NORVVALK GAZETTE, 'WE'D NESDAY NOVEMBER 13, 1889. 1800 a: 55. no fixBLISI—IED , = Some of the Whys and W’herefores. The results Of the elections in several of the ten states last week were Slll'pl‘lSL‘S indeed. In Ohio the soldier-statesman, Foralaer, Went down, and the legislature, on which is depending the election of a U. s. Senator, was lost to the republicans mainly because the German republicans refused their votes because he was too much of a temperance man, and the pro- hibitionists throw their votes unitedly against him because he wasn’t of and with them in their democratic rum-power aid- ing policy. It is also Stated that thou- sands of soldier votes were also lost he_ cause of the Tanner incident and the revoking by the administration at Wash- ington Of his patriotic order increasing ever}; soldier’s pension from $2 to $4 per month. In Iowa the republicans were split on railroad issues, and thousands of former voters have removed to the new states Of the far northwest. The Tanner incident, it is said, also lent a helping influence. The latest information is to the effect that the legislature is re- publicnn bya small majority, which. if true. happily ensures the return Of Hon. William B. Allison to the U. S. Senate, who, as chairman Of the committee on appropriations, is without question one Of the most laborious, important and valu— able mcinbcrs of that body. In New York state the republicans have the legislature, and secure a U. S. senator in place of Mr. Evarts. This is about all they expected. Thousands of soldier votes were lost to our side because of the mistake Of making Tanner pension commissioner, and the worse political blunder of deposing him and rev king his liberal rulings on the eve of these important elections. Taken as a whole it was a sort of W'at ‘rloo for the administration land the party in general that no excuse of its being an “ofif year" in our politics can satisfactorily explain. To the most active and earnest workers—~the men in both the great parties who do the work of organi- zation and win the victories—the result is undeniably explained by a detestation of our civil Service law delusion and rte-Cep- tion. It is a law that never has and never will be carried out in entire fidelity and sincerity. for it is a practical impossibility as political parties are formed in this country. Nor should" it be. It is un- American, and its tenndaticn principle, “once in office always in" is Obnoxious to the great mass of American voters of all parties. In the average judgment of the people, those who neither want nor woull accept public office, it is just as wise and wholesome to change the village post- master :is it is the president. The law tends to create an office holding aristocra- cy in this country the same as exists in England, and this is. abhoient to the true American spirit and ideas of our people. \Ve append some of the reasons given by on" esteemed contemporaries :— The Tribune .' “The defeats Of this year are nietlicrnal. The republican party ought to make the best possible use Of them. If they teach leaders it is not sen- srbIe to disregard public opinion; if they help the administration to realize where its true friends are; if they warn vottrs that iirdill'ercnce and laziness put in puril the interests which they profess to hold dear- est; ll they Show manager‘s where the party organization 13 deficient, they will do more good than harm." The Press: ”things have gone and gone pretty badly this fall for the republi- can party. A variety of reasons may be given for republican defeat in New York. Ohio and Iowa, but to dwell on them will do no good. There is one point, how. ever. which must not be lost Sight of. Although the party has been in power over nine months it has not been able to show any direct results. There is no doubt the ascendency of the republican party has restored confidence and steadied the busrness of the country. If the policv of the republican party is to be a tame and timid one. the prospect in 1892 may be gauged by the results this fall, while the talk of a long lease of power is rampant nonsense. Tire gleam of sunshine through the clouds Of defeat comes in the hope of a VlgOI‘IdIS, decided republican policy laid down by the presrdent and cabinet, and a carrying outof that policy by the fifty- first congress. Will the party leaders therefore kindly arrange to do something this winter, and will the president lend his powerful aid in this direction ?” The Standard: “All over the north, and our readers can particularize cases for themselves, men are still in office who were the most unscrupulous and abusive opponents of the republican candidates in tue two last presidential elections. These men were chosen by Mr. Cleveland for posrtions of trust and emolument, seem- ingly because of their offensive partisan- ship and of their capacity to insult their political opponents, as well as on account of their ability to “work their offices for all they were worth” and by every art known to the unscrupulous politician, for "Cleveland and democracy" whenever there should be a call. To keep such men in Office on a plea of “civil service reform” is a trial that few republicans feel called upon to endure, and the effect of such a mistaken