Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. C , Nov. 21, 1890.
ED. GAzs'r'rnz—The national capital is
now, and will be for a long time to come,
the centre of political activity, and Wash-
' inglon news promises to be more important
and interesting this winter than at any time
since the war. In a little more than a week
the secbnd and final session of the Fifty-
ffrst Congress will convene, and already a
majority of its members are busily engaged
in conferring and determining what is best
to be done with the various important ques-
tions. which are to come before them, and
also in making political plans for the future.
Every republican is deeply interested in
what will be done at this session of Con-
gress, for its action or non—action will, to a
great extent, determine which of the great
political parties of the country will enter
the national contest two years hence with
the greatest prOSpect of success. It will
have to decide whether the federal election
hill is to become a law or not; it will be
called upon to say whether the currency of
the country shall be largely increased
through the free coinage of silver, as the
silver men have fully determined to bring
that subject up again; it will have to make
the congressional apportionment, made
necessary by the increase in population
shown by the eleventh census; it will have
to decide whether any modifications are
necessary in the new tariflr law; it will, in
all probability, be called upon for some
additional reciprocity legislation in order to
give the country the greatest possible bene-
fit therefrom; and these are only a few of
the interesting questions that will be brought
before the republican majority in the pres-
ent Congress for adjustment, and what is
left unsettled at the expiration of the Fifty-
iirst Congress is certain to remain in that
condition until the next President, and the
members of the House of Representatives of
the Fifty-third Congress are elected.
Another thing, which will add much
interest to the Washington political news of
this winter, is the cat and dog scramble that
has begun among the democrats over the
Speakership and the other edicers of the
next House of Representatives. .This fight
will be a long and bitter one, and it will
bring out in a strong light all of the runner-
ous factions, which compose the nondescript
body commonly knuwn as the democratic
party, and it will man-e wounds that the
most skillful surgery cannot heal before
1892. There are already about 20 candi-
dates in the field, and about one-third of
them are claiming that they will be actively
supported by that great democratic mogul,
tax—President Cleveland. He cannot support
them all, and when it is known, as it is cer-
tain to be, whether formally announced or
not, which of them he - really favors, look
out for a free fight of the most bitter kind,
and when the fighting begins. keep your eye
on the Hill or anti-Clevelanddemocrats,
for every one of them is- previded with a
weapon that is as dangerous ’politically as
the daggers wielded bv‘ the members of the
- infamous Mafiaf are physically, and they
will use them for all they are worth. This
Speakership contest will also practically
decide the head of the next national (lemo—
cratic ticket, and the moves and counter-
moves that will be made cannot fail to be
intensely interesting.
Still another source of interest will be the
visits of the prominent republicans of the»
country, who will come here to confer with
members of Congress and the administration
for the purpose of clearly mapping out the
next Presidential campaign and reaching
a conclusion as to who will be the best man
to lead the republican party to victory.
The fact is now generally recognized by all
shrewd republicans that it is not to be a
question of personal preferences, but of who
will receive the votes of the entire republi-
can party. Only such a man can win, and
when the best informed men of the party
have decided upon the man it is expected
that he will be nominated by acclamation.
Secretary Windorn says that he cannot
understand how intelligent people can make
such wild statementsabout the condition of
the national treasury as have been recently’
appearing in papers of democratic proclivi-
lies. “I have,” said the secretary, “paid
out more than $100,000,000 for bonds dur.
ing the past year, and there is cash on hand
now to meet any contingency that may arise,
more than $32,000,000, and the receipts of
the government will constantly add to this
surplus.” The annual report of the Treas-
urer of the United States, just made public,
bears out the statement of Secretary Win-
dom that our finances are in a healthy con-
dition. x. x. x.

