NORWALK GAZETTE. A. ll. murmur. l. RODERICK. It, Associate. Wednesday, Feb. 9, 1887. EDITORIAL LETTER. ano'ron, February 7, 1887. Due Gszam:—The President has signed the Inter-State Commerce bill, without, it is said, consultation with any one of his cabinet, save Attorney-General Garland. , His only doubt in regard to the bill being (as is claimed by his friends) whether it was constitutional. As an entirety the bill is complicated and claim- ed by expert lawyers to be contradictory in several of its provisions. The Presi- dent has a large bump of combativeuess, and the surest way to get him to go the contrary way istoover urge him. It is said the presidents of four or five promin- ent railroads have had their views adverse to the bill pressed upon him. Mr. Fargo, president of the American Express com- pany; Mr. Vanderbilt of the Harlem and Hudson River, New York Central and Lake Shore roads; Mr. Bishop, of the Connecticut systems; J. G. Potter, presi- dent of the Chicago and Quincy railroad; President Norton, of the Louisville and Nashville road; Garret, of the Baltimore and Ohio; and Pennsylvania magnates, all happening to have been congregated here the past week, and all opposed to this bill, is said to have settled the matter in the President's mind, and led to the conclusion that if all the railroad mag- nates of the country were Opposed to it, it would be safe for him to be for it, and so it is reported that he signed the bill on Garland's approval without having per- sonally given it any special examination or consideration. The strong demand for its passage came from the granger element at the west, and, though imperfect, put- ting it into practical working may lead to the perfection of a most beneficent law. The amendment to the Beck bill, pro- hibiting congressmen from acting as at- torneys for land grant railroads, was passed Friday in the Senate. saw cannons. Much interest is felt here over the state legislature struggles for the election of U. S. Senators. Tennessee after a long contest has elected another Confederate soldier, but a man of fair abili‘. , who will walk into the next Senate on crutches in consequence of having lost a leg by the careless shooting of Union soldiers in the late “unpleasantness.” Texas has elected ex-Coufederate Cou- gressmau and Postmaster-General Reagan, now a member of the House, in place of Maxy, who was educated in the art of war at West Point at the nation’s cost, and then did as so many others did, went into the treasonable scheme to destroy his foster mother. Nevertheless every one about .the Senate seems to regret that it is not Coke instead of Maxy who is to be suspended, for the latter is a gentleman, while the former is accusedlof eating with his knife and drying his proboscis with his coat sleeve in the wildest of south- western style. A few senators believe Harrison will be readmitted because of the outrageous frauds in Indiana, but the democrats have the proverbial “possession nine points of law” in their favor. In West Virginia it is deemed improb- able that Camden will be elected, but whoever it may be he will be a democrat of the rebel persuasion. In New Jersey it is claimed that if the friends of Sewell would drop him and run Wm.Walter Phelps,the four labor members of the legislature would vote for and elect him. But it is not anticipated that Sena- tor Scwell expects to do otherwise than to go down with flags flying, and the chances are a democrat will slip in from a foreign state. The islands lying north of there are in the doubtful or disputed possession of some of the small states of that country, and those great powers have nothing to do_ but go and establish themselves and- raise their flag and have themselves in a position far better suited to oflensive or defensive operations than the island of C'prus is in respect of the Suez canal. ct Great Britain did not leave her last great continental struggle without having drawn into her possession—it is true upon a quasi lease, a sort of shrewd arrange- ment which she exercises over the island of prrus—but she (lid not leave until she got her flag and her foothold planted there and her naval stations in a position to. command the entrance to the Sues canal.

