DEAR zesm :—Great surprise has
everywhere been expressed that Senator
Hale, of Maine, should have been the only
Republican senator who j0ihed the Demo-
crats, and thus defeated the effort to have
the Fisheries Treaty discussed in open
session. It is now said that he has re-
canted, and telegraphed over from New
York that he would vote with- his patty,
to have the debate public. *

The special sensation in the Senate last
week was the charges made by Senator
Stewart against President Cleveland’s nu
precedented and arrogant use, of the'veto
power. Stewart favors a law making
only a majority necessary to» pass a bill
over a veto. He said that in a little over
three years President Cleveland had vetoed .
172 bills and had refused to sign fifty.
The objection that many of them were in~
dividual pension bills was not a satisfac-
tory reason for the exercise of arbitrary
power against the deliberate judgment of
Congress. Washington had vetoed but
two bills, Lincoln but one, and Jeficrson
none. The government had changed from
Democratic simplicity to a one man power,
responsive only to the necessities of party
and the influence of money. The vast
resources of the government are practically
used by the administration as a private
fund to augment the power of the Execu-
tive. He desired to show the “almost un-
limited discretionary power exercised by
the Executive to benefit his friends and
destroy his enemies.” As an example he
would refer to the raid of the Attorney
General on the Bell Telephone Company.
The Senate has passed the Pension Ap-
propriation bill and the bill for the erection
of post-office buildings in towns and cities
where the post—office receipts for the three
years preceding have exceeded $3,000 an
nually. The bill creating a department of
agriculture, which includes the transferal
to its control of the signal service bureau
from the war department, has passed, as
well as another bill establishing a depart -
ment of labor. The latter bill provides for
a department of labor, the general design
and duties of which shall be to acquire and
diffuse among the people of the United
States useful information on the subjects
connected with labor in the most general
and comprehensive sense of that word,
and especially upon its relation to capital,
the hours of labor, the earnings of labor—
ing men and women, and the means of
promoting their material, social, intellect-
ual and moral prosperity.
The River and Harbor bill as amended
by the Senate increases the total appro~.
priation about a million. and now
the House is in a panic for fear the
amount appropriated is so large that the
President will veto it. and the whole
measure be lost.
Senator Blair has introduced a bill for
the proper observance of Sunday in all
places subject to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the Government.
The House bill appropriating $25,000
for a public building at Bar Harbor, Me,
has passed the Senate, as has also the bill
appropriating $75,000 for a public building
at New London.
HOUSE.
In the Horrse, general» debate on the
tariff ended Saturdayweek, with speeches
by Mr. Reed and Speaker Carlislc. ‘The
discussion has dragged itselfalong through
nearly a month, at times brilliant and in-
teresting, but for the most part dull and
heavy. More than 70 Congressmen have
delivered elaborate addresses on the sub—
ject, and millions of copies of their
speeches have been scattered over the
country. As the Tribune well says, of the
many excellent speeches made on the Re-
publican side, Mr. McKinley's has deserved
- ;. “1...... u.- ‘m-b...
1’31? asntthagr‘i'tlu‘fiilllfiggthfightlt‘aek upon the
Mills bill. It contained the clearest de-
monstration of the dishonesty of the pre-
text for tariff revision offered by the De-
mocratic leaders. that the duties on raw
material, and not those on manufactures,
will be lowered by the bill. It exposed
the sectional character of: the measure and
the hollowness of the pretence that the
farming classes will be benefitted by its
provisions. It condemned the restoration
of the ad valorem system of assessment
as a feature that would increase the
difficulties now experienced in the collec-
tion of revenues, and do incalculable in—
jury to honest importers .and merchants
by encouraging fraudulent invoices and
facilitating undervaluations. As a defence
of Protection, it was alike comprehensive,
precise and eloquent, and left no essential
phase of the present tariff controversy rin-
considered.
McKinley is one of the brightest and
most eloquent of the Republican States-
men of the nation, and if he lives, will
surely be “heard from” in the near future.
Mr. McComas, the only Republican
member of the House from Maryland,
when the appropriation for the Civil Ser-
vice Commission was nndcr consideration,
offered an amendment increasing its eleri
cal force. He called attention to the fact
that there had been no published report of
the commission since August, 1886. At
that time the Presrdent had confided civil
service reform to the jealous care of Con—
gress, brit now there was no better way
for a gentleman to earn the applause of
the other side than to throw up his hat
and cry, "To the victor belongs the spoils},
The President himself seemed to be so
much" concerned in other matters that un—
less the P-epriblicau party took care of
civil service reform, it would be wounded
unto death by the present administration.
He declared that in the whole century
there had never been such a clean sweep
of general officers as there had been under
Cleveland, and now this sweep was made
under the guise of the most coldssal hypOc-
risy that had ever disgraced the office of
Lord High Executioner. The President
was committing every day and week the
mortal sin of tinkering with the tariff to
the destruction of American labor and
American industry, and violating the civil
service laws. ,
Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois. asserted, and
commented on the assertion,that through-
out the Unitcd States Mr. Cleveland’s fed-
eral officeholders had captured Democratic
state conventions and elected delegates to
St. Louis, regardless of the wishes of the
people.
Representative Burnett, of Massachu—
setts, has introduced a bill providing that
upon the death of an invalid pensioner,
his widow or minor children shall be
placed upon the pension roll without re-
gard to the cause of death of such pen-
sioner. This bill lras many friends in
Congress, and it is hoped and believed
that it will be finally passed.
The Republican members or" the ways
and means committee have formally noti-
fied Chairman Mills that they cannot-
accept his proposition fora vote on- the
tariff bill without amendments. Mr. Mills
intends to force the immediate considera-
tion of his bill, and to that end the party
lash will be vigorously applied to hold his
fellow Democrats representing protective
districts, up tovhis free trade programme.
On the political tombstone of many a De—
mocratic Gangressman, may next year be
read: “Died of the Mills Tariff Bill," and
it is thought that Connecticut isle-great-
daiiger of possesging such mortuaryin--

