THE HUNGARIAN GYPSY BAND CONCERT.

A large and select audience greeted the
Hungarian Gypsy Band at Turner Hall
last Friday evening. Every number of
the fine programme rendered was enthu-
siastically received, the Hungaria as
creating 9 most favorable impression as
on their first visit to Watertown. The
Independent character of their playing,
and yet the complete harmony obtained,
is the strong point with this musical or
ganization. When here before we called
attention to the fact that the Hungarian
band played without having any notes
before them, their music being the pro-
duction of memory as well as skill and
and taste. It is seldom that our citizens
have presented to them SO fine a musica!
treat, and too much praise cannot be
given to Mr.. Ditschler for his effort in
securing the band.

lin the United States Circuit Court,
at Milwaukee, Saturday, the case of the
First National Bank, of Chicago, against
the city Of Milwaukee came up. It was
an action to recover the interest due On
seven city bonds of $1,00e, which were
hypothetical by James 8. White while
acting as City Comptroller. and deposited
BY him with the bank as security for q
loan. The case was decided against the
city. Judge Gresham delivered the
opinion of the court.
Our former townsman, Emil Rothe,
of Cincinnati, is one of the signers of the
address from very select portion OF the
Ohio Democratic party, denouncing the
Democratic frauds In the election last
October. The address. which IL largely
in the vein of humiliating confession,
was transmitted TO the Democratic state
executive committee, and it was believed
that it weuld have N important influence
upon the action OF that body. It is
hoped that this little minority will have
good success in the Herculean task they
have undertaken, that Of turning the
Ohio Democracy from ito fraudulent ways.

The Christmas number of the Baltimore Telegram
appeared last week. 1t was a double sheet, 16
pages, and was filed with seasonable poetry and
stories, handsomely illustrated, and contained all
the society news. We extend congratulations to the
enterprsing publisher in his successful efforts to
please the thousands of readers of that excellent
hebdomadal.
The Prince Georges Enquirer began new volume
last week and celebrated the event by appearing in
new suit. It is an excellent paper and would be
handsome one, if it would discard those unseemly
cuts and stereotypes.
Beginning with Sunday last the Baltimore Ameri-

The Reform" Movement.
What the Press Have to Say.

Following are some Of the comments ofthe
State press on the recent conference of Hamil-
ton. johnson, Cowen and others in Baltimore
last week, on the reformation of the Demo
cratic party:
Easton Star: Ex-Gov. William T. Hamil
ton held his meeting of dissatisfed Democrats
at Hotel Rennert, Baltimore, last Thursday,
and called another meeting for the 18th of
January next. They issued an address, going
over pretty much the same ice pond that Mr..
Hamilton used to skate round when he was
governor of Maryland. Evidently they are
after somebody's scalp; but on that point the
address is mum. Gen. Hardcastle, of Talbot.
attended the meeting.
Cumberland Times: "The young men of
Maryland must get up conference now by
way of antidote for the old mems factional
poison"
Cecil Democrat: BOSSES are the peoples
masters, and rings the letters by which the
slaves are bound. But as long as the spirit
of slavishness exists, supply will meet the
demand for bosses to control and use the
slavish. If those who complain are those
who seek substitution of bosship, the proba-
bilities are not encouraging. If, on the other
hand, the complaint comes from those who
are CALLED by the letters, there is good ground
of hopefulness.
Annapolis Capital: 1.-THE Capital is and
always has been opposed,to rings and bosses,
and all rapes upon the ballot, and being
life long Democrat, would almost be willing
to run into extremes TO correct the evils that
environ u.s. but we have as little fifth in the
methods of the Washington county granger as
we have in the Howard county fancy farmer"

Christmas.

