EDITORIAL LETTER.
. WAerrno'roN, Feb. 27, 1888.
DEAR GAZETTE :—The House adjourned
over Washington’s birthday, but the Sea—
ate held a session for the purpose of hear.
ing Acting Vice President Ingails read
Washington’s farewell address. Mr. In-
galls’ elocution is far ahead of any Senator
in that body and his reading of that won—
derful composition was simply grand. He
was just fifty minutes and every word and
syllable was distinctly enunciated and the
emphasis clear and appropriate in every
instance. When he came to that clause
where Washington admonishes his coun-
trymen to flee all sectional hates and jeal—
ousies and adjures them to exterminate
and cxtirpate every and all ideas and
tendencies towards a dissolution of the
Union, the reader’s tone and emphasis was
such as to bind every Senator, apparently,
in a spell of pathos, We have never in
ourforty years experience here witnessed
an occasion in the Senate, even when de-
voted to eulogies on some departed mem-
ber, when such unbroken stillness, and
gravity, and deep feeling seemed to per-
vade that body. One southern Senator,
who took a prominent part in the armed
rebellion on the disunion side, was visibly
affected and seen to wipe . the tears from
his eyes. A more salutary observance of
Washington‘s birthday could scarce have
been conceived.
The Democratic. National Committee
were in sespipij :iat’Willard's Hotel, as a
sort of side show, on the 22d. The day
was one of the love liest of the entire win
ter,{as balmy as may and as sunny as June.
The President fled the city and went to
Florida, but whether it was because he
knew Chairman William H. Barnum was
here and going to marshall his “offensive
partisans" on that natal day of the Father
of his Country, cannot positively be
stated, but then it looked wonderfullylike
it. This committee did up its work
promptly. A tempting bid was made by
a zealous committee from San Francisco,
who promised to defray every expense of
the convention, if it were held there be-
side the Golden Gate; to furnish free
tickets and entertainment for every dele-
gate and alternate, and a round trip ticket
across the continent to every outsider for
350. But the President was consulted
and found to favor St. Louis and so that
ended the strife. So St. Louis is to be
the city and June 5th the date, when
Grover is to be booked for a second race
and for defeat. '
ma TREATY.
The Canadian Treaty seems to be con-
demned by every one who has taken pains
to inform himself as to the rights of
the two parties involved, notwithstanding
that Premier Bayard is in ocstacies over it
and the President sent a laudatory mes-
sage in its behalf to the Senate, when sub-
mitting it to that body for approval. Sena—
tor Frye pronounces it an absolute and
abject surrender of every American right
involved, while Representative Hitt, long
in our diplomatic service and of the bestin-
formed of all our brightest statesmen on
this subject, pronounces it a disgraceful
surrender of American rights and privi-
leges. It will rlever be ratified by the
Senate.
Panama's.
Senator Manderson, on Friday, made a
vigorous and effective presentation of the
“Dependent Pension Bill," as it is called,
and it has a very encouraging prospect of
passing. It is not a service pension, but a
dependent pension bill. It has 'been very
carefully prepared and revised by some of
the ablest lawyers of the country and is
backed by the earnest approval and power
ful support of the nation’s Grand Army of
the Republic. It is well known that the
' Democrats disapprove and even hate the
measure, but it is thought they will not
dare defeat so wise, just and patriotic a
measure. It gives a moderate pension to
every honorably discharged soldier who
rendered faithful service in the army for
the saving of the Union and who is now
destitute, unless such destitutiou be the re-
sult of his own misconduct. In view of Mr.
Cleveland’s newly developed desire to
again run for the Presidency, it is believed
that he will sign the bill, this time, if pass-
ed by both houses of Congress, and not
veto it as before. This is to be hoped, as
it will take out of the poor houses all over
the land thousands of ,wortlly veterans
and patriots, but for whose service in fight-
ing armed traitors, we should have no na-
tion or overflowing treasury from which
to dole out to them a meagre support dur-
ing the few remaining years of their en-
feebled lives.
The House pension committee has also
unanimously agreed upon a bill granting
pensions to persons who were prisoners of
war (lilting the rebellion.
TIIE KOREANS.
The latest and most unique and inter-
esting diplomatic visitors our nation has
received In recent years. is the “Korean"
embassy. They were interested auditors
in the Senate on Washington’s Birthday
and to the reading of his farewell address.
A few evenings since they were guests at
the house of Rev. Dr. Childs, from whom
. we get the following interesting facts con-
cerning them :
The Korean embassy (in our school da; s
it was spelled Corean) after a temporary
stay at the Arlington, has taken fixed
quarters at 15 130 st., N. W., and the
queer flag of the “Hermit Nation" floats
over the embassy. The minister, Pak
Cllllug Yang. is an elderly, pleasant—faced
man, not without shrewdness and force of
character. He has two secretaries and
two interpreters, with several other at-
taches, all Koreans. Dr. H. N. Allen, the
foreign secretary of the icgation. went
from this country a few years since as a
medical missionary to China. Circum-
stancesturned him lo Korea, where his
medical skill brought him into connection
with the royal~family, and has resulted in
his present important relation to the gov—
ernment. Korea has been supposed to be
a province of China, and it would have
pleased the Chinese embassy here to take
the new comers under their wing as a part
of their retinue, but the Koreans stood on
their dignity and claimed, and have ob-
tained full recognition as an independent
power. They have been a prominent fea-
ture in public and social life since they
came. There isa good deal of interest
to locate them in race. Though so near
China and Japan, they are quite different
from either llle Chinese or Japanese. In—
deed they seem more like the best races
of our American Indians than either.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Bridgeport having received a favorable
report from the committee of the House,
on her application for a $150,000 public
building, is quite likely to get it, unless
swamped and defeated by the overucager-
ness of other ambitious Connecticut towns
rushing in en mmzse to secure the same
governmental decoration. Ell-Speaker
Tibbitts has been here ”doing his level
best" for “sleepy New London,” and
seems hopeful of success. But now comes
Daubury. Waterbury, Meriden, our bor-
ough, with South Norwalk and Stamford
standing back ill the chronic condition of
Barkis, with Barkhamstcd yet to be
heard from, and it all makes the enter-
prise bewildering aud embarrassing to our
Congressional delegation. Senator E. J.
Hill, while here, obeyed the instructions
of his home government with a zeal de-
serving of success, and harnessed in the
cheerful co-operation of Treasurer Hyatt
Congress, however, reveres precedents,
and Norwalk's claim to an appropriation
can at least be firmly established as a'
-“precedcnt.”
POSTAL.
Members of the Senate and House of
both parties have denounced our present -
wretched postal system. or lack of sys-
tem, with unmeasured severity. Senators
Beck, Morgan and Butler, all Democrats,
have denounced it as the worst that ever
existed. Last week Senator Morgan had
a lot of public documents he had franked
to constituents in Alabama returned to
him “for non-payment of postage." A
committee to investigate this deplorable
and vexatious condition of our postal sys-
tem has been ordered by the House. It
the truth is ever given out to the public, it
is confidently asserted that the cause of all
the trouble will be found in the fact that
in no other branch of the public service
has there been crowded such multitudes
of incompetent, dissipated and drunken
men, young and totally inexperienced and
unfit boys, as in the post offices and on
the postal routes of the country, and these
taking the place of the former thoroughly.
experienced postal oflicials. The condi—
tion of things in this department has be-
come unbearable. As samples in point.
The receipt of letters and parcels received
at the dead letter ofilce now is more than
double that received at any time during
any Republican administration in the past
quarter of a century, proving the lack of
intelligent sending or effort at finding par-
ties addresed by the present postal ofilciais.
There is no certainty of promptpr even
of any ultimate delivery of letters, but
public documents, newspapers and other
printed matter fare still worse. Many
Congressmen now regularly register all
their valuable public documents, sent
through the mails, and some in addition
attach a special delivery stamp, while
many more to ensure their delivery send
them by express. Another and a personal
experience is as follows: 'The Bridgeport
daily Standard mailed at. Bridgeport any
given evening, is frequently received‘here
by the next day's noon mail, hilt more
often two or three or more days will elapse,
when a batch‘ of them turn up. On the
other hand, the South Norwalk daily Sen-
tinel, presumably mailed on the same train
bringing the Standard, has never in a sin—
gle instance reached here before it is two
days old. . Week before last we received
two copies only of the Sentinel, and the
past week but three copies. Yet we doubt
not they are regularly mailed every even-
ing. The bundle of GAzE'r'rEs due here
every Wednesday, now comes Thursdays,
Fridays, or not at all. The‘ last week’s
issue reached its subscribers here Sunday.
The Record usually comes either Sundays
or Mondays. Week before last it astounded
all its readers here by arriving in Saturday’s
noon mail, and one week it didn’t come at
all. The South Norwalk Republican has
never yet missed reaching Washington on
Su'nday. The daily New York Sun gets
here in each day's noon mail. The Press,
coming from New York in the same mail
usually reaches here the same day, yet fre-
quently it is two or three days behind, or
is not delivered at all. On the other hand,
the New York Evening Sun, sent outside
the mail, is in the hands of Washington
newsboys at eight o'clock on the same
evenings of issue, while if sent over in
the mail, it doesn’t get delivered till the
next day p. m. Brit great is modern
Democratic "reform," and in this terrible
postal demoralizatiou the masses of the
people have a chance to see and appreci
ate and sample its quality.
TEMPEBANCE
The annual meeting of the Congressional
Temperance Society, organized years ago
by Henry Wilson, Schuyler Colfax and
others, was held Sunday evening.
Senator Platt‘s bill to secure total prohi-
bition in this district, is to be considered
by the Senate committee Saturday.
As a fact, illustrating Washington sobri-
ety, it was remarked by one who rode
along the lines of streets through which
the local soldiery and firemen paraded on
Washington's Birthday, that among not
less than thirty thousand people lining the
streets to see the pageant, not a single in-
toxicated person was visible. Even Nor-
walk could not make a better record than
that.
MARRIAGE BELLS.
The gossip is current and believed in
high official circles that Secretary of State
Bayard is soon to lead as a blushing bride
to the marriage altar Mrs. Folsom, mother
of Mrs. Cleveland, and that little circum-
stance is held to account for that estima-
ble lady breasting the discomforts and perils
of a mid-winter’s voyage across the Atlan-
tic, in order that there might be 'no delay
or mistake in having the wedding trousseau
completed by the great Parisian man man-
tuamaker, ill season.
A further bit of kindred gossip, excit-
ing and delighting official high life, is to
the effect that Sir Joseph Chamberlain,
though he may not have been able to cap-
ture the American Senate and people on
his ingeniously wrought Canadian treaty,
has succeeded in capturing a portion of
the admistration in winning the heart and
hand of Miss Eudicott, daughter of the
grim Secretary of War, and that he will
carry his bride home to England with him
the coming spring.

