SNIPING iPastor's Letter, Calculated To
The all pervading power of Wil- kelm Is felt even in K&st Rockaway Creek. The clams are reported as having ceased Hquirting at low tide lest their favorite water shall be lu eluded in a war zone.
The Allies will thank us for the thoughtful consideration which we have been giving the problem "What iihall we do with him after we have him weU licked?" No Elba, no St. He¬ lena, no otber islet of the sea in •trange and lonesome parts, Mes¬ sieurs. But Splendid Isolation. A chateau on some lofty eminence past which the commerce of the world ahall move in daily review; an ob¬ servatory (without a lift), whose top shall be visited once when the golden orb of day pierces the eastern hori- bon, again at dewey eve when he ¦inks into the western sea, and al¬ ways visited on foot; Sundays and half holidays excepted, the year round; British war ships in sight and constant patrol, a regiment or two ot Russians doing the gooaestep in daily parade on the plain hard by; Zeppe¬ lins, with French crews, hovering and soaring from sun to sun. giving added picturesqueness to the tout ensemble —^and ever within telescopic vision the beloved Fatherland. Why not, then. Masters, as a permanent abode for a retired war lord, Helgoland.

Claude Kitihin, of North Carolina, will be the leader of the Democratic majority in the next House. What's in a name? Much or nothing, accord¬ ing to the view point. Major McClel- lan, when criticized by the New York Evening Post, ot which Oswald Vil- lard, tile f'minent negrophile, was the owner, and Rollo Ogden the editor, was wont to remark tiiat anybody namod Oswald or Kollo could never possibly .set the East and North riv¬ ers on flie, thus i)etokenlng a frame of mind that was utterly indifferent to their criticlnm. Possibly a Claude Jefferson might have written Ibe Doir- laration of Independence or a Claude Jackson won the Battle of New Or¬ leans, or even a Claude Murphy be the le-ader of TammaTiy Hall. But npon mature reflectio;: we guess not. However, let not the unterrllied De¬ mocracy l)e crist down. Claude rhymes with Maude and gawd and lord and a lot of other sood worUs, and a tar Led song bird nuiy ari.so during the ne.Nt Conme.'ss that will! lend imperishable fame in a poem to | the leader of the next Democrat U;! majority, if not to tliy majority itwolf.

FreepQrt, it has uterly failed. Who are the citizens or voters who be- llevii that Roland M. Lamb, Ernest S. iRandall, Daniel Raynor or Frank- l>h Bedell, either Individually or as a body, through neglect or lack of knowledge, would wllfuly misappro¬ priate the funds of the village or who would deprive the village of one cent of revenue?
There is no doubt that a system for heating by oil was Installed at the Municipal PHint, experiments and tests made, all at the direction of the Trustees, and. at a cost which will not exceed $1678. Official re¬ ports of the test have not been filed. Unofficial statements report the ex¬ periment a failure and the loss to the village from $1500 to $2000.
Investigation will show positively that the taxpayers will not suffer the loss of one cent, if the reported fail¬ ure be true. The cost of installation was $1100; the price of the oil used per gallon. $.0285. The tanks in¬ stalled for the heating system will be used for the storage of oi! to be used on the roads. Oil used on our' roads and in the system is the same quality. The price of oil if bought for road use is $.067 7-8 cents a gal¬ lon; If bought for heating $.0285.
