campaign the Liberals appealed to the prop-
erty holders to rally to the support of the
council and protect themselves against the
“floating population,”as it was put—or, in
other words, against the legislation of the
popular body, elected by manhood suffrage.
As the result of the election shows, this was
done, and hence the Liberal victory.

the most expensive publication of Its class in the
United States nevertheless Its price ll now fixed
at $1 a year, the Semi-Weekly at $2; In both cases
an extra copy with a club of 10.
The campaign just closed found the country In
the trough of the political waves. The Republican
managers have made the best a re they could
against a state of general apathy. n a few States
they have been aided by the inspiring presence of
a great leader, whose speeches have awakened
almost the only enthusiasm an here shown. The
result of the campaign In grat Ing; Its gains are
an inspiration : the Democratic losses are a pIaIn
guide to the popular drift. From this time for-
ward the country will feel the lift of the advancing
wave of 1888, which. If we will all do our duty,
will sweep out. from Washington the masqueraders
now In possession, the fees of retention, equality
and patrIotlo government. It now the duty of
all earnest and experienced workers to bend their
energies toward united and hearty work for 1888.
The canny Is to be consolidated, cheered and
