Great Suffering
After the Grip .
Tremendous Roaring in the Head

“ To C. I.”Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass:
“Two years ago I had a severe attack of the
Grip, which left me in a terribly weak and do-
bilitated condition. Last winter I had another
attack and was again very badly off, my health
nearly wrecked. My appetite was all gone, I
had no strength, felt tired all the tune, had
disagreeable roaring norses in my head, like a
waterfall. I also had severe headaches and

Another Great \Var Ship.
The big battle ship Indianna was
launched Tuesday into the waters of
the Delaware from the shipyards of
the Cramps. She is one of the most
formidable vessels ever built for our
navynand there is no nation of Europe
that would not be proud to own her.
In construction she will rank with
the very greatesttriumphs of marine
warlike architecture. and it is a matter
of pride to every American that the
- native genius has laid down her lines.
devised the splendid armament with
which she will be equipped, and,
above all, that our )wn artisans have
executed the conceptions of her crea-
tors.

True Nobilitv.
Governor McKinley will have the
general and since-me sympathy of all
fair—minded citizens throughout the
country in his financmh misfortune.
He is utterly bankrupted by business
failure that was not of his own direc- -
‘ tion, and he falls like mnnv other gen-
erous men, by his faith in his friends.
His invalid wife has given the coun-
try an illustration of the noblest Ameri-
can womanhood. She has an ample
fortune to meet the frugal wants of her
husband and herself, and when it is all
givenit is insufficient to meet all claims,
but she has insisted that her husband’s
credit is more valuable than gold, and .
her entire estate has been given to
creditors regardless of the protests of
her friends.

The M’Garrahan Claim.
The bill for the relief of William Mc-
Garrahan having been‘so modified as
to obviate the objections hitherto en-
tertained to it by the President and
favorbly reported upon in both Houses,
is in a fair way to pass at the present
session, if the few minutes necessary to
dispose of this long-pending and meri-
torious measure Can once be secured.
A motion will be made in'the House at
the first convenient opportunity by
the Hon. Marcus A. Smith to suspend
the rules and pass the bill, which sub-
mits to the court of private land claims
for adjutication the title of Mr. ile-
Garrahan to the property in contro-
versy. The Speaker has been reques-
ted by 151 Members and Delegates, of
whom 131 are Democrats, or 12 more
than a majority of all the Democratic
members, to recognize this motion, in
i which event the passage 61: the bill is
assured. ‘
Inasmuch as the bill carnes no ap-
propriation, but simply provides for
ascertaining the rights of a private citi-
zen, who has time and again had am-
ple assurance, both in Senate "and
House. of the fundamental justice of
hisclaim, it is to be hoped that Con-
gress will not adjourn without final
action in the premises.
How About that Treaty ?
Mugwumps and Dodos enjoy one
great advantage—they do not acknow-
ledge any obligation of consistency.
The New York Evening Post and the
St. Louis Republic, for example, 0p-
pose the Hawaiian annexation treaty,
employing as their chief argument the
assertion that the whole movement is a
' sordid conspiracy to capture the sugar
— bounty, although they have always
«contended and still contend, when
speaking in other connections, that the
sugar bounty was doomed by logic of
' Mr. Cleveland’s election,says the Wash-
ington Post.
Ordinary people would be hampered.
in their polemics by the consideration
that, if the sugar bounty be fated t‘b
extermination,.the conspirators in Ha.
. -. wail are hardly likely to make it the
' : inspiration of. their stratagcm; but the
. ..l;§ugwump [Post and the Dodo Bepub.
- .--'Ji.o sought Alon: mkmz that fund:
hero .‘:‘ property ’.’ do: doublofttud con;
l
tradictory duty, and never, apparently,
suspecting that they are anything but
the dignified, seductive, and superior
creatures they profess to be. Both of
these remarkable newspapers sneer at
what common peopl‘g regard as nation-
al feeling. Both leok upon pride of
country as stupid and vulgar. Both
denounce the Navy as p. mischievous
and brutal agency, and both reject the
idea that an opinion differing from
theirs can by any possibility be honest
and intelligent. This it is to be a Mug-
wump or a Dodo or both. Thus only
can human beings and institutions be
infallible.
It is to be hoped that the next Sen-
ate will take prompt and favorable
action upon the treaty. The Demo-
cratic party cannot well assume the
responsibility of defeating a movement
so obviously in the best interests of the
bountry, and the Democratic party
must feel that it is pledged at the same
time to relieve the proposed arrange-
ment of the only serious objection now
urged against it—the sugar bounty.
The next administration Will have a
Democratic Congress to support it and
will, therefore, be answerable to pub-
ic Opinion for its acts. There can be
no excuse for any repudiation of its
promises, for it will have the power to
fulfill them. There can be no pallia-
tion of its errors, for it will be in a
position to realize its scheme of gov-
ernment. The country is waiting to
see whether it will take up that work of
{revenue reform to which it has so
noisily announced its consecration, and
whether it will carry out those plans of
national development for which it has
always claimed a special and exclusive
fitness. The Democratic millennium
has come at last. We shall see whether
it will make us happy.
Presidental Courtesies.
“In what are now too often called
the good old days of the fathers of the
Republic, says the Philadelphia Times,
John Adams exhibited the official dig-
nity and decency of the times by com-
missioning a lot of midnight Judges
on the 3d of March, 1801, and fleeing
from the Executive Mansion in the.
early morning hours of the 4th, to
avoid the necessity of extending any
official or personal courtesies to Jef-
ferson, who had defeated Ada s in
1800. Jefferson clad in a full suit of
homespun. mounted his horse, rode to
the Capitol without pomp or ceremony,
hitched his horse to a convenient gate
post, delivered his inaugural addres
and rode back to the empty home of
the Presidents with only vacancy and
silence to welcome him.
\ 'hen John Quincy Adams was suc-
ceeded by Jackson on the 4th of March,
1820, there was mutual ill-temper on
both sides to jar the inaugural cere-.
monies. The younger Adams managed
to exhibit a little of frigid politeness
but there was an entire absence of
personal or official courtesies. In 1860,
when Grant succeeded Johnson, we
had the last exhibition of churlishness.
Gen. Grant and Johnson hated each
other with all the intensity of their
natures and both were conspicuous as
good haters. It was known that John-
son would not ride with or receive
Grant and it was known also that Grant
would not ride with or receive John-
son. There was no misunderstanding;
no love lost : no disappointments. John-
son fired off a farewell address through
the public press advising the nation to
repudiate its war debt, and hustled off
in an early train for his Tennessee
home, while Grant rode alone to the
Capitol and returned to be received by
the servants at the White House.
The era of broad-gauge American
courtesy on inauguration day began
with President Arthur. He made
Cleveland the guest of honor at a
White House dinner the day before
inauguration, and be accompanied the
President-elect to the Capitol, sitting
on the right on the way to the inaugu-
ration and on the left on the return.
In 1880, Cleveland extended the same
courtesies to Harrison, who was enter-
tained at the XVhite House by the de-
feated President, and next Saturday
Harrison will extend the same gener~
ous courtesies to the coming president
who defeated him at the late election.
Harrison wrli leave \Vashington in the
afternoon of inauguration day, but not
until he shall have extended to his
successor every possible courtesy and
proved to the nation his just apprecia-
tion of the dignity of the office and the
sovereignty of the American people.”
Office-Seekers Are All Right.
We hear a‘ great deal inthese days
about the deep depravity of office-seek-
ing, and about Mr. Cleveland’s unut-
terable scorn of office-seekers. Every
little newspaper that feels called upon
to swell up and be high~toned is telling
us, says-the Washington Post, that the
rush of spoilsmen has already begun,
and that it promises to be more revolt-
ingly vulgar and nauseous than ever
before. Congressmen are reported as
being aghast at the number and the fe-
rocity of the applications pouring in
upon them. Political leaders,
say, are simply overwhelmed. And
from , the distance comes a wild and
hungry howl which reminds these su-
perior gentlemen of the clamor of hy-
cnas, and causes large and injurio
shudders to rack their dainty frames. '
All this wasto be expected, or course.

