EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. 0., Dec. 6th, 1887.
Dram GAZETTE :—
For a week past the capitol city has been
in a glow of fervent political warmth, and
for the past three days it has waxed into a
white heat. culminating Saturday night in
the re-nomination of Carlisle for speaker,
and the major portion of the subordinate of—
licers of the House, from the strictly south-
ern wing of the democratic party. In this
case, as in ante-bellum days, it is the south-
ern democratic dog that Wags the northern
democratic tail. Of course all sorts of sur-
niiscs are afloat as to what the Carlisle pol-
icy will be, as it is to be developed in the
selection and arrangement of the House
committees. .He was nominated for speaker
solely because it was believed by his party
friends that he could aid his part y more of-
fectually iii the chair, than he could on the
floor. He can be depended upon to do two
things—one to throw all the weight of his
creative and guiding influence in organizing
the committees, in favor of free trade and
yet to beguile the protective element of his
party, as represented by Sam. Randall, by
giving that distinguished high-tariff man
one of the most important of all the c0m-
riiittec chairmanships.
New York made a vigorous cli'ort to wrest
the doorkeeper from the South, at Saturday
night’s House caucus, but it was a dismal
failure, Mr Hiird, the nominee of the south.
ern wing, carrying oil the honors. The
"official” democratic Washington Post, gave
this delicate admonition the morning fol-
lowing the caucas :—
“It was hardly proper to fight about it
gentlemen. A democratic caucus is not nec-
essarily a Donnybrook Fair.”
It is very evident that the Post editor
was not educated in the New York school
of democratic politics, for on the morning
prior to the caucus he gave place to this
wail of a “National Democrat,” which fell
as dead as a. December leaf, on the
Southern caucus votaries assembled in
the great hall of the House of Representa-
tives Saturday night :—
“TO THE EDITOR or 'i'rm Posr :—I would
like to avail myself of your columns to pro-
test against the “cross-road” politics of sun-
dry candidates for the offices of the House
of Representatives in buttonholing and
bothering incoming members for personal
promises to vote for them, regardless of the
national politlcal situation and the proprie-
ties of official life. _ ' .
We are on the eve of another Presrdeutia
election, and to carry certain Northern
States is absolutely necessary for the success
of the Democratic candidate, be he whom he
may. The Southern States, may, I think,
be regarded as safe and sure for him, and
hence the patronage of the House is not es
sential to strengthen them.
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut,
with the Southern States, will elect him ;
and to secure these pivotal States all the
aid possible will be required, and I submit
these States should be considered first in the
selection of House officers. New York, in
view of recent events, may be regarded as
Democratic. New Jersey, Indiana and Con—
riecticut are doubtful. (Pennsylvania, the
sister State of New Jersey, is hopelessly Ile-
publican, and will give Mr. Blaine or Mr.
Depew nearly 100,000 majority). Ought
not the Southern States then, be content
with the lesser house Offices, or none at all.
and give the important places to Democratic
gentlemen of the Sorthern States so essen-
tial to carry? Would it not be wiser and
better for incoming members of the House
to nominate men from the doubtful North-
ern States? If it should be deemed best to
give the four principal House officers to
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Indiana, with the object of placing men
where they will “do the most good,” the
Southern members, I submit, should ac-
quiesce for the welfare of the whole.
. A N A'rrONAL DEMOCRAT.
The New York Sun’s truthful report of
the “happy family” caucus, shows the efi‘ect
the above plea had on the “unterrilied” :
“The nomination of Speaker Carlisle, the
Clerk, Sergeant-at-Arms, and Postmaster
were made by acclamation, and then an ex-
citing time began. Breckenbridge of Ark-
ansas made a long speech in bitter opposi-
tion to Candidate Donaldson. There was a
war Of words between Breckenridge and
Blount of Georgia. The latter gave the lie
to Breckenridge, who thereupon struck
Blount in the face. They were then im.
mediately separated. Rumors of bloody
noses anda regular list battle are being cir-
culated. The latter was anxious tO com-
pletely knock Blount out, and they were
separated with difficulty.”
' The Democratic Senators also held acau-
cus Saturday p. m., at which they resolved
to oppose the swearing in of as many Re-
publican Senators, as the Republicans should
attempt to oppose of their new members.
Unusual numbers of politicians of both
parties, are just now crowding the city. The
meeting here Thursday of the Republican
National Committee, to select a place and
the time for holding the next Republican
National Convention, of course, draws a
host of active and influential Republicans
from about every state in the Union, while
the chances and “deals” for Offices in the
new organization of the House, has congre-
gated hcre a motley mob of the “unterri-
lied,” whose one sole doctrinal belief is the
old democratic dogma, that, “to the victors
belong the spoils.”
