EDITORIAL LETTER.
Wasnmorou, D 0., Dec. 10, ’88.
DEAR GAstrn:—The uppermost topic
of interest in and about Congress is the
question of an extra session and the next
speaker. It is reported that President-elect
Harrison has been interviewed and has
stated that he should be governed by the
wishes of the leaders of his party in regard
to calling an extra session. Reed, of Maine,
is conceded to be ahead in the race for
the speakership,but should he conclude to
decline the honor McKinley would be the
favorite; though he is deemed the most
alert and useful lender of the republican side
on the floor, and for that reason many of his
friends discourage his elevation to the
speakership.
' SOUTH NORWALK POST MASTER.
The democracy of South Norwalk are
anything but happy over the “hang—fire” of
their post-ofiice succession. It 15 stated
that Hon. William H. Barnum had agreed '
with certain South Norwalk democratic
leaders to nominate and have appointed Mr.
Robert Wilcox as P. M. Dnnning's successor,
immediately upon the expiration of the
latter’s commission. This arrangement was
seriously, if not fatally, delayed and inter-
fered with by reason of Mr. Barnum’s seri-
ous illness. This scheme also got to the
ears of Mr. Jerry Donovan, who as chief
worker, contributor and leader of the dem-
ocracy, assumed to have his say in the mat-
ter. So that he, backed by General Taylor
made an onslaught upon kind hearted, poor:
old and decrepit Judge Granger as the'
legitimate party to name Danniug’s suc-
cessor. Mr. Donovan’s candidate is Mr.
Herman Snyder, of the firm of Banks &
Snyder,'dry good~men, under the Mahackemo
Hotel. Wilcox has in a gentlemanly and
quiet and dignified way, relied upon his re—
cord as a Union soldier and the support of
such Democrats as err-Sheriff Swartz, Select-
man Craw and as. he reasonably supposed,
Gen. Nelson Taylor also. But last week
Geu.Tavlor turned up here at the P. 0.
Department as the special attorney and ad—
vocate of Snyder's appointment. What
assurances of success he got, if any, have
not transpired, but as Mr. Barnum is known
to desire to have the matter left with Con.
gressman Granger, owing to his own illness,
itis likely to become a very pretty and
interesting local fight as to which candidate
shall be commissioned to hold the office for
the next four months. Mr. Donovan is a
man who, when he goes into a fight, goes in
to;win, and earnestly persuades himself that
the end always justifies the use of any means
to accomplish his purpose. Iiis candidate
is also specially strong with the Democracy
because he is supposed to have the full
strength, arising from being “one of the
boys” and being more active at elections,
and as familiara personage in the saloons
and about the card table as Wilcox is at
church. Besides, with this administration,
Wilcox is seriously handicapped by having
been a faithful soldier in the Union army.
Had he served in the gray, instead of the
lue uniform, his commission would have
been issused to him with “the most cheerful
alacrity.” The chances, therefore, are‘ de
cidedly in favor of Donovan and his man
Snyder, though the contest is by no means
concluded, and a lively tussle is sure to en -
gage the attention and interest of our local
politicians, both Republican and Democratic,
for the end is not yet.
sauna TARIFF BILL.
Senator Allison, chairman of the com-
mittee on appropriations, says “it is the in-
tention of the Republican majority in the
Senate to press the measure until we fully
satisfied that we cannot pass it by reason of
more obstructive action from the other side
than we have had. The main points of
controversy on the metal schedule will be
the protective duty on tin plate, the dis
tinctive classification of cotton ties as hoop
iron and wire rods in their proper place.
We anticipate some discussion on steel rails-
Our bill makes them $15.88, instead of $17.
We will not have much time for delays of
debate and amendment with any very en—
couraging hope of finishing up our work
very soon. But until we begin to receive
the appropriation bills from the House we
can go on with our present work.”
ulvnu axn nAunou.
