‘ . DEA-R GAZETTE ;—~'Th_e dark clOuds of

' funeral woe have settled down upon the

nation’s capital with denser gloom than
when last we wrote.
“The air is full Of farewells to the dying,

And Inournings for, the dead ;,
The heart of Rachael, for her children crying,

Will not be comforted 7’ . _
Suddenly and unexpectedly as the light-
n‘ng’s crash from out a cloudless sky, on
Wednesday cytnipg last, WALKER BLAINE,
the brilliant and talented son of America’s
great minister of J state, passed through
earth’s sunset-gateto the life immortal.
He had been ill with the prevailing infin-
enza, but was rip and about his room un-
til a fr-w brief hours before his departure.
Suddenly symptoms Of pneumonia set in,
yet his physicians our family had thought
his end near, and so suddenly and peace-
fully liis young lil'e’weut out that his sis-
tcrs at his bedside \\ ere not aware of the
fatal result urrtil alter his bright and ever
cordial and genial spirit had flown. It
would be difficult to name any othtr
perSon in official, Civil or social life here,
Whose death would,come home to so
many" hearts and homes as a painful per-
sonal bereavement. He graduated at
Yale in the class of ’76 with creditable
honors, subsequently studied law and Was
admitted to the bii‘, but when his dis-
tinguished father was called to the same
high office he now fills, in the cabinet. Of
President Garfield, he came to the pre-
mier’s assistance in the department Of
lmost the last act. of the martyred
Garfield was to commission young Blaine
an assistant secretary of state, so lrigh‘was
his regard fort ‘ abilities and so warm
his affection for his charming pcrsOnal
qualities. He had inherited in a conspicu-
ous degree the warm-hearted and great
natured qualities, which have made his
father the one pro-eminently revered and
worshiped idol of millions Of his fellow
countrymen, and the recipient of a devo-
tion unparalleled among living statesmen
and of an affluence of love more priceless
than Presidencies or all other honors a
loyal people could confer upon its favorite
leader. Cfall his children this scn was
the fond father‘s most relied upon, most
helping and helpfirl aid. He was the
“strong staff” and sure support of the
parents’ declining years. His sudden and
untimely death falls upon all the stricken
family, but especially, upon the heart-
broken father with a crushing weight Of
woe. The President, his cabinet minis-
ters, the supreme court, members of the
Senate and House of Representatives,
foreign ministers, and the renowned and
distinguished of all nations, with hosts of
loving friends from the private walks of
life, crowded about his flower-laden bier
at the funeral rites on Saturday eager to
pay their last tribute of respect to him
whom in life they so revered. The Star,
in its report of the funeral service at the
t‘lrureh of the Covenant, says:—

Seu-etary Blaine was very much affect-
ed. Almost throughout the entire service
his silvery crowned head was bowed.
Once or'twice he looked up at Dr. Hamlin,
who, from behind ascreen of palms, plants
and flowers, was reading scriptural conso-
lation, and the haggard face would be
calm. Then his eyes would lower until
they saw the black casket beneath the
festOoued roses and heaped up. lilies and
vro-lets, and he would sob as though his
heart was broken. Many wept out of
sympathy for the great man’s grief. The
Spirit of mourning pervaded the sweet-
scentcd atmosphere, and even the bright
flowers and fresh green of the smilax and
palm Were indicative of the end to which
all mortality must sooner or later come.
Most Of the floral offerings were wreaths.
Roses, white and red and of the rare vari-
eties, lilies of the valley and the callas and
violets were most prominent. Among
those who contributed were the President
and Mrs. Harrison, Vice-President and
Mrs Morton, the Venezuelan claims com-
mission, the employes Of the state depart-
ment, Mrs. R. R. Hitt, Mrs. Senator Hale,
Mrs. Zach Chandler, and Senator and Mrs.
Stanford. The latter couple sent lilies of
the valley and orchids tied with broad
white ribbon, On which in gilt letters was
the inscription : “He givetlr His Beloved
sleep.”

He was buried at Oak Hill Cemetery,
that “beautiful garden of the dead.” Dr.
Hamlin stood at the head of the grave and
beside hi'm'stood Secretary Blaine, who,
although himself deeply prostrated, was
able to support the almost fainting form
of M rs. Blaine. It was evidently with
the greatest difficulty that Mr. Blaine was
able to control his emotion, while all his
children who stood close around‘ showed
signs Of deepest grief.

A most pathetic incident of the Blaine
obsequies is the follqwing dispatch, which
Secretary Blaine, while sitting in the

‘shadow of his own unrrtterable sorrow,

penned and sent to his old friend, Lewis
Barker, Of Bangor, who has several times
spoken in Nor-walk. Mr. Barker’s son
died in Boston Friday morning, a few
hours after the death of Walker Blaine.
The secretary’s touching expression of
sympathy was as follows :—

“Out of the depth of my own grief I sympa-

thize tenderly wrth you.
JAMES G. BLAINE.”