Connecticut has a delegation in the new
House, Of full average capacity, but all four
of our members will labor under the disad-
vantages of being new members. The vener~
able,staid and upright Judge Granger Of our
District, is perhaps more strongly contrasted
with the young, alert and intellectually
sprightly Republican member who succeeds
Col. Waite from the New London District.
The press of our State has a creditable rcp—
resentative in New Britain’s versatile editor,
who like Colfax and so many others who
have, won congressional distinction, came
up at the “case” and graduated only at the
“poor boy’s college,” the printing oflice.
The New York Sim enjoys a. monopoly in
its representation here, in the keen and
bright, but gentle and quiet Mcrrinian, and
the able, caustic, universal, editorial genius,
Amos J. Cummings. It is without a prece-
dent, we believe, for any newspaper to have
two of its editorial staff occupying members’
seats in Congress at the same time. While
we think Of it, it strikes us that the Sun, of
all the democratic newspapers of the coun-
try. seems to have allotted to it all the
choicest cuts Of Democratic veal, just now.
The Democratic party is fully organized
and every office holder in the country is an
active and vigilant committee of one to
secure voters for the Democratic candidates.
Therefore the Republican party of the na-
tion will feel itself admonished to be up and
doing And, as organization is the road to
victory, Republican clubs should be formed
everywhere, and Republican ideas impressed
upon the masses Of the voters of the country.
The Republican party has principles and is
not afraid to declare them, because it has an
abiding faith in the good sense, honesty
and patriotism of the American people.
Here, at the national capital, it hasjust or-
ganizeda National League,‘which it is be-
lieved is destined, to become a great political
force, and will embrace in its membership
influential Republicans from every state aml
territory. n cdnesday evening the first
public reception was given at the league
rooms, and among,r others Senator Platt was
called Out to speak. He said :
The League has not been organized to in-
fluence elections in this vicinity, but for a
grander and wiser purpose, and that is that.
there shall go out from this capital an influ-
once which shall give the Republican party
a new lease of life in this country. [Cheers]
l believe it can do it. [Cheers] The Re~
pnblican party needs just two things, and
ihose are courage and conscience. I don’t
care which you put first, conscience or cour-
age, or courage and conscience. That is
what it needs to win.
The Republican party needs courage to
cake on.the aggressive, and the moment it
.IIO‘OS it, it will be on the road to victory, I
sometimes get discouraged when I find my
Republican friends sitting down and taking
.ihings as .they come, and making no effort to
.win back what they have lost, and which we
.will never wan batik until we light for it.
[Cheers ] Never until we attack ilie enemy.
[Cheers] If the Republican party had done
one-half of the t..ings which are open to
criticism that the Democratic administra-
tion has done within the last. two years and l
a half that it has been in power every Dem- l
ocratic paper in the land would be an ',
attacking body against the Republican party,
and if we are going to win we have only to
commence the attack. [Cheers] The Demo—
cratic party and this Dem )crauc adminis-
tration is open to criticism, and we want to
attack it all along the line. [Cheers] That
is the duty of this League, to infuse spirit
into Republicans all over the Iaml ; to point
out the spots where the Democratic party
and administration is vulnerable to attack.
[Cheers]
General “Bob" Shenck in his eloquent
speech paid the following incidental tribute
to our friends the “nrugwumps :"
The Republican party is depended upon
by the people of this country for the preser-
vation of what we have voted and fought
for, and if it is to be preserved it. must. be
through work. It must not be allowed to
fall into a state of indifference and apathy
or compromise. There must be no com—
promise with anybody, not even the Mug—
wumps. I will give you my definition of a
Mugwurnp. He is a scab upon the rear
part of the Democracy. The Democracy
would rub the part and smooth it down for
awhile, and sometimes scratch it, but event-—
ually they sat down upon it.
nonnar's PROCEEDINGS.
The Senate and House were called to
order at 12 in. A quorum was found pres-
ent in both houses. In the House Repre—
sentative Cox nominated Mr. Carlislc and
he was elected. Grand and glorious “Tom”
Reed, of Maine, received the full Republi—
can votc. T he other caucus nominees were
elected for the other minor House offices.