All hail the joyous Christmastide, which
commentaries the most important event ever
chronicled in the annals of time, an event
heralded by celestial visitants, and celebrated
by the choristers of the upper sanctuary, es-
peeially commissioned to bear the glad tidings
to earth in carols such as had never before
fallen upon mortal ears.
But we do not intend to moralize. We
leave that to the priesthood at the altar, the
lecturn, and the chancel. We speak of Christ
mas in the household, at the hearth stone, at
the Preside, in the family circle. Not the
churches alone are decorated with in,mortelles,
emblematc of mans eternal destiny, but the
dwelling, the home, is decorated in like man
ner, and made all glorious within in honor OF
the OCCASION Not the least of the lights of
the household at Christmas, is the benignant
aspect of father and mother. The hallowed
memories of the occasion, in their own child
hood and beneath the parental rooftree,
awaken afrcsh in their own minds and hearts
remembrances of youthful joys and expecta-
tions. Look at the bright faces of the little
ones. Hear their innocent prattle and their
ringing laughter 1t is enough to drive mel
ancholy from the heart of the misanthrope
and renew his youth again. Look at the toys
and the other gifts of the heads of the family,
the tokens of affection and paren tai sollcitude
for the nestlings of the household. Look at
the Christmas tree all aglow with its brilliant
lights, its tinsel and its treasures, and witness
the gladness it inspires in the tiny hearts for
whose benefit and deectation it was provided.
If there was nothing more in Christmas than
this, it would more than repay the pains OF
preparation many times over, and we should
hail its coming with unalloyed delight. But
there is more in it, even in this narrower and
circumscrbed view of its associations and in
iuences. To the business world it is sort
of pause-for breath and rest,-a renewal of
strength, moral mental and physical; time
for the gathering of fresh energy to sustain
the weary in the battle of life, its accidents
and incidents, its successes and mischances,
to say nothing of its higher moral influences
Let us cherish and revere the joyful season,
with all its endearing and enduring memories,
for as often as it returns to bless the world,
all will share in its softcning, refining, and
elevating tendencies.

One Item from Day P. o.

The Berret correspondent first came at US
with such violence that, according to his own
statement, he "broke his wind" and then it
was he put up that pitiable wall sis there no
balm in Gilead.'' And he has been wheeling
at us ever since, challenging US to various
points, and when we would arrive, he was
always somewhere else. And now he gasps,
that ffif he has wind enough left he will try to
meet us at the concert" which he seems
sanguinely certain will come off sometime.
His first and last concert was eighteen hun
bred and eighty six years ago; but he desig-
mates no time, no place for the next, but as,
sumes that it will be-sure enough; all of
which indicates that he has become IA firm
believer in the sure workings of our eternal
process, while he writes of us nothing but the
vague, ridiculous and false, Day.

The Pension Impost.

Washington dispatches say that tne House
committee on pensions is engaged IN the piep
aration of new pension bill which VIII auu
iarnalv IN our present expenditure on pen
son account. If such bill is actually re-
norted to the House it would, Judging py Tue
mast. be unsafe to predict its defeat. lheIe
soems to be no lengths on the pension matter
tn which the average Congressman Is not
ready to 90. At the close of the war ample
legislation upon the subject was ehacteu
With few exceptions all who upon any pru-
dent system could have had right to ASK lor
nensions were able to obtain them. dad tHtre
been no further extension OF the system oui
animal expenditure for pensions at the pres,
ant time would have very little exceeded
twenty millions per annum. In 1910, now
ever. Congress passed the arrears OF pension
hill. and thus opened the flood gates: Wnen
that measure became law the annual pension
outlay had fallen to twenty-seven millions,
and. as was natural at that length OF time
after the close of the war, was steadliy ue-
creasinr. The moment the bill went INTO
effect the annual expenditure for pensions
began to mount up with alarming rapidlty'
The total amount spent for pensions since the
foundation of the government has been nine
hundred millions. of which four hundred ana
forty-fve millions represents the expenaitur,G;
of the last eight years since the arrears plii
went into operation. Last year the total m
crease in the number of pensioners was greater
than in any other one year save one: Inc
expenditure, which in 1885 was filtys'X mil /,
lions, was in 1856 sixty-three millions; ana
will be still greater in 1887. The annual cost
of the pension system is now about one-fourth
ofou total ordinary expenditure. The coun,
try has done all, and far more than all, thai
either justice or sound policy requires it to do
for its defenders. 1t is now the duty OF all
who have control over the matter to set their
faces firmly against any increase'in burden
which threatens to become almost unbearable.
