E. B. Wilson was the successful bidder
for the contract for carrying the mails be.
tween the borough and South Norwalk
for the ensuing year, the rice belug $400.
This is $48 less than ennctt got last
year, which was unreasonably low for the
amount of work involved. The carrier
must make ten round trips, equal to 30
miles every week day and two trips every
Sunday. One dollar and nine cents a day
isn’t an exorbitant salary for a man who
has to work early and late and take the
copious cursing that an indignant com-
munity stands ready to pour out upon
him for any delay, whether he deserves it
or not.—-Record.

The Chicago News publishes it sharp
attack upon JJhn C. Black, the “mental,
moral and physical wreck," Commissioner
of Pensions. The charge is that Black
was active in Indiana before the St. Louis
Convention, and that his authority as
Commissioner was employed to defeat the
aspirations of Gov. Grey of Indiana, who
wished to be the candidate for Vice-Pres-
This is most likely as Black was
exerting himself to the utmost, to get the
nomination for himself.

The Atlantic Yacht Club rendezvoused
in Black Rock Harbor over Sunday,:Rev.
Wm. H. Thomas preaching the annual
sermon. The Club intended to halt inside
Norwalk Islands, but owing to the old
highway up through the L. O. Wilson
estate being closed, and all means of
access to the outer world being thus cut
off, the Club proceeded east to Black
Rock from where they left on their fifty
mile cruise Monday morning. This clos-
ing up of the public highway to Wilson’s
Point is an outrage that ought not to be
tolerated another day.
Fairly conquered in the war of the revol-
ution, England returned again in 1812, and
with vandal torch they fired our nation’s
capital without even the poor justification of
military necessity. They came again in
1861-5, with aid and comfort to the national
enemy ; and while they gave us honeyed
words to calm our fears, their ships were
ready and their guns were sliotted to deo
Itroy us. In recent years, secure through
the friendship of Cleveland and Bayard,
Canadian constables have hauled down our
nation’s’flag upon the high seas without a
word of protest from the State Department.
From the New York Sun: Adistin-
guished convert to the tarifLsmashing
brigade, the Mugwump anti-Hill Provi-
dence Journal, thus sneers :
“The Mills bill proposes to reduce the
taxes on necessaries and raw materials an
average of 7 per cent., leaving them at 40
per cent. This is free trade."
No, esteemed contemporary! It is no
more free trade than the preliminary tor-
ture of an unfortunate victim by his sav-.
age captors is actual murder. But free
trade would be the natural, rational, prac-
ticable, and probable result of the Mills
bill, and not at a very distant date either,
just as the torture business is pretty sure
‘ to end in the death of its subject.
Harper’s Magazine for August appears to
have been arranged with an eye to the fact
that in this month more people are at leisure
than in any other month of the year. The
number, therefore, is full of good reading
commonly called fiction. In Mr. Howells’s
“Annie Kilburn,” as in a mirror, the devote
of private theatricals may behold his (or
her) motives clearly revealed. The affects.-
tion of intellectual interests and culture, so
common among people who have neither
tntellcct nor culture, is depicted with fidel-
ity. A high point of interest is reached in
reached in the instalment of \Villiam Black’s
“In Far Lochaber.” Then there is “Pride
and Pride,” a love-story of August tempera-
ture by Mrs. J anc G. Austin, which will
serve to while away the odd moments. But
what will attract the most attention is the
second and final part of H. Rider Haggard’s
' “Maiwa’s Revenge.” It is splendidly illus-
trated, and turns out well. What more
couldone ask of a story ?
At precisely six o’clock Wednesday
morning, the floor on the second story of
H. E. Dunn’s horse stable adjoining the
large wagon house, settled with a tre
mendous crash directly over the stalls con~
taining twenty horses. The main beam
supporting the floor timbers struck square—
ly on the top of an upright. post standing
about six feet above the ground floor, and
the floor was thus prevented from falling
to the bottom of the first story. Directly
under the large beam was a mare for
which Mr. Dunn had just refused an offer
of $1,200 which would have been crushed
but for the providential post, and but for
which the entire floor would have fallen,
besides all the tremendous weight which
it here and which started it from its fast—
enings, consisting of several tons of grain,
hay, etc., and ' twenty valuable horses
Would have been crushed to death. The
settling of the floor caused the
brick side of the stable to bulge
out and ' the roof to settle, to
a considerable extent. The necessary
repairs will cost not far from $300. How-
ever, the damage would have been meas-
ured by thousands if that round—headed
post had not caught the falling floor, as
the carpenter in charge says that the side
of the stable would have been forced out,
the roof would have collapsed and the
massacre of the horses, and the total de-
struction of about a hundred buggies, car-
riages and coaches, would have been com-
piete.

alarmingly on the increase in this city.
On Park row alone, between Ann street
and Frankfort, there are now daily no less
than three perambulatory dairies, which

buttermilk was “positively churned this
morning, and is kept in porcelain-lined
jars." Similar establishments are scatter-
ed‘about most of the leading down town

ed report of the proceedings of the con-

meeting one of unusual interest.