The oath was administered to Speaker
Carlislc by “Father" Kelley, ofPennsyl-
vania. Just as the House was called to
order a crank in the gallery yelled out an
invitation to the assembled multitude to
join him in singing the “Doxology.” Then
he raised his voice in a chant that sounded
through the ball. A moment of hushed
surprise and a. roar of laughter rang
through the House. The clerk ordered the
sergeant-at-arms to arrest the disturber of
the peace. When the man was taken from
the gallery he carried in his hand a sus—
picious package, which some called “dyna—
mite" and others called “tracts.” .
The drawing for seats began in the House
about 2 o’clock, and lasted more than an
hour. Mr. Kelley and Mr. Cox were given
their Old seats. The rest took chances and
did the best they could Many old mem—
bers saw their old seats taken before their
eyes, but could not help it.
On the stroke of 12 with one tap of the
gavel President pro tempore. Ingalls wiled
the Senate to order, and, after prayer by
the chaplain, Rev. Dr. Butler, he proclaim-
ed thc Senate of the F iftieth Congress form—
ally in session. The new senators were thin
sworn in, in platoons of four at a time, in
alphabetical order. ,
There was no “hitch” in the Senate or—
ganization, as was so widely predicted, over
the West Virginia senator-elect. His case
being referred, by consent Of both parties,
to the committee on privileges and elections.
Treasurer Hyatt was an interested specta-
tor on the floor of the Senate during the
swearing in of the new members. Mrs. O.
S. Ferry and daughter, Mrs. Jars. W. Hyatt
and other Norwalk ladies occupied the
Senate gallery.
A caucus of Republican senators was held
Monday p. m., after the Senate's adjourn-
merit, and the usual committee to arrange
the Senate committees was selected. Senator
Riddlebergcr showed his hand politically by
entering the Republic in caucus and accept—
ing a place upon its regular Caucus com~
iniltce.

Coal.
The appeal of the Pennsylvania coal-
miners to the editors of Philadelphia to
advocate their cause and try to procure
terms of peace with the operators did not
bring out as many enthusiastic responses
as the men probably hoped for: but the
frank and forcibly way in which Mr.
Singcrly epitomized the situation must
have made up for their disappointment in
in other quarters. “When the companies
are charging $1.25 advance per ton on
coal,“ said he, “and the miners are asking
only 3.3. cents advance, I am for the miners
every time.” Assuming that Mr. Singer-
ly’s figures are correct, this is the way
consumers will gem-rally feel.
An alarming scarcity of coal exists in
Western Kansas. It is said that the lam-
inc is due partially to the refusal of the
Atchison and Topeka road to furnisha
sufficient amount of cars and the citizens
threaten to help themselves to the com-
pany‘s coal unless they at once render as-
sistance. At Garden City a train was
side-tracked and relieved of some of the
surplus coal.
The New York City retailers coal ex-
change reduced the price of coal to
small consumers, last Friday, 25 cents per
too all around.
Our Norwalk dealers have pirt the price
up, all around, to ,3 per ton on the
ground that they cannot replenish their
present stocks at a less figure.

NORWALK GAZETTE:
No Extra. Session.
Gov. Lounsbnry has issued an exhaustive
letter concerning grade crossings. Among
other things it says:
A great corporation owns and operates. in
this state a railroad which runs through and
connects large centers of population and
trade and which from the natural advan-
tages of its position and from the high ability
Of its Officials, is prosperous to a remarkable
degree. Its earnings are so great that on
its stock an annual dividend can be declared
equal to the legal interest [on money, and
still leave a surplus large enough to enable‘
its owners to abolish, at their own expense.
in less than five years, and perhaps in less
~.than three, every grade crossing on their
line which can reasonably be abolished at
all.
This corporation, powerful by reason of
its accumulated wealth and its next revenue
is at the present time eliminating its grade
crossings in an adjacent slate wholly at its
own expense, while in this state it is evi-
dently entering upon a plan which involves
as far as possible the speedy changing of all
its grade crossings, and in nearly all, if not
in all the cases, it is endeavoring to throw a
considerable portion of the expense on the
towns. There is a deep and widespread
feeling that a railroad company :which is
changing its grade crossings in a neighbor-
boring state, wholly at its own expense,
either voluntarily or from force of law ex-
isting there, should change its similar cross-
ings, in this state, wholly at its own expense
either voluntarily or from force of law exist-
ing here.
