EDITORIAL LETTER. '

 

\VASIIINGTON, D. 0., May 19th, ’90.

DEAR GAZETTE z—Tlie silver question
has chiefly engrossed the Senate’s atten—
tion, and two remarkably able and exhaus-
tive speeches were made on the subject of
free coinage of that metal by Senators
Jones, of Nevada, and Teller, of Colorado.
By the logic of these statesmen all the
government has to do to raise silver on an
equality with gold as a circulating money
medium is for Congress to make it a legal
tender. Gold now seems the pet metal
of the rich and silver still is and must
continue, they say, to be the favorite
money of the poor. It is a big question
and is now commanding unusually serious

attention.
'l‘llE TARIFF.

The tariff debate still engrosses all
the tin". 2 and attention of the House. The
McKinley bill is certainly crude and im-
perfect in many particulars, and Mr. Mc-
Kinley himself said in the (lebate last
Thursday that there were things in the
bill of which he did not approve. There
were amendments he would like to make
if he alone were to be consulted; but the
committee had to look to every interest in
the United States. No single man could
have in any tariff bill exactly what he
wanted, and so gentlemen might complain
here and there that they wanted a duty
highered or lowered,but they forget that in
the preparation of a bill covering more
than 3,000 articles, the committee had to
gointoa consideration. not of a single
interest, but of all the varied and com-
bined interests of the United States. He
said that the committee had no personal
pride in the bill or any part of it. The
committee had done its best with the in-
formation at its command. Every mem-
ber of the majority of the committee had
agreed that the proposed duty on lamp
chimneys was absolutely necessary to
preserve that industry in this country. A
gentleman from Pittsburg had appeared
before the committee and asked for free
raw material. He was asked whether
free raw material would lessen the price
of the chimneys to the consumer, and he
replied that he did not believe it would.

Mr. Candler, of Massachusetts, said that
he was not only a republican, but a pro-
tectionist, and he looked forward to the
time when the people it: the United States
would once more declare in favor of the
protective principle, and the members on
the other side would free themselves from
the free trade influence. It could not be
expected that any committee could perfect
a bill that would meet the wants of every
part of the United States. When the
principle of protection was firmly estab—
lished then a tariff bill could be taken out
of politics and discussed and amended in
a fair spirit. i

U. s. snxaron CARLISLE.

The expected has happened by the
election by the Kentucky legislature of
ex-Spcaker Carlisle to the vacancy caused
by the death of Senator Beck. Mr. Car-
lisle’s congressional career has been
marked by conspicuous brilliancy, and,
though always eager to serve his party,
he was always fair to his opponents and,
perhaps, the highest compliment paid him
in his party caucus was by his contestants
his withdrawal from the
be an almost irreparable
damage to the party. One of the ludi-
crons incidents of the Kentucky caucus
was the charge made against him by a
rival' that he drank too muchof that state’s
chief staple, which was promptly replied
to that he drank no more than any Ken-
tucky democrat should to maintain a
proper character and standing in the party.
The quiet and dignity of the Senate will
he more agreeable to Mr. Carlisle’s tastes
than the turmoil of the House, and the
minm'ity of the Senate will be greatly
strengthened by his elevation to a seat in
that body. The democracy in the House
had been sorely weakened by the loss of
Cox and Randall, and now Carlisle’s with-
drawal closes out the trio of conspicuous
and potential democratic leaders in that
body, and there are none left there of
equal ability to fill their vacant places. A
story is current that Mr. Carlisle will re-
turn to the House and deliver an elabor-
ate speech he had prepared in opposition
to the McKinley tariff bill. He, may, how-
ever, conclude to reserve his fire for its
final consideration in the Senate. The
following brief yet interesting biography
of Kentucky’s new and brilliant senator is
furnished by his friends:

