EDITORIAL LETTER-
WASHINGTON, D. 0., May 27, ’89.
DEAR GAZETTE z—Promptly upon the
ending of the centennial celebration of
Washington's inauguration, the press and
large numbers of the leading and public
men of the country seemed instinctively
to fall into an earnest advocacy of a fitting
celebration of the four hundredth anni-
versary of the discovery of this continent
by Columbus, in 1892. A bill in due form
for this purpose was unanimously reported
by the house committee on foreign rela-
tions to the last house. Among other
provisions it provided :—
That a permanent exposition of the
three Americas may be established at .the
national capital under the jmnt auspices
of the forty-six states and territories and
sixteen independent nations of the-Ameri-
can continent. That space for said per—
manent exposition of the three_ Americas
be assigned, under the direction of the
President, in some unoccupied govern-
mental reservationin the city of Washing-
ton, as follows: _
Space for a permanent State and Terri-
torial building for a permanent exhibit of
the representative history, resources, arts,
and industries of the forty-six states and
territories of the United States, said space
to be available whenever said states and
territories, or a majority thereof, shall
make the necessary a propriailons for the
expenses of said buil ing and exhibit. .
Space for a permanent three Americas
building fora permanent exhibit of the
history, antiquities, resources arts and
industries of the fifteen Spanish-American
republics, the Empire of Brad, the _Do-
minion of Canada, and the various
colonies of North, Central _and South
America, said space to be available when-
ever said nations and colonies, or a ma-
' jo’flty thereof, shall make the necessary
up ropriations for the expense of said
building and exhibit. ‘
Asuitable site for a statue of Christopher
Columbus.
That when the plan shall have been
formed the President of the United States
is authorized to invite the several states
and territories of the United States and
the several nations of the three Americas
to ap oint their respective members of
the a visory board, and to participate in
said exposition in the manner prov1ded.
The report of the committee stated. in
part :—
That the various nations of the
American continent have expressed a
desire to commemorate the coming four
hundredth anniversary of the discovery
of the New World by Christopher Colum-
bus. .
In 1883 King Alfonso XII, of Spain,
stated: “It is an event in which all the
world would be interested, and in which
the leadin nations might unite."
Senor ‘astelar said upon the same
occasion: “I would have all the nations
interested so combine as to make this
anniversary the most memorable and the
greatest ever held in the history of the
world." .
More recently, on the 15th of July, 1887,
the Spanish minister of state, Senor Don
S. Moret, informed Hon.J. L. M. Currey,
our minister to that country, that the
council of ministers had decided “that
Spain will take the initiative in celebrat-
ing in the most solemn manner the cen-
tennary of the discovery of America in
the year 1492;" also “that Spain is ready
at the same time to take part in any other
celebration and solemnity which may be
undertaken on the American continent to
commemorate the great event.” .
A National Board of Promotion, com-
posed of the governors of most of the
states and territories, the mayors of lead-
ing cities, the OfiiCers of boards of trade
throughout the country. and many other
prominent citizens, representing all of the
forty-six states and territories, have dur-
ing the past two years, created a strong
public sentiment in support of the move.
ment, and have submitted to congress a
carefully considered plan for a national
and international celebration in 1892 in
honor of the fiuadri-centennial of the dis-
covery of the ow World by Columbus.
Following the report was an appendix
Of fifty—one pages containing the argu~
meats in support of the project, resolu—
tions of national and international con-
ventions, resolutions of boards of trade
and city councils, letters from governors
of states and territories, letters from
American ministers, action of the govern-
ment of Spain, and a list of the officers and
members of the Board of Promotion,
arranged alphabetically by states and
territories. Our then Gov. Lounsbu‘ry
sent the following endorsement from
Connecticut through his private secre-
fury:—
Gov. Lounsbury directs the to say in
reply that he accepts with pleasure the
appointment conferred, and trusts that
nothing will interfere with a grand suc-
cess in the work suggested.
