Republican State Convention.

The Republican State Central committee
of Connecticut, at its meeting held last
week, decrded to call their state conven-
tion On Wednesday, September 17th.
This gives a six weeks’ canvass, which, it
short, can be made all the more spirited
and vigorous. By that time also Congress
may reasonably be expected to have
passed an improved tarilI bill and so
shaped or enacted other matters of im;
portant legislation now under its consid-
eration as to command the hearty approv~
al of the Republicans of the state. No
more complicated and difficult. problem
for legislative action is ever brought
beforeCougress than a thorough and com-
plete tariff law. Its features have to be
adapted to the greatest good to the
est number of the citizens of this vast and

unpopular at the west, and so what most
pleases the south is agaiumost displcasing

The bill has to be one of the most delicate

thing like harmonious support from morn.
bers of Congress from all sections of this
great Union of States. An immense
amount of time and labor has been be-
stowed upon the present tariil’ hill now
before Congress. and which is chr-
shadowing all other interests up for its
consideration. Many changes have been
made in its provisions since the bill left
the House Committee of Ways and Means
and the Senate Committee of Finance, and
many more alterations are likely to be
made bet” re the bill becomes a. law. In
nearly every instances these changes have
been consented to by the friends of the
bill as in the nature of improvements. So
that when the Tariff bill of 1889—90 shall
have become a law, its friends believe it
will prove the most complete and bene-
ilcial tariff not ever passed by our Ameri—
can Congress.

In the matter of the Federal Elections
bill, as now under consideration by Con-
gress, earnest Republicans a re at present
divider”: as to its wisdom and expediency.
3y the time the Connecticut Republican
State Convention meets this diversified
sentiment will no druid have crystalizcd
and some bill be form.....ted upon which
all Republicans can find a common ground
to stand upon and battle with united and
unbroken front.

So far as the rational
concerned there are few, if any Republi-
cans who have not been disappointed in
their personal aspirations for office, who
do not concede it to have been thus far a
remarkably cleap, able and dignified one,
and deserving and receiving in a special
senSe the confidence and approbation of
the part; which placed it in power, and
the pe=‘lplc of the entire nation. So that
the llepublican State Convention of
Connecticut for 1890 is likely to meet
under auspices unusually bright and

What Shall It Be ?

the Republican State Committee, on

'l‘uesday, issued a call for a state conven-
tion to be held at New Haven, September
16, t c ilOlll‘ of assembling being fixed at
8p. m. at. the Hyperion Theatre. This
will make a short and necessarily a sharp
campaign. The general sentiment seems
to be that the fight should be made on
national issues, but we would suggest to
the stale committee that the two leading
questions, the election and tariff hills are
not yet disposed of and possibly may not
be by September 171b, and that, as a rule,
an enemy must be fought where he is, and
not where one wishes him to be, and that
probably the democratic party of Connec-
ticut will choose to make their light upon
state issues.

A wise policy would seem to dictate
that candidates should be named, who
would cause no sharp criticism because of
the unfortunate complications of the past
two years, and who would be as accept-
able as any others on all national
questions. Looking over the entire field,
considering the question in all its bearings,
can the republican party do a wiser thing
than to name General S. E. Merwin for
governor and E. Stevens Henry for treas-
urer? The popularity of General Merwin
has been shown again and again ‘ey the
remarkable vote cast for him whenever he
has been a candidate. The matchless
record of Mr. Henry as treasurer, through
whose prudent and far seeing management
of the oifice the state tax has been abol-
ished and the burden of state expenses
fairly distributed and equitably taxed
upon corporations receiving their fran-
chises from the people, should make him
his own successor. Choose a lieutenant-
governor from Fairfield county, a secre-
tary of state from Hartford“ give the
granger element a representative .111 the
office of comptroller, and crowning all,

I with the re-election of Senator O. H.
Platt at stake, the republican party will be
be irresistible. Will the convention be
equal to the situation and foreordain a
victory ?—-Récord.

An exchange says: A “volt” is a thing
little understood. According to a

good description of it, the volt gives one
blow of a specified force. As volts are
added together the force of the blow is
increased until the endurance limit- is
reached. It takes about twenty-five volts
to make a perceptible tingling sensation
becomes unmistakable, but not strong,
while one hundred volts feel lively, two
hundred volts strong, three hundred volts
powerful, four hundred volts Titanic, and
five hundred volts knocks a man flat.

Congress.

