Prohibition.
‘ sort, of State Cenventiou of the Pro-
lllblthDlStS Ox Connecticut Was held at the
Tabernacle at L"““cnt Beach, near Nian-
tie, on Thursday and Friday u. 1..-. .,,,,,,k_
There were present among others from
Norwalk, George S. Partric, Misses Mar—
garette Lewis and Belle Doane. Rev.
Mr. Delano represented South Norwalk
and Rev. Mr. Hopkins and Edwin Hoyt
Nev.r Canaan. Messrs. Delano and flop-
kins made earnest andsloquent addresses.
The. meetings were largelyattended by the
local cottagers but there seemed a con—
spieuous lacking in the presciiCe of those
hitherto most noisy in their professions of
faith and adherence to the prohibition
principle. The speakers were earnest and
eloquent, and while denouncing high li—
censc as an invention of the devil, none
Seemed to establish their claim
that, high license did not diminish the
aint-iintJOf liquors sold or any of the
(lite miseries of intempcrauce. Indeed
they seemed to “give away” all the logic
of their claim that high license work—
ed no restraint in the use and abuse of
alcoholic stimulants, when they wound
up their arguments with the self-evident.
statement, as most. of the speakers did,
that at all events a prohibitory enactment
would outlaw the traffic and it sold in
violation of the law, it would be done as
murder, arson, theft and other crimes are
committed. The speeches were in the
main free from abuse of those friends of
temperance who cannot see through the
same spectacles the Prohibitionists do,
and this was just as it was wise, for as
Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, the noted advocate
of temperance and of prohibition truly
says: “The fact that certain men vote
for license laws does not necessarily mean
that they want liquor selling to continue.
To assert that they do is to make a foolish
and unsupportablc charge. At the same
time, if I had the making of the temper-
ance laws, instead of advocating license,
I would seek to build up a system of re-
striction ; restriction as to persons, places,
houses and general conditions, just as
strong as I could get the voters to stand.
That would be a tremendous gain in the
right direction and larger and more sweep-
1..
ing measures would surely follow.” If
prohibition could be. made to actually pro.
l‘aibit. tens of. thousands who now vote
Ocal option and license luv. s would eager-
y sustain absolutely prohibitory legisla-
ition. The older friends of temperance in
this state do not need to be told that
after the Republican party gave us the
Maine law, liquor was soon universally
sold without let or hindrance and our pro-
hibitory law proving such a worse than
failure, thousands of our earnest temper-
ance men were glad to work and vote for
our local option law. Mrs. Foster in her
able address last week at Chautauqua,
voiced the average cool and deliberate
judgment of hosts of earnest and God-
fearing temperance men and women when
she proclaimed her belief in the duty of
accepting half a loaf when otherwise no
bread could be had. Her address was a
forcible plea for moderation in temper—
agitation, and the acceptance 'of
small ryeforms where great ones are not
immediately attainable. The first object
in letllpct'tll.cc work, she argued, should
be the propagation ‘of the essential doc-
trine that alcohol is poison. This attained ,
steps should be taken for the embodiment.
of the doctrine in the laws. The history
of restrictive legislation, Mrs. Foster de-
clared, is the history of the growth of the
people toward absolute legal prohibition.
She warmly defended local option for its
reasonableness and general practicability,
and though not prepared to indorse it as
an ultimate solution, conceded that it is
an excellent thing, as far as it goes.
Then Senator Ingalls, one of the brightest
and most upright men in public life, clear—
ly evinces a mistrust, We think, in the
thorough efficacy of prohibition at the
present time in his able and interesting
article on that subject, in the current
number of the Forum. He says:
“In larceny the offense is stealing ; the
offender is the thief. Society punishes
the person who unlawfully takes and car—
ries horses away, but does not forbid the
citizen to breed horses and keep them for
sale, or for other purposes admitted to be
Iagitiniate. The malicious burning of a
dwelling is felony; we imprison the incen-
diary, but we do not forbid the building
of houses. The illicit gratification of the
sexual appetite inflicts unspeakable mis-
chiefs and maladies upon mankind ; but
to relieve society from their consequences
limitations are not placed upon the law-
ful commerce of marriage, nor is the dis-
tinction between the sexes obliberated.”
Inlikc manner he declares that “the
objection to licensing the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors, because it licenses crime, is
sentimental rather than real.” Likewise
what he calls “the assumed analogy be-
tween drinking aud slavery, so often as-
serted by the Prohibitionists,” he declares
to he “fallacious and sophistical.” Indeed
says Mr. Ingalls, “it is not lawful to hold
a human baing in bondage. even for med—
icinal, scientific or mechanical purposes.
The right. to sell liquors,” though, “for
these purposes,” he readily insists, “ is
admitted, and the right f0 drink them
temperately is not denied.” -
And he is obliged to admit, that in the
“localities where public opinion does not
sistain the law, it is habitually {and fla-
gr tntly disregarded, and the appetite that
craves indulgence is gratified at the sacri-
anee
fice of those moral restraints which are
the barriers and safeguards of society.”
As to prohibition or high license be ad-
mits that both methods are ineffectual to
prevent the use of alcoholic drinks, and
therefore the questiou'for each commun—
ity or State to decide is which of them
would be most effective to prevent the
abuses arising from alcohol and at the
same time relieve the individual and soci-
ety from the evils of intcmpcrancc.
But most interesting and potent of all
his ~on0nmnnf§ i: the glowmg account he
gives, even with the admitted tact that
the Kansas prohibitory law does not fully
prohibit, when he says, “under her ben-
eficient laws Kansas has abolished the sa.
Icon. The open (trainshop traffic is as ex-
tinct as the sale of indulgences. A drunk-
ard is a phenomenon. The barkeeper has
joined the troubadour, the crusader and
the mound builder. The brewery, the
distillery and the bonded warehouse are
known only to the arcliteologistfig,
And yet, as a snapper to the above
beautiful lash, in his own inimitable hu—
mor and brilliant rhetoric he prudently
adds, that while the triumph of prohibi—
tion is complete in Kansas, yet “this does
not implythat absolute drought prevails
everywhere, or that ‘social ii'i‘egation’ has
entirely disappeared.”
So that, in this muddled state of mind,
of our ablest oralors and writers on the
kindred subjects of prohibition and high
license, it is not even probable ;tl:at the
prohibitory amendment can be carried
next October in Connecticut. Then the
question of high licenses will next be in
order, to serve till the pe0p1e are educated
up to the higher standard of prohibition.

