EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, March 5, 1888.
DEAR Gunm,-—The Democrats in both
Houses of Congress made “big records"
last week. The fight has now begun, and
if the Nation’s voters are not duly im-
pressed they will be later on. In the
Senate the dependent pension bill dis-
cussion had about the same effect as wav-
ing the red blanket in face of an irate bull.
Senators Beck, West and Blackburn, each
one of whom assumes betimes the leader-
ship on the Democratic side, lost their
tempers and let out much of their old
time disloyalty. West practically charged
the bill to be the offspring of the Grand
Army of the Republic, “an organized
lobby power” to wring from Congress
more money in the way of undeserved
pensions. Waxing hot, said he “do Sena-
tors ou the other side realize that we
have already paid out in pensions, a total
of eight hundred millions of dollars?"
Senator Teller jumped to his feet and
replied, “does the Senator from Misiouri
know what this Nation paid to put down
the causcless and iniquitous rebellion,
which he and others on that side aided to
the extent of their ability? There was
paid,” said Mr. Teller, “more than ten
thousand millions of dollars, to say nothing
of the suffering and death, the contribu—
tions of States and individuals, and the
withdrawal from productive industries of
over two millions of men. The money
this wicked rebellion cost would pay for
every mile of railroad, equip it, and build
stations, pay for every church and school-
house in the entire union, with millions
lcf ."
Senator Beck naturally ran off from de—
nouncing the Pensions Bill to the advo—
cacy of his free trade views. Gen Haw—
ley forced from him a tacit admission that
he deemed the British tariff system the
best in the world. Blackburn, of course,
could not forget or forgive any man for
having been a Union soldier, and of course
was as bitter in his denunciations of the
pension act as any one of his indiscrcet
colleagues.
In the House. when the new tarifl bill
was first delivered to the Republican
members of the Ways and Means Com~
mittee by Chairman Mills, there was the
greatest curiosity to learn when and where
their Democratic members had formulated
such an iniquitous and absurd bill. It
transpired that the Democratic majority
of that committee had abandoned their
committee room at the capitol and secured
aprivatc room at the Treasury depart-
ment. There, aided by Mr. Cleveland’s
Secretary of the Treasury, this trouble—
some and fated child “conceived in sin
and brought forth in iniquity," first saw
the light of (lay. Of course every Re—
publican member of the Committee, hav-
ing been thus disconrtcously excluded
from all knowledge of or consideration of
the subject, will naturally use their best
endeavours for its slaughter. A blind
man might see that if the provisions of the
bill wore carried out it would prove the
utter ruin of nearly every commodity of
manufacture it- strikcs at. The inquiry
naturally arises why was so radical a cut
down in duties on American manufactures
attempted? Chairman Mills, who is not
avery great man, though affected with
the disease known as “greathead,” be—
lieves that the Nation can get rid of its
surplus by this reduction, whereas it has
been shown over and over again by ex-
parlance. that the surest way to increase
customs revenues, is to put tluivu‘uuu'ca
so low that importations are increased.
Senator Plait, from a hasty examination of
the prepared reductions. is confident that
it would not only close up many Connec
ticut factories now struggling to pay dc—
cent American wages, but it would in-
crease the revenues beyond our present
totals from Customs duties, and so that
while our surplus in the Treasury would
be increased thereby, our aid to foreign
manufactures would destroy our own,
and take bread from our own countrymen.
But such abill can never pass. It only
illustrates the vicious kicks of the mulc at
the old darkey without hitting him. “It
only shows de disposition of de beast,”
said he.
an. RANDALL HAS A BILL.
Mr. Randall, it is under-stood, has a
measure of his own with which he will
antagonize this. The Ohio men on the
Democratic side are reluctant to express
themselves, though they in a general way
deprecate the wool clause. Some of them
will fight the bill as long as that clause is
in it.
The Louisiana men will fight it because
it hits sugar, and North Carolina and
Georgia men because it cuts rice,and New
Jersey because it deals :1 death blow to
its new crockery interest. And so it will
go. Every Democratic free trader in
Congress from Beck down, is ready to
vote absolute free on every article in which
his own State is not specially interested.
On all such articles as their own States
are interested, they want the tariff put up.
APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT.
It is said that “the bill receives the un-
qualified approval of Mr. Cleveland and of
the Secretary of the Treasury,” which is
undoubtedly true, although in justice to
the President. it sliduld be said he pro-
bably knows no more about the vital ques-
tions of tariff and revenue reform, than
(lid brave Gen. Hancock, who stated it to
be “a local issue,” something like a neigh-
borhood malady of measles or scarlet rash.
But the battle on the subject is destined
to be hot and desperate from now on to
the end of the session.
Senator Plumb, in response to Senator
Beck’s free trade harangue, exposed the
inconsistency of the Democratic senators
by recalling their records in favor of pro-
tectin;r by legislation the interests of their
own States, either by internal or tariff
taxes. He instanced the whisky mono-
poly, the sugar trust, and the protected
rice interests as creatures particularly of
their votes and their efforts. The Demo—
crats are receiving a good deal of infor-
mation concerning themselves that will
interest th: voters from this time on to
November.
napannaur PARENTS' PENSIONS.
The House Committee on invalid pen—
sions Saturday authorized a favorable re—
port on Mr. Weber’s bill relating to the
claims for pensions by dependent parents.
It proves that in considering such claims,
it having been shown after the soldier’s
death that he was entitled to a pension
and that he left no widow or minor child-
ren, it shall be necessary only to show by
competent and sufllcieut evidence that
such parent or parents are without pre-
sent meaus of support than their own
manual labor or the contributions of others
not legally bound for their support.
To my Dltl'NKARDS' rsxsmxs 'ro 'rimm

