After five Grip
Hood’s Sarsaparilla Restored
Health and Strengt
“Last winter I had the Grip and was quite
sick. After I began to get better, being weak
and run down, I concluded to try Hood’s Sarsa-
parilla, seeingt it recommended so highly. _I
,must:ay that was more than pleased With it.
I recovered my health completely iua short
time and think
I Am in Better Health
than before I was sick. I feel sure that this is
due to Hood’s Sarsaparilla. In the package of
Sarsaparilla when I opened it I found a. sample
box of Hood’s Pills. I was surprised and de-
lighted to find how well they agreed with me.

two such good preparations as Hood’s Sara..-

Buying Votes.
If one-half the charges made in Dem-
ocratic papers of the wholesale buying
up of Democratic voters all over the
country be true, what a set of vena
rascals the voters aforesaid must be
It strikes the GAZETTE that this charge
cf buying voters is a good bit over-
done.
It is for Labor’s interest.
Ex-Senator GEORGE F. EDMUNDS adds
the weight of his high ability and long
-experience in statecraft to the side of
' protection in the pending contest. The
interview with him printed in Satur-
day’s New York Press shows him to be
in cordial agreement with the Republi-
can position on the great issues in-
volved. He believes that this country
should supply its own wants so far as
nature will permit, from within itself
and have its “ necessaries and luxuries
produced or manufactured by Ameri-
can workingmen. Then,” declares Mr.
EDMUNDS, “ we can give employment to
every man in the United States.” It
has in view the interests of labor .be-
fore all else. '

The Epidemic of Fires.
Although the great Milwaukee con-
flagation and the less important fires of
the pass week may not be ascribable
to natural causes, the extent of their
ravages was greatly increased by the
wind and weather. In times of drought
the outbreak of an ordinary fire In a
town of any size is likely to be more
serious than in a wet period. Especially
is this likely to be the case if the fire
originates during the passage of a gale.
As the drought which has been so
wide-spread over the country has not
yet been generally broken and the
stormy season is opening there is
reason for the exercise of extraordi-
nary vigilunce by all concerned in
preventing destructive fires. This
caution is particularly needed by all
householders, now that the approach
of winter makes it necessary to light
the furnaces.

The Two Minute Trotter.
'Vhen Secretary Tracy predicted a
couple of years ago that the time would
come when a home would trot a milein
two minutes he Was regarded by many
experts as a dreamer, and even so high
an authority as Mr. Robert Bonner
said that he Would give five thousand
dollars to see a mile trotted in two min-
utes and, five Seconds.
Since that time the actual record has
been reduced—with the advantage of
the bicycle sulky, it is true—from 2:08i,—‘
to 2:04, and now comes Mr. J. Malcolm
Forbes, the owner of Nancy Hanks,
with the announcement that he believes
the two minute trotter will be a reality
in the near future, and he offers six
thousand dollars to be divided between
the owner and the driver of the horse
that first achieves the distinction.
Evidently the two minute trotter
does not seem so visionary as it did
even six months ago.

