Local street-railroad presidents did a
very sensible thing when they reached
voluntary agreement as TO system of
transfers by means of which passengers
may for one fare Tor in connection with
suburban roads for about a fare and n
halD lie carried over much longer routes
than have hitherto been possible on enc
ticket or nickel. With liberal transfer ar
rangements existing in other and neignbor-
ing cities IL was not at all likely that Tire
people of Washington would much longer
sit still and keep silence Already there
were plans being formulated looking to
legislation that would create IA transfer
system which mighi have displeased some
of the railway companies, but if the agree
rlent reached between the respective man
agementS is anything like fair one to the
further effort at this time to have Con-
sress render an arbitrary decision as to
when and where transfers should be good.
There has been steady Improvement in cur
street-ralway facilities. and in the near
future this Improvement will be much
more marked than at any time in the FAST.
IL Is entirely proper that the r-patroaiz-
ing public should receive some of the 5ene-
fits that result from the intelligent use of
privileges freely given to these corpora
tons by an extremely generous commun-
ity.

that states in the south would care for
places that arouse memories far from
sweet, but il is strange that the great
state of Pennsylvania permitted so much
of neglect and vandalism to injure the
place of conflict at Gettysburg-the decis-
i've battlefield of the civil war. In the alb
sence of state pride it was the duty of Con-
gress to preserve such wonderful memo
rial Gettysburg. Ch!ckamauga and Shi-

few years 1t is likely that other scenes of
historic conflict will be set apart as places
to which this and coming generations may
repair to recruit their patriotism.

The Money Market.

From The LOUISVILLE OurIer-JOurnaI
The notion that cheap and abundant
money is an evidence of prosperity Is mega
lived by the facts. Money is cheap because
of the slack demand. The demand is in
adequate to employ the money which we
have. If it were certain that the $4J.OOO,OUO
of idle money in the New York banks that
has been offered at one per cent could be
employed as to earn IL and per cent
it would be utilized at once. Men able to
secure the repayment of the money are not
satisfied of their ability to do this. There
is a lack of confidence which keeps business

NAraArrcK CHIEF OF POLICE.

 Editor of the DEMocRAT:
 The Naugatuck News in its print of Fri day has the following:
 'If the chief finally gets thrown out of the department 1t will be the death-k -knell come"
 This gentleman has made a mistake Hosford's retention CT otherwise cannot make any difference to the principles of democracy. If they did not let him go, it would be contrary to the republican tactics, and would have 8 tendency to pro- duce the death-knell which our friend re- fers to. Let us see how it works.
 Very much has been said and written about this officer. both for and against his doings in his official capacity under the re- publican regime. We may say just here that it takes very good man to have every ones endorsement of his official acts. The objections to his doings or otherwise, during his term, seem to the writer to have nothing to do with his retention or dismiss sal. It is a recognized mode of deal ing with it's officers by the United State government that a democrat replaces a republican and vice versa according to the politics of the powers that be. We had as good a postmaster in Naugatuck in the person of MT Moulthrop as it was possible to have, but he had to go because he was republi. can. and for no other reason. The borough of Naugatuck is conducted strictly upon party lines. The chief certainly must ex- pect to relinquish the office upon these grounds alone, irrespective of the ex. perience' he has gathered and the ability for the office he has shown in some of his doings.
 D' Let us all be manly and show no out. fageous feeling against him because he has to retire as party politics require.

The New Baby's Horoscope.

NEW YORK, July 9.-The World prints the horoscope of the little girl born to President and Mrs. Cleveland. It was cast by Professor c. LeOnis, and the stars in- dicate that the little baby will possess very high intellectual gifts, will become ac- complished in music and literature, and will be generous prudent and merciful. Trouble and bereavement is prophesied at first, but the signs point to a desirable marriage and ripe old age.
 In the words of the horoscope, the little lady is likely to become somewhat stOuter than Baby Esther, and Will not be quite so tall, owing to the fact that Jupiter, her ruling planet, is located in a sign which usually gives children of medium height,
 Her horoscope contains most fortunate conditions for marriage-much better than either of her sisters. It is judged that she will marry gentleman of wealth and prominence. The husband will be some what older than herself and engaged in some very uncommon pursuit aside from his public life. He will be of medium height and rather stout, but not corpu- lent, will have dark brown or black hair, full face and dark complexion. He will be gentleman of honor, of ability and a great traveller.
 She will have but q small number of ehildrcn--possibly not more than one-a boy.
 She has q good constitution, will gen orally enjoy good health, readily recover from sickness at all times, rapidly regain strength live to be old and will certainly reach CT. She will have an evil period to- ward the close of the year and early in 1898, In which year grief and bereavement are indicated. She will be very i'll just previous to her twentieth birthday; will have evil periods during 1909 and 1903, spring and fall; ill 1904 she will be very i'll; from June, 1910, till spring, 1911, she will have grief and bereavement, and will marry between g and B rather suddenly.

Almost Finished.

A famous landscape painter had to call in Q doctor to see his wife, who was suffering from bronchitis. After he had examined the patient, the doctor recom- mended the husband to take a small brush, dip it in tincture of iodine and lightly paint the lady's back with it. The artist took up his brush, and after dipping it in the tincture proceeded to carry olsS the doctors prescription. But his artistic temperament soon got the better of his sick nursing qualities. Mistaking his wife's back for canvas, instead of simply applying the lotion he sketched out landscape and gradually peopled it with figures and put in all the details complete. The patient, find ing the operation a rather lengthy one, asked her husband if he had finished. And the latter, receding few steps to examine his work, replied, Another dab or two, and then can put it in the frame. '-Bosten TraveIlena