The Hon. William Bethe], president of
the Board of Aldermen of Key West, Fla.,
and a very active and prominent Demo-
cratic politician of said state, is here, on a
special mission in the industrial interests
of Key West, and, in fact the whole state
of Florida. Mr. Bethel was the'bearer of
petitions toCdngress signed by‘n’earl'y‘One
.- tiiousand': citizens of the cityof Key we»,
, comprisingthe'moat prominentDemociatic
residents thereof, praying the Congress to
increase the tariffduty‘on stripped tobacco
or the Ttobacco leaf without stems to 5'5
cents per pound. This is demanded be-
cause cigar manufacturers are importing
stripped tobacco into the United States,
thus turning thousands of persons-Ameri-
can wage-earners—out of employment, as
American labor cannot compete and live
in competition with the pauper labor of
Cuba. Senator Wilkinson Call, also an
excellent Democrat, received the petitions
mentioned, and the petitioners await with
deep solicitirde the resultpf their prayers
for the relief referred to. ' '
A NATIONAL season.
A telegram from Fort Smith announces
that the business ,of the United States
courts at that place has been stopped, and
that all/the criminnl cases which ought to
have come before the May term have been
adjourned to August, because the s ro-
priation is insufficient to enable the ar-
shal to pay the fees of the necessary wit-
nesses.
Among the cases thus postponed are 35
murder cases. ‘
The jail is said to be frrll of prisoners,
many of whom have already been con-
‘flned there for months awaiting trial.-,
Meantime the Congress of the United
States is spending hours every day in ‘dis—
cussing what to do with the enormous,
surplus in the Treasury. .
Sn pose the representatives of the
peoplb turn their attention away from the
Mills bill'for a little while, and appropriate
just enough of this surplus to the Federal
courts to insure the prompt and orderly
administration of justice throughout the
Union. '
Such a state of things as is revealed by
this announcement from Arkansas, islittle
less than a national scandal. The Federal
Government is directly responsible, and
the facts ought to arouse a sufficient sense
of shame at least to bring about an imme-
diate change in the matter.
The above is clipped from an editorial
leader in the Democratic New York Sun.
This is only one of a great many similar
cases of loss and embarrassment caused
by the refusal of the Democrats in the last
Congress to appropriate the monies needed
and called for by the several departments
of the Government, and presided over by
their own party friends. It was part of a
trick .to cut down ‘all regular appropriation
bills so as to give an appearance of mor
rigid economy than was practiced by the
Republicans when in power, and thus
leave to ‘a subsequent passage of “urgency
deficiency bills” to make up the deficits.
This was the grand idea of Democratic
statesmanship, with which it ,was hoped
arid believed the American people could
be fooled.‘