It is certain that the legislature which
passed the law concerning the abolishing of
grade crossings was governed solely by mo-
tives that ha in view the public safety, but
there is a profound impressron that the di-
rectors of the railroad com any, in their pe-
titions under the law, are isposed to ignore
its spirit and intent, and in their apparent
plan to s eedily abolish all grade crossings
on their ine, they have chiefly in view the
improvement of their property, the saving
of expenses in gates and llagmen by substi-
tuting a less expense, the more rapid run-
ning of their trains, and hence the lessening
of the danger of successful competition.
Of the duties and the discretionary pow-
ers of the railroad commissioners, the Gov-
ernor says :
It is obvious that this spirit and intent of
the law are fully comprehended by the rail-
road commissioners. In their report to the
general assembly of last year, and in speak-
ing Of the great cost which the changing of
all the rade crossings would necessitate,
they used the following language: .
"‘Such a burden would be far too great to
be imposed at any one time on either the
railroads or towns, or both together, but if
extended over say, 20 years, and distributed
as it necessarily must be, over all the com
panics, and the many towns through which
the railroads run, while the burden would
still be considerable, it wouldnot be heavier
than the advantage gained would warrant.”
It is proper to infer, that the decisions of
the commissroncrs will be in harmony with
their own words above quoted, and if so, the
burden‘which ought to be distributed over
the space of 20 years, will not be allowed to
press heavily on any town for the single
year to come.
In conclusion the Governor remarks :
In this condition of affairs I am clearly of
the opinion that the danger of great and ir-
reparable wrong is not so imminent as to
cre'ate a special emergency, and hence, that
I should not be justified in calling an extra
session of the legislature.
You will permit me as one Of the citizens
of the state, to express the hope that the
good work of abolishing the grade crossings
will go on as rapidly as the prosperity of
the railroads and the rights of the towns will
permit, and in the mutual forbearace of all
parties, the railroad commissioners, in this
department of their duty, will be enabled to
act as mediators, rather than be compelled
to sit. as iudgcs

The Country Editor.
There is an idea in the minds of many
who might to know better that the “coun-
try editor" stands on the lowest platform
. of the profession, and that he who is em-
ployed in any capacity, no mattcrhow
humble, on a metropolitan journal is his
superior. There is no greater mistake.
An editor who has held important chairs
in metropolitan Offices, and who has the
reputation of having been successful, rc-
markcd: “I do not hesitate to write the
leaders of the most important journals,
but I would tremble to undertake the man-
agement of a village newspaper.” There
is no place in the profession so difficult to
fill as that of a country editor. In cities
: a. man who can do one department well
bothers himself about no other. Nor need
he; he gets the knack of his specialty, and
continues at it. But the country editor
must be good in all departments; he must.
be well read on all subjects; he must be
able to discern the trend of the public
mind in politics, religion, and social top-
ics; he must discuss agriculture and an-
archy with equal precision; he must be
fluent on polemics and politics; he must
write of the President and pumpkins; he
"must mind men of high degree and dc-
scend to things of low estate: in short, he
must be an "all-’round man." It is this
that makes the posrtion of a country edi-
tor so hard to fill. It is this training that
makes the good country editor such a
splendid manager for a metropolitan daily.
There is no place, except in a country of-
liccl, where such all-round training can be
llll .
The position of a country editor is not
held in the esteem it should be. Country
papers are not respected as they ought to
be. If a family can afford only one paper,
let that be the home prayer; for it con-
cerns a family more to know what is be-
ing done in its own country than it does
to know the news of distant places. The
city paper cannot give, and does not pre-
tend to give, the local news that its coun-
try readers must have; biit the good coun-
‘try paper does give a very fair epitome of
the world’s news.
No other publication can supply the
place Of a good local paper. If both can-
not be retaincd——if either the city journal
or country newspaper must go, let it be
the former; for nothing can supply the
place of the local paper.—Printers' Circu—
for.

A Startling Sensation.
—S. D. Smith, Train Master on the New
York Third Ave. Elevated Railroad, liv-
ing at 130 East 123rd street, New York,
writes us; “To say that the feelings, the
sensations I experienced, were startling,
expresses it mildly; but thanks to Paxine,
Iagain take some interest in my life. I
think I had about as bad a case of dys-
papsia as a man can have and exist. My
digestive apparatus seemed to have lost
all power to act, and the many highly
recommended remedies with which I
dosed myself did not aid it. Paxine has
proved a wonderful remedy in my case,
and I feel confident that 'it has
completely restored my health."

Letter from Turkey.
Constantinople, Turkey,
Nov. 21, 1887.