He says he has made domestic live stock of all kinds a study, and that it would be better to have pleura-pneumonia, smallpox or cholera spread over the United States than to suffer the ravages which will result from the importation of these rabbits. The matter was referred to the treasury department. One of the officials of that department said to-day that as there is no law to prevent the im- portation of rabbits the matter will be laid before the committee of ways and means for such action as may be deemed neces- sary. —- ' oraiui. Theodore Thomas American opera was here all last Week and sang to overflowing houses. The personals of the company numbers over three hundred individuals. It took a special train of thirteen cars to bring and carry the troupe in and from the city. The Post says their receipts for the week were fully $25,000, but that it re- quired $5,000 in the house to raise the curtain on the safe side of the expense account. and the ordinary weekly expenses are $21,000. The lowest weekly salary to any member of the company is $23.50, and the highest is more than ten times that amount. Next to running a news- paper au opera company ranks in point of In New Hampshire it is apprehended that by a coalition of democrats General Gill.

The democrats are in a quandary. They want to pose before the country as model economists, and as a purely demo- cratic reform want to take the tax of! whiskey and tobacco. On the other hand such is the universal and popular demand for the inauguration of some sort of a commencement, at least, of a navy and coast defences that they are at their wits ends. If they appropriate for the nation's defence then they can’t abate the taxes on whiskey and tobacco, at the demand of their party followers. It is a tight place for a democrat. The chances are that enough patriotic democrats will unite with the republicans and make some sort of a decent appropriation for creating the means to protect our unprotected cities from all chances of destruction from any foreign fee. This will require a vast expenditure, and whiskey and tobacco will have to stand the strain as it now does in supplying the means of paying our enormous pension appropriations. The first estimate for pensions submitted to the first federal congress that met in New York in 1790 called for only $8,667 for invalid pensions, and $96,979 for pen- sions granted at various times by the previous continental congress. The last revolutionary pensioner is long since dead and that account closed. Who then could have anticipated that this nation would in less than a century be paying a hundred millions annually in pensions ? mwurr mu. rassan. Senator Hawlcy's coast Defence Bill, appropriating sixteen millions of dollars, to commence with, passed the Senate Monday. It was strongly supported by Senator Morgan at the democratic side, who alone of all his party in the senate, seems to have any appreciation of an American Policy. Saturday, when the Eads Isthmus transit Bill was up be de- clarcd himself in favor of apolicy (like that embodied in the resolutions reported some years ago by Senator Eaton, of Con- necticut, from the committee on foreign relations) that, whatever transit there might be across the isthmus should be “Dr dcr the control of the United States gov- ernment, either absolutely and indepeud. entiy or in connection with the govern- ment through whose territory it passes. As to the Panama canal. he thought that the United States government had been derelict in not informing France (if France was the power behind the canal builders) that this government had an in. terest in that question predominant over that of any other government in the world. Continuing, Mr. Morgan made the fol- lowing startling statement : I happened this morning to see a letter from one of our ministers who remarked rear. can re auou o gggeNQSudafidlrslgi ships onghofh sides of the Isthmus of Panama. Quite a number of vessels are there now ;. some of.them are very heavy vessels. I interpret it that both of these governments are on the look. out for their interests in that quarter, and it confirms what is stated by this officer that the islands which lie so conveniently near to the coasts of the isthmus at the mouth of. that canal willbe taken pos. session of. and fortified by one of those great powers. . Mr. Hale—Does the senator understand that the large ships to which he refers as being there are war ships? . Mr. Morgan.—They are war . ships. Some of the heaviest war ships in both navies are there now. My own beliof is, and I throw it out for the consummation of the Senate, that those governments nre preparing to seize islands in the vicinity of that canal with a View of havrug an inde dent right to them, with the pnwer of fortifying them at their will and peas- expensiveuess. conunc'rrour BANK connrssroa'arr. Fix-Congressman Luuder's appointment ship, is surprising through pleasant news to his many friends here. During his two Congressional terms he proved him. self a useful and capable member. He is possessed with the soundest kind of good common Sense and is universally a favor. ite. His only drawback is his “dreadful" politics. His amiable political delusions are however, always freely forgiven even by the most radical republican, so inex- haustable is his fund of good nature. At the opening of his . last congressional session, in the seat drawing lottery, he chanced-to get a desk right between Jerry Harralsou, the colored Congressman from Alabama and Delegate Cannon of Utah, and he will remember with what sedulous care the writer labored to save him from contamination, while he was thus sand- wiched between those “twin relics of barbarism" slavery and Mormonism. His democracy proved impregnable, though Harralson, we' believe, made such seduc- tive impressions on him as to occasionally borrow his money. He is a square, honest man, without a deceitful or tricky grain in his nature. reasonans.

