DEAR Gazurru z—The House passed the.
general pension appropriation billFriday,
and then passed the bill for the retirement
of General John C. Fremont as major
general Of the regular army. From Gen-
eral Spinola’s just and eloquent report the
following extracts are clipped :

i “The name of General Fremont is
identified forever with some of the proud-
est and most grateful passages in American
history. His 20,000 miles of wilderness
explorations in the midst of the inclemen-
cies of nature and the ferocities of jealous
and merciless tribes, his powers of endur.
anCe in a slender form, his intrepid cool-
ness in the most appalling dangers, his
majestic sway over savage and enlightened
men, his vast contributions to science, his
controlling energy in the extenswn of .Our
empire, his lofty and unsullied ambition,
his iriagnaniniity, humanity, genius, suf-
feiiiigs and heroism, should make . all
levels of progress, learning and virtue
rejoice that Fremont’s Services havebeen
rewarded by the admiration and gratitude
of the nation and mankind. '

The feet of three men have pressed the
slopes Of the Rocky Mountains, whose
names are associated forever with these
ranges. Humboldt, the Nestor of scien-
tific travelers; Audobon, the interpreter
of nature; and Fremont, the pathfinder
Of empire. The youngest of all is as 11-

lustrious as either, for fortune has linked‘

his name with the history of the republic
as startling to the world as the announce-
ment of its existence. To him was com-
mitted the task of Opening the gates of
our golden Pacific empire. He planned
the first of those distant and perilous
expeditions which have given lustre to his
name. ~ ' .

Having received a lieutenant’s commis-
sion of the Corps of Topographical En-
gineers, he prOposed to the secretary of
war to penetrate the Rocky Mountains.
His plan was-approved, and in 1842 With
a handful of men gathered on the Missouri
frontier he reached and explored the
south pass;"lie achieved more than his
instructions required. His report was
printed by the Senate, translated into
foreign languages, and the screntfic‘ world
lookd upon Fremont as one of its bene-
factors. Impatient, however, for broader
and more hazardous fields, he planned a
new expedition. His first had carried
him to the summit of the Rocky Moun-
tains, and in November, 1843, hestood Oh
Fort Vancouver, witlr the calm waters of
the Pacific at his feet. On. his return he
was lost to the world nine months travers-
ing 3,500 miles in sight of eternal snows,
in which he eXplored and revealed the»
grand features of Alta California, the
Sierra Nevada, the Valley of San Joaquin
and Sacramento, il' .l established the
physical geOgraphy and natural history
on the western part of our continent.

He was again in Washington in August,
.1844; his report put the seal to the fame
of the young explorer.

In 184-5 he was again on his way to the
Pacific with his mountain comrades, to
examine in detail the Pacific slope of the
continent, which resulted in giving a
volume of new science to the world and,
California to the United States. ' _

His achievements, military and cry].

th‘m Jung ,, .. _ ..... "mu iuLX_ O
illlgiiiz bccupatron by our naval and mili-
tary forces, resulted in its acquisition.
was rewarded by the people of California,
when it became an independent and
sovereign state, by making him the first
senator to represent them in the Congress
‘of the United States.” -

Representative Russell got through the
Senate bill appropriating $75,000 for a
public building at New London. He has
also introduced a bill for the collection
and publication in one volume of all the
Presidential inaugural addresses delivered
since the formation of the government till
now. This will bea popular book, and
thirty thousand copies are proposed in the
bill to be printed. '

Senator Moody has introduced the bill,
in which our Norwalk Dr. Bridges and
other Connecticut veterinary surgeons
have taken a special interest, creating the
grade Of veterinary surgeon in the army
with the grade and pay ofa lieutenant Of
cavalry, about $125 per month.

Senator Paddock has introduced a bill
transferring the fish commissiou and all
its officers and belongings to ,the control
of the agricultural department.

Senator Voorhees, who is both an ole—e
quent debater anda first—class democratic
politician, has got in-the following bid for
the granger vote :

Whereas, The deep and widespread de-~
pression and decay of the agricultural in-
terests of the American peOple, the enor—
mous and appalling amount Of mortgaged
indebtedness of agricultural lands, the
total failure of home markets to furnish
remunerative prices for farm productions,
the palpable scarcity and insufficiency of
money in circulation in the hands of the
people with which to transaet the business
of the conntry and effect exchanges of
property and labor at fair rates, are cir—
cumstances of the most overwhelming
importance to the safety and well being
of the government ; therefore

Be it resolved, That it is the highest duty
of Congress in the present crisrs to lay
aside all discussion and consideration of
mere party issues, and to give prompt and
immediate attention to the preparation
and adoption of such measures as are
required for the relief of the farmers and
other over-taxed and underpaid laborers
of the United States. .