DEAR GAza'rrn: Ever since the welcome
return of-Dr. and Mrs. Bliss to their mis-
sionary home, I have been wishing I had
time to write you, I llnd time now be-
cause of a. hard cold which has kept me
at home for three days, but. is'now relax-
ing. I havejust finished an cdiloriul, and
will keep on writing when in the spirit of
it.
Our associates I'CllclIt-(l us Oct. 27, only
19 days from New York to the banks of
the Bosphorus. They came by the
Oriental express, and rested five days at
different points on tile way, which reduces
their travelling time to just two weeks.
This is quick time, but we hope it will be
possible to beat it after a few months.
The railroad connecting our city with
Vienna, and with all the main lines of the
continent, is all completed save a stretch
of less than 40 miles between Sophia and
‘saribrod in Bulgaria, and this is so far
advanced that the Bulgarian Government
officially announces its opening by the
first of March next
Five (lays after the arrival of Dr. and
Mrs. Bliss, a reception was held in their
honor at the “Home” School. Dr. Bliss
is the senior member of our mission, and
greatly beloved. His modesty, however,
led him to doubt the wisdom of his return,
lest by reason of his advanced years, he
should be more of a burden than a help.
We did not wish him or his good wife to
be in doubt as to our sentiments on this
point, and hence we came together to
show.
Biit my chlef reason for writing you is
to convey, through you, the thanks of
Mrs. Barnum and myself to the good
people of the Norwalk church, for treat-
ing our aged associates so royally. They
declare that in no place in America were
they so taken to the hearts of people and
made to feel so sure that it was a delight
to their friends to entertain them. “Why,”
says Mrs. Bliss, “the sisters Were not con-
tent with kissing me, they’liugged inc."
Both she and her husband thought us
very happy in being connected with such
a fine church, which we were very ready
to admit. And we were proud that our
friends inlNorwalk had so soon perceived
what a uobleponple these old missionaries
are.
Dr. Bliss is not connected, as you say,
with “the Theological College of Constan-
tinople,” for there is no such institution,
but is one of the four members of our
publishing department, whose work it is
to supply periodicals and religious and
school books to all our missions in Asiatic
Turkey. He at one time was our mis-
sionary editor, though Dr. Greene was
my immediate‘i predecessor. And .may I
here take room to disclaim part of the
credit which Dr. Bliss gave me. I do not
“ read the proofs of my paper in three
languages.” The paper does come out in
three editions, and I have all the trans-
lations read to me, but I leave the proof
reading to the translators. It would be
impossible for me to do it, as I have en-
larged the weekly 50 per cent. since I be-
came editor, and I have also taken charge
of the monthly child’s paper, which my
predecessors did not have. The papers
are printed in the Armenian language in
the Turkish language in Armenian char-
actor, and in the Turkish language in
Greek characters. (Those among both
the Armenians and the Greeks who have
lost their own language and speak only
Turkish, still cling to their national char-
acters.) But two translations are needed,
as the Greek typcscttcrs know also the
Armenian characters. And perhaps it
would interest some of the compositors of
your office to see how rapidly some of our
men can set up a “stick" in either one of
three, different. characters. In the same
room work is now being done every day,
either for us or for the Bible Society, in
five different alphabets. Perhaps some
day I may give you a general idea of the
Press of Constantinople.
An incident of personal interest to me
occurred on the day of the Bliss reception.
Four American lady travellers, who had
journeyed with them from Vienna, were
invited to be present, and I happened to
cross the Bosphorus in the same steamer
with them. I ventured to introduce my-
self to one of them, and while conversing
with her, chanced to mention the name of
africnd formerly living on the Hudson.
This led one of her companions to look up
and say that that was her own maiden
name, but that her relatives of the name
lived near Bridgeport, Conn. When I
said tliatI was froni Stratford, the next
town to Bridgeport, she clasped her hands
in astonishment. I looked at her more
closely, and recognized her as one whom
I had known in my boyhood as Miss Ster—
ling. It had probably been more than 30
years since I had seen her. Her brother,
the able junior member of the New York
law firm of Sliearnian & Stirling, has just
put up the finest residence in Stratford for
his mother and his younger sisters who
are with her. “I shall write to our old
teacher, Mr. Scdgwick," said the lady I
met, “to tell him that two of his pupils
met on a little steamboat crossing frOm
Europe to Asia."
As I write these words our turkey
speaks up to remind me that Thanksgiv-
ing is but three days off. We feel that
we have much to be grateful for, but
should regard it an additional mercy if
we might Welcome some Norwalk friends
to our feast. The smell of Long Island
Sound upon their garments would be
sweeter to us than that of a royal garden.