It is with the profouudest regret that we chronicle the frightful death of Louis B. James, son of our honored friend, Editor Coley James of the Thomaston Express. Deceased was on board the ill fated train that was hurled from a bridge onto the ice bound river below at White River Junction, Vt,, last Saturday morning, crushing and burning, about fifty passen- gers to death. Mr. James was sleeping when the accident occurred, and was pin- ned down by timbers and roasted to death. One account says: “His head and face were boiled, and the flesh hung in shreds. He had evidently lain upon his face on the ice, which had melted and been trans- formed iuto hot water. The back of his legs and body were entirely burned away to the bones.” To add to the unpleasant. ucss of the affair, the body is claimed by other parties, friends of some unidentified victim, and the authorities refuse to sur- render the remains uutil an indisputable identification is established. Brother James, the grief stricken father, will have the deep and heartfelt sympathy of his many friends, journalistic and others, in his crushing bereavement. Deceased was about 26 years old, a compositor on the New Haven Palladium, and a member of the New Haven Grays, 2d regiment. At the time of his death he was on his way to attend the great carnival at Montreal. ”fi— Sturges vs Town. The case of B. J. Sturges vs. Town of Norwalk was begun in the superior'court, Bridgeport, yesterday. This is an action to recover commissions for the collection of town taxes on the list of 1877, pluintifl having been elected constable and collector in 1878. The total amount of taxes on the grand list was something over.$60,000 and plaintiff sues for 2 per cent commis- sion, amounting to $1,200, which with interest aggregates $1,750. Thesuit was first brought in 1879, before the» superior court. and was heard last year on demur- rer, plaintifi demurring to the grounds set up by defendent, Which were that the town had in 1877 voted a salary of $800 for the collection of the tax, a vote which plaintiff claims was in direct violation of the statute which expressly stipulates that the collector’s remuneration shall be two per cent. of the total assessment. The judge preferred tohave the case heard in full, and it has been in the superior court ever since but bids fair now to be settled.

City Attorney Thompson, has been browsing among the musty records of the past in an attempt to discover how much of Housatonic avenue belongs to the city and how much to the Housatonic Rail- road Co. He emerged from the dust, fig- uratively speaking, la'st night and reported to the council the results of his search. It appears that years ago the company purchased from different parties a strip of land from North avenue to the depot varying in width from 85 feet to fourrods. Housatonic avenue and water street when laid out afterwards 50 odd feet wide, on. crouched somewhat on the company’s right of way. Various mutual agreements have since been made between the city and company, but none of them have af- fected the latter’s right of way which it can claim to full width whenever new tracks make. it necessary.-—Bridgeport News. - O The Grea Accident. The great Norwalk accident, which is now historical, was eclipsed by the White River Junction catastrophe of last Satur- day morning, when the passenger and sleeping coaches of the Montreal Express train were hurled from a bridge a distance of about 60 feet onto a frozen river, where the deadly heiiters set fire to the wreck and transformed the wirole into a funeral pyre, consuming such of the helpless vic- tims as were held down by timbers and debris. Over thirty bodies have thus far been taken out and it is feared that others have fallen through the ice and floated down the river. The exact number of the dead will probably never be known. The awful details have been too graphically described in the daily press to need a recital by us. It was the worst catastro- phe the country has had in' years. .—.—————00 .____..__ The Supreme Question of the Day. Under this head the Mail and Express discusses the matter of national safety and the necessity of prompt and generous appropriations for defense. It says: “We suppose that no intelligent and well informed American citizen, outside of the peculiar local atmosphere of Washington, would doubt the general support of a bill judiciously appropriating even as much as $200,000,000 for the creation of a navy and of a system of coast defence, during the next two or three yeaas. 0n no other subject is there such unanimity of well- iustructed sentiment; no other measure is imperatively demanded by such a variety of overwhelming reasons. ‘ CO That’s So.

