Voters are Thinking.
The campaign may be quiet and ab-
normally unexciting, but it is not sur-
prising that it should be so. People
are thinking insteadof shouting, and
partisanship is rising above the level of
dirty personalities and beginning to
3.; understand that abuse is not dignified
,1 nor howling more emphatic than de-
bate, in which each sidefiagrees to treat
its rivals as decent citizens and possi-
ble gentlemen.
Mr. Cleveland’s Speech.
This is what the independent but al-
ways clearly democratic New York Her-
ald has to say of Mr. Cleveland’s New
York speech :—
" It is disappointing to find a hickory
headed, practical man like Mr. Cleve-
land complaining in the presence of a
large audience that his opponents are
preparing to buy votes, Mr. Cleveland,
,‘v like his opponent, Mr. Harrison, must
be well aware of the fact that the man-
agers of both parties are getting ready
to gather in every voter who can be
bought, bullied or wheedled.
What is the use of making any pre-'
tense about it ? Mere rhetoric deceives
4 no one, whether it comes from Mr.
Cleveland or from Mr. Harrison. Both
candidates understand how the actual
work of gathering floating votes is pros-
ecuted. It is mere weakness to imagine
that any American citizen of average
”common sense does not know that nei-
. ther Mr. Cleveland nor Mr. Harrison
would interfere with the work of vote
" buying unless it actually happened in
their presence. And yet both men have
filled the Presidential chair with singu-
lar ability and with equal official integ-
rity. ,
So far the fact that has been most
distinctly established in the Presiden-
tial canvass is that the republican party
has managed to raise a larger campaign
fund than the democratic party. There
' is nothing surprising or sensational
about that.
situation. If the democrats could raise
an equal amount they would do it and
would probably spend it in the same
way. Mr. Cleveland would not seri-
ously deny this in private. His Tues-
, day night lamentation of the depravity
of his opponents has not the ring of
, gincerity. It is not blunt, square and
sturdy.
It is rather demoralizing to have to
speak like this, but the Herald has no
axes to grind, and, after all, it is better
77’ to tell the ugly truth.

. Democratic Parade.
The Democrats took their tornlat
giving us something in the way of pa-
rades last night. Between 7.00 and 800
men marched through the principal
streets of South N orwalk and the Bor-
ough, to the music of brass bands and
drum corps.
The inclement weather prevented
many who intended to parade from de-
ing so, Bridgeport and Port Chester
people failing to put in an appearance.
The illuminations along the line of
march were many aid very handsome,
Mayor elect Lockwood’s, T. S. Vander-
hoef’s, Jas. W. Hyatt’s, Dr. W. J.
Tracy’s and Mrs. M. E. Smith’s houses
being among the finest. The companies
halted at the Armory for supper at
11.15 o’clock. .After the refreshments
had been served Heine’s band rendered
several very fine selections, being com-
‘pelled to respond to several encores.
The success of the entire affair is due
to the ‘u‘ntiring efforts of the twelve
young men who composed the commit-
tee of arrangements, and, considering
the fact that it was the first experience
these gentlemen have had in matters of
this kind, they conducted the whole
busmess with a smoothness and busi-.
ness like tact that would have done
credit to older heads.
Officers Discharged.
Orders have been issued by the adju-
tant-general that the following officers

Labor and Wages.
The Herald has no candidate for the
Presidency, but the Herald can speak
the truth.
If any man doubtsthat English cheap
labor is“ about ti; flood America listen
:{te‘gzimmnlemn-words of the Liverpool
ftflneady Saltaire, that once proud
gmodel of an English industrial com-
.;mnni_ty is as good as gone. The Welsh
tin plate industry is ruined, and the
plush trade of Huddersfield is about to
bernansferred bodily across the Atlan-
tic‘to .a point within the tariff wall.
The cotton trade of Lancashire is so
depressed that no one knows what may
.comenext, and consequently all brisk
enterprise is strangled and a general
feeling of apprehension prevails as re-
gards what the morrow may bring
forth. The latest evidence of the in-
jury done to British trade by the Mc-
Kinley tarifl‘ is afforded by the balance
sheet of the steel company of Scotland,
which shows a balance on the wrong
side of no less than £13,000."
The GAZETTE agrees with the Herald.
Congress should put a high protective
tariff on European cheap labor.

