So able and fearless a democrat as Col. McClure 1ises to say that the first g1eat necessity of the country is to have the tariff issue settled. The )Ic- Kinley bill would be better than the pi esent condition of uncertainty. The Democratic leaders should un- delstand that if this season shall close without tariff legislation there can be no tarifi' reform during the pres sent Congress, and the Democratic party will not soon again be entrusted with the power of legislating for the nation. There was no one issue so distinctly presented to the American people, and so cleaily decided by them. as the issue of taiifi reform; and it was discussed 3’11 all its details before the people (1211- iur the campaign by the very men who 11.; now higgling in the Senate and Ilouse to protect certain local interests they happen to 1epresent. Mr. Gor« man did not demand in the campaign that coal should be protected; Mr. Smith did not demand that iron ore should be protected; Mr. Murphy did not demand that collars and cuffs should be protected, nor did the Loui- siana Senators demand high protection for sugar. All of them urged the adop- tion of a revenue tariff and none mi:- understand what a revenue tarifi‘ meant. If ‘liis session of Congress shall fail to pass 11 tarifi‘ refmm bill it will simply be. 111: flee to the world of the utter fail- ure of the Democratic party to carry out its own pledges to the peoplev' when full power had been conferred upon it. It would not only defeat the Democracy in all the Northern States at the next November election, and probably over- throw their supremacy in several South- ern States, but it would make their de- feat in ’96 an absolute certainty. The judgement of the people would be that thsDemocratic party is utterly unfitted' to rule the Republic and it would be dismissed from authority for incompe- tency. There is yet one chance for the Dem- ocratic leaders to rescue their party from annihilation and to end the busi- ness uncertainty that now paraly zes the » country. Comment, industry and trade would be quickened at once if a new tariff bill were passed and it would be of little consequence whether the Senate or House bill were. adopted. There is growing confidence in all busi- ness dream that business must speedily improve whenever the tarifi' dispute shall have been settled. A new tarifl‘ would revive industry, and trade; defeat 01' the bill must continue the present sore paralysis that is halting the ener- gies of the people, and they would just- ly (him: from power the party that shall be responsihle for such a consuming wrong.” But why not be content with our pres- ent- tariff and the prOSperity it gave the Nation before a threat to overthrow it paralyzed all business. .1..-“ _____..,._- __. The Deadly Grade Crossing. Nor walk has had another serious ad- monition of the importance of the dic- tum that “the deadly grade crossing mustgo.’ That Mr. Larmer was not instantly killed in his accident at the Catherine street crossing is a marvel. His narrow escape from instant death is, however, but one among many that have occurred in the past at the rail- road grade crossings bet-ween Norwalk Bridge and \Vinnipauk. It is high time this terrible menace to the lives and propert‘ of our citizens was ended. This can easilig be effected and at a comparatively small cost. It has been repeatedly given out by the Consoli- dated railroad, that the company were ready to join any town in abolishing all partic-iilarly dangerous grade crossings on any of its lines, upon the town pay— ing half of the met. This arrangement should at once be entered into by our town 11;: the elimination of the railroad crossing- .11. Cross, Catherine, New Canaan road aid Water streets. The grade crossings in front and rear of the old Pair Grounds really ought to be included, but as these highways are much Tutu: used than the first three, they can more safely be deferred. But in the near future these crossings should, and no doubt will be, either bridged or do; under for highway passage. At C1 055 shot. the Danbury track is so eleVatcd that a tunnel can be easily and cheaply cut undei it. At the Cath- erine street crossing a brldge would have 1.;- be tulUM 11 01 or the track as it runs through a deep cut. This need not be an expensive structure, but whatever the cost, it shOuid be done ahd done immediately. At the New Canaan road crossing a tunnel under the track would be the most feasible and best, and need not cost a large sum. , If our town is to be made to pay but one half the expense, the cost 1158. trivial matter in view of the safety these changes would secure. It is the wish of great numbers of our citizens that our selectmen should set about secur- ing these important improvements with- out unnecessary delay. In the earlier days of the Danbury & I T he Magic Touch Hood’s Sarsaparilla You smile at the idea. But if you are a sufferer from Dyspepsia And Indigestion, try a bottle, and be- fore you have taken half a dozen doses, you will involuntarily think, and no doubt exclaim, That oust Hits it!” “That soothing effect is a magic touch!” Hood’s Sarsaparilla. gently tones and strengthens the stomach and digestive organs, invi crates the liver, creates a. natural, hea thy desire for food, gives refreshing sleep, and in short, raises the health: tone of the entire system.

