EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. 0., March 31, ’90.
DEAR GAZETTE:—Th0 House has, after
a fierce-struggle witir the opposing de-
mocracy. passed the bill admitting Wy-
oming into the Union Of States. The
feature in her constitution permitting
women to vote was made thes‘pecial target
Of attack, but inasmuch as the people of
that rich and marvelous territory lrad
placer] it there the republican majority Of
the House passed the enabling act without
demanding any change in the constitution
her citizens had adopted. At the present
rate of admisszon of new states it cannot
be long before our Federal Union is
rounded out with an even fifty states.
THE NEW TARIFF.
The republican majority of the ways
and means committee practically settled
on the main items of the new tariff bill on
Saturday, and expect tO report it to their
fellow democratic members of the com-
mittee to.day.\ The wrangle in the com-
mittee will now commence, and it is likely_
to be weeks, if not months, before their
' conflicting ideas and interests can be har-
monized sufficiently to permit its being
reported to the House. ()5 course there
are many conflicting views among the
republican members of the committee,
which will be greatly enlarged when the
bill comes to be considered in the House.
One Of the special difficulties is over the
one item of sugar, and chiefly because it
is one of Louisiana’s chief staples, whrle
California, Kansas and Nebraska have
recently entered largely into the produc-
tion of beet sugar. Speaker Reed has his
party under such excellent discipline that
the final passage through the house of the
best possible bill is not doubted. Then it
goes to the Senate, where the republican
majority ensures its final passage, with
perhaps sundry improving amendments,
which the House may not be able to carry
through. The bill, in any event, has got-
to be one Of concessions and compromises
for to suit all parts of the country is as
impossible to construct as the gun the
Yankee wanted—to killif it was a deer,
and miss if it was a calf.
PENSIONS.
Cozzrrnissioner of Pensions Baum, in
reply to a request from the House corn-
mittee on pensions, has prepared an esti-
mate Of’the’ proban’" cost in case the
ilouse bill pending for a Service pension
becomes a law. General Raum says :
The measure provides for the ultimate
pensioning at $8 per month of every
()illCCl' or soldier who served ninety days
or more in the army, navy or marine
corps of the;United States during the war
of thcr'cbellion and who shall have re-
ceived an honorable discharge there-
from. Your bill also makes provision of
$8 per month for the widows and minor
children thonorably discharged soldiers,
where such widow is without other means
of support than her daily labor. The
first Section of your bill grants a service
pension of $8 per month to the officers
and enlisted men of the army and navy
or the marine corps who served ninety
days or more and were honorably dis-
charged, who are now sixty«tw0 years of
age or over or who shall hereafter reach
that age. Tire estimated cost Of the ser-
vice pension is as follows: 80,493 sur-
vivors, 62 years of age, $96 per arrnum,
$7,727,328; 25,642 pensioners, 62 years Of
age, who would be entitled to an increase
or $3.87 per month, $1,129,273; probable
nunrberof widows who will be entitled
under the law, being 37 per cent. Of the
106,135, or 39,263, $3,769,248, making the
total cost of proposed service pension t‘Or
fiscal year of 1891 $12,625,849.
General liaum also furnishes the follow-
ing estimate of claims Which will probably
be allowed under sections2 and 4 of the
bill: 107,234 pending invalid claims.
38,660 pendingw idows’ claims, 43,937 re-
jected invalid claims, 64,122 probable
number of new applications, making a
total of 253,953 at $96 per annum, $24,—
379,488; 62,579 pensioners under 62 years
at age now on the rolls at less than $8 per
month, who will probably be increased
$3.67 per month, $2,755,779. These
amounts added to the cost of the service
pension will make the total sum Of
$39,761,316. The total number Of survi-
vors up to July 1, 1890, is placed at
1,246,089.
In conclusion General Baum says: “A
very important question to consider in
connection with the cost of your bill is the
fact of the greatly increased death rate of
One—third of the survivors of the army. I
estimate that during the next six years at
least 200,000 of the survivors Of the war
will die; that during the next twelve
years at least 450,000 will have died, and
that during the next eighteen years at
least 720,000 will have died. Evory pro-
vision of your bill commends itself to my
judgment as wise and just,aud it seems to
me that it will not impose a burden upon
the country of which the people wrll com-
plain.
