THE MESSAGE.

We reluctantly surrender four OF
five columns of our space this morn
ing to the most prominent and i'm
portant parts of the Presidents mes
sage. The full text of the wordy and
windy eflusion would fill from twelve
to fifteen columns. 1t is q weak pro
duction. In both style and matter
ii is far below the average mark of
similar state papers. Compared with
the clear, cogent. mnsterly messages
of President Cleveland it is rs the fit
full flare of the taper to the effulgence
of the midday sun. His conserya-
tive suggestions upon tariff reform
show that he is not inscnsible to the
lesson of the Ohio and Iowa cleo
tions. But the people cannot be de
ceieved. They have time and again
seen that Republican promises OF
reform i'll the tariff, whether il party
platforms or presidential messages,
are sheer hypocritical prate. But the
sting OF this message like that of the
scorpion, is in it's tail. This rene
gadc descendant Of Virginia sires, in
the conclusion Of his message, sheds
buckets of crocodile tears
over the maltreatment of the negro
in the South; and advocates some
such legislation as tllnt formulated
by Senator Sherman for national in
reference in elections.
We must not omit to add that he
goes the full length of his tether in
pandering to the soldier sentiment,
and recommends enlarging the al
ready licentious bounties squandered
by the Republican party upon the
real and pretended soldiers of the
Union army in the "War of the Re.
bellion,' rs our Yankee cousins call
it.
Upon the whole this message will
confirm The opinion, now very gcner-
ally entertained, that Benjamin Har-
rison is II very small man, and that
his grandfatner's hat would show on
his head like an umbrella.-Lynch-

An exchange in speaking of news

very forcibly remarks that there is

to print, puff and publish, all for

VAN buren, AND CLEVELAND

The eminent historian, George
Bancroft, has published his valuable,
though brief, history of Martin Van
Buren, at an opportuno moment lie
wrote it many years ago and The
manuscript was read by Mr.. Van
Buren, himself. 1t was not published
then because public opinion was not
i'll condition to Judge fairly Of Mr.
Van Buren's great public services
After delay OF nearly half century
the book is published mt time when
the people of the United States can
Judge dispassionately OF the Admin
istration Of lS37-41, and when some
lecent events-too recent to be fair.
ly judged-will impress the reader
of Mr.. Bancroft's book with the
truth of the old saying that history
repeats itself.
The contest between President
Van Buren, and the banks is singu-
larry analogous to the contest be
tween President Cleveland and the
beneficiaries OF tariff taxation. The
banks contributed largely to the de
t"ai of President Van Buren, and the
Tux beneliciaries contributed rs i.uch
q. they could to the defeat of Presi.
dent Cleveland. The analogies are
strikingly close ard frequent in the
presidential careers of the two men
as few extracts from Mr.. Bancroft :
lust chapter will show. 1t is remark
able how much of this chapter, with
the change of names and dates, would
answer for q sketch of the late adj.
ADMINISTRATION.
1.-THE high tariff" says Mr.. Bar

OF the national debt was not com.

but the payment of all that portion
of the debt which was redecmuble

many respects was the condition O
the country when Grover Cleveland
who had no halo of military glory O
Civil War service to conciliate popu
larity, was called upon to stand on
against the benefciaries of taxatio,

Will of Mrs Betsey Curtis.

Mrs Betsey Curtis's will has been offered for probate and was signed June 15, 1886. She directed that, if she out lived her husband, Samuel Curtis, and received property from his estate, 5000 should be given to the Congregational society in Newtown street, 5000 to the Methodist society in Sandy Hook, the in- come from each to help pay for preach ing; the rest of said property to be equally distributed between Henry G. Curtis and Julia Curtis Hawley, children of Samuel Curtis. All her wearing ap- parel and household goods were left to her sister, Mary c. Wheeler; her watch and long chain to her niece, Florence M. Curtis of Chicago, and the short chain and long pin to another niece, Mary Nichols IIawley. To Newtown ceme- tery association she left $l00, the income of which is to keep in good repair the lots of her father, Hezekiah Curtis, and her aunt, Marella Curtis; if more than sufficient, the balance is to repair the cemetery grounds. Mary c. Wheeler is given sole control of her own property ; at her death it is to be divided into 20 shares; to Charles r. Curtis of Chicago, 6 shares; Florence NJ. Curtis of Chicago, 6 shares; Hobart II. Curtis (then of Newtown),2 ? shares; Jennie l.. Curtis of Newtown, 1-3 shares; Frederick l.. Curtis of Newtown, l-3 shares; New ton M. Curtis of Newtown, l-3 shares |; St Johns society, share; Trinity soci- ety, share. Henry C.. Curtis is ap- pointed executor. The will was wit messed by Charles E. Wilmot, M. s. Sheridan and Bernard Heating, all of Bridgeport.
 An agreement between Samuel Curtis and Betsey Curtis Hinman, contempla- ting marriage, accompanies the will. It Is dated April 5, 1880, and provides that, during the life of Mir Curtis, his wife should have her full support and living and that, if she outlived Mir Curtis, she should have all furniture and fixtures of the house in which they lived, with use of the house and garden and the right to keep horse and COW in the barn; also $l0,000 from the estate. She still re- tained full control and disposition of all property in her possession at the time of marriage. If Mir Curtis outlived his wife, her property should go to her heirs, free from all claims from him. The agreement was signed two days be- fore the marriage and witnessed by John Warner and Mary c. Wheeler.
 Mrs Curtis had no real estate, but the personal property is estimated at S20,0o0. As she died before her husband and, con sequently, received nothing from his es- tate, the bequests of 5000 each to the Congregational and Methodist churches are void.

