EDITORIAL LETTER.
Wasirixorox, D. 0., May 12th, ’00.
DEAR GAZETTE :——The tariff debate raged
all through last week in the House, both
the day and a night session being held to
accommodate the flow of talk made mainly
for its effect on the home congressional
district. With the exception ochKinley’s
opening argument and Mills’ reply,no very
marked or remarkable speeches have
been delivered, and so it is not remark-
able that both the floor of the House and
its galleries were largely deserted through-
out tlre week. There are many crudities
and many palpable errors in the bill as
reported, which the Senate must be trust-
ed to correct. It is feared that, if the
work of amendment be commenced in the
llouse. the bill will be in peril of going to
pieces. so conflicting are the interests iii-
volvcd. ~
During the course of his talk on the
imil‘l'Congressman Burrows exhibited a
tin dinner pail and explained that the in.
creased duty on tin plate would cause but
a slight increase in the cost of the pail and
mature workman is not so much con-
cerned over the cost of the pail at the
presenttime, as lreisas to what he is going
to put 81 it.
LEGAL monrs FOR VOMEN.
In the Senate Saturday Mr. Ingalls in-
troduced a bill to amend sections 727 and
720 of the Revised Statutes, giving to each
married woman of the District control of
property she possesses when she marries ;
also to sue and be sued, contract, make
notes, and carry on business as she may
see proper.
sap ron THE Tiiiizs'rr.
The House Committee on the Alcoholic
Liquor Traflic has authorized one of its
members to call up for'consideration in
the House at the first opportunity, the
bill to prohibit the transportation of in-
toxicating liquors from any State or Ter-
ritory of the United States into States
where prohibitory laws are in force. This
bill is designed to cover the weakness of
our present laws as leecntly dccidcdin
the U. S. supreme court.
FINE ARTS.
Connecticut’s famous sculptor, Ives,
has had an exhibition here for some
weeks, of several of his gems of art,
wrought out by him at Florence. One, a
statue 0r Undine, Wan .., marvel of beauty
and artistic finish. The veil and draperies
were not only‘ made to cover and yet
clearly reveal the featurers of the face,
but the slightest curves of the form and
Were also as transparent as the most deli-
cate illusion.
At the Corcoran art gallery is a picture
attracting much admiration which is
owned by our rural friend Hon. Robbins
Battell of Norfolk, up in cool and salu-
brious Litchfield county. 'lhe title is
"in the Hands of the Enemy,” and it is
by an artist who was born in the north of
Ireland and whose name is Thomas Ho-
hehen. An art correspondent of one of
the city papers says of it, that “it is one of
the most attractive works of art in the
gallery. The theme or the picture 'is
unique, the style realistic, the execution
well nigh perfection, and the coloring su-
perb. If one rnayjudge of a picture by
the attention it attracts, one would be
warranted in saying that there is no pict-
ure in the Corcoran gallery to-day which
is the superior in the realistic school of
this particular canvas. Every one corn-
mends it, and the unconventionality of
the subject adds to its attractions.”
EXECUTION or MRS. SURRA’I‘.
There has been a recent and spirited
revival in magazine and newspaper articles
of the questions as to who was responsible
for the execution of Mrs. Surratt. One
writer, with much vigorous denunciation,
accuses the patriotic and now venerable
Judge Holt of being mainly responsible
for the hanging of this woman conspirator
by reason of the influence he exerted on
President Johnson to that end. The wis-
dour cf reviving this bitter issue at this
late day may be well doubted, biit it hav-
ing been again forced on the public atten-
tion it is of consequence that the truths
of history he maintained. Your corres-
pondent reported the trial of the conspira-
tors convicted of the murder of President
Lincoln for the New York Tribune as well
as for the GAZETTE, and was in daily
attendance at that trial and heard all the
evidence. From that evidence if any one
was guilty of organizing and promoting
the scheme for the enactment of that
terrible’ crime this woman clearly and
unmistakably was the chief actor among
them all. At the time her friends here
claimed that her zeal and activity Only
contemplated a capture and kidnapping of
the President, and not his assassination.
If that were true the evidence failed to
show it most lamentably. Be this as it
may, there can be no question as to Presi-
dent Johnson’s own avowal of his entire
responsibility for her execution. 0n as
many as three different occasions, now
distinctly remembered, when your “corres-
pendent was at the executive" office,
President Johnson vigorously defended
his own individual action in not heeding
the court’s recommendation of that un-
happy woman to executive clemency. On
one of these occasions he waxed exceed-
ingly wroth over some newspaper criti-
cism of his failure to reprieve her, and,
with his vigorous well known indignation,
he in substance, if not in exact phrase,
uttered these words: “The court recom-
mended Mrs. Surratt to mercy because
NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY MAY 14-1890.
she was a woman and for no other reason.
If any one was guilty of that horrible
crime she was. Her treason and conspir—
acy to destroy the government were irri—
mistakable. Treason is the worst of
crimes, for it embraces all crimes, and
should receive the severest punishment
enacted for the suppression of crime. I
permitted this woman to be hung from a
sense of public duty. I alone am respon-
sible for it. There have not been women
enouyhhuny. In my judgmriit it would
have been better for the nation and hun-
dreds of loyal lives saved had there been
more rebel women hung.” The above
was uttered with terrible velieinencc and
in the presence of, among others, his then
military secretary, General R. 1). Massey,
who is now a practicing lawyer in this
city, and who undoubtedly must remem-
ber his chief’s fiery invective on that
occasion. Judge Holt, ever loyal and
now one of the grandest figures left of
that angry period of our country’s history,
does not need the above testimony to
acquit him of ungrounded charges made
agalnst him by his disloyal enemies, but
while there are so many witnesses still
living, who repeatedly beard President
Johnson claim special credit to himself
because he would not allow himself to be
influenced by the rccomincndaiion to
mercy made by he court, which tried and
convicted Mrs. Surratt, these wicked
accusations should forever be put to rest.
SETTLED AT LAST.
The question as to what it is that
“peeps,” which has stirred South Norwalk
from center to circumference and divided
the attention of the outside world with
Judge Knapp’s legal decisions, is settled.
We referred a copy of the Sentinel, with
one of Judge Bouton’s dogmatic state-
ments as to the nature of our swamp
“pcepers,” to the naturalist and ornitholo-
gist 'of the agricultural department for
his opinion as to what sort of a “bug” it
was and his reply is thus tersely stated:
“The papers are tree toads without any
doubt.”
A GROWING CHURCH.
This morning’s Post gives the following
encouraging notice of the wide—awake and
rapidly growing little church here, of
which your Rev. Dr. Noble was, until his
departure for Norwalk, the pastor:
“The effects of the ministrations of the
iev. Dr. Cornelius, who was recently cal-
lcd‘,to the pastorate of the Eastern Presby-
terian Church, is evidently beginning to
be felt, for at yesterday morning’s services
five members were admitted to the church.
Among the congregation which filled the
church were many strangers. Owing to
the celebration of the “Lord’s Supper” the
sermon was omitted. Doctor Cornelius
with a few preparatory remarks read the
forty-fifth chapter of Isaiah, which he
styled the strangest, saddest, and gladdest
story ever heard by mortal ears.”
PERSONALS. .