A few days ago Sheriff Slocum of Win- sted, let his horse to a man and when the animal was returned its condition was such that the sherifi sent for Dr. Bland, of Waterbury, who prououunced the horse beyond cure and advised killing us the best thing to be done. Tire animal was promptly killed and now the sheriff is obliged to walk. The horie was valued at $150. Thomas Restou of Waterbury, passed Wednesday at Thomaston where he got drunk. He then went to his old boarding place there and his former laudlady’s hus- band pounded him on the head and drove him forth shoeless and hatlcss. He ran back to Waterbury, and the doctor who attended him found that his head was horribly gushed and that his feet were so badly frozen that they will probably have to be cut oil. To match the story of the gas meter at Wallingford that registered a bill of $83 in a week, when no gas was used, the Norwich Bulletin has this: “Here in Norwich the meters are correct. In a building in this city there was a gas meter in use for twelv years which did duty for an organization and in all that time it did not register a foot of gas. It has not been in use, however, since the company ‘got on to it.’ ” Last Thursday Rev. Henry Newton, a popular and well-known minister of Union Point, went to button his clothes when, to his surprise and consternation. his left arm broke in two just above the elbow. An examination was made by a physician, when it was discovered that Mr. Newton had for some time been suffering from a cancer of the bone, but the pain had been so slight that he thought it an attack of rheumatism. The limb was amputated and he is doing as well as could be ex- pected—New London Day. The dry, gritty snow that fell Wednes- day night made some had work on the railroads. At Mount Riga, on the Con- uecticut Western road, the snow fell to the depth of six inches and drifted heavily in the cuts. The train which left Hart- ford Wednesday night was blocked at that point, and the train coming in from the west was also unable to get through. The two engines had been bucking at the drifts all night and were still at it yester- day afternoon, but it was expected the line would be clear by evening.—Oourant, 4th. One of those peculiar cases that some- times happen, took place at the town court in Ansonia recently. Michael Collins eu- tered a complaint against his son Thomas, for assault upon his brother James, and also breaking windows in his father’s house. He plead guilty to the charge and was fined $7 and costs, amounting to $15.90. Thomas had no money with which to pay. Rather than see his son go to jail, the father paid his fine and costs, being by the operation so many dollars poorer than he would have been if he had not appealed to the law. The boy went unpuuishcd. A Waterbury girl aged 18 died at the house of friends on Friday. At her own home two other children lay ill of scarlet fever. The family were notified that no wake could be allowed in their house but, notwithstanding, had ~the body removed there and made their preparations. A considerable party assembled and a second visit from the health officer was necessary. Then the guests who had been absorbing contagion to take home to their own children were compelled to leave. This part of the afiair is thus described by the American: “During the evening, by order of the. board of health, the family were again notified of the wishes of the health board through their representative, Dr. French. The people who in accord- ance with the custom, had assembled at - Dolle- Keeps His Coat On. We are pleased to note that our highly esteemed neighbor, Belles, of the New Milford Gazette has reformed.

It teems with well-timed and sensible advice which is made all the more powerful by the ex- pressed determination of the writer him- self to follow his own precepts: “We can say that we have had some personal discipline in this respect. Once, filled With anger we used to sit down to write out for publication our views on s0me_subject.

Wemow wait until we have cooled down, and our advice to all is to keep their coats on until they know what they are about.” We heartily congratulate our esteemed friend on his reformation, and now that Ire has learned to subdue himself and “cool- down," our fond desire is to see him well married, for his moral victory has removed one obstacle to conjugal bliss by saving his future wife the trouble of subduing him and cooling him down. —‘——‘->———~— A Suggestion.

