The EmperOr's speech at the opening Of the
r, ichstaG yesterday was peaceablc in tone, with
one significant exception, 1t points out the
necessity for increasing the grants for the
aImy and navy. Well may the German tax
PAYERS grOan when the burden Of sustaining
the enormous military establishment is to be
increased rather than diminished.
Fivc-ccnt fares on Sundays have not proved
profitable to the elevated roads, and there Is
talk of going back to the old rate. But Russell
Sage favors the present losing system in order
to give those " no toll hard for six days chance
to travel cheaply on Sundays. Mr.. Sagc's gen
erous sentiments are not shared by all his
fellow directors, but any raising of the fares
from the present basis will be likely TO provoke
hostile legislation at Albany.
The logic Of the County Democracy leaders
must he the result of a new discovery. At
their meeting last night they held that the
$1,000 votes they pOllcd at the recent election
showed that they would win the next time.
BIT perhaps with their disgust at 1ammany's
victory they are going 10 vote thc Republican
ticket the next time If that is the case, then it
is easy to understand why they feel sure of

The Fire Department were out again
last Friday night for drill and practice.
The Steamer was stationed at the res
ervoir in front of the Town Hall, and
for wonder pumped water to the sat
isfaction of everyone. When the hose
was reeled up, however, and the
steamer was ready to change it's base
of operations to the Court House res.
ervoir, it struck its natural gait again
by having its usual breakdown. The
horses started up suddenly, breaking
the whippletrees like pipe stem, but
after delay of not more than 80 min
utes, during which time if there had
been fire nearly the whole town
might have burned down, the machine
got away, and no more accidents oc-
Cured during the entire evening.
