Hon. Frederick Miles.
Congressman Miles, not only received
the well deserved compliment of a renom.
ination by acclamation, but he deserves;
as well a reelection for his faithful and
successful efforts in behalf of the vast and
varied interests of Connecticut in the
tariff bill; for his success in securing
rightful pensions for hundreds of deserv-
ing Connecticut soldiers, and for his
fidelity to all of his constituents. What-
ever may be the political complexion of
the next House, the Senate and the
Administration remain republican for the
next two years, and no democrat, how-
ever deserving or talented, could possibly
be as serviceable to this district and the
state as Mr. Miles, who is in harmony
with both. This is a fact for every honest
and intelligent voter to consider when he
comes to deposit his ballot for him whom
he desires to best represent us in the next
Congress of the United States.

Tariff Changes.
A valued Washington correspondent
sends us the following auent the new and
changed tariff rates of duty and prices :
“In view of the fact that the tariff ele-
vates instead of lowers prices, it is a legiti-
mate hypothesis, that consumers will be
called upon to pay an advanced price all
along the line, regardless of the fact that
here and there duties have been materially
reduced. The New York Press in a
recent issue cites an instance where a pur-
chaser of sheet lead was charged 33 cents
above the old figures, on i‘. c groun.‘ that
the McKinley bill made it necessary. On
reference to that bill howevm, it was
found that the duty instead of being in-
creased, had actually been lowered from
3 cents to 2% cents per pound. So it is
quite likely to prove in other cases. The
new law will make a pretext for raising
the prices of everything and purchasers
should be on the alert. 11; is quite true
that nearly everything a man requires will
cost more than It has done heretofore, and
this furnishes the stronger reason for
noting occasional exceptions. The duty
on gum camphor, for example, is reduced
from 5 cents to 4 cents per pound, yet
caniphor in this market has gone up to
nearly if not quite double lts former price,
and it is alleged that the McKinley bill
has not affected it, but the prospect of its
being used in immense quantities in the
manufacture of smokeless powder has
caused a corner in the article. The duty
on chloroform has been lowered from 50 to
25 cents per pound, on white lead from 6
to 8 cents on cut nails from 1:}— to 1 cent
on wrought wire nails from 4 to 2 cents
and so on, and all these articles should be
marked dOwn and not up. And so with
the numerous articles on which the duties
remain in statu quo, and it goes without
saying that there should be no advance in
prices. Dealers will always hear a good
deal of watching. Whenever there is a
general tendency to advance prices, there
is danger that every kind of commodity
irrespective of duty will float with the
advancing tide.”
Lucinda Allevn’s Pefision.
The recent death of “Auntie” Lucinda
Allen gives pathetic interest to the fact
that, at the last session of Congress,
Senator Platt introduced the following
bill granting a well deserved and much
needed pension to this aged daughter of a
revolutionary war patriot :—
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, That the
Secretary be, and he is hereby, authorized
and directed to place on the pension roll
the name of Lucinda Allen, daughter of
the late Stephen Allen, a soldier 'Of the
revolutionary war, and pay her a pension
at the rate of twenty dollars per month.
On June 10th Senator Blair, of the
committee on pensions, made the follow-
ing report :—- .
The committee on pensions, to whom
was referred the bill granting a pension
o Lucinda Allen, have examined the same
and report:
Miss Allen is the daughter of a soldier
of the revolutionary war. She also had a
grandfather in that war, and two brothers
in the war of 1812. She is now 91 years
of age and dependent. Her claim is a
worthy one; there are precedents for such
action.
Your committee therefore report the
bill favorably and recommend its passage.
The bill passed the Senate and went to
the House, where it failed for want of
time, and her death will of course now
put an end to all further consideration of
the bill.
The American Institute Fair.
This old-time annual exhibition is now
in full blast, and crowds are daily and
nightly visiting and viewing the novelties
in art, machinery, merchandise, and all
the numerous .and various articles of.
human creation that go to make this so
instructive as well as interesting an exhi-
bition. Don’t fall to visit the Institute fair.
‘ outside are scrambling for entrance.
The Biz Fair.
“A brief report of the Danbury fair 1”
was the order of the editor-in-chief. It’s
an impossibility. Why, the Danbury News
had more than a'full page account every
day of the six days, and didn’t slop over
into tedious details at that. A “brief re-
port” of that chaotic, endless, kaleido-
scopic, ever moving, panoramic pande-
monium and confusion of people and
things and sounds and sensations! “It
can’t be did.” Just go over some of the
ground on the fly, and attempt to gather
material for any sort of a “brief report”
and observe how quickly you’re all at sea.
