The last number'of the Nineteenth Century magazine, of London, contains a very eru- dite and able paper on “Our Great Com- petitor,” meaning thereby the United States of America. The article is by James Keith and he enumerates several, of wha t rc- gards as advantages, we of the United States enjoy over England, and among the chief are these : . Greater encouragement of invention by the Government, lesser taxation, free and universal education, the better regulation of local affairs because of our State system, the far more prosperous condition of agriculture in a country where the farmers generally own instead of hiring their land, the smaller cost of food, and the vastly superior natural resources. The only advantage which he finds that England has over us is in its cheaper labor, by reason of which it is enabled to send into our markets manufactured articles, despite our heavy import duties. But that advan- tage will soon be lost, in -his opinion, be- cause the United States are “ tending tow- ard the adoption of free trade,” when “ the the price of labor in America will come down.” Another of the advantages possessed by us, as enumerated by Mr. Keith, is the better condition of our working men. “ Though clothing, luxuries, labor and attendance are considerable dearer than in this country, [England] still the average American work- ingman lives 100 per cent better than the average workingman does in Great Britain, because he has higher wages and cheaper food in greater variety.” Free trade is one of the doctrines of Mr. Henry George, whose point of view is so generally English, but it is no more popular amomg American workingmen, than his land theory is among American farmers tilling their own soil. They prefer the higher wages which Mr. Keith says they owe to protection, and the 100 per cent better living than the English workingmen get. Yet Mr. Keith encourages himself and the British public, by the fact that at least one great political party in America is committed to free trade, and when that issecured, as he flatters himself it is to be, then wages must of necessity come down, and we of the U. S. will not continue to be the damaging competitor , of England we now are, in the manufactur- ing and commercial world. Here is abund- ant tlrought for the best intelligence of the American workingman. —————<‘>——— Chandler Elected- The threatened bolt in the New Hamp- shire Legislature did not show itself, and Chandler was, as he deserved to be, triumph- antly elected U. S. Senator. The mug- wump and democratic howl of “crucify him, crucify him,” has filled all the land, and with no more justice than when that mad cry was uttered of old. Mr. Chandler‘s, only crime has been being an earnest, as well as honest republican. He was active in preventing the stealing Of southern elec- toral votes, and the outright purchase of Oregon in the Hayes election. But neither the malignity Of desperate democrats, nor the spite of those few republicans whoivote the democratic ticket, could find one single ille- gal or improper act that he had committed in that desperate encounter with political scoundrels. Had he been at the head of the National Committee in the last election, the great state of New York would not have been stolen from Mr. Blaine, after amajority of votes, however small, had been cast for him, as is Well known to have been the fact by members of that committee and others. What the nation and the republican party needs for its best interests is a large addi- tion to the number of just such high-minded, resolute and fearless republicans as Wm. E. Chandler, and “may his tribe increase.” “Honored Sons of Norwalk.” THE GAZETTE states, and THE Itncoun copies thus: “Judge Clark Bissell was not* a judge of our courts, etc.” The history of Fairficld County states: “In 1829 he was sent from Norwalk to the legislature, and at the session of that year he was elected a judge Of the Supreme Court of Errors, He loccupied this position till 1839. when he resigned. In 1842 and 1843, he represented the Twelfth District in the senate; and in 1847 and 1848, successively, he was elected Governor of the State. While holding this Office he accepted the appointment _Of Kent professor of law in Yale College.