The governors of all other states and
and territories, and presidents of hosts:of
boards of trade from all the leading cities
and towns of our Union, sent equally
strong approvals. The Boards of Promo-
tion have fixed upon the “white lot’_’ below
the Treasury, and the many acres of re-
claimed ground on the Potomac flats
south and west of the Washington monu-
ment as the proper location for the series
of immense edifices that will be required
to fitly'represcnt the growth and develop-
ment of the United States and the states
of Central and South America, which
latter have cordially promised to join in.
this grand exposition, which, as it is to
fitly commemorate the greatest event in
the world‘s history, should not be at-
tempted unless madc, as it undoubtedly
will be, the most august and momentous
exhibition the world has ever witnessed.
Not only will the products of the three
Americas be presented to view, but the
idea of transcendent impc rt is that it is to
inaugurate the establishment of an A meri-
can hemisphereal policy of peace, country
and universal interchange of commodities
and enlarged social and commercial rela-
tions with these sister Amcrlcan nations.
It is expected the coming congress will
liberally appropriate the necessary means
to consummate this grand design. In this
project little Connecticut has the greatest
possible interest. Her inventive and man-
ufacturing development is in advance of
any state in the Union, and our artisans,
manufacturers and skilled mechanics
should at once turn their attentions to
preparations for realizing the full possi-
bilities and advantages of such an exhibi-
tion as this will afi'ord them, for it may
safely be set down as one of the things
sure to be.
APPOINTMENTS.
The rush for office is measurably abat-
ing. The President and executive depart-
ments evidently being determined not to
hurry or be hurried in the matter of turn-
ing out demoerats or putting in of repub-
licans. The “snivel service,” as the late
Roscoe Conkling used to sneeringly term
it, or the “swivel service” as the editor
of the Norwalk Record most aptly denom-
inated it, after studiously observing the
juggleries adopted to evade the ridiculous
law by the Cleveland administration, is
no doubt responsible for nearly all the
present chagrin and disappointments of
our ofiice thirsting republican friends.
When it is remembered that no President
was more pronounced than Washington
in his belief that only those friendly to his
administration and the party that placed
him in power should be appointed to or
hold ofilce under him, and the further
fact that this nation grew and prospered
and‘ presented the best civil service in the
whole world for a period of eighty years,
the importance and the need of our pres-
ent unjust and absolutely ridiculous civil
service law can only be appreciated by
those whose maudlin breath of charity
extends to the selection of church officers
of one denomination to perform duties in
churches of directly opposite faith and
practice.
Senator Cullom is said to be a bit
"riled” because the Pri sident has appoint-
ed a collector for Springfield, the city of
his home, against his wishes. It used to .
be the unwritten law that a member of
congress in political accord with an ad-
ministration should designatc the ap-
pointees within his congressional districts,
but that in towns or cities where the U.
S. senator "Sided he should nominate
postmasters and other ofiiccrs located at
his place of residence. The President
seems, in several instances, to have
ignored this old~time rule. Had it been
tried upon him while he was a U.'S.
