EDITORIAL LETTER.
\VASHINGTOI", D. 0., Jan. 13, ’90.
DEAR GAZETTE :—-Tlre half-mast flags
flying from the roof of the capitol mutely
announce that the dark wings of the death
angel have again swept down and borne
from earth one of the nation’s great men.
Judge 0: illiarn D. Kelly, a representative
of the great state of Pennsylvania, after a
few days of intense suffering here at his
hotel, passed to “that bournc from .whcnee
no travel r returns.” Short and fervent
and appropriate funeral rites were ob—
served in the hall of the Horrse Saturday
over his remains, prior to their convey-
ance to his home in Philadelphia, where
his burial is to take place today. Judge
Kelly was Ithe oldest member of the House
in consecutive service. He Was familiar-
ly called “the Father of the House," and
“the Nestor of the House.” Singularly
enough the next longest period of contin-
uous service falls to the lot of another
equally distinguished Pennsylvanian,
Samuel J. Randall, who also is so serious-
ly ill that the gravest fears are felt least he
too should “trill by the wayside,” like his
eminent colleague, “with the harness on.”
Judge Kelly will be remembered by
many of our Older home readers as having.
several years ago, addressed Norwalk
audiences on repeated occasions during
important state and national elections in
Connecticut. His princrpal theme was
always “Protection to the American la-
borer and American productions." Your
correspondent recalls having arranged an
appointment for him to speak at Westport
some twenty or more years ago, and where
in the height of his eloquence, he was
rudely interrupted by a half—drunken
democrat, who had the appearance of
being one of the lower order of day labor-
ers. The interruption, instead of proving
an annoyance to the Judge, seemed only
to add new inspiration and intensity of
eloquence to his impassioned plea that
this nation should protect the humblest
of its citizens in the wages he should
earn, and elevate him in every way pos-
sible, in education, in morality, in the
food he should eat, the clothes he should
wear, the home he might earn and main-
tain for his wife and children, instead of
degrading him to the level of the pauper
paid, pauper fed, housed and clothed
workingmen of Europe, and so that such
as he, who had interrupted him, might
catch the inspiration for nobler living and
better behavior.
WORLD’S FAIR.
The “giants” of New York, Washing-
ton, St. Louis and Chicago, met at the
Senate reception room on Satueday and
made their respective pleas before the
committee on the location of the proposed
quad ro-centennial fair for 1892. The New
York delegates to the number of some
two hundred, came over. in a special train,
and were headed by Mayor Grant and
Chauncey Depew. Dr. Depew led Oil’ in
one of his happiest and most characteristic
speeches, and certainly left a profound
impression, despite his humor and irresist-
ible drollery. Ex~Scnator Warner Miller
closed the debate for the Empire state,
when Chicago’s case was opened by Mayor
Creiger of that city.
Saturday night Congressmen Flower
and Belden, of New York, gave a monster
dinner at the Arlington to their delegates
and the chief men of the delegations from
the other three rival cities, together with
congressmen, newspaper men, etc. There
was such a happy informality about the
gathering that it made friends'of all com-
petitors from the start. The delegates
from rival cities clinked glasses with each
other, and if a vote on the fair had been
taken there, the Spirit of the event would
have demanded that each representative
present should declare,out of compliment,
for the other fellow’s town. It was mid-
night before the reception broke up, and
when the lights went out the feeling of
good will and hospitality had been thor-
oughly established between the delega-
tions from the cities asking for the world’s
fair.
TARIFF.
A large delegation of bat men from
Orange, N. J., and Danbury, Conn., were
before the ways and means comnrittce of
the House on Thursday of last week.
Norwalk did not seem to be very frilly
represented, unless the presence before
the committee of Attorney J. Belden
Hurlbutt filled the bill. He was intro-
duced to the committee, as were the other
Connecticut gentlemen, by Congressman
Miles, but the joke was that it could not
be told whether Hurlbritt was the most
interested in the higher tariff on the hats,
or in the scheme to get two public build-
ings erected in Norwalk. He was for
Norwalk, however, all the time, and con-
sistently and persistently “for the old flag
and an appropriation.”
James L. Carr, of Orange, made the
principal argument in support Of the pc-
tilion of the American frrr hat matters,
whom he represented, and asked to have
the present duties on fur hats ra‘Sed us
follows-z—On lr'rls valued at $5 a dozen a
duty of $1.50 per dCZen; hats between
$5 and $10 per doZen, a duty of $3 per
dozen. All Iralsabovu $10 per dozmr a
uniform duty of $5 per ilozmi, and 30 per
cent. ud valorem in addition on all grades
of such high priced hats. TWO journey-
men liirttcrs wpreprescnt, who had Work-
cd in English shops. They narrated the
depressing-effects on workmen of Euro-
pean wages.