Death of Hon. John D. Condos.
The Hon. John D. Candee, editor of the
Bridgeport Standard, died at his residence
in Bridgeport Monday night, after along
and painful illness. The immediate cause
of his death was fatty degeneration of the
heart. ‘ _ —
Mr. Candee was 68 years of age, and
had lived in Bridgeport many years, com-
ing there from New Haven, where he had
been a lawyer and a prominent worker for
the city’s good, and where he had held
a number of offices of trust. 011 coming
to Bridgeport he bought an interest in the
Standard, and subsequently bet ame pres-
ident of the Standard Association and
editor-in-chief, serving as such up to the
time of his last sickness. He had served
as a member of the Common Council and
Board of Education, and in 1882 was nom-
inated for Lieutenant Governor, on the re-
publican ticket headed by W. HiBulkeley,
which was defeated. He had done much
for the advancement of Bridgeport socially
and otherwise,and was largely instrumental
in securing the excellent public [library to
the city, and was president of the library
association, and also a trustee of the Con-
necticut Literary Institute _at Suflleld.
He was apromineut and active member
of the First Baptist Church of Bridgeport,
and contributed much in money and ser-
vice toward its support.
Mr. Candee was a zealous and uncom-
promising Republican, and wielded a
powerful influence in the councils of his
party, to whom his death will be a severe
blow. In his demise an honest. upright
citizen. a faithful and valuable friend, and
a true Christian has gone to his reward.
He leaves a wife, daughter of the Rev.
Mr. Smith, who was the author of the .
hymn “America,” and two daughters.