senator he would have been the quickest
man in the senate to have resented the
seeming aflront, so as he is eminently
fair and just be will not complain if the
Illinois senators “kick” just a little at
what they deem it sort of indignity. A
strict adherence to the good old system
would frequently save .much irritation,
although in one noted instance, the ap-
pointment of a postmaster in the. Second
Kansas district, adherence to the~rule has
awakened an intensebittcrness through-
out the district. A lubberhead named
Funston engineered his nomination and
election as successor to the late Dudley
C. Haskell, a man whom everybody loved
for his goodness and revered for his great
ability, his unswerving integrity and un-
selfish devotion 10‘ duty. The widow of
Haskell was a candidate for the Lawrence
post ofiiec, the city of her own and her
late husband’s home. She was endorsed
by about all the prominent republicans of
Lawrence and its environments. Her
appointment was desired, by both the
Kansas senators and all of her late hus-
band’s colleagues in the house. She was
moreover the party the post office depart-
ment would greatly have preferred to
to appoint, but under the “rule” the
department had to be guided by the wish
of the incumbent congressman. though
coarse ingratc and fool that he was felt on
all sides to be. Funston wanted his own
tool, one who he thought could manipu-
late the delegatcs to the next congression-
al convention, and so Haskell’s widow,
although the candidate and favorite of the
locality of the post ofiice, was rudely
thrust aside and a henchman of the con-
gressman given the prize. The Lawrence-
Journal, the leading republican paper of
the district, in referring to, this outrage
upon the preferences of the people of
Lawrence and indignity to his eminent
predecessor’s widow, thus perforates the
cuticle of the rhinocerous hided congress-
man :—
‘ * * And this mighty Dictator, who
spurned the petition of the Wldow of
the man Lawrence loved and almost ven-
erated, beneath his boots, laughs brutally
at the humiliation he has put upon us, in
sending his hog herder to pl‘eSldO over
our politics. He is to carry Douglass
county for the Dictator, who wants per-
petual power to appoint his lackeys to the
best offices. We say to the Viceroy this
morning: When you carry this county,
we will be there. The Journal will have
a seat in front when the show begins. We
shall watch the man who Will vote to
return for life to congress, the brute who
denied the post office to the widow of
Dudley C. Haskell, because she could not
manipulate the politics of the county for
him, and gave it with the distinct under-
standing that his tool should be appointed
to the place, in order to use it in his re-
nomination. We will be with you to the
end.
With the leading paper of his party
thus denouncing his swiniih instincts,
and a resolute spirited and plucky little
Yankee woman after the scalp of the dolt,
it is safe to conclude that his congression-
al future will hereafter all be behind him.
With such a congressional representative
occupying the seat in the house once
filled by a man like Dudley C. Haskell, it
is no wonder that it is so often referred to
as ”the seat from Kansas now vacant.”
A 0091le moor MAN POSTMASTER or
WASHING/ION.
Sunday’s Capitvl has the following bit
encouragement for a worthy son of Con-
necticut, long a resident here :—
It was reported last night that Post-
master-General Wanamaker had deter-
mined to appoint Mr. Francis H. Smith,
"head of the firm of real estate and insur-
ance agents, at No. 1,222 F street, post-
master at Washington. He is a man of
over sixty years of age, having been born
March 11, 1829, and is regarded by all
who know him as a very amiable and a
thorough business man. He has not been
boomed by any of the politicians of the
place.
Mr. Smith came to Washington before
the war, and was first employed as a
reporter on the Congressional Globe when
that publication was in the hands of Mr.
Rives. Upon his retirement from the
Globe Mr. Smith took up the work of
ofiieial reporting in the House of Repre-
sdntativcs, and for him the office of
official reporter was created in 1859. In
1872 Mr. Smith resigned to accept from
General Grant, the President, a place on
the Board of Indian Peace Commissioners,
his coadjutors subsequently making him
the secretary of the board.
In 1876 he resigned his place on the
Indian peace commission. and established
the firm of Smith, Birge & 00., dealers in
gas fitters’ and plumbers’ materials. After
two years, in 1878, he retired from the
firm of Smith, Birge & Ca, and engaged
in the real estate business, and. in 1880,
his son and present partner, Mr. F. B.
Smith, was admitted into the firm. Mr.
Smith is a director of the Columbia
Hospital, and the chairman of its execu-
tive committee. He succeeded General
0. 0. Howard as president of the Y. M.
C. A., and is still deeply interested in the
work.
For many years Mr. Smith was an elder
in Dr. Sunderland’s church, but left that
church when his brother—in law, Dr.
Rankin, took the pastorate of the Congre-
gational church, at the corner of G and
Tenth streets northwest.
