Bede's Budget: The seatoriatfght

between the :Buckmanc and Fuller
factions was to the death. Senator
Funrr was the regular republican
nominee forre election, and Buckman

man was elected by a handsome
majority. He received most of the
democratic vote and q considerable
percentage Of the republican vote.

Anoka Herald: The decision of
the supreme court that the contract
between. the Little Falls Electric
Light and Water Power company
and that city is illegal because OF the
unreasonable length Of time it was to
run will be of interest to all Anoka
taxpayers, for it is very similar to
ours. The Little Falls contract was
made in the same year as Q urs, 1889,
and runs thirty years, while ours
runs thirty-:ne. we believe

.Anoka had its trouble with the local
company this point was not decided
BY the court, and that the matter
was dropped Now, that it has been
settled Mt The expense of Little Falls,
those who believe that Anoka has
the hot end of the poker will
have Il good opportunity to reopen
the case with n fair prospect of"bust-
ing" the present contract. -
Another decision VII ell we believe
will favor the city in it's struggle for
reduction of rates is the famous
SteenersOn rate case which the su-
preme court handed down some time
ago. It was beld that q fair rate for
a railroad company to charge would
be such 4 rate rs would pay the cost
of building n railroad, it's running
expenses and a fair profit on it's act
ual Investment, and that interest on
bonds and dividends on watered
stocks and heavy bonds should not
enter into the computation of rates.
The city of Anoka has guaranteed
the payment of interest on bonds
issued by the local company to more
than twice the actual value cf the
local plant. 80 it seems to US that if
this is so the city has another very
good ground for trying to readjust
rates.
Our city council will have the back
ing OF the taxpayers of Anoka If it
begins suits against the Anoka
Water Works, Electric Light & Power
company and we look for an early
opening OF the case.

THE RUSSIAN SAILOR.
His Characteristics Not Ideal and the
 Supply is Limited

His Characteristics Not Ideal and the Supply is Limited.
 Russian naval armaments and Rus sian naval projects have received their due share of attention in this country of late. and every step the Muscovites have taken to strengthen their fleet and add to it's efficiency has been made the subject of reference and criticism. It is strange, therefore, that nothing should have been heard of the Russian sailor, on whose training and fighting capacity the value of the emperor's navy is entirely dependent. Ships and guns, no matter how well found the one and powerful the other, are of little avail unless the men intended to work them in emergencies are up to the mark in every respect. Yet, unless the Rus sian sailor is greatly belied, he is the last person to be the ideal of a modern man-o'-war's man. The impression made on the observant foreigner in any Russian naval port, alike by the raw recruit and by the finished article, is distinctly unfavorable, and experts who have been on intimate terms with the Muscovite seamen assert that the Russ make the worst sailor in the world.
 Russia, at the outset, IS unfortunate in regard to her supply of raw material available for the marine service. To make good man -o'-war's man, ready, resourceful, obedient and cheerful, ear ly familiarity with the sea is almost indispensable, and, in any circum- stances, there must be some liking for a seafaring life to compensate for the hardshjps certain to be endured and the more rigorous discipline enforced on a battleship. But Russia, despite her vast extent of territory and great coast line, has practically no seafaring population of her own race. Her re- sources for naval recruits are limited to the Baltic coast, the shores of Cour- land and the Baltic provinces, so des- ignated, with the Finnish sea line. The

LABOR DAY TO-DAY.

Labor day will not be celebrated on a very large scale in this city. There will be no parade nor general celebra- tion, but the stores will be closed at least part of the day,and all the large manufactories likewise. In the morning Meriden and New Haven ball teams will play at Elm City park. In the af- ternoon Wallingford and the Strouse, Adler team will play deciding game at Savin Rock. The Trades Union will hold their big annual outing at the same place and if the hot weather con- tinues throughout the day it is ex- pected that 10000 people will visit the Rock. The Winchester road has called all it's men into service for to-day, and will handle all the people in good style. Cars will leave the green every two minutes and a half. Besides the ball game In the park there will be sports and athletic games including wheel barrow races sack races and fat mans race.
 The we'll known bathing beaches along the shore will be patronized by many people. The only aquatic events in the vicinity is the regatta at Saeh- ems Head.

THE QUEEN OF HOLLANDS
 DAILY LIFE.

But it was not only the languages which the Queen studied during the last few years there were literature, science, music, and all the subjects that demand the attention of a per- son seeking the highest culture. She rose at seven o'clock, had breakfast at eight and work began at nine. Her general education had been intrusted to Dr. Salverda de Grave, while the court chaplain gave her religious in- struction. and special masters were called in for lessons along their chosen lines of work. Those who taught must be in the room assigned a few minutes before the hour. On the stroke of the clock she entered, and at once began the recitation in hand. If the lesson were not finished at the end of the hour, she rose, bade the teacher good morning, and withdrew. Thus lesson followed lesson until 11:30, when re- creation came. The Queen mother ex- erted herself to make the recess hours enjoyable so that study might be re- sumed with the minimum of reluctance. On rainy days when the usual drive cannot be taken, the mother and daughter sit together for chat, but their fingers are not idle they deftly knit caps and mittens for Christmas gifts.-Ladfes Home Journal.
