Lessons of the German Election.


 Out of 161 members elected in the German reichstag contests the social democrats gained 58, and the centre or Catholics filled 60. These are the two leading parties of the empire, and in tue election of 1898 the centre had 102 members and the social democrats but 67, although the latter boiled 2,107, 100 votes, and the Catholics but 1,455,110 The country is sadly gerrymandered against the social democrats, and they will have to poll nearly three million votes in order to secure more seats than the centre.
 On Thursday next the second cleo tions will be held, when 169 seats will be filled. All questions are sunk under the one that relates to control by con servatives or by socialists. The lesser groups are largely swallowed up in the struggle, especially the groups in- clining to conservatism, and the de- sire to combine for the purpose of de- feating the socialists predominates. The keynote of the conservatives is found in the speech of the emperor at the Krupp funeral, where he said of the socialists: "He who does not cut himself of from these people will nor ally bring certain measure of guilt upon his own head" And Essen, where the emperor spoke, increased the SO cial democrat vote from 44oO in 1898 to 22,7O5 this year.
 The social democrats find arrayed against them the emperor, the official and privileged classes and the church, but this alliance does not discourage them in the least. They are ably led, and they have a definite programme, which may be set down in these words:
 One vote for every adult man and wo- man: holiday to be election day; pay ment of members (of the Imperial Diet and state legislatures).
 The government to be responsible to parliament Cat present the emperor can dissolve parliament at wilD; local self government; referendum.
 Introduction of the militia system.
 Freedom of speech and freedom of press. Equality of man and woman before the law.
 Disestablishment of the churches.
 Undenominational schools, with com
 Gratuitousness of legal proceeding.
 Gratuitous medical attendance and burials
 Progressive income tax and succession duty.
 Until Thursdays elections are held 1t will be impossible to state or ever to estimate with satisfaction the out come. If the social democrats gain under the present apportionment one quarter of the seats trey will have to cast over one-third of the votes, and this they expect with the aid of the German women to do. The activity oi the women in behalf of the socialists is the most remarkable feature of the election, for women are proverbially conservative, and large numbers oi them are working for the social demo crat candidates. Their conventions are well attended, and their journals are among the best in the country.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR,
rom inc New York Press

From the New York Press.
 Chances come to every man, but nearly every man asks them to sit down and wait till he is ready to take them, and they move on to the next.
 Woman Is the genius of compromise; she begins by wanting her son to be President; she ends by being satisfied to have him pass the plate in church.
 Just as children are fooled into believ- ing that the drum stick is the best part of the turkey so that they will cry for it. grown-up people are taught that two per- sons can get more out of an income than one.

1 ESLA has told us so many won kCR derful stories of things past,
 present and in the future that people are not surprised to hear of him doing all kinds of remarkable deeds Just now there Is much speculation as to what the famous scientist will do with a tower which he had had erected on Long Island. The tower has been completed since January and as nothing more is being done. a good many persons are wondering what 1t was built for, any way. An exchange says:
 The great tower erected by Nlkola Tesla on the lonely beach at Warden Cliff. on Long Island, has been finished since Jam uary last and yet nothing seems to have been done in the way of practical results. At least Mir. Tesla has not yet taken the public Into his confidence. as he has done so frequently before for he is as silent as the Sphinx as to his achievements or hopes at Warden Cliff.
 The Tesla tower stands on the 1oneliest section of the shore of Long Island, at Warden Cliff. near wading river, at the northern end of the island. It is remote from towns. and if the inventor was seek ing retirement from the inuuisftive peo- pie he could not have hit upon happier spot
 There he has purchased 200 acres and has constructed his laboratory, a long shed-like building. Standing near the western end of the laboratory Is the tower. It is cone-shaped and 15O feet high, work of steel girders fastened to four upright girders running up from the ground.
 It has been known for some time that MT. Tesla has been working on a system of wireless telegraphy, but his failure to accomplish anything definite after these many months would seem to indicate that possibly he Is on another track. It has been facetiously remarked that, perhaps, the tower Is part of a scheme to signal Mars.
 Captious critics are frequently heard criticising the names given to race horses. It Is true that some of them seem to be sad misnomers but as a rule most of the names are very pretty and there are num- bers that are most happy in their applica- tion. It has been suggested that Sad Sam could be improved upon, but this Is an ex- ception, and the men who follow the horses should not be held too strictly to ac- count. Perhaps one of the daintiest names borne by race horse this season is Her Letter. There are many others equally as good Anyway the main thing about a horse is to win. and the touts are not apt to picker over name provided their favorite comes first under the wire

Sidney Does Not Propose to Sell.

y
A gentleman from Sidney, who was
in the city, yesterday, tells the Journal
that his town had no idea of selling
it's snow roller as was minated in an
item. the other day. He said The
snow roller in Sidney is working to the
entire satisfaction of all practical men
in town, and only a few sore headed
ones are making any talk about its
not working well. 1t has been run
over "a miles of road within few
days and is highly complimented, and
if the Augusta street department has
any idea OF having a roller to use, this
winter, the quicker it goes to work and
builds one, the sooner the city will have
good roads. for the Sidney roller is not
for sale, nor will it be this year. Only
Il few are opposed to the roller and
want to see us so back to the old fash
ined sled with stick under it. They
cannot bear to see any modern i'm
footsteps of their grandfathers. Don't
think for a moment that Sidney wants
to sell her roller"
The Sidney roller was built by
Fletcher & Robbins of this city, and
the town paid 500 for it, year ago.
There was little occasion for it's use,
last winter, but there promises to be
more, this winter. Six horses are re-
Quired for it and it works much better
than a triangle or a sled with stick
under it.
