INSPECTOR or ELECTIONS. Bernard Tully: The Elections. The town and borough elections occur next Monday. The republican town can— one is being held while the GAZETTE is being printed, hence we are unable to publish a list of the candidates, but it is safe to announce that the republicans of Norwaik are fully alive to the necessity of placing in the field a ticket of strength, wisdom, integrity and the qualities that win. Our democratic friends have made their town nominations,as published in the GAZETTE. The republican borough ticket, as pub- lished at the head of our editorial columns, presents a strong and uniformly accept- able list of candidates. The ticket is by no means weakened by the introduction of the names of some who have never before appeared as candidates for preferment— on the contrary the utter absence of a political “record” may be accepted in some cases as a most desirable qualifica- tion to recommend the candidates for the respective offices to which they are nominated. Mr. Edwin D. Keeler, as a candidate for warden, although he has never before aspired to political honors, is a most excellent and available candidate. No one will question his integrity, his business capacity and his solicitude for the best interests of the borough and its taxpayers. He is a progressive, patriotic republican, and the interests of the bor- ough, if entrusted to him will be in safe hands. The candidates for burgesses, Messrs. Treadweli, Meeker, Wixon, Ray- mond, George Ward Selleck and Isaac Selieck, Jr., are an exceptionally strong ticket, each individual candidate being a man of recognized ability and integrity. The balance Of the ticket is essentially strong and acceptable, and on the whole the ticket is one that ought to win. “Our friends the enemy” have, it must be admitted, placed a formidable ticket in nomination, and one which will require the enlistment of all our resources to defeat. It is headed by the Hon. James W. Hyatt for warden, who, as is well-knowu, has abundantly demonstrated his superior fit~ ness for the position, and who has repeat- edly been placed in the office by the aid of republican votes, and it will tax the inge- unity of his former republican supporters, who heretofore advocated his election and even placed him in nomination on their own ticket, to invent an excuse for not voting for him this year. With two such candidates as Keeler and Hyatt, the bor- ough may congratulate itself at the outset that whatever he the result it will assure the election of an executive in whose hands our municipal affairs will be wisely and safely administered. The burgesses on the democratic ticket also give evidence of the democratic de— termination to make a stubborn fight. They have placed some of their best available material on the slate, and submit a strong and clean ticket. This fact must in fairness, be admitted. The justice that demands that a demo- crat should be elected to succeed the retiring democrat water commissioner, Charles E. St. John, is too palpable for discussion. The board should be as nearly non-partisan as possibie,-and both parties should he represented thereon. Both the Edgar N. Sloan, John H. Lee, Edward Street, . commissioners who hold over are republi- cans. The democratic nominee, Mr. Frederick Mead, is an excellent choice, and should and undoubtedly will be elect- ed. He possesses all the requisite qualifi- cations and his patriotism, executive abil- ity and thorough knowledge of the requirements of the position, cannot be doubted. He will make an excellent water commissioner. Thus we have presented to the voters of the borough this year, two sets of tick- ets, stronger, more evenly matched, more solid and more worthy of each other-’8 steel, than we have had before in many a year. Both parties have acted in accord- ance with the recent suggestion of the GAZETTE, to put none but good men in nomination. Go to the polls then, next Monday, and vote. Vote the republican ticket if your convictiOns arcthat way. If not, vote from both tickets, and you will be assured of a capable, intelligent and solid borough government for the next term. NORWALK DOES PROHIBITION PROHIBIT P The question of engrafting the prohib- itory amendment upon the Constitution Of Connecticut is to be voted upon next week, not as a partisan measure, but as a separate and distinct issue. It seems to us that the subject has not received that consideration and discussion, its gravity merits. There are thousands of electors in this state, who would gladly vote for the Prohibitory Amendment could they be made to believe that this measure would restrict the sale of the accursed intoxicants which are filling our aims- houses with paupers, our prisons with malefactors, our communities with the ruined lives of drunkards and loading down the commonwealth with criminals, costs and taxes. This large class of voters have been made to believe that high license and local option laws have univer- sally provcn to be more effectual in sup- pressing the evils Of the liquor traffic, than the Maine Law or Prohibition. The Religious Herald, of Hartford, however, furnishes an argument from the able pen of Rev. Dr. Burdett Hart, which seems conclusive on the point that in Kansas, at least, Prohibition does prohibit. lie says: A friend who opposes the present effort to