To be true to its patrons, a real news-

news. The same may be said of the
editorial columns, and just as thoseof
the GAZETTE have contained fresh in-
formation, so they have in addition
emphasized the spirit of independence
which has dominated the whole paper.
The GAZETTE’S independence has not
been that of neutrality; it has neither
dodged issues nor avoided them entire-
ly, by silence; it has not waited on the
fence until developments showed upon
which side it would be easier to drop
with comfort and gain. All parties
have felt the sting of its criticism, as
well as the encouragement of its com-
mendation, when such was merited,
ahd the individual who has brought
himself into a situation where rebuke
was needed, has been unable to shield
himself behind race, color, previous or
present condition. The GAZETTE has

them, and advocates what it believes to
be right, irrespective of considerations

Hartford’s New Steamer.
The,Washington Star, covetiug the
good things to be found in Connecticut,
thus urges the capital city to secure
several of the famoussteam fire engines
of which Hartford is so justly proud.
It says:
“With a greater mileage of perfectly
smooth streets than any other city in
the world, there does not seem to be
any good reason why Washington
should not have several such steam fire
engines as the one of which the city of
Hartford is proud. The engine in ques-
tion, the largest and most powerful of
its class, is self-propelling, has an ex-
treme speed of more than thirty miles .
an hour, and is just as easy to handle
as an engine drawn by two powerful
and rapidly-moving horses. The run-
, ning gear is extremely simple, and its,
working is in every sense satisfactory.
Thirteen hundred and fifty gallons of
water in one minute is the pumping
capacity, and at a trial made a ‘short
time ago a horizontal stream of water,
forced through fifty feet of three and
one-half inch hose, was sent 348 feet,
while two streams, each of them as
large as that thrown by an ordinary
steam engine, went over three hundred
feet. Washington needs at least two
such engines for its high buildings.”
Sugar vs. Whisky.
When the sugar trust meets the whis-
ky trust then comes the tug of war.
The representatives of these two trusts
have apparently concluded that in the
pending tariff legislation their interests
conflict, and after making faces at each
other for a season, have now grappled.
Is it not possible out of the clash of
the rival speculators to obtain provi-
sions of law which will profit the pub-
lic ? There is no wiser and more popu-
lar method of raising revenue neces-
sary for the government than by a
heavy tax upon whisky—a hurtful lux-
ury. It is not now paying anywhere
near what it can stand without decreas-
ing the revenues through the encour.
agement of illicit distilling which is
afforded by an excessive tax. It is
easily possible, through a proper word.

enue without enriching the whisky
trust. If legislation takes this turn
it will disappoint both trusts, and bene-
fit only the people.

NORWALK, CONN. FRIDAY MARCH 23, 1894.