If you go from the town to the fair grounds
by rail, first catch yOur train—that involves
a struggle with difficulties to start with
when 1,000 people are scrambling to
board a train whose outside capacity is
500 passengers. After being squeezed
and walked on and elbowed and mauled
and pocket picked for a couple of miles
you get off at the entrance to that big thing
and are swept along through the gates in
the pushing, seething, surging and resist-
less tide of impatient humanity. But
don’t try to hang back or escape. It’s no
use. Keep gO‘i‘ng; push, crowd,punch,
forge ahead. Act upon the impulse that
inspires everybody else—that if you don’t
hurry up, the whole cattle show and all the
cookie stands will run away from you.
If you step on a woman’s train and rip it
off the waist, never mind, there's a train
every few minutes; besides, if she loses
her train she can take a carryall. If a
child is knocked down in front of you,
step over him if you can; if not, step on
him. Wiggle your way up to the scene of
the craziest activity and look around you.
What an endless and restless and varie-
gated ocean of people! All trying to go
somewhere and all getting nowhere, but
all satisfied just the same. That’s what
they are here for. Go into the big exhibi-
tion building and see the nice things that
skillful hands and enthu§iastic cranks have
stitched and painted and glued and knit
and found and bought and perchance
stolen. At every entrance to every tent
and building the crowd diverges and flows
in just as the overflow of a swollen river
darts into every outlet that invites it. You
are wafted into the art gallery with the
easiest difficulty imaginable, but here the
crowd is so dense and the pressure so
strong that your backbone is forced into
your stomach and things begin to swim.
You can’t see any of the exhibits and you
turn to go out at the door you entered,
but there are as many behind you aslthcre
are ahead and still the crushing multitude
You
are in for it and might as well drift with
the tide. Notwithstanding the building
is full to its utmost capacity there’s always
room for a thousand or two more. You
never see anybody going out of the build-
ing; they’re forever coming in. With
patience and resignation you work your
passage through to an exit on the other
side and go out. You haven’t seen the
crazy quilts nor the paintings nor the
embroidery nor the rugs nor the thousand
and one other nice things, but they were
there just the same, and when you get
home you can say you went through the
building where they were. Now stay out-
doors and allow yourself to be pushed
about the “plaza,” look at the people and
hear the discordant and everlasting noises.
Bedlam is let loose and the air is cloudy
with its density of sound, in which are
blended the squawking of a thousand
penny squawkers, the hoarse and ungram-
matical harangue of the side show lectur-
er, the shouts of the innumerable fakirs of
tin jewelry, horse whips, toy balloons,
hot sausages and all those things; the
agonizing drone of a cripple’s crippled
hand-organ, the reckless slam-bang of a
snide show’s one horse drum corps, the
inspiring strains of the Weed band, the
applause of a mighty host on the grand
stand, the vociferous solicitations of the
restaurant runners and the constant buzz
that inevitably goes up from a tremendous
multitude. You watch the fakirs.
They’re a never failing source of amuse-
ment and the tactics they employ to hold
and interest their crowds of victims are
many and funny. Once in awhile you
see a thimble rigger,or a three card monte
man, or a sweat board manipulator as-
sisting the uninitiated in thebeneficenttask
of cutting their eye-teeth, but a healthy
respect for blue buttons enables them
to sniff an officer from afar and they
suddenly suspend business when instinct
prompts them, which is generally about
the time a;detective or constable is ap-
proaching. You go into a side show and
come out kicking yourself for a jackass.
You go into one of the many restaurants
under the grand stand, eat some Norwalk
oysters and feel bettpr. You make a note
of the cripples and freaks and monstrosi-
ties who are there on the same business
as yourself. There are hunchbacks, one-
legged men, no-armed men, people with
ears chawed off and eyes gouged out,
deaf and dumb, drunk, crazy, and other-
wise conspicuous. You go on the grand
stand and watch the trotting and see the
trained dogs and listen to the betting all
around you. You watch Daring Donald,
the reckless rascal, as he jumps up into
the air a mile high, pushing a big balloon
up ahead of him, then lets go and flies
down again, knocking the apples all off a
walnut tree and the skin all off. his legs as
he comes crashing down through the
branches. You walk around some'more,
look at the people again, have your 'pic-
ture taken, buy a balloon and a sandwich,
take along range view of the exhibition
building once more and turn away with a
shudder, look at your watch and see that
you must start for the cars immediately
if you want to connect for home, and on
your way you inwardly ponder upon the
experience of the day and try to make up
your mind where you would begin if you
were ordered to write a “brief report of
the Daubury fair."
Rogers for Senator.
The republicans of the 13th Senatorial
district held their convention in the parlors
of the Mahackemo hotel on Monday fore-
noon, twenty-four delegates being present.