secure Constitutional Prohibition in this State, claims that Prohibition does not prohibit. Whether it does or does not is a question of fact. It is to be settled by testimony. There lies on my tablcalatc issue of the Daily Capital, published in Topeka. Kansas, the leading editorial of which is an “Effect of Prohibition in Kansas.” We can learn something from it which should have influence in the present cam- paign. It is the testimony of a man who knows that of which he affirms. This editor has lived for eight years under Constitutional Prohibition and has been a careful and shrewd observer of the workings of the law. He watched the struggle in that Empire Commonwealth, between the Family and the Saloon, between the fees of Order and Freedom and the bad powers of Rum and Crime. He saw the decisive victory of rightness and righteousness, and saw the mandate of prohibition wrought into the funda- mental law of the great State. He saw the trials of the first year under the law, the splendid effort of a great people to adjust themselves to it, the toning up of magistrates and all Officers of the law to put in execution this practical measure of wise statesmanship. He witnessed the rally and devotion Of the People, the families, the women, the churches, the scholars, to maintain their advanced and noble position before the nation, remind- lug one of the great historical crisis when the Covenanters and the Puritans stood for their principles and scaled their con- secration with their blood, when the whole Nation, a quarter of a century ago, rose for its life to the greatness of any sacrifice that might be needed. He saw the calm result in‘thc enthronement of Prohibition in the life of the people and the statutes of the state. And now he gives his testimony. We may well heed it. It is decisive and lnmiuious. He writes: “Eight years ago the first day of last May, our Prohibitory Amend- ment was put in force. And now there is no dram shop in Kansas. What a won- derful statement that is, and how proud every Kansan ought to be that it is true l There is no dram shop in Kansas. Men do get liquor here, and men do get drunk here so do men steal horses and burn houses. It would be easier to steal a horse in Topeka this day than to pur- chase a glass of whiskey to drink.” Kansas is as large as all New England, and over all that magnificent and munifi‘ cent territory dram-selling is effectually out-lawed. . This editor continues: “The greatest, the best effect, is the growing up of a generation of boys and girls that know nothing about drinking saloons except what they read or hear or see in other states when they go away. That insures a generation of temperate men and wo- men, if we do not let go our hold upon the law, and we will not. It was urged in the great conflict for Prohibition by its enemies, that the growth and pros- perity of the State would be retarded by the Amendment and that population would pour past Kansas. It is suflicrent to state that during these eight years of Prohibition our population increased sev- enty per cent., and our wealth has been nearly doubled. Our railroad mileage now amounts to hearly 9,000 miles of main track, and most of it was built since it became evident that Prohibition was, and would remain the law in Kansas.” His testimony goes further : “The mor- al and intellectual tone of the peOple has been greatly improved, as the decline of drunkenness. pauperism and crime amply shows. The people, of all classes, concede benefit in this direction. Kansas is better in every way because of her Pro- hibitory law. She can show substantial gains in every department of her work and growth, and she can show clean hands to her friends and fellows in other states and countries when she invites them to come among us. We have a million and three-quarters of bright, progressive, enterprising people, with soil and climate unsurpassed, with diminishing taxation. diminishing crimes, multiplying educa— tional opportunities, but no dram shops.” What can be set against this? What does any argument against Prohibition amount to when met by the irresistible. logic of this success of Prohibition ? Prohibition prohibits in Kansas and the march of that imperial commonwealth to power is an unobstructed one. That which destroys strong men in other states, which multiplies criminals and paupers, which antagonizes good morals and re- ligion. is itself extirpated in Kansas. Prohibition prohibits in Iowa and Maine. It prohibits everywhere, when there is a People of spirit and force. It will prohibit in Connecticut. And we want crime and taxation reduced, the young men of our best blood saved, the wee and horror of our drunkard’s homes ended. We want the prosperity and happiness and glory of a people in all whose communities there is no dram shop. _ ... . Postmaster-General Wannamakcr has issued an order abolishing the post-olfice at Luverne, Ala. Mr. Bonez, a colored man was recently appointed postmaster and the citizens, it is said, showed their opposition by boycotting/him in every way, and finally in burning dowu an old building which he had succeeded with great difficulty in securing for a post-office. In view of these facts Mr. Waunamaker decided that the 500 inhabitants of the place could go three miles for their mail and do without post-office facilities