DEAR GAZETTE :—Thc mills of congress. as well as the mills of the gods. grind slowly. Aside from the somewhat lively debate on the Oklahoma bill and Holman’s omnibus bill to admit New Mexico along with the Dakotas, there has been only the dreary monotony of the consideration of usua appropriation bills to give interest to either House. CABINET. The cabinet makers are more busy than ever. The advent here last week of Mr. Warner Miller, and the pure accident of his returning to New York in company with Senator Teller, set the wiseacres all agog, and numberless ingenious creations of the brain have been the results. Josh Billings once remarked it was a great deal better to know a few things that were true than a far greater number that were not, and this truism is certainly in order in this cabinet speculation. The real facts are that General Harrison himself does not know what may be the,exact composition of his cabinet advisers, and surely the people can wait with him just three weeks longer. There is one combination given out that commands a more general approval among republican senators than any other that has been mentioned. It is to give Mr. Windom the treasury; Senator Evarts, the attorney—generalship, so that Warner Miller may take his seat in the Senate here, and then to make the Hon. Thomas Plait collector of the port of New York. Of Mr. Windom, as treasurer, it may be said he is an able lawyer, clear and level headed, and a man who never gets “rattled,” and one whom the thrifty bankers of Wall street could never use as a foot mat to wipe their financial heels upon. Moreover he has already had a creditable experience as the head of that monster department. But he is opposed on the ground that he is "a man without a country.” Office aspirants in both Minnesota, where his home is, and New York, where his temporary office is, fight against his selection for fear that such an appointment would be charged to their state, and thus reduce the quota chances for omces for others. Of Mr. Platt, it may be said, that no man is likely to be selected as collector of the port as compe- tent as he for that place, while Senator Evarts as attorney-general would be un- surpassable. POSTAL. There are over two hundred postmaster nominations now before the Senate com mittee awaiting confirmation. Probably not one in ten will be reached. The com- mittee holds but one session a week, and in the nature of things but two more can be held before the end of this the last session of the fiftieth congress. Ergo, there is no more chance of the nomination of Mr. Snyder to be postmaster at South Norwalk being reached and acted on than there is of Mr. S. going to heaven by translation. It is simply a physical im— possibility. But it. is just as well. Mr. Dunning, who has had long and ample experience and proved his competency by extended service, will continue until such time as the new republican administration send in the name of some man belonging to the household of faith. The extra ’ partisan act of President Cleveland is placing all the officers in the postal service under civil service rules in order to con— tinue in office some twenty—five thousand democrats, who have succeeded in mak- ing the postal service the nost disgraceful cverknown to this nation. The saddest part of this dcmoralization is the fact that it is the result not so much of incompe- tence as excessive intempersnce. Drunk— enness among great numbers of demo- cratic “heelers,” put into the postal service, has prevailed to an extent almost staggering belief, and calling down the condemnation of honest demo. crats as well as of republicans. The congressional investigation of the com- plaints made against the blunders, losses and utter dcmoralization of the service, resulted in showing, in repeated instances, that the same postal car clerk had gone out in charge of a car loaded with mails so drunk that he neither threw out nor took in mails for the stations where his train halted, and he had returned next day with his unloaded car to the starting place. 0f one thing the country may rest assured. This disgraceful feature of the mail service will come to a sp dy ter- mination under the Harrison admmistra- tion. Sober as well as competent men only will fill the offices of the postal service. . Saturday your correspondent was noti- fied that a letter mailed him December 15, 1888, from Boston, and plainly addressed to Norwalk, had just been returned to that city marked “not found." As your correspondent was in Norwalk at that time, it is evident said letter, which covered a valuable remittance, never came to Nor-walk at all. But this is only one instance among tens of thousands more like it and worse. COAL TansroaTATon RATES. The hearing in the case of Coxe Bros. & Co. against the Lehigh Valley railroad company was resumed by the interstate commerce commission Friday morning. T. H. Chappcll, of New London, and Representative John H. Ferris, of South Norwalk, testified in behalf of petitioners, that unjust discrimination was made in the matter of freights in the transportation of coal. The witnesses agreed that hitti- mlnous coal operators had a material advantage in the markets over the anthra- cite dealers in that among other advan- tages they could offer the bituminous on