All last. week the House was engaged in
desultory action on unimportant bills on
the calendar. The Senate plodded along
with the tariff, and at the hour of adjourn-
ment had reached page 27 of 181, leaving
154 pages yet to be considered. If the
same rate of progress thus far made he
continued to its end it will prolong the
session to the December opening of the
next session of this Congress. Senator
Frye gave way his River and Harbor bill,
that was by agreement. to have been con-
sidered last Friday, on the understanding
that the Tariff bill was to be side tracked
this week Friday and that bill taken up
and disposed of. This action will still
further defer the finish of the Tariff bill
the best part of aweek. Senator Edmunds
said that while he was in favor of a River
and Harbor bill the tariff was the burning
question of the hour, to use an old phrase,
appealing to people who believed in free
trade, in a low tariff, in a high tarifif, or in
protective prohibition. People want to
know their business Situation. He there-
fore believed it to be. the duty of the
Senate to go it steadfastly with the Tariff
bill until it was determined.

Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island, who
has the Tariff bill in charge. and who is
probably the best and most thoroughly
posted man in Congress on all thrill" and
revenue matters, expressed his great grat—
ification that the senator from Maine had
decided to postpone the River and Harbor
bill for another week. Intense interest
existed throughout the country that the
Tariff bill should he proceeded with as
rapidly as possible. In view of the con-
siderable time already occupied in the
general discussion of the measure, he was
in hepes that substantial progress would
made in the next few days, and that the
consideration of the bill would be practic-
ally finished Within the next week.

Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, said he
admitted the importance of the River and
Harbor bill, and was willing to give it a
frank welcome at as early a day as pos-
sible. But no man could tell to how large
an extent. the interests of the whole
country were involved in the Tariff bill.
He spoke not for protectionists alone, but.
for protectionists and tree traders, for
Democrats and Republicans, for manu-
facturers and employee, in sayinv that
hundreds of millions of capital were wait-
ing and hoping to see some conclusion of
the Tariff bill. Whether they put a cent
of duty on or tool; a cent of duty 011' was
not the primary question. The monstrous
industrial power of the country wanted
peace.

 

The Postage Stamp Fraud.

Every few weeks some one announces
himself as the victim of,.thc one-million—
postage-stamp hoax. It is firmly believed
by many peOplc that if 1,000,000 stamps
are collected and forwarded to some one,
a bed will be provided for an invalid boy
in some hosliital, or a home for an orphan
will be secured, or a large amount of
money will be paid.

Churches have been the special victims,
and there is hardly a city in England, the
United States, Australia, India or in any
other country that has not had several
church members begging, borrowing and
helping themselves to postage stamps in
order to make up a million that will go to
cloth and feed some orphan.

The swindle originated in the fertile
brain of a postage stamp collector at Stet-
tin, Germany. He desired to get vast
collections to sort out and sell again, and
hit upon the plan to set the whole civilized
world at. work for him gratis. lie preyed
on the sympathies of people by announc—
ing that an orphan would be cared for in
the “Syrian Orphan Home" for every 1,-
000,000 stamps sent to him. This worked
well and the next dodge was the starting
of a mythical mission in China, the holy
sisters of which were said to have agreed,
for every million stamps sent to them, to
save from the jaws of the crocodiles of
the Yellow river at least one Chinese baby,
and then educate and christianize it. The
stamps were to be sent, not to Jerusalem
or China, but to Munich or Stettin. The

'last claim on the sympathy of the world

that has been made by this German is that
for 1,000,000 stamps a home for an old
lady or an old gentleman will be provided
in one of three homes—one in London,
another in New York and a third in Cin-
cinnati. For 500,000 stamps a bed will be
endowed in a hospital, and for 100,000 a
home will be found for an orphan for one
year. It is estimated that the Stcttin man
has collected over 100,000,000 stamps in
the United States alone. One of his cir-
culars was received by a New Havener
yesterday. It is a clever dodge to get
something for nothing.

 

Mr. Ebenezer-F. Foster died inRedding,
on Wednesday, aged 04 years. He was
born in Ridgefield. He was a member of
the legislature in 1873 and 1874, repre
senting his native town, and was at one
time a member of the board of county
commissioners, serving six years and
resigning in 1880. He was an enthusiastic
worker at agricultural fairs, and for 'sev—
eral years acted as marshal at the county
fair, and later filled the same office at the
Danbury fair. He leaves a Widow. His
illness dates back to the time of the
blizzard, when overwork brought on a
nasal trouble, but he had of late been
feeling in fair health. The DanburyNews
says that he was about his farm ‘ in Red—

A Summer Day.
There’s not. a. cloud upon the sky,

There’s not. awave upon the sea;

The bees are sleeping on the wing,

The birds arejall too dull to sing;
They do not. even care to fly,

Brit pluck their feathers lazily,

Or twitter deeply from the throat.

