requests as compared with the cur rent years figures. The Silas Bron- son Library budget for 1882. as proposed. calls for $500 less than the figure allowed this year.
 All the departmental budgets are not yet in, Secretary Kelly said this morning. However, depart ments that are delaying the filing of the figures have been notified to hurry some so that the tentative 1882 budget will be available for the board of finance on November 1st.
 The board will begin official perusal of the 1882 budget figures at that time. The work of setting up the items will take most of No- vember, it is believed. The final figures will go to the aldermen at their first meeting in December. According to present indications the tax rate may possibly stay at 35 mills although every effort will be made to bring about a reduc- fion

Boston, Mass, Oct. 22-The rail- roads of the United States must follow the example of the New England roads and enter boldly ana energetically into the business or highway transportation to meet the connection offered by buses ana trucks. according to Milton w. liar rison. president of the National Se- curity owners association, repre- senting banks, insurance compan- ies. and individual investors ID railroads and utility securities.
 In a communication to Robert ID. Brewer, president of the Mer- chants National Bank of Boston, ana chairman of the New England committee of the Security owners association, MT Harrison declares his belief that the public in all sec tions would welcome the entrance of the railroads in the field or mo- tor transport as a supplement to their regular service. Federal anu state laws should be liberalized, ne states. to permit the carriers to op- crate trucks and buses as an integ- ral part of their transportation business. instead of being forced to carry on these operations through subsidiary companies as at present.
 A national transport service which would be more prompt, nex- ible, and complete than anything offered today would result from such a plan, according to MT liar rison.
 Facilities Already Available
 Headers in the transportation 6eld have long recognized that sooner or later the railroads must embark seriously int othe bus ana truck business" Mir Harrison says. Tt is regrettable that they have not already done so. The facilities they own. their remarkable sys- tenn of communication. and the splendid opportunity they present for coordinated train-to-truck. train -to-bus. and train-to-piane service, all point to new ana

Big Rush at Stamp and

With Christmas three days dis tant, the Waterbury post office IS all set on Christmas time schedule. Besides the four regular stamp and parcel post windows, the general delibery window has been convert ed into a stamp window on the Brook street side of the post office. All windows, including money order and registry, will remain open till B o'clock every night between now and Christmas.
 To get the quickest service pos sible do your mailing in the morn ing hours, says the postmaster. The big rush Is between ? and 4 in the afternoon, he repeats.
 "Use the air mail if you waited too long to send your greeting cards to distant points" Mir Col grove recommends. "Air mail post ed in this office before p. m. daily will arrive in midfest cities in one day, and in the far west the second day"
 MT Colgrove this morning re- marked that many patrons are con- fused on the postage rate for un- sealed envelopes containig greet ing cards. This rate is cent and a half, but many people are mail ing them with only one cent post age. If cards beare writetn mat ter, they take cents whether sealed or unsealed.

They proclaimed. to the country that this effort was merely a plan to embarrass the president, and the president remained as supine towards his own proposals as he had during the Houses rape !ot legislative proprieties.
 When, after the 1880 elections democratic ascendency in the House loomed, the republicans sought solace in their theory that the democrats would quarrei among themselves, and show their incapacity to function. It Is all changed now, and the g.o.p. mag mates are bewildered and are fight ing among themselves. All their prophesies of democratic disunion have gone awry. The democratic ma ajority voted unanimously for Garner of Texas to be the speaker. The republicans squabbled as to whether Tilson, their leader for years and the presidents choice for that post, or Shell should cap tain them and finally decided for Shell.
 Through their newspapers they had advised the country that the new majority would disintegrate over the competition between southerners and northerners for committee chairmanships.
 The democrats caucused and unanimously selected Rainey of Illinois for their floor leader and apportioned the chairmanships without a ripple.
 Now there has been formed a sort of joint committee of House and Senate democrats to insure harmony of action between the two groups. This committee com- prises the strongest men in both houses. Democratic disunion has proved a myth, The democrats are functioning with perfect smooth ness: the demoraliz lization is all among the republicans who. at this writing do not even know 1T they will be able to continue Gedrge Moses of New Hampshire as president pro tenn of the puta- lively republican Senate.

WashingtOn.-Perh the most interesting development of the ad- vent of the new congress is the change that has come over the spirit of the republicans since they lost control of the house of repre- sentatiyes.
 For fourteen years they have been arrogantly contemptuous oi the democrats; lording it over them, disregarding their proposals land riding roughshod over their approximations.
 It began back when at the close of the war they obtained a major ity and proceeded ruthlessly to nullify anything sought by Presi- dent Woodrow Wilson. It made no difference what the democratic president offered; the mere cir cumstance that it preceded from him was sufficient grounds for denying the legislation. Even a tax reduction-manifes the obvi- ous procedure following the relief of the country from the wars revenue demands-was refused un- til Wilson had left the White House and the revenue bill could have Harding's signature.
 Through the succeeding years the despotic triumvirate - Long worth, Tilson and Snell-was to all intents and purposes the House of Representatives. Tiison, the ma jority ] lder, lined up the huge re- publican majority; Shell saw to it that rules were enforced that choked off discussion, and Long, worth's gavel did the rest. The incubation of the Shoot Hawley tariff bill was a typical instance of the power and cynicism of the re- gime. That bill was framed in the Ways and Means Committee in strict accord with whatever the prospective beneficiaries asked for The favored interests appeared at hearings from which the demo- cratic members of the committee were vigorously excluded. The democrats were not permitted to know anything about the rates un- til they were completed to the lik- ing of the Grundys who had die tated them. Then came the rule that shut off debate. Even their own president was ignored. He had recommended that the tariff be limited to change in agricul- tural schedules and to such indus tries as were actually and demon strably suffering from foreign competition they could not meet. The Big Three, however, knew that behind that recommendation was neither fervor nor determina- tion. In short. they knew the president would take any sort of bill they offered. So the measure
