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 charging that House would i 1 ,well known: Personally and politically iMr. Carlisle is one of the most popular 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. Saturday’s \Vashington paper's chron- icled this obituary : SCOTT—On Thursday morning, May 15, 1890, at 10061 street, Washington, D. 0., Miss Esther Scott. 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. As ever, B, —————<+ No organization in the United States have multiplied more rapidly in the past ten years than the sick-benefit, funeral- aid, death-benefit, and other kindred soci~ eties. As they are generally confined to those who are in the humbler walks of life, the good they have done is in'calcul- able, carrying substantial aid to thousands of stricken families and inspiring those who are fortunate enough in being mem. bers with a courage which might not exist in their hearts without them. The mem- bers of these organizations will be glad to learn that Hon. Robert P. Porter, superin- tendent of the eleventh census, will en- deavor to secure the statistics of the noble work these associatioas are doing, and it is safe to say that no other branch of the census will be more interesting. The business of gathering the data has been placed in charge of Mr. Charles A. J enney, special agent of the insurance division, 58 William street, New York city, and all associations throughout the United States, whether incorporated 91' private, should assist by sending to him the address of of their principal ofllcers. l l I I u The meeting of the diocesan council of -‘ \ 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, AA: Special Census Takers.

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. ____...______ There are no less than thirteen Demo- cratic candidates for the gubernatorial nomination in Wisconsin. and the returns are still coming in.
