EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. 0., July '7, ’90.
DEA]: GAZETTE :—The victory scored by
Speaker Reed in the passage of the Lodge
federal elections bill through the {House,
last Wednesday, has since been the chief
theme of excitement here as well as
throughout the entire country. It was
manii'est that a majority'were opposed to
the bill, yet so masterful was Reed’s
generalship that he held his party up to
the line and led them triumphantly through
the fiercest conflict of the session with a
loss of only two votes. The democrats
made the most desperate fight at all points,
but were utterly routed and put to flight.
After eight hours of the intensest excite-
ment. and the most resolute and subtle
efl'or:s of Springer, Hemphill, Brcckin-
ridge, Crisp, Bynum and others to defeat
the 2‘ till question by filibustcring tactics,
. the stubborn man from Maine railroaded
his iiiil :hrough the house by a vote of 155
to 11.0. It was the most memorable day
of the session in Congress. The question
of intense-st. interest now is as to the fate
of the bill in the Senate. By many sena-
tors it is deemed quite probable that it
may pass possrbly in a somewhat modi-
lied form. By others it is looked upon
with disfavor as being just in principle,
but inexpedient as a partisan measure,
and more likely to turn and torment its
inventors than its opponents. By most it
felt as being a mistaken piece of legisla-
tion, inasmuch as at the south various
and effectual means will be readily found
for nullifying the provisions of the act.
Southern members say that the negro
vote is just as merchantable as the vicious
and criminal vote of northern cities and
will not cost a tenth part as much, so that
if‘tiic- .1ecessity arises it can be purchased
whet:- 2: cannot be coaxed or intimidated.
They '- the southern whites 02m and zcz'Zi
rule 9..de country where they live, despite
federal laws and bayonets, and to a con-
trolling degree this is true and will, in
the o;*‘-"-on of conservative republicans,
be the result should the Lodge bill become
alaw. Others think that while it was a
mistake is have introduced the issue, now
than .:_-' has been forced on the l't‘pllIJIlCtllJS
of the House the Senate should stand by
their. and pass it also. There is a much
better chance to kill :1.e bill in the Senate
by dilatory motions and prolonged debate
than there was in the House under the
rigid “ Rings of Reed. The usages and
. iradit s of the Senate are for the fullest
freer; i ofdebatc and the widest scope
for 21‘. ring amendments. Major Carson,
the well informed Washington correspond-
ent of the Philadelphia Ledger, writes his
paper ihat, (respite the widest and wildest
speculations, the reports, which have de-
clare-.3 that there is a disrnclination on the
part ei many senators to take up and con-
sider any federal election bill at the pres—
ent Session, are correct, but there is no
truth In the statement that there is a
probability that the Senate will amend its
rules in order to curtail filibustering
against :‘ne federal election bill. If the
democratic senators agree to prolong,
indefinitely, the debate on the tariff bill
in order to prevent the consideration of
of the Indian hill until the fall elections
are over, as they now threaten to do,
here will be no effort made by the repub—
lican majority to prevent them. The
traditiitins of the Senate are opposed
to any ordering of the previous question,
and tradition rules in the Senate over
prises; convenience. 1t has always been
a martyr of pride in the upper House that
it has never been forced to adept stringent
rules 5 \ :eslrict debate and force a vote,
”tg' attempt in this direction has in-
been met with such general
2: oval that it has failed.
..: sExATons AND run TARIFF.
The promised meeting of the republican
niembtrs of the Senate finance committee
to dise'ss preposed amendments to the
tariff bill has been postnoned indefinitely.
Mi. Moi-rill and Mr. Aldrich have gone
over the bilf‘, and they will suggest some
unimportant changes in phraseology, but
the moreimportant matters, such as the
reciprocity amendment of Mr. Hale, will
not be taken up until the bill is up for
discussion in the Senate.
Unless there is an understanding that
the federal election bill is not to be passed
the democrats will probably begin as
soon as the tariff comes up to talk upon
every paragraph, and without saying any
more than they feel like saying about that
measure they can keep up the debate until
the year grows old. They may talk the
tariff: bill itself to death, as well as the
federal election bill.

