A Promising Oyster, Season.
All the indications in regard to the
oyster interests at present, point to an
exceedingly good season this fall. Th
oysters are prime and in good condi-
tion, and the difficulties which beset
the 05 star interests last spring now be-
ing removed, the oystermen are look-
ing forward to a big and prospe1ous
fall business. This has become one of
Norwalk’s largest and most important
business interests and anything serious-
ly afiecting its success and prosperity
affects the well-being of our town. Suc-
cess therefore, to the oystermen.
The Tariff Bill.
By gagging debate the House suc-
ceeded on Monday in passing the tarifi'
. bill just as it came from the Senate,
notwithstanding the President’s letter
declining that they could not accept
the Senate Tarifi' D111 without the aban-
donment of Democratic principles and
1.2: betrayal of Democratic pledges;
“about “partyperfidy and party dis-
honor.” '
This bill destroys several industries
altogether and cripples others almost
beyond recovery. The wool growing
industry is doomed to annihilation.
The woolen manufacturing industry,
which supports three-quarters of a mil-
lion people and through which about
eighty. millions of dollars have been
_ paid out yearly in wages, is so disas-
' . trously afiected by this detestable bill
that sweeping rlec notions of wages will
be made necessary in establishments
remaining open, while 1- many factories
will be obliged to close. The great
lumber interest, employing hundreds
of thousands of wor kingmen, is reduced
to competition with the lower wages of
Canada; and the salt interest, so impor-
tant to Naew York and Michigan, is de-
prived of all protection. Tin plate, in
whichAmericans have been fast becom-
ing independent of England, is thrown
to the British Cerberus. Directly or
indirectly this ”measure afiects injuri-
ously the whole population of the Uni-
led States, and yet, notwithstanding
lb? immense interests involvewl it was
forced through Congress by silencing
protest and genetics Opposition.

\ The Corn Scare.
The recent EXtEuulidlflal-y rise in the
price of corn, ostensibly because of dis-
couraging crop prospects, was note-
worthy only for one thing, that the
price went above that of wheat. Mere
speculative rises have been frEquent in
the prices of all the cereals as well as in
provisions of every kind, but in most
instarces there have been some proper
relations between the bread- producing
grains upon a speculator’ 8 market.
This unusual feature of the recent ad-
vance in corn gives rise to a good deal
of doubt as to the truth of the report
that the sharp advance was the report
of buying orders from country specula-
tors. Beal countrymen, that 1s farmers
and those trading in farm products,
know that of all the bread grains, corn
isleast injured by heat and drought.
It revels in hct weather and, beinga
deep- rooted planl, draws moisture from
along distance below even a parched
surface. They likewise are familiar
with the fact that for almost every pur'—
pose but that of distilling,wheat is worth
more than corn, and that a rise which
sends the price of corn above that of
wheat must be speculativeand fictitious.
The country speculators who are not
aware of; these facts can hardly have
been born and reared among the farms.
Theta long continuance of the exist-
ing drought may reduce the corn crop
bel " the average is very possible, but
there is as yet little evidence of serious
damage to the crop, and it would be
well for the public, not to be frightened
at the abnormal rates. Let the pro-
fessional bulls and bears elevate and
depress the market as they can, and
have all the fun and profit from the op-
eration. They can get out of it ; but
the countryman who is beguiled into
paying more for corn than the ruling
prices for wheat, must be a very green
countryman indeed.

sion.
plomats.
Among the many stately homes at the
capital, the owners of which are members
of Congress, the residence of Senator John
Sherman is conspicuous. Some reckless
guessers have said that his new white
stone house in Franklin square cost a
million of dollars, which, of course, it
did not, but probably it did cost a bun-
dred thousand. It is very beautiful, and
the Senator and his wife and an adopted
daughter live there. The millionor more
that John Sherman has accumulated he
has made in \Vashington real estate
chiefly: and, for a sagacious man with
money, real estate here has offered many
opportunities for profitable speculation.
Senator Sherman is said to have given
up the idea of ever being President, be-
lieving that he .is too old to endure the
strain, but if a nomination came to him
he would hardly refuse. The. Senator
says he has received his warning that he
must husband his physical and mental
resources, yet his step is spry and his
tongue, too, for when he does talk in the
Senate, his knowledge, no matter what
the subject, seems to be superior to that
of almost any other man upon the floor.
