‘ The Race Problem _in Florida.

.We are indebted to Mrs. H. S. Kcyser, of
East Norwalk, for a veryinteresting account
of what the Florida paper quoted from
dominates the “educational event of the
year.” It says: '

On five days of last week, in this county,
the county school teachers held institute
sessions, the white teachers to themselves,
the colored teachers to themselves. In the
white teacliers’ institute there were forty—
five teachers. In the colored teachers’ in-
stitute there were twenty-one teachers. The
difference exhibits an equitable proportion,
considering the number of pupils attending
the schools of white and colored respective-
ly. The county superintendent, the presi-
dent of the county board of instruction, the
principal of the county high school. and
other gentlemen, (among them several min-
isters of the gospel), daily repaired to the
colored institute and addressed the colored
teachers, as did also the governor of Florida
and the state superintendent of education,
both of whom spoke at considerable length
to the colored teachers

. Governor Fleming advanced the idea that
the true solution of the “race problem” lay
in education, and that he pledged his ad-
ministration to interpose no obstacle to pre-
vent the education of the colored people on
lines equalling in every respect the fac11ities
afforded the whites. “He assured us,” says
the News reporter, “that he was in hearty
sympathy with our work and would rejoice
with us in our progress." “These words
from the governor of Florida have more
‘han superficial meaning. They are har-
mngers of better days to come.”

Let it be remembered says the News,
that the flcilities for the education of the
colored people of Florida are afforded in
the taxation of the white people of the state.
And it should not be forgotten that, as the
whites have a normal college at DeFuniak,
a normal school is also provided at Talla-
hassee, the capital ofthe state, for the color-
ed people of Florida, and by legislative en—
actment.

Race troubles in Florida have yet to
assume the least significant proportions, and
whites and blacks, each with a due regard
for the rights of the other, the former ever
ready to acknowledge the latter’s political
privileges, the latter not. seeking to create
an unnatural social parity, are on most
amicable terms, and their state, in conse-

.. quence thereof, is the peer in every respect

' of any in the Union in the preservation of
public order.

The GAZETTE, as a republican journal,
most gladly Welcomes such evidences as the
above of a disposition to treat the colored
citizen of the south with not only justice,
but with liberalily, and the editor of the
News does injustice to his own intelligence
when he expresses a doubt that such facts as
he narrates will be received with any other
feeling by the people of the north of any
political party or bias. The honest and
patriotic American citizen’s motto is: “Fair
play for the weakest and humblcst of God’s
creatures of whatever race or color.”

But what explanation is to be given of
Tuesday’s despatch to the eflect that John
Bird, colored, a witness before a Federal
court in Florida, was murdered for politi—
cal reasons while peacefully returning to his
home from the court.

The Great Masonic Gathering.

A private letter from Washington, sent
amcmber of the GAZETTE staff, has the
following anent the Masonic gathering
there last week :—

I suppose you have read all about the
grand time Washington had during the
Knights Templar Conclave. Well, the
papers could not do it half justice. The
4th of March parade, when we put Harri-
son into the White House, was not a cir—
cumstance to the parade last Tuesday.
Then, again, the decorations Were much
more elaborate and numerous. The par-
ade was the finest that ever passed up
Pennsylvania avenue, and the whole city
was ringing with music from eighty-five
bands of music, composed of the best in
the country. Our Marine band carried
off the honors, but Cappa’s SeVenth Regt.
band was only Composed of about. half its
usual number, while Reeve-’5 Band of
~Prov10ence was in the same condition.
Colt’s band of Hartford was very fine,
as'was the Sixty-ninth .New York. The
Bridgeport Commaiidci‘y had the most
music in the Moodus drum corps boys,
who carry them: big drums and make
every “darkey” in Washington wild I
had a call from Ed. 0. Keelcr, John Lee,
Major Miller, of Georgetown, and last, but
not least, Postmaster Golding. Mrs. Dr.
Barbour tells me she had the Keelers,
Lees, Golding and Mrs. Dr. Higgins and
daughter, all at her house duiing the
week, and enjoyed seeing them very
much. G. R. B.

Ciose the Saloon.

One of the most significant signs of the
imcs, says the National Adoocatens the
growing opposition to the saloon by the
Roman Catholic church. The growth of
this sentiment the past year is remarkable.
Not only its “Leagues of the Cross and
the Catholic Total Abstinence Union, but
an increasing number of Catholic papers
are outspoken in this direction. The (lath-
olz‘a Universe, published at Cleveland, 0.,
in a recent article says:

“The saloon at night is the pander-er of
nincty-niue-hundredths of the crime and
vice of a large city.

“Close the saloon at night.

“Let the City of Mexico plan be follow~
ed in our large cities—~six a. m. to six p.
m.—and give the father and husband an
opportunity to make the acquaintance of
his family. The saloonist ought to himself
work for that opportunity, and make his
calling more respectable and less odious.”

Advice to Mothers.

