, ' Iz: " Truth above in“ things.’ ’ FBilDAY MAY 11, 1894. #4 [Entered in the Post-Office as a Newspaper.[ They Still Love. Him. The reception of Colonel Breckin- ridge in Lexington Saturday night shows that he has lost none of the love and affection of his people. On the contrary, the trials and tribulations which have rolled over his soul have drawn them cloaer to him and there is i ” every indication that they will stand. by him to a man. His audience had nothing but hisses for the Ministerial Union and jeers and groans for Judge Bradley. When the Washington court was mentioned by the eloquet speaker men in the rear of the hall called out that the Judge should be hanged. And there is no doubt that this was the sen- timent in the orchestra chairs even up to the front row. If the Colonel’s Lexington meeting at all represents the sentiment of his district, and it probably does, he will be triumphantly returned to Congress, and in time elected United States Senator. —COO The Beam and the Mote. People who read thenewspapers quite closely will doubtless remember how frequently and willingly members of the New York police force commented on the inability of their London breth- ern to capture that prince of murderers, whose only cognomen was “Jack the Ripper.” Indeed,if half the opinions expressed by Gotham’s blue coats were earnest, the average reader could hard- ly do otherwise than believe that all mystified and terrified London had to do to secure relief was to engage one or two of New York’s "finest.” Just now it would be quite in order for the “Lou- non hobbies” to ask Superintendent Byrnes why it Is that his sleuths, who were forever and at long range showing how easy it was to capture the “Ripper” have failed to find out the truth as to three rather notable homicides that have occurred recently. A little girl well known to many people and clad in gar- ments which could be identified beyond question lost her life at the hands of some villian, but for a million dollars the police could not tell who the villian was. Miss Martha Fuller, a typewriter, died from a pistol wound, to-day, after weeks devoted to w.. .t seems to have been investigation, the author of her death is still unknown. Gottlieb Grob was murdered in a house, every room of which was occupied at the.time of the ‘ crime, but the murderer is still free. What is that scriptural reference to the mote which is in our brother's eye. '00—— Hill and Cleveland Harmonious. A few newspapers are strong in their condemnation of Senator Hill because he insists upon the: entire abandon- ment Of the income-tax proposition, now such ii. prominent feature in the tariff bill. Some of these critics will have it that Senator Hill is insincere in the matter and that if the income-tax feature were stricken out of the meas- ure he would still be found with the opposition—not because he believes in the principals to which most of those in the Opposition are pledged, but be- cause he desires to embarrass the Pres- ident and to discredit him and sup porters whenever an opportuni 0 do so presents itself. In company with the criticism is a great deal of abuse and many threats. The senior Senator from New York and other democrats who agree with him as to the tariff bill and its income-tax appendage are in- formed that the country is only waiting for a chance to spring at their throats and put a stop forever to their political usefulness or mischief; it all depends upon the point of view. As a matter of fact, the loll‘g end of the argument itative lever is in the hands of those democrats who insist upon material amendment of the‘measure now before the Senate. The bill does not in any way resemble the legislation which was outlined so clearly by the Chicago cont vention, and the income-tax feature, to which Senator Hill so strenuously and properly objects, is not in accord with the declarations of either of the two big political parties. The populists fa- vor it, but there is no reason why‘any -~"'straight-out democrat or republican should do else than speak and work and vote against the most unfair and impracticable variety of taxation ever proposed. Laying aside every other consideration and paying no attention ‘ to the charges that the tax would be a sectional one and productive of class differences, it is enough to know that there is no necessity for the revenue which . would be produced. If the tariff and internal-revenue estimates as presented by Senator Voorhees are correct, there will be a sufficiency of revenue without that which it is calcu- lated would be produced by the tax which Senator Hill and other demo- crats are being so roundly abused for opposing. Complicated official machin- ery will be needed before a dollar of tax can besqueezed from unwilling citizens, and out of this unwillingness, already very apparent, offensive situa- tions will develop until the govern ment, through its; tax-collecting repre sentatives will really become odious to good and loyal citizens who deserve . . muMnIvA v“ . M-‘-u N LW - 'v' 3»~ua~_fi . much more of consideration; at the hands of, the law-making powers than they have been getting recently: ' Sen- ator Hill stands on solid ground when he assails the incometax proposition and there is the highest authority;- for the statement that the senator is in strict accord with President Cleveland in his opposition to the income tax part of the tariff bill. Should it finally pass Congress it is now believed the bill will be vetoed.- Protectio’n Vindicat‘ed. , . The result of the tinkering which has been going on of late on the proposed tariff bill has been made public, and while it is a dry subject offstudy for a busy man, it will not take onelong to feel satisfied, in a general, way, that it is, on the whole, a further approach toward the law now in force’than eith- er the House bill or that prOposed by the Senate Committee. And. this as- cension toward the present. policy, though especially noticeable in sugar and iron and steel, is by no means con- fined to them. The average of the changes lock decidedly toward approv- al of Protection as a policy. The Democratic platform pronounced in“ favor of ~a. tariff for revenue only, and whatever may have been the secret intentions of the Democratic leaders, they managed to give thegeneral pub- lic'the impression that they would‘push matters very near to free trade, thus contributing largely ,td the nervous state of mind that made t .e panic of last year so widespread and'obstinate. And now, a