FOR VICE-PRESIDENT,
LEVI P. MORTON.
Of New York.
Irishman Around.
During the present week campaign
headquarters will be opened in this city by
the Irish Americans, who mean to do their
part in crushing the seeds of British free
trade in this land. The citizens who have
voluntarily engaged in this move are
prompted solely by patriotic love for the
land of their adoption. They ask neither
pecuniary reward in the present nor polit-
ical favors or preferments in the future.
With scarcely an exception these men
have heretofore been democrats, but their
loyalty to the American flag is considered
by them higher and more sacred than the
ties that bind them to any party.
Cleveland has alienated them because he
has proved a traitor to the principles that
have made America foremost among na-
tions ; because he has bargained, as far as
his powers extended, to surrender the
rights of Americans, and finally, because
he has openly avowed his purpose of redu.
cing American werkingmen to the level of
the pauper labor of Europe by introducing
English free trade. Some of his friends
who think he has shown his hand too
openly have besought him to “hedge " in
his letter of acceptance, which will soon
be published, but in a conversation with
Attorney General Cassidy of Pennsylva-
nia, Cleveland put himself on record in
this unblushing style:
“'I believe in free trade as I
believe in the Protestant religion.”
—-N. Y. Press.
The democratic New York Sun, which
supports Grover Cleveland, in its leading
of July 2d, makes the following frank and
honest statement under the head of “Timely
Definitions : ”
A protectionist is a revenue reformer who
purposes first to take off the internal revenue
taxes and to bring the Government back to
the sources of revenue which were relied
upon previous to the civil war; and after
that he would revise the tariff, always with
the principle of protection uppermost.
A free trader is a revenue reformer who
proposes first of all to reduce the tariff duties
on foreign goods and to maintain the inter-
nal revenue taxes untouched. The revision
of the tariff he would put through with the
principle of free trade with foreign nations
uppermost. By steadily pursuing this
policy, all strictly protective duties would
be swept away in the course of about twenty
years, and the country brought substantially
to internal taxation as its permanentmode of
revenue. This would be equivalent to free
trade.
The man who claims to be a protectionist
and yet proposes to maintain the internal
revenue taxes unchanged, and to begin reve-
nue reform by smashing the tariff, is either
under a delusion himself regarding his own
opinions, or is seeking to delude others.
The. man who claims to be a free trader,
yet proposes before making any change in
the tariff to first reduce the internal revenue
taxes, is a sort of man we have never seen ;
and of his existence there is as yet no evi-
dence.
It is just as well that these distinctions
should be understood exactly as they are,
There is no use in a false pretence or mis-
leading representation about the subject.

Mrs. Foster’s Plank.
The Republican platform is not the prod-
uct of Major McKinley’s unaided effort.
The sobriety and virtue'and purity of our
homes plank is attributed on good authority
to Mrs. J. Ellen Foster of Iowa :
“The first concern of all good governments
is the virtue and sobriety of the people and
the purity of their homes. The Republican
party cordially sympathizes with all wise
and well-directed efforts for the promotion of
temperance and morality.’ ’
This is not the first time in the history of
the United States that a woman has contri-
buted so important a part of so important a
political document.
It will be remembered that the purity of
our homes, part of Mr. Cleveland’s first an-
nual message to Congress was written by a
woman—quite as accomplished a woman and
quite as earnest a friend of morality as the
excellent Mrs. J. Ellen Foster of Iowa.—

Wilson Point Road.
First Selectmen James has at last “got
onto” the Wilson Point road outrage. Here
is an U. S. post. office. a railroad depot and
scores of citizens living on the adjacent is-
lands, cut off from all road communication
with the outer world, by reason of the clos-
ing up of a public highway two centuries
and more old. The statute laws of Connec-
ticut require that a highway shall be main-
tained to and from every railroad depot.
Yet the Housatonic Railroad Co., which is
accused of being the chief offender in this
case, inasmuch as its tracks are laid upon
the old Wilson Point road and the new lay-
out promised by the old Danbury & Nor-
walk Co. has never been attempted. The
public have rights in this matter which have
long been the subject of a slow and lazy suit
but now that Mr. James has promised to put
his shoulder to the wheelhit is believed that
something is going to be done about it.