The Senator, though, does not work so
hard as formerly. He is making things
easier for himself.
The recent resignation of Andrew 1').
\Vhite, Minister to Russia. 1'1'” thv
fact that no one of hi. {1, 2 11-.»
(among them Simon Cameron ol‘ .1. .-. . yl-
vania) ever completed his term of nmce.
Mr. \Vhite followed an invariable prece-
dent when l1e resigned after two years of
service. For some reason the Russian
Mission has always been spoken of as an.
“unlucky” Mission. Every man who has
held it has died in office 01' resigned. For
many years it was considered almost a
perquisite of the State of Pennsylvania,
but it has been held by men from the
South and from the New England States.
It will not surprise anyone if Mr. Breck-
inridge leaves St. Petersburg even sooner
than Mr. \Vhite has, done. Mr. Breckin—
ridge is notoriously a. poor man; and Mr.
Cleveland did him a. doubtful kindness
when he appointed him to a mission
which pays only $17,500 a year in one of
the most expensive capitals of Europe. So
it will not surprise the friends of the
Arkansas statesman if he sends in his
resignation in the first year ofth ser-
vice.
, It is an astonishing fact that. there are
in the House today only three men who
have been appointed to dipldmatic posts
and in the Senate there are none; In the
early history of Congress it, was a com-
mon thing for a member ofthe Senate or
the House to resign his place to accept a
diplomatic appointment, and, returning
from his post, to become again a candidate
for Congress. It w as usual' 1n those days
to find diplomatic material in Congress.
.» It ls becoming less and less a custom 'of
the President of the United States to ap-
point to high office men "who are holding
places in Congress. ,
The recommendation by the Senate Com-
mittee 011 Pensions that Mrs. Ada. L.
Schwz1 tka, widow of Lieutenant Frederick
Schwatka, be given a pension of $30 a
month, w as thus spoken of by Thomas A,
Markham of Cheyenne:
‘-‘I knew Schwatka very well. He was
one of the most jovial, whole-souled fel-
lows I ever met. He saw hard service in
Indian campaigns in 'Wyoming, Nebraska,
and Dakota in the seventies, but his re-
putation dates from the time when he
took charge of the expedition to the
frozen forth to se..rch for relics of Sir
John Franklin’s expedition. .He cleared
up the mystery of the loss of that famous
explorer, madea sledge journey of over
3,000 miles, and discovered a river which
was named for President Hayes. Subse~
quent explorations in Alaska gave him
additional fame. He afterward took to
drink, and separated from his family, but
after taking :1 course for dipsomania he
gave up the bottle and became a total
abstainer. ”
The breezy Post, that hits where it will
in both parties, tells this story concerrr
ing an event the. politicians will not soon
forget:
I‘l’ith the echo of his masterly defence,
of President Cleveland still ringing in
the ears of his colleagues, Senator Hill
valked into the cloak-room and dropped
into an easy chair to chat with Senator
Smith. Presently a page appeared, carry-
ing a note enclosed in a. large square e11—
v elope addressed to Senator Hill.
. “Ali, ” said \11'{S,mlt‘1 with a; who of
inquiry, “a11i11vit:ition to dine with the
President to— night? ”
Senator Hill looked up from the note
with a twinkle in his eye. “Not at this
said he.
A few weeks ago a wild and lurid book
was let loose upon VS ashington with the
plagiaristic and blasphemous title, “If
Christ Came to Congress." It represents
that a pretty Southern girl comes to
\Vashingl i 1 to secure employment in one
of the departments. She falls into a
great deal 01' trouble, and this book of
something like four hundred pages, lur-
idly illustrated, recites these troubles, or
most of them, anl leaves the others to
the imagination. '!"1u author makes many
startling re! 'lutiuas, or alleged revela-
tions, about llile private lives of" Senators,
Representatives and .even Judges and
Presbyterian clergy111en,_and it is, in gen-
eral, the kind of book' 0116 Would expect
from the title. As no one is paid to read
it, the book is not likely to have a wide
circulation.