Mrs Alexander Smiths Will.

The will of Louisa A., wife of Alex ander Smith, submitted for probate, di- rects, First, that all just debts and funeral expenses be paid. Second, that all real and personal property remaining shall be given to George l.. Yeomans of New Haven; her husband, however, was to have the use of it during his life. George l.. Yeomans was appointed executor.
 The will, which was dated May 10, 1889, is witnessed by Norman Tongue, Frederick N. Hawley and James Steb- bins. sr
 The Newtown Savings bank holds a mortgage on Mrs Smiths property, which is worth, probably, $500 or 5000.

At Putnam Memorial Park.

l Coy Bulkley appointed Senator Isaac N. Bartram of sharon, Charles Burr Todd of Bedding, c. B. Jennings of Fair field, Clement A. Sharpe of Pomfret, Samuel A. Amber of Bethel, G. H. Blanchard of Hartford, James E. Miller of Bedding commissioners on the Red ding camp ground, now called Putnam Memorial Park. They will meet in Dan- bury, Saturday, and will probably drive to the grounds.
 A business meeting will be held, at which Senator Bartram will be elected chairman and Historian Charles Burr Todd secretary. An engineer will also be chosen and Hull < Palmer of Bridge port, who have done all the surveying and map drawing and who have worked hard for the success of the bill, will prob ably be selected.
 Such work as laying stone wall and building towers at the entrance will prob- ably be let out by contract, but the roads will probably by built by days labor. The first work, of course, is to clear the i grounds of all underbrush.
 As the amount appropriated by the State just covers the estimate, leaving nothing for dedication, bill was intro- duced into the Senate, last week, asking $5000 to dedicate the park when finish ed. It was rejected, but will come up again, when the park is completed and may then pass.

The reunion of the Army and Navy club at Fenwick hall, Saybrook, last week, was the most notable rally of the veterans that Connecticut will see, this year. Senator Joe Hawley came on from Washington to attend and the occasion was made Farragut meeting.

King of the Army of the Potomac and Senator Hawley were among the speakers and Editor Bailey of the Danbury News brought down the boys with his solemn "reminiscences of the private soldier, of whom he claims to be the sole relic in all Danbury; all the rest have died or been promoted.

With the approach of the first of July, when the post office will pass from the charge of l.. E. Booth to that of John B. Wheeler, speculation as to the new loca- tion becomes rife. That it will be moved appears to be taken for granted by all ; but the precise spot to be chosen is still m interesting question. A reporter ques- tioned Postmaster Wheeler and his son, Hervey w., who will be postal clerk un- der the new regime, but could get no satisfactory reply. Hervey "Really could not say where it was going;" his father laughingly evaded the question. 'Oh, we'll, you'll know before long. It would not do to let people know too soon."

The brother of Mrs John Graham of the Glen died at S7 Oxford road, Glou- cester, England, May 29, aged 47 years and the Gloucester Mercury thus com ments on his death:
 "The second old servant of the Gloucester corporation, who has died suddenly within the last few weeks, died under the follow ing distressing circumstances at his home in the early hours of Wednesday, morning. The man in the present instance was Robert Col lett, about 30 years of age, of Oxford road and was engaged in connection with the water mains. On Tuesday evening, he was seized with an apoplectic fit. Dr Campbell was sent tor. He shortly after attended, but was un- able to do anything tor the deceased, who was unconscious until tour o'clock in the morn ing, when he died. The cause of death was the bursting of blood vessel in the region of the brain. The deceased was an exception ally good workman and was held in great es- teem by the corporation officials, leaves q widow and eight children"

The new switch at Hawleyville, north of the depot, has been completed.

lation to the Sturges COW was incorrect. The COW was not obtained from A. c. Moore, but was raised in Danbury and bought from his brother and never has been exposed to any contagious disease. It is true that Mir Sturges and Mir Moore traded, but the trade proved unsatisfac. tory and they very sensibly settled the matter by trading back again. As to Nil Sturges' cows, not healthier herd ot cows exist, to all appearances, than they are.-lA. W. Fairchild.

Saturday night, after collecting speci- mems of ore from the bottom of the shaft at Mount Pisgah, the workmen covered the opening with plank, stored away their tools and departed for home. If all went well, they said, they should re- turn in a few days and vigorously push the work. Foreman Medling has previ- ously said that, as soon as the bottom of the shaft was reached and the ore thor oughly assayed, company would be formed with abundant capital to begin the work of extracting and reducing the quartz and blue stone in which the ore is found, if indications were favorable. He has constantly declared that they were even better than expectations. Five ounces of gold and 25 of silver to the ton will pay for mining and this was prom ised by specimens obtained and by the location and pitch of the vein. Mir Med- 1ing's absence is caused by the work in- cidental to starting new company.
