The Speakership.
Naturally the subject of who is to be
the speaker of the next Connecticut House
of Representatives is awakening general
and serious consideration. There does not
appear to be even the usual abundance of
speaker timber among the reported mem-
bers-elect. We have seen no name yet
mentiOned, which in all respects and in
every particular, so fully fills the require-
ments of that trying and responsible
position as that of our own representative,
Gris. CHARLES OLMSTEAD, of Norwalk.
From time out of mind he has been the
chairman of our home town meetings
whenever he could be induced to serve.
In the last House lie presided with credit
when called to the chair, which was fre-
He is not only thoroughly
VCi‘Sed in parliamentary rules and usages
quently done.
and up in Jefferson’s and Cilshing’s manu-
als, but he has a quick and alert eye and
level head, with rare discretion and judg-
ment, and, as speaker, would not make
an arbitrary, mean or unjust ruling. In
other words, while entirely familiar with
our congressional forms of order and
precedents, he is a man who, in the
speaker’s chair, would never mortify his
friends or anger his opponents by errone—
ous rulings, or by “slopping over.” No
one, who has not served in some such
legislative assembly, can apprecmte the
necessity of securing both a competent
and dignified and level-headed presiding
, ofiicer. Such a speaker of the assembly
is essential to a short session, ensuring
a rapid and correct transaction of current
legislation, and in no other way can the
comfort of members be so absolutely
secured. The questions sure to arise as
to disputed votes at the state election,
make among other things the selection of
a wise and thoroughly experienced and
equipped parliamentarian for speaker, an
imperative duty. No man in Connecticut
is more deserving the boner for services
rendered his party. It is not on that
ground; however, but only because of his
fitness that the GAZETTE nominates Gen.
Olmstcad.

More Marked Ballots Found.
rI‘he most startling testimony which has
yet been adduced upon the question of the
specked ballots was brought to the office of
the Post to-day by Senator M, S. Chapman,
in the form of a quantity of ballots left over
from the election at Manchester. Out of
the 540 ballots in the package 10 per cent
were marked in such a way that a casual
glance would arouse suspicion that they
had been marked intentionally. A closer
examination revealed the fact that in every
case the mark was due to some defect in
the printing or imperfection in the paper.
Some bear a mark which looks like the
faint tracing of a pencil, and have round
black spots like fly specks. Watermarks
are common, looking not unlike the mark
of a pencil, and the generally poor quality
of the paper and its liability to bear less
noticeable imperfections is proved by one
ballot having a good sized hole in it,
The percentage of imperfect ballotsfound
in this one package, is a fair estimate of the
number of similarly marked ballots which
must have been cast by both parties at the
recent election. There is little doubt that
the Bridgeport ballots are marked similiar
to those in possession of the Post. If they
are thrown out by the courts, thousands of
others cast Oil the same day,_by both demo-
crats and republicans will be affected by
the decision.—Hartford Post.
-—————‘.’—————l————
The Reason Why.
The Courant is informed from entirely
trustworthy sources of a political fact
bearing on the present election which de—
serves public recognition. A republican
in one of our Connecticut towns announc-
ed that he should vote the democratic
ticket. Being asked why, he said it was
to condemn the republican policy. To
nee his owu words :—
“ Here’s the republican party with a
surplus of $60,000,000 in the treasury.
Why don’t it pay off this McKinley bill
and get it out or the way? If it don’t
know enough for that, then I’m done
with it."
Education in Connecticut is compulsory
and the best newspapers sell for three
cents apiece, but look at this.-Uourant.
This fora republican, beats the Illinois
democrat of whom Col. “Bob” Ingersoll
states of a truth, that he wanted to vote
for Gen. Garfield on personal G. A. R.
grounds but “ couldn’t vote. for a man
who would write a forged letter.”

A few days ago, workmen began the
preliminary work for a large shop on Canal
street in Dahbury. The stakes that define
the outlines of the ground plan are on both
sides of arailway track, and part of the
foundation walls on the northwest side are
now built. The idea of a factory being
built on both sides of a railway track is a
novel. The building will be 160 feet long
and 115 wide” and three stories high,
which wrff make it the largest factory in
town. The plans of the ground floor look
like two large factories joined in the cen—
ter by a large robin, or otherwise like a fat
capital letter H. The opening on the
south side is where the railroad track runs
in apd the opening on the north side is:for-
the truck wagons to load and unload.
Both the wagon roadway and the railroad
track back intothe center room that unites
the two bigwings of the building. . The
factory is being built for the firm of Nicki

