.STABLISHED,
The Election.
A more stupid and uninteresting town
election was seldom if ever held in Nor-
walk. Whether it was the depressing
gloorrr of the dingy and dirty old town
house, or the melonclroly effects of the
neglected and mouldering grave yard that
surrounds it, or the sour and damp weath-
er, or the new Australian method of vot-
ing, we know not, but it certainly was a
most dreary event in our local history.
Now and then a little fun evolved from
the comical antics and blunders made by
uninitiated voters, who tried to master the
mysteries of the envelope and turn-stile
method of getting up to the polls. The
average democrat seemed to get it into
his tread that he was being ushered into a
bath-house as he was conducted to the
wicker gates, and as bathing is repugnant
to democratic practices and principles,
they naturally resisted. “Bill” Mitchell
thought them wrecked Concy Island bath-
houses or something worse and he vowed
he wouldn’t go into the secret den. But
when assured it was the only possible way
he could vote for “Sam” Daskam for first
sclectman, he finally succumbed and
ventured through. All the usual excite-
ments and exhilarations of election were
confined tO the borough contest, at the
foot of Mill Hill, many Of our borough
voters refusing to go up the hill to the
town house to vote for town officers at all.
The result here is what might have been
anticipated, and vindicates the wisdom
and good politicsinvolved in the GAZETTE-’5
recent proposition of both parties uniting
upon and running for this year, a people’s
ticket composed fairly of our best citizens.
It was a notorious fact that Warden Cool-
idge, aided and abetted by two or three
Of. our present republican burgesscs, had
by'their Ofiicial administration of borough
affairs, succeeded beyond their most
sanguine expectations, in making a demo--
cratic victory this time absolutely cer-
tain. So our candidate for Warden, Mr.
E. O. Keelcr, and four of our burgesscs,
are “snowed under.” The wonder is,
under all the circumstances, that Messrs.
Meeker and Adams are saved. Mr. Mont-
gomery defeats Mr. Price for borough
treasurer and the non-partisan character
of our board of water commissioners is
preserved by the success of Mr. Mead, as
successor to Chas. E. St. John. But all
in all, “our friends the enemy,” have
given us a warden and 21 board of honest,
sensible men, and the interests of our
all too heavilv burdened tax-paying
citizens, will no doubt be faithfully cared
for during the coming year of 1890.

A Service Pension.
There can be no question of the fact
that the efforts of the late Commissioner
of Pensions, Mr. Tanner, to widen the
practical scope of the pension laws (a
matter entirely within his discretion) has
called anew the attention of the country
to the fact that the old soldiers are dying
off very fast, that very many Of them are
badly provided for, and that justice de-
mands that a general service pension bill
should be passed. Such a brll was pro-
posed about a year and a half ago. We
earnestly advocate its reintroduction. Let
it be remembered that there are thousands
who absolutely need this measure of jus-
tice at the hands of the Government.
There are. living to—day hundreds Of thou—
sands of aged and war-worn veterans, men
who desorted business, turned their backs
on prosperity, left wife and babies behind,
and boldly plunged into the fight under
the stars and stripes which they carried to
victory alter the bloodiest and most des-
perate war of all the ages—and who now,
broken dowu in health, weak,exhausted
and feeble, are suffering, not from
wounds, but from the exposure, the drafts
upon their constitutions to which they
were exposed in those fearful years, and
who, In consequence, to-day are dragging
their feeble limbs down to the grave in
poverty, in suffering and ill distress.
They are justly entitled to pensions, al-
though it may well be that they contracted
ill the service no disease which the pen-
Sion laws, as at present framed, will take
cognizance of as a just cause for pensions.
Let this Republic show gratitude, if no
other has done so. Above all let it Show
justice, and render unto its war-worn vet-
erans that consideration which is their
due. And let the measure be character-
ized as what it strictly is, a measure of

