A monument was raised to the memory of Gov. Thomas H. Seymour at Hartford, last week, with Masonic ceremonies. Addresses were made by ex-Gov. Hubbard and Inger- soil. The monument is about thirty feet high and cost about $2,eOo. The Hartford Times has a list of subscribers. Morris contributed SIS; New Milford $20, and Barkhaust ed $10, and no other towns in this county. Gov. Seymour was not great man. but he certainly
 had the faculty of attaching people to him to wonderful degree. His course during the war was, as we view it, lamentably wrong. yet there have been few men who could in- spire a party with 80 much enelgy and conf dence as he, .,, ,.........l .,'..'--st -l

The German Election.


 No one who has faith in representative gov Iernnent and in popular elections can fail tt be delighted at the result ofthe German cleo tions. Bisrsark has been striving go persist
 entlyto get 2 majority favorable to his sbso. lutist designs, and to unite all shades of con.
 servatism in his support, that there was every reason to expect ar increase of his power ir the new parliament. He has given up hi' anti-papal schemes, and he has used every effort to bring the Catholics over to his sap.
 port. He has prosecuted Socialism, and pros ecuted the Liberal press so vigorously tha, popular opinion has found little open expres. sion. Yet in spite of every effort, Germany
 has declared against Bismark and his ssstrong
 government" r , n,
 The truth is that Germany is suffering the
 pressure of war in time ofpeace. Her inan- ces cannot bear the strain the ambition of
 Bismark has put upon them. The immense standing army he is obliged to maintain, and the waste of time and strength that his sys
 tenn of military enlstmeDts entails, are all bearing 90 heavily on the country, and espec- tally on the young men of the country, that they have become almost unendurable. The conscription is almost as severe as thatof Rev. olutionary France, and there is none of the fire of revolution in Germany to warm the popular heart to such a sacrifice. The Ger man nation, as well as the French nation has had its seasons of splendid effert. Its uprising in 1913 decided the fate of the Great Napoleon. IL did not finch from the wonderful effort required for the complete overthrow of the Second French empire. But what has the German people gained by either of these eff fortsa Stupid monarchs and selfish ,aristoc- racy have often promised them much, but they have given them little. That little,, Bismark. who seems to De ending where he began, a narrow German Junker, is tryiAg to steal from them. Fortunately his designs have met with . serious check .ter+zall s.
 ,, Compared with France. Germany is certain ly losing rather than gaining strength. The Republic has larger. and better army than Napoleon III ever could maintain. Y The re sources of France are 90 much greater than those of Germany that the burden of great army is not crushing. her as it crushes Germa- n.y.. Best of all, her government is satisfactory to her people, while the voters of Germany have once more declared that the government of Bismark is not satisfactory to them. .s
 We only wish the Germans could put down their autocratic ruler decisively. Un' fortunately parliamentary government means less in Germany than in any other country where it means anything. The executive power, backed by an army oficered by the Junker aristocracy. is too strong for the plucky college professors and the other civilians who lead the Liberals of Parliament. Still the time may come when, in Germany as in France and 1 England, Parliament may exercise that control over the executive power which of right belongs to the representatives of the people. , so..rI ;" 2 lfA.;..rr .#