A report of ‘hc enumeration will be
made to the school fund department
about February 29. On the last day
of the month the appointment is gene
rally made by: the commissioner.
Last year the pcr capita allowance was
Seventy-five cents. This did not exhaust
the full amount of money in the hands of
the department, a small balance being left
for the current year. It is probable that
seventy-five cents will be the allowance
this year, the unexpected balance from
last year with the slight increase in income
from the fund enabling the commissioners
to meet the additional demand because of
the increase in the enumeration.

. I sing of Timothy Dwight,
That many headed man;
Who first appeared upon these shores
When Dedham town began.
He trod the Dedham wilds
A stirring boy of live,
But did his part before he died,
To stock the family hive.
With at). most worthy wives,
And fourteen children dear,
He gave the world a Vigorous start,
That reaches down to here.
And next came Tlmothy Dwight,
0f old Northampton town,
A man of weight In church and state,
And a colonel of renown.
Then Major Tlmothy Dwight,’ ,
0f stalwart strength and size,
. And little Mary Edwards
Was precious In his eyes.
A rare and charming maiden,
Bright-eyed and quick and keen.
Actress-armed lover won her ‘
When a damsel of sixteen.
Of her thirteen sons and daughters
The first was Tlmothy Dwight,
Who left along his earthy way,
A truck of living lIght.
In Fairfield’s pleasant township,
0n Greenfield’ssfately hill,
The fair faced young divine sat down,
Bis calling to fulfil.
Great visions rose before him
On that enchanted ground,
He saw old Canaan stretching far
Across Long Island sound.
He trIed his hand at conquest,
But still the point to dim,
Whether he conquered Canaan
- 0r Canaan conquered hlm.
From Greenfield's airy summit ,
He was summoned down to Yale,
And of his famous record there -
None needs to tell the tale. '
When thIs strong man was dying,
Bis earthly work all done,
There was within the college walls
His sister's youthful son.
A mild-faced gentle scholar,
With record pure and clean,
Trending Yale’s shady pathways,
A Freshman of fifteen.
Years passed and this young student,
To rlper teaming grown,
Sat In his uncle's honored seat,
The old Yaleuslan throne.
And still he lives in honor, _'

Restores the ancient order,
And makes the round complete.

