“Truth above all things.”
FRIDAY, APRIL 22,1392.
Fnfl red at the Post Ofiice as a Newspap
important if True.
A Commercial Cable dospatch from'
Amsterdam this morning, states that
it is rumored that the island Republic
of San Domingo is to be sold to a pri-
vate company in the United States for
$3,500,000. This, if true, is most im-
portant information and there is noth-
ing in the situation of that beautiful
and luxuriant island to make the state-
ment improbable. The statement will
be of exceeding personal interest to 4
- ..our honored. fellow townsman. ‘Mr,’
,1._Davis Hatch, who resided-so long in
-- that tropical. country and who suffered
o greatly in person and fortune by the
unhappy revolutionary conditions ex-
isting there at the time.

Plucky Effie Stauffer.
The new town on the Sisseton reser-
vation is to be called Efiington in honor
of the plucky young woman, Miss Effie
Staufi'er, who was first upon the site
and first to file a claim. Yet it is
doubtful if, with all the rivalries and:
jealousies and hot-headed controver-
sies that characterize the opening of a
reservation to settlement, there would
have been a man in the whole outfit
mean enough to have disputed Miss
Effie’s choice even if she had brought
up the rear instead of leading the pro-
cession.
It was Effie Staufi'er who rode forty-
five miles in one day alone and unat-
tended, slept in a tent that night, rode
twenty-five miles the next day, and
made her location just where she
wanted it. That’s a type of American
girl to be proud of. In old times she
would have been canonized and wor-
shiped as a saint. As it is, she will
probably be courted and married, but
it is safe to say that she will always be
the head of the family. '

A Plea for Justice.
The Bridgeport Farmer but voices
the general sentiment, of not only the
whole newspaper press but of every
infill-1:513 man in the nation, in the fol-
lowing just and sensible reference to
‘ the Senate’s action in relation to its
executive clerk. The opinion is uni-
versal that the small majority of the
Senate that committed that body to
Mr. Young’s removal, made a mess of
it, and if there is any evidence to justi-
fy the extraordinary proceeding it
'should be made public. The Farmer
'says: .
“If the Senators to whom ex-clerk
James R. Young appeals to waive their
privilege of immunity for words spoken
in debate and assume legal respons1-
bility for the charges upon which they
voted to dismiss him, refuse his chal-
lenge they will not only confess them-
selves cowards but virtually admit that
the charges they brought against him
are baseless. Young has the moral
right. and ought to have the legal one,
to trv the issue in a court; of justice.
That" is what he asks his accusers to
give him by coming out from behind
their shield of privilege and meeting
him face to face beforea jury Of.hlS
and their countrymen. The dismissal
of a clerk is in itself.a small matter, but
that the American Senate should brand
itself as composed of cowards is a mat-
ter that touches the honor of the na-
tion. ”
Teacher and Pupils Saw Snakes.
Teacher and scholars of the Chest-
nut Hill school at Montville, New Lon-
don county, saw snakes the other day
and have not yet recovered from the
shock. School opened for the spring
term, and all went well till a little girl
screamed and. rushed out of the room.
She had seen a snake peeping out of
the plastering near the teacher’s desk.
Half an hour later a small boy
saw. a snake crawl out of a hole
near the chimney, and killed it with
a slate frame. It was warm weath-
er, and pretty soon a half awakened
reptile, five feet loug,tumbled out from
a hole in the ceiling and landed with a
great thump just in front of the recita-
tion seats. The teacher stood on top
of her desk till the big boys had settled
his account. Then snakes began to
tumble down by twos and threes,
bigger, blacker and uglier than ever,
and the whole school, big boys and all
took to flight.
' The teacher refuses to enter the
building again, and the Chestnut Hill
school term is adjourned without date,
or at least so saysa telegraphic dispatch
to the New York Press. New here is a
grand opportunity for our Norwalk
snake-catching cats. Mrs. Nash’s cat
would clear that school house in about
fifteen minutes.
Interesting Romance.
1 The N. Y. Times has a Hartford cor-
} respondent who is a genius as a roman-
‘ cer. If he keeps on at his present gait,
‘ he is sure, to distance Dickens, Sir Wale
i ter Scott or DeFoc. This is a part of
, his latest in the line of neWSpaper in-
l
vention :