According to the Washington Grille, the
Democratic National Committee is amply
provided with funds for the necessary cx-
peuses of the canvass:
“Representatlve Scott. of Pennsylva-
nia, has pirt his name down for $1,000,000
to be paid in installments of $250,000, as
the' committee may require; Brice, of
Ohio, is down for $500,000; Hermann
Oelrichs, of New York, for a like sum;
Edward Cooper for $100,000, and the rich
men of Tammany Hall pledge $500,000.
The New York County Democracy, to vie
with Tammany, pledges as much money
as the latter organization may give." _
o
The fire-bug was on deck again last
Saturday night. Shortly before eleven
o’clock Dr. Higgins discovered flames
pouring out of one corner of the roof of
Mr. Charles Acton's barn on West avenue.
He immediately gave the alarm and in an
incredibly short time the whole fire dc-
partment was on the spot, working brave-
ly and to good effect. The fire bad start-
ed in the hay in the north east corner and
before anything could be done to prevent
it, the entire loft and roof were in flames.
Meantime the contents of the ground floor
were speedily and safely removed, consist-
ing of two horses, sleigh, carriages, har-
ness, etc. The firemen succeeded in pro
venting the fire from burning through the
floor and the entire lower portion of the
building remiss entact. The barn and
its contents were insured through Cowies
&; Merrill’s agency, for $1,500 in the Na-
tional and Phoenix companies offifiartford,
and the Continental and \Vestchester.
The amount of damage sustained has not
yet been fixed by the adjusters.
Nothing quite so funny has turned up
so far in this campaign, as the‘ cry of
“free whiskey” made by the democratic
press. If our able contemporaries have
any sense of humor at all they must be
convulsed with mirth at their plaintive
effusions. It is very much as though Jeff
Davis should reproach General Harrison
for upholding secession—by fightiiig
against it.—St(mdard. ,
Verify the usually sedate and always
esteemed Standard is making rapid strides
toward the front rank of humorous papers.
If we mistake not it warmly endorsed Mr.

from whiskey would be to “cheapen it
and increase its consumption enormously. ”
The “free whiskey cry” is not nearly so'
funny as the republican bowl of "free
trade” when a just and equitable revison
of the tarifi is suggested. The Jeff Davis
analogy is far etched. The deduction
from the Slandard'a comparison is that
the most effective way to “fight against
secession" would be to slaughter our own
armies.—Record.
There is no single plank of our plat-
form that should cvokc universal approv-
al more than that proposing to abrogate
all the internal revenue taxes, born of the
necessities of the war, and relegate the
treatment of the several articles taxed to
the States. The Na tion does not now need
the income derived from these taxes and
the States do, many of them being still
burdened with their war debts.> The cry
of the democrats for years,bas been “ubOI'
ish the war taxes,” but now because it is
embodied in the Republican Platform and
would forsooth,interfere with dcmocracy’s
mad and ruinous free trade policy, silly
outcries like that of the Rem-.1 fill the air.

but for his untiring fight for protection
the party, under Mr. Cleveland’s leader-
ship, would have committed itself so ir-
revocably to free trade that overwhelming
, defeat would surely have attended it in
the present campaign, and this doctrine
as set forth in Mr. Cleveland’s letter, may
yet defeat the democratic party this fall.

INCREASE YOUR PENSION.
Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled
to a much higher rate of pension than they now
receive. In a great majority of cases in which
pension was granted for disease, the pensioner is
entitled to an increase of rate, and in most cases
where it was granted for wounds or injuries the
disability increases each year. As time passes the
disability of all classes naturally increases. Many
were at first rated too low, and it often occurs
that (pensioners are unjustly or erroneously re-
duce by examining surgeons. A pensioner is
entitled to increase on a disability not set forth in
his original declaration. The pension laws are
more liberal than formerly, and better rating can
be had for many disabilities. I make a specialty
of Neglected and Rejected Claims. and if you Will
present the with a brief statement of our case,
stating by whom it was presented, I w ll obtain a
rehearing of your case, and, if it has merit, will
procure a favorable settlement. - Many claims
stand rejected before the department, when it
only requires a competent attorney to make them
good cases. Soldiers superbly with disabilities
contracted in service, who Ira-re not applied for a
pension, should do so as it Is their nion'r.