justice, not of charity.
The Stratford Celebration.
The celebration of the 250th anniveraary
of the founding of Stratford occurred on
Thursday, on which occasion the new
'sOldiers’ and sailors’ monument was dedi-
cated. It was a day long to be remem-
bered in Stratford, and it. is estimated that
10,000 strangers were present. The town
was dressed in its gayest colors and the
air was filled with music. The hospitality
of the citizens was boundless and nothing
was lacking that could enhance the pleas—
ure of the occasion. N orwalk was exten-
sively represented by organizations and
individuals. Buckingham Post, G. A. R.,
attended and took part in the parade, as
did also Douglass Fowler Post, of South
Norwalk; Company F, C. N. G., Hope
Hose company, and the Americus Drum
Corps. The parade was a brilliant one
and elicited universal admiration. The
exercises on the green, after the parade,
were most interesting, and were partici-
pated ill by distinguished citizens of the
state. Lieutenant-Governor Mcrwin and
Department Chaptain Rev. Dr. Eddy were.
among the distinguished guests. Among
the many interesting features of the occa-
sion was a loan exhibition in the Town
Hall, consisting Of rare and ancientarticles
with associations connected with the early
history of the town. The various details
of the event were in charge of most effi-
cient committees, who looked assrduously
after the welfare of the visitors. The
members Of the the press were handsome-
ly entertained by a committee headed by
Principal Peck, Of the Stratford High
school. The Cupheag Club, a social insti-
tution composed of Stratford’s young men,
kept open house and made it exceedingly
pleasant for all who called. The members
Of the club took part in the parade 011
horseback, dressed and painted as Indians,
and had a large float bearing a Wigwam,
canoe and other devices illustrating Indian
life, and attracted considerable attention
and admiration. Colonel D. P. Rhodes,
a prominent citizen of the town. enter-
tained'thc principal guests most royally
and received large numbers of callers who
were cor'dlally treated. All in all the
affair was one of the most successful and
memorable celebrations that have taken
place in this state in many a year, and
Stratford lras just cause to be proud ~ of
her honorable record.

The Event of the Year.
In each of the four new states whose
first elections occurred on Tuesday of last
week the campaign was fought from be-
ginning to end on national issues. In
each and all of these states strong men
took part in the canvass on both sides, for
many able men have gone from the older
states to help build up these new common-
wealths. The political journals of the two
Dakotas, Washington and Montana are
far superior in ability to most of their
contemporaries in some of the oldest states
of the Union. 111 was by no means a pop-
gurr fight among pigmies, but such a cam
paign as would be creditable to the intelli-
gence of'any part of the country. The
generally prevailing idea that these new
members of the Union household are rude,
uncouth, coarse and ill-bred is ludicrously
absurd. The society of the towns in that
region will compare favorably with that
of the best eastern cities. Protection of
American industry, as a permanent fea-
ture of national policy, is indorsed where
its enemies hoped that it would ”be sig-
nally repudiated. Eloquent appeals to
the farmers to “rebuke the barons and
money kings” produced no more effect in
the far west in August, 1889, than they
did in Pennsylvania and Ohio in 1888.
All the tariff reform arguments of the
Cleveland campaign, with various new
devices, were employed in vain. Three
of the new states stood firmly for protec-
tion ; in the fourth the result is undecisivc
as to this issue. The same solid indorse-
ment is given to all the other tenets of the
republican creed. The new states declare
for a free ballot and honest returns all
over the Union, and a liberal pension
policy.

