The officers of the Penguin also sue

Those generals are terribly hot-head-
ed fellows. from Miles away down the
line to Tanner. Gen. Miles says things
about Gen. Eagan. and Gen. Eagan
savagely answers. going 80 far as to
invent a few new brands Of liars to
call Gen. Miles in order that no point
may be overlooked. And then comes
Gen. John Riley Tanner with an as
sauit on the good and gentle Gen. John
McNulta. who in turn fires few words
in reply. II the far-famed physical
director of the Athletic club desires to
win renown of everlasting quality he
should match these generals for bouts

Report comes from Europe that a
quarrel has arisen between Kaiser
wilhelm and his chancellor, Prince
Hohenlohe. 1t can not be very vio-
lent quarrel. for Prince Hohenlohe is
little more than the kaiser's hired
man." Since Bismarck's fall the
kaiser's ministers have become what
those OF Frederick the Greats were. a
collection OF secretaries and mere de-
partment heads. 1t is about time for
Prince Hohenlohe to fall. that is to de-
velop sufficient independence to COM
pei his retirement from office.

Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1899-04-14

has It recently been made more plain
than in the following editorial from the
Lawrence Sun, which is published in a
city whose entire prosperity is dependent
upon he well-being ni its working classes:
AT each session of the great and gen
eral court many bills are presented
rightly termed foolish measures. No fra-
ture OF the public couvenienceis subjected
To more foolish legislation then the rail.
roads, both electric and steam. A mra.
sure calling for the abolition of grade
crossings is worthy OF passage for dan
gerous condition would be ubviated. but
bill requiring railroads to TRANSPORT
rowing shells free is senseless legislation.
AT this season of the legislature a hill
has been introduced for lower fares on al,
railroads within % miles of Boston. To
pass such bill would be injurious to all
cities and towns at the distance from
Boston to Lawrence. The fares today
are low enough and il they were higher
the business interests would be better
served. The passengers on the railroads
are treated well regarding the fares. and
any notable reduction would be felt by
local Storekeepers.
The trading public that patronize
Boston can well afford to pay existing
rates. The local stores are we'll supplied
with goods of all varieties and the assert
ment is equal to every occasion. The To-
cal business men are in need of all the
support possible and more people should
patronize the local men rather than 20
to Boston. II Boston was hundred
miles away from Lawrence the local bust
ness interests would be better served
The present passenger tariff between this
city and Boston is neither too high nor
too low. 1t is good medium and should
, not be subjected to the dangers of a
further reduction"