The Pitch Monument.
The accompanying cilt, (for the loan of
which we are indebted to the kindness of
the New York .Sun,) gives an accurate
idea of the appearance of the monument
erected at Kensico, to the memory of the
late Judge John Fitch, whoes death we
recorded a few months ago, and who was
well known personally to many Citizens of
this town, which be frequently visited,
and at every visit, Went to look upon the
graves of his distinguished ancestors who
lie buried here.
The monument was unveiled Oil Wed-
nesday of last week with imposing cere-
monies iil the presence of a large gather-
ing of distinguished men belonging to the
Sous of the Revolution, by which society
the monument was erected iii honor of
their zealous and distinguished fellow
member. The monument stands on a hill
overlooking Kensico lake. H. Edward
Fischen, the designer, had in view the
scenery that was to surround it. It rep-

resents a rugged rustic wall, from which
rises a Druid cross, the whole forming a
section of a circle. The centre of the wall
directly under the cross bears the name
Fitch, while on panels to the right and left
are the inscriptions: “To the memory of
the Hon. John Fitch, aged ’79 years,”-,and
“Erected by the Society of the Sons of
the Revolution. Eugi monumentum acre
perennius.” The material is Cape Ann
granite, and the monument cost $51,500.
On behalf of the trustees of the ,KenSlco
cemetery Gen. Husted presented the lot in
which the monument stands to the Sons
of the Revolution. Frederick S. Tall-
madge, presidentof the society, responded.
The Rev. Brockholst Morgan pronounced
the words of the Episcopal burial service,
and then a flag covering the monument
was drawn aside.

Dr. Koch’s Discovery.
As to Dr. Koch’s so-called consumption
method, Professor Nothnagel of Vienna
University declares :
“Professor Koch has brought us face to
face with one of the greatest intellectual
achievements in the province of medicine
for centuries past, comparable only to J on-
,nerlggreat vaccination worlg But it has
vfar wider scope and is altogether one of
the grandest feats in the history of medical
science. Professor Koch’s methodis pure-
ly scientific, and, as in other great dis.
coveries, chance or accident has no part in
it. The present moment is among the
, Obituary.
Mr. James Thom, a former and highly
respected resident of Nor-walk, died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Dunning, on
West Fourth street, New York, shortly
after 5 o’clock, Saturday morning. His
funeral was attended yesterday, and his
remains were interred in Greenwood ceme-
tery.
Mr. Thom was a native of Scotland, and
was born in Glasgow on March list, 1810.
In 1849 he emigrated to this country and
took up his residence in New York city.
In the fall of 1856 he came to Norwalk
and was employed in the Beatty straw hat
works for a number of years, afterwards
returning to New York, where he has ever
since reSided. Mr. Thom came of an old
and highly respected Scotch family, and
wasa near relative of James Thom, the
celebrated Scotch sculptor.
Deceased has many friends here in
Norwalk, who cherish his friendship in
their memories, even though he has not
been here in a number ofyeai's on account
of his advanced age. He was a member
of the First Presbyterian church, of New
York, and a consistent Christian. He did
not measure men by Words but by deeds.
Upright and honorable in his dealings he
commanded the respect of all with whom
he came iii contact. He was always true
to his friends and gained the respect
of others because be cherished his own
self respect. He deeply sympathized with
those tvho were unfortunate and cherished
iii his true and generous nature the oft
quoted saying of Robert Burns’: “A man’s
a man for a’ that and a’ that.” Friendship
was not. to him an empty sound but always
an emblem of truth and honor. He was a
kind and loving husband and father and
leaves five daughters and a number of
grandchildren to mourn his loss. lIe long
had passed the three score years and ten,
his strength holding out till he had reach-
ed four score years, and then he passed to
that unknown country leaving behind
him “a good name which is more to be
desired than great riches.” May he rest
in peace. '

A. Suggestion.
ED GAZETTE :-Somc time since your
valuable paper suggested that the parallel
railroad be built by the land owners.
John Cody an Irish railroad engineer fully
endorses this plan and says that if the
owners of land within a mile of the line
between Yonkers and New London will
raise $2,000,000 he will build the road in
six months, at a cost of $12,000,000. He
will purchase extra land to the amount of
$3,000,000. He will employ at once all
the local [surveyors and contractors and
@pgtncythegroad as it shoulddoe, and he,
further. says he is satisfied that the road.-
will be worth $21,000,000. He recommends
immediate organization and‘no delay. The
opening of the road will bring in a new
land section which will be doubled in
value at once. He is in contact with the
most sublime that humanity has known.”
Billroth says: “An immense perspect-
ive opens out before our eyes. It is be-
yond doubt, in my opinion, that we shall
find a remedy for that greatest mystery in
medicine, cancer, for experience renders
it probable that carcinoma also is of ba-
cillic origin.”
Dr. Kowalski the famous Austrian bac-
teriologist, is astounded and delighted at
Koch’s discovery, and has started for Ber-
lin by order of the war department to
study it with a view to applying it to pa-
tients in the military hospitals. This
phenomenal professional enthusiasm has
naturally communicated itself to the people
at large, and sufferers from consumption
are making their way to Berlin from all
parts of Europe.