It pro vided that ,— It shall not be lawful for any steam rail- road doing business in this state after the first day of May, 1888, to heat its passenger cars or other than mixed trains by any stove or furnace kept inside the car or suspended therefrom except it may be lawful in case of accident or other emergency to temporarily use such stove or furnace with necessary fuel, provided that in cars which have been equipped with apparatus to heat by steam, lrot water, lrot air from the locomotive or from a special car, the present stove may be retained to be used only when the car is standing still, and provided also, that the acts shall not apply to railroads less than 50 miles in length, nor to the use of stoves ofa pattern and kind to be approved by the rail- road commissioners I'or cooking purposes in dining room cars. Safety posts for bridge trusses are also pro- vided for; the penalty is $1000 and $100 a day during continuance of the violation. After Nov. 1, 1887, guard posts shall be placed in. the prolongation Of the line of bridge trusses, so that in case of derailment the posts and not the bridge trusses shall re- ceive the blow of the derailed locomotive or car. Upon application of any railroad covered by the provisions of the act the board of railroad commissioners may ap- prove of any proposrd safeguard or device to be used under the provisions of the act. ........_.1__‘.,_ ._ __L Fourth of July. A good and enjoyable, old-filshioned Fourth of July celebration might be had here, in. Norwalk, ifsome one man would only move in the matter. Au oration could be had from Dr. Anderson, the Declaration read by some of our other patriotic clergy, the band could play and our singing clubs give us patriotic songs, the old cannon could be mounted on Town House Hill and give us a national milute bells rung and a show of fireworks be hadin the evening, and it all need not cost over a hundred dollars. Yet no one here seems to, have life enough to start the matter. and so our people will go to Stamford and Port Chester, where they do celebrate, or down to Staten Island on the City of Albany's excursion, because no attractions are offered at home. _‘+,____ The Gap Left by Mark Hopkins. Not since Dr. Leonard Bacon has the Con_ gl'egational church lost a leader whose death has left a greater void in her councils than that of err-President Mark Hopkins. He belonged peculiarly to that type of in- tellectual patriarchs in .the church, whose strong personality as well as age of service, had done so much to quell dissension and point the way of peaceful church progress. It seems strange and sad that he should have passed away justas the controversy of the two ftheologies is fairly joined. and he had stepped to the van of the struggle, not as a warrior, but as a peace-maker.—Ncw Haven .News. i Y. M. C. A. A meeting of the Y. M. C. A., of Norwalk, Will be held at their new rooms, at Lock- wood’s Hall, this, Wednesday evening, at 8 o’clock. to perfect arrangements for the future usefulness of the Association. Mr. .Philo P. Havcn, the resident secretary, is now on the ground, and is rapidly complet- ing the detai‘s of the organization. The room in the Lockwood Building already pre- sents an attractive appearance. The floor has been nicely carpeted, the walls made attractive by a neat wall paper and a well- appointed desk for the use of the Secretary placed in the room. Arrangements are being made for a choice selection of reading matter for the young men of Norwalk. Mr. Haven. the general secretary, would be pleased to know of any one who would like to give a year’s subscription to some leading paper or, magazine. A list of desirable papers may be had from him at any time. There will be supplied a constantly increas- ing list of papers and magazines, which are free to all who will call and read them, thus affording a place where an hour, or a day, or an evening may be spent, here in Norwalk, where the influences are elevating and in- structive. Au adjourned meeting of the Board of Directors of the Young Men’s Christain Association is called for this, Wednesday, evenina. A meeting is also called, at eight o’clock, on the same evening. of the membership of the Association. Some points of the corr- stitution which were referred to a committee are tO be approved and an opportunity given for all the members to meet the general secretary. The secretary would like to meet at this meeting any who are interested in out door sports. A base ball nine has been suggested as well as a rambling or rowing club. The Associations at Bridgeport and at Stamford have ball clubs which would be anxious to meet the “boys ” of our local association on the field. ~ ————a»——-—— OBITUARY. Charles Moeler.

At the annual banquet of the Sons of the Revolution, held at Delmonicos, last Friday ment to the martyr spy, Nathan Hale, in City Hall Park, as near as possible to the, spot where this brave Connecticut youth, who wept because he had but one lifeto give to his country, was executed by the British. A vote was also taken on the choice of three models submitted by sculptors for approval. and it is a compliment that Karl Gerhardt of Hartford. the artist who has just comple- ted the Halo monument for our own state, that his cast was selected by a. large majori- ty of the vote cast. The New York design is an ideal figure of Halo, standing in a reso- lute attitude and dressed in the uniform of a Continental Captain. It will be of bronze, ten foot high and resting on a granite pedes- tal. Its cost will be about $10,000, which will be paid by the above society. W. W, Astor, John J. Pierpont, Judge John Fitch, Ex-Senator Benjamin, of Stratford and other descendants of patriot sires, are promi- nent members of this society. The Housatonic R.