The House committee on the library has
authorized a favorable report on the bill
introduced in the House by Mr. Atkinson,
of Pennsylvania, appropriating $50,000 to I
enable the secretary of the interior to pur.
chase 5,000 copies of the historical book
of reference known as the National Roster
of the Grand Army of the Republic.
The cezninittecfln their report on the
bill, say that they found by papers filed
with the bill that the book was the author-
lied official directory of the G. A. R., and
it contained more than 400,000 names,
records an fl addresses of Union ex-soldicrs,
sailors and marines, the largest text book
or records of its kind in the world, and
will save the government the amount of
the appropriation asked annually.
The book is to be distributed by sena-

NEW STARS FOR THE FLAG.
Five new stars were legally added to
the flag of the United States on Friday
under the law which names the 4th of
July as the day on which this addition
shall be made. Four of the stars repre-
sent the states of North and South Dakota,
Montana and Washington, which were
admitted some time ago, and the fifth is
for Idaho, the President having signed the
bill admitting the territory as a state béfore
leaving for Cape May. _
It had been hoped that the admission of
Wyoming would also have been accom-
plished, but owing to an amendment to
the bill requiring its return to the House,
and that body’s adjournment, Thursday,
without a quorum, Wyoming’s star will
not be added to the flag until the 4th of
July, 1891.
r1 ass ox ’I'llE CAPITOL.
For the first time since the capitol was
re-built flags flew from the dome of the
capitol in honor of Independence day,
There were four large flags flying from
staff's that had been placed on the colon-
nade of the tholus. They presented a
handsome appearance, and the unusual
spectacle attracted much attention. Un-
der the rules the flag is only unfurled
over House or Senate when either or both
bodies are in session. The “old glory"
should float every clay in the year above
the topmost turkeyfeather adorning the
head of the old bronze squaw surmount-
ing the capitol’s dome.
coxx'Ecrrcr'r APPOINTMENTS.
As stated would be the case in the last
GAZETTE, President Harrison sent in, on
Wednesday, the name of Carmi G. Hub-
bell, to be postmaster at Norwalk, in
place of Augustus C. Golding, whose com-
mission expires August 2d. Also George
W. Randall to be postmaster at Rockville,
in place of Wilbur B. Foster, whose corn-
mission expires July 26.
If our friend “Carmi” shall prove half
as successful and thoroughly efficient a
postmaster as was his old chief, General
Olmstead, who first taught him to correctly
hustle the letters into their proper recep-
tacles, and then as rapidly and accurately
pass them cut on call, he may well deem
his highest ofi‘lcial ambition requited, for
the Norwalk and New Haven post offices,
under Olmstead and Sperry, Were for a
quarter of a century deemed at the dc-
partmenthere the model offices of New
England in all that pertained to accuracy
and good management.
The Senate to—(iay on a test vote rc—
fused to take up and consider the tariff
bill by 20 to 23: the silver republicans
voting with the democrats.
Considerable excitement was created
to-—day on the spreading of a rumor that
negotiations between the state department
and the British minister concerning the
Behring sea trouble are off for the present.
The negotiations were progressing favor—
ably upon a proposition by Sir Julian for
a temporary agreement for the protection
of the seal during the breeding season,
but the pnblicatidn of instructions of the
treasury department to the revenue cut-
ters to capture poaching Canadian sealers,
caused Sir Julian, under instruction from
the foreign office, to break of negotiations.
It is understood that he informed the
Secretary of State that he was instructed
to say that if any Canadian sealers were
captured they would be released by force
if necessary.
PERSONALS.
President Harrison signed sundry bills,
among them the dependent pension bill,
then hied him to his family at Cape May,
on Thursday, and is reported to have
opened vigorous hostilities upon the New
Jersey mosquito which is sucking the
blood oi Baby McKee.