The Iowa, Kansas and other grangers
have petitioned their representatives in
Congress for the enactment of some
measures Of relief from the prevailing
distresses of the farmer classes. The
Kansas Farmers’ Alliance call public at-
tention to the depression of their business
and the alarming increase of mortgaged
indebtedness on farm lands. They demand
legislation against trusts, combines, unjust
discriminations in freights on the part of
railroads, etc. The question of the gen-
eral depression of agricultural interests
has received elaborate consideration at
the agricultural department and General
Dodge, in a report made to Secretary
Rusk, suggests the raising of a greater

 

diversity of crops on the part of the farm-
er, aud a general suppression Of “middle-
men,” who, in late'years, have combined
to devour all the profits of the farm. This
unfortunate condition of the agriculturist
does not seem to be confined to any one
section, but every state in, the Union
seems to be more or less affected. The
amelioration of the farming industry is
bound to be a live political issue until
something practical is accomplished.

The reports received at the department
of agriculture from the Carolina rice belt
are to the efiect that the crop of 1890 will
be the largest and best'for many years.
The open winter has facilitated planting,
which is farther ahead than ever known

before.
DEATH OF GENERAL cnoox.

The sudden death of the greatest of all
our Indian generals was a painful shock
to all his hosts Of friends here. The sec-
retary of war at once issued an order to
the army announcing his death and recit-
ing his gallant services and expressing
appreciation of the great loss sustained by
the service. It includes the following
tribute to his character :

“General Crook was as truthful and
sincere as he was fearless and brave, com-
bining qualities admirably fitting him for
the duties in which he was so long en-
gaged upon the frontier. He could treat
With the Indians successfully, for their
faith in his honesty in the council was as
strong as their fear of his courage and
sagacity in the field. A true soldier, a
good» citizen. faithful to duty, upright of
purpdse, considerate to his interiors, smi—
ple and modest in his demeanor towards
all, his life and example may well be
commended to all young men and espe-
cially those of the army in which he so
honorably served.”

AUSTIN CORBIN’S STOLEN WINE.

Special Agent Whitehead has made a
report to the Treasury Department in re-
gard to the complaint of Mr. Austin Cor—
bin of the loss of a portion of wine import-
ed by him while the same was in the
public storehouse under Government
control. He resents the imputation that
public storehouse officials are given to
stealing.

A SUIT SETTLED.

Chief Justice Fuller has just rendered
an opinion hflirming the judgment. of the
supreme court of the District of. Columbia
in favor Of John H. Gheeu, in the suit
brought against him by Seth Osborne, ad—
ministratorof the estate of Cyrus Osborne-
Tlie suit grOws out of a livery stable part-
ncrship between Cyrus Osborne and Gheeu,
begun in 1872 and terminated at the sus-
gestion of Gheeu in 1881. Gheeu was the
active member of the firm, while Osborne
furnished the capital with which to begin
the business. »

The Osbornes were natives of Bedding
and well known in Norwalk, and cousins
to John Osborne, of West avenue. It is
claimed that the deceased Cyrus put
$30,000 into his partner’s hands, and,
being no business man or bookkeeper,
came out stripped of his fortune, while
the partner, prevrously a poor man, now
is rich.

NORWALK FORTUNE mourn-0°

The delegation of Norwalk capitalists
en route to Tailapoosa, Ga., Spent a day
at the capital, and then joined the through
excursion of Boston business men, Wed-
nesday night, and proceeded on their
journey south. The party consisted of
Major G. M. Holmes, Wm. R. Lockwood
and Geo. R. Scofield, of the borough; R.
H. Rowan, John H. Knapp, Edwin
Adams, E. H. Mathewson, and our Rep-
resentative, John H. Ferris, of the city,
Wm. R. and Josiah R. Marvin, of East
Norwalk. The purpose Of these “money
kings” is conjectured not to be all for
pleasure, but to join in :1 Norwalk syndi-
cate for the purpose of securing some of
the fabulous fortunes lying around loose
in mines and real estate in Georgia and
Alabama. Success to their venture. ‘

GENERAL scanner: DEAD.
Gen. Robert Cumming Schneck, Con—
gressman, soldier, diplomat, and a leader
in public affairs-a generation or more ago,
died Sunday. evening Of pneumonia, at his
residence, on Thomas Circle, at the age of
eighty-one years. It was not until Satur—
day that it was thought that he was
seriously ill, but from that‘time, his friends
were prepared for the worst because of

. his advanced age.

nus.

