PRICE TWO CENTS. St. Mary’s Schoolship. The schoolship St. Mary’s has be- come one of the cherished institutions of New York, says the Recorder. Now that there is a promise of the revival of our mercantile marine and a prospect that the saucy Stars and Stripes may fly once more at the monkey gaffe of American clippers as well as at the flag- st-afl's of great Atlantic liners, every en'- couragement should be given to the ed- ucation of young New Yorkers with a view to qualifying them as officers. The St. Mary’s has turned out some of the smartest young officers that ever paced a quarter-deck or stood a watch on the bridge of a steamship.~ No cheese-par- ing policy should be permitted to in- terfere with the utility of the school- ship. The sturdy old craft is in need of repairs and badly wants a new suit of sails and double topsail yards. There seems to be a disposition on the part of the Board of Estimate and Apportion- ment to behave shabbily. to the ship and not put her in a condition for a. winter’s cruise. This policy is wrong. The American merchant marine should be fostered, and such grand work as the St. Mary’s has already accomplish- ed should be centinued. Of what use ' is it to spoil the ship for the sake of a h’ap’orth of tar ? An Enormous Enterprise. Steps are at last to be taken to utilize the great water power of Niagara. A gigantic tunnel, beginning a mile and a half above the Falls and extending to the water level below, has been bored through the solid rock 160 feet below . the surface. A canal brings the water to the mouth of a pit which leads down to the tunnel, At the bottom of the pit tremendous turbine water wheels are placed, by means of which the head power of the water is utilized. The tun- nel serves as the tail race through which the water escapes after it has done its work. The proposition is to furnish power for shops and factories whose output will be equal to that of fourteen of our largest mill cities in the United States —and then 96 per cent. of the power available will remain unutilized. In ad- dition to all this, it is expected that power can be conveyed to Buffalo, eighteen miles distant, sufficient for all electrical and manufacturing purposes for that city. , .The enterprise is controlled by New York capitalists, but the stockholders are representative men from all parts of the country. There is no doubt of the success of the Company, which will soon make of the country between Buf- falo and the Falls the largest manufac- turing center in the United States. Things to be Remembered. While the Democratic leaders are making up their minds as to whether they will give the people the tariff re- form for which the latter have asked in unmistakable terms, they must not forget that the country has of late years adopted a good, strong, vigorous foreign policy with which it will be well for them to get in line. Reformation of the "tariff is a ques- tion of domestic policy. \The Demo- cratic party has for the last quarter of a century proclaimed itself the champion and exponent _of reform, and at last the people have determined to give it a trial, says the Washington Post. It is for that party'to decide whether it will» redeem its promises by prompt and effective action, or discredit itself by faint-hear ted procrastination. But the matter of our foreign policy rises above party politics. It involves national sentiment, national dignityand honor. Democrats joined with Republicans in applauding the firmness and wisdom, and courage with which Mr; Harrison asserted the country’s manhood in the Chili'an affair, the Bering Sea affair, and in the various complications with our cantankerous neighbor beyond the lakes. No President and no party, no matter by what overwhelming major- ity installed in place and power, can afford to ignore the profOund and pas- sionate feeling of the nation in that respect. Mr. Cleveland’s administration will find much work that is both delicate and momentous awaiting it. Affairs in Samoa are not satisfactory. Germany’s course in that part of the world has in- volved us in distateful and unwelcome entanglements; and has borne its legit- imate fruit in the shape of most disas- trous conditions among the people themselves. The United States should see that the islands are free from the tyranny and avarice of foreign pow. ers and reinstated in their autonomy. In Hawaii we have great interests at stake. Foreign intrigue, '- foreign greed, and foreign schemes of seizure and appropriation are at work there a1- ; so, this time in the person of Great - Britain. ,. The success of those schemes will mean not only'the subjection of a ’ helpless people, but the serious if not ’;.the permanent destruction of our ”com. mercial and political influence in the Pacific. The United States should interpose a stern and emphatic veto there, also. And finally our patience has been well nigh exhausted by the persistent unfriendliness andunfairness of Canada at almost every point of con- tact between the two governments. Our treaty rights have been flagrantly violated in the matter of canal tolls, if not in other and more serious respects, and generally and in all directions we have encountered theisullen, deep-seat- ed, and scarcely veiled hostility of the Deminion. Mr. Harrison is fully war- ranted in dwelling on this topic, and in intimating that . a satisfactory adjust- ment of our relations with Canada will require the most vigorous measures. These are considerations of which the incoming government should not lose sight. The people might overlook a little delay in the reformation of our domestic and economic policy, but they will not, and they should not, for- give the very smallest compromise of our national dignity before the outside world. ~—- -———4 o >———-——~ -— —— Ex Post Facto. eh ?