Secretary Blaine and family have left
for Bar Harbor, Secretaries windom and
Noble sailed down the bay for Norfolk,
and Secretary Tracy went to Portland to
help out the North Atlantic squadron’s
part in the Grand Army reunion there.
Senator Hawley and Representative
Russell fled to Woodstock to help out the
Bowen—Indcpcndcnt advertising hippo—
drome. Senator Platt remained in the
city with his sick wife.
Ex—Congressman Beverley Tucker died
at Richmond on the 4th. He was a
bright, genial and popular man, with a
big heart and a big brain.
Speaker Reed ordered all the pie stands
to be cleared out of the House end of the
capitol before the 4th. This;settles it,
and our friend Beach, of the Willimantic
Journal, will never support him for
President until that unfriendly edict is
repented of. .No man can reach the
Presidency with Beach’s aid who makes
war on pic.
Miss Estelle Herr-on, of this city, is
visiting the family of ex.U. S. Treasurer
Hyatt, at Norwalk. She is one of “’ash—
ington’s brightest and sweetest girls, and
the callow youths of Norwalk, who are
always appreciative, wrll be very apt to
attempt to adopt their fair Washington
guest.
C. G. Goodwin and Charles Paul, of
Bridgeport, are here.
Hon. Stewart L. Woodford is here in
the interest of the Waterbury Button 00.,
before the Senate tariff committee.
Hon. Fred Miles left for home last week
and expects to remain away a number of
days.
Francis 0. Long, of Wilton, for some
years a popular and efficient clerk in the
third auditor’s office of the treasury, has
recently been transferred to Treasurer
Houston’s bureau of the same department.

The Parallel Road.
- The railroad commissioners have accept.
ed the layout for the proposed New York,
Bridgeport and Eastern railroad from
Portchester, N. Y., to New Haven. The
general law under which a railroad may
be constructed states that prior to the ac-
ceptance of a line by the commissioners,
$50,000 in stock permile must be subscrib-
ed for, and five per cent. of this subscrip—
tion paid in, and that after the acceptance
of the line by the commissioners and before
the commencement of the construction of
the road, another subscription of $5,000
per mile five per cent. paid it must be
made.
The New York, Bridgeport and Eastern
Railroad has complied with the first named
condition and now that the commissioners
have approved their line, those interested
will make up another subscription of $5,-
000 per mile with five per cent. paid in.
This done the work of building the road
will be commenced. The law provides
that the work must begin within a year
after the acceptance of the line. Altogether
the company has four or five years in
which to complete the road, and it may be
granted an even longer time if the legisla.
ture sees fit to do so. The line accepted
by the railroad commissioners extends only
from Portchester to New Haven, forty—five
miles, but it is proposed to make a com—
plete job of the thing, and run the line
right through to Boston. This is the
desire of the Boston men, and they are,
with Henry R. Parrott, of Bridgeport, the
leaders in the enterprise. The directors
of the company are: Henry R. Parrots,
of Bridgeport; George R. Cowles, Edward
K. Lockwood and Clarence B. Coolidge,
of Norwalk; Andrew L. VVinton, of
Bridgeport ; James 1). Mowry, of Nor-
wich; George E. Spare and L. B. Adams,
of New Haven; Thomas N. Brown and
Charles B. Ingcrsoll, of New York; Wil-
liam Roach, of Boston , George S. Forbnsh,
of Brookline, Mass; and W. W. Douglas,
of Providence. It is understood that
there are certain questions' of law which
the commissioners thought did not come
under their jurisdiction. They have,
therefore, made their deciszon merely pro
forma ; the case will probably be brought
before the courts on qua tom-ranto pro—
ceedings by ex Speaker H. W. R. Hoyt of
lrcenwicli, representing certain property
holders.
_ .11. . ,,___-__. A-
Delano in Heaven-ston.
Rev. H. A. Delano writes a letter to the
Sentinel from Evanston, 11]., in which the
following appears:
“Evanston has an advantage. Yes, sir,
a boon,lieaven—sent, inestimable, glorious,
which Norwalk has not. First, I do not
believe there is a case of hunger, poverty
or suffering from lack of food, clothes,
shelter or physical comfort in this com-
munity. The people are all industrious.