season contracts to manufacturers, for steam purposes, and that there had been a great displacement (from 60 per cent. to 90 per cent.) of anthracite coal in conse quence. This was particularly the case in New England, of which they had a personal knowledge. The low rates on soft coal and the high rates on anthracite had been mainly instrumental in bringing about this change. T1111 ELECTORAL vorn. Senator Ingalls, president pro tem. of the Senate, is prepared to enter upon the moment ous duties which devolve upon him on Wednesday, of counting and de- claring the electoral vote. The presi- dential count this year will take place under the provisions of the new law, approved February 8, 1887, and both Houses, after first selecting two tellers each, will meet in the flouse of Repre- sentatives, the president of the Senate presiding. Mr. Ingalls will open the cer- tificates and hand them to the tellers, who will compile the result and hand it back to him, and he will then declare it and the ceremony will be over. This, of course proceeds on the assumption that no objection will be raised to any certifi- cate. In case of objection, which happily is not probable iliis time, the Houses must retire separately and pass upon the question. The hour of meeting for this purpose is 1 o’clock. nxTaA snsston. The conviction that an extra session will he called grows stronger as the end of the present one draws to a close. NICARAUGUA CANAL. The llouse bill incorporating the Nicaragua Canal company is now before the President for his signature. Just as soon as the President signs the bill, the company will meet in New York and organize, and it is contemplated to begin work on the canal by the 1st of April next. Elk-Senator and ox-Secretary of tho Treasury Windom is president of;the company. SAMOA. The secretary of state has made himself still more ridiculous in the Samoan affair by demanding the resignation of our U. S. consul because of the testimony he gave under oath to tell the truth and the whole truth before the Senate committee on ’foreign relations. Senator Frye, from whose state this consul comes, bitterly denounced the dastardly act. “Mr. Sewall," he said, “is a good officer, and has acted very discreetly. When under examination by the committee ’he gave no testimony except that was drawn from him by my questions. The Germans will be delighted with his enforced resignation. When he was leaving‘Ssmoa they told him he would never go back there as consul-general, and his removal is their triumph. Four months ago Mr. Sewall receiveda letter from Secretary Bayard" complimenting him vcry highly for his ability and fidelity, and two months ago, when I tried to have his leave of» absence extended, the secretary declined to com- ply, on the ground that Mr. Sewall was so much needed in Samoa, and that it was absolutely necessary that he should start for his post immediately. President Cleveland, I think, is not likely to nomin- ate a successor to Mr. Sew'all. He could hardly expect that the senate would con- firm the nomination. If 1 have any in- fluence with the next administration Mr. Sewail will go back to Samoa as consul- general.“ rassomrs. Rev. Colonel Anderson preached two able and earnest discourses at the Rev. Dr. Noble’s East Presbyterian church, this city, yesterday. Rev. and Mrs. A. have been enjoying their visit immensely, and probably nothing interested them, more than an early Visit to the, great Washington market with its crowds '51 ancient contrabrands, most of whom were ex- slaves and come to market to sell berries, vegetables, sassafras bark and the like. The Rev. Colonel leaves us 'on Wednesday to meet a Grand Army. en—_ gagement at Winsted, where he is to match his eloquence with Generals Dan. Sickles and Stewart L. Woodford. Dr. M. B. Pardec is here, a guest of Mrs. Havens, his sister-in-law. His health ’ is said to be slowly improving. Hon. William D. Bishop, president of the Eastern Railroad Association, here in attendance upon its annual meet- ing last week. John Cotter, Esq., and John H. Ferris, of Norwalk; G. A. Faxon and W. B. Clark and wife. of New Haven, were here last week, . Governor Hill's visit here last week was the occasion of a pronounced ovation. It was made comical by reason of President Cleveland's running away to New York, so as not to meet the governor who got elected while Grovor didn’t. Our “strawberry blonde," Congressman Bob Vance, went over to New York Saturday to attend a Tilden meeting. Mr. George Blickensderfer, of Stamford, is here looking after his patent for type. writers. Mr. B.’s typewriter is said to be the greatest invention 01 the day, and is expected to revolutionize all present type-I writing machines on the market. Mrs Senator Platt, who has been detained in Connecticut by reason of ill- ness all the session, joined her husband, the senator, at the Arlington last week much improved. The Senate adopted an amendment to the legislative bill increasing the salary of Assistant Doorkeeper Isaac Bassett five hundred dollars. It road: “So long as the position is held by the present occu- pant, who has been in the service of the Senate fiftycight years, and who is as modest as he is faithful." At Mr. Hoar‘s suggestion, however, the name of Mr. Bassctt was mentioned in the amendment, “so