year and a=half after the election that placedthem in power, they have apparently reached a con- clusion as to what. they propose to do. That conclusion—the bill as it now stands—is a complete confesswn of the strength and prudence of Protection as a national policy. .No one ought to feel any disposition to chaff theDemo- crats for having failed'to keep‘ their pledges, but rather credit them with the ability to see, when brought face to face with the queSti'on,‘ thevwisdom of protection. ' ' " ’- ‘ Business-Energy. The times are hard and business has to be forced, but the rewards go to those who have the energy and enter- prise to reach after them and deserve them. The Gaznrrnls. advertising col- umns have been well patronized during this long season of depression because business men have had the good sense to perceive the advantage of making frequent appeals to the public. They have reasoned sagaciously, that when trade is slack what there is of it goes to those who have the courage and energy to ask for it. This is true of every line of business. Merchants who are making strenuous efforts to stimu- late and invigorate languid trade by persistent and judicious advertising are getting the largest share. of the-busi- ness of the day. Those who lack spirit and exhaust their energies in complain- ing about the condition of trade, with- out displayin‘g real enterprise in com- peting for it, are steadily losing ground. .In view of the unceasing and steadily increasing business-which the Gaznrru is receiving fromiitd-‘iadvertising pa- trons in this period 'of depression and uncertainty, it is proper‘jfor us to com- mend their example to merchants in every line of trade. It is a- fatal mis- take for business men to lose courage in dull times audjto imagine” that trade is so bad that it is useless to, attempt to work it up by commanding public at. tention through legitimate advertising and expedients. It is the concurrent testimony of all thetmost energetic merchants in trade that the returns from advertising were never more di- rect and speedy‘th'an during the pres- ent .year of depression.

Of all the strikes that have ever then place in this country no other one has had less of pOpular sympathy than the strike of coal miners which is now on. There are times when the exercise of the privilege of quitting work has in it many of the elements of propriety, for there are tyrannical employers, and protests are occasionally necessary and right; but it passes the understanding of most people why more than two hundred thousand miners should go out on a strike just now. The past twelve months have been filled with trouble for the business interests of the country. There has been and still is unexampled depression in almost every line of industry. Distrust has troubled ‘ the national mind, money has hastened into profitless and trade-paralyzing se- clusion, and, as a natural sequence, misery has taken up its residence in thousands of homes where its gautn shape had never before been seen. And yet while the great popular outcry was for work, these miners forsook their employment and deliberately entered the ranks of the idle and the suffering. Many of the strikers were doubtless illy paid, and it is conceded by the operators that there are inequalities in the wage scale, but at this period it would seem as though industry which was recompensed at from $2 to $4 per day was infinitely preferable to com- plete idleness and a condition closely akin to pauperism. But bad as is this state of affairs for the miners them- selves, there,0 is a condition infinitely worse confronting a much greater num- ber of people who are now at work and who want to continue so. As a natural result of the coal strike, the price of fuel has moved upward, while the sup. ply has diminished to such an extent that in less than another week very many manufacturing establishments will be compelled to shut down, many railroads be forced to discharge thou- sands of their laboring forces, many vessels remain uselessly moored to empty wharves. No one who loves his fellow-man can view without concern ,this probability of greatly augmented ' distress. Cannot some compromise be speedily reached?

Jen- nings at Roton Hill, came near being the scene of a tragedy late Wednesday afternoon. The hustler, Ralph Webb, employed by Mr. Jennings, went into the stall of a' young horse and had barely entered when the brute jumped against him and forced him against the side of the stall. The pressure was so great that when released the poor man fell to the floor. As soon as he fell the horse Jumped upon him and began stamping his life out and only the narrowness of the stall prevented the horse from kill- Ing the man. The hostler, although nearly uncon- scious, succeeded in crawling out of the stall and called for assistance, which brought Mr. Jennings to the rescue. He was assisted into the house and Mr. Jennings immediately drove to South Nor-walk after Dr. J. M. Coburn, who responded at once and made an exam- Ination of the injured man. The doctor found that while no bones were broken the man was badly in- jured, and as he vomited a quantity Of blood it is feared that-he Is hurt in- ternall y. Seriously injured. Charles H. Hoyt, superintendent of the. Norwalk Alms house met with an accident early this morning that will keep. him confined to the house for some time if indeed it does not result ' fatally. In company with Hattie Hyatt, a girl . about fourteen years of age who lives on the Westport road, he was drivrng to this city, and when near the corner of the Westport road and Newtown avenue the holdback of the harness broke and the horse ran. ' Mr. Hoyt was thrown over the dash- board and struck headfirst on the curb, the wheels of the wagon passing over him. The Hyatt girl was thrown out of the wagon and struck on her side, but she fortunately escaped with a'few abrasions on her face and limbs. Mr. Hoyt was.not so lucky, and it is feared'has sustained internal injuries. Both Mr. Hoyt and the Hyatt girl were helped Into the house of Mrs. Conrad Staub near by and a physician ' summoned. _Later they were taken to their respective homes in a coach. - Dr. Gregory made an examination of Mr. Hoyt’s injuries, and is of the opin- Ion that If hehas not received internal injuries he Will pull through all right. The unfortunate man is affected with heart trouble and for some time has not been In the best of health. . The horse continued down East ave- nue to the residence of Charles 0. O.