Our Compliments to the Tribune.
It is amazing that for a dollar a year the
New York Tribune can provide a weekly
newspaper, which will contain such fea-
tures as are proposed for 1891. See pros-
pectus in another column. No one can
read what the Tribune has tosay for itself
without being struck with the sincerity,
patriotism of purpose and enterprise of
that great national newspaper. It has
collected a large corps of special contrib-
utors comprising many of the most prom-
inent men in America, and will have long
articles from them on leading questions of
the day; and it is noteworthy that the
Tribune,‘ true to its own patriotic pur-
poses, has made up its list of writers with-
out going abroad for any of them. We
risk little in saying that its enterprise in
securing Roswell G. Horr, of Michigan, to
explain the tariff to the farmers of the
country will receives rich reward. Sec-
retary Rusk, Julius C. Burrows, of Michi-
gan,P.. T Barnum, and the long list of
special writers will certainly supply im.
portant essays. The Tribune is the best
of the metropolitan weeklies, and readers
will do well to send for a sample copy
before making their subscriptions, the
coming winter. ' ‘ . -

Children’s Literature.
wuar “summon/ls” HAS DONE FOR BOYS asp
GIRLS.
Victor Hugo calls this "the woman’s centu-
rv,” and he might have added that it is the
children’s century as well, for never before in
he world’s history has so much thought been
paid to‘ children—their schools, their books,
their pictures, and their toys. Childhood, as
we understand it, is a recent discovery.
Up to the time of the issue of the St-Nicholas
Magazine seventeen years ago literature and
children’s magazines were almost contradic-
tor terms, but the new periodical started out
wit the idea that nothing was too good for
children ; the result has been a juvenile maga-
zine genuine with conscientious purpose,-—the
greatest writers contributing to it, with the
best artists and engravers helping to beautify
it,—and everything tuned to the key-note of
nth.
”It has been the special aim of St.Nicholas to
supplant unhealthy liierature with stories of a
living and healthful interest. It will not do to
take fascinating bad literature out of boys’
hands, and give them in its place Mrs. Bar-
bauld and Peter Parley. or the work of writers
who think any “good-y” talk will do for child-
ren, but they must have strong, interesting
reading, with the blood and sinew of real life
in it,—reading that will waken them to a closer
observation of the best thing about them.
In the seventeen years of its life St.Nicholas
has not only elevated the children, but it has
also elevated the tone of contemporary child-
ren’s literature as well. Many of" its stories,
like Mrs- Burnett’s “Little Lord Fauntleroy”
have become classic. It is not too much to say
that almost every notable young people’s story
now produced in America first seeks the light
in the pages of that ma-gazme.
The year 1891 will prove one} more that “no
household where there are childen is complete
without St.Nicholas.” J. T. Trowbridge, Noah
. Brooks, Charles Dudley Warner, and many
well known writers are to contribute during the
coming year. One cannot put the spirit-of St.-
Nicholas into a prospectus. but the publishers
are glad to send a full announcement of the
features of 1891 and a sample copy to the ad-
dress of any person mentioning this notice.
The magazine costs $3 a year. Address, The

A GREAT AMERICAN MAGAZIN B-
THE succnss on "THE CENTURY” AND i'rs PLANS
FOR 1891.
The Century Magazine is now so well known
that to tell of its past success seems almost an
old story. The New York Tribune has said
that it and its companion, St.Nieholas for
Young Folks, issued by the same house, “are
read by every one person in thirty of the coun-
try’s population,”— and large editions of both
are sent beyond the seas. It is an interesting
fact that a few years ago it was found that
seven thousand copies of the Century went to
Scotland,—quite a respectable edition in itself.
The question in England is no longer “Who
reads an American book ‘3” hilt “Who does not
see the American magazines '2”
A few years ago the Century about doubled
its circulation with the famous War Papers, by
General Grant and others. adding many more
readers later with the Lincoln History and
Kennan’s thrilling articles on the Siberian
bExile System. One great feature of 1891 is to
o .
“ran GOLD HUNTERS or CALIFORNIA,”
describing that remarkable movement to the
gold fields in ’49, in a series of richly illustra.
ted articles written by survivors, including the
narratives of men who went to California by
the different routes, accounts of the gold dis-
coveries, life in the mines, the work of" the vig-
ilance committees (by the chairman of the
committees) etc., etc. General Fremont’s last
writing was done for this series. In Novem-
ber appears the opening article, “The First
Emigrant Train to California,”—crossing the
Rockies in 1811,——by General Bidweli.api-
oneenof pioneers. Thousands of American
families who had some relative or friend
among“the Argonauts of ’49” will be inter-
ested in these papers.
MANY 01an GOOD THINGS ABE COMING-
the narrative of an American’s travels through
that unknown land Thibet (for 700 miles over
ground never before trod by a white man); the
experiences of Escaping War Prisoners; Amer-
ican newspapers des:ribed by well kndwn
journalists ; accounts of the great Indian
Fighters, Custer and others; personal anec-
dotes of Lincoln, by his private secretaries ;

gleston, with a wonderfully rich programme of
novelettes and stories by most of the leading
Writers, etc. -
It is also announced that the Century has
purchased the right to print, before its appear-
ance in France or any other country, extracts
from advance sheets of the famous Talleyrand
Memoirs, which have been secretly preserved
for half a century—to be first given to the
through the pages of an Amer-
ican magazine. All Europe is eagerly await.