I have never seen a man, woman or child
in this place who appeared to have nothing
to do. Girls—servant girls—have from
$3.50 to $521 week, $4.50 being a very
common price. Cabmen, valets, drivers,
chore boys, carpenters and all sorts of
people who work at such things as are
done here command the very highest
wages. This may be true of Norwalk.
But the point is, as to poverty; there is
none. Good Mrs. Barber and other like
philanthropists, would look in vain for it
in Evanston. The place is swarming with
young men-—a thousand male students in
addition to the regular population. But I
have never seen a young man intoxicated
sinceI have been in the town—ten months.
Indeed, I have not seen anybody intoxi-
cated in Evanston. I do not know that
there is a jail or ‘lockup’ in the. place.
towdvism, nocturnal shrieks, fights,
brawls, a murder! Why, nobody dreams
of it.
There is a liealty tone in social life.
Fonds, bickerings, arrests, police court,
‘plain drunks,’ thefts, scandalous out-
breaks of passion and riot, all these are
the unheard—of things. Everybody seems
to have plenty, and good times, happiness,
contentment and buoyancy of spirits are
very manifest. I am about the poorest
man I know anything about, in towu.
Thrift, frugality, industry, and joy reign
unhindered. I do not say absolute, but
as a rule. The like of it I have hitherto
seen, never.”
From which it appears that Brother
Delano is in the full enjoyment of the
reward of his labors here below in Nor—
walk. He has found Heaven.

Confederates Celebrate.
The Fourth of July exercises of the re-
union of the confederate veterans at.
Chattanooga took the form of a monster
parade. Two thousand veterans were in
line, together with the three regiments of
Tennessee state guards, encamped near the
city, and several military companies from
other southern cities. Gen. John B. Gor-
don was commander-in-chief,~Gen. E.
Kirby Smith, commanded the military
division. Fifty thousand people witnessed
the parade. In all the line not a single
confederate flag was displgyed, but every
command carried the national colors.
In the afternoon five thousand people
crowded into the great tent and listened
to Fourth of July orations, war reminis-
cences and patriotic music. At night- the
whole city was illuminated and Roman
lights and fireworks of various kinds made
the night brilliant. Lookout Mountain
and Missionary Ridge were ablaze with
bright lights and on the Tennessee river
Cameron I-Iill there were monster pyro-
technic displays.
In a speech at the tent Gen. Gordon of
Louisiana made the remark that time had
“shown that slavery was wrong and conse-
quently that the south had been on the
wrong side of the fight. 0

Another “Citizens’ ” Movement.
New York politics is to be diversified
this season by :1 Citizens’ movement,
upon the same general plan as similar
movements in the past, but with some
new features and modern improvements.
It call for the enlistment of the various
trades and professions. of the important
business interests, and of the literary and
religious guilds of the city against the
common enemy—the common enemy of
course is the party in power. The Tribune
says of the scheme:
That a resolute combination of all the
voters who are hostile to Tammny Hall
pould free the city from the grasp of that
ignorant, slothful and corrupt oligarchy is
concluswely shown by the records of past
elections. That such a combination can
be formed and kept together untilNovem-
ber remains to be proved. The move-
ment which is just starting has begun well
in beginning early and under irreproaciia-
ble auspices. Those to whom its manage
rnentis confided will make agreat mistake-
if they permit the fortunes of any individ-
ual to become involved in it on the one
hand, or, on the other, any evidence or
suSpicion of mystery to cling to it. They
must make their campaign absolutely
frank and fearless, and transparently dis-
interested, so that the whole community
may ransack it in vain for an unworthy
motive.

A Novel Celebration.
