o of Siioam, N. Y. __1. Husband and Wife . Both Cured by Hood’s 'Sarsaparilla _._ Qatari-ll, may. Complaint, Heart Failure, Liver Troubles, "I think it my duty to voluntarily tell what Hood’s Sarsaparilla has done for myself and wife. Last spring my wife was in a very bad way with kidney complaint; felt Miserable All the Time and could hardly get around the house. She began to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and in one week she was improving. When she had taken but three bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla she was cured of that dreadful disease. As for me, I was troubled with Catarrh, Heart Failure and Liver Complaint. Suffered so in- tensely that I Could Not Sleep at night, nor get any rest through the day. As soon as Ilay down, my heart would heat so hard that I would have to get up. I had very severe pains in the small of my back and noises In my head like a flock of black birds all singing at once. So you see I was hard 11 . I also experienced benefit from Hood’s Sarsapariila within a week. after I began taking it. I have improved rapidly and can now sleep better than I have for a year, can eat and not bloat as I used to. We praise Hood’s Sarsaparllla for we think there is no medicine like it.” HEN- mr C. and- MARY E. RICHARDSON, Siioam, Madison County, N.

The candidates for Borough police- men and other offices had better post. . pone being measured for uniforms and badges until they are sure that there will be vacancies. We are credibly in- formed that the Republicans will work the 3, 2 and 1 game for all it is worth, while the Democrats say the Borough interest and bills can go to the dogs“ unless they have a: share of the spoils. If all these dreadful things are true Norwalk would bea good field for Mug- wump Civil service reformers to hold a Camp-meetin giand convert these wicked spoilsmen to the true faith. ’The Dem- ocrats say they are ready to act fair and even liberaally towards their greedy Republican associates, but when they come in and demand the earth, they think it time to kick a bit. What a glorious opportunity is this—the chance of a lifetime—for our Campy to come in and pour oil on these troubled political waters. Here is the Mug- wump chance to render name and its fame, immortal, The Cieveland Cabinet- While many organs and leaders seem to be most impatient about the forma- tion of the new Cleveland Cabinet, the one man who doesn’t seem to be in a hurry or at all ruflfled about it is Mr. Cleveland himself, says the Philadel- phia Times. It will be safe to assume that no Cab- inet portfolio will be definitely settled until it shall be authoritatively an- nounced by the President-elect. He has doubtless given much consideration to the subject, and it is quite probable that he may have reaéhed preliminary or even \ final conclusions as to some of the members of the new Cabinet, but the inauguration is yet more than two months distant, and many new exigen- cies. may arise in that time to require a recast of the Cabinet or the transform- ation of men who may ' now be regard- ed as accepted for particular positions. Two facts should not be overlooked in regaid to, the newCabinet. First, Mr. Cleveland now knows the public men of the country as well as any other man on the continent; and, second. the extension of Democratic power in the West :brings an eutirelvnew condition before him. When elected in 1884 he _‘ knew few of the men of national fame personally. and he had to grope his way with the best lights he could obtain from generally interested parties; but now he will be reasonably certain to flornnhis own judgment as to the best constitutional advisers, and the new Cabinet will be entirely of his own cre- ation. ' It goes without saying that the new Cabinet will be Democratic, and that the new administration will be Demo- cratic ; but it will lead rather than fol- low in defining the landmarks of Dem- ocratic policy. In view of the new and exceptionally responsible duties which are imposed upon Mr. Cleveland by ex- isting political and business conditions, the selection of a compet'ent‘and har- monious Cabinet is of supreme import- ance. It is a duty that Mr. Cleveland owes to himself and to the country, and there need be no fear as to his accept- ance‘of that great duty without Shirk- . ing finyresponsibility. The country is quitegcontent to leave to Mr. Cleveland the selection of his Cabinet; and even if it Were not content, it would not change the result. The Highest Honors in Politics. ,Most men regard the attainment of public place as the highest honors in politics, and many. are not sdruplous as to whether they climb or crawl into of- ficial positions; but the' greenest and most enduring honors in politics are worn by those who merit'distinguished public trust and decline it. , ‘ The two men who did more than any I the Greek, that saved Cleveland at ~me 3 ; both have more to gain as private .tained the highest official honors under ‘Platoons, Hospital and Signal Corps (gear, the First company of oot Guard other score of 'men to nominate and elect Mr. Cleveland