Now with dozens of passenger and freight trains rushing over the road at a speed of from thirty to fifty miles an hour, the conditions are en- tirely changed and the risks of these' grade crossings are at tlreir maximum. Where the conditions are so favora- ble for the abrogation of these grade crossings as they are over Cross and Catherine streets and New Canaan road, andwhich are the most perilous, (for in neither of these can the trains be seen until they are upon you,) there is no excuse for the danger being longer permitted to exist; .. The Consolidatedroad‘is- already con- sidering plan's by’ which the danger to teams crossing overith’eir plank covered tunnel 011 Wall street and the defiling and suffocating nuisance of their soft coal smoke may be obviated, and this improvement cannot be too quickly made. A Torrid Sunday. We are prone. to forget. and yet we doubt if "ye oldest inhabitant” can re- call so terrible _a July day as was Sun- day. The heat of Saturday extended far into the night and at sunrise city thermometers registered above eighty and by nine o’clock were above ninety. From that the temperature ranged from ninety-eight to one hundred and two in the shade in different Nor-walk locali- ties. The heat was something terrible to infants and .invalids and the poor horses. But what was suffering here in Norwalk was agony and death to thousands in New York city, in the tenement districts and among those un- able to get out of the blistering heat of the city. Over one'hundred thousand city people packed Coney‘ Island and not less than ten thousand were babies. Great numbers were overcome by the heat on Saturday'and Sunday and hun- dreds died from sun strokes and dis- eases incident to the long period of in- tense humidity and heat. Here in Norwalk, all who could, left for the shore, and a, large crowd packed the City of Albany and sailed out into the sound and acrOss to Long Island. Large numbers were mothers with their sick and suffering infants. Our horse car drivers humanelyhad wet sponges placed between theyears of their heated steeds. Thousands during the day and evening took the trolley for Roton Point and the Knob, where cool breezes braced up the exhausted energies of children and adults. A prominent Norwalk physician, by the way, states that one Of the very best safeguards against cholera infan- tum and the debility and bowel diseases incident to early childhOOd and the sec- ond summer teething period, is to take the children on board the trolley and 1ide to the shore and remain, if possi- ble, all day at the salt water and return at early evening. He says there is a tonic in the saline breezes that brace up a child’s debilitated system beyond all the powers of medicinal remedies. It unquestionvbfix adds so greatly to the comfort .-l. icubl’. of child and parent that all 1': ho possibly can, should utilize this easy and cheap method of recuper- ation, especially so long as the present torrid heat continues. Physicians in Springfield earnestly recommend rid- ,ing on the swift going trolley cars in that city as a means of promoting health and it is no unusual thing to see cars and trailers filled almost exclusively with mothers and nurses and their ba- bies, riding out to Chicopee and return for a cool and health‘and strength giv- ing airing on any day of the week. Livery horses were also in great de- mand here yesterday. Every steed in Dann’s stable ‘had’ been engaged for the day prior to nine o’clock. Gregory had three funerals to provide hacks for in the afternoon and besides all his own and his brother’sstOck, he had to call on Dann to help him out and even send to Westport and New Canaan for carriages. Chuiyh services were sensibly cut short in most places of worship,.to the relief of the panting ,and vigorously fanning worshippers in attendance. I . Sunday was a day of unusual suffer- ing, much illness, and many deaths. ‘ .1- \ Temperance and Catholicism. Nothing in recent years in the way of temperance reform has arisen, which promises so jmuch as the attitude Of the Pope’s special representative to this . country, Mgr. Satolli and the wide en- dorsement his position is receiving from Catholic prelates— throughout the Unit- ed States. Wednesday the Catholic Total Absti- nence Union of America began its twenty- -fourth general Convention with an attendance of 400 delegates at St. Paul, Minnesota. An important incident of the conven- tion was the vigorous and ,very hearty way Archbishop Ireland endorsed Sa- tolli in his opposition to the liquor . trailic. He strongly denounced the running of saloons by Catholics and said “the Pope is pleased with the work of the Catholic Total Abstinence Unicn”and declared that “His Holi- ness was emphatically against Catholics having anything to do with the liquor traffic.” “The Church demands that its mem- bers be temperate,” continued the Archbishop. “America has 'set her face against the saloon, the den of corrupt politics, and any church which will not come out for temperance is an odious excrescence of the soil. The great self- deniul to-day is in the pledge. Be charitable, but the best charityto prac- tice is to lead your brothers in the ranks of temperance.” “I am not looking for the millennium, but we can reduce the number of drinking men so that it will be the ac cepted saying that no drunkards are among the Catholics. ' Speak to the vic- tims of the drink habit. They have the principles of faith in them and only need a helping hand.” “The American saloon is the vile den of intemperance. It is laden with blas- phemy and sensuality. I make no re- ference to the personal characters of saloon keepers. but; the business is bad. It is the enemy of good and the coun- try. Let the day soon come when we shall not see the name of aCatholic above the portals of a saloon.” “We must have all Catholics in office arraigned against the saloon element and its interests. Political slavery is hideous, and especially S) when it brings slavery to alcohol.” . "Those in the saloon traffic ‘should seek a more worthy calling. The Church holds up a high ideal. 