Gen. Butter.

EDWARD EVERETT was once defeated as
candidate for Governor OF Massachusetts by
one vote.
Gen. BUTLER has something still to boast
Of in comparison He was not defeated, like
the accomplished EVERETT, by single vote,
but by handsome majority.

Ex.shoe dealer THOMAS, Who hanged him

Ex-shoe dealer THOMAS, who hanged him
self Ia East Grand street because OF Tammany's
defeat. and his consequent loss OF anticipated
Office. acted foolshly The chances are that
even II Tammany had won. the politicians who
promised him the place would have forgotten
him. But. even supposing that they had re-
membered him and given him petty office. he
would not have been happy. No man OF decent
ability with health and strength can afford TO
pass years OF his life in a business which at the
most only supports him in idleness for the time
being. while it destroys his business habits
with his independence. Friends OF successful
candidates will do well to take the lesson otpoor
THOMAS death to heart Those who fail to get
office will in the end often fare better than their
successful competitors

Congressional District OF Connecticut by plu-
ralitY OF over 100 votes. On last Tuesday
FREDERICK MILES, Republican, was elected
10 the House from this district by nearly / 900
plurality. The explanation is that the nominee
OF the Democratic Convention. Mr. BRUGGER-
HoFF. having been publicly accused during the
canvass of being HAYES Democrat. did not
successfully refute the charge. There are a
good many Democrats in that corner OF Con-
necticut who prefer an out-Rnd-out Republican.

1t looks as though Harvard might have
her hands full OF boating business next summer.
The race with Yale must be made OF course.
and the sentiment OF the students seems TO be
favorable to a contest with both Cornell and
Columbia. and TO sending a crew to the Henley
regatta In England. Columbia's brilliant vic
tory on the Thames has awakened new enthu-
siasm among college oarsmen. The Stewards
cup. now held by the Columbia crew. must be
sent back 70 be rowed for next season by col.
lege crews and the desire exists naturally that
II may be brought a second time to Americas
shores. Columbia unQuestionably meditates
entering her four. Harvard talks OF doing so
too. and Yale and Cornell doubtless have secret
longings for the prize although no public ex-
preston has been made
1t is plain. therefore that American colleges
are to be represented in the Henley regatta /;
and II Is also plain that the contest is to become
national one. Britain's students thirst TO re-
cover the lost trophy. American ones should be
not less ambitious to retain 1t. What. then. is
the best course for our boys to pursue 1t is
ridiculous for Harvard and Yale to assert their
boating supremacy over Columbia and Cornell
for the latter have proved winners in CALAMITY
contested races. II one American crew only IL
10 cross the ocean II should DO the best crew
America can furnish. II is by no means GER
tain that Columbia has better crew than Har-
ward or Yale. or that Harvard or Yale have
better crews than Cornell IL seems Just that
each OF the four colleges should. in some way
have n chance 10 row for the Stewards cup.
This end might be accomplished by arranging
a preliminary contest between crews from the
four institutions. the winner OF which should
represent us in the English race. Or, IL a
stronger crew could be obtained. men might be
picked from the four crews 10 form one crew.
College Iealousies and riyalries should be-
dropped in the desire 10 bring the trophy back
to our shores.
1t is favorable sign that the question is at
tracing attention thus early. There Is no rea-
son why we should not make most creditable