The Democratic majority of the House
committee on rivers and harbors have, with
suspicious eagerness, recommended a new
bill limited to $11,000,000, and mainly to
be expended in the south and southwest, for
passage at this session; but Senator Frye,
chairman of the Senate committee on com-
merce, tells your correspondent that the
$25,000,000 just passed, cannot more than
be judiciously expended during the coming
year and in the view of the Senate commit-
tee it would be a waste of the public money
to allow this House bill to be hurried
through at this session. He is confident
that additional river and harbor appropria-
tions will be passed before the next session
of Congress.
. oUn MEAT SUPPLY.
The Senate committee to investigate the
dressed beef trust and other matters con-
nected with the meat supply, finds itself
unable to make up its mind as to whether
the beef trust is an enemy to the public or
not. Senator Vest, the chairman of the in—
vestigating five who recently visited St.
Louis and other points on a tour of inspec-
tion, has asked for an extension of time in
which to Investigate further before report-
ing. The extension resolution empowers
the committee to sit during the present ses-
sion and also during the next recess of the
Senate.
WANTS AN INCOME TAX.
Representative Stewart, of Georgia, has
introduccda. bill to establish a graduated
income tax, which provides that all individ-
uals, corp nations and estates in the United
States receiving an annual net income of
$5,000 and upwards shall be assessed as fol—
lows—the money to be collected by the
internal revenue collectors and be paid
intoit-he public treasury : Five thousand up to
tcn’thousand,2 per cent. of said income;
ten thousand to twenty-five thousand
3per cent.; twenty-five thousand to fifty
lhousand, 4 pr cent.; fifty thousand to
seventy-five thousand, 5 per cent.; :eveuty—
five'thousand to one hundred thousand, 6
per cent.; one hundred thousand to two
hundred thousand,8 per cent. ; all over
two hundred thousand 10 per cent. The
said income tax to be applied to the payment
of pensions. It is needless to say that this
Democratic measure of the patriotic Georgia
Congressman will never pass.
IIFTv-savux YEARS IN TIIE SENATE.
Fiflyseven years ago last Wednesday,
through the personal influence of Daniel
Webster, Isaac Bassett was appointed a page
in the United States Senate. The same
Isaac Bassett is in the employ of the Senate
to-day, his term of oflice having been on—
broken. The “\ aptain,” as he is generally
designated, received many congratulations
on his official birthday. He is still working.
on his "Reminiscences," but he will not
publish them until the sixtieth anniversary
rollsnround. The captain is also engaged
in preparing for the celebration of his
golden wedding, which is due December 27
He is a native of New London.
_ BOOKS.
Librarian Spofibrd is competent to testify
that of the making of many books there is
no end. The accessions to the Congressional
Library for 1887 from copyright sources
were: Of books, 13,683; periodica‘s, 6,708;
dramatic compositions, 536; musical com.
positions, 7,744; photographs, 1,850: en-
gravings and chromos, l, 48; maps and
charts, 1,822; miscellaneous, including de-
signs, prints, models, paintings and drawings,
1190. Lo wonder a new Congressional
library building of immense proportions is
, required.
Secretary Fairchlld has settled the con-
troversy over the telectiou of a site for the
new public building in Bridgeport, by ap-
proving the recommendation of Assistant
Architect Fisher for the purchase of the
property at the corner of Cannon and
Broad streets for $25,000. Mr. Fisher re-
ported that the balance of the appropriation
is ample for the construction of a suitable
public building.
The Attorney—General in his annual re-
port recommends the passage of the bill
now pending in Congressfor the appoint-
ment of acommission to inquire into the
advisability of bni‘ding government peni—
tentiaries and reformatories, and also for a
new building for the United States Supreme
Court. This latter is supposed to be an
approval of Senator Morrill’s plan of con-
demning the square north of that upon
which the new National Library building is
going up and which will raise the value of
the late investments in real estate made on
Capitol Hill by Major Holmes and W. R.
Lockwood. A valuable house belonging to
Mr. L. is situated on this square, and if the
measure is carried through Congress, as is
expected it will be, Mr. Lockwood’s house
willbe taken down and paid for by the
government. .'

