NOTICE Norwalk opera , Houses “truth above all things.’ - FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1896. —4 Entered. in the Post Office as a Newspaper. Colored and Indian Soldiers. “And the colored troops fought ' nobly” was the concluding sentence of a graphic pen picture of one of the important engagements of our great war. The men of whom those words were written were, on that occasion, under fire for the first time, and their brave bearing confirmed the success of the experiment of enlisting the “contra- bands” in the Union Army. “And the colored troops fought nobly” from that time on until the conflict ended. Meanwhile the great body of the negroes remained quietly at their homes in the South, caring for the wives and children of their absent owners with almost unvarying fidelity. Thus the war records of the blacks on both sides of theline between the loyal and the Confederate States was creditable to the race. The history of our little army since the volunteers were mustered out and our fighting force settled down to normal conditions, furnishes an inter- , esting illustration of the relative apti» tude of the Indians and the negroes for regular military service. After a fair trial the former are condemned, while the latter have firmly established the reputation for soldierly qualities which they won in the war time. During the Harrison adminstration it was deemed expedient to try the exper- iment oi-enlisting Indians. .But from the first it was found next to impossible to induce the red men to enter the ser- vice. The total of enlisted Indians, about a year ago, was 825, but they have been dropping out and new enlistments have been stopped, so that the total is now about 150 men in two companies on detached service at Fort Sill. All of these will 11ch finished their terms of enlistment in a short time and will go back to their old life On the reservation. fl’iic War Department, finding the ex- periment a failure, will make no further k‘fi‘OI‘t to utilize the aboriginals for mil- itary service. It would appear that these people still retain some of the most pronounced characteristics of their "untamed and untamable progen- itors”. The rigid discipline that is indispensable in the army, is at war with the nature of the Indian. He abhors cleanliness, detests order, and leathes restraint. On the other hand, complete and gratifying success has attended the en- listment of colored men in the regular army. There are now two full cavalry regiments of these troops, the Ninth and Tenth, and should an opportunity occur, other regiments Will be organ- ized. The official reports state that the colored troops are efficient, that the men are not addicted to grumb- ling, that they are obedient and that their loyalty to their country knows no bounds. ‘ It. is as creditable to the colored men as it is gratifying to their white fellow citizens, that in war and in peace, in civil and in military life they are ready and able to do their duty as Americans. For a race that emerged from slavery a little more than thirty years ago, a race which prior to that recent emancipation had no history but'that of the African jungle, he capture and sale, the middle passage and bondage, the colored people of the United States are making won- derful progress, and immeasurably sur- passing the achievements of their ;, brethren in any other part of the world. Slavery is dead and the ban of almost universal condemnation rests on its grave. But there are few evils out of which good is not evolved. The c’olored people of the United States owe their present magnificent heritage and boundless opportunities to the capture and enslavement of their ancestors. Gold vs. Silver. _ As the States are represented in the Senate, the line of division between the gold and silver standards is made by the Potomac, the Ohio and the Mis- souri rivers. All of New England and ‘ the Middle States, including Delaware and Maryland, are for sound money, except that Pennsylvania is divided. The West Virginia Senators also are in this list, but every other State south of the Ohio'is for silver, only Kentucky, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas being divided, one Senator on each side. ' Going West, we..find Ohio. Wiscon- being misrepresented by two silver Senators, but from Minnesota out to the Pacific there is not a sound money Senator except one from Nebraska. This makes 17 States supporting the gold standard in the Senate, 21 for sil- ver-or 22 if we incl‘iide Utah—and 6 divided. In other words there are 39 sound money Senators, Delaware hav- ing one vacancy. and 48 for free silver. The former comprise 24 Republicans and 15 Democrats, and the latter 18 Republicans, 23 Democrats and‘7 Popu- lists. The new Western States recently admitted, have given the silver men easy control of the Senate. . Build Torpedo Boats. This is good time for the advccates of torpedo boats for coast defense to come to the front. The deficit inthe rev- enues is likely to make Congress cautious about voting large appropria- tions for new battle ships. Even it several of these armored giants are authorized. it will be at least three years before they can be completed. But it is possible to build fast sea- going