sue But since 1892, in the absence OF
active voluntary work by the State
committees and the league, the number
of returns have gradually decreased In
1896 less than three hundred statements
were filed, and only about 100000 was
reported as having been paid for politi-
cal purposes, and in 1898 only about
one hundred and fifty statements were
filed, and less than $4,000 was re-
ported as having been expended. Max
ing all due allowance for less active
campaign work than in 1892, and other
causes, it is evident that the law is not
complied with as when it first went in
to effect, and that from year to year
fewer political committees conform to
it's provisions.
This is not very cheering. If such
reform cannot maintain itself in good

are certain that the birds never come to
Ridgewood unless winter is at an end

This will do for a sign until it falls.

How much good, if any, Connecticuts

plain. Perhaps Connecticut was Sc
much better than the act limited it was
that there wasn't as much room for
reform as some thought. Complaint is
made in Massachusetts that the Cor

worked just as it was expected to. The
Massachusetts Election Laws league is
going to see what it can do to make the
law more efficient. At first, ii appears,
the operation of the act was salutary.

stand, as never before, eXtortionate de-
mands from political "leeches." 1t

of the payment of naturalization fees,

since then the expenditures on these ac-
counts have been greatly reduced. 1t

In the far off southern sea,
And he said to himself, with snlcker and
smile,
I'm glad that the Boweree

For these nlggers are up to snuff,

He went, those folks to meet,
And they sized him up right then and

As much too tough to eat.
Then the old kings daughter, up spoke she,
And said, Dear pa, you'd better let me
Take this tough young man in hand"
So around Jacks neck her arms she flung
And cooed like a sprngtlme dove.
And the sailorman who, though tough, was
young,
Soon found himself much In love.
Oh, alack and alas for woman's wies 4
For he saw not her aim,
And under the influence OF her smiles
Quite tender he became.

| EMPEROR WILLIAMS NEW GUN.
The Emperor's new shooting-gun that
| | mentioned some time ago has caused
so much sensation abroad that I sub
| join detailed description of it. The
weapon Is not quite the invention of
Mr.. Maxim, but is based chiefly on his
principles. 1t resembles the Mauser re-
volver in all important points, has a
length of foot, and the magazine
contains ten cartridges, just as the
Mauser revolver. The rifed barrel is
constructed to hold a projectie COW
cred with nickel, and shaped at the end
like Dum-dum bullet Cordite is the
propelling power, and the rifle is sight
ed up to a distance of one thousand
metres. The whole mechanism does not
contain a single screw. The pistol fits
into a wooden frame, which together
with the butt-end proper, forms the
shouder-rest and gives the revolver the
appearance of a magazine rifle. The
whole weapon is easily managed with
one hand, and the Emperor has ex
pressed great satisfaction after using it,
especially in reference to it's accuracy.
The price hardly exceeds one hundred
MAJ Ms LuC improvement lllut wi.
Maxim added to the weapon are pat
ent secret, but are chiefly connected
with external additions concerning the
magazine and the butt-end. All the ex-
perts assume that the new rifle will
have a great future in warfare. AS the
ordinary Mauser revolver, which was
used by English officers in the Soudan
campaign proved to be SO excellent, the
new weapon ought to give still greater
satisfa elton. AS soon as it is more gen.
orally known, there Is no doubt that
this arm, which can be more comforta-
bly, manipulated and offers greater
range and increased accuracy, will be
introduced into the armies Of most
countries. At all events, it seems GER
tain that experiments will be made here
on and after the first Of April.-Berlin

THE TROUBLESOME FILIpINOs

Aguinaldo is manifestoing again. This
time he accepts the situation caused by
the unexpected provocation Of the
Americans" while lamentng the hostili-
ties, which, he says, he tried to avoid
by every means, making humiliating
concessions and toleratng insults and
outrages of the army of occupation
against the people of Manila He says
that he is prepared to sacrifice every
thing to maintain the Integrity of the
national honor" calls upon all ''to wit
ness the good faith and honesty of his
intentions, and complains that he has
been treated as a rebel because 1 de-
Tended the national interests instead of
posterous pretensions." And so forth
and so on.
Assassination and incendiarism ap-
pear to be a large part of Aguinaldos
plan of campaign. He doesn't dare to
risk an open fight and his sharpshoot-
ers wound or kill an American when
they can. A dispatch from Manila says
that incendiaries caused enormous loss
there last evening. The situation is a
very troublesome one and somewhat like
that which used to accompany an In
dian outbreak in the West. Expert
enced Indian fighters will soon be after
the brown men as they used to be after
the red men, and it is expected that
they will get some of them before the
rainy season opens. The Indians have
lions are good, and perhaps the Fill
pinos will be.

MORE HOPE FOR FRINGE.

There Is decidedly more hope for
France than there has been in the
minds of many who have been sure that
she could not escape another revolution
The fact that so sound and judicious a
man as Loubet was elected President
| by large majority was cheering Paris
| is behaving better. And President Lou
| bets first message has made very
good impression both in and out of
France. 1t is entirely calm, reasonable
and hopeful. After pointing out that
the successful meeting of the crisis has
made an impression upon the world he
asks: Why, then, may we not hope for
similar understanding in internal af-
fairs? Does not this understanding ex-
list in the country? Is there the least
doubt Of the necessity for paying equal
respect to the essential organs of soci-
ETY., the chamber which celebrates free
ly on the laws, the magistracy which
applies them, the government which in
sures their execution and the national
army which safeguards the independ-
ence and integrity of the mother land?
That army which the country loves and
which it is right in loving, because the
whole nation fulfils in it the same duty
of self-denial and discipline and knows
- will And thereib a faithful Guardian
of it's honor and laws.
1t was feared that Loubet was not
strong enough, but he has certainly
made a good start, and 1t is evident
that he is going to have strong support.
The death of the French republic doesn't
seem as imminent as it did.