'Will Catholics rise to. this high ideal?” ————— ~49— The Heated Spell. The present heated term has been the most severe of modern times. It has now continued, with rare interrup- tions, for twenty days,and seems likely to last longer without material change in the ,temperature. Not only lial' the weather been extremely hot, but the humidity has been excessive, making it one of the most oppressive and fatal heated terms we have had for yearsi Notwithstanding the object lessons presented to the public in sunstrokes . ‘ least respected of Chinese soldiery. They and other fatal cases of heat from year to year, there are many who still per sist in disregarding the necessary pre- cautions to assure reasonable ‘safety from oppressive weather. All who can do so should avoid exposure to the sun, especially during the hottest part of the day, but many are compelled to ex- pose themselvcs to excessive heat by pursuing their daily avocations. All who are thus exposed need to exercise unusual caution to avoid sunstroke and other serious effects of the hot Spell. The head should be especially pro- tected, and as it can be done in a very cheap and simple way, those who fail thus to protect themselves are liable to suffer serious consequences from ne- glect. A cabbage leaf worn in the hat is the best possible protection from the hot sun, and a frequently moistened handkerchief will answer the purpose- Not only should men protect them- selves, but they should protect the horses they employ. The simplest method of protecting horses is to have a little linen awning stretched between the ears to permit a current of :air to cool the head. Horses should be wa- tered frequently, but never allowed to drink as much as they would. Excessive heat produces many dis- eases which are not common in ordi- nary weather, and this calls for ex- treme caution in diet. Vegetables be- come stale very quickly in hot weather. and there is no more certain source of summer complaints than the use of vegetables which are not entirely fresh. People should carefully avoid excessive eating even of healthy food, and they should be quite as careful to guard against excessive drinking of ice water. Meats should be used sparingly, and great care should be exercised to drink with the utmost moderation. Espec- ially avoid all the tempting cooling drinks which are Offered on every side. The best drink is pure water and as little of it as will satisfy the thirst. It is impossible to avoid all the perils of a protracted heated term, but it is quite possible to reduce the evils to the minimum and thus preserve the health of many, and in some instances save life. Fortunate is the man who has'a well of cool, pure water in which no ice is required to render it palatable. If city water must be used for drinking, boil it and place in the ice box, but put no ice into it, especially for children. >———-—-—- “Lightning from a clear sky struck a tree near the Bridgeport jail on Mon- day,”says J ailer Tibballs, and he “points to the tree as a proof of the statement. locks and wore » v .‘ ‘ WEEKLY NORWALK ’GAZET Mrs A BIG F lGll1 1...lFGTEll.

Views of an American Officer “'110 Served In the Talping Rebellion. NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—Captain George W. O’Hair of Virginia City, Now, can offer some interesting information (about the fighting qualities of > Chinese troops, now so much in question. He was an officer of the government troops during the Taiping rebellion that nearly dis- rupted China a. generation ago. Chatting with some friends in the Im- perial hotel, the captain said when the conversation turned upon the Chinese- Japanese war: “The Chinese as a race are proverbial cowards, but some honorable exceptions to this quality have come under my ob« servatlon, and the behavior of their sol— diers is largely afiected by circumstances. If the Chinese are a peace loving and tim- crous people, it is due perhaps to the long centuries of quiet which the empire has enjoyed, while western nations have been reared in the cradle of warfare. “I was less than 20 years old and in for anything when in 1861 the present vice- roy, Li Hung Chang, was bracing himself for the final effort to down theb Taiplng rebellion. That was one of the mOst curi- ous revolts in all history. A nobleman ' who had failed to pass the customary lit- erary examination required to hold his peerage gathered a band of malccntents about him in southwest China and rav- aged the empire for 14 years. “They would probably have overthrown the dynasty if the government had not employed European and American officers - and done something to put their troops on a modern basis. fAny young 'felicw of in- telligence who wanted the job could get a colonelcy, and I tool-r one and held it for two years of almost continuous fighting. “My regiment «was of Cantonese, the were armed at first with ancient match- cuirasses of quilted cotton and shields and buckles of wickerwork. Later a partial equipment of muskets was obtained.

After awhile, when the effect of a few volleys were seen, our troops braced up, and I have been in several us gallant charges with the bayonet as western troops ever made. in success the men were apt to be fierce and cruel and had to be re- strained from ’ruroaritles. “I don’ t know 11 bother I wholly indorse General Ward, an American and Li Hung Chang’s first iriiiitary instructor, when he said that he could take Chinese where white troops would not go, but I am sat- isfied that the 'Japs will have more than a rabbit hunt on their hands in whipping China. “The Chinese stand fatigue and phys- ical suffering well. They are silent under wounds, and as they have religious scru« ples against amputation often prefer to die when a s‘urgcon could save them.” Office 01 .1. N.