The House Committee on invalid pen-
sions inn authorized a favorable report
011 Mr. Matson’s bill to provide that'thc
pension money of any pensioner who is in
the habit of becoming intoxicated. and,
Who neglects to support those lawfully
dependent on him, shall be paid to the
wife of such pensioner, if she be a proper
person to receive it, or to a legally consti-
tuted and qualified guardian.
xinxnannx.
Representative McAdoo, of New Jersey,
was before the House Committee on the
merchant marine and fisheries Saturday,
in behalf of the bill to prohibit fishing for
menhaden’ within three miles of the At-
lantic coast. Chairman Dunn has decided,
for the present, to withhold his report on
the bill until this commission shall be able
. to report.
roon ADULTERATION.
F. A. Bartram, of Bridgeport, has been
before the House Committee on Agricul-
lure, on the special matter of the adulter—
ations in lard. He said he made nothing
but “kettle lard,” but the sale of adulter-
ated lards made of cotton seed and other
oils, fat and tallow and then heavily
charged with water, had proved ruinous
to the honest lard trade.
LOCAL INTERESTS.
On Thursday Senator Platt presented to
the Senate, a long petition from the work-
ing batters of South Norwalk, as follows:
Ihave received certain resolutions of
the Hat Makers’ and Finishers’ Associa—
tion of Connecticut, which, while they
are addressed to the Senators from Con-
necticut, seem to me resolutions which
should properly be addressed to the Sen-
ate. They are protesting against any re—
duction of the duty upon manufactured
hats, whether wholly or partially manu-
factured, and asking that the duty be in-
creased. Thcy are workmen who are en—
gaged in the manufacture of hats. I ask
that the resolutions may be received and
referred to the committee on finance.
This petition was reinforced by the
Mills bill reducing tariff duties on hats.
But great is Democratic reform.
Senator E. J. Hill returned here again
last week to press an appropriation for
deepening Wilson Point harbor. This is
aworthy project, and it is a pity those
interested did not know the methods nec-
essary to secure such an appropriation.
SenatorPlatt has applied for a special sur-
vey to be made by the engineer depart?
ment, without which Congress will take
no action. But as the session is now half
through, it is doubtful if the survey can
be made in time to get it into the river
and harbor bill this session.
The committee on public buildings re-
ported favorably $150,000 for a public
building at Bridgeport. Of course it met
with Democratic opposition. As Judge
Granger was absent sick, Congressman
Vance made a gallant fight for the full
amount, but the “objectors” of his party
were too much for him and it was cut
down to $100,000. Senator Platt will get
it put back in the Senate, and it is to be
hoped the Democratic opposition to the
needful amount may be overcome.
The following are the national banks in
Connecticut which have been made depos.

Senator Platt’s prohibition bill for the
District of Columbia, was defeated by the
Senate District Committee on Saturday.
The committee prefer local option and a
high license system as securing better re-
sults in the way of a suppression of the
traffic.
POSTAL REFORM (f)
SeuatorPaJdock addressed the Senate
Thursday on the outrageous condition of
the postal service at the west. He de-
nounced the management, of the post
office department for the past three years
as the most wretched and conspicuous
failure of the present administration.
xion'r sassrons. ,
The House held its first night session for
consideration of pension cases, last Friday.
The Democrats hope to get enough cases
approved by President Cleveland, this
session, to ’take the edge off his last years'
vetoes. It is surprising how clever the
nearness of election makes the President’s
supporters.
_ . PERSONALS.
Presldcut mew D. White (gave a leg.
ture here last week to the Columbia col-
lege boys, in which he entreated them to
shun tobacco in all its forms, but to, in no
event, get addicted to cigarette smoking.
His experience was that the opium or
other drugs in cigarettes destroyed the
brain force of every boy addicted to the
habit.
Dr. Emily Pardee and Mr. and Mrs.
David Disbrow are visiting Mrs. Pardee's
sister here, Mrs. Ruth D. Havens. They
expect to leave for home to-day or to-
morrow.
U. S. Treasurer Hyatt went over to
New York last week for a day or so to see
to the counting of the money in U..S.
Treasury there. He “put up" at Charley
DeKlyn's Gedney House and was of course
well cared for. Ills little son went on up
to Norwalk. .
Hon. David M. Read, Civilian Fones
and Friend W. Smith, of Bridgeport, were
here last week, looking after that city’s
hoped for public building, and they will
get if.
Judge Granger had to leave for home
last week on account of illness. He was
threatened with pneumonia.
Druggist Vogel and son are still enjoy-
ing the sights and scenes in Washington.
Our weather here has not been of the best
the past winter, but so far ahead of New
England that the doctor says he will never
try to pass another winter in Norwalk.
Cashier Woodworth and Capt. Hubbcll
(the latter a 17th Ct. Vol. soldier) expect
to leave Westport soon for a visit here.