as to embalni the name of that excel- lent and honest public servant in the annals of the Senate." Senator Spooncr satirically remarked that any man who could stand so many years of senatorial debate and vitiated atmosphere should have his salary ten-folded. Mr. Bassctt is a native of New London, Conn., and was appointed a Senate page through ‘lhc in- fluence of Daniel Webster. Congressman—elect Washington F. Wil- cox, of the New Haven district, was es- corted to the Treasury this morning, where Chief Relyea showed the statesman about Uncle Samuel's strong cash box in the absence of Treasurer l-lyatt, who is at home in Norwalk Mr. Reiyea went over to New York last Wednesday oh official business, returning Friday. lie took Miss Bertie Hyatt, daughter of the treasurer, with him. She is to visit several days in the city, and then go up to Norwalk. Treasurer Hyatt went over home Satur- day p. m., and is expected back here tomorrow. J. H. Walker and wife, of Westbrook, Conn., are here. Mr. W. was at onetime connected in business in New York with W. F. Hyatt, of Norwalk. ‘ As ever, .9..._~_.... . -. Tho Wostport Onse- Thc committee on contested elections re- ported to the senate Friday unfavorably upon the petition of Wm. B. Hubbell for Senator Catlin’s seat in the Thirteenth sena- torial district. The committee say in their report that they have fully heard the peti— tioner, and are of the opinion that he should be given leave to withdraw. They are fur— ther of the opinion that there ought not to be a recounting of ballots now in the ballot box at Westport, which contains the ballots cast for said senator and other candidates on the general ticket, in said district, at the election held in Westport last November. The committee assign as reasons for their action: First, that the evidence offered is insuffi- cient to prove a mistake in the count or to create a reasonable doubt of the correctness of the count as announced. Second, because the committee from evi- dence advanced are not sufiiciently assured that the ballots now in said box are identi~ cal with or are the only ballots cast; in that it appeared to the committee that, by the evidence, the law of the state, for safe keen- ing and preservation of ballots cast had not been complied with. The box had not been sealed until 8:30 a. m. of the day following the day which the election was held, nor had it been kept securely during the night. It had been kept in a room accessible toany person who might desire to open the box or , change the ballots in such a condition by B.. reason of its location in said room, and said want of seal, that the same could have been opened and the ballots therein changed by any designing person. ‘ - Senator Morse made a minority report in which he said he believed the evidence to be sufficient to warrant the opening of the ballot box used, and to recount all the ballots therein. He stated further that he would submit argument upon his report at a future date. Both reports were made the order of the day for to-day (Wednesday.) -——-——-o-o+————-——- Miss Ina M.

The New Hayen Register of Thursday i contains a long editorial on two or three I railroad questions which are now before the legislature awaiting action. The paper takes the consistent ground that only the best results (are obtained from railroad legislation when the relations between the railroads and'the state are preserved by means of a iigid adherence to the simplest business principles. We reprint from the article referred to a few extracts which relate to the Housatonic petition. They are as follows: “The question as to what disposition should bcmade of the Housatonic petition is not such an easy one to answer. In this case the legislature is asked to grant to this road the right to increase its capital stock in order that certain connections may be made between the several roads of what is known as the Housatonic system. This system includes the l-Iousatomc, the Danbury 85 Norwalk, the Shepaug and the New Haven 8: Derby roads. These roads intersect one another at different points, but in such a way that freight, for instance, consigned to a point near the source of the system must be carried there by a roundabout and expensive route. In event of the passage of the petition we imagine the plan to be, to extend the Derby to Bridgeport to connect with the Housatonic, and then to extend the Housatonic to connect with the Danbury & Norwalk at ‘Norwnlk. This would parallel the New New "York 85 New Haven. by land between New Haven and Norwslk. For inter-state freighting purposes it would parallel it to New York by con- necting it with the Wilson Point water route. Owing to the alliance between the Housatonic system and the New York & New England road, a parallel for freight~ ing purposes already virtually exists b...