EDITORIAL LETTER.
\VASHINGTON, March 23, 1894.
DEAR GAZETTBz—Senator Voorhees
has at last reported his amended, or
more accurately “tinkere’d”i_Tarifi' bill
to the Senate and served notice that on
Monday, April 2nd, he will verbally
explain to that body why the various
changes to the original House or Wil-
why no more satisfactory measure
could be agreed upon by the democrat-
,icmajority’pf the Finance Committee.
‘ Senator. Platt seriously deprecates
the cry that has gone'up' in all parts of
the country for any bill, if enacted at
once, rather than a good and safe bill,
to be perfected and passed later on.
Democrats and Republicans are about
equally dissatisfied with this warmed
over Wilson bill. It shows in all its
parts, say senators of both part-ies, a
total want of correct and adequate in-
formation in regard to the whole ques-
tion of duties, on the part of the few
Southern and provincial lawyers who
have licked it into shape.
Following are, in brief, the principal
changes in the administrative features
of the tariff bill as reportedyesterday:
Section 102, which was held to be an
absolute repeal of the McKinley act,
has been stricken from the bill and
such parts of that act, notably the to-
bacco tax, are retained under a prOper
section. . . __
The only material reduction made in
the revenue to be derived by the bill is
that caused by the restoration of_ the
existing internal revenue tax on Cigars
and cigarettes in place of the increase
previously agreed upon. This will re-
duce the amount carried by the bill by
about $9,000,000. . ‘
A very important amendment. is made
in the section governingtho manufac-
ture of tobacco, which is intended to
prevent the sale of leaf tobacco by
dealers competing with the sale of man-
ufactured tobacco, but is so worded as
to protect the farmer and grower of to-
bacco in his right to sell his own pro-
duct without the payment of a tax.
In the income tax the Senate com-
mittee originally struck out the provi-
‘sion of the” House blll. that this not
should'not apply to the income or divi-
dends of building and loan associations.
'As reported the bill is intended to care-
fully guard against taxing bona fide
building associations. >
- GOD IN THE CONsTITUTION.
Thousands of petitions have ‘come
through the mails within the past fort-
night from religious societies and other
interested asking that favorable action
be taken upon the joint resolution now
before the House Judiciary Committee
to insert the name of the Deity in the
Federal Constitution. Some of the pe-
titions are several yards long and all
are numerously signed. They .come
principally from the States of Ohio and
Pennsylvania. They are addressed to
the two Houses of Congress.
MEDAL FOR A JOURNALIST
Congressman Amos J. Cummings, of
New York,is to receive a medal of hon-
or from the War Department for con-
spicuous gallantry displayed by him at
the battle of Salem _I:leights, Va., May
4, 1863. It will be given upon the ap-
lication of Gen. James R. O’Beirne,the
newly elected commander of the Legion
of Honor. Gen. O’Beirne has been re-
cently looking through the reports
made by. some of the ofiicers of the
Twenty-sixth New Jersey Regiment, to
which Mr. Cummings was attached as
sergeant major, when he discovered the
honorable mention there made of the
New York Representative, who was at
the time a lad. The report of Capt.
Peter F. Rogers, of Company K, con-
tains the following statement: “Dur-
ing the battle and while engaged in re-
polling the aSsaults of the Confederate
forces, which I believe consisted of a
Louisiana brigade—the Sixth, Seventh,
Eighth and Ninth Louisiana-0ur line
became disorganized, uncovering and
exposing to capture two of our 81X guns.
The horses belonging to the guns had
been either shot or stampeded, necessi-
tating the use of drag ropes. At this
critical period, and in what seemed a
hopeless task, Amos J. Cummings, the
sergeant major of the regiment, dis-
played conspicuous gallantry, and aid-
ed by his voice and heroism,a sufficient
number of men were secured to insure
the safety of the guns. The men thus
rallied not only placed the guns beyond
capture, but were immediately thereaf-
ter an important factor in the repulse
of the attacking column.
ARMY on THE UNEMPLOYED
The stories of Coxey’s army of unem-
ployed marching to Washington to
make a demonstration are received
with various opinions by members of
Congress. Some regard the movement
with more or less apprehension and re-
call the march of a similar army to Ver-
sailless from Paris and back to Paris,
escorting the royal couple, which was
the opening of the French revolution a
century ago. Senator Plait takes a dif-
ferent view of the matter. He thinks
there will be no march upon Washing-
ton._ He told a friend yesterday that,
in his opinion, the entire scheme would
be abandoned. He argued that this is
the time for farmers to begin work,and
they will be little disposed to support a
grand army of idle men, who will be
largely dependent for the success of
their movement upon what the farmers
choose to supply for their maintenance.
Besides, no tangible benefit can result
from such o. demonstration, and in the
absence of any logical reason for the
displaypf the enterprise will probably
meet With discouragement at the outset.