and worshiping themselves.. But the
attempt to draw Mr."Clevela'nd into
their fraternity is inefplicable.’ One
must be steeped 'n the very dregs of;
infatuation to give place to such a
theory. Why, pray, should the Pleat.
dent-elect despise an office-seeker?
There is nothing - disgraceful. in the
ambition of an American citizen to
hold an office and to take part in the
Government of the pountry.. Of what
use would our free institutions be and
how long would they survive if honor-
able and worthy men considered it as a
duty to forego their responsibilities?
Mr. Cleveland himself has been in of
fice nearly all his life. He 'has been a-
provincial sheriff, the mayor of a tenth«
rate town, a governor, and a President.
He has illustrated in his own career
the highest possibilities of American
citizenship. Does anybody believe
that Mr. Cleveland held all these offl-
ces and three times received a nomina-
tion for the Presidency by virtue of
having endeavored to escape them?
If any one does, he should be furnished
with a keeper. if not a strait~jacket.
Let the office-seekers come on. They
have a right to seek office. The Gov-
ernment of this country does not be-
long to any class—least of all to the
freaks and dudes who think themselves
better than their neighbors, but who
succeed only in being less manly and
honest and sensible.
The Tax on Bank Stock.
A GAZETTE reader after having care-
fully conned what has been published
in its columns in reference to the abate-
ment made on a few persons’ bank
stock, and much of the street discus-
sion of the subject, as well, desires that
we should publish the law on the sub-
ject, which we give herewith, very
cheerfully :
SEC. 3836. Shares of the capital stock
of any bank, national banking associa-
tion, insurance, turnpike, bridge, or
plank road company, owned by any
resident in this State, shall be set in
his list, at its market value in the town
in which he may reside.
SEC. 3837. The cashiers or secretar-
ies of all corporations, whose stock is
liable to taxation, shall, on or before
the twelfth day of October, annually,
inform the assessors of each town of
the names of the stockholders residing
therein. and the amount of stock owned
by each, as exhibited by the books of
said corporations, on the first day of
said October, so far as the residence of
such stockholders shall be known to
such cashiers or secretaries, and its
market value during the month of Sep-
tember next precedlng.
By the letter and evident spirit of the
above sections of the law, it becomes
quite a serious question as to where
Attorney Warner finds his authority
for any such abatement on our local
bank stock as he advised the town’s as-
sessors that they could legally make
for such as had made personal applica-
tion therefor. The GAZETTE is in-
formed that the Board of Borough As-
sessors has steered clear of the rock on
which the town Board of Belief seems
to have split, by getting from our sav-
ings banks the bona fide price which
they stand ready to pay for the stock
of our several banks, and having this
offer to guide them they have kept to
the law by assessing the full cash value
thus positively ascertained. Now this
is clear and explicit and would seem to
leave no ground for the Borough Board
of Belief to base any abatement upon.
The local taxes on bank stock are
heavy and really so onerous that some
method ought to be devised by which a
citizen of Norwalk can fare as well in
N ev-
ertheless, any abatement“ made one,
should be made for all, and if the law
was strictly followed, all would be,
equally well treated. ‘