VOTED TO PAY. All Informal Meeting Of Masons. A Subscription Taken Up. At an informal meeting of some twen- tLV-five members ofthe late St. John’s odgo held last night in the ante-room, Worshipful Master Mead called the brethren to order. and Mr. B. W.“Ma- pies was placed in the_ chair, and Charles E. Tucker chosen secretary. The question of paying Old Well Lodge its claim of $192 was discussed at length and a vote taken, which resulted five for to five against. A second vote fol- lowed and was also a tie, seven to sev- en. Then Mr. Maples expressed the opinion that it would be wisest to pay the claim and extinguish that part of the lodge’s difficulty and so cast his vote in its favor and" thus it was carried eight to seven. He also handed Mr. Mead $10 as his share of the assessment .and some forty dollars in all, were sub- scribed on the spot. Secretary Tucker was then authorized to circulate a sub- scription paper among absent members to collect the full amount. This action is viewed variously by different Masons. __ ______‘.._.._.___. . Amusements. OPERA HOUSE. Mrs: Lester Franklin, formerly known as Lillian D’Alve of the cele- brated D’Alve Sisters, who’s records show them in the past to have been un- der such managers as Col. Sinn, Harry Miner, Tony Pastor, Harry Williams, Wm. Emmet, Daniel Shelby, John Stetson and other first-class managers, is now making a decided hit at every performance of “Right Side Up,” says the Dramatic News. Her acting and singing in the part of Posy Blow- hard is delightful and so natural that one actually forgets being in a theatre; her every move is grace itself, her voice melodious and her face full of expression. . We congratulate Mr. Franklin, whom we have known for the most versatile American actors, upon his good for- tune in winning so clever a help-mate. "Right Side Up” will be at the N or- walk Opera House next Monday even- ing. MUSIC HALL. The old-time crowd was on hand last night to witness “A Cold Day, or the Laplanders,,’ a musical comedy in which Messrs. Fisher and Sheehan ap- pear and extract much fun. Perkins D. Fisher makes a very comical Dutch- man, as Jacob Blow, and John Shee- han as his partner, Able Effort, keep the audience in a roar while they are on the stage. The play does not lay much claim to any plot but has been ' written to give the company a chance to make the audience laugh. The action of the play is at Long Branch, aboarda steamer at sea. During the play, the Misses Carlotta, Marcelles, and Haynes, and the male members of the company, sang a number of popu- lar songs, amon which ale “Put on Your Bridal Veil,” “Chicken Pie," and numbers of the “Mikado” and “Adonis”. Miss Carlotta also intro- duces her specialty, “I’m so Shy.” “A Cold Day” is altogether one of the funniest plays of the season, says the Pittsburg Leader. Next Tuesday evening at Music Hall our people will have a chance to wit- ness the above production. The Senatorship. Governor Bulkeley has never yet led his party to defeat. He is in touch with the people, and knows what they want. He has the genius of success, the statesmanship of vigorous action. If the Republican party ever needed that quality in their public men they need it to-day, when the country at large is strewn with the wreckage of the storm aroused by the fatuouser- rors of some of our national leaders. It is perfectly manifest that this state is drifting hopelessly into the Demo- cratic column unless leadership of an aggressive type. is obtained from some source. The time has come when the Republican party must build on its younger and progressive element and send to the front leaders who are of this type.——Willimautic Journal. +>———1~——-— The Cause of Rheumatism. An acid which exists in sour milk and cider, called lactic acid, is believed by physicians to be the cause of rheuma- tism. Accumulating in the blood, it attacks the fibrous tissues in the joints, and causes agonizing pains. What is needed is a remedy to neutralize the acid, and to so invigorate the kidneys and liver that all waste will be carried off. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is heartily recommended by manv whom it has cured of rheumatism. t possesses just the desired qualities, and so thorough- ly purifies the blood as to prevent oc- currence of rheumatic attacks. We suggest a trial of Hood’s Sarsaparilla by all who sufi'er from rheumatism. Fire Alarm Boxes. Superintendent Hoyt of the fire alarm system, accompanied by A. Chin- ery chairman of the fire committee, tested the fire alarm boxes yesterday, and found box 36, (near the armory,) and box 56. (at the corner of Main street and North avenue.) out of order. They were taken down for repairs. They are known as the “new” or Stev- ens boxes, and there are five of them. It is almost invariably the case that when there is trouble with a box it' is found to be with one of these five box- es. The Gamewell boxes give excellent satisfaction. - Collision on the Sound.

The Corps feel quite elated over the success of the affair. The members of the Germanic Seen- gerbund are making great prepara- tions for their Christmas exercises which will be held Sunday evening, Dec.25th at their hall on Washington street bridge. A theatrical perform- ance is to form a part of the exercises, and the Germania propose making the affair more pleasing than any of the preceeding ones. The members of the Columbian Artil- lery met at the house of Mr. John A. Smith on Haviland street last evening. After winding up the business of the last campaign, it was voted to organize a permanent Democratic association, to be known as the Columbian Demo- cratic association of South Norwalk. The election of officers resulted as fol- lows : President, H. C. Smith; vice- president, Thomas F. Welch; secreta- ry, H. W. Bodwell; treasurer, John A. Smith; directors, H Smith, T. F. Welch, H. W. Bodwelll, J. A. Smith, Fred. H. Parsons. -Harold A. Parsons, Clarence Hunt, Marshall P. Smith and Howard Zelufi. Committees were ap- pointed to procure suitable rooms for the club, and to transact oth- er business‘connected with it, and the meeting then adjourned, subject to the call of the president. The club will number about fifty members.