for a while. ‘ GAZETTE, "WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 2. RANDOM RAMBLINGS. BY ROSIE ROWE, OUR RANDOM RAMBLER. I was told the other day of an old and mentally enfeebled man residing on Spring Hill who, at frequent intervals is possessed with a morbid dread of approaching death and a premonition that his own dissolution is at hand. At such times he invariably sends for a minister to baptize him. He had been immersed by a Baptist clergy- man and sprinkled by a Methodist up to last week, when, being seized with anoth- er warning of death, he expressed his usual desire for baptism, and a devout Catholic neighbor besought him to try' a Catholic baptism the next time. He read- ily assented, and a Catholic priest was immediately summoned who administered the rite of baptism according to the ritual of the Roman Catholic church. The ex- pected death did not occur, and the patient still enjoys good health and is now cndcavoring to make up his mind which church he will patronize the next time he sees the rider on the pale horse coming up Spring Hill, and when he wants another baptism. * * * Another tramp came to our house on Thursday—we seem to have in some way acquired quite a reputation as a tramp asylum—and asked for meat. My sister’s husband, as in other cases, told him he could have a meal by earning it, and asked him what he could do. “I am a rope maker, at your service,” replied his trampship. He went away without even a sandwich. * * * Our prosperous clothier, Mr. Stephen Comstock, it is said, is becoming addicted to the bicycle habit, and is frequently seen on the back roads trying to break a “safe- ty” wheel to saddle. It is also said the machine and “Steve” are about equally matched, but “Steve” is now getting so he can stay on top most of the time. *** I will be glad when the elections are over. My sister’s husband is a candidate on the borough ticket for some rank or other, and we hear nothing at home but politics, and the necessity for a change, and a business like administration and so on. It wearies us very much, and I for one, would not mourn if he should be de- feutcd. * * * I am glad the season f. 1' fall niiliinery openings is at had. It will afford a le- freshiug relief, especially for us ladies, from the tedious hum-drum of sitting in our windows and watching the pattering rain or visiting with one another and de- pioriug the short-comings of our neigh‘ bers and acquaintances who are no better than they ought to be. I was told by the Misses St. John the other day that the styles this fall will be simple, sensible and attractive, and I look for feathery treat at the openings. Putnam Camp Grounds. John Wade, who, during his vacation, visited the Putnam Camp Ground at Red- ding, writes it up as follows :— The work of converting into a beautiful park tne winter camp ground in Redding, of GeneralPutnam, of revolutionary fame, has been in progress all summer, and is well advanced. Some thirty-eight acres of land in the crudest state is being work- ed by a half hundred laborers,,who, under the supervision of Senator Bartram, of Sharon, are laying out drives and walks, building block houses, bridges, walls, and restoring as far as possible many of the old relics that in the century past have crumbled away. A repair shop and other necessary buildings have been erected, and the work will be continued until cold weather sets in, when it will be abandoned until spring again. Leading up to the granite monument that has been erected, are to be the block house, and a granite wail follows up the steep hill through an arch in which a stream of water rushes and foams as it falls over the ragged rocks below. Near the end of thts wall will be built an ornamental stone tower, unique in desrgn. Many relics of the past are still in wonderfully good preservation and such ones are not disturbed. Old fire places, or fire bricks, as familiarly called, occupy not a small portion of the grounds and lay in long rows across a large field. Cannon balls and bullets have been found, and the men are unearthing something new most every day. A few days ago an old mess kettle was found with several bullet holes in it. All of the relics will be gathered together and Will be on exhi- bition in a suitable building erected for that purpose. By damming up one of the many streams that flow through the place a charming little lake will be made, and similar attractions will appear on every hand. An old stone bridge, said to be a hundred and ten years old, will not be disturbed. The legislature will be asked for ainotlier appropriation to complete the wor r. The Wrong Man. We regret that in our article in last week’s GAZETTE with reference to a certain judicial decision of a South Norwaik justice of the peace (commonly called “J'udge”) that a mistake was made in the name and person of said officer, and we owe an apology to Mr. Alfred Knapp for coupling his name with South Norwalk’s latest boom, i. e., a child committed to the State reform school for fifteen years. Mr. Alfred Knapp in- forms us that he has never held a court, or tried a tramp, wife or husband beater, drunken men and women or an infant; and that he has never been a justice Of the peace, never wanted to be one, never had any friends urge him to be a candidate for such an office, and that if