According to a correspondent of the
Albany T1'mea(Dem.) “no true Democrat
can be a free trader." Now let this-cor—
respondent procccd to demonstrate that
“no true negro can be a black man.”
Mr. Cleveland will of course be re-
uominated for the Presidential office, hav-
ing made the highest bid by his anti-Pro
tection message, and it will be strange if
he is not politically “laid out” next No—
vemberin a shroud which American in—

A Yb'fbune subscriber thus described a
beui htcd village in the far Northwest:
“Ha f the people of this uncivilized com
munity won’t read, and the other half
can’t. There are but two newspapers
taken in the whole town, and of course.
therefore, we believe in moon witches,
whiskey and the Democratic party. The
prominent characteristics of the inhabi-
tants are shiftlessncss and idleness, and
the only animals that thrive are dogs.
The settlement is appropriately named
WhiskyFlat.”
It is very evident that William H. Bar-
num is not dead in love with Grover

DIM.
The late Mrs. Stephen Smith was one of
the oldest residents of Norwalk, and died
the Senior Communicant of St. Paul’s
parish. She was born near the close of
the last century, and in the ending days
of the Rev. George ()gilvie’s rcclorship,
and lived during the completed incum-
bencies of eight of the Rev. Mr. Ogilvie's
successors, viz., Dr. Smith, Mr. Whillock,
Dr. Judd, Dr. Sherwood, Dr. Kempcr,
Mr. Richmond, Dr. Mead and that of the
latter’s immediate successor. She formed
one of aclass of twanty one which on
Nov. 16th, 1831 was presented to Bishop
Brownell for Confirmation, among the
members of which class were such well
knownchildren of the church as the late
Mrs. Francis Skiddy, of New York, and
Dr. Rousseau, of the old Albany county
family of that name. and Harriet. daughter
of Hon. Thadeus Betts, dec.. and the
present Mrs. George Lockwood, of New
Rochelle, and Mrs. James A. Hoyt, and
Mrs. Rachel Banks, of Norwalk. . Only
four of that class, it is believed, survive,
viz., the three aforesaid, and the vener-
able Ezra Hawley, of Westport, who to
this day walks in on Sunday morning to
St. Paul’s. The name of the deceased
occurs among two hundred and twenty-
five other names which make up the
earliest preserved register of the communi-
cants of St. Paul's; and now that she has
gone only a few of this number are
known to beliving, viz., the four previously
mentioned, and in addition to these Messrs.
Edward and Andrew Nash, and Mrs.
Lewis Partrick, of Westport, Mr. Marvin
Raymond, of Silver Mine, Mrs. Jonathan
Camp, the Misses Eliza and Margaret
Camp, Mrs. Edwin Hoyt, and Mrs. R. A.
Williams, of Norwalk. - .
Mrs. Smith has been a keeper at home,
and her house was madein the early days,
an inviting spot to children, kin, and the
clergy. The young sons, LeGrand and
Isaac there passed many pleasant hours
with their cousins Stephen Henry, Theo-
dore, and Asa, who were always wel-
comed by their fond aunt. The father-
and mother had a warm greeting for the
family relatives, and the hospitality. that

Judge and his wife died at sea, and

noon on thelast day of the winter recently
flown, the protracted pilgrimage was

husband some years before, from St.
Paul’s Church, a large number of relatives
and friends being present at the funeral,
and was committed by the rector of the
parish to the tomb, and interred in the
churchyard, an old friend of the family
pronouncing the final benediction.

in October,1820, and in early life cvinCcd a
preference for the profession of lawycr,but
eventually decided to take up the ministry.
He was educated in Wesleyan University,
and immediately after graduating be en-
tered the ministry in 1844, in which he
continued actively until about six years
' ago, when his health necessitated his with-
drawal from active labors. H e served
nearly three terms as Presiding Elder of
the New York East Conference. Hccame

years ago,aud resided here from that time
to the day of his death.