sir. Carlisle was born in Kenton county,
Kentucky, on September 5th, 1835. He
was one of a large family, and received a
common school education. He became a
school teacher, studying law meanwhile,
and was admitted to the bar in 1858. His
talent as a man and lawyer made him con-
spicuous in politics, and he was sent to
the Kentucky lower house of legislature
for several terms. He opposed secession
when the ar broke out. In 1866 and
1869 he was elected a member of the state
senate, and in 1868 attended the National
Democratic Convention as a. delegate.
From 1871 to 1875 he was lieutenant-
governor of Kentucky, and in 1876 a.
Presidential elector. In that year he was
also electeda member of Congress, and
has held his seat in that body up to the
His force, vigor and talent
made'him conspicuous in Congress and
he soon attained a front rank as a demo-
cratic leader. He devoted much study to
the question of revenue reform, and his
speeches on that subject attracted atten-
tion all over the country. His efforts for
American shipping also were marked. He
was chosen speaker of the House in

December, 1883, and again in 1885. His
standing on the question of free trade is

l

men in his state.
A QUAINT CHARACTER.

Richard Vaux, who has been nominated
by the democrats to succeed Mr. landall,
will be a conspicuous figure on the floor
of the House when elected. He is a man
74 years old, v iry vigorous, possessing a
marked individuality. He has a long
white board and moustache and hair about
six inches long, worn in curls. He wears
an old fashioned white beaver hat with a
broad brim and long fur on it. Many
years ago, when he was secretary of lega-
tion in Great Britain, he danced with
Queen Victoria, and since then he has
worn no shoes, but dancing pumps, win-
ter and summer. He holds to the old
habit of always wearing a swallow~tailed
coat and milled shirt and never puts on
an overcoat or carries an umbrella. The
hobby of his life is prison reform. He is
an advocate of solitary confinement for
prisoners. It is said of him that what-
ever side he takes of a question he always
gees to the extreme.‘ His position on the
tariff question is the reverse of that held
by Mr. Randall, and is expected to divide
the honors of the House and the attention
of the galleries with Martin, of Texas, in
quaint, personal peculiarities.

POLITICAL. ,

Ex-Represcntative George W. Lauders
was in this city last week and gave the
Star reporter the discouraging statement
that “the democrats will surely carry
Connecticut at the next election and that
a democrat will succeed Mr. Plait in the
Senate. Ex-Congressman Carlos French,
he thinks, will be the democratic candi-
date for governor, and that Bob Vance
will be returned to the House,”

“Bob” Vance is also here and fully
approves of the conclusion reached by
our friend Lauders in the last paragraph
above quoted. Vance captured a first
class prize in the last Congress by winning
as a bride one of W'ashington’s fairest
daughters, and ought certainly to take
kindly to the idea of renewing his official
residence here, but we apprehend that
our present Congressman Simonds, of
Hartford, may contest the honorswith
successful vigor.

Your correspondent met General Colt.
on the avenue Saturday, who, with his ac-
customed cordiality and sincerity, reveal-
ed his purposc of making things lively for
Congressman Russell by himself accept-
ing the democratic nomination in the
Third district. He is confident that Judge
Morris will be the democratic nominee for
governor against Lieutenant-Governor
Merwin on our ticket. All of which is
respectfully submitted with the added
suggestion that we shall know with more
certainty about these things later on.

IIYMENEAL.

Miss Margaret Isabella Blaine, second
daughter of the Secretary of State, was
married Saturday at her parents’ residence
here to Mr. Walter Damrosch, of New
York. Miss Blaine, who is tall,.slender
and graceful, was a special favorite in
society as she possessed much of her
great father’s cordiahty and heartiness.
At the close of her school course in Con-
necticut Miss Blaine went abroad with
Mr. and Mrs. Morton. Mr. Morton was
then minister to France. Miss Blaine
entered upon a course of study in the
famous Convent of the Sacred Heart in
Paris, where she remained two years,
devoting herself to the study oflanguages,
in which and in the profound philosophies
she is a most proficient student. It was
while with her father on the coaching ex-
cursion they made through Scotland, two
years ago, with Mr. Carnegie, that she
first met Mr. Damrosch, and it was last
summer, while Secretary Blainc’s father
was at Bar Harbor, that the engagement
of the young pair was first whispered
among the intimates of the family.