Attorney General Garland also says that
the petitions filed in the Supreme Court and
Court of Claims in French spoliation cases
number 5,508, representing 2,386 vessels and
about $30,000,000. The majority of these
caseshnve been disposed of so far as the
court is concerned and have been certified
to Congress. The remainder will he re-
ported to Congress during the present ses—
61011.
THE TIIEASURY'S SECOND ROBBERY.
The U. S. Treasurer’sofiipe is again dis-
turbed over the mysterious disappearance of
ten sheets of paper, each containing four
notes of the denomination of $5, and repre—
senting $200 in all. These sheets were
included in-the regular delivery from the
bureau of engraving and printing to the
United States Treasurer last Tuesday rnorn~
ing. The packages were ' counted and
reported tobe correct in every particular
before leaving the bureau. On reaching
the treasurer‘s office they were again counted
and reported correct. The notes are all
completed with the exception of being
stamped with the treasury seal. and when
that is added they are ready for issue. After
the packages in question had been verified
at the treasurer’s office they were turned
over to the sealing division for completion.
They were counted there and found to be
short ten sheets. These were numbered in
regular order, and were in the middle of a
package. The officer in charge of the
division refused to receipt for these sheets,
and word was sent to the bureau for an
explanation. Although several days have
passed no trace whatever of the missing
sheets has been discovered. The notcs will
readily pass current for money, for they lack
only the treasury seal to be legal tender.
mus. POTTER uonano.
Mrs. James Brown Potter, the noted
beauty, who is playing here, was robbed of
her diamonds at the Arlington last week,
but the sneak thief was caught and within
two hours tried and convicted. Mrs. Potter
appeared in the police court and then before
the grand jury and testified as to bar owner-
ship of the jewels, and her presence packed
both court rooms to suffocation.
AN OIL BURNING LOCOMO'I‘IVE.
An interesting exhibition has just taken
place on the Toledo, Columbus and Southern
road, which illustrates the possibilities of
crude oil as a fuel for steam producing.
The engine was fitted with the crude oil
burner of the Brooks Petroleum Fuel and
Motor company, of Washington, D. C. The
inventor, Captain W. H. Brooks, was in the
cab and acted as engineer down the road
and back. Mr. W. D. Colt, as representa-
tive of the company. explained the work-
ing of the appliance to those present, who
were highly pleased with what they saw.
A regular engine on the T. C. and S. will
be fitted for oil burning, and will be used
for passenger service. to give the contrivancc
a severe trial. The advantages claimed for
the oil burner on locomotives are economy,
cleanliness and the absence of smokc and
Cinders. This invention is owned in part by
Norwalk parties, and its assured successs
will be a source of gratification to them.
The navy department has also tested the
principle on several of the government ves-
sels, and finds that it works as well in the
propulsion of steam vessels as it does in
locomotives and stationary engines. An
associated press dispatch to this city is as
follows:
Chicago, Dec. 6.—A Findlay, 0.. special
says: Yesterday an engine on the Toledo,
Columbus and Southern railroad drew a
passenger train from Toledo to this citv on
fuel furnished by crude petroleum. 'The
trial was such a success that President
Brown announcrs that he will have all his
engines arranged for the use of oil and do
away with coal.

CABINET.
It seems to be conceded by all sensible
leaders of our party here that General
Harrison will desire Mr. Blaine to accept
the portfolio of state, but it is not felt to be
as certain that he can be induced to .accept
the premiership owing to his advancing
years and craving for rest and relief from
exhausting work and care. Still the surest
way to make Mr. Blaine accept the place
is for the democratic and especially the
mugwump press, like the New York Times
and Evening Post, to keep up their malig-
nant and wanton abuse of this nation’s fore-
most republican leader and sultcsman.
General Harrison, however, Is not a “green-
horn” in politics and statesmanship as
President Cleveland was when he was called
on to make up a cabinet, and our President-
elect will be abundantly able to select such
cabinet ministers, when the time arrives, as
shall be best for the country, the great rc-
publican party, and for himself; and our
friends the enemy can save themselves the
waste of much unnecessary breath by leav.