The Boston Globe volunteers the sugges-
tion that if the genial Tom Waller, he of
the ambrosial locks and London consulate,
should be the democratic candidate for
governor of his state this fall, Connecticut
would be taken out of the doubtful list
and placed in the sure democratic column.
——Record.
But Thomas isn’t the kind of a bird to
be caught with any such chaff as that.
He isn’t likely to give up his $24,000 a
year consulate, for a chance of certain de-
feat, for he knows full well that neither
his conceded popularity or Barnnm’s mil-
lion i'ollars worth of “mules ” can save
Connecticut to the democracy in the face
of Cleveland’s free trade policy.

New Church Enterprise.
St. John’s parish, anciently Lower Sa~
lem, was born in the last century, and was
in some sort a dependency of St. Paul’s
parish, Norwalk. The Indian chief Ca-
toonah had conveyed to John Belden of
St. Paul’s, and others of the town of Nor-
walk, a large portion of the tract now
known as Lewisboro, and among the fa-
thers of the new parish were several of
the parishioners of old St. Paul’s. James
Brown (a descendant of the William Brown
who founded an English Hospital in the
reign of Edward III, and whose brass fig-
ure is seen to—day in St. Mary's church,
Lincolnshire, and whose “ Norwalk man-
sion” stood near the residence of Gov.
Fitch) was one of these, also Samuel
Gates of the old Ralph Gates stock. These
men did a great deal for the church in
Lewlsboro. A comfortable edifice was
erected upon the site of Catoonah’s and
Ammon's favorite camping gréuud, and
not far from the house in which Major
John Andre was held in custody, and in
which he wrote his famous letter to Gen.
Washington. In this church Doctors Dib-
ble and Learning ministered, and. large
congregations, evidently ythered. During
the revolutionary war troubles the church
wasjclosed; and it continued closed for a
number of years. The people however,
those of them who remained at home,
could not entirely forget the service which
they loved, and several of them came, on
horseback or on foot to St. Paul’s. In
about 1810 the services were resumed,and
were, with more or less regularity kept up
until 1852. In 1870 the Hon. John Lewis,
of Washington, D. 0., purchased a tract
of some fifty acres, and donating it to the
parish, began building upon a portion of
it. a commodions parsonage, and saw laid
the corner stone of anew church. The
parsonage was about two-thirds finished,
and one—third paid for, when Mr. Lewis
was suddenly removed by death. He died
intestate, and it having been impossible to
arrange with his heirs for the carrying on
of the work, the parish felt compelled to
complete that which was already almost
finished, and .to assume the balance of
some six thousand dollars indebtedness.
They were a feeble folk, and it was a
mountain load for them to carry. But
they have struggled on, and kept up their
services, and raised within a few years
years past about three thousand, five hun-.
dred dollars which has been applied to the
principal, leaving them at the present time
about twenty-five hundred dollars in debt.
At this juncture a wealthy layman has
come forward -who pledges himself to
build for them the long contemplated
church upon the condition that the exist-
ing indebtedness be cancelled. This gen-
erous proffer has been supplemented by a
further offer, and Rt. Rev. Dr. Henry C.
Potter has recently placed the matter in
the hands of the Rev. C. M. Selleek who
is making collections for the enterprise.
The Rev. Howard S. Clapp on Sunday
morning last made a noble appeal to his
people and appointed the third Sunday in
August on which an offering for the work
would be made in St. Paul’s Church. The
site of the proposed church is a handsome
highland, and when completed its tower‘
and spire will overlook the venerable
mother eleven miles to the southeast.
Col. Watson'- Orders.
Col. T. L. Watson has issued general
orders No. 3 calling the Fourth regiment
into camp at Niantic, Aug. 20, at 10 a. m.,
for 6 days’ camp duty.
In addition to the usual directions as to
uniform, etc.. the order says: ,
Attention is called to par. IV a 0. No.