Mrs. Raymond Leimer Takes an
Ounce of Lau‘danum.
Repeated Shocks From an Electric
Battery Rouse Her.
When Raymond Leimer, a hatter em-
ployed at Raymond & Gemstock’s, re-
turned to his home at No. 11 North
Main street, SOuth Norwalk, yesterday
afternoon about five o’clock he found
Mrs. 'Leimer' lying unconscious with an
empty laudanuin bottle beside her.
Leimer at once went after Di".._Allen,
who prc mptly responded and,found the
woman profoundly under'the influence
of lar-idenuin and unable to swallow.
The doctor had taken a small electric;
to give the unconscious woman repeat-
ed shocks of electricity. After several
shocks had been given she began to
flinch and soon opened her eyes and be-
gan to mutter.
As soon as she was able to swallow,
an antidote andemetic were given her,
also a strong cup of coffee. This soon
had its effect, and she was placed upon
her feet and walked up, and down the
room by her husband until she had
fully regained her senses.
Mrs. Leimer has been a great sufferer—
from neuralgia, and becoming discour-
aged she at noon yesterday visited
Tomlinson’s drug store and asked for
an” ounce of laudanum, stating that she
had been in the habit of taking it for
neuralgia. The drug was given her
and she returned to her rooms over
Wadhams’ market, and at 4 o’clock, as
she stated, took the whole contents m-
the bottle, with the purpose of ending
her life and troubles.
Mrs. Leimer is about 30 years of age,
and came to South Norwalk from Dan-
bury with '
ago. It is quite \probable that she
would have succeeded in her attempt
had her husband not come home at the
time he did and promptly summoned
Dr. Allen. ‘.
Mrs. Leimer had recovered from the
drug at 9 o’clock last night, and is all
right again to-day. '

RickbecK—Holmes.
Lewis Rickbeck,of Middletown,came
to this city on Wednesday, accompanied
by a young lady-named Miss Cora A.
Holmes. He called on Town Clerk
Smith and procured a marriage license;
he then repaired to the Methodist par-
sonage where he and Miss Holmes were
united in marriage by Rev. Mr. Wyatt.
The groom at one time lived in Nor-
walk With his mother and was employed
as o messenger boy in the Western
Union Telegraph office. To ‘a friend
he said that the boys in Middletown
had arranged to make it warm for him
in case he got married in that place
andhe sort of checkmated them by
coming to Norwalk to have the cere-
mony performed by his former pastor.
He hinted that a calthumpian band
would be likely to give him a serenade
to-night. .
An Honest Man.
On Wednesday, “Tommy” Hopper
of camera fame, visited the post-office
and invested two cents in a postage
stamp. On leaving the office he also
left his umbrella, and so intent was he
in reading the Breckenridge divorce
proceedings he did' not miss the um-
brella until a young man called at his
den in the GAZETTE building, and re-
turned the same. Tommy thinks he
has discovered with his eye what Diog-
enes sought for in vain with a lantern.
The umbrella was perhaps not worth
more than thirty cents but “Tommy”
gave .the finder a plugged silver dollar
for his honesty.

CHINAMEN BU SPECTED.
; ___._
Evidence That Susie Martin Was Butchered
' by an Oriental.
NEW YORK, March 22.—A new theory re-
garding the butchery of 11-year-old Susie
Martin is being considered by the police.
It is that the crime is of oriental charac-
ter, and the murderer was a Chinaman.
So confident are they in this belief that
most of the other clews are being prac-
tically abandoned. 1v ost of their energies
are bent upon the Chi ese theory, and they
hope to make arrests within 24 hours.‘
There are many things to indicate that
the Chinese theory is the correct one. Even -
'before the autopsy was held it was shown
conclusively that the sawing off ‘of the
girl‘s legs and arms and the severing of
the head from the body was not done by
any man or men accustomed to cutting up
cattle. From the stab wounds in the girl's
side, which of themselves would have
caused death, to the cutting up of the
body, the attempt to boil it and afterward
destroy it by fire, the evidence all points
to the oriental th eery.
The autopsy more than strengthened .
this view. in the stomach of the child
was found a wooden toothpick of oriental
make. ' It was proved beyond a doubt the
child could not have swallowed it.
J In connection with this theory several
links are at hand in a chain ”of circumstan-
tial evidence. Complaints by the score
have been made against ()hinamen in vari-
.ous parts of the city, particularly in the
section where Susie Martin lived, that the
orientals were in the habit of enticing
young girls into their laundries.
Age has been no protection for the little
girls, and some as young as 8 years have
been found in the places. Several China-
men have beenrconvicted of such ofienses,
and angry fathers and mothers have
wrechd the stores where their daughters
were found.