Who to the Dedham youngster
Can surely trace their birth 7
How many Tlmothy Dwights,

Must here be left untold.

Have always been about.

Sufferers from nervous liability-complain of
physical and nervonsweakness and exhaustion;
there is prostration of the physical strength, a
tired feeling, with no inclination for exertion,
and the power to work is diminished;the pa-
tient wakes mornings tired and unrefreshed;
there is an extreme nervous and irritable con-
dition, a dull, cloudy sensation often accom-
panied by disagreeable feelings in the head
and eyes; the thoughts wander easily, think-
ing and study become difficult; even reading
fatigues the mind, making the person drowsy;
there will be gradual failing of strength, with
weakness and pain in the back; bad taste in the
month mornings, the vision becomes dim, the
memory impaired, and there is frequent diz-
ziness; often the patient is gloomy and des-
pondent, and the nerves become so weakened
after a time that the least excitement or shock
will flush the face, bring a tremor. or tremb-
ling, or palpitation of the heart.
For these symptoms, Dr. Greene’s Nervura
Nerve Tonic, the great strengthening and in-
vigorating remedy, is a sure and positive cure-
Under the use of this wonderful restorative,
which is purely vegetable, and therefore harm-
less, the dull eyes regain their brilliaucy, the
lines in the face disappear, the pale look and
hollow cheeks show renewed health and vitali-
ty, the weak and exhausted feelings give place
to strength and vigor; the brain becomes clear,
the nerves strong and steady, the gloom and
depression are lifted from the mind, and per-
fect and permanent health is restored. It is
an absolute and certain specific for nervous de-
bility. Young men with weakened nerves and
exhausted vitality can regain their strength by
its use. It restores lost energy, and invigor-
ates the weakened vital powers in old and
young. No one need despair of a cure. Use
Dr. Greene's Nervura Nerve Tonic. and an ab-
solutely certain care will result.

remedy has no equal.

Advice to Mothers.
—Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup, for
children teething,. is the prescription of
one of the best Lfemale nurses and phy-
sicians in the United States, and has been
used for forty years with never-failing
success by millions of mothers for their
children. During the process of teething
its value is incalculable. It relieves the
child from pain, cures dysentery and
diarhoea, griping in the bowels and wind-
colic. By giving health to the child
it rests the mother. Price 25 cents a
bottle. 1y52

Worry.
Worry is the cause of more trouble than
F. C. (Yule Alumni Association of Fair- ; “"3’ Ollie" one thing "0" excepting 91°01'01-
For it leads men to murder, suicide, em-
bezzlement, insanity, dl‘mk. family 95—
trangements, quarrels, and business diffi—
culties. Worried people cannot make
good bargains; their judgments become
so warped or twisted, through dwelling too
long on the same subject; with those
subjects they are no clearer at the end of
their thinking than they were at the be-
ginning. There are multitudes of deaths
every year attributed to regular specific
diseases as typhoid fever, dyspepsia, con—
sumption and heart disease which have
for their cause worry. Worry induces
such aeoudition of body that it readily
receives the germs of disease.
To one who was accustomed to worry
2. friend said, who avoided worry as much
as possible; “What would you do if you
stopped every time to consider the possi-
bilities of every act. I knew of a woman
who walked carefully across a smooth
carpeted floor; she fell, broke her hip
joint and died in a few days. I knew of .
a neighbor who ate his dinner, and fell
dead as he rose from the table. Another
went to sleep well, and never woke;
another rode out and was killed." Thus
instance afterinstance might be mentioned,
for every daily act, if we. had traveled, or
read mncll, or met many persons.
Occasionally we meet people who can
truly be called born fretters; they fret at
everything, and seven days and seven
nights scarcely give them time enough
during the Week to do all the worrying
they are capable of doing; as for any one
living with them, it is their worst punish-
ment that they have to endure themselves.
We daily meet faces that shows the re-
sults of worry; they are seamed, and
wrinkled, and full of lines. They should
be a warning to us.. If the time and
strength spent in worry could be used for
self-improvement and benefltting those
near us,‘there would be many changes in
every community.‘—Springfield, Mass,
