The Bridgeport Farmer publishes an interview with a Democrat said to be well posted, who, after saying that Mr. Benedict of Greenwich never aspired to and would not accept a Cabinet posi- ,tion, continues : “But we’re not going to allow Mr. Benedict to keep himself in the background. He’s going to be. the next Governor of this State, and he’ll make 11 Governor. I am confident, that the people of this State will be proud of. No State needs in 8. Governor the thorough busi- ness ability which is possessed by 1111'. Benedict. I'lis capacity for making and retaining friends is remarkable, and he has also that qualification poss- essed by few men of securing the confi- dence of public men and the people in general. He’ll make one of the best Governors this state ever had and after that-—11'ell. there are higher positions.” —— ..-.___._.4 .9. A New Tax Row. ‘Messrs. Oliver E. Wilson, George M. Holmes. Eben’r. J. Hill, J9 cob M. Layton and E. O. Keeler, succeeded 1n having the town Board of Belief cut down the assessments of their reSpec- tive bank stock holdings thirty per cent! This discovery, which resulted from an accidental sight of one of the party’s tax list in the town’s bound vol- ume. caused the most intense excite- ment and indignation on the part of other local bank stbck owners, because they had not been similarly treated. The Board of Belief consists of Messrs. . Bradley S. Keith,Platt Price and Henry “S. Seymour. Mr. Seymour was at once sought and the demand made to know why, when this was done for the parties named, in fairness and equity the same abatement was not made on the lists of all bank stock owners alike ? Mr. Sey- mour said he was opposed to the re- duction as unfair, unless it was to be made for all, but was overruled by his two associates on the Board, the excuse for their action being that no one else had asked for any abatement. The answer to' this was, that no other bank stock owners had any knowledge that such an abatement was to be, 01' would be made for anybody, and in efl'ect. if not in fact, it was asecret, irregular and indecent transaction. To this it is answered that there was no justice in rating property invested in banks at any higher rates than when invested in real estate or other property. That while the practice had obtained of tax- ing all sound and prosperous bank stocks up to their full par value, if not up to premium value, it was an unjust discrimination, inasmuch as real estate and personal property rarely‘ went into the lists at an appraisal of more than two—thirds value. The amounts assessed respectively and the five abatements, are as fol- lows 2?? Ass ’11 A11 t d '0. 1‘1. Wilson. 31 000 Bk Nor 11 all: 31. 0.’ 0 $300 E. J. 11111. 2 300 1500 G. M.

The claim is made and with a show of justice, that if an abatement was to be made for one. it ought to have been made for every bank stock owner in town and tlIe—p-db- lic sentiment will be very likely to set- tle upon this reasonable conclusion.

I procured some from the druggist at once, and before I had taken two bottles I was so much better that I was astonished! “I continued its use and now I am feeling as well and sound as I ever was in my life. I can truly say that had it not been for Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy I should now be in my grave. “I have recommended this wonder- ful remedy to all of my friends. 'I can- not speak too highly of this great medi- cine, and I earnestly recommend it to all who are suffering from disease.’ Our readers would be foolish indeed if they do not follow Mr. Wilson’s ad— vice, if they are sick or out of order, for it is a sure thing that this remarka- ble remedy cures. Besides it is purely vegetable. and harmless. The great physician and specialist in nervous and chronic diseases, Dr. Greene of 35 W. 111th Strtee t, Jew York, discovered it, and he and other physicians prescribe and recommend it. The doctor also can be consulted free of charge in re- gard to any case personally or by letter. I A Horsey Bishop. Bishop Wilson of Calcutta was every eccentric divine. His sermons were very racy.

BELFAST, Feb. 24.—Since the issue 01 the Orange manifesto on the Home Rule bill much activity prevails among the members of that order. Extensive preparations are being made for a great pubic demonstration at Ul- - ster Hall on Thursday evening next. Yesterday posters printed on orange pa- per, convenin ,the meeting, were stuck up everywhere and have causeda great deal of excitement. These placards are worded thus: Rise, sons of William, rise; let us alike defy Pope, traitor or pretender; Rise to heaven the patriot cry: Derry boy and no surrender. . Orangemen comprise the bone and sinew of the pOpulation here, and from their ranks are drawn almost exclusively the artisans of Belfast and the farmers of the neighboring country, who are in the fullest sympathy with the movement. In all the Protestant denominations there are already indications of a great increase . of membership, in View of the approach- ing cr131s. The feeling is even more intense than that which preceded the dreadful riots of 1885, when 200 people were killed out- right and many more injured. A leading Orangeman stated that there would be bloody work, and that he would not ask thetbrethren to abstain from their part in 1 DE LESSEPS’ APPEAL. Panama Bribe-Takers Are Bribe-Givors. 24.——Charles de Lssseps, as Guilty as PARIS, Feb. Marius Fontane and M. were committed for trial by the Judical Chamber on February 7 for giving or re- ceiving bribes, have appealed to the Court of Cassation for a. reversal of the committals. ' Counsel argued that the bribery clause in the Code contemplated only the of‘ fences of executive and administrative officials, and not members of Parliament. The Deputies who received the Panama money, therefore, as well as the persons who gave them, could not be charged correctly under the law withbribe-giving or bribe-taking. The offence in question was rather reach of trust. This line of argument was especially intended to exculpate M. Sans-Leroy, who sold- his vote as a De— puty when the lottery loan was under consideration in the Chamber. Charles de Lesseps’ counsel pleaded, moreover, that in the mascot M. Baihaut, the Minister of Public Works, who was bought by the Panama Company, the money was extorted from the directors, and not offered by them voluntarily as a bribe. GREAT MEN ACCUSED. Italian Statesmen Charged VVlth Fraud- Inquiry stifled. ROME, Feb. 24.—Signor Agnini, Social- ist Deputy, spoke at length in the Cham- ber yesterday concerning ex- Premier Crispi’s charge that Giolitti, when Min- ister of Finance, in 1880, had expressed the belief that the Bank of Rome was conducted dishonestly. Statements had been made generally, he said, that compromised several Premiers and their Cabinets, and the only honor- able way of repudiating such charges was through a. searching and impartial par- liamentary investigation. To this course only thbse having some- thing to conceal could object. He would move, therefore, that a committee of seven Deputies be appointed to examine and report on the relations of recent min- istries to the banks of issue. Agnini’s motion was rejected by a vote of 197 to 92. LEO LAUDS HOME RULE. The Enlightened Pontiff Declares It Jus- flee to Ireland. ' ROME, Feb. 24.—Pope Leo, conversing with Cardinal Logue, said be approved of Irish Home Rule. Justice to Irish Catho- lics would tend to strengthen England. His Holiness eulogized Mr. Glgdstone, who, he said, had his heart in the success of the scheme so dear to 1115 good Irish. Replying to the congratulations and well wishes extended to him by the lead- ers of the French pilgrims, the Pop. said: “I know that France desires to remain Catholic. For this purpose she mustbo free. Christian institutions must be al- lowed freedom to deveIOp, and parentfl must be allowed liberty to have their children educated at Catholic schools.” Abrams is Wanted in New York.