Some snatch of mellow vespei: hymn,

As, languidly, they rise and float,
Scarce showing to the keenest sight
A stir of plumage in their flight;

Then, sinking to some nodding limb,
They drop the night-cap o‘er their sight,
To shut. away the heat and light,

And dream, perhaps, of foliaged tree,

01' loving mate and downy nest,

or eggs, so lull of life to be,

Of home and song and quiet. rest:
Who Knoweth wliata. bird may dream ?
Let him complete the happy theme.
The. flowers are hiding ’mid the green,

Or drooping meekly to the earth ;

They wither, through these gilded hours,

And thirst for dews and gentle showers;
They qurver in the golden sheen,

Like I‘railest plants, of gentle. birth ;

The}: [old their parehing petals up
And hold in vain the‘ernpty cup,
Pleading against the heat. and dearth.
The leaves upon the trees are still;
And all the air is sickly faint,
And seeiris as mute as places will

Where. death has come and left his taint;
And everything as breathless seems
As in the nightmare of our dreams,

It is too dead to call it. calm ;

And all the breath of scented bloom

Is more a poison than a. balm,

So hot and dry is its perfume.

A low cloud rises in the west,

And gathers blackness, thick and lust;
Deep Inutterings break the hush of rest

And o’er the earth a clull is east ;

An angry gleam is in the sky,

The thunsdcr peril sounds wrathi'ully;
The great, grey drops fall swiftly down,
And hiss upon the heated stone,

But. softly as a baby’s rest,

They hide them in the lily’s breast.

A thankful whisper stirs the air ;

The rain brings blessings everywhere :

The flowers now yield a wholesome scent,

Which with the air is sweetly blent;

The birds are twittering in the green,

And sifting raindrops down between ;
Past is the dangerous fever heat
And all the earth is fresh and sweet;

A tinted rainbow spans the sky ;

Relieved is the earth’s extremity,

Blessed in God's opportunity.

John Boyle O’Reilly Dead.

John Boyle O’Rcilly, the poet and editor
of the Boston Pilot, died suddenly of
heart failure at his summer residence in
lluli about 4 o’clock Sunday morning.
Saturday lie was at his desk in the Pilot
oflice apparently in the best of health. In
the evening his brother—in -law, John ll.
Murphy, was at Mr. O’Ileilly’s home in
Hull, and when at 10 o’clock he returned
to Hotel l’cmbcrton, where he is stopping,
Mr. C’ leilly accompanied him. During
l‘i‘lr. O‘Rellly’s absence, his wife, who is
an invalid, retired. She llWOkO between
2 and 3 o’clock Sunday morning, and
noticing that her husband had not retired
stepped into the. sittingr room, where she
found him apparently asleep in an easy
chair, With one hand resting on a table,
near an open book, and in the other hand
a partly smoked cigar. She was unable
to arouse him and medical aid was sum -
moncd but all efforts to resuscitate him
were in vain. Mr. O’Rcilly has been a
suticrer from an affection of the heart for
several years, and for some time past has
been afflicted with insomnia. Mrs.
O’Rcilly has been an invalid for years and
is completely prostratcd by her bereave—

winter home in Charleston.

Some Incidents of the Census.

The lot of the census taker in various
parts of the state was frequently relieved by
events that must have appealed strongly to
his sense of humor. The enumerator at
Danbury, encountered the wife of an Irish
lied-carrier, who tried to conceal her hus-
band’s humble occupation by stating that
he was an “ascender and descender.” She
held out strongly against giving any further
information and it was from other sources
that an explanation of this peculiar employ-
ment was obtained. A Bridgeport woman
refused for some time to give her husband's
occupation, and at last defined him as “Jack
'of-all-trades.” The enumeratoi raised all
he: indignation by recording him as a hod‘
carrier. Then"he learned that he was an
engineer, but it was too late to make
changes, and the woman obstinately refused
to reply to any more questions. The carn-
ings of one poor census taker were largely
devoted to paying for an expensive damask
tablecloth which he ruined with a bottle of
ink. Among the physicians there was a
universal dislike to the demand for their
knowledge of the diseases of the people.
There were various ways of avoiding the
blanks sent to them, asking if they had dis-
eases among their patients, the nature of
which they did not wish to disclose. One
doctor at Bridgeport went so far as to turn
all his patients over to another physician so
that he could answer in the negative for the
time being.