An Exciting Contest.
Never in the history of Norwalk has
greater excitment prevailed over a triv-
ial matter than that which stirred up the
multitude Saturday night during the
closing hoursof the Gaznrm’s free in-
auguration ticket-contest. The GAZ-
nm counting room, lobby and the

an eager but good natured crowd that

to enable-anyone to gain an entrance.

The bill";er increase of the Consoli-
datedr’oad capital stock to $100,000,000
cameggju'p' in .the House
and. provoked an animated debate.
"Chairman Rockwell, of the Railroad"
committee, said the committee had
been unanimous in favor of the meas-
ure and saw no reason to change their
minds, despite adverse. comment by
the newspapers and mem , of the
“third house.” It had been said the
measure was being railroaded'through
out of favor to the Consolidated, but
why should not our honestly conduc-
ted Connecticur. corporation be given
deserved consideration when it was
fighting against outside ._ speculators.
He then made an argument for the
bill which embodied most of the state-
ments submitted by President Clark
to the committee. Heasked the cour-
tesy of being allowed the. closing re-
marks on the subject.
-' Hotchkiss'of New Haven, withdrew
his last week’s amendment that when
the stock issue reached $95,000,000 two-
cents-per mile fare should be estab-
lished throughout the company’s sys-
tem. and substituted one making the
amount $75,000,000. He said he did
not dispute the statement of the com
pany. That their stock was not watered,
but taking par value and market into
consideration they were doing so well
they could afford to make'stockholders
a. present of $45,000,000. Why not
make the entire public beneficiaries?
On branch lines at present the fare
was from 2.} to 5 cents per mile.
Lee, of Westport, thought the pro-
posed reduction a good thing for the
company as well as the public. When
the original 2 cent reduction on the
main line was made the next year’s.
earnings increased by $105,000.
Gunn, of Milford, asked why the
Consolidated was singled out for ar-
bitrary reductions in passenger rates.
It was an unjust discrimination unless
other Connecticut railroads received
the same treatment. It was like one
men taking another man by the throat
and saying: “You have more money
thanI; buy me a dinner.” No rail-
road in the United States gives its pa-
trons as good service for the same com-
pensation as the Consolidated.
Wells, of Fairfield, spoke for the
Hotckiss amendment, saying President
Clark of the Consolidated had not
shown accommodating spirit to South-
porters, once telling them that a street
they desired to keep open, he would
close so tight apotato bug could not
get through. Briusmade, of Washing-
ton, also spoke for the amendment
While Cowles, Southington, McKnight
of East Hartford, Sacks, of Waterbury,
Lounsbury, of Darien, and Healey, of
Windsor Locks, favored the original
resolution. Walsh of Bridgeport,
moved for a yea and nay vote on the
amendment, but the motion was lost,
receiving only tw0 votes. On a viva
voce vote Speaker Brooks declared the
amendment defeated. Lees called for
a division of the House, and when
taken it resulted in defeat of the
amendment by 135 to 48.
A further amendment by Brinsmade
that all the new stock except that need-
ed for the Old Colony lease should be
sold at auction, was lost. The original
resolution authorizing the stock issue
was then carried with only one dissent-
ing vote. The Senate approved the
measure last week.
The Senate postponed consideration
.of Gen. Graham’s petition for rein-
statement as brigadier-general of the
National guard to Wednesday next,
owing to the absence of Senator Cran-
dall, who prepared the minority report
against Gen. Graham. The Senate
passed bills and resolutions authoriz-
ing the city of Bridgeport to issue
bonds ; incorporating the Y. M. C. A.

brigadier-general of the National guard
to two years; appointing David M.
Rowland (Dem.) of Bridgeport, Sena-
tor Houlihan of Newtown and W. S.

The Senate also passed the bill appro-
priating $59,000 annually to the‘ State
Firemen’s association.