course is discouraging in the extreme. There is no use in denying 0r dodging this, for it is the one factwhiclr meets the intelligent republican wherever, he goes, and most forcibly impresses him. there is. no true “civil service reform” in such a course, certainly none which the republican party wants or can sustain. All over the north, we repeat, these instances are to be found, and the exasperation which they occasion is deep and danger— ous. At the south it is even worse. * * So north and south these conditions are essentially the same, differing only in de- grce, and the damage done to the party organization by the failure to properly dis- criminate and promptly act when discrim- ination and action are called for by all the equities and dcccncies which should gov- ern and promote both, is far reaching. To that feeling doubtless is attributable the failure of very many of our republicans all over the north to vote at the recent. elec- ns. We cannot fight the devil even t.Il.B‘li?iti'.Gll.BlllttI. l.IlODBlllEYElt.lI..Asstclalel i vantage of. keeping the most formidable i fire—brands in his own hands.” Ex-l’ostmaster-Gencral Frank Hallon‘s Washington Post: “It is just as well to ,be frank and honest about the result of Tuesday’s elections. It was a republican defeat. Of course the party in power is not always sure of victory at an election succeeding a presidential contest. Men with grievances and grudges against the president Will be quick to say that the result of Tuesday’s elections was a rebuke to the administration. This has always been so, and always will be so, but it is no more so now than it has been in previous elections in what is called the “off year.” It would not be just to President Harri on to attribute the republican defeat solely to dissatisfaction with his administration. If the result of Tuesday's election demon- strated anything at all, it was that the special pet of Providence theory has no place in the politics of this country, and that the victory cames to the hustlers, the organizers and the use of all the smews Of political warfare. Party success always has depended and always will depend on party organization. However intense pol- rticians may be in their political beliefs, and in their devotion to the principles of the party to which they belong, a perfect, compact and well_organized management 13 absolutely necessary. There is a wide- spread disgust throughout the country, in both political parties, at the attempt on the part of certain people to establish the doctrine that a victory means nothing nrore than the holding of office by suc- cessful candidates. Sensible men in both parties are getting tired of the abuse which is constantly being heaped upon party workers and party managers by the self annointed few. ~l‘hey cannot see why it is any more degrading for men to work for political victory and then expect party re- ward, than it is for men to accept the re- sults of the victory and then refuse to admit tlieobligations they are under to the men who win the victOry. While there were different local causes for the result in different states, the general result clearly shows that no party which will commit itself to the tin—American theory of civil service reform can hope to receive the en- dorsement Of the people. Above all things else the great mass of people like honesty, and they despise cant and by- pocrisy. This is as true of one party as it is of the other. The democratic adminis- tration of President Cleveland, which di- vided the responsibility of the manage— ment of the government with its republi can opponents, could not command the united support of its own party when it sought re-election. NO more can the ad- ministration of President Harrison, if it follows the policy of dividing the respon- sibility of its management of public affairs with its political opponents hope to receive the united republican vote.” ____._.____‘.‘>___..._,____ Connecticut Granite. Some of the readers of the GAZETTE have doubtless observed numerous car loads of huge cut granite, on their way down to Wilson Point, on the Danbury and Norwalk railroad. The stone are being used in the foundation for an immense building now being constructed between West and Washington streets at the foot of Liberty street in New York city, for the New Jersey Central and Reading rail- roads. The piling for this new building Iras been going forward for several months past, and now the granite foundation is being laid with Mr. Moyver’s granite blocks from the Mine Hill quarry on the Shepaug railroad, and from other quarries. Mr. M. not being able to furnish the whole quantity in time. It requires ten thousand tons of foun ation stone for the building, of which Mr. Mower furnished three thousand tons. The cars with the stone are run on barges at Wilson Point, and taken to the slip near the new build- ing, thus showing the great advantage of the new transfer arrangement by the Wil- son Point Terminal CO. These granite blocks are of uniform width and thick- ness, but varying from three to five feet four in length, and weigh from three to five tons each. One hundred tons per day are being shipped from this quarry. Mr. Morrow is also shipping several car loads per day of his granite blocks to Harlem