What Are These Impurities I’ ‘
Tire report of the Ohio State Dairy and
Food Commission ' on baking powders
shows a large amount of residuum or im-
purity to exist in many of these articles.
.The figures given by the- Commission are
r
as follows ': '
Name. Impurities
or Bealduum.
Cleveland’s..... .........10.18 pr. ct.
Zipp‘s Crystal. ..... ..... .‘.11.99 *“

Tire 'qnestion naturally arises in the
minds of thoughtful consumers, of what
does this impurity or residuum consist?
In the case of the first named powder
there has been recently given the result of
an analysis made by Prof. C. F. Chandler,
of Columbia College, late member of- the
New York State Board of Health, which
partially supplies the missing information,
and as the manufacturers of this particular
powder are continrrously calling for the
publication of all 'the ingredients used in
baking powders, there can be no objection
to its statement here. Among the impur—
ities Prof. Chandler found Cleveland's
powder to contain a large amount of
Rochelle salts, 5.49 per cent. of lime, with
alumina,“starch and water, in quantities
not stated. Alrim is a substancedeelarcd
by the highest authorities to be hurtful.
If the balance of this residuum in all the
powders named is made _up largely of
alum, as it is ”known to be in some, the
public would like to know it. _ Another
official test that [shall 'go ‘quiet to the
bottom of the matter seems to be de-
manded. ‘

NORWALK’S SOLDIER DEAD.
Memorial Day Exes-crane": the Bgrouzh.
‘Thei’initial exercises in obserwrince Of
Memoriiil Day were in the shape of:a un-‘
ion service held in the Congregational
'church on Sunday evening, primarily for
the benefit of Buckingham Post, G. A. R.,
Buckingham Relief Corps and the Sons of
Veterans, who were especially invited.
Tire attendance of members of all the
church denominations however, was large.
The Rev. C. E. Torrey, of the Baptist
church preached a stirring sermon, ap-
propriate to the occasion, and the services
were participated in by other local clergy-
men.
The programme for today, as mapped
out by the committee, does not vary ma-
terially from that of previorrs years.
Buckingham Post, escorted by 001. Rob-
erts’ Cadets and the Mutual .Drrirn Corps,
will leave post headquarters at 2 p. m.,
proceeding to St. Paul’s cemetery, and
after decorating the soldiers' graves there,
thence to Norwalk cemetery where memo-
rial exercises will be held, consisting 'of
music and addresses by Rev. Messrs.Van-
Alstyne and Ross. The graves in St.
Mary’s cemetery will be visited and dec-
orated by a delegation of comrades ap-
pointed for that purpose.
Contributions have been solicited, with
good success, for the proper observance
of the day, but while'the exercises will be
appropriately carried out, it will be with
an eye to economy of funds, as a surplus
is desired for the work of enlarging and
beautifying the plot now owned by the
veterans in Riverside cemetery which it
is hoped can be done and a balance still
be left as a nucleus for a ’soldiers’ monu-
ment fund. , . 7
Contributions (if-flowers for the decora-
tion of soldiers’ graves should be brought
to the Post roorn this forerroon at. any
time after nine o'clock.
I. E. Blihopl. .
, Rev. Drs. Vincent, Fitzgerald,‘ Joyce
Newman and Goodsell, were ’ last week
elected Bishops of the P. M. E. Clirirelr.
Of the five, Drs. Newman and Goodsell, are
best known lrereabouts, and consequently
their selection awakens the greater local
interest. Dr. Newman Iras lectured in Nor-
walk, and has filled a large space in the
'public mind for years. He was Gen.
Grant’s and -Gen. Logan’s pastor, and
officiated at the funerals of both. His ob-
sequiorislyfulsom frrnerpl'oration ever the
dead son of Senator Stanford, the California
millionaire and philanthropist. for which he
is said to have received $10,000, will not
soon be forgotten.
Of the devout and grandly good citizen,
Rev. Dr. Goodsell, it may be said that the
people Of Norwalk, as indeed all whq ever
have known him, esteem him with an ardor
of admiration and affection amounting to
enduring love. He was born in Newburglr,
N. Y., and is 48 years of age, and has been a
member of the N. Y. East Conference about
thirty years. His father was the well-known
Rev. Buel Goodsell. Dr, Goodsell was
graduated by the University of the City of
New York. and his entire ministry has been
in New York and its vicinity. He was
pastor at different times of the Greenpoint
Tabernacle, the Washington street and the
New York avenue churches, of Brooklyn,
and Trinity and the First Methodist Church
of New Haven, South Norwalk, and Meri-
deri. He is now secretary of the Church
Educational society. The bishopric is a life
office, and congratulations sincere and fer-
vent :ire showered down upon him from all
quarters. ' ' - - V
The Meriden Republican gives him the
following well-merited compliment, with a
sly hit at the methods so universally attri-
brited to Rev. Dr. Newman : ‘
"Tire scholarly attainments, coriservniive,
and dignified bearing of Dr. Good-ell fully
qualify him for the exalted and responsible
position to which he has -just been called.
Tire signal distinction is all the more gratify-
ing to his friends here because it is the badge
of real merit, and was not the result of' log-
rolling of any kind, for Dr. 60011501] is not
the man wirpéwonld prilLflryfli-mg loan:
ions to her former resident and
pastor.” - ' ,
Norwalk also joins Meriden, New Haven
New York and all the world beside, in -
lieartiest congratulations to Irer once greatly
revered and esteemed citizen, pastor and
friend, and typical “man of God.”