tional republican committee, Samuel
Fessenden of Stamford, is the Blame

ring the governorship. In that case Mr.
Fessenden was to be nominated this
year and contest with Gen. Hawle for
the United States senatorship in anu-
ary.”
It is safe to say, that whatever may
be the hopes or ambitions of Governor
Bulkeley or Congressman Russell, for
the coming U. S. Senatorship, Mr.Fes-
senden is not in it. That he is now, or
has been in any ‘sense a candidate for
Governor is equally false and absurd.
Mr. Fessenden is an earnest, zealous
Republican, born in Maine and joyful-
ly adopted by Connecticut, and is nat-
urally a strong admirer of Mr. Blaine,
but he isn’t destitute of a level head.
NO Gubernatorial or Senatorial bee is'
buzzing in his bonnet, while standing
at the head of the procession ofiFair-
field county lawyers and earning more
money in'his‘profession, than any other
one of them. At present Mr. Fessen-
den is very wisely thinking far more
about deserved eminence at the bar
and making sensible provision for him-
self and family, and deems his profes-
sional business more honorable and
profitable than political oflice.
THE‘ SITUATION IN AFRICA.
Threatened Uprising Against the British
, in Upper Guinea.
LONDON, April w.—Advices from Lagos,
capital of the British colony Of that name
on the slave coast of west Africa, report a
serious state of affairs there. For thirty
years past the trade of Lagos to and from
the interior of Africa has been interrupted
and in many instances stoppa by the king
or “awujali” of J ebu, one of the interior
countries of the colony of Lagos.
The Jebu tribe hold a vere important
geographical position, their country form-
ing a frontier along the lagoon giving access
to the port of Lagos. The main roads from
a very large portion of the rich interland
of Yoruba pass through J ebu, and the king
levied heavy tolls upon all produce passing
through his country, and, moreover, com-
pelled the Yorubas to sell to him, thus act-
ing as middleman to the traders of Lagos.
The same policy was adopted in regard to
goods passing from Lagos to Yoruba. A
similar policy was followed by the Abeoku-
tans, who represented the Egba race, in the
western portion of Yoruba, the road from
which lies through their large capital, Abeo-
kuta. Friendly negotiations to settle the
difficulty resulted in nothing. A short time
ago Captain Denton, acting governor of
Lagos, was insulted while Visiting Jebu on
,a friendly mission, and the trade routes
were closed entirely.
This resulted in energetic action on the
part of the British, and the king of Jebu
was forced to sign a. treaty which provided
that in return for the annual payment of
£500 the king of J ebu should keep the roads
and rivers of his country free to all persons
who desired to pass through J ebu either
from the interior to Lagos or from Lagos to
the interior. The treaty also provided that
no tolls, fees or imposts should be levied
upon trade.
It now appears that the Jebus, who are
acting in concert with the Egbas, have
broken the treaty, and their combined
forces threaten to attack Lagos and the
British settlements on the gold coast.
Trade is completely suspended and there
is considerable uneasiness in Lagos.
The nativ’es on the gold coast are quiet.
A native force commanded by British offi—
cers has been dispatched to the assistance
of Lagos. What with the troubles betWeen
France and Dahomey, and the now threat-
ened rising against the British, the outlook
in Upper Guinea is not very promising.
Vaughn’s Dire Prediction.
NEW HAVEN, April 22,—Weather Prophet
Vaughn, of Norwalk, who predicted the
great March blizzard and various other
storms and cyclones with more or less suc-
cess, says that early on Thursday morning,
May 5, a terrible storm will appear in the Pa.-
cific ocean in north latitude 25.30, longitude
71 west of Washington, and sweep eastward
with wonderful impetuosity. It will strike
the Pacific coast, he says, with its center in
Lower California and cross the continent at
terrific speed. The whole country between
St. Paul and St. Louis will be in its line of
march. The storm, Prophet Vaughn adds,
will sweep down upon New York and New
Jersey coast on or before May 12.