Mr. Damrosch is the son of the famous
Dr. Damrosch, who, as director and com-
poser, was the first to make German opera
a success in this country at the Metropoli-
tan Opera House, in New York, and also
in Philadelphia and Cincinnati. Mr.
Damrosch is blonde, tall, slender and
most agreeable in person and manner.

The wedding was as private as the high
official position of Mr. Blaine would ad-
mit, owing to the severe afflictions that
have overtaken the family. The presents
to the bride were unusually rich and
numerous, but were not displayed. Mr.
Carnegie sent a solid silver tea service
lined with gold upon a silver tray. The
diplomatic corps sent a solid silver tea set.
Mr..and Mrs. Stanford gave a case of solid
gold carving knives and forks, soup ladle,
salad knife and fork, coffee and dessert
spoons and oyster forks. The handles are
all. of tinted ivory and bear the bride’s ini-
tials in gold lettering. The President and
Mrs. Harrison gave a solid silver salad
bowl and spoon. Vice-President and Mrs.
Morton’s present is a. large case containing
six articles in repousse silver for toilet
table. Mr. and Mrs. Hitt gave a mahog-
any cliest containing twelve dozen pieces
of silver—dinner, breakfast, tea and as-
paragus sets, knives and forks, Spoons
and bowls of every description. Mr. and
Mr‘s.«Whitelaw Reid sent from Paris five
pieces of table silver, conserve and bonbon
dishes of open w0rk. Minister and Mrs.
W. W. Phelps sent from Berlin a pearl
necklace, with diamond and sapphire pen-
dant. Jewelry of every form, bracelets,
bronzes, bric-a-brac, engravings, pictures
and china are among this vast array of
gifts, but the greater proportion is of solid
silver.

PERSONALS.

Mr. James H. Bailey and bride, of Nor-
walk, are expected here Friday. The
Earle-Woodward and Wilson-Wilson wed-
ding parties did not materialize here as

 

expected.

 

Mrs. and Miss Ferry expect to return
home to Connecticut June 4th.

The most notable Connecticut visitor to
the nation’s capital this winter was Miss
Julia A. Lockwood, of: Norwafk. who, in
her cightyseoond year, “dic” the city of
magnificent distances with the fortitude
and interest of a girl of twenty.

Mrs. Senator Plait was taken very pain-
,fully ill last week, but soon recovered her
wonted health, which has been quite
delicate all the winter. The Senator with
his fishing party is said to have landed
about two hundred trout from a stream
near Meriden during the two days he was
home for a respite.

Miss Bessie Barbour gave one of her
admirable recitations at a Baptist church
festival here Friday evening.

The British minister set out an oak
tree at Mt. Vernon last week to replace
one set by the Prince of Wales, when he
he was a visitor here many years ago, and
which had died.

The Methodist board of bishops have
approved the plan of a great Methodist
University at Washington and suggest
the. an cndowmentot at least two millions
of dollars and suitable buildings in addi-
tion should be provided before the institu-
tion is put into execution. The resolu-
tions also commend the liberality of the
friends of the university in this city in
providing an eligible site. '

The Gettysburg Memorial Association
has arranged for a. special congressional
excursion to the battlefield on Decoration
day, May 30th. A large number of sena-
tors and representatives have accepted
invitations. Colonel Bachelder, the gov-
ernnrcnt historian of the field, will be in
charge of the party.