It is undisputed that the majority of the in- mates of the charitable institutions re- ceiving by law the excise moneys are brought there, directly or indirectly, as the result of intemperauce; and it is “to promote temperance and to increase the revenues from which the-poor and unfor- tuuate In our institutions are largely suppported," that the grades of licenses and fees therefor are as follows: License to sell strong and spirituous liquors, wines, ale and beer to he drank on the premises, $200 (instead of $75.) License to sell ale and beer only, to he drunk on the premises, $30 (unchanged) License to sell ale, beer and wines only, to be drunk on the premises $50 (formerly $75.) Store-keeper’s license to sell strong in quantities less than five gallons, not to be drunk on the premises: For places selling $2,500 worth or less a year, $50; , , for places selling morethau $2,500 worth, .but less than $5,000 worth, $100; for places selling $5,000 worth or more, but. less than $10,000 worth, $150; for places selling $10,000 worth or more, $250. [Grading these licenses Is ucw.] License or first-class hotel, $250. A hotel having or cafe, and a hotel having either a bar, restaurant or cafe, and having fifty or more sleeping rooms, shall be considered a first-class hotel. License for second- class hotel, $200. _____...>_- __ _ The Press and the Governor. The truthful admission made by the es- teemed Hartford Telegram that Governor Lounsbury .has thus far discharged the duties of his oflcc in a creditable manner seems to have struck the republican press of the state as a remarkable statement. n by it should we are unable to see. The election is over and Mr. Lounsbury has been elected fairly. according to the pro- vision of that peculiar decument, the state constitution. No honest, fair minded pa- per, therefore, could nttempt to guage his capacity by those standards of partisan- ship which so long as he was the nominee of a particular party drove it to prefer some other man to him. Once elected governor, he becomes by the natural pro- cess of political success the chief execu- tive of all parties, and has a right. to expectthe impartial support of all law- abiding citizens. In the same manner, it becomes his duty to execute the laws for the benefit of all; to the detriment of none. Mr. Lounsbury as governor is be- ing accorded that respect by the press of the state which every other overnor en- joyed-so long as be faithful v and con- scientiously performed the duties of his ofilcc. That Mr. Lounsbury is entitled to the compliment paid him by the Telegram is creditable to him and his sincerity of purpose. If he continues as he has begun, moreover. he will find that the democra- tic press of Connecticut will continue to treat him with the same uniform courtesy and frankness, out of respect to the high office he holds, as well as in deference to that open-hearted acknowledgement of a service Well performed which is charac- teristic of every right-minded journal.— New Haven.

This represents an honest and industrious class of citizens, “The Old-Fashioned Shoemaker.” It isafact that some of our 11 cast and best shoes are the old-fashioned hand-made, but how differ— ent in style and finish from those made thirty and forty years ago. Occasionally elderly people say: “Wily don’t you have shoes such as they used to make? Apair would then last a. year. Shoes ain’t good for nothin’ nowadays. Ain’t much better than paper. Don’t last none. Nothing is as good as it used to be,” etc. But these people would hesitate before being set back, were it possible.tothe “good old days of our dads,” and especially so with the young. These are good days, and they make good shoes in these and we have them, no doubt. An old farmer came in a few days since. Want- ed a regular old-fashioned shoe for his two girls; bright, wide awake misses of 14 to 16. Something that will wear. We brought them forward. Stout cowhide upper, low flat heel, broad heavy sole sewed on to stay, low cut and laced up in front. Just suited the old man. But. “land sakes,” the girls wouldn’t even look at them the second time. Saidifyou want them, buy, but we won’t wear them. We sold thema goat, button, and each a pair of rubbers, a luxury the old people knew nothing about. Young people want the same styles of shoes and wearing apparel as other young people wear. And this is right. , hod .