it will break a quorum in both Houses of
Congress as well.
Colonel F. St. John Lockwood and Miss
Julia Lockwood, his sister, have, the past.
week, been enjoying the beautiful sights

scramble for the vacant place. Private
advices which reach here state that ex-
Speakcr Carlisle, although on one of his
periodical “jamborccs,” is ahead in the
race, with Proctor Knott a good second.
As ever, B.
Better Roads.
A special borough meeting will be held
at the Town House, on Friday, May 16th,
atSO’clock, for the purpose of hearing
the report of the committee appointed last
year to investigate and report on the
macadamized road laid down by the city
of South Norwalk, and upon other macad-
amized roads examined by said corn-
mittee. Also to authorize the purchase,
if deemed expedient, of a steam roller, to
be used on the roads of the borough.
Also to direct the court of burgcsses, if
thought best, to grade Riverside avenue,
and to make the necessary appropriations
for any of the above objects.
It is fully time that our borough tax-
payers waked up to the importance of
adopting some less wasteful and ruinous
mode of making and mending our high-
ways. South Norwalk has already pur-
chasedastone crusher and steam roller
and put her end of West avenue in better
condition than ever known before. Our
borough should follow suit on every
principle of economy and merit of the
McAdam system. City Engineer Shauley,
of Toronto, writes :—
“My plan for building new roads is to
lay a depth of nine inches of large stones
of any description, but of nearly as equal
dimensions on all sections as possible;
on this foundation six inches of granite—
two—inch cubes—~blendcd with sand or
fine gravel, and rolled and watered until a
smooth hard surface is obtained. Ibe-
h‘eoe this to be the cheapest and best roadway
for ordinary traflio.”
He might have added that reads thus
built are well nigh imperishable. Let the
apparatus be voted at next Friday’s meet-
ing, and we start off on a new era Of
cheap, sensible and durable road making.