The coming postmaster of Washington
was born in the town of Washington,’
Litchficld county, Connecticut. He has
for many years been intimately associated
with the Postmaster—General, and has
always enjoyed the confidence and esteem
of Mr. Wanamaker. This probably
accounts for his selection to fill this
office.

NORWALK GAZETTE,
Spring greets Summer.
W. B. Hall & Co., the dry goods men
of Bridgeport, have recently made some
important transactions in silks, ladies’
jackets, Swiss fiowerings and chantilla
laces and their store is packed with eager
buyers. The Standard, cf Bridgeport,
thus speaks Of this great firm which is on
Main street, corner of Cannon:
There are many things besides worm tem-
peratures, green grass and the songs of birds
which tell as spring is merging _into summer.
None, however, do so more foreibly and agree-
ably than a dry goods store. Here, if it is well
conducted, will be found cmbrordered re-
sponses to the heart’s throb in colors” shades
of color, uality and grades of qualityun text-
ures stan ard and now which the ladies‘ hope
to encounter, but have no means of anticipat-
ing what they are likely to be. Step into the
store palace of W. B. Hall '57 Co., which for ten
years, four times each year, has undergone a
change among its varied contents. autumn
ofi‘erings replacing those of summer, Winter
those of autumn and so on to the present
moment, and a sojourn at this time there will
disclose how complete in accordance with the
firm's custom, has been the change from
s ring to summer, the fabrics assisting the
p easant Operation representipg cvery known
po ular weave in the industrial world. As if
adiiering to the claim so many support in re-
lation to time, that we have nothing it on
which to depend but the resent, this rm
have brough together on t ree floors under
one roof the evidences which show how com-
rehensive their ideas are as to what the la.
ice and shoppers generally want. From
France are dress silks from many manufac-
turers whose products grace the forms of
queens and the wives of nobleman, the shelves
of the firm containing selections from those
identical lines. making it possible for the pur-
chaser to obtain and wear a dress which the
grandest lady on the continent would have
ordered and worn had the chance to get ahead
of Hall .2 Co.’s buying agents permitted it so
to be: satee'ns, upon the designs and tints of
which French artists have been stud ing since
the close of last season, and whic number
more than two hundred distinct varieties:
studs for dresses in wool of marvelous beauty,
both as to shades of color and quality; velvcts
of rare hues; laces which never need descrip-
tion, as they speak for themselves, and loves
in kid, which only the French artificer nows
how to put together satisfactorily to the lady
wearer. Investigation of the array now pre-
sented will prove that the foreign markets
have been ransacked, and not in vain to make
the store in this centennial year complete and
ahead in all particulars, which is as it should
be; of anything preceding it._ Many of the ex-
amples of dress goods both_ in silk and wool,
are absolutely new in this market, and so
superior to those usuall presented as to make
the contrast between ight and darkness as
appliedtothem. much more than a truthful
simile. In silks alone, for which this firm
have maintained a lead, there are different
patterns and colors enough to puzzle the
mind, and induce a wonder why such things
can be. The failles, rhadames,surahs and
special guinets for which this firm are the
advocates in Western Connecticut. the gros
grains and other silks to which the lady buyer
needs no introduction, are so much more nu-
merous than ever before that more than a
brief reference to them is possible. Cotton
goods and prints among. which are exam l_es
worthy of investment by any lady; w to
goods, a hundred lines in linen for. wear and
table, ribbons without limit, Henrietta cloths-
camcl’s hair cloths, wool mixtures, flannel
sailings, elegant combination sailings not to
be found elsewhere; China and India wash
silks,foulards, many of them entirely new;
colored dress silks in infinite variet . furnish-
ingadifierent example for each uyer. All
these lines are what may be called regulars.
