Let il be known that there is a question
between a Republic and an Empire, the
right of the many or the few to govern,
and you viii find there is life in the old
land yet; on that political battlefield you
will hear her old slogan, ''Sic Semper Ty-
rannis," as she stands with her heel up
lifted to stamp out the life of despotism
and her arm thrown back to strike for the
cause of popular sovereignty. The South
has neither sought nor taken any lead IN
these questions. 1t is the Liberal Republic
cans who have done 50, and, believing
them to be right TO this extent, we follow
them. We will aid TO elect their candi-
date, and if he be true TO his pledge he viii
fulfill his obligations to us. We will claim
nothing from him to which he is not
pledged, or which does not flow legitimate
" as a consequence from these pledges,
nor will we demand any violation Of his
good faith or consistency. At the same
time we wish it TO be understood that We
abandon no opinions merely because we
fail to make issues upon them now when 1t
would be vain TO do so. We desire an
honest President, an honest Government,
and an honest people, and in my opinion
nothing can better subserve these ends than
truth aud fair-dealing in regard to this cleo
ton anda all other matters.

been saying, and give you my reasons for

Trouble Among YaIe Students.

There is serious trouble among the Yale stu
dents. It appears that there is q very serious
feeling among the students against the members
Of Scroll and Key and Skull and Bone Societies.
The champion base ball flag has been missing for
some time, and it has finally leaked out that the
members OF the Scroll and Key Society have, the
other students say, stolen it and locked 1t UP in
their hall among their trophies. This has exas-
perated the rest Of the college to such an extent,
that they have taken to annoying the members Of
the society in every way possible On the nights
OF their meetings. Last week Thursday night,
they, stretched wires across the sidewalk and
tired to trip the members up as they left their
hall, and set of a bowl Of Greek fire, which had
the effect Of frightening the society men great
~: Thursday night the Keys men, as they are
called. heard that there was an attempt to be
made to lock them in their hall, it being the occa-
siou OF one of their annual festivities. They ap-
Piled to the police Office for protection, and
ohcers Merwin aud Doughertv were detailed
TO watch the building till o'clock and prevent
any attempt. At the time Of writing nothing
had ceen done. The students outside the socie-
y cay that they will use every means to get the

to the society. The students were further e.