lugs looking to the advancement of the
town or community, and was a liberal
supporter of every move pertaining to the
welfare of the church.
He leaves a wife and two children, a
son and daughter, both grown up. He
was an active school visitor at the time of
his death, and in honor of his memory all
the public schools were closed on, the day

The forty-second annual statement of
the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
Company of this city is'prcsentcd else-
where iu this issue.
The,“Connecticut Mutual" is not only
the largest financial institution in the state
but also the largest in New England, and
its name‘has long been a by-word for fi-
nancial soundness. The figures show
that it enters 1888 stronger than ever be-
fore. The policy, which the management
has marked out- and maintained for it, has
made it distinct among the great mutual
companies of the country, and has drawn
to it a large constituency of careful insur-
ers who pin their faith alike to its thorough
conservativemss and its substantial and
enormous assets. It is now insuring 63,-
483 persons for about $151.000,000 and
has gross assets exceeding $56,000,000, '
while its surplus is $5,226,000 by its own
3 per cent. standard, which it voluntarily
adopted a few years ago as a furthnr safe-
guard against any possible decline in the
rate of interest in the future. The ratio
of expense of management to receipts last
year was only 9.23 per cent., which is
another evidence of the conservatism with
which it is conducted. This :statement
has‘direct interest_for the 04,000 persons,
more or less, who are insured, and the
320,000 or more who depend on the insur-
ance that the company provides. The
members of the Connecticut Mutual, and
that means the insured, and indeed all who
take pride in the success of Connecticut
institutions, cannot but feel satisfaction in
its conditiori and conduct.

Shipping Milk to New York.
Editor Bolles of the New Milford Gazette
has interviewed Vice-l’igmlcut Stevenson
of the Housatonic road relating to the
shipment of milk via Wilson Point and
Mr. Stevenson demonstrated to him that
sending by way of the 'New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad would not do
away with delays in the delivery of milk,
as has been fondly believed. Even if the
milk went by the latter route, it would
still have to go by water frmn Harlem to
pier fifty, a distance of seven miles through
the lower part of the East river, where
navigation in a fog is difficult, because of
the narrow passage and the many crafts
that there move up and down and across.
By both routes. viu Wilson's Point and
via the New York, New llaven & IIart-
ford road, boats must be employed, and
it iuakcs no difference whether the run of
seven miles is made on a boat from Wilu
son’s Point to Pier 49, or on boat from
Harlem to Pier 50. As for the passage
through the sound where there is plenty
of sea room it is claimed that the boat can
be pushed forward in spite of a thick fog.
Mr. Stevenson also made it plain bymeans
of a map showing the relative number of
cans of milk taken at various points in the
city, that only a few cans were delivered
in the vicinity of Harlem, where the popu-
latiou is comparatively sparse. while in
the lower part of the city, when: the popu-
lation is dense, and where hotels and
restaurants are thick, many cans are de—
livcred, as might naturally be expected.
The lower part of the city, where the milk
is most in demand, is where the largest
supply must go, and shipments from this
valley can only reach that‘part of the city
by boat in any event. Mr. Stevenson also
declared that shipments of milk had come
into New York slow and late by all routes
during the recent storms, and'that the ex-
perience of those who semi milk from the
Housatonie and Shepaug valleys, was not
so peculiar and unusual as has been sup-
posed by the latter.

NATURAL REFRESHING SLEEP.
LEEPLESSNESS, with restless and
wakeful nights, followed byaweak,
tired, and exhausted feeling 011 arising in
the morning, are sure forerunners of phys-
ical prostration and complete nervous ex-
haustion, ending in insanity. Thousands
allow themselves to drift toward the aw-
ful verge of insanity, without knowing
that the feelings and sensations which
they experience day by day are fast hura
rying them on to utter mental collapse
and absolute prostration of nerve power.
Save yourself from these terrible results
while there is yet time, by the use of that
wonderful nerve restorer, Dr. Greene’s
Nervura Nerve Tonic, which is a purely
vegetable remedy, and perfectly harmless.
It may be given to children or the most
delicate invalid without fear. It soothes,
calms,‘ and quiets the weakened, irritated,
and over-excited nerves, producing per-
fectreposc and refreshing natural sleep;
at the same time it imparts renewed life,
strength, vitality, and vigor to the nervous
system, and restores the physical energies
and powers to perfect health and strength.
I have been troubled for the past ten
years with what the doctors call nervous
debility and disturbed sleep or wakeful-
ness at night, I took Dr. Greene’s Nervu-
ra Nerve Tonic, and the results are most
gratifying. I am sleeping us quietly as an
infant, and feel that I leave a new lease of
life. For nervousness and sleeplessness I
never found anything like it.