13, A. G. 0., as follows : “At this encamp-
ment, all enlisted men of companies and
platoons will be quartered in what are
known as the ‘improved common tents,’
all the canvas being entirely new. This
will not only greatly improve the appear-
ance of the camp, but will contribute to
the comfort and health "cf the men. These
tents are drawn from the U. S. govern—
ment, and are the property of the United
States. The practice which has hereto—
fore prevailed to some extent of marking,
or in any way defacing or injuring the
tents, is hereby strictly forbidden. Com—
manding officers of companies, platoons
and of the battery will receipt to the brig—
ade commander for the number of tents
occupied by their respective commands,
and will be held responsible for the en—
forcement of this order, and for any dam—
age done. The quartermaster general is
directed to cause a special inspection to be
made of the tents, on the last day of the
encampment before they are struck; the
attention of commanding officers will then
be called to any damage done.”
The closing paragraph is as follows :
“It is expected and required that every
oflicer and member of this regiment will
be present in camp and perform the whole
tour of duty, and use every effort in their
power to maintain a high standard of ex
cellence in service and deportment.”

Vincent Culver.
Vincent Colyer, imformation of whose
death at his home on Contentment Island,
Conn., was received yesterday, was apainter
by profession. but was better known from his
connection with Indian commissions and his
work in behalf of religion and temperance.
He was born. in Bloomingdale, N. Y., in
1825 and at the age of nineteen came to this
city, and devoted himself to the study of
painting. In 1849 he was elected an asso-
ciate member of the National Academy.
From that time till the outbreak of the war
he painted in this city, winning considerable
reputation.
Ioving then to Rowayton, Conn., he de-
voted all his time to his duties as a member
of the Christian and Indian Commissions.
This interest in the Indians he maintained
to the last and was always active in promot-
ing plans for their welfare. He was the
author of “Johnson Straits, British Colum-
bia,” “Pueblo,” "Passing Shower,” “Home
of the Yachamas, Oregon,” “Darlenshire,
Conn.,” “Rainy Day on the Connecticut
Shore,” “Winter on the Connecticut Shore,”
“French Waiter,” “Spring Flowers,” and
many other works—Tribune.
Arithur A. Lckwood’s Funeral.
The funeral of Arthur A. Lockwood was
held yesterday morning at the home of his
brother, Willistou D. Lockwood, No. 46
East Fifty-third-st.
Mr. Lockwood was a son of the late Le-
Grand Lockwood. He was admitted to
membership in the Stock Exchange January
18, 1883, and remained in business until
about two years ago. His health being
poor, he then went to California, where he
spent the winter with his brother, H. B.
Lockwood. Apparently much improved in
health, he started for the East, stopping on
the wa at Maniton, COL, where he died
last Friday of consumption. Mr. Lockwood
was thirty-two years old, and was unmarried.

Health—11.6mm
The J lllle report of the state. board of
health gives a total of 813 deaths and the
greatest mortality comes from the country
towns. If more people would go out into
the open air there would be less dying.
There were no deaths in 36 towns. Afew
cases of small pox were reported from
Canton and Norwalk, but they were not
fatal. There were fewer deaths by dip-
theria and croup,the record being 20 deaths
against 50 in May. Typhoid fever and
scarlet fever were the principal diseases.
Wallingford had ’ the largest death rate,
19.6 a 100), and New London was the
smallest, being 8.5. ' ‘ -

Constantinople Letter. \
DEAR Gizur'rr :—-Late in lhe afternoon
of Thursday, April 26, I started on a
steamer of , the French “Messageric Mari-
time” line for Dardanelles. It wai from
the deck of a steamer of the same com-
pany that I first saw the city of Constan-
tine in 1867, though the company was then
called “Messagerie Imperiale.”
I sat on deck watching the many min-
arels of the city, the heights of chtari—
where- our own home is, the hospitals
where Florence Nightingale did her work
of love. Kardikeny which is the ancient
chalcedon where was held the 4th general
council of the Christian church, and the
Isles of the Princes, as one after another
they gradually faded from sight. The
passengers all retired early and when we
came on deck the next morning we had
almost completed the 140 miles run to
Dardanellcs.
One of my associates, Rev. C. A. S.
Dwight, had preceded me two days, and
had made preparation fora little excursion
in which we had decided to indulge. The
plain of Troy is but a 5 hours ride from
Dardanelles, and who,when so near, could
or should resist the temptation to viSit it?
So, after eating a hearty breakfast at the
house of the pastor, we mounted our
horses and IOIIOWed our Turkish guide as
he led us along the road from Dardanelles
to Adramid ( the Adramythinc of Acts 27..