The Capt. Lamb Estate.
Tire complications environing tlre' settle-
ment of the estate, of the late Capt. Henry
Lamb, ls anotlrermée in point. showing the
importanCe and' duty of every man in 1108-.
sesssion of property, however little, to make
while sound in body and mind, a will, Capt.
Lamb had been for. long years a highly
esteemed, respectable and respected citizen
of Norwalk. He was a man of unusually
generous and noble impulses. By patient
toil and prudent living, lie hadenrned a
moderate competence and reared a family of
children, consisting of two sons and four
daughters. His daughters all-survive him,
and are respected. energetic and thrifty wo-'
men, rneritiug and receiving the kindly sym-
pathy of everyone in their afflictions. 0f
the two sons, Edward, died a short time
since here in Norwalk, while the eldest,
Henry, is believed to be (lead, as nothing is
definitely known‘of him since the war, when
he was seen by two citizens of Norwalk in
Washington. Had the t’atlrerinnde :1. will,
it is believed by friends of the family to be
probable that these worthy daughters of
most worthy parents, would have been made
the sole beneficiaries of the estate, which
dying. he has left behind and which, owing
to the marital coinplieations'of one son and
the uncertainties as to the" other being liv—
ing, or if dead, as to the pos'sibilities'of his,‘
having left heirs, would all have been obvi-
ated. The Impes, delays, perplexilies and
embarrassments in the settlement of the
estate, caused by these complications, could
all have been obviated by a will of ten Halls
and at a cost of five dollars. This case.
should serve as an admonitiouand lesson to
thousands of others in our towns and indeed
everywhere else,
Capt. Lamb came to Norwalk I'rOru Mys-
tic, Ct., about 1829 and settled in Winni-
pank.
here and is supposed to have been initiated
either at Colelrester or Willimantic. At the
time of his deeease, lie was believed to be
among the longest, if not the longest, in
continuous membership of the fraternity of
any Mason living in Connecticut. He is
believed to have been influenced in his com-
ing to Norwalk, by the late John Arnold,
who also lived in Mystic, and was the friend
of Capt. Lamb, prior to his arrival here.
It would seem to have been a fortunate
change of residence to the upright and kind
hearted Capt. Lamb. v
Upon his death, the' selectmen appointed
Mr. Alonzo C. Arnold “ overseer " in behalf
of and over the interest of Edward, in his
father's estate. Edward himself dying
shortly after his father, the Court of Probate
appointed Mr. 1' Arnold administrator ' on
whatever share in his father's estate might
be legally adjudged to belong to his heirs,
Through Mr. Arnold’s efforts to trace the
legal heirs of this son, (made an imperative
duty by his position as administratorg has
come all this publicity, so painful to Capt.
Lamb’s worthy and innocent daughters.
Yet publicity is inevitable in all such cases,
and thereis no help for it.
Rumors are afloat of a new legal cornplics~
tion in the above case. It is to the effect
that J. Belden H urlbritt has been employed
to bring suit in behalf of Edward Lamb's
acknowledged Norwalk wife and children
for, damages, in the event that the alleged
Ohio wife establishes a legal marriage with
the deceased. So here again, in view of a
long and expensive litigation is emphasized
the unfortunate circumstance .and injustice
to his w’orthy clrildreu, of no will having
been made by Capt. Lamb.