Are you disturbed at night and broken of
your rest by a sick child suffering and crying
'wlth pain ofcutling teeth ? If so send at once
and get a bottle of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing
Syrup for Children Teething. Its value is
calculable. It will relieve the poor little stif-
ferer immediately. Depend 11 on it, mothers
there is no mistake about it. 1; cures dysenz:
tery and diarrhoea. regulates the atom ach and
bowels, cures wind colic. softens the gums
reduces inflammation, and gives tone and
energy to the whole system. Mrs. Winslow’s
soothing Syrup for Children Teething is
pleasant to the taste, and is the prescription of
Some of the oldest and best female nurses
and physmans in the United States, and is for
sale by all druagists throughout the world.
Price 25 cents a bottle. 1y52

NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16 1889.‘

“Eloqucnt Joe Hawley."

Under the above appropriate heading
the Palladium gives a brief outline of Sen-
ator Hawlcy’s speech at the International
Congress banquet at New Haven, last
week. Among other things it says:

“The field was so immense that he
could only glanCe at a few of the more
prominent features of our national pro-
gress and business. He spoke of our im-
mense sea—coasts, stretching thousands of
miles, indented by rivers, bays, sounds
and harbors, along which were splendid
cities full of business life and activity,
largely supported by our immense coast
trade. While attention was drawn by
some to the comparative weakness of our
commercial marine upon the high seas,
we must not forget the magnificent coast-
ing commerce done in American bottoms,
exceeding in magnitude and wealth the
marine commerce of any other nation in
the world, except Great Britain alone.
While, therefore, there may be reason to
regret that our lines of ocean steamers are
not so numerous and well sustained as
those of some other nations, we must not
lose sight of the vast American wealth and
enterprise invested in our tremendous
coasting trade.

Then, too, it must not be forgotten that
American capitalists arc annually expend—
ing for the construction of lines of inter-
nal railway a greater sum than is spent by
all other nations combined in the con-
struction and expansion of their commer-
cial naVics. Our transcendant internal
commerce is taxing the resources of Amer-
ica almost to its utmost. No nation upon
the face of the earth has such a vast home
market to supply or such magnificent re-
sources with which to supply it. With
every variety of soil and climate and pro-
duction, we are practically independent of
the remainder of the world. ~

It must also be remembered, he said,
that we are growing as a nation at an un-
exampled rate of speed, with 65,000,000
population now, to become 85,000,000, to
90,000,000, in ten years more. Thus in
one decade we shall add to our popula-
tion a larger number of inhabitants than
are. found in the entire kingdom of Spain.
Such rapid progress may well tax the in-

' dustrial capacity of the nation.

The senator waxed into an outburst of
his old-time eloquence as he contemplated
the rising gloryof the republic in the years
to come. He did not so far forget the
proprietics of the occasion as to indulge in
unseemly political flings at those who dif-
fcr with him, but it was easy to see that
the grand 'old orator Was proud that this
nation had grown to be the greatest, the
noblest, the richest, the proudest and most
powerful of all nations in the world under
republican policies, inaugurated and sus-
tained by republican administration.”

Crime in Connecticut.

The total‘iiumber of criminal cases (llS-
posed of in the superior court of this state
during the court year of 1889 was 1,498.
Of this number New Haven county fur-
nished 525 cases, Fairficld county 289,
and Hartford county 176. The lowest
number was in Tolland county, the total
being only 53. Middletown was 2 ahead
of Tolland, the county furnishing 55 cases
during the twelve months. __The total
nhmbcr of convictions was 93 and the
whole number of acquittals was 40. In
New Haven county there were 32 convic
tions. In New Haven county there were
88 pleas of guilty, and 77 in Fairfield
county. The total number in all the courts.
was 379. Bonds were forfeited in 154
cases throughout the state. Of the tota
number 81 were in New Haven and 47 in
Fairfield county. The total number of
conVictions in the state in 1889 was 188
and the acquittals 28. The whole number
of cases disposed of last year was 1,687,
against 1,468 for the current year. The
bond forfeitures last year aggregated
$29,222, and the number of bonds forfeited
was 141. There Were 348 pleas of guilty
entered last year, against 379 for 1887.

The Verdict Unanimous.

 

W. D. Sult, Druggist, Bippus, Ind.,‘

testifies: “I can recommend Electric Bit-
ters as the very best remedy. Every bot-
tle sold has given relief in every case.
One man took six bottles and was cured
of rheumatism of 10 years’ standing.”
Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville. Ohio,
affirms : “The best selling remedy I have
ever handled in my 20 years' experience,
is Electric Bitters.” Thousands of others
have added their testimony, so that the
verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters
do cure all diseases of the liver, kidneys
or blood. Only a half dollar a bottle at
H. R. Hale’s drug store.
-—-—-—<+>———~—
From the Saturday Review: Strolling up
Broadway the other day I dropped into a.
leading jewelry store to ascertain whether
they had any device for holding my watch
to my pocket in order to defy the attempts
of pickpockets to relieve me of it. “I’ll
tell you the very best thing to do,” said
one of the gentlemen in charge at the
watch counter: “have u button-hole made
in the outer lappcl of your watch pocket,
and then pull your chain through that
before fastening the bar of your chain in
the centre buttonhole of your vest. Tue
tight-fingered gentry usually pull the

 

watch up straight out of the pocket, but
when the chain passes through the hole in
the watch~pockct the pressure thus caused
blocks their little game.”