The Methodist Church South.
The general conference of the Methodist
Church South, which represents about 1.-
800,000 of the 5,000,000 or more Methodist
communicauts in this country, will hold
its next quadrennial meeting in St. Louis,
beginning on the 10th of the present
month.
The conference will be called to order
by Bishop J. C. Keener, as the senior of
its eight bishops, and Rev. John 0. Martin,
of Baltimore, is mentioned as the probable
secretary. .
It is now forty-five years since the
Methodist Church diVided on sectional
lines as the result of an embittered agita-
tion of the slavery question,'and the first
seceding conference was held at Louis-
ville in 1845. Since that time a great war
has been fought. between the States, the
outgrowth of the same agitation that
caused the separation of our religious
brethren, but the States have long since
come together, and the bonds of political
union were never more firmly cemented.
Two great churches still stand apart,
not upon any material difference in doc-
trine or forms and ceremonies, but by
mere force of geographical divisions, from
which the old-time element of mutual
, aversion or prejudice has been well nigh
eliminated, and for which none of the
reasons that once justified the distinction
now exist. To the secular world it would
seem that, as in union there is strength,
and as in greater strength there is greater
safety, the religious bodies of the country:
of all others, having a common creed,
should have a common jurisdiction.

The death of Senator Beck removes from
public life one of the most interesting fig
urcs ever on the arena of American poli-
tics. Among all the manly sons Scotland
has furnished to the United States none
has been truer to the land of his adoption
or reflected more lustre upon it. At the
time of his decease he was a longq‘ecog-
nized leader of his party in the Senate and
one of the very foremost leaders of thought
in the republic. Such was his candor,
integrity, force of will and power of intel-
lect that he had the profound respect of
his countrymen of both the great parties
in and out of public life. .

rheumatism of ten years’ standing.” Abra-
ham Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio, at-
firms :—“The.best selling medicine I have
ever handled in my 20 years’ experience.

have added their testimony, so that the
verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters

Editor Gazette:
In 1888 the Democratic party polled 75,-
74 votes for Luzon B. Morris for governor,
giving him the largest vote ever cast for any
candidate upon its ticket, nearly 500 in ex-
cess of the average Democratic vote, and 150
more than were given for Grover Cleveland
for president. His nomination was an honor
to the Democratic party and his phenome-
nal vote was due, not to money, for it is well
known that the party expenditures were all
in behalf of their candidate for president
and the minor state officers, but to a sincere
belief in the honor and integrity of Judge
Morris which in this case led the voters of
this State to upset the plans of the politi-
cians and give to the candidate who was not
nominated to be elected, the highest vote up-
on his ticket. In view of these facts, is it
not fair to assume that in the approaching
elections, Judge Morris will be again found
heading the Democratic party with all the
added prestige of the canvass of ’88 and
without the complications of a presidential
election which have always operated in
Connecticut in favor of the Republican
ticket.
\Vho will the Republican party place in
the field against him? Applying to the
Republican candidate for governor in 1888
the same test which would indicate Judge
Morris as the next Democratic noruinee,
and Morgan G. Bulkeley ceases to be avail-
able for a renomination, for in every partic-
ular in which the one shows superiority, the
other shows a much greater deficiency. Not
only did he fall behind the average Repub-
lican vote by 891, but the official returns
actually present the spectacle of the nomi-
nee for the highest office in the State, re-
ceiving the lowest vote cast for any office,
running 925 behind Harrison for president,
and 1,506 behind Gen. S. E. Merwin for lieu-
tenant governor. Is there not in the elec-
tion returns of 1888 just as plain and ex-
plicit a warning to the Republican as there ,
is hope and encouragement to the Demo-
cratic party? .
Already it is whispered among the poli-
ticians that Morgan G. Bulkeley desires a
renomination as a “vindication of his ad-
ministration” for the past two years. In
the whole history of the Republican party
no such excuse has ever before been given
in Connecticut for the renornination of a
Republican governor, and the fact of its now
being advanced makes it a good reasou why
such a course should not be taken.
Whensuch a man as Gen. Merwin who,
in 1888, in the hottest political fight ever
fought in Connecticut, led every candidate
on both tickets, actually defeating Judge
Morris on the popular vote, or such a man
as John H. Perry who, though speaker of a.
House of Representative that at least gave
no added honor to the State, yet as Speaker
passed through the corruption and de-
bauchery of the session of ’89, and returned
to his home honored and respected by the
whole State, as he was and is by Fairfield
County, for his honesty and ability, or such
a man as E. Stevens Henry, who as Senator
in ’87 took rank second to none of his col —
leagues, and as State treasurer has made a
record which every one of his predecessors
envies and every successor will accept as a
standard, when such men as these can be
found to lead the Republican party to cer—
tain victory in the next election, is it not
the very essence of political folly to even
talk of “vindication.” With a United
States Senator to be elected next winter,
with an honest secret ballot law, such as
Morgan Bulkeley vetoed, to be enacted by
the next General Assembly, with a militia
force demoralized by official folly worse
tnan crime, is it not time to consider what
is best for the State, rather than to take up ’
the grievances of any individual however
high in politics. Let the Republicans of
Connecticut see to it that their little town
caucuses speak with no uncertain voice for
an old time Republican administration
in ’91, such as the party gave to the State
it the days of Buckingham.
REPUBLICAN.
The Pallisers and. the Postmasters.
Says the Hartford Times :——Last fall a
large number of Connecticut postmasters,
chiefly in the small country offices, were
fined in the United States court for selling
stamps on credit to Palliser, Palliser 6.7 03.,
a firm of: New York architects.
The government also prosecuted the
firm, and Charles Palliser was arrested,
and released on a writ habeas corpus. An
order of Judge Lacombe dismissed the
writ and an appeal was taken from Judge
Lacomhe’s order to the United States Su—
preme court. The matter was argued be—
fore the court at Washington, Thursday
of last week.
Solicrtor-General Taft claimed that it
was unlawful for the postmasters to sell
stamps on credit, that the circular sent by
the firm to the postmaster-s was equivalent
to’a request to them to sellPalliser stamps
on credit and that as the postmastcrs’ com-
pensation depended upon the amout of
stamps sold by them, Mr. Palliser-’5 letter
was an attempt to bribe them to commit a
breach of their office duty, and conse-
quently a criminal offence. '
Counsel for Mr. Palliser contended that
the postmaster-s had the right to sell stamps
on credit, provided they held themselves
responsible to the government for their
value; and, as all of them had done that,
in no event could Mr. Palliser’s letter,
which only romises payment of the official
price for £ stamps, be construed as the
offer of a bribe, and that Mr. Palliser has
the constitutional right to a trial in New
York, where the circulars were written
and mailed, instead of in Connecticut,
Where they were received.

Even shopping for boy’s
clothes may be made a pleas-
ant occupation, if you go the
right way about it.
You know, we keep every-
thing aboy wears, from the hat
on his head to the shoes on his
feet, and we encourage custo-
mers to bring us their trifling
wants; to let us help them to
obtain the things that are dif-
ficult to find.
There’s more satisfaction in
fitting out a boy of unusual
proportions, or in supplying an
unusual demand, than in mak-
ing a regular sale.
Because we cut extra sizes,
to fit stout or slim boys, most
of this work is easy enough.
But don’t imagine you’ll be
considered troublesome, what-
ever your needs may be.
We’ve made some of our best
friends by serving “trouble-
some” customers. We enjoy
being “troubled” especially by
mothers of boys.