Y. M. C. A. Notes.
Everyone who expects to attend the Yale
College Glee club concert in the Opera
House next week should bear in mind that
the reserved seats go on sale Saturday
morning of this week at 9 o’clock, and
tickets can be had at either Pinueo’s book
store, Norwalk, or Plaisted’s drug store,
South Norwalk. This concert will with-
out doubt be one of the best in the associa-
tion’s course, and no lover of fine music
should fail to attend it. Tickets for this
concert alone are fifty cents, which in-
cludes a reserved seat, but if any wish
them for the remainder of the course they
can be had 10:31.20. , _ '
The Ladies'Au'xiliary held their regu-
lar monthly meeting Tuesday afternoon
at which arrangements were made for the
holding of the annual New Year's recep-
tion on New Years day.
The Secret Ballot Law. . '
Mr. Editor:—,-Some two months after the
secret ballet ,law. was enacted, I stated
through the columns of the GAzurrn it was
the most disgraceful law that was ever enact-
ed, and gave many reasons in full. Also,
that if Gov. Bulkeley wanted to immortal--
ize himself he would convene the legisla-
ture and recommend its repeal. It has been
tried and my predictions are more than ‘ver-
ified. As the case now stands we do not
know whether there is an oflicer in Connec-
ticut legally elected, who was voted for at
the late election. The democratic State
officers are elected according to the returns,
but the republicans claim that they threw
out legal votes to attain the result. What
the end will be, time will tell. I warned
the politicians then that they were treading
on dangerous grounds when they enacted
the law to abridge the rights of suffrage.
The law they had repealed had stood the
test of near a half century and gave univer-
sal satisfaction excepting to a few politic—
ians, who thought the poor and illiterate
should not be their equal. They said that
the voters of the State could be bought and
sold like any other merchandize. That was
the pretext for the repeal of the old law.
There is not a town in this State and very
few of the cities,‘if any, where the leaders
of each party do not know every legal voter
and generally how they vote, therefore
there is little possibility for illegal votes
being cast. I want the politicians to un—
derstand that the voters of Connecticut read
the papers and are generally well posted.
A few may be like young robbins, with
their mouths open ready to swallow any
new thing the politicians give them. ’ I be
lieve if either the democrats or republicans
should show up its iniquity and advocate its
repeal they would sweep the state. I
would like to give my views in full, but that
would take too much of your space.

En. GAZETTE :—I see our borough
authorities have “dropped? the widening
of Wall street and are going ahead with
the iniquitous East avenue scheme. I
venture the assertion that not one in ten
of either the residents on East avenue or
the taxpayers of this borough approves of
the disgraceful waste of the public money
in the so-callcd improvement of East
avenue. The cutting away of the ancient
trees and grades there was so unnecessary
as to seem brutal if not criminal, while
the proposed widening of Wall street
would have benefitted and pleased about
every resident and property holder in the
borough. When, oil. when will we poor,
robbed and outraged borough taxpayers
see an end of such outrages? Vixnirx.
Prof. J). M. Bristol’s Wonderful Equines.
Prof. D. M. Bristol will exhibit his school
nics in Music Hall next Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings and at a matinee
to be given on Wednesday afternoon.
Since the Professor’s last visit to this sec-
tion many new features have been added
to his then almost perfect programme, and
henow claims to give the best entertain—
ment of the kind ever presented to the
public. As he was never yet known to
break faith with the public, his. word
«should be taken in this instance. His agent
informs us that all the old favorites have
been retained and desires us . to contradict
the report that the exceedingly funny
mule, Denver. is dead. He is still alive—
very much so-aud appears at every per-
formance. He certainly is a wonderful an-
imal, and if a brute can think and reason
Denver can. We cannot too highly rec-
ommend this entertainment to our amuse—
ment goers and feel sure that all who go
will be more than pleased. We bespeak
for Prof. Bristol crowded house: during
his stay in So. Norwalk.

The fact that mayor Hugh Grant and
autocrat Ward McAllister have gone hunt-
ing and fishing together is causing some
comment because the latter is in the “so-
ciety swim" while the former is not. But
there is a bond of sympathy between
them, nevertheless. Neither one can
write decent Eugllsh.-—Ansom‘a Sentinel.

GIRLS.
Victor Hugo calls this "the woman’s centu-
v.” and he might have ‘added that it is the
cfiildren’s century as well, for never before in
rho 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 tit-Nicholas
Magazine seventeen years ago literature and
children’s magazines were almost contradic-
tory terms, but. the new eriodical started out
with the idea that nothing Was too goodfor
children; the result has been :1 Juvenile maga-
zine genuine with ‘conseienuous purpos'e,_.the
greatest writers contributing to it, With the
best artists and engravcrs helping to beautify ‘
it,—'and everything tuned to the key-note of
youth. . fl
' It has been the special aim of Shhrcholas to
supplant unhealthy literature 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?7 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 woken them to a closer
observation of the best thing about them.
In the seventeen years of its life St.Nicbolas
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 magazme.
The year 1891 will prove one more that ”D9
household where there are ohilden is complete
without St.Nicbolas.” 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 ol‘St,-‘
Nicholas into a prospectus. but the publishers
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 GB EAT AMERICAN MAGAZINE.
'1‘ success or “THE CENTURY" AND xrs 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.Nicbolas 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,—quile a respectable edition in itself.
The question in England is no louger“Who
reads an American book ‘3” but "Who does not
see the American magazines '3”
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
Exile System. One great feature of 1891 is to
be
“run GOLD nos'rnns or cxmr'oumx,"
describing that remarkable movement to the
gold fields in ’40, in a series of richly illustra‘
ted articles written by survivors. including the
narratives of men who want to California by
the different routes, accounts of the gold dis-
coveries. life 111 the mines, the Work of the vig-
ilance committees (by the chairman of the
committees) etc., etc. General Fremont’e last
writing was done for this series. In Novem-
ber appears the opening article, “The First
Emigrant Train to California,”-'crossing the