John H. Light, Esq., was elected chair-
man and W. G. Staples secretary. The
senatorial committee was elected as fol-
lows: Joseph A. Gray, Norwalk; George
P. Jennings, Westport; Howard N. Wake-
man, Fairfield ; David L. Coley, ,Weston;
Walter . Curtis, Trumbull; T} B. Fair—
child, Stratford ; Previous to taking an
informal ballot for a candidate fol- senator
Stiles Judson, Jr. of Stratford preheated in
a brief speech, the name of Frank L,
Rogers, Esq., of Fairfield. Ex-Se‘nator E.
J. Hill, of Norwalk, was nominated by
LeGrand C. Betts. The first ballot gave
Rogers 12, Hill 11. The second ballot was
made formal and showed Rogers 16, Hill
6, and the nomination of Mr. Rogers was
then made unanimous by acclammation.
Mr. Rogers was escorted to the parlor by
Messrs. Betts and Judson, and made a
lengthy and able speech of acceptance.
The candidate is a young lawyer of recog-
nized ability and bright promise, popular
and strong in hishtown and well and fa-
vorably known in the district. He will
make a strong fight against Candidate
Seymour, and would be a worthy successor
to Senator Catlin. '

Col. Osborn’s Oratory.
Col. Osborn, of the New Haven Register,
excoriatcs N. D. Sperry, of that city, for
certain utterances on the tariff, made at a
recent banquet. Says the valiant Colonel:
“The test of true oratory is to resist the
temptations and blandishments which
proceed from a pleasant association at the
dining table. ‘ When one has dined well,
his view of life grows rosier and rosier,
and, under the inspiration of an associa-
tiou based on a common idea, is apt, un-
less under splendid self control, to give
exaggerated expressions to his views.
Such speeches should be made in secret
session, for the cold outside world, which
has indulged in its simple every day sup-
per, does not catch the spirit of them.”
Brave words these, and spoken like a
hero, for while they are aimed at the
barriers of Protection and their effect is to
nullify Protection’s arguments, they in-
volve a degree of self abnegation on the
part of the Colonel that would do credit
to the most patriotic of Roman patriots.
As an after-dinner speaker Colonel Osborn
has few equals. At the banqueting board,
whatever he the nature of the occasion,
whether or not the flashing of wit and the
cracking ofjokes play second fiddle to the
popping of corks and the seductive sissing
of the sparkling wine; where reason is
part of the feast, and soul flowsand gush-
es, the head Of the table'is where Colonel
MacGregor Osborn sits and that is the
fountain head of flowery eloquence and
poetry and wit and oratorical felicity.
Who that heard it, can ever forget the
Colonel’s glowing eulogy of his friend Col.
‘tevenson at a recent banquet of the Con-
necticut Press Association, of which, at
that time the eulogist was president? In
that address he alluded touchingly to his
love for Co]. Stevenson and said: “We
won our titles and our shoulder straps in
the same bloody battles,” and gave express-
ion to many other well deserved and hap-
pily stated words of praise, which even the
“cold outside world which indulges in a
simple every day supper” would refuse to
attribute to the “temptations and blandish-
ments of the pleasant associations at the
dining table,” with which Col. Osborn was
surrounded.

THE FFECT OF THE TARIFF
ON THE PRICE OF CLOTHING.
The passage of the new Tar-
iff Act will not produce any
price of clothing, because
Winter stocks are already pre-
pared and most of the cloth
for next Spring’s trade has
been delivered or contracted
for. Foreign cloths for next
Spring’s consumption, still to
come, will be advanced in cost
ten to fifteen per cent. by the
increased duties, which will add
six or eight per cent. to the
retail price of a garment.
To some extent, therefore,
the finer grades of clothing
will cost the consumer slightly,
moré next‘Spring, but he will
hardly realize the fact, because
it is difficult for even an ex-
pert to detect a difference of
five or ten per cent. in the
value of a garment, so much
depends upon its trimming
and tailoring.
The operation of the new
tariff will not fairly begin to be
felt until next Autumn, but
even then there is a mitiga-
ting circumstance in the fact
that fewer Winter cloths are
imported than Spring, because
the weight duty is a barrier
against the foreign maker.
Still, there are certain fabrics
that must be imported be-
cause we cannot yet make
them ourselves.
The final adjustment of
prices will be gradual; and
whether it be higher or lower
than at present no mortal can
tell. We only know that the
factors of competition, of in-
vention and of adaptation are
continually working in the di-
rection of lower prices.
It is safe to assert that the
great mass of people who usu-
ally wear low and medium-
priced ready-made clothes will
immediate effect upon the