Dr. Turner.
In the death of DR. J. EDWARD TURNER
Wilton loses its most noted citizen, the
country a most energetic and capable re-
formatory scientist, his family a true
and faithful lielpnieet, and his friends a
noble benefactor, counsellor and guide.
He was a man of high attainments in his
profession, and early conceived and car-
ried rint. the humanitarian purpose of
treating alcoholism and the morphine
habit as a disease and establishing a re-
treat where such patients. until then
deemed by the best Ofphysicians as incur-
able, could be scientificallytreated. With
almost superhuman industry and energy
he canvassed the country and secured the
means for erecting and putting into suc-
cessful operation the great asylum at
Binghampton, N. Y. More than this he
made the personal acquaintance of most
of the distinguished divines, jurists, phy-
sicians, scientists and statesmen of the
country, and of securing their hearty
sympathy and co-operation in his humani-
tarian enterprise. Later on discussions
arose as to the management and control
of the institution, resulting in Dr. Turner’s
withdrawal. Of this controversy we know
little of the exact facts, but we do know
that as long as the great asylum at Bing-
liampton endures it will stand as a noble
monument to the earnest and unselfish
life work of Dr. Turner in the welfare of
that large class of our fellow beings, “of
all men the most miserab'e” and the most
to be pitied, the alcoholic and morphine
incbriates of the land. His life was a
benefaetion; his end was peaceful, and
his memory will be gratefully cherished
by his surviving fellow men.

Rev. E. A. Delano’s Farewell Sermon.
hiv. H. A. Delano, of the South Nor-
walk Baptist church, preached his fare-
well sermon on Sunday, taking for his
text the third chapter and eighth verse of
Ephesians: “Unto me, who am less than
all the saints, is this grace given that I
should preach among the Gentiles the
unsearchable riches of Christ.” The ser—
mon was full of rich thoughts, and was
an exposition of the love and goodness of
Christ and the evolution of Christianity,
and although the evening was warm, the
speaker held the large audience spell-
bound for forty—five minutes by the mag-
netism with which he seems to be en-
dowed. His whole soul seemed to shine
forth in it, and it. is said to have been his
best effort. Towards the last he pathetic-
ally alludcd to the ties of love which
hound him to the congregation. “It is
hard,” he said, “to say good-bye, and on
looking over this congregation Iain almost
tempted, if it were not too late, to recall
my resignation. It is all the work of a
woman any way, and what a woman wills
must be done. At the Chautauqua meeting
this summer I met a highly educated
wornan,one of the workers at Chautauqua.
She was from Evanston, near Chicago,
and fora whole month since then there
have been letters and telegrams, telegrams
and letters thatI must. come. I had to
say ‘Yes ’ ” After again feelingly touch-
ing upon his relations to the church, which
brought tears to many eyes, he closed
with the pretty poem by Whittier, en-
titled “My Triumph.”