river, for the foundation of the new and large round-house now being built by the Consolidated railroad com- pany between First and Second avenues, on the north side of the Harlem river. This round-house is to contain thirty-six stalls, and it now looks as if some or all of the trains of the Consolidated road now running to the Grand Central depot,would at no distant day connect with the Second and Third avenue elevator! roads, on the north side of the Harlem river, via. the Harlem river branch from New Rochelle. , “Swivel" Service. Petitions asking a repeal of the civil ser- vice law are being sent from Washington to all parts Of the United States, addressed to Senators sud members of Congress, and signed by numbers of their constituents. Tire following is a copy of one of these pe- titions :‘ To run HON. MEMBER OF CONGRESS: We, the undersigned, citizens Of—,State of——, and your constituents, do hereby re- spectfully request that you do all in your power to have the present obnoxious and un- American civil service law repealed. We believe that the Presrdent and his Cabinet, with the aid and advice of Senators and Members of Congress, are perfectly able to appoint worthy persons to Office without an expensive commission which foists a scho- lastic class upon the public, and which sub- jects many persons to the trouble and ex- pense of examination when there is no pos- sible chance Of appointment. ‘C: Miss Caldwell’s Good Sense Commended. The real trouble between Miss Caldwell and Prince Murat is precisely the same which threatened to interfere and prevent the Huntington-Hatzfeldt marriage. But while Prince Hatzfeldt yielded to the pressure of his relatives Prince Murat remains stubborn. He is not satisfied with the proposal of an allowance Of 50,- 000 francs offered to him by Miss Cald- well and wanted the control of the prin- cipal of her fortune. This she refused to concede and the result was that a rupture took place, All Paris is talking of this event. In the American colony here the girl’s good sense is generally commended. — World.

In Europe the telephone as a disease disseminator is undrr discussion. A Frenchman has discovered a new disorder termed “aural overpressure,” caused by the constant strain of the auditory appar- atus in shouting through the telephone. In some cases the tinkling of the bell 'has affected the ears of persons the same way that inflamed eyes cannot hear the light, The patients suffered from nervous excit- ability, with buzzrng noises in the ear, giddiness and neuralgic pains. Says the London Medical Journal: “The victims Of ‘telephone tinnitus,’ if we may so bap- tize this latest addition to the ills that flesh is heir to, seen all to be of markedly nervous organization, and the moral may be drawu that such persons should not use the telephone.” When Jul -s Verne’s hero started on his trip around the world he was handicapped byatimc limit Of 80 days to make the journey in. but he had unlimited cash with which to hire special trains, buy elephants and bribe steamboat captains to make time for him.

This confu- siorr of names is sure to cause trouble to everybody who has occasion to address a letter or write a paragraph or otherwise con- cern himself with the word Washington as applied to a place. It is a pity that Con- gress did not attach to the enabling act a provision for the adOption of a name which should be at once euphonious, approprij/te and distinctive —Washt'ngton Star.

AAA ,.____. _. Tammany’s Costly Victory. The New York Tribune says: NO other victory Tammany has won was so openly decided by money as the one on Thursday. “It was bought and paid for in cold cash,” said one of the best posted Republican lead- ers. “and as a purely financial transaction it is something unique. As near as loan figure the local victory cost a half million dollars. Every Tammany Office-holder was assessed a month’s salary—from Chamber- lain Croker, with his $25,000 a year, to the most humble clerk in the departments. All had to pay, too. Then the liquor deal~ ers had to raise another fund, and the brew- ers another, the contractors another, busi- ness houses dealing with the city another, and so on, all around. There was no escape Ironr the levy. Over $200,0C0, in solid cash, was put into the election districts, that is $200 a district to begin with, and this was supplemented during the day, to enable the wigwam workers to run up the price of votes to $10. and even to $15 in some in- stances. “Neither onr people nor the County De- mocracy ct-nld do anything against such a flood Of ‘boodle’. The enemy bought up everything that was purchasable, and every practical politician knows what that means in this city. It is amusing, by the way, to read in an afternoon paper that Senator Mnrplry, down in the Fifth district, was beaten because of dissatisfaction in the Re- publican ranks over the combination with the ‘Counties.’ The simple fact is that Murphy was beaten because a small fortune was put in the district against him. I re- peat that the victory on Thursday was a purely commercial transaction, and our op- ponents are welcome to such a triumph.” AA_ If you are tired of taking the large old- fashioned griping pills, try Carter’s Little Liver Pills and take some comfort.