anybody by the name 'of “Knapp” has caused this great commotion it must be some other than him— self, as he strictly attends to his own busi- ness and lets the public take care of itself. It is true that he is sometimes called “Judge” but for what reason or cause, he don’t know or care. -A All cases of weak or lame back, back- ache, rheumatism, will find relief by wear- ing one of Carter’s Smart Weed and Bel- ladonna Backachc Plasters. Price 25 cents. Try them. Suicide. Mr. Daniel T. Ruggles, an aged citizen Of South Norwalk, committed suicide Mou- day morning, at his residence, 12 Chapel street, while under a fit of temporary insanity brought on by melancholiness. Deceased was soon to-move from that place, and had made arrangements for the sale of his furniture, which was to have been disposed of by auction on the 9th of October by James Mitchell. Since the arrangements for the sale had been com- pleted, he had been very much depressed about leaving as the place was dear to him on account of the associations of his only son Julian, who died there about three years ago, being connected with it. He at times, had apparently labored under short fits of insanity, and, on a recent night, had told his Wife where valuable papers could be found if anything should happen to him, but nothing was thought of this by his friends as he was Of an eccentric disposition. On Monday morn- ing, shortly after rising, he proceeded with Mr. Rency Hoyt to get the furniture on the second floor ready for the auction- eer. Both were busily engaged when Mr. Ruggles suddenly remarked that “he would rather die than remove this furni- ture.” Shortly after this remark he went into a rear bedroom. Stepping in front of mirror, he placed a 38 calibre revolver to his left temple and pulled the trigger. The-loud, sharp report terribly startled Mr. Hoyt, and, rushing to the spot from whence it came, he found Mr. Ruggles lying on the floor with blood gushing from large and ugly wounds in his head. He was still alive when Dr. Bohannan was sent for, but he expired before his arrival. Deputy Coroner Burke was then sum- moned, and he found a verdict in accord- ance with the facts as above stated. De- ceased was in his 75th year. He was formerly in business in Montreal, from which he retired about twelve years ago. He then came to reside in South Norwalk so as to be near his son, who was financial manager and later a partner in the firm of Crofut & Knapp. The funeral will take place from his late residence on Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock. _._____‘+,____. The Rice Crop. The following is a summary of reports gathered by Messrs. Dan Taimage’s Sons relative to the rice growth of the present year. The promise of earlier periods is borne out in all of the states, except Louisiana. In August the latter promised to distance all previous records, but owing to untoward circumstances since and now prevailing it will not exceed that of last year and many predict a falling away of from 26 to 30 per cent. The largest crops made were those of 1885 and 1886, which stood respectively 435,000 and 410,000 barrels of cleaned rice. Total crop is now placed at, Atlantic coast states, 200,000 barrels, 325 pounds each, Louisiana, 323,- -'900 barrels, 250 pounds each. The product, position and prospects of crop in the respective states are as fol- lows: , North Carolina.—Acreagc about same as last year. Yield fifteen per cent. lar- ger, but not up to the average past de- cade. Quality fine. Harvesting on tide- water crop fairly under way; upland not ripe. Planters in good financial condition and will not part with crops at much if any below present prices. South Carolina—Acreage slightly under last year. Yield larger, but below the average of past decade. Quality prime. Harvesting of early plantings progressing under favorable conditions, but not over twenty-five per cent. absolutely safe, bal- iance still in fields. June and upland scarcely ready. Planters in good position to bold, but disposed to meet fair prices. Georgia.—Acreage as last year. Yield one-half larger, but below average. Quai- ity best in many years. Harvesting well advanced, one-half crop stacked in fields. Crop will be marketed at reasonable prices, but planters strong enough to carry and will not sacrifice. Louisiana.—Acreage less than last year. Yield disappointing and not likely to equal that of last year, but exceeds the average of the decade. Quality fair to good, mainly fair. Harvesting about half October. Planters are disposed to hold, awaiting final out—turn. Much of the foregoing is of necessity of a predictive character. This is one of the critical periods of rice. A considera- ble per cent. of that which is harvested is lying or stacked on the fields. Large quantities are just maturing or not due until October. Dry weather, such as they are now having in Louisiana, will materially injure the yield; on the other hand heavy storms may arise, damaging both quality and quantity. Rice is hardly to be calculated on before it is milled and barrelled for market. If all goes well the total production will not vary materially from last year, and if, as now promised, of good and prime quality, will be easily marketed at about present rates, which are under the importing cost of nca rly all styles of foreign of equal grade.