The building commissioners of Bridge-
port liave discovered a long block of stores
and tenements on one of the main streets
that is unsafe. They have made a report
to the mayor in which they say the block
is a terrible deatlitrap, in which a hundred
lives might be sacrifieced in a moment.
The block has been slowly sliding away
from its foundation and now is held up by
another building which itself has begun to
give way. More is evidently a case in
which immediate action is neccessary.
The mayor or the constituted authorities
cannot afford to‘disregard the plainly ex—
pressed warning of the commissioners who
are presumably men abundantly qualified
to fill their positions. They cannot now
say they did not know of the danger:—

ities that hayifcver victims have a super-
fluity Of brain matter and that “only those
who have an excess of brain matter over
common mortals can enjoy the privilege
of having hay fever.” This conclusion, it
is argued by the Sun, seems to be justified
by the character of the members of the
Hay Fever Association, which will hold
its annual convention at Bethlehem, in
the White Mountains, on August 27th, and
which is composed of men of note and
people of unusual mental endowments.
Those of us who are addicted to the hay
fever habit find a balm in this theory.

The “Dutch contributor” who fixes the
Record’s “sour krout” should go back to
“Hash.” llasli offers opportunity for a
more “infinite variet ’,” a more conglomer—
ate intermingling of odds and ends to an
appetiziiig result. Hash is susceptible to
spice and palatable seasoning; sour krout
is fermentation, ergo decay, ergo rot.
Hash may please as many tastes as it has
component parts; sour krout never—-
there is a repulsive sameness about it
unknown to hash. So with the Dutch
contributor’s recent mixtures; they are
simply strained scoldings of this column.
Evidently his intellectual larder is running
low. He should confer-with the steward
of a canal boat and replenish. Variety is
the Spice of hash, but sour krout will none
of it.

What is there to all this talk about
Judge Selleck contemplating the purchase
of a residence in Bridgeport? Of course
we appreciate the repeated assurance that
in case the change is consummated “what
would be Norwalk’s loss would be Bridge-
port’s gain,” but viewed in the light of
gain and loss, where would the Judge him-
self come in ? Could he, after a lifetime
spent here, bid us good-bye without a
struggle and content himself in Bridge-
port? Bridgeport is a pleasant place in
which to live, no doubt, but what shall it
profit a man if he gain the whole world
and be obliged to live outside of Norwalk?

I showed my sister’s husband the other
day in a neWSpaper a quotation from
Theodore Roosevelt as follows: “There
isn’t an idea in a lio‘gshead of beer.” My
sister’s husband sneered and said:
“Roosevelt is a crank. Of course too
much beer befuddles the brain, but just
enough beer makes the ideas flow with a
copiousness that is astonishing. To the
man who is exhilarated to just; the right
extent a world of fancy opens ; he sees all
things tinged with a rosy hue and feels a
desire to be at peace with all the world ;.
he is full of poetry and his soul is thrilled
with music; nothing is beyond his grasp
in art, science and philosophy, and all
things in the realm of thought are laid
bare before him, plain and simple; his
ideas crowd one another in a ceaseless
whirl like snowflakes in a storm; he feels
equal to any intellectual achievement; no
social, political, philosophical or other
problem is too deep for his irresistible
logic to penetrate. No ideas in beer?
Why, Rosie, beer is full Of ideas.” My
only reply to his gibbering tribute to the
vile stuff was “Rats l”

My Sister‘s husband is getting to be a
base ballcrank'and a fisherman. When
he isn‘t witnessing the national‘ game
somewhere, lie is off fishing, although he
seldom catches anything worth fryinor.
He offers to supply me with fish stories
for the ramblings, but Iadvise him to give
them to that Dutch contributor.