torpedo craft in six months, and there are fully a dozen shipbuilding establishments in the United States capable of turning them out. Twenty of these wasps of ocean warfare can be constructed for the sum of money that it takes to create asingle battle ship. There is nota battle ship afloat that could live under the concerted at- tack of twenty torpedo boats. The country meeds more big armor- clads, but it needs the cheap and ef- fective torpedo vessels also. Germany has more than a hundred of these agile craft. England has one hundred and eighty. The United States possesses barely three. , ‘:_ - Congress should providexfon the con; struction of a whole flotilla of torpedo boats before the session cndslf f! Oyster Growers Meet,~; , _ The annual meeting of "the-Fifiyster Growers’ Association of Connecticut was held at the Mahackemo Hotel, South Norwalk, yesterday afternoon. Oyster planters from all over the state, were present. Reports were read by the various committees and the follow-- ing officers elected: President, H. [0. Bee of New Haven; vice president, Al- bert Hoyt of South Nor walk;'secretary, D. C. Sanford of New Havenitreasur- er, H. B. Stagg of Stratford. A com- mittee consisting of one member of the association from each section of the state was appointed for the purpose of investigating places where any mater- ial was being emptied into the Sound and in places where this material was found to be contaminating the water, steps would be taken to stop the empty- ing. This practically ended the busi-“ ness of the meeting. “The regular rou- tine work was gone through with and then a banquet was discussed. ..,,. The Oldest Bank President. Horace Staples. President of the First National Bank, of Westport, was elected to that office at the annual meet- ing of the stockholders yesterday,’for the 43d consecutive time, making him the oldest bank president in office in this state. Mr. Staples will be 94 years old the last day of this menth, and he also enjoys the distinction of being the oldest school teacher living in Con- necticut, and probably the oldest in New England. The election resulted as follows: President. Horace Staples; vice president, D. L. Woodworth; cashier, D. L. Woodworth; teller, A. G. Sherwood; directors, Horace Staples D. L. Woodworth, E. H. Nash, D. B. Bradley, Jr., H. A. Ogden, James A Hubbell, W. Paxton and J. A. Jennings. List of Phtents. List of Patents issued from the U. S.

They told me I would not live for many years, and advised salt water air at the seashore as the only thing that could be done for me. This appeared to help me. but for the last 10 years I have suffered excessively from most distressing pains aortas my kidneys, which were constantly there, until I began to take DOAN’S KIDNEY PILLS. and they .liuvc re- lieved my suffering to the extent I hardly expected would ever be my lot.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1 .-Thc steam- ship Mariposa has brought the following advices from Apia, Samoa: , ' ' . “The foreign residents of Apia are chafing under the restrictions imposed up- on them by the Berlin treaty and have memorializcd the consular representatives If three treaty powers, protesting against the impositions heaped upon them by its provisions. It is asserted that 85 per cent of the revenue is consumed in the payment of the salaries of useless officers; that the native Samouns, While receiving material benefit from the tax fund collected: from the foreigners, contribute nothingvtoward the support of the municipality, and. that the municipal council as at present con- structed is cumbersome and unnecessary. The petitioners, among whom are the leading foreigners of all nationalities, strongly protest against the payment of taxes and duties until the local govern- ment is reorganized and the expense of maintaining the same materially reduced. Unless the concessions demanded in the petition are granted, the agitators threaten to take such measures as will reduce the sources of revenue to such an extent that ‘10 present establishment cannot be main- tained. As a. result of the movement four of the six members of the municipal coun- cil have resigned. President Schmidt still clings to his office, and the $5,000 a your salary attached thereto, which amount is a first charge on all taxes and duties. “A certain amount of agitation is per- ceptible in the Anna and Atu districts,- and active rebellion there is shortly cx~ pcctcd. A public meeting has been called in Anna for an early date to consider the advisability of setting up a rebel govern- ment, with presumably Tamascse asking. The rule of Malictoa. appears to be too. weak to overawe the natives, and the Tu- amasaga clan. hitherto loyal, is waver— ing in its allegiance, it is said, and should it be represented at the coming meeting the Laupepu government will collapse, unless the treaty powers again bring their warships into action. “The grave of the late Robert Louis Stevenson on the mountain peak was lib~ erally decorated with flowers by his friends on Dec. 4, the anniversary of his death. “Apia was visited by a. severe earth- quake on Christmas day which wrought considerable damage to buildings. No fa- talities resulted.” Surveying. the Gulf of Honduras.