2) which is 30 hours distant. Passing first
the quarantine station and then a steam
flour mill, we came, in about three hours,
to the large and well-built Greek village of
Erenkeui,‘ where we stopped for lunch,
our piece dc resistance being a peculiarly
delicate fish caught in the Hellespont.
An hour beyond this village we left the
Adramid road on our left, and soon knew,
from a‘previoi‘is study of the topography
of the region, that we were drawing near
the historic spot. Though several locali-
ties in the neigborhood have been fixed
upon by different explorers as the site of
Troy of Homer. the contention is practi-
cally narrowed down to the rival claims of
Hissarlik. ' and Bounarhashi. The weight
of modern opinion is doubtless in favor of
the former, Dr. Schloiman and Mr. Glad-
stone being among the dcfcnders of this
view. The arguments by which it is de-
fendcd are clearly set forth in the article
on Troy in the Encyclopedia Britannica
and given at greater length in Dr. Sclilei-
man’s book. ’ ‘ '
It was to Hissarlik that we first went.
This place is situated at the extremity ofa
low ridge, along ' whose base runs the
ancient Simois, now called the Dombrek.
I dismounted to pluck, and to press in my
note-book, the flowers of a water plant
growing in the Simois, and another 15
minutes in the saddle brought us to the
spot. . Hissarlik was certainly the Troy of
the times of Xerxez and Alexander the
Great, and probably of the Troy of Homer,
if we are to take the Iliad as being a his—
toric basis, as I think we must. ' We gave
our horses to our guide and wandered
over the bill which is now all cut up by
the trenches dug by Dr. Schleiman’s work-
men. Oiir guide was one of the overseers
employed by this enthusiastic German to
see that the workmen did not secrete arti-
cles of value which they found. The pro-
ducts of his rich find are- mostly in the
museum at Athens and there was nothing
for us to see save bits of old walls which
had been uncovered, and a few columns
of marble and of granite. The Doctor’s
theory thathc had found seven cities, one
below another, did not seem to us clear
from any evidence now remaining on the
spot. The hill dug over is not large, and
was probably occupied by the citadel,
while the city extended around it.
_ Here then, we said to ourselves, stood
the city whose distinction dates back to
almost 1200 B. C. In front of us was the
Blietian promontory on the Hellespont.
between which and the mouth of the
straight lies the bay in which the Grecian
ships are supposed to have been anchored.
Over the intervening plain, more than
3000 years ago. fought Greek .nml 'l‘mjnn,
besiegers and. besieged. We tried to bring
back again to the flesh, Achilles and
Hector, Ajax, Agamemnon, Ulysses, Dio-
mede, Paris and Eancas, and to see them
alternately pursuing and pursued as, the
scale of victory tipped first in favor of the
one and then in favor of the other. It was
about this spot that the body of Hector
was dragged three times behind the chariot
of Achilles, and yonder. by the sea shares,
the aged Priam begged the body of his
favoriteson. The snowy summit of Mt.
Ida, the source of the Leamander. we saw
in the distance, looking coubtless just as
it did in those days of old.
It seems to me appropriate to 'write of
this excursion to the Gszsm, for it was in
the Norwalk Union School that I made
my first acquaintance with Homer. When
the desire to go to college drew me from
behind the counter, the presence of my
‘old pastor, Rev. Wm. B. Weed in Nor—'
walk led me to spend a few months there
in breaking up and adding to my prepa—
tory studies. Mr. (now Rev.) H. S. Hunt-
ington, had charge of the classical depart-
ment, and a number of bright youths of
both sexes occupied the desks in the High
School. And that was 30 years ago, one-
hundredth part~ of the whole distance
separating us from the Trojan “or. E.G.
Bishop. the only one from the school to
enter Yale with me, died long years ago ;
so did E. A. Pinney, a graduate of the
school who came from New Haven and
pledged me to the Brothers in Unity; and
so too did Asbury Hill, perhaps the most
brilliant of the lads we left in the school.