NICHOLAS. —The Century Co’s Magazine for Y0ung Folks.— Eularged and Prlnted in New Type. Since_1873, when,nnder the editorial manage- ment of Mrs. Mapes Dodge, the publication of Sr. NICHOLAS FOR YOUNG FOLKS was begun,it has led all magazines for girls and boys. Nothing like it was known before, and to-day as the Chicago INTER-OCEAN recently said, “It is the model and ideal juvenile magazine of the worm.”- Through its pages the greatest writers of our time are Speaking to the youth of Amer- 1c 1. and England, and the best artists and en- zravers are training the eyes of the boys and girls to appreciate the highest in art. Nobody knows how many readers Sr. NICHOLAS has. In the third largest public library in America, ——that In Indrauapolis,——more than 3000 people read each month’s number. Since the first issue Mrs. Dodge has remain- ed as editor. Early in its history other young people’s magazines, “Our Young Folks,” “The Little Corporal,” “Riverside,” etc., were con— solidated with it, and its history has been one of growth from the first. Tennyson, Bryant, Longfellow, Whittier, Miss Alcott, Mrs. Burnett Charles Dudley Warner, W. D. Howells, and almost every well-known writers of our time have contributed to its pages. "There is only one way In whlch its conductors can make it better, and that is by making more of it, and so they announce that with the beginning of the seventeenth volume (November, 1889) ST. NICHOLAS Will be enlarged by the addition of eight, and sometime sixteen extra pages in each number. This enlargement is absolutely re- quired to make room for the rich Store of new material which has been secured for the benifit of ST. NICHOLAS readers. The use ofnew and clearer type will be begun with the November number. _ During the coming year there ane to be four Important serial Stories by four well-known American authors. Athletics and outdoor Sports Will be a special feature (contributed by Walter Camp, of Yale, and others), and there Will be stories Of character and adventure sketches of information and travel, outdoor,- paperst articles of Special literarv interest, suggestive talks on natural historv, Other scien- tific subjects, and the march of events. Both the_Deceinher and January numbers are to be holiday issues. The price will be the same as heretofore, $3. a year. 23 cents a number, and all dealers and the nu blishers (The Century 00., New York) take subscriptions. New subscribers Should begin with November. " READ THE BEST Weekly Newspaper and Family Journa in the Country. Tire Weekly Edition of the Springfield, (Mass) Republican. which was established in 1824, by Samuel Bowles, has recently been en- larged to 12 pages or 84 columns. The price remains at $1 per year, or 10 cents a month for shorter periods. This generous enlargement, adding 28 col- umns to the capacity of the paper, allows the introduction of many new and attractive fea- tures. The news of Western Massachusetts and New England in particular, and of the World in general ,is now presented in a more thorough manner than ever before. The news matter is not thrown together in promiscuous fashion, but is carefully edited and intelligently arrang- ed. The valuable literary department, for which the paper has always been famous, is made richer and more comprehensive. A sermon or other serious paper is printed every week, selections being made from the leading preachers of the various religions bod- ies, and often from the local pulpits of Western Massachusetts. The religious news and dis- cussion of the day is also carefully reviewed. A bright, entertaining and wholesome orig- inal story, and also an attractive department for young people, are regular features. Each number contains a good variety of or- iginal or selected poetry. The Special inter- ests of Women in the way of education, work, household affairs, dress. etc., receive liberal attention every week. Interesting letters from regular and occa- sional correspondents are more fully given than has heretofore been possible. The news of the theatres and ofoutdoors Sports is pre- sented when interest and importance justify. Agricultural news and hints for the farmers are carefully gathered and occupy more space than formerly.
