The Smyrna Town Council at its last

The reduction Is slight and was done 10

town charter which prohibits Smyrna
from raising more than $4,000 from its
taxables clear Of all expenses OF colleo-

is always appreciated. ii Is nevertheless
a pity That Smyrna is forced to such pro-
visions. 1t is an undisputed fact that the
tax rate is entirely too low for a pro-
gressive town such as Smyrna should be.

the recent Republican primaries some

The meaere vote in the Democratic

RECOUNT IN new YORK.

THE bill demanding a recount OF the vote

Mayor Mcclellan was declared chosen to that
Office has been passed by the General Assembly
Of that state. The law makers were spurred to
such action by Governor Hughes. The bill will
so to Mayor Mcclellan himself for approval He
is expected to veto the measure and then the
General Assembly will probably pass it over the
mayors objection. AT the time of the election
there was well founded suspicion that William
X. Hearst had been counted out as mayor. His
opponents resorted to all the legal technicalites
possible to prevent recount and to ascertain
whether the mayor had been apparently elected
through foul means.
Governor Hughess high sense OF justice would
not permit him to condone any fraud upon the
ballot. lie is not in any way favorable to Hearst,
but he stands for free ballot and fair count.
Hughes would probably prefer to see Mcclellan
in the mayors chair than that Hearst should
hold that position, but no man is entitled to hold
any public office II his certificate thereto is ant-
ed with fraud And the recount will determine
who was elected Mayor of New York.

Plain worda.

Freeman. the historian, 1t was said,
was apt to grow irritable over matters
of intellectual difference. One day he
was at the Macmillans' when the con-
versation turned upon the subject of
Ireland. Mr.. Macmillan said that, for
his part, he was in favor of granting
autonomy.
Whereupon Freeman began to growl
at the use of Greek word.
why can't you speak English" de-
manded he, land say home rule in
stead of speaking Greek, which you
don't know r.
One Of the guests flushed with anger
and ventured to reproye Freeman, call
ing his attention to the respect due
their host and at the same time paying
tribute to Mr.. Macmillan's remarkable
abilities. But, although Freeman did
not apologize in so many words, he
smoothed the matter over by humor-
GUS repetition of his criticisms Later
some one mentioned govt. There you
go again. exclaimed Freeman. 'sWhy
can't we call it toe woe?"

The details Of the attack made by the
peasants on Galatz show that pitched
battle was fought. Three battalions of
Iinfantry attempted to stall the entry of
the peasants into the city. but the
peasants, armed with pitchforks and
scythes, fought desperately and had the
troops almost routed when the gov
ernor ordered the guns loaded with
grape shot to be fired at the insur-
gents who wavered and then fled.

Ward County Farmer Is Accused Of
Unlawful Capitalization.

Taylor. the Ward county farmer, is now
in the county Jail on the charge of un-
lawful cohabitation.
Taylor has been living with woman
on his farm as his wife and they are
the parents Of four children. Two
weeks ago he came to this city and
procured marriage license which en-
titled him to become the husband of
Ida Mae Lee, a young woman whom he
had known for some time.
The first woman alleges that she had
no idea that she was not the lawfully
welded wife of Taylor, having sup
posedly married him in Scotland and
then come to this country.
He was held under bonds of $4,000
which he could not furnish.
II Is the intention Of the county au-
thorities to push it to the limit as the
neighbors Of Taylor are very much
saroused over his actions.