The committee of ways and means has
not yet reported to the House, nor yet to
the full committee, the completed parts of
the new tariff bill.’ Nevertheless, that
portion of the committee to whom the
question of the tariff on hats was referred,
has decided to recommend a duty Of 55
per cent. on all imported hats composed
wholly of, or where fur is the article of
chief value, in either wholly or partially
manufactured hats for men’s, women’s Or
children’s wear. Fifty-five per cent. was
not as much as the hatters desired, but
was as heavy a duty as the sub-committee
deemed it possible to carry through the
whole committee and through the House
and Senate. Norwalk and Da‘nbury will
be especially interested to know that there
is so good a prospect Of securing even so
large a duty as 55 per cent. '

MISCELLANEOUS.

The House has unseated Compton,
democrat, of Maryland, and given his
place to Mudd, republican, by a vote of
155 to 145. Compton was returned by a
vote of just even 16,000, Mudd receiving
just 181 less. The evidence showed that
in two Baltimore wards several hundred
white and colored republicans were driven
from the polls and were not allowed to
vote for Mudd, and strong evidence also
deduced that the vote was fraudulent.

Senator Aldrich has secured the appOint-
merit of 9. Providence financier for U. S.
bank examiner for Connecticut and Rhode
Island, in place of M. F. Dooley, of Hart-
fOrd.’ This’-- is'the'ofilce'held by A. B.

 

reach member of the committee presenting

., . .
Mygatt. of New Milford, from the creation
Of the Office to the advent of the Cleve— ~
land administration, and Senators Platt
and Hawley conceded the" justice of let-
ting “little Rhody” pick the present offi—
cial bone.

The Washington Post says, and its Edi—
tor certainly knows, for he was once a
pestmaster-general. that “it Will require
hard work and lots of it, to convince ex-
Consul General Waller that the Cleveland
administration was a failure. During the
Connecticut statesman’s residence at Lon-
don, he established business relations
which have since netted him a handsome
fortune.”

PERSONALS.

The President slipped away Thursday
p. m. to the eastern shore of Maryland,
and returned Saturday evening with some
sixty red head (not dead-head) ducks of
his own shooting.

Chairman McKinley hopes to be able to :
report his tariff bill to the House by the
end of the week, but his confidence is not
generally shared.

reached here yesterday.

Senator Hoar reported in favor Of the

or Miss Crabtrec, are quietly sojourning
here.

“Uncle Joe” Richardson, of Bridgeport,
is a guest at the Langham in “close com-
munion” with the Hon. Wm. D. Bishop.
Whether it means more railroads in Con-
necticut, new water works for Bridgeport,
or a settlement of the Park City’s long

respondent is not advised. if it is the
latter, he will bet his bottom nickel that
Mr. George B. Edmonds will be confirmed l
by the Senate as Collector Of the port for
the Fairfield District, before the end of
the present week.

Rev. Dr. Augustus Beard does not seem
to view Rev. Dr. Child’s departure from
“the faith, as once delivered to the (Pros.
byterian) saints,” as an unpardonable
transgression, for he was recently a cor.
dial visitor at Dr. Childs’ hospitable home
here, and took a friendly sup Of tea with
his aforetime denominational brother, just
the same as if nothing extraordinary had
happened.

That Railroad Conference.-

F or two months past the subject has been
under consideration, of sending a committee
to confer with the president of the Con-
solidated railroad as to the feasibility of
building a. separate double track road from
Portchester to New Haven in place Of~the
four tracking the present line.
ing was held Monday at 4 p. m. at the
president's office at New Haven. There
were present President Clark, Judge
Woodward, General D. N. Couch and
Messrs. Seymour, Hill, Hyatt, Wood, Greg-
ory, Keeler, Wilson and Smith. 4

E. J. Hill and J. S. Séymour submitted
written arguments and were followed by

 

 

liis'individual view of the case. Memorials
from the Warden and Burgesses, from the
Norwalk Board of Trade, from the Select-
men and a petition signed by every business
man in the Borough, were presented. The
Borough case being closed, President Clark
took up the points in order, and gave to the
committee a. full, frank and straightforward
reply from the company’s standpoint, going
into the merits of its engineering, econ-
omic, political, and commercial aspects and
meeting thewhole subject of the relations
of the company to the people of the state,
to other existing railroad company’s, to
“parallel” efforts in the past and possibili-
ties in the future, all with a candor, frank-
ness and ability that not only surprised the
committee, but thatcould not and did not,
fail to produce the very best "of feeling.