Both of the deceased young men were
warm boyhood friends and of the same age.
SECRETARY WINDOM’S SILVER BILL.

The cabinet meeting Friday was at-
tended by all the members except Secre-
tary Blaine. Secretary Windom submitted
a draft of the bill prepared by himself in
regard to’ the coinage of. silver, and it
received the approvalof the President and
most of the members of the cabinet. The

. bill will probably be introduced in the

 

NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY JANUARY 22 1890.

the House Of Representatives by Mr. Con-

ger on Monday.
THE TARIFF.

The ways and means committee are
working away vigorously upon the new
tariff bill. The Senate bill of the last
Congress istaken as the foundation upon
which to work. Congressman Simons pre-
sented the claims of one of his constituents,
who is a tinsel thread maker, and William
F. Rockwell, of Meridcn, was here Friday
looking after his interests in the steel pen
and cutlery schedule in the new bill.

COPYRIGHT.

Senator Platt has been authorized by
the committee on patents to report to the
Senate the same bill that was reported to
the fiftieth congress, but which failed of

passage.
DUMB ANINALS.

Washington has one Of the most efficient
societies for the prevention of cruelty to
dumb animals in the country. It has just
held it annual meeting and reports that
during the year there were 1,591 cases of
cruelty to animals. Of these 1,371 were
remedied without prosecution, and 215
were prosecutions resulting in 198 con-
victions. The report states that it is
worthy of note that an ong the. laboring
class better horses are used and less
cruelty is practiced tr ward them than
formerly.

ANOTHER STAR FOP. OUR FLAG.

The Senate committee on territories has
authorized a favorable report for the ad-
mission of the state of Wyoming.

PERSONALS.

Senator l-Iawley returned from attend-
ance upon the funeral of his old business
partner at Hartford in time to be present
at Walker Blaine’s funeral on Saturday.
Senator Platt was also in attendance.

The startling statement comes from
Ohio that the third democratic member of
the Senate of that state has just died
leaving that body a tie It would seem
that Mr. Brice was elected a U. S. senator
none to soon.

Information, from reliable sources, re_
ceived here from Iowa is to the effect that
Senator Allison will surely be re-elected.

Ex—Gov. Foraker, of Ohio, is here on
the ballot box forgery investigation. His
rooms are nightly crowded by enthusiastic
and ardent admirers. The governor is a
man with red blood in his veins, and to
meet him is to be won over to him, so err-
gaging and winning are his ways.

Recorder Trotter, the colored democrat
President Cleveland imported from Bos-
ton, has been forced by Senator Ingalls to
admit that the net income of his Office for
the two years and ten months he has held
it exceeds forty thousand dollars. This
statement Of facts induced Senator Dawes
to introduce his bill making it a salaried
office at three thousand dollars per year.

Commissioner Of Patents Mitchell and
Congressman Simons are afflicted with
the grippe.

S. W'. Kellogg and son, of Waterbury,
and W. O. Crittenden, of New Haven,
were here last week.

“SWIVEL” SERVICE.

Arrcnt the confirmation of Commissioner
Roosevelt the Past thus refers to its hostil-
ity to to the law :—

What the Post has Opposed, and what it
will continue to oppose, is a law that is a
sham from beginning to end ; a law that
in every line is un-American; a law that
by manipulatiOn has degraded the public
service; a law that was conceived in hy-
pocrisy and brought forth in cowardice; a
law that was intended as a cheat. No
Inore fit man could be found to manipu-
late such a law than Roosevelt.

KILPATRICK'S SWORD.

Senator McPherson and Representative
Beckwith, of New Jersey, accompanied
Mrs. Gen. Kilpatrick to the office of the
secretary of war this morning and took
part with her in an interesting scene.
Secretary Proctor and General Schofield
were present. Senator McPherson, in be-
half of Mrs. Kilparrick, presented to the
war department the sword worn by Gen.
Kilpatrick to be kept among other memor-
ials of the war in the department. The
secretary received it for the department.

WORLD’s FAIR.

TO-day the speaker appointed
world’s fair committee as follows :

Messrs. Candler, 6f Massachusetts ; Hitt,
of Illinois; Bowden, Of Virginia; Belden,
of New York ; Frank, Of Missouri; Spring-
er, of Illinois; Hatch, Of Missouri; Wilson,
of West Virginia, and Flower, of New
York.

Miss Mary B. Ferry, of Norwalk, has
been re—elected secretary of the Newsboys’
Aid Society here.