My sister’s husband thinks he’s a philos—
opher. Here is one of his gems: “I
always notice,” he says, “that those who
are the most violent in their indignation
when they imagine their honor has been
reflected upon arc the ones who who stand
most in need of vindication.”
Let Us Have Pure Water.
The time has come when the people of
the borough should insrst on having pure
public water and not longer be compelled
to drink the discolored fluid of rare
qualities that they have so long swallowed.
South Norwalk has, by accidental causes,
been compelled to construct an immense
gravel filter, and will, when their new
reservoir is completed and connected with
their present mains, have pure, sparkling
water. Ata small expense a gravel em-
bankment can be constructed half way
from the dam to the head of the reservoir,
from which the water is drawn to fill the
distributing reservoir in this borough, that
will effectually filter and purify all of the
water that comes down our mains and
give our citizens what is so essential to
their health and comfort, pure, crystal
clear water. If necessary let us havca
borough meeting and instruct the water
commissioners to proceed at once to con-
struct such filter.-—-Record.

ED. GAZETTE :-—As one of PROFESSOR
Jounsron’s very many friends, who must
always consider it a privilege and an honor
to have known him, I want to add my
little word of tender and grateful remem-
brance of him whose name we all delight
to honor. Thrown by circumstances, and
those of his own generous making, into
daily contact with him for a year in the
same house as a teacher, there was ample
opportunity for becoming familiar with
his largeness of heart as well as breadth
of intellect. He was generous to a fault.
Whether his help were asked upon a
knotty point in Latin, or a bit of advice
sought upon a matter of business, his keen
judgment and ready sympathy responded
immediately, and his open handed liberal-
ity was patent to all.
It has been the privilege of many young
people ofNorwalk to sit under his instruc-
tion, and surely they can testify to his
earnest and whole souled efforts in their
behalf, whether, at the time, they fully
realized the greatness of the intellect that
was spending itself in their service. It is
not in the power of every man to so warm
the heart of friend and win and keep the
love of pupil as did Professor Johnston in
Norwalk as well as Princeton. His liter—
ary work was as thorough and accurate
as his manuscript was clear. His publish-
ers have been reported to confess that
they received no manuscript from any
author so free from erasures and inter-
linings as was his.
To know such a. man is indeed an edu-
cation and to have his friendship a privil-
ege. Many a helpful aphorism that fell
from his lips will be a life-long reminder
of the friend, who having received so
freely, has given as freely. And now,
when it almost appears that he had paused
on his way to the better land, toward
which he was rapidly pressing, that he
might write-one more kind word of en-
dorsement and encouragement for a friepd
to whom he had always shown the most
generous consideration, knowing as he
did how much such a line from him would
mean when written by a pen dipped in a
venerable Princeton inkwell, it is with
a full heart that this slight tribute is
added to the many richly laden offerings
from the different centers of learning
and influence where he was known and
loved. “FAIBYIEW.”
Montclair, N. J., July 25, 1889.
A Laborer in the Vineyard.
“Yes,” said the evangelist, after biting
a large chew from a plug of black tobacco,
and expectorating with marvelous accu—
racy in the eye of a slumbering dog, “I’ve
been it getting there with.both feet lately.
The last town I stopped at I raked in
twenty converts in one night, and you bet
that’s big .work. I get right down to ’em
and let ’em know that if they don’t waltz
up to the mourner’s bench and get re-
ligion they’ll be everlastingly in the soup,
and I generally fetch ’em. Of course
there’s always a lot of chumps you can’t
do anything with, but they don’t count
for nothing. I used to be a heavy weight
slugger, and I’ve had a book printed
describing the scraps I’ve been into.
When the services is over I sell books to
the chaps what’s been saved and make a
little stuff that way, but there aint no
money in this preaching business. A
feller’s got to do it out of pure love for his
fellow man, just like I do it. I want to
save as many as I can and give the devil
the grand razzle-dazzle, and all the reward
I ask is to have a front seat in heaven
when I turn up my toes. Well, I’ll have to
leave you. I’m going around to see a
backslider what was converted a week
ago, and when I read the riot act to him
you bet I’ll snake him back into the fold.
So long.” The noble and self—sacrificing
man then moved oflf on his grand mission
humming a simple hymn, the burden of
which was to the efiect that while the
bed bug has no wings at all he gets there
just the same. Truly, the world can
never be plunged into utter darkness
while such good men throw themselves
earnestly into the work of salvation.—