The discussion lasted nearly three hours
and the points on both sides were fully and
freely met and answered where the facts
admitted an answer. At the close, Presi-
dent Clark stated that the papers ‘would all
be submitted to the Board of Directors and
a full and fair consideration given to the
subject. The committee came away with
some new ideas on the subject "of railroads
in Connecticut, with a clear conviction of
the ability of President Clark to look out for
the welfare of the company he represents,
and with a unanimous expression of a feel-
ing that they had enjoyed an exceedingly
profitable and pleasant interview. ., It is
greatly to be hoped that‘ the object of the
meeting may be accomplished as there can
be no question but that it would be of great
benefit to this portion of the‘ state.

Two Millions for a Hotel!

If our Norwalk Board of Trade is not
humiliated beyond endurance and all our
feelings. of local pride lashed and rasped
unbearably, we must at once be up and do-
ing in the matter of our New Hotel, or else
be'outdone, eclipsed and forever degraded
in the eyes of an enlightened world, by the
liberality and enterprise of half civilized
Mexico! President Diaz has succeeded in
securing an appropriation from the con—
gress of our southern sister Republic of a
million dollars for the purpose of erecting
in the city of Mexico a new hotel and the
munificent subsidy is conditioned that the
parties engineering the enterprise, shall put
into the construction of the Hotel another
million, so that Mexico is in the way of
having the most costly, attractive and
luxurious liostelry on the globe. President
Diaz is a progressive ruler. He was an
earnest and active patron for the building
of the Mexican Central Railroad which
connects with the Texas Pacific and makes
his capital of easy and quiet access to New
Orleans and all other American cities. He
now sees that his capital city is deficient in
hotel accommodations for the great army of
tourists now pouring down into his semi-
tropic country. The result is here pres-
ented to an astonished world. Two mil-
lions Of dollars are to be immediately put
into the most palatial liostelry human
hands know how to build. But. Norwalk
wants no two-million hotel. Thirty to
fifty thousand dollars will answer every
need, beyond the purchase of a lot. We
want no hotel made secondary to a line
of stores beneath. Stores under hotels are
going out Of fashion. They increase the
fire risk and are going out of practice. But
one neat and convenient and safe in con—
struction, attractive in architecture and
when built, beyond all els‘ie, thoroughly
well and efficiently kept. As at present
advised, we can think Of no spot so eligible
and in all ways suitable, as the Bishop lot
011 the northeast corner of Mott Place and
Belden Avenue. We have been told, but
do not know it as air absolute fact, that the
present owner, Mr. Frank Bishop, stands
ready in the matter of, its sale, to carry out
the proposition made by his father in his
lifetime, which was $15,000 for the lot;
$10,000 in stock for the New Hotel CO. and
$5,000 in cash. While the total sum for
the lot may and probably does seem too
large to many conservative judges Of the
value of real estate, we are sure that for
the purposes of such a hotelas our borough
so pressingly needs and in the manner of
payments proposed, the conditions of sale
are by no means unreasonable. The need
of a new hotel, not in any sense “palatial,”
as that term is modernly understood as ap-
plied to a public house, but complete in
every essential cmnfort and modern con.-
venience and appointment, we take to be
conceded by every public spirited citizen.
It should be strictly a hotel and a home, for
transient and permanent guests, and not a
haberdasher’s shop for tradespeople. Com—-
plete in all modern appointments, of con»
struction, finish and furnishing, it should
be architecturally beautiful and a credit to.
our town and an institution in which every
good citizen should feel a personal interest
and pride. It should also be in every way
Constructed and adapted to an all-the-year-
round residence resort commensurate with
our local needs and the reasonable prospect
of attracting large numbers of visitors to

town. We believe such a. hotel will prove
a profitable investment.