The small amount this service pensron
bill is estimated to cost by the pensron
commissioner, is a surprise to everyone,
as it had been supposed to involve over a
hundred millions a year, additional to
what is now appropriated for pensions.
This bill is undoubtedly the most equita-
‘ ble one to the soldier that has ever been
devised. ‘ '
TEE HARLEM SHIP CANAL.
The house committee on rivers and har-
bors is about to send a sub-committee to
New York to examine the. Harlem ship
canal and make report to the full commit-
tee for its guidance in making a suitable '
provision for the work in the river and
harbor appropriation“ bill. This is the
scheme that the Hon. Wm. D. Bishop has
been so assiduously watching in the intern,
. est of the railroads and the traveling pub-
lic. ‘ It may be depended upbn that when,
this committee goes over “he will be there
to see." 1
FOR An'r.
Miss Kate Field appeared below "the"
. do cure all diseases ,of the liver, kidneys
and made. an able and ‘earnest argument i
in behalf Of the free entry of all works of
art. It is reported that she converted the
committee to her views. Miss Dare in her
fashion article in the Star, thus gives this
brilliant and talented lady away :
Kate Field tells a witty and wicked
story about an Old woman up in Vermont
whose only amusement was the village
lecture course every season, which led 0115
with C01. Ingcrsoll one week and Mrs.
Jenness Miller the next, when the Old
came home thunderslruck. “NO hell and
no chemise! What was the world coming
to! For her part if both were done away
with she didn’t want to live in it any long-
er.” And that’s the way most nice wo-
men feel about their inner draperies.
REV. DR. CHILDS.
Tire change made in Norwalk’s former
distinguished pastor’s ecclesiastical rela-
tions, still continues a subject of discus~
sion. The Baltimore American publishes
the following “interview” With the Rev.
Dr. Child’s which will be of special inter-
est to our home readers. The Doctor said:
‘In transferring myrelatiou to the Epis-
copal church—save in the matter Of
church order—I have changed far less
than many of my Presbyterian brethren.
On the great fundamental truths of Chris-
The Great. Storm of 1890.
The storm which raged over the country
last week, as an appendix of the vernal
equinox, is one of the most severe in the:
annals of the republic. It seems to have
spread itself in different storm shapes from
the Great Lakes to the Gulf and from the
Atlantic to the summits Of the lioeky'
mountains.
sumed the appearance of a bitter blizzard,
nearer to us it precipitated itself as fierce
hail stones of large size, and in Illinois
and Kentucky it came in cyclone and
great torrents of rain. Tire destruction
of human life and property in these
states is unprecedented. he city Of
Louisville is a heavy loser, the wind
cutting a great swath through a portion Of
it, leveling 2,500 houses and desrroying a
hundred human lives: Thousands of
persons were injured. In Illinois the vil-
lage of Metropolis was torn completely
down, with the destruction, apparently,
of most of the population. These are
simply specimens of the ruin wrought by
this eccentric, swift falling “horror of
great darkness,” which, not before in our
generation and our country, has made
tianity, I stand where I have always
stood. 5
“As to the revision mOvement in thcf
Presbyterian Church, [have been opposed ;
to it from the first. Not that there are not
expressions which I would be willing to
see changed or omitted, if we .Werc now
making the Confession, but in the present
state of thought and feeling in the church,
I believe a revision will produce far more
evil than it will remove. I'would let the
01d iristorrc standards, like the Confession
OfFaith and the Thirty-nine articles alone;
and then, if I could find a basis on
which all evangelical Christians could
stand, and holding together the faith dc-
livered to the saints, could remove the re-
proach of Christendom arising from its
present divisions, I would accept it.
“No basis has yet been offered that
seems to me to meet the required condi—
tions so well as that proposed by the
House of Bishops of the Episcopal
church.”
Tire New York Independent, with its
usual arrogance, criticised the good doc-
tor’s action quite feelingly at the first, but
now speaks Of it as the only sensible rea-
son forgoing againsta change in the Pres- a
byterian Confession Of Faith. ,
The Doctor expects to be in Norwalk
this evening, and may possibly pass the
night there with old friends and parish-
ioners.