The arade ofyesterday was the biggest thing New Haven has ever seen, and the memory Of it will never die from the recollection of the “old inhabitant." The city was decorated from one end to the other with flags and bunting. The day was ushered in with the ringing of bells and the roaring of artillery at Indian Head; the chime of bells at Indian Head rang out aconccrt of ten national airs. The parade column was addressed, on reaching the monument, by the orators of the day, who were eloquent and world-re- nowned. .

INCREASE YOUR PENSION. Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled to a much higher rate of pension than they now receive. Inagreat majority of cases In which pension was granted for disease, the pensioner is entitled to an increase of rate. and in most cases where it was granted for wounds or injuries the disability increases each year. As tlrne passes the disability otzalllclasses-naturally increases. Many were at first rated too low. and it often occurs that nsloners are unjustly or erroneously re- duced)e by examining surgeons. A pensioner is entitled to increase on a disablllty not set forth in his original declaration. The pension laws are more liberal than formerly. and better rating can he had for many disabilities. I make a specialty of Neglected and Rejected Claims. and If you Will .present- ms with a brief statement of your case, stating by whom it was presented, I will obtain a rehearing or your case, and, if it has merit. will procure a favorable settlement. Many claims stand rejected before the department, when It only requires a competent attorney to make them good cases. Soldiers majoring with. disabilities contracted in service, who have not applied for a pension, should do so as it is their RIGHT.

The most desirable unimproved property in Norwalk is now for the first time in the market. Every- body knows that Prospect Hill I~ well deserves its name, and it would long ago have been dotted with cot- tages if the property had been for as e. ' The plot now offered lies west of the New York and Boston Turnpike, east of Bouton Lane and north of Prospect Avenue. It has been di- vided into blocks of suitable size by avenues 50 feet wide, crossing each other at right angles. These will be fenced, turnpiked, and put into first- class order without expense to put- chasers. There are nearly three hundred lots of 50 feet front and from 150 to 250 feet deep, which will be sold at prices ranging from $50 to $450 to prompt purchasers, men who buy to build. ' Lying midway between Norwalk and South Norwalk, part of the property is within the‘ borough limits, part within the city lines, and the remainder outside of both. Easily accessible, affording a_ splendid View at Ila Sflllllll and of a large area of the surround- ing country, well wooded, airy, free from undesirable surroundings. Building lots in this magnificent lo- cation are offered for the present at such low prices and on such Easy Terms that every prudent man can afford to bu . With every deed warranted there can be no question as to perfect security in title. The soil is rich and the lots are large enough for a house and garden on each. The City Water runs through the premises. No more desirable property can be found. The prices are very low, the terms are easy. and the location so admirable that the announcement that these lots are in the market should be sufficient to command a rapid sale. It is the poor man’s op- portunity and affords unparalleled attractions for everybody. Early buyers will secure the best locations. It should be the ambition of every man to lel in Ills on House. Hundreds of men in Norwalk live in tenements where there are few con- veniences and fewer comforts, and pay a large share of their earnings for rent. These men can now buy lots, build houses according to their means, save money and be independ- ent of landlords. It is easy to save when so much is to be gained. Let no man say he cannot afford to buy a lot. Examine the map, look at the property,” and then the terms will be made to suit your circumstances. There should be no delay. There never was a better opportunity, and this should not he lost. Mn. Janus W. HYATT, who has hitherto had charge of the above property, having been called to Washington, it has now been, put in the hands of the subscriber: Two' new streets are to be opened through the property, which‘ will furnish many new lots at a low figure.
