Preparations for the Fourth.

July have completed their arrangements for the
celebration of Independence Day. They have agreed
to expend the sum OF So 725 upon the observance OF
that gala anniversary. OF this amount 81, 100 viii

exhibitions OF pyT0technics-two In the Western

dollars will be paid Tor music and the balance for
firing national salute on Fort Green and for deco

The German Eight-Hour League.

The Teutonla Hall people assembled in much
larger force yesterday than at any time during the
past two weeks. The cause OF the great influx was
the return of the men from naSter's factory
and from Maurvs shop, In sank street,
near Bleecker. The room was at one
time filed, and when the news came in
that one of the men had been assaulted and
afterwards arrested by a policeman. The ex-
element was for the moment greater than at any
previous time during the strike.
The old feeling OF a month ago was sought to be
recalled in the minds OF the in the midst OF ex-
element, but the and tear of mind aud nerve
they have suffered was too great. and they refused
to be again inflated to any extent.

The Railroad Employees.

The stable men OF the Second, Sixth and Seventh
Avenue Railroad lines have been In a state Of fer
ment since Tuesday. Gatherings have been made
In the vicinity Of the stables Of all the different
lines, and not only those actively engaged In the
movement are demonstratve, but those who are
still at work on other lines than those above men-
toned.
The excitement was greatest during the day at
and about the depot OF the sixth avenue line. For
q time II feared that serious riot would occur
and arrangements were privately made for the ap-
pearance OF the police at moments warning. All
the reserve force which mas been on duty since the
strike began was marshalled at the station house,
ready for instant action, and every effort was made
the part OF the authorities to preserve the peace.
At the stables OF all the other lines and at the
upper terminus of each gatherings assembled but
no hostile effort was made at any time during the
day. There is scarcely doubt that the strike will
become general among the stablemen, and as they
only ask advance OF twenty-five cents per
day from 81 rs to BY they Will probably obtain all
they demand without any serious trouble. At this
time the men on the Third avenue line have not
struck, and on the Eighth avenue new men have
been engaged as fast as the strikers left.

THE ONE TERM PRINCIPLE.

There has already been more said and
written on that subject than in our opin-
ion it really deserves for in fact there is
no principle about it, except perhaps to
Emit occasionally the will of the people.
We contend that the Presidential term
OF Office ought to he fixed at not less than
four years and that the people should be
as free to re-elcct a good President. as
they are in re-electing U. S. Senator
or Member of the House of Representa-
tives. We know very we'll that there are
always aspifants enough to any office,
but we know also that good men are very
scarce after all.
What would Wisconsin do for instance,
if a one term law was In force, in regard 10
Members OF Congress? Is there man here
that can fill the place of L. 0. Howe as
he does? Certainly not. Where would
our Fifth Congressional District now be
if we could not have reelected Phil.
Sawyer?
Let the instigators of such propositions
bride their ambition instead of trying to
bride the free choice of our people and
they will prove Of greater benefit to all
concerned,