— tween New York and Boston, but extension 'of the Housatonlc system in the way proposed would open up the smaller towns like Milford, for example, not now touched by the other parallel, which we imagine to be the real purpose of the scheme. The fear that the Hotlsatonic may want these privileges as the (1011mm suggests as possible, simply to make a club of .themfwith which to force the Consolidated Tend to buy 011 what the managers them- selves admit is a parallel scheme,’ and it says that is the chief argument against the ’grant, we frankly admit appeals rather to our sense of the humorous. In the first place, the legislature has it in its power to anticipate and head off the consumma- tion of any such rascally interition. A clause forbidding such a sale or even combination, fixing the forfeiture of the Heusatonic railroad’s charter and the confiscation of its property as a penalty, would settle that part of the busi- ness. In this view of the case ‘the chief argument’ is reduced to an absurdity. This fear, moreover, will not appeal to the people of New Haven, who were treated honorably and fairly, by the men backing the parallel scheme, in thesale fulfillment of the iromclad contract is worth something asa guarantee of their good faith." .._._ ‘..>._., .. . _ Ye Musick. “Ye Old Follies Concerto" given in the Opera House on Wednesday evening, drew out a large audience and was a most enjoyable affair. Promptly a half hour late the curtain rose and ye singers marched in and took their seats. And such an array and such an army! There wasSaIly Underdonk and Peter Gimlet and Jerusha Buttermilk and Ebenezer Obejoyful and a regiment of others. And the costumes, eclipsing anything that even Soloman in all his glory ever dared to dream of. There was an overproduction of bonnets and a deplorable scarcity of bustle. John Treadwell, rigged up as Si Perkins, in a red wig and an irresistible smile. brought down the house. J. 1.. Ambler, intienched behind a false white heard that reached from his knees up to his nose, was the venerable patriarch of the chorus. Father GrimesEarlc and his better half created a diversion by coming late and having a row with the ofiicious door keeper, who declined to admit them without a ticket. Granny Grimes scolded and sputtered as vehemently as the old man, but the ticket taker was obdurate and demanded tickets or cash, and a compassionate reporter who stood near the door was about to give the old couple a press pass when the director on the stage heard the row and commanded the doorman to let ’em in. Mr. A. H. Wilcox, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., officiated vigorously as musical director, and although he has heretofore modestly refrained from putting forward any claims as a musical prodigy his performance at this time impressed his friends in the audience not only with his musical prodigiousnoss, but with his mus- cularity as well. The chorus was admirably balanced and filled the room with grateful harmony. A specially enjoyable feature was the ladies’ acme quartette, which was enthusiastically encored. Another pleas - ing number was the trio by Milchisidek Tubbs Hodshon, Aaariah Beanhill Mc- Gonegai and Ichabod Foghorn Ambler, who sang their respective preferences as to the length of a wife desired. Hodskon sang inaliigh key of a short wife, Mc- Gouegal warbled his preference for a tall ~wife, while Ambler insisted he would have no wife at all. And the more he wouldn’t have any wife the more Hodshon yearned and trilled in demi-semi-quavers that he wanted “a short wife, a short wife," and Hodshon’s hankering only served to impress McGonegal with an unutterable craving for “a tall wife, a tall wife.” Ambler grew almost frantic in his I expostulation against any wife at all, and when the song came to an end not ‘one“of them had changed his mind. The audience was not satisfied, however, and called them back to see if they; couldn’t settle the disagreement in some ‘ but to no purpose, and the singers their seats again, still divided in 'sentiment as when they started, in favor ofashort wife, a tall wife and no wife.

The man who conducts his business on the theory that it doesn‘t pay, and that he , ' can‘t aflord to advertise, truthfully says g the Burlington Republican, sets up his! judgment in opposition to that of all the best business men in the world. With a few years experience in conducting a small business on a few thousand dollars i of capital, he assumes to know more than ‘ thousands of men whose hourly transac- tions aggregate more than his do in a year, and who have made their millions by pursuing a course that he says doesn’t pay. If advertising doesn’t pay, why is it that the most successful merchants in every town, large and small, are the heav- iest advertisers? If advertising doesn't pay, who does the most business? If it doesn't pay to advertise, why do the heav- iest business firms in the world spend millions of dollars in that way? Is it be- cause they want to donate those millions of dollars to the newspaper and magazine publishers, or because they don’t know as much about business as the six-for-adol. lar “storekeeper” in a country town, who says money spent in advertising is thrown away, or donated to-the man to whom it is paid. Such talk is simply ridiculous, and it requires more than the average pa < ticncc to discuss the proposition of wheth— er advertising pays or not with that kind of a man. Ills complacent self-conceit in assuming that he knows more than the. entire business world is laughable, and reminds us of the man who proved that the world doesn‘t revolve by placing a pumpkin on a stump and watching it all night. _ fl "—— MARRIED. coon—GnunxAu—Cn Feb. 10th, 1389, at No. as Water street Norwa‘lk, by Rev.