our dear friend, for Girard B. Scranton
was one of my dear friends. When I
came to New York in 1869 be was one of
the first who held out his hand to welcome
me, and as I looked down in his honest
face each Sunday I knew I had a true
friend, and so I always found him. lle
was a man whose Word was never doubt

man of wonderful strong will. And when
the fatal disease came he fought death

would have given up, but he never. My
friends, he was my true, dear friend."

‘ Connecticut's Insane.
The annual report of the trustees of the
State Hospital for the Insane at Middle-
town has just been issued. It shows that
there were 1,292 patients in the institu-
tion at the end of the fiscal year just
ended. Of this number 724 were women.
Eighty—six per cent. have been insane
longer than twelve months and have thus
passed the limit within which most recov-
eriesoccur. More than half of the Innu—
her have been inmates of the institution
longer than five years. Of the whole
number admitted since the opening of the
hospital nearly 21 per cent. have recover-
ed after being under treatment usually
several months, exceptionally several
years. The 'nmjority _of these persons
wercfbrought to the hospital within six
months after insanity developed, and had
never been insane bcforc. 'I'llns of the
187persons who rccovcred lhcir reason
during the last two years 116 (62 per cent)
had experienced their first attack of Insan-
ity 3 the second, 9 the third, 4 the fourth,
5 the fifth, 3 the sixth, 1 the seventh, and
in 16 cases the history of previous attacks
was. unknown. During lbclast year alone
227- nIItIVcs of the United States Were ac —
milled ; but the parents of only 178 Were
born here; 144 were of Irish parentage,
25 of German, 20of English, and the rest
Swedish, Scotch, Italian and other na—V

GENTLEIII-zu :—As is customary at the comple-
tIon of all public works of any magnitude, I
deslre to submit the following relative t) the
system of servers now completed, and to the
mulntcnance of same In the future. Sewers
have been constructed and are In use at the
present time, In one following named streets:
Main street (total length), Unlon avenue (about
one-half), the cnIIre length of Plymouth and
Center avenues. West Maln,|Summer,:Chestnut, .
echooIJont and Elegant streets, It porllon oI 1
Cross street,thc entire length of Wllton avenue,
that portlon of Catharine street west. of the roll-
road, Fair street from Catharine street north to
the summit of the lull,Grund street about one-
half, the entlrc length of High, Camp, Knight,
France, State, Park and Lewls streets, that por-
[1011 of North avenue between Mom and France
streets; lhc Westport turnplke from State street
to the residence of William B. Newcomh, East
avenue, from state street south to Lockwood
avenue. and from Ilendrlcks street south to the
Borough line, and Hendricks street. On the west
side of the Borough the following streets have
been sewered their enllre length: Water, Wall
Leonard, Chapel, llarhor. Academy, Merwm‘
Orchard, Maple. Maple street cxlenslon, Arcli
and DIvInIty streets. Isaacs Place has been sew-
cred as far as opened; Blver street the same
from the tunnel north to Edward Glover’s shop,
the entlre length of Mec'lanlc street, Beldcli
avenue, South Unlon avenue, Franklin avenue
Mott avenue, Washlngton and Union Places. Iii
West avenue sewers have been constructed In
all that portion of the avenue not heretofore
accommodated by the old West avenue sewer
and Prospect avenue from West avenue td
Franklin avenue. In connection with the new
sewers, there has been constructed 350 man-
holes for the purpose of access to the sewers for
Inspection and for cleaning, and also for ven-
tIlatIon. The old West avenue sewer that has
been In use forthe past I2 or 15 years, was not
provided with surface man-notes. 'I‘o tnls sewer
I have added four man-holes, the Elm street
seweerau-holes, and to tlle Cross street sewer
3lnnn-Iloles. The old sewers In Elm and Cross
streets I found In good conditlon and clean.
