GETTY.

The first of the talks on current Doliti-
cal events before the Hudson Democratic
Society will be delivered on Wednesday
evening by Prosecutor Charles H. Win
field. His subject will be Democracy"
and the members of the society are re-
quested to invite their friends.
The vacancy in the Board OF Governors,
caused by the resignation of Ernest Hep
penheimer, will be filled at the regular
meeting of the society tomorrow evening.
Fred Carter will probably be chosen.
StThere are number of new applicants
for membership to the society. Among
them are ex-Judge McGrath. John A.
Nugent, stenographer of the Circuit
Court and Samuel G. Besson, OF Hoboken.
There is much rejoicing over Mr.. Besson 8
candidacy as it is said he has been q
Prohibitionist and Republican.
which sets forth that there is more joy
over the one sinner that repenteth
than the ninety and nine that go not
astray.
A gloom hovers over DR., Perry Watson.
Ben Bedle, Otto Grouse, Bob Elliot and
the other bon vivants of the club over
the fact that Caterer Lee has rendered
his resignation, to take effect tomorrow.
1t is said that Lees assistant with the e.
Bnrd Grubb whiskers will succeed him.
Walter Westcoit entertained small
party of friends ut supper at the club
house short time ago.
There issome talk of the society's taking
an active part in The spring election, but
as yet nothing is apparent in the matter
but smoke, although there are many citl-
zens who would like to see the society
take hand in municipal affairs.
DIR. Perry Watson's chief occupation
at the society's rooms, / am told, is the
dissection of.Welsh rarebits, which he ac-
composites with a grace and relish
winch is wonderful to behold.
Hud Clark Is being importuned to once
more assert his genius in the composition
of punch. But he has declined and de-
clared his intention of withholding his
hand until the club gives another famous

ERSEY CITY ATHLETIC
CLUB.

The Entertainment Committee OF the
Jersey City Athletic Club have about
completed arrangements for q series of
lectures by George KEENAN, the enterpris-
ing newspaper man who travelled through
Siberia aud wrote SO graphically of the
The political exiles in that snowbound
country. All who have heard KEENAN,
and Stanley declare that Mr.. KEENAN, is
the more interesting ralker of the two.
There is some talk of match game of
billiards between J. G. A. G. man and q
a representative of the Palmas The
Palmas think that Van Saun is the man
that will be pitted against their
champion, and among the Jersey Citys
il is thought Staples is the man who will
battle for the glory of Palma. 1t would not
be surprising ii both clubs brought forth
an unknown. At any rate the battle will
be royal one and one well worth seeing.
The success which the club achieved
with the Chimes of Normandy" has
emboldened che members of the
opera company to make Rnoth or
attempt in that line aud in
the spring another opera will be given.
IL will be one which will provide part
for Billy Vidal, whose wholesome and
refined humor was sadly missed at the
last opera.
The members OF the club tell me that
they do not propose to let the Pagmas get
ahead OF them in anything and there is
some talk of organizing a riding
class to rival the Palmas in horseman-
ship. Some of the younger and more
enthusiastic go so far as to suggest that
the club challenge the Pala;as 20 feats of
equestrianism. Why don't they get up a
fox hunt and chase the anise seed bag, a
la Essex hunt?
Some of the junior members who were
afforded an opportunity Thursday even
ing of attending their first ladies' recep-
ton are so intoxicated with the success
of the affair that they are exceedingly
anxious to have another one before long.
The indications are that the stag on
New Years Eve will be great affair.
The committee are laboring hard to make
it a success, and the man who misses it
will have something to regret for years
Ia come.
Sam Finney denies that there are OBJ
jections in his domestic establishments to
his remaining an active member of the
club. The club is TO be congratulated
uron the felicitous state of affairs.

LIGHT BATTERY LOSSES.

Since publishing our account Of losses of
light batteries, we have received quite num-
Der fletters calling attention to the fact that
our figures differ in some cases from those of
Col. Fox. This seems to need explanation.
Col. Fox compiled his admirable book from
State records mainly. For regiments of cav
airy and infantry, which maintained the same
organization, and whose men were borne on
uniform rolls throughout their terms of serv-
ice, Col. FOxs method was absolutely correct
But in the case of light batteries the
State records do not show their complete
losses, for the reason that often, when
pressed in battle they would be reinforced
by men from their supporting infantry regi-
ments, who would aid in working the guns,
carrying ammunition, etc. OF course these
men would suffer- But if they were killed
or wounded they would not be accounted
for on the rolls of the battery proper,
though they fell in the battery and were
practically part of its losses. Col Fox, OF
course, could have no means of asccrtaining
these extra losses of batteries, and there is
no way to get at them except by taking the
individual casualty reports.
For example, Gen. J. II. Sypher, who was
Second Lieutenant of Battery b, LIST Ohio, at
Stone River, where the battery is officially
charged with loss of 90 men, says it's actual
loss was %; which he knows to be SO, because
he made out the casualty return. But OF
these six were iniantrymen temporarily
helping and so would not be accounted foI
on the battery rolls. This was true in Sc
many instances that ii may serve as a sample
Under these circumstances it is clear that
no exact or completely authoritative state
ment of the actual losses of light batteries
! can ever be ascertained 1t was the common
habit of the infantrymen, particularly in
the last two years of the war, TO reinforce
the batteries connected with their divisions
whenever they needed help Some battery
| commanders would mention casualties
among this class. Others did not Hence
the difficulty of getting Mt the exact truth
about the losses Of light batteries.

NO REDUCTION OF THE REVENUE.
Every suggested reduction of the revenue
involves direct and great damage TO some
important interest in the country. Not one
that has been urged but will, without fail,
close up many establishments that are now
doing prosperous business, and send out of
the country immense sums of money which
are at present doing good in circulating
among our people. il will take away the
employment now given our own mechanics
and artisans, and drive them into the al
ready overcrowdcd agricultural pursuits.
On the other hand this reduction cannot
benefit the consumers by giving them cheaper
goods. They will not be benefited by it.
Experience OF millions now living tells us
that goods were higher under the practical
free trade before the war and wages and
prices of produce much lower than they are
to-day.
Then, why should we make the reduc-
tin?
Is money so plentiful at home that we
want TO send some hundreds of millions
abroad every year?
is there so much more work than our
workingmcn can do that we want to furnish
employment to those in England, France
and Germany?
Are our farmers so in love with the rail-
roads, steamships, elevators and middlemcn
that they are anxious TO further enrich them
by sending more millions of bushels of grain
| abroad instead of selling it ut home?
If this is the case we had better reduce
the revenue; if not, we had better let it
remain rs it is, or, better still, increase
the protection on articles that we can pro-
duce at home until we do produce them.
At all events, let us certainly not reduce
the revenue until the Nation has done full
Justice to the gallant men who saved its
life at the cost of their own bodily health.