A Post reporter “caught On” to Mr. D.
P. Osborn, of East Norwalk, who arrived
here last week, and got the following:—

Mr. Osborn has been traveling through
the states of New Jersey and Delaware,
and states that the peach trees in some
localities are in full bloom and the vege-
tation as far along as is usual for the
months of May and June. The fruit
growers are fearful that a cold snap will
destroy all chances for a peach crop this
year. This feeling, Mr. Osborn says, is
not confined to the chronic grutnblers but
is general.

Mrs. Milo Parsons, of Norwalk, has
been visiting Mr. and Mrs. William A.
Croffut at their elegant residence on Capi-
tol Hill for the past fortnight. Shere-
turned home Friday, and now Mr. Wm.
Logan and his brlde, Of Danbury, are
expected to arrive here Thursday and be
their guests for a season. Mr. Croffut
will be remembered as formerly connect-
ed with the Jeffersonian of Danbury.

What For A New Park-

That romantically beautiful plot of land
known as the “Amphitheatre,” having
now become the property of the Norwalk
Savings Society, at a valuation far less
than half at which it can be retailer! out
at, for vrlla sites and business and build-
ing lots, makes the present a most excel-
lent time for our borough to secure it for
a public park, worthy the name and of
Nor-walk. The plot comprises anywhere
from a dozen to fifteen acres of perfectly
level land, right in the centre of our bor-
ough and easy of access from all sec-
tions, by our people. It has for years
been a noted and popular picnic ground,
and for several years, was used as the
show grorrnds of the Fair-field I. County
Agricultural Society. It would have been
purchased by this society for its perma-
nent grounds had not its value,been too
great for the resources of its treasrrry.
The opportunity offered now is a very
rare one and one that cannot be equalled
for this purpose, anywhere it) any part of
our beautiful town. It is bounded on the
north by Catharine street, on the east by
Wilton avenue, on the south by the Union
Manufacturing Company’s Inill pond and
lands of Mrs. Samuel Lynes, and on the
west by the pond and Norwalk River. At
its southwestern end is a beautiful grove
of primeval forest trees, bordered by the
mirl pond and its cascade of waters over
the dam. On its western line of vision,
rise the wooded and rocky hillsides abovo
and bounding Riverside avenue, and giv-
ing tO the whole property a rare and phe-
nomenal beauty for the purposes Of a
park. The. late Dr. Asa Hill was fora
long time enthusiastically earnest in his
cffbrts to have tlresc grounds utilized for
and converted into a village cemetery.
But many others, as fully aware of Its
picturesque and charming layout and sur-
roundings, were equally positive that the
plot would and should prove more valua-
ble and serviceable to the needs of the
living than it possibly _ could to the
dead. Such an Opportunity cannot oc-

cur again, for no land of equal
beauty and desirablcness of loca-
tion, for the public use and com-
fort as a park, does not exist.

Park bonds at 4 per cent. interest would
readily float, and future generations would
not only joyfully pay them but rise up
and call all blessed who were instrumental
in conferring so great and desirable a
public berrefaction. Not over a hundred
dollars need be expended to make this
property immediately available for the

purposes of a park.

The Leading People.

One of our exchanges in the western
part of Fairfield county urges merchants
to advertise in it: cause the “leading
people” of the place are its subscribers.
Now who are the “leading people" any-
way? Probably the paper refers to those
who are rich. But experience teaches
that such “leading people,” in a majority
of instances, go out of town to purchase
their goods and let the home merchant
rely upon the trade of the “common
herd” for support—Bridgeport Post.

Our esteemed contemporary falls into a
very common error—an error which is
embraced by some through ignorance,
and by others through low, sordid motives
of demagogy. It is characteristic of these
latter to meet every allusion to the “lead-
ing people” with the frantic accusation
that he who makes such allusion is. a
panderer to wealth, aristocracy and social
station, and arrayed against the masses,
or the “common people.” Such specious
philosophy emanates from the most con-
temptible stripe of demagogues and syco
phants. The GAZETTE has repeatedly ex-
pressed pride in its commercial relations
with the “leading people” of this town
and vicinity. The character and standing
of the GAZETTE’S constituency has always
been its pride through all the years Of. its
long and honorable career. The Post
says : “Now who are the ‘leading people’,
anyway ? Probably the paper refers to
those who are rich.” The “leading peo-
ple” may be rich, or they may be poor, or
they may be neither. They are generally
rich enough to pay for what they get,

and poor enough to insist upon
getting what they pay for. They
may ornament high society ; , they

may shine in the professions; they may
excel at the work-bench, and they may
move withouta distinctive individuality
in what the Post flippantly terms the
“common herd.” They are the peeple of.
intelligence, of uprightness, Of the quali-
ties that make a man a man. Above all,
they are the people'who are able to dis-
cern between honesty and hypocrisy, be-
tween candor and bluster, between argu.
ment and bulldozing, between the reliable
and the sensational, between the oak and
the mushroom, between conviction and
demagogism. The leading people, be
they rich or poor, are not such as cringe
at the threat of blackguard, nor are they
coaxed by the flattery Of the fawning syc-

ophant. They are independent; they
are self reliant; they are—the “leading
people.” . ‘ .