From the old West avenue sewer I have
hadremovcd agreat quantity of sand, the same
oeIng the wash from catch basins, etc. There
has been constructed and connected with the
new sewers 109 large sized I latch Baslns, and 11'
old Catch Basins have been reoullt and put In
good order. The outlet of Cross street sewer
nuslbeen rebullt. There were In use before
commencing the new sewers 30 small receiving
basins. some of these have been replaced by
Catch Basins, and the balance have been re-
palred and are still In service. The brook run-
ning Into Cnptaln Lamb’s meadow has been con-
necled wItIl the sewer In front of the James
Fluney place. and all danger of damage from
overllowmg, at Cross and Elegant streets has
been removed. This brook should be emplled
Into the Maln street sewer at a point near Ilenry
street, but In doing so an extra large catch basin
should be constructed In the meadow. The
cost of coustructlug tlus catch-basin and the
expense of cleaning the same should be borne
by the owner of the meadow and not by the
Borough. Some of the streets through which
sewers have been built are not at the present
tlme provided with catch basins, principally
on account of the streets not belng graded and
curbed. I here memlou the streets In whlch
catch basins should be built. as soon as the
necessary grading has been done and the curb
set: Center avenue, Plymouth avenue, Falr
street. Grand street, the extreme westerly end
of Iloytstreet,1saacs Place whenever the same
Is continued to Leonard street, ltivcr street.
The north end of Mam street sewer has no catch
basin connected with It. but whenever this sewer
Is extended Inlo‘ Wilton road It Will receive
the surface water that M” be collected In the
depression In the clrcus lot, so called. Unlon
avenue sewer, like North Main street, Is wltbout
catch basin connections. But will when extended
receive an abundance of surface water. Lewls
street sewer and a portion of Park street sewer
are wlthout catch basin connection.
As there Is Ittlle water to
collect near these sewers, they undoubtedly
wIIlhacho be cleaned by water from the hy-
drants. There Is also a short piece of 12 Inch
sewer :n Franklin avenue at the head of Unlon
Park that should be cleaned occaslonally by the
Borough waler. There were also a number of
summits where surface water cannot be collected.
The sewers In these places should be cleaned at
stated intervals by Borough water. These polnts
are as follows: Falr and Grand streets, the north
on: of Main street, Plymouth, Center and Union
avenues until the same are provided wnh catch
basins. ngh, Arch and River streets. This work
I have had the Inspector do about once in every
three months since the sewers have been in use.
The trunk sewers should be examined about once
In two mouthsaud all large collections of sand
removed, for It Is Imposslble to prevent Some dirt
from entering and lodging III the sewers. especial-
ly In the lighter grades. The Main street and the
Wallstrcet trunk sewers had been constructed
and In use one year when I had them cleaned.
I found that sand had collected in the following
places: At the foot of the hill near West Main
street, about four cartloads; at the junction of
School and Mom streets, about four cartloads.
I found the sewer very clean from School street-
to apolnt just below lloyt street. From “on
street tolhe outlet about ten cartloads of sand
were pushed Into the river. From the Wall street
hrlck sewer about the same quantity of sand and
street wash was removed. The current of water
running through the Main street sewer being so
much greater than that In the Wall street sewer.
I think that the heavy deposit Is in a measure
kept back and lodges In the Wall street. sewer
near the outlet, all of which Is easily removed by
pushing ahead out of the outleI. The Water and
Wall street trunk sewer 1 found very clean, not-
wllbstaudlng theta great quantity of sand and
gravel was at one tlme washed Into this sewer,
occasioned by a break In the 12 Inch water main
on Belden avenue. All pipe sewers are at the
p‘reseuttlme clean and in good working order.
'111e pipe sewers most likely to collect heavy
deposits are the Arch street and Franklin avenue
sewer and the Park street sewers. These I have
kept clean by flushing, etc. Should street wash
or heavy deposit of any kind become lodged in the
small plpe sewers between man-holes, the same
should be stirred up and washed along into the
larger sewers where it can he collected and re-
moved.
should a tight stoppage occur in any ofthe
pipe sewersacompetent person will locate and
remove the same without Injury to the sewer.
If the sewers are regularly inspected any de-
posit will be found and the same can be re-
moved before a stoppage occurs. I anticipate
no trouble of tlus kind, but the cleaner our
sewers are kept the better will be the result
derived.