Supplementing them is a recent $10,000 pur-
chase of miscellaneous desirabilities, among
which are some of the most genteel and fash-
ionable goods of the season, and which are
being rapidly chosen from. Owin to the want
of adequate room to s read the rm’s tress-
urcs out as is usually one in dry goods stores,
scores of the most attractive urehases for
this season lie in piles on the s elves among
and like their loss pretending neighbors. but'a
call upon the clerks in charge will be answered
by aproduction of the sea 3 sought, and an
examination will be a revelation. Ere long
the Messrs. Hall A; 00. hope to extend their
store b takin in the floors of what is known
as the . Iii. . A. Building, that organization
being fortunate enough to have secured, al-
most, the sum which will make Dr. Warner’s
830,000 offer of a plot binding. Then the lay-
out with each season’s change which the firm
will make, will surprise even those who are
accustomed to surprises. In its seemingly
contracted state the store as it appears to« ay
has no superiors. At the rear of the store
close to the point where the expected extension
will be made, lie great banks Of genteel ready
made ladies’ garments. to be stranded upon
which brings pleasure and not sorrow, as the
style and the charactor of the article there ob-
tained and the comfort which the possession of
it will secure to the wearer will warrant the
risk of sailing in that direction. In no pre-
vious season has the stock in this department
been so complete. It was offered early, and as
a consequence there has been a general pick-
ing and choosing. but the volume, though re-
duced, will be found worthy of inspection. As
opportunity to the period Of hot sunshine,
parasols come forward for favors. This firm
ave not been unmindful in this matter, hav-
ing chosen from the cream of the market and
now ofi‘er the whole in its completeness. There
can be found the delicate and expensive lace,
the silk with and without drapery. the elegant
plain, all the forms for the woods and the sea-
side. the strcet and the church with plain and
embellished handles, and supp 'ed at the high-
est and lowes prices. Among the Yankee
notions there are objects which the shopper
meets and does not meet elsewhere, the la ter
embracing many surprises, to invest in which
enhances the pleasure of the season. . Below
stairs there is no end to the new things on
view or in stock, the like of which was never
brought together before the year of grace ’89.
Lines of curtains in lace of all the approved
makes, plain and ornamented, ordinary and
silk, rugs of the real Smyrna and the imitation
(which some say are just as cod and will last
as long.) draping silks, upho staring materials,
furniture, window and house trimmings, por-
terie stufi's with and without the fixtures, oil-
cioths, and a general variety of goods which
everybody at this season of house cleaning and
house adornment wants. Both above and
below stairs investigation shows that prices
have not been changed in the direction of an
advance, but upon all there seems to rest a
very pleasant in statu quo appearance, which
means that purchases can 9 made right.
What is going on above the street floor is
pretty well known among the class of cus-
tomers who love good fitting garments made
in the latest fashionable style. The firm’s
standing, by artificers who have pleased so
many patrons in the past, are all at their posts
of duty. In fact the force is increased, and as
to their capabilities that is a nestion on which
there lingers no question of oubt, as a firm of
this regulation can afi‘ord to emplo only the
best. he outward appearance of t a store is
a deception to many not familiar with it. In
illustration,a middle aged lady walking up
Main from State street a day or two ago.
stopped a citizen at the corner of Cannon
street, and asked, “Will you kindly tell me
where W. D. Hall & Co.’s store is 7” “Cer-
tainly,” was the reply, “You are almost in the
shadow of it,” pointing to the attractive sign of
the cardinal pornts. “Why I supposed,” the
lady said, "t 6 store was a great lgh building
from_ the graphic description I have been
reading for years about. ’ The lady then
passed within, and doubtless like the crowds
who daily had preceded her, was brought to
realize to significant character of the contents.
What the shopper wishes is good quality, good
style, fair prices, and constantly something
new. Allt ese are within the ossibilities—
indeed among the certainties at . D. Hall to
00’s. Their display just now is in truth a
spring greeting to gentle summer. It is now
in its freshness and beauty and patrons will do
well to improve the opportunities, as they are
now offered.
