FIRE RELIEF.

The disastrous forest fires in this state In the

5000 persons of their means of support and
swept away between 200 and 300 lives. The
public contributions for relief were munifcent,
but fearing they might not be adequate the
legislature in February last appropriated $3.50

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.
The last report Of the Commissioner of Rail-
roads shows that during the year 1881 there
were 33l casualties to railroad employees In
this state, of which 81 resulted fatally. The
number of employees killed was one for every
2o6, and OF injured, but not killed, one for each
al. would recommend such additional legis-
lation as may tend to preserve from injury
railroad employees in this state. This may be
done by requiring the use of such mechanical
appliances as shall be found necessary for the
prevention OF accidents, and by holding TO a
strict responsibility the railraad companies,
making them liable to the injured or their
families for all damages, except where the in
jury was caused by the carelessness of the in
jured party. The companies might also be re-
quired to set apart a small per centage Of their
earnings for the relief OF dependent families Of
employees killed in the performance Of duty.
INSPECTION or OILS.
The latest report OF the state inspector OF
oils, shows that during the year
1881 the fees collected for inspection amounted
to SOS, 26l7 40, while the total cost of inspection
was but $l7,2ls34, leaving a surplus of
S11 043.41 to be placed In the state treasury.
The collection Of this surplus by the state is
the imposition OF tax on illuminat-

The College Societies.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 It is an unfortunate fact that ons who a!- tacks an existing system is sure to be accused of selfsh motives. It is unfortunate be- cause the mere mention of such motives close the ears of the public te anything, however good, which the se cused person may have to say. It gives me great pleasure, therefore, to be able to deny the truth of the intimation contained in your remarks concerning my article in the Nation that the writer was probably an ex- Junior society man who had failed to be elected to '.Bones" or "Ksys," and so of Q Junior society, nor have ever been 8 member of any secret society, being opposed to them on principle. So far from being influenced by election to speak against Senior societies, had started an hgi- tation against them before the elections of last May, and had expressly declared my in. tention of opposing them this year. Any ap- plication of the ssFox and Grapes'' fable is, therefore inappropriate.
 You remark that the evils which men, toned are Incidental" rather than ''funda- mental" Even II this be so, they are none the less serious. But confess fail to see how the fact that Yale loses money s'does not go a great way towards proving that these so- the money she can get. Oramped as she Is by lack of funds, any cause which tends to keep sher poor must be @ serious esL It Is a noticeable fact that most of the prominent benefactors of Yale, who are graduates of the college, were society men. This shows, if it shows anything, that tfs great majority of non-socisty Yale

 You speak of my omission of any mention of Junior societies. confined myself to the evils of Senior societies, first from lack or space; second, because Junior societies are not 60 powerful for evil third, because their evils have already attracted the attention Of the faculty. Moreover, the injuries resulting from Junior societies are largely confined to the members. The evils of Senior societies affect the members, the ''neutrals' and the college.
 One very bad result of the society system which did not elaborate in my article to the Nation is it's effect on the personal character of the members of the lower classes. 1eu truly say that "the present ambition of the average Yalensian is to belong to class socie- ty." Such an ambition is extremely demor- alizing and the servility which results from 1t is deplorable. It makes students forget that they should be gentlemen and urges them to aSts beneath the dignity Of men.
 l am glad that the JOURNAL AND COURIER has taken 8 stand on this matter. There has been belief among many, if net most of the students, that the New Haven papers, esps- cially those which have society men as their college reporters, were closed to di1cusslon of the society system. The action of the city papers which have taken notice of the agitation win serve to dispel the idea. In conclusion l will only say that there are movements on foot in the Senior class which, if successful, will do much to force this ques tion to an issue and to induce some action on the part of the college authorities to one side or the other. But the alumni must help us.