with clouds rolled away and a tempera-
ture made fitting by‘sunshiii'e, those who
irave waited for the change rejoice that it
has come. Among these are - the dry
goods shoppers who are likely' to here;
worded for the exercise of an enforced
patience. A long period of what may be
called relaxatrorr has inspired W. B. Hall
& Co., and their corps of clerks, to take
advantage of the dullness which inclement
weather brought, to set their rent store
in order against» the tin‘rewhen ay should
assert supremacy. ' A change, vast in its
scope, has been wrought among the con-
tents of every shelf, counter, box and
drawer in the store, and in their plate
now appear as the result of those labors
lines of goods. a large proportion of which
have been importer] specially for this mar.
kct and season—fabrics, the value of
which new and pretty names cannot err-
liance, and which by their exquisite
beauty invite the favor of the purchaser.
Examples of many of the choicest of these
importations were placed fora time in the
Main- street windows of the store, and a
partial description of them was given in
this paper, but that description was based
on a sort of general or birdeye‘s view and
conveyed a faint and decidedly imperfect
idea of the real merits of the display.
Since, there have been added other wholly
new importations which have been merg-
ed with what may be called the family of
new fabrics, not to be shown until some
fair buyer detects tlieirbeauties, calls them
forth and. laces them with bouquet of pur-
chases. he moires, the Failles, the gros—
grains, the Rhadamcs, the colors find ,
shades of color are perfectly bewildering,
a lovely black named Plandes'oir much
called for- this spring, all contribute .to
make thesilk display offered ‘more desir-
able than' in any previous year. The
French satteen family is. not only more
numerous than ever before, _ _
and colors more bea'iiti iii. The (1031 ns
wrought into these textures are per ect
studies, and the finislnof each and all so
superb as to lead even a practiced eye to
fancy they are some sort of silk. _ There
are many hundreds of satteens on View but
not one resembling the previous season’s
ofierings which were theusupposed to he
the acme of perfection._ Imperial serges
occupy a large space in their department.
There are of these shades more than can
be embraced in a»brief- outline like this.
Bu ers alone have the chance to study
and’detect their excellences. Silk wrap
Henriettas as here presented are just love-
ly, and appear in shades hitherto never-
even dreamed of. French twilled serges,
too, are prominent, and are finding friends
to appreciate their worth. Albatros and
Batiste cloths find favor among-those who
love substance and form in elegant goods’
of this clasa. In stripes and checks. so
perfect in finish as to recommend them
for use in the stead of real summer silks,
are linesof French mohair. These will
receive without‘ rejecting them a full line
of des'cripiive ad ectives as to the basis of
merit'on Whicht ey rest. ‘ For traveling
dresses there are examples in gray mo—
hairs never before in this market, and if
the Melrose and Panama cloths, the vel—
vets for combining with satteens and the
camel’s hair cloth for braiding are enum—
erated, a column of description would be
the result. '
What puzzles a visitor more than any-
thing else is the complete transformation
of all in the store, There appears to be
not a slrrod left of the lovely stock which
attracted so much attention before the sun
crossed the line two months ago. Now,
daily with the blossoming trees the scene
is becoming more and more beautiful, and
the prices like the'quality, all that can be
desired. .The colors in genteel dress
goods alluded to in the recent window
item suggest and permit a repetition of
their names—serpent green. residu, gobc~
lin blue, French gray. amethyst, copper,
leather, tau, cream, as standards in these
new departures, and there are what may
be termed intermediate shades from each
which form galaxies of desirabilities none
can decline to .admire. -. In_snitings the
stock is immense, and. in .this connection
it should be stated . this firm has secured
the entire stock of ,ladies’ spring suits at a
well known suit house, and are offering
them at about half the usual pricefor the
goods. There is on view an unparalleled.
stock of elegant jackets in ‘whipcord,
French cord and other-fashionable mater~
ials, spring neW‘niarkets and .raglans, at
prices far below those hitherto asked for