Asheville, N. C., celebrated the Fourth
with a unanimity and enthusiasm never
before approached in her history. All
business houses were closed and the whole
population and thousands of strangers
gave themselves up to pleasure. The
event of the day was the formal opening
of Montford Park to the public by Rich-
mond Pearson. One thousand men, white
and colored, formed in columns of fours
at the court square armed with picks and
shovels and marched to the park, three
miles distant and in an hour completed
one mile of public drives, for which each
man received one dollar. Thousands of
spectators witnessed the novel scene.
The Hartford Courant, Senator Hawley’s
paper, recently showed signs of heart
failure because the Post had alluded to a
pestiferous person as a sham and a liar.
In debate. in the Senate, on Thursday,
Senator Hawlcy characterized one Peirra
as a “liar" and “blackguard.” This would
seem to be a good time for the Gourant
to have breath failure.—— Washington Post.
Fourth of July at Willimantic, though
enjoyed to a good extent in various ways,
ended with a serious accident. Late in
the evening James Carroll picked up a
giant fire cracker, which he thought was
harmless, but which exploded in his hand,
tearing off a portion of his thumb and
first two fingers of his right hand and
terribly lacerated the palm. Saturday
morning the thumb and two fingers were
amputated. There were several other
accidents. A lad nearly lost one eye by
the explosion of a cracker thrown at him.
The close of the fiscal year 1890 finds the
government debt reduced to less than $1,-
000,000,000, if we include the Pacific rail-
road debt of $64,020,000, which those roads
are expected to pay; and less than $900,-
000,000 if we exclude that debt, allow for
the fractional coin held in the treasury,
and count out the accrued interest. This
compares with a debt of over $2,750,000,-
000 at the end of the civil war—the re-
duction in 25 years having amounted to
the extraordinary sum of over $1,800,000,-
ilOO, or about two-thirds of the original
obligation. The interest-bearing debt is
now under $790,000,000, mainly of 4 per
cent bonds.
—W. B. Hall & Co., the dry goods men
of Bridgeport, have enlarged their store
five times in twelve years and are now
adding another budding so much in shape
likea chapel that the Bridgeport papers
have named it Hall’s chapel. The Stand-
ard of the 2d thus speaks of it : ‘
Messrs. \V. 13. Hall d: Co. announce to-
day that they shall annex their new chapel
building about the first of August, and as
many alterations and improvements will
follow the annexation, they are determin-
ed to reduce their great stock of silks,
laces, fine wool press stuffs, and summer
cloaks before such alterations commence.
Last year the firm annexed the building of
the Young Men’s Christian Association
and were in hopes that it would furnish
room enough for them, but the demands
of the public and the rapidly increasing
business added to the special bargain lots
of goods, which it seems the good fortune
of the firm to secure, make it imperative
that still more room shall be added. The
very liberal patronage extended by the
people of Bridgeport, and the vast num-
bers of new numbers of new patrons from
other towns and cities in connetion with
the extra trade brought to the establish-
ment by excursion trains has made an
unusual aggregation of short ends and
remnants of fine laces, choice dress goods,
part pieces and short lengths of Silks and
satins, ends of surah, faille and trimming
silks, ends of velvets, odd lots of curtain
goodsn Hundreds of articles in the small
wares and notions rooms to be sold at a
great reduction in consequence of the
coming improvements. We prec‘ict a busy

The new law provides a
pension for dependent parents at $12 per month, regardless
of their pecuniary circumstances at time of the death of their
son, provided he left neither widow or minor children.
It also allows a pension of from $6 to $12 per month to
all who served ninety days in
the Military or Naval service
during the late war, who are by reason of physical or mental
disability unable to earn their support by manual labor.
Under this section of the law many who are now receiving
only $2 or $4 per month could easily obtain an increase.
Widows of those who served as above for a period of nine-
ty days or more, who are dependent upon their own labor for
support, will receive, upon submittance of proper evidence,
$8 per month, and $2 per month for each minor child under
sixteen (16) years of age, and this regardless of the fact
whether death was the result of army service or not.
N o fee is allowed me unless I am successful, and then the
fee is paid by the Pension Agent from the pension granted.~