Salt For Moths.
For moths salt is the best exterminator.
The nuns in one Of the hospital convents
have tried everything else without suc-
cess, andthcir experience is valuable, as
they have so much clothing of the sick
who go there, and strangers, when dying
there, often leave quantities of clothing.
They had a room full of feathers, which
were sent there for pillow—making, and
they were in despair, as they could not
exterminate the moths until they were
advised tO try common salt. They sprin-
kled it around and in a week or ten days
they were altogether rid Of the moths.
They are never troubled now. In heavy
velvet carpets sweeping them with salt,
cleans and keeps them from moths, as
particles of salt remain in the carpets and
corners. Salt is not hurtful to anyone and
has no bad smells. Here is .a little hint I
add, which perhaps everyone does not
know: For cleaning wash basins, bath,
&c., use the same thing, common dry
salt. Rubalittle of the salt with your
fingers on the basin. Often a sort of scum
is noticed in the basins in a marble wash-
stand in the bathroom, the salt takes it off
easily and leaves the basin Shining and
clean.

make the transfer to Jersey aSexpcditious-
l y as possible.

The committee will undertake to pro-
vide parlor car accommodations for those
who may desire them, from Jersey City to
Gettysburg and return.
Headquarters of the 17th and 27th Reg-
iments will be at the McClellan House,
Gettysburg, where quarters can be se-
crrrcd for a limited number by applying to
the committe. The committee will ren—
der such assistance as they may be able,
0 all who apply to them to have quarters
secured.
The expenses of this most delightful and
instructive excursion will be as follows:
Fare from Jersey City to Gettysburg and
return, exclusive of parlor car seats and
transfer in New York, $6.55; hotel rates
$1.50 and $2 per day; dinners going and
returning, 75 cents or $1 each; transfer in
New York by Elevated Railway, five cents
each way. The rates for board at private
boarding houses will probably be about
$1.25 and $1.50 per day.
Let it he distinctly understood that this
excursion is open to all members of the
regiment and friends desiring to accom-
pany them
All persons intending to join the excur-
sion should notify P. Wade, jr., Bridge-
port, Conn., Chairman of Committee, as
early as possible, and state whether accom-
modations are wanted at hotel or private
boarding places, and also the accommoda-
required.
Another Story of Lincoln.
A dispatch from Lewiston, Ill., says:
The Rev. Dr. Haney, a pioneer Methodist
minister of Canton, 111., told this reminis-
cence of Abraham Lincoln: “The Rev.
Peter Akers, an eloquent pioneer Metho-
dist, held a meeting near Springfield some
years before the war, and one day Abra-
ham Lincoln and several other attorneys
of Springfield drove out to it. Father
Akers spoke that day on the “Sin of
Slavery,” and prophesied that in a few
years God would wipe out this crime of
crimes in blood. The sermon was gen-
erally regarded as the mouthings of a
blatant abolitionist and in returning home,
the lawyers laughed and joked about it.
Lincoln, however, remained srlent and
grave. Noticing his unusual conduct his
companions rallied him by asking, “What
do you think of Brother Aker’s Sermon?”
Mr. Lincoln replied as follows : “Well,
I confess that I have never before been so
deeply impressed by,human utterance. I
never thought we should have war over
slavery or any other question. But those
utterances tO-day seemed to come far
beyond the preacher. They came to me
as real and awful prophecy. More aston-
ishing than all, and you may laugh as you
will, I seemed to be thrilled in my very
soul with the conviction that I am in
some way tO have a tremendous respon-
sibility in that coming and awful war.”

The Grandeur of Simplicity.
The speech in which Mr Blaine welcom-
ed the delegates tO the conference of Ameri-
can natons ought to inspire in the mind of
every citizen of the United States a feeling
of pride that we have a statesman capable of
so grandly meeting the requirement of so
great an occasion. It is an address that
makes the patriotic heart thrill with lofty
emotions—a shecclr that will live in history
and tradition for many generations. When
the events of which this conference is the
precursor Shall have become accomplished
facts; when all the independent nations of
North, Central and South America shall
have become knit together in bonds of rec-
iprocal amity: when the greatness and pros-
perity that may justly be expected to result
to each and all from mutual helpfulness shall
have won the admiaation Of the Old world—-
then and centuries thereafter the name of
James G. Blaine will be a household word
in every American home, and his speech at
the conference of 1889 will be quoted with
affectionate veneration for its author.