New Voters.
The “making board” closed up its
work last evening at the Town Cler'k’s
office. So far as can be determined,
neither party has any very decided ad-
vantage over the other, in the party
complexion of the new voters.
Many of these young men just made
voters and inspired by an henest and
sincerepatriotism as to their choice of
leaders, must find it. a difficult task to
H
roach safe ground for their inexperix
enced feet. They saw at Minneapolis
the reputed bosses of the Republican
organization declaring w1th one naisy
but harmonious voice that Harrison
could not possiblybe elected, and they
saw on even larger and more confident
array of practical politicians working
. with all their might to prevent the nom-
J
ination of Cleveland on the ground that
4 he could not so much as carry his own
State. Now they see Mr. Platt on one
stump acknowledging his error, and
Messrs. Hill and German on other
stumps crying peccavi with tempestu-
ous vengeance.
If all these professional wiseacres and
leaders were fools in J une, according
to their own confessions in October,
then whose authority can be accepted
at any fine, and whoseforecast is worth
the wind first blows it to our ears ? Is
not the man who was mistaken four
months ago just as likely to be mistak-
en now ? And will the beginner in pol-
itics—the youth with his first party al-
legiance to bestow—be wise if he gives
a second thought to anything the noisy.
political bosses may say ?
Possibilities of the Battle.
If Cleveland shall carry all the
states which voted for him in 1888,
with New York and Indiana added, he
would receive 226 Electoral votes, or
3 more than a majority.
If Cleveland shall carry New York and
Indiana, with all the other states which
voted for him in 1888 excepting West
Virginia. he would receive 220 Elec-
toral votes, or 3 short of an election.
If Cleveland shall receive 220 Elec-
toral votes, there would be no election
by the people, as it is admitted that
Weaver will carry 4 Electors in Min-
nesota, 3 in Nevada and 4 in South
Dakota.
This would leave Harrison with 213
votes, or 10 short of an Ielection, and
the contest would be transferred to the
House, where Cleveland would un-
doubtedly have the advantage.
While making calculations for a close
contest and various margins in the
Electoral College, it should not be for-
gotten that nearly one-half ofall the
States of the Union present more or
less elements of doubt as to their vote.
and as doubtful states are likely to
drift strongly in one direction, the
probabilities are that there will be no
close vote either by the people or in
the Electoral College.
There will not be a true presentation
of the popular vote between Cleveland
and Harrison in the election returns.
In more than a dozen states either the
Democrats or the Republicans will
vote the Electoral ticket of the Peo-
ple’s party. Harrison will receive'
next to no votes at all in some of the
Southern states, and Cleveland will
share the same fate in some of the
Western states. Each will lose from
one to three hundred thousand votes
in that way.
Never in any national contest of the
last half century were there such
strange possibilities as are presented
in the great battle of 1892.
Not a Beggar.
The Union soldier when he enlisted
entered into a contract to which the
United States was the party of the first
part.
By faithful service the soldier fulfill-
ed his part of the contract. that he or-
pects the Government to fulfill its part
is not unnatural nor surprising, nor un-
worthy of him.
The Government agreed to pay him a
stated amount each month and to make
him certain allowances in the way of
clothing. rations etc. It also agreed
that if he was wounded or crippled, or
through illness or hardship became dis-
abled. a pension should be paid him ; if
he was killed the pension should go to
his widow, children. or other heirs.
Even if there had been no law to this
effect, the. gratitude of the Republic
preserved by his courage and devotion
would have provided and cared for him
and his.
That his application or the applies.
lion of his widow or children for the
relief provided by law and contempla-
ted in the contract should be regarded
as offensive or in any other light than
right and proper is incredible. That he
should be thought to have lowered
himself to the level of a pauper because
he asks for his pension is almost incon-
ceivable.
'l'he war service itself was hard and
dangerous: the wounds and diseasesin-
curred involved pain and suffering; the
poor fellow who must face the world
crippled bjr'i .. consciousness that he is
unable to co pe with it endures a pecu-
liar hardship; but the deepest wound
is received when he is treated as an im-
portunate beggar because he has been
compelled to ask what is due' him.
It is for these reasons that the great
body of Union soldiers charge that Mr.
Cleveland in his veto messages, assum-
ed atone which indicated that he re-
garded the old soldier as a beggar and
a fraud whom he was entitled to snub
and insult. with his gibes of mistaken
wit and, expressions of unfeeling and
unpatriotic appreciation of the supreme
service and sacrifice for the nation’s
life, the old soldier has made.

Struck by a. Locomotive.
A driver in the employ of‘Staples &
Raymond, of Westport, drove over
Monday morning to the Danbury & Nor-
walk railroad freight house for goods
consigned to the above firm. He had
a. double team on which there had been
loaded some lumber. He drove up to
a car to load some barrels of cement
from the some. Just then the loco-’
motive of the l1:30 freight, which was
doing some sw1tching in the yard came
along, the locomotive striking the lum-
ber turning the wagon over and throw-
ing the driver from his seat. The
driver held on to the lines and suc-
ceeded in stopping the horses.- He es-
caped injury. The only damage done
was the breaking of the wagon reach.
This was repaired and the driverxe-
turned to his home in Westport where
he is now probably telllng the people
of that place of his narrow escape.
Pears’
Soap
Pretty boxes and odors
are used to sell such
soaps as no one would
touch if he saw them un-
disguised. Beware of a
soap that depends on
something outside of it.
Pears’, the finest soap
in the world is scented or
not, as you Wish; and the
money is in'the merchan-
dise, not in the box.
All sorts of stores sell
it, cspecrally drugglsts;
all sorts of people are
usmg it.
Not For Sale.
Don’t be startled at the. statement,
but Marketman William Wardwell’s
horse ran away Monday. The de-
livery clerk went into Dr. Baxter’s, on
East avenue, leaving the horse un-
hitched. During the clerk’s absence
the animal slowly walked off towards
the market, its pace bein increased to a.
run at the top of the hi 1 by someone
yelling “whoa” in a loud voice, and
down the hill he came as if shot from a
catapult. He was stopped in his mad
flight at the foot of the hill by a lager
beer wagon which stood across the
street and barred his further progress.
He wasthen taken in hand by Henry
Degan, who leisurely walked him back
to the market. No damage done. You
cannot buy the horse any cheaper to-
day than you could have done last
week. In fact heis not for sale.