That portion of the brick sewer under the
Danbury and :Norwalk rallroad should be regu-
larly_lnspectcd so that nothing mav go amlss
there. The tlme to Inspect this polnt Is when a
tram Is passing. The work was made extra
heavy and strong, and I have found everything
In good order at the tlme of Inspection, and
undoubtedly It will remain so, as the work has
been made double as strong as like work on this
same road.
'It Is essential that the sewers be In charge of
acompetent person. One who understands the
coustructlon and care of sewers. He should be
provlded with suitable tools to work with, such
as a candle boat for examlnlng the Inside of
small sewers,a ladder. a sewer wheel barrow,
pIck,shoveI,paIls, rope, trowel, etc. Fire nose
enough to enable him to thoroughly flush such
sewers as may need It. _ He should examine all
sewers regularlv, and If any are found not In
working order, he should report the same to
the :sewer committee. He should locate the
water main wherever the same may be uncovered
In making connections with the sewer.
In the spring of the year, after the frost has
come out of the ground, he should examine all
man holes and catch basins, and repaIr what-
ever cement polnting that may have been
thrown out by the frost. In examlnlng the
brick sewers, he will and that the cement polnt-
Iug has In places been Washed out at catch basin
connections, at the point of junction of branch
sewers With the main sewer, etc. Most of the
repairs of this klnd he wlll be able to do himself
wlth the assistance of a laborer, or If of any con-
sIderable amount he should be furnished a brlck
layer to assist him. Portland cement should be
used In allrcpalrs of this kind. I am desirous
that the sewers should be kept clean and in goon
workII g order, for] think that our system Is an
extra good one. And I see very Blue to change
hadl to construct it over again. Since the com~
Ineucemeut of the work I have received valuable
counsel and assistance in many ways from Mr.
Robert Van Bureu. In making the general sewer
map he voluntarily examined and revised the
whole work, and during construction I have
always found him willing to help me whenever I
went to him for advice. Ills services have cer-
tainly been of great value to our borough. I
desireto acknowledge the support given me by
my. assistant Mr. William Bruorlon during the
erlorrrance of the work. I have found him to
ave been thoroughly competent and perfectly
wuhnglo perform whatever I reqnlred of him.
Ialso desire to acknowk‘dge the support given
by Mr. Pmueo, and also by the Inspectors,
gig-plats. Owens, Murphy, Curtis, ’1 hompson and
l .
And now before closing I particularly desIrc to
call your attentlon to a point that I feel should be
looked Into Immediatelyand that is to the danger
that the Cross street sewer will be In of becoming
rendered useless on account of the liability of the
roots of the large willow tree on land helonglng
to Samuel Elwood, stopplng the sewer completely.
In Jersey City and In Brooklyn, whole blocks of
sewers have been rendered useless by the fine
roots of Willow trees entering the joints of sewers
and finally closing the opening. one smallroot will
find a pinhole In the cement joruts, and from this
thousands of smaller roots will branch out, event~
nally closing the entIre pipe. Three years ago I
was ordered bv the borough to take up and re-
place wIth a larger one the old cement pipe sewer
at this very same point. I found that the cause of
the stoppage was occasloued by the roots from
the same tree. I removed roots that had run
along InsIde the plpes n dlstance of fifty feet from
the point of entrance. Last week Inspector
Murphy-went Into the 21-inch sewer at this point,
and found that the roots had entered the pipes
not-Ivlthstandiu the greatest care was ta en
possible In lay In: It. They were easily cut off
and removed, the sewer belng large enough for
him to enter and do the work. The sewer proper
at thls place ls Ilfleeu inches In diameter, and
therefore not large enough for a person to go
through. Should the roots enter the same It Wlll
hgrneccssary to dig the plpe up In order to clean If.
he lengths an slzes of the system now built
and In use are given fully In the annual report
rendered by Mr. Seymour. I therefore will not
mention the same here.
Any Information that I can furnish will be
freely van at any tlme to any one of this or any
future ourt of Burgesses. I desire to thank the
Court for the support and assistance that they
have at all Ilnles given me. I also desire to thank
the clerk of the court for the servlces he has
rendered during the performance of the work.
I ours very respectfully.