Worth Trying.

Tire proposition of Warden Lee for the
appointment of a superintendent of public
works is worthy of more than passing
consideration. Such an Officer, if the
proper man were selected, could not only
save the taxpayers of this borough a large
sum of money each and every year, but
greatly promote the safety, healthfulncss
and comfort of living here. He should be
empowered to act as health, fire, building,
street, sidewalk and sewer inspector. His
duties should cover a close inspection, if
not control, of the expenditure of every
dollar of the people’s money for any and
all these and any other matters coming
under borough authority, and to be sub
ject of corrrse to the close supervision Of
the warden and board of burgesses. A
man with the sound judgment, clear head
and first-class business qualities of General
Charles Olmstcad, for instance, in such a
position, we candidly believe, would save
thousands of dollars to our borough, even
though he were paid $2,000 a year for his
services. This is a subject that will bear
a deal of thinking.

 

A Strike in Danbury.

Danbury is again enjoying the luxury
of another h..tters’ turnout, such as she
has not experienced in a number Of years,
and one. which is apparently precipitated
and complicated by the very provisions
designed and accepted to obviate such
occurrences and simplify the work of
their adjustment. A prominent Danbury
gentleman gives the GAZETTE the story Of
the difficulty, substantially as follows: It
having been brought tO the attention of
the local finishers’ assocration that three
unregistered boys were employed in the
finishing room of C. H. Merritt’s factory,
a special meeting of the association was
called on Thursday evening, at which it
was voted that unless Merritt discharged
the boys the next day, the men in the
shop should leave off work. The boss
refused to discharge the boys, and on
Saturday the men went on a turn-out, the
trade arguing that Mr. Merritt had broken
that provision of the accepted articles of
agreement stipulating that no boys who
were not registered on the books Of the
association should be employed by any
manufacturer as apprentices. The man-
ufacturers of the town immediately called
a meeting of their association and voted
to stand by Mr. Merritt, charging the
finishers’ association with a breach of the
agreement that all difficulties of this
nature should be submitted to arbitration
and that pending such arbitration the men
should continue at work. Both associa-
tions held separate meetings Saturday
night, when it was hoped compromise
measures would be adopted. The man-
ufacturers waited at their place of meeting
until after midnight. for a message from
the finishers’ meeting, but at the latter no
decision could be arrived at, and both
meetings adjourned. By this time the
people were awake to the apprehensron
that the affair was assuming a serious
phase, and there was a general sentiment
in the community hoping that the scenes
and business depressron that attended the

and the great Norwalk strike Of 1884,
might not be repeated, and that the par-

ties in interest might effect a compromiSe.
At a meeting of the manufacturers’ asso-
ciation held on Monday evening it was
decided that the association should strictly
observe theletter of the understanding
previously agreed upon, and close up all
their factories until the Merritt shop diffi-
culty should be settledé Accordingly yes-
terday morning sixteen shops in the city
shut down, throwing several hundred
hands out of employment. It is sincerely
hoped that the difficulty will be speedily
remedied and that the period of enforced
idleness will be brief.

 

Our Contemporaries.
The Meriden Daily Journal, one of the
liveliest and cheer-lest papers that comes
to our exchange table, is enlarged to eight
pages and has more meat in it than some
publishers would get into eighty-eight
pages.

The Derby Transcript’s evening edition
has started on its secOnd volume, full of
pluck and cheerful spirits.

C. Collard Adams, of the Waterbury
Democrat, formerly Of the Naugatnck Re-
view, is seriously ill with pneumonia.

Tire church Record and theSouthport
Advertiser have been moved from South-
port to New York.

The Greenwich Opinion was notprinted
last week. The editor had the grippe.
The St. Paul, (Minn.) Saturday evening

A Large Cloak Sale.

The D. M. Read 00., during the warm
and rainy days were busily engaged mark-
ing down their entire cloak Stock, not ex-
pecting-that the cold weather would come
so soon. Their advertisements Of the re-
duction appeared and they must now hold
to the reduced prices which are in our ad-
vertising columns. This cloak sale is the
largest they have held for seasons, and
coming as it does while cold weather is
here, makes it doubly advantageous to
the purchaser. This sale in addition to
the regular January clearance sale which
The D. M. Read Co. always hold, makes
it of double importance for buyers. Quite
'a saving in the purchase of a carpet for
rooms requiring thirty yards or less can
now be made as they give a selection from
the best grade of ingrain, tapestry, body
brussels and mo uettes at about one-half
regular price. his is in consequence of
their annual inventory, which is on Jan-
uary 3lst. ,