Senator Stanford’s brother died at Oak-
land, Cal., Thursday. The Senator had
invitations out for a dinner to be given
that night to members of the cabinet and
Senate, and fora dinner to be given next
Thursday night to the President. All of
these were recalled. The dinner of next
week was to have been one of the most
magnificent features of the Washing-
ton social season, The Senator’s agents
had been telegrapliing to all, parts of the
United States for more than a week
ordering dainties for the feast.

icled this obituary : SCOTT—On Thursday
morning, May 15, 1890, at 10061 street,

Remains will be taken to \Vatcrbury, Ct.,
for interment.

A meeting was held last week at Lincoln
Memorial church to organize a North
Carolina Educational Society in the inter-
est of the Rankin-Richards Institute. This
school is located in the northeast section
of North Carolina, where the colored
people of that state are numerically the
greatest. Its representative in Washington
is Mr. Rhodeu Mitchell, who comes highly
indorsed, and who was for several years a
trusted employe of the U. S. Senate. Mr.
Mitchell expects to visit Connecticut, and
probably Norwalk, in furtherance of his.
worthy charity, and we bespeak for him a
cordial reception and generous aid.

Dr. Galingcr, New Hampshire’s ex—
congressman, and member of the national
republican committee for that state, is
here for the purpose of withdrawing from
his remaining political position, as he is
president ofa big eastern syndicate that
is at work building and booming a new
city in Tennessee. He leaves New
Hampshire for his novel field of labor
early in June, and we hope for him uu.
bounded success as he is one of New
England’s ablcst and best men.
Washington has just contracted for
7,500 German silver dog tags, which every
licensed (log must wear as evidence of his
right to live and its owner’s right to ex-
emption froma fine for keeping an un-
licensed dog.

As we predicted, the first day Baruum’s
show exhibited here both the Senate and
House were left without a quorum.
“Baby McKee” rode the baby elephant
and smallest pony, and the English minis-
ter gave a swell “circus party” to his
notable friends, and the great and small
of the capital deemed a visit to the men.
stcr show an epoch in their lives.

The Bayne-Wilson-Bynum squall Satur-
day in the House was all amicably adjust-
ed to-day.

The Senate has passed a bill appropri-
ating $300,000 for the erection of a monu-
ment to General Grant in this city.

Senators Frye and Chandler are thrash-
ing the waters of Maine for trout.

the Protestant Episcopal church of Vir-
ginia will take place at Fredericksburg on

Wednesday. There are over 200 churches
and between 17,000 and 18,000 communi;
cants in this diocese, which is an extra
ordinary increase since the war. “ ‘

Wm. F. Rockwell, of Meriden; Thomas
Milliken, of Stamford, and P. Bryant, of
Hartford, are here.

NOR'WALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY- MAY' 21. 1890.".-

The Borough Made a Mistake.

ED. GAZETTE :——Muclr as this town needs
better roads, and anxious as I am to
hasten the time when we shall have them,
still, nothing can be more unwise than
to begin the great improvement on River-
side avenue. Since the work of making
all our principal roads what they ought to
he, would. probably require a period of
from five to ten years for its completion,
and since the first section to be built will
attract travel over it, to the neglect of the
roads not yet paved, it scrms clear that a
great deal can be done to draw trade into
the borough by beginning this work at the
right place. The borough meeting voted
to begin at the worst possible place.

Look at the lay of the country around
here; the back country trade comes to us
over three main routes z—tlic New Can-
aan road, the Wilton road, and Newtown