to the Presidency were William C. Whitney, of New York, aud’William F. Harrity, of Penn- sylvania ; Whitney’s masterly strategy and unflinching courage made Cleve- land’s success in New York possible, and what he made possible soon grew into certainty. Mr. Harrity held the nomination of Cleveland in his hands at Chicago, and it was his fidelity and courage that gave the Cleveland vic- tory even in the face of pressing but insincere offers to tempt him to com- pliment his own chief in Pennsylvania. In this heroic stand he was unreserv- edly and earnestly supported by both . Governor Pattison and Attorney Gen- eral Hensel; but it was Harrity’s keen appreciation of fidelity and his sag- acity to comprehend that the proffered compliment to his chief was the gift of Chicago. . Since these two men have played the meet conspicuous parts in directingthe national campaign that closed with the greatest party victory of modern times ; and both have added to their laurels by declining to be considered in shar- ing the official honors they have won for their cause. Both are business citizens than as public servants; both have the just ,appreciation of the hon- ors which are accorded to those who eminently mei-it but decline official place, and both will be much more po- tent in the national councils of- the party than if they had sought and ob- the administration, says the Philadel- phia Times. It has been an open secret with the intimate friends of. Mr. Harrity that he neither sought nor desired any of- ficial position under the President he aided so much to nominate and elect. To a man of his years the temptation to Cabinet honors, which seemed more I than possible, was great ; but he wisely ‘ rejected all such suggestions to pursue his important financial calling and maintain his more profitable and less exacting official position in the State. Mr. Whitney and Mr. Harrity will wear no official chaplets from the new administration ; but when sincere and enlightened counselors are wanted in Washington, they will ever be among the most welcome. L. A. W. Men Elect Officers. The annual meeting of the new officers of the Connecticut division, L. A. W., was held in Hartford.

Report on the State School Fund. : Jeremiah Olney, Commissioner of the State. School Fund for this State, has just issued his annual report. The enumeration, which, however. is for October of last year, shows an increase in the State of children of school age of 2,812. The increase in Fairfield county is 1,200. The amount of dividend d1- vided among the towns of the State. at 75c. per capita, was $123,039.75. The whole number of children was 164,053. Fairfield county had 34,064, and re- ceived $25,548. There were only five towns in this county which had more than 1,000 children. They are: Bridge- port, 12,906: Danbury, 4,199: Norwalk, 3,608 ; Stamford, 3,572 ; Greenwich, 1,045. The proportion from the school fund was Bridgeport, $9,679.50; Dan- bury, $3,149.25; Norwalk, $2,706; Stamford, $2,679; Greenwich, $1,533.75. Adjutant General’s Report. The report of the adjutant general I of the state on the condition and strength of the National Guard has been issued. There has been a gain of 100 officers and enlisted men during the year. Eleven companies of infan- try have the maximum strength al-‘ lowed by law, three: officers and 65 en- listed men. Thirty companies have a membership of 90 per cent., or better, of the maximum. The Machine Gun maintain full membership of excellent material and are in good condition, un- der capable officers. The Governor’s Guard organizations maintain about the same average of strength as last aving its full chartered strength six officers and 112 enlisted men, with a ’ considerable number of supernumer- ' aries waiting to fill vacancies. New Oyster Laws. _' It is stated that some of the leading oy stermen are busily at work drafting a bill which will correct what the oys- termen term the glaring injustice of the present statutes. This draft is al- most completed. . One clause of the proposed bill pro- vides that the boundary lines of pri- vate and public beds shall no longer be indicated, as at present, bv stakes erected by the owners, who very often, the “natural growthers”.say, encroach considerably on the public beds. All such beds are to be resurveyed in a ' thorough manner and the boundaries marked by cast iron buoys put in po- s1tion by the state. Wherever practi- cable and when it can be done without the contingency of danger to passing vessels, these are to be replaced with gramte_monuments,-also to be erected and maintained by the-state. .In this way, _the .oystermen claim, the old standing feuds over bed boundaries- Will be done away with. I .Other sections of the bill are. even more important. If the proposed bill is passed, however, it will mean a com- plete revolution of the laws under which the oyster business is conducted. The bill will be ready for presentation to the General assembly shortly afterit convenes. ' ‘ . I Just Arrived! . TWO CAR LOADS on NEW CARRIAGES, WHICH WILL BE SOLD AT THE LOWEST CASH PRICES‘AT H. E.