I trust your readers will'pardo'n this di—
gression. We tookalast look from [lissar-
lik and then rode in]; hour toafarm house
belonging to M. Calvert, an Englishman
acting as American Vice-Consul ht Dar-
danellcs. Ills agent entertained us hospit-
ably and we had comfortable beds given
us. ‘Before starting next morning we
wrote our names in the visitors' book, be—
neath those of Grant Duff, M. P., Sir John
Lubbvelk, J. Bryce, M. P., Prof. Jeff of
Glasgow, Prof. Sayce of Oxford, Prof.
Goodwin of Harvard, Prof. Virchon, Ber-
lin, H. M Lorriuge, U. S. N ., Prof. Warr
Columbia, and a host of others.
The next morning we got an early start
from Bouvarbasbi, which we reached in
little 'over an hour, crossing the Lcamander
on the way. Bouvarbasbi (the word is
Turkish and means the “fountain of Tur-
mish)" is considerably higher than Hissar-
lik and commands a magnificent view.
We climbed to the top of a mound called
Hector’s Tomb, and swept the horizon
with our glass. To the S. W. rose the
mountains on the island of Mitylene, and
near us, but concealed by intervening
highlands, was Alexandria Troas, where
Paul preached and restored Eutychus to
to life. In front of us lay Tenedos, the
island behind which the Greek ships lay
concealed, according to Virgil. In the
distance we could see Lcmnos. Further
around to the north lay Imbros, and be—
yond it rose a mountain of .Iamothraeia.
To the right of these islands we could just
:descry the dim outline of the N. shore of
the Aegean. In front of us lay the beauti-
tul green Trojan plain, perhaps 12 miles
long, and beyond it the Hellespont, whose
entrance is guarded by the two fortifica—
tions, Koum Kalc on the Asiatic, and
Led-LBahi (barrier of the sea) on the Eu-
ropean side.
After feasting our eyes and our hearts
long on the broad and beautiful prospect,
we descended to drink of one of the fa
mous fountains at the foot of the hill, and
then rode back to Dardanelles. The rest
of Saturday and Sunday were given to the
special work which took us there, and
Monday noon we started on our return.
It is only ,9 years since the first preacher
was located at Dardanelles and there is an
interesting story of persecution and de—
liverance, but I will not stop to tell it.
Dardanelles is a place containing about
1,100 Turkish, 600 Greek, 450 Jewish, and
150 American houses. All steamers going
in either direction have to stop here and
get permission to go on. There is a very
old fortification there, and another called
Kilid-l-Bahi (lock of the sea) on the oppo—
site side. Biit these are now only interest-
ing as relics of the past; new and formid-
able earthworks bristlc with cannon, and
it is here that the Istrait is most strongly
defended as this is its narrowest point.
On the Asiatic side there are three fortifi—
cations, thc newest and largest of which
is called Hemidie, after the present sultan.
It is not yet entirely completed. ,
, The only factories in Dardanelles are of
pottery. Water jugs and .other glazed
ware in grotesque shapes, such as camel
shaped jugs, and turtle-shaped salt cellars
form a specialty. A comical jug which
we bought. as a memento of our visit
makes a very pretty bracket ornament.
Just after starting on our return we
passed Nagara point, near which the
ancient Abydos is supposed to have been
situated. It was from this point, says
tradition, that Leander swam across the
Hellespont by night, guided by the lamp
placed in the wmdow of her tower by
Hero, priestess of ' Juno, between whom
and himself a mutual affection had sprung
up. Her sacred office forbade their mar-
riage and so their meetings were kept
secret. But one night the wind blew out
the light in Hero's tower, and Leander
perished in the waves. When Hero saw
his body, which was washed ashore, she -
threw herself into the sea and perished
also. At the same point, in 1810, Lord
Byron and another Englishman swam the
strait in 70 minutes. ,
Near the upper end of the Dardunelles
we _ passed the village of Lawsaka, near
which the ancient Lampsacus probably
stood. Almost opposite is the city of
Palippoli , in whose harbor ' we stopped
over an hour. It is the largest city on the
Dardancllcs, or Hellespont, but there is
nothing specially interesting about it Not
many miles from tlie'cily are the strong
fortifications on the isthmus of Boulair,
hiiilt for the defence of the peninsula on
the W. side of the straight.
When we went below We were abreast
the lighthouses on the island of Marmora
and we came on deck the next morning to
find ourselves, already entering Constanti-
nople harbor. H. S. BARNUM.