avenue. The most important of these is
the New Canaan road. \Vest avenue

from South Norwalk to the Armory has
already been improved. Franklin avenue
from the Armory to Belden avenue is a
pretty good road. Vhen Ilivcrsrdc ave-
nue, which is practically an extension of
Franklin avenue, is once turned into a
fine boulevard, you have a complete
thoroughfare tapping the main inlet into
the borough at the New Canaan bridge,
and diverting traffic around the borough
to South Norwalk, as effectually and as
certainly as the thing could be done. It
is already the shortest route, and it is now
foolishly proposed to make it the best
route from the country north and west of
us to our breezy neighbor on the south.
To build this thoroughfare, as the first
step in a general improvement of the roadS
is against the interest of every merchant
and business man in the borough. If: a
teamster over this route has an errand for
a neighbor he will not turn out of his 'ay
to do it. here; if he takes home a cod fish,
itl'will not be of the borough stripe. We
side-track our own stores and docks, pur-
posely, and as it were, madly. for the sake
of the cemetery. True, “the paths of
glory lead but to the grave,” but let what
traffic would naturally come into the
borough, take the Main and Wall street
route as long as it will.

Would it not be better to. boulevard the
streets leading into the borough first, and
thus invite business to our counters, and
to put off building this magnificent
through route from New Canaan to South
Norwalk, passing by the borough on the
off-side, until all other parts of our system
of roads and drives are perfected? For it
must not be forgotten that this daily temp_
tation to go around the borough rather
than through it will last until the people
are disposed to spend a very large sum on

end of West avenue; that is, until trade
has been accustomed to take a shorter
route from five to ten years; then it may
be too late to divert much of it back again
OVcr the longer route through the bor_
ough. It is almost worth while to call
another borough meeting to correct the
hasty action of the last.
Yours, in tears,

A Snobblsh Custom.

Says the Boston Transcript:—Another
English fashion, and this a thoroughly
ugly, snobbish, detestable . and ridiculous
one, which is unfortunately much followed
by our owners of carriage and riding
horses, is the practice of docking and
“banging” the tails. It seems to be, as a
rule, only the unfortunate animals who
are made so English in appearance that
one would expect them to whinny with an
English accent, and to look at the world
from behind a single blinker, that wear
the abbreviated tails. No doubt there are
many English ways that are well worth
following—good ways in which the peo-
ple of the old country have surpassed us.
But since the best horses in the world
have been raiSed in America, and the best
horsemen born here, and since we have
more horses in this country to-day than
England is likely to have in half a century,
there really seems to be no good reason
why we should borrow English horse
customs.

New Chapel and Hospital.

A new chapel and hospital were dedi-
cated at the Soldiers’ Home, Noroton Fri-
day. The exercises were in charge of the
executive committee of the soldiers’ board,
consrsting of Judge A. B. Beers, Gen. L.
A. Dickinson and Col. George M. White.
After prayer by the Rev. Mr. Requa, Gov-
ernor Bulkoley, who presided, made the
opening speech. He referred to the fact
that the State of Connecticut had resolved
in its Legislature to stand by the old flag
and provide for its soldiers. The work of
of the G. A. R. and the Relief Corps were
also complimented.

Department Commander J. E. Broatch
spoke of the benefits of the Home and of
its present work and future possibilities.
Mrs. Jennie E. C. Smith of Winsted, presi-
dent of the Ladies’ Belief Corps, spoke
energetically of the noble work done by
the soldiers and promised in the name of
her organization that as long as one soldier
lives they will do all in their power to
make that life comfortable.

Col. W. 11. Wessells, commander of the
Sons of Veterans, spoke of the prepetuat-
ing of the order of the G. A. B. through
the S. of V.

Gen. W. B. Franklin, president of the
National Home for Soldiers, spoke of the
1,000,000 old soldiers who must be cared
for.

Lieutenant-Governor Mcrwin, State
Treasury Henry and Chaplain E. Henry
Miller also made brief remarks.

The chapel and hospital are given by the
State of Connecticut. The buildings are
very ample and complete and the grounds
are among the most judiciously arranged
of any of the kind in New England. The
home and all its appurtenances are in
charge of Dr. B. W. Munson, Superinten-
dent. There was placed in view Friday
for the first time a group in marble, cut in
Florence, Italy, to the order of the late
Benjamin Fitch, founderof the home, and
executed by Sculptor Meade of Vermont,
representing a soldier’s return.