presented the interests of the button
manufacturers Of the United States at the
same meet-ing of the committee. He
must be raised, else American manufac-
turers would bc driven out of the busiuess.
It was solely a question Of the lower wages
paid operatives in European factories. If
Americans would work as cheaply as they
do abroad this nation. could beat the
world in manufactrrring.~
NEW BUILDINGS.
Senator Platt has introduced a bill for a
new Department of the Interior building,
which is greatly needed. If this measure
is carried, it will leave the patent Office in
frrll occupancy of its present quarters,
which are none trio ample for the large
and rapidly growing demands on that
institution, and which has done so much
for the development and increased wealth
of the nation. .
The Morrill bill for the condemnation
of the square on the northeast side of the
Senate Park, and opposite the square
recently condemned. and upon which the
national library is now being erected, will
be vigorously pushed to a passage this
session for the purpose of erecting thereon
a U. S. Snprerne Court building, which is
imperatively needed. The court now oc-
cupies theold Senate chamber, which is
totally inadequate to its needs and in
every way discreditable to this wealthy
nation. In the plot thus sought to be
condemned is the liOiiSe recently pur-
chased by Mr. William R. Lockwood, of
Norwalk. The use of this square for the
purpose designated will also give the
properties recently purchased by Mr.
Lockwood and Major George M. Holmes,
on Second street, a frontage on the Sn-
preme Court Building Park, and thus
greatly enhance their present values.
BIG RAILROAD SCHEME.
The railroad committee Of the Pan-
American congress, of which -ex-Senator
Davis is the active spirit, is giving serious
attention to a proposition for the construc-
tion Of an international American railroad,
by which all the nations of this continent
may be brought into easy communication.
With the American and Mexican systems,
and the roads already constructed in South
America, it is thought that it would not
be difficult to make the necessary connec-
tions fora complete line of communica—
tion. It is understood that the foreign
members of the committee state that their
govcrments will be willing to assist the
project by large land ‘grants along the
route if the United States will raise the
necessary money by indorsing the con-
struction bonds.
GAS.
Washington, like every- other place
where gas is used, is unhappy and discon-
tented with its illuminating power and
quality. Since the introduction or elec-
tric lights, this feeling has become inten-
sified, one honest reason being, no doubt,
that the human eye having been made
familiar with more light, demands more.
A resolution has been introduced by Sena-
tor Butlcr for the purchase of the Wash-
ington gas light plant- so that gas of the
best quality may be furnished at actual
cost.
REV. DR. NOBLE.
The little church over which Rev. Dr.
Noble presided as “temporary pastor, and
to whose membership, during his ministry
here, more than double the number of its
original members were added, is now pre
paring to settle a new pastor. They deeply
feel the loss of Dr. and Mrs. Noble, and
without a. single dissenting voice lament
their departure.
Thursday’s Washington Star says:
" A meeting of the Eastern church.
was held last evening for the purpose of
choosing a commitee to select a pastor to
succeed Rev. Dr. T._ K. Noble. This
church has been under the acting pastor-
ate Of Dr. Noble, who, on the lst Of Jan-
uary, removed to Norwalk, Conn. The
church has increased its membership quite
largely under the care of Dr. Noble. The
Eastern Presbyterian church, with its lo-
cation in the midst of the rapidly growing
northeast section, presents a most favora-
ble opportunity for a field of labor for Dr.
Noble’s successor.”

MISCELLANEOUS.
Senator Voorhes made a fierce assault
on cit-Commissioner of Pensions Dudley
in the Senate last week, anent his famous
alleged “blocks of five" letter. Senator
Edmunds “got back” at the virtuous de-
fender of the purity of Indiana politics in
a most damaging way, and without once

"seven more mules” by the noted Barnum
telegram.

He is a. Republican,
Major J. C. Kinney, who for the past
eighteen years has been on the editorial
force of the Hartford Courant, has been
nominated by President Harrison as post-
master at Hartford, one of the best federal
offices in the state. Major Kinney is a son
of the late Rev. E. D. Kinney, so long
pastor of the Congregational church at
Darien, and one of the original abolitionists
of sixty years ago.
on the Major, for part of his school days
were spent at the Old Coffin Academy 7
(about 1852) and later he finished his pre-l
paratory studies for Yale at the Soutlj
Norwalk High school. He has many friend
here who remember him. Probably his
first newspaper work was as correspondent
from Darien Of the GAZETTE, away back in
the fifties when he was a school boy. Old
residents of Darien, around the center, tell
to-day how they always used to know \\ hen
the democrats were defeated at a state or
national election, because John Kcnneyl
would break into the church through ii
window, as soon as the result was known'
and ring the church bell. In those days
the democrats had an Old cannon—it was
sunk in Five Mile River harbor in 1861},
because its owner used it to celebrate secesn
sion victories—which they used to haul to.

church, where the election was held. They

to this he has been an active worker for the
republican cause. He was secretary Of the
Young Men’s Fremont club of Greenwich,
in 1856, but cast his first vote in l860
for Abraham Lincoln; The only campaign
since then on which he has mt been active
was that of 1864, and in that he did what
he could to help, by his army letters to the
GAZETTE, from Mobile Bay where he was
on duty on F arragut’s flagship.

Horse Notes.
Ruridlc &. White, of Danbury, Connect-
icut’s most enterprising breeders of the
trotting horse, who have already in ashort
space of time invested a small fortune in
the most fashionably bred stock of the
country have added one more to their list
in the purchase of a son of Gov. Stanford’s
celebrated srre of trotters. Price said to
be $6,500. AS this horse is a half brother
to the wonderful little mare Sunol, which
recently trotted as a 3 year old in 2.10;»,
it makes a valuable addition to the breed-
ing interests of this part of the country.
Bell Boy, who, not long since, brought
$57,000 at auction, was burned to death
on Saturday, with a number Of valuable
horses in Kentucky.
Autevol’s record, 2 19;, has attracted

It is said $35,000 has been Offered for him.

a strong one. Every member is an artist