trimmings will be found in greater variety,
and presenting more nOVelties than in any
previous year.» There are loves of parasols
of the highest, loWest and intermediate
grades in all the fashionable materials,
some with handles of exquisite workman—
ship, with and without lace covers, suit—
able for the sidewalk, the lawn, the sea-
side or the country. In the store can be
found an array of goods which contem—
plate the needs of those about to travel,
bags, portmanteans and the like.
Below stairs there are surprises, the
chief of which is to ferret out the secret
of how it has been possible to urass so
much that everybody wants in one small
half acre' or so of space. The curtain
lines. for instance, embrace all the China
silk, Irish point and lace of all makes and
grades so well known by the ladies. There
draperies for apartments, for windows and
doors, there are rrrgs that have seen
Smyrna and do not come before buyers
here but to raise the suspicrori that they
areimrtations. Indeed the basement is
filled in with things useful and desirable
that most customers rarely have heard of,
and which form a' solid foundation sup—
porting the aggregation of .elegaucies
above stairs. Now that summer is com-
ing first towards ris, is so near indeed that
talk about a double Fourth of July cele
bratiou is the appropriate thing, it may be
opportune to assure the reader that neither
patriotism or politics can help the person
who would practice economy half so much
as buying what is really needed from’
stocks containing 'ust what is wanted, and
in places like the Icssrs. W. B. Hall& 00.

NATURAL SLEEP
SLEEPLESSNESS, .witlr restless and
wakeful nights, followed by weak,
tired and exhausted feeling on arising in
the morning, are sure forerunner-s of phys-
ical 'pr'ostration and complete nervous ex-
haustion, ending in insanity. Thousands
allow themselves to drift toward the verge
.Of insanity without knowing the feelings
and sensations which they experience day
by day are fast hurrying them on to utter
mental collapse and absolute pi'ostration
of nerve power. Save yourself from
these terrible results while there is yet
time by the use of that wonderful nerve
restor'el', Dr. Greene’s Ncr'vura Nerve
Tonic, which is a purely vegetable reme«
dy and perfectly harmless. It may be
given to children or the rriost delicate lu—
valid without fear. It soothes, calms and
quiets the weakened, irritated and over—
excited nerves, producing perfect repose '
and refreshing natural sleep ; at the same
time it imparts renewed life, strength, vii
tality and vigor to the nervous system
and restores the physical energies and
powers to perfect health and strength.
Ihave been troubled for the past ten
years wrth what the doctor's call nervous
- debility and disturbed sleep or wakeful—
ness at night. I took Dr'. Greene’s Nerv~
ura Nerve Tome, and the results were
“103‘ glintfymg. I am sleeping as quietly
as an infant. and feel that-Ihave a new
lease of life. , For nervousness and sleep:
lessness I never found anything like it.

“The Madonna at the Tuh‘"
Of wirorn Miss Phelps writes, was a gen.

doubtless heeded the warnings of her
predecessors, and understood and appre—
ciated the matcliless qualities of Dr.

lieves and cures so many ailments ‘peCil'

ting tonic, it-imparts strength to the whole
system, and to the womb and its append—
ages, in particular. For overworked,
“worn out," “run down,” debilitated
teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seam—
stresscs, “shop girls," housekeepers, nurs-

“Favorite Prescription" is the greatest
earthly boon, being unequalled as an up