GONE noun.
Tire Tallapoosa excursionists, composed
of New England capitalists, that passed
through Washington on the 19th inst.,
reached this city on their return trip
Thursday morning. They said they had
hadarnost delightful time. Among the
places visited were Atlanta, Tallapoosa,
Birmingham and other industrial towns Of
the south. They left for home the same
evening. Among the “money bags” were
our Norwalk capitalists, who, whatever
their views about securing fortunes at the
south, were glad enougir to rctrrru to
Norwalk to live. The Atlanta papers
sized up the “pile” of our Norwalk dole--
gation and put it at twenty-five millions.
This was probably not greatly exaggerated
as one Georgia widow, who wants some
good widower to help her run her half
orphan asylum, would give all Of that, if
she had it, could she capture our friend
William R. Lockwood.
EQUINE ACCIDENT.
An engine horse running to a fire here,
Friday night, had its lnnd foot crrt Off by
the wheel of the steamer running over it.
It was as smoothly and squarely cut as if
done by a cleaver, and yet the poor brute
ran with its mate at the top of its speed,
without limp or halt, to the fire, for a half
mile, so thorough was its tram—
ing, and its driver did not know it was
hurt till the team came to a stop. The
poor animal had to be killed. To a re-
porter the chief said :
“Never since I have been in the fire
department, and 1 have twenty—five years’
service; were my sympathies so appealed
to as when 1 ordered that horse killed.
Truly he had more grit and sagacity than
any horse I ever saw. The accident was
a most peculiar one.”
PERSONALS.
Fred Hoyt was here last week.
John Kimmy Hyatt and Hubert E.
Bishop, of Norwalk, are at the Ebbitt and

such a record of terror and devastation.
Heretofore cyclones have rarely inflicted
injury upon large cities. ‘
Thenews from the storm-centre shows
a wide-spread desolation. A large num-
ber Of persons altogether must have been
killed, as the cyclone struck and over‘-‘
turned the whole or parts Of many vil'.
lages in theinterior. As the wires have
been down it will take a day or two longer-
to hear from some of the points on the
railroads and even a week to learn the
extent of the disaster in the back country
Off from the lines of communication. A
calamity like this, following so closely
upon the flood at Johnstown, as that did
upon the earthquake at Charleston,'1m—
presses one painfully with the uncertain-
ties of “this, our mortal life.” Then the
greatest flood ever known in the Mississ-
ippi Valley is added to the terrific storms
of wind and rain and snow which have
been distributed throughout the entire
section from the Rockies tO the Alleghe!
It is calculated that it will take at,
least three weeks for the full tide to
sweep in upon the lands in the region Of'
the sugar belt and above, and it will take
longer for it to move off and leave the
lands clear for cultivation again. This
will place it far along in the spring, almost
summer in that latitude, and the prospect
for crops of any kind, is, to say the least,
not favorable. Add to this the unhealth-
ful conditions arising from water soaked
soil, the warm weather of the past wrnter,
the yellow fever premonitions already
showing in South America and West
Indian ports, and the outlook for a cheer-
ful southern summer is not. flattering.

Obituary.
One of the most prominent metropolitan
merchants of the latter half of the present
century, David Dows, Esq, died at his
town residence in New York on Sunday
morning last. Mr. Dows was a man Of
limitless business capacity and great
personalworthfulness. He was born in
Charlton, N. Y., and like his fellow
Saratoga countyman, Edward C. Delavan,
of worldwide fame for philanthropy,
and whose magnificent estate lay in the
vicinity Of the Dows ancestral honrc, be-
gan life in no'rthern New York. Youna‘
Dows and Dclavan started out blest by
good sense, clever parts, industrious
habits and sterling integrity, and have
achieved the most conspicuous subcess.
’Ihe former came in early life to New
Albany, added lot to lot and almost square
to square to his possessions, .and there
died a few years ago. The two have
lived to a good age, have bequeathed
immense wealthand a splendid reputation
to survivors, and left behind them good
examples to the youth of the land. The
sons Of both the. deceased have spent
happy days in Norwalk, and are very
fondly remembered here.