Not Gambling of Late.
When George Ford, the advertising
solicitor for the Union left town a week
ago and acknowledged himself to be an
embezzler, itwas taken for granted that
he lost the money gambling. says the
Bridgeport Post. From the most reli-
able source it was ascertained that Mr.
Ford has not been gambling for many
months. Said an intimate acquaintance
of Mr. Ford. “ It is not true that Mr.
Ford lost heavily at the gaming table.
It is at least six months since he took
part in the games or played the races.
He has been in financial straits for at
least four months, and I think it was
because he had large doctor bills to pay.
Only a month ago I saw him borrow
$125 from Sam Merritt in order to make
good money belonging to the paper he
represented. He sai then that was
the extent of his shortage.”
Samuel Merritt, when seen, declared
Ford had not to his knowledge gam-
bled money lately. He said it was true
he had let Mr. Ford have $125 and ad-
ded : “ If, as I have been informed, he
needed it because of his wife’s illness, I
.am glad he has got it and I don’t care
whether he ever pays me back or not.
.He is unfortunate." Sam’s big heart is
known to many an unlucky gambler
whom he has assisted in various ways.
Looking Up Barnum’s Will.
'It is_reported that a New York law-
fer is in Bridgeport examining minute-
y every line of_ the Barnum will with a
view to instituting a suit for some rela-
tives of thelate P. T. Barnum who were
left unprovided for. Where the legal
gentleman is or who he represents can
“not be ascertained.
Within the past week Judge Beards-
ley of the probate court was called up-
on and requested to show the will of the
late P. ‘T. Barnum. The caller exam-
ined the will and called the attention of
the Judge to some conflicting bequests
'in the‘mll. .
Judge Beardsley said yesterday he
thought he belonged in Bridgeport. He
referred him to Attorney Curtis Thomp-
son, who drew the will. Upon inquiry
‘ the latter gentleman said that the stran-
.ger did not call upon him. It cannot
be learned definitely whether the re-
port'was well founded or not. The late
Mr. Barnum left an estate of about $5,-
000,000-and provided legally for all his
heirs. ' If a suit is to be instituted it is
in all probability- by = some unknown
"provision-that in the event of any ofthe

Scarlet Fever.
The scarlet fever epidemic is still
raging in Guilford. New cases are re-
ported every day and it is estimated
there are over forty cases in the care
of the doctors. The schools are still
closed and the houses where the child-
ren are sick have been quarantined
and every precaution is being taken to
prevent a spread of the dread disease.
Roads Full of Stones-
A physician who probably drives
more miles over Norwalk roads than
any man in town informs us that he
has never known them so full of lose
rolling stones. The roads otherwise
are in a passahly decent condition but
the enormous quantities of lose stones
which fill them in all sections of the
town, render them not only disgrace-
ful to us as a town but actually dan-
gerous to drive over. A word to the
wise, etc.

The Roasting Turkeys.
The turkeys in the barn-yards and
on the fences and branches of trees by
the roadside appear to be getting
ready for Thanksgiving. They look
fat and happy, as well-fed Connecticut
turkeys ought to look. They seem
hardly to be aware of the fate which
doubtless is in store for them. The
thirty-five pounder that is to grace the
table of the White House has not been
selected yet, but he is probably roost-
ing high and waiting _ for maws presi-
dential.

Razed the Banner.
Some villain or other cut the rope
from which was suspended the Prohi-
bition banner on Main street, last
night, letting the banner fall into the
street. It was done the police say,
shortly after one o’clock. Whoever
did it must have climbed from an ad-
joining roof up on the roof of the
building occupied by George Ray-
mond as furniture warerooms, as it
was at that point where the rope was
cut, the other end of the rope'being
attached to a tree on the'opposite side
of the street, from which the rope now
dangles. The banner was
of by the owners. ‘ -

Death of Mrs. Kellogg.
Jane Elizabeth Kellogg, mother of
Clara Louise Kellogg, the Opera
singer, died Tuesday evening of heart
failure. She was 74 years old, and
was born in Birmingham, Conn. 11
the theatrical and musical world, Mrs.
Kellogg was scarcely less well known
than her daughter. She accompanied
the prima donna. on all her tours, ar-
ranged terms with managers. gave in-
struction to press agents and costum-
ers, and talked to newspaper men.
Mrs. Kellogg was an amateur painter
of no ordinary ability. Her husband,
who survives her, has always devoted
his attention to scientific research, and
is the author of anumber of inven-
ions.

Unwarranted Carelessness.
Last evening Albertine, the little
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Math-
eis, sat in the window at the American
House watching the parade as it passed
up Main street. Red fire, rockets and
Roman candles were being exploded
from the opposite side of the street,
when suddenly the little girl cried out
“Oh mamma l” and fell over backward
to the floor. When she was picked up
her face was covered with blood. On
examination it was found that she had
been struck squarely between the eyes
with a ball from a Roman candle, the
flesh above her nose being cut for an
inch or more. The wound bled pro-
fusely and while it is a severe one it is
not believed to be of a serious nature.

Lieutenant Burns Resigns.
Lieutenant Owen Burns of the Fourth
Regiment Signal corps, has placed his
resignation in the hands of Colonel
Frost, to take effect the first of next
month. Business matters have caused
Lieutenant Burns to sever his connec-
tions with the militia after 12 years of
faithful service.
Who his successor will be it is at this
time rather difficult to say. The corps
when the placed Lieutenant Burns in
comman established a precedent of
raising one of their own number in line
of promotion to the position. Wheth-
er that rule will be continued remains
to be seen. There will surely be many
aspirants for the honor from the out-
side, and it is just possible that one of
them will be the lucky one.

R. G. Mitchell, the hatter, illumi-
nated his store. windows last night at
an unlocked for expense. Among
other things used were two Chinese
lanterns lighted with candles. He
had closed up his store about 9 o’clock.
His clerk Albert Bates stood ashort
distance away when his attentio‘i‘vwas
attracted to a fire in one of the win-
dows, and hurrying to the store he
found that one of the lanterns had
dropped down into a display of caps
and set them on fire. He managed to
extinguish the flames before damage
in excess of $25 had been done. But
for Mr. Bates’ prompt action the
whole building would perhaps have
been burned up as it is a wooden one.
