Suppose they did: does that qualify or
mollify their loyalty to the party now:
The Registers statement was doubtless
prompted by its great desire to further

Register ought to know that such policy
will not win, no difference how good a

The Boston Herald, in discussing the
outlook of the national election, counts
Iowa among the doubtful states. That
is anticipating things great deal. The
Des MONIES Register says there is no
possible chance for Iowa to be doubtful
unless the present Legislature shall, by
unwise, disturbing, and foolish leg
islation. make it so.

What spectacle the great Democratic
party, the self-styied champions Of liberty
of action, is making Of itself in uncon-
ditionally surrendering the right Of
choice of a candidate and tamely sub
uniting to the direction of one man, and
that in his own personal interest. Cleve-
land is bigger than his party by odds, he
is, in fact a veritable political dictator.

Senator Frye bitterly attacks the re-
Gently negotiated treaty. He declares
that the rights of the fishermen have
been juggled with. The senator ought
to know, and it will not be surprising if
it is shown that under the plausible terms
of the treaty American rights have been
bartered away. 1t is noticeable that in

commend the work of the commission
and advise the Canadians to accept it.

The first paper that received the sigma
tuee OF George Washington as president
was one that had for its predatory caption
this significant language: Whereas.
it is necessary for the support of the gov
eminent, for the discharge of the debts
of the United states and the encourage
ment and protection Of manufacturers
that duties be levied upon goods. wares
and merchandise imported" The same
conditions exist today that made such
policy necessary then. and not only so.
but the periods of greatest prosperity TO
this country, as is abundantly shown by
the records. have been during which this
same system of protection has been EN-
forced, not excepting the years succeed
ing the late civil war. which left IN i'm
mense debt upon the country. The prin-
ciple of protection is inherent in the
human breast and is the great i,npelling
force To action. whether on the part of
the individual. the community or the
government, and the moment il is disre-
garded or lost sight Of, that moment
retrogressiou begins.

1t is asserted that the reason the Dem

change was made simply for the sake of
departure from their custom of quar-
ter of a century, with the hope of some
possible though intangible advantage.
Nevertheless, they will not escape a tor

going to be hot for them all through the

Manitoba matters have been in much
OF mess for some time and they do not
seem to improve with time. \ large
deficit in the PROVINCES exchequer was
reported months ago and the investiga-
tons and attempts to clear up the crook
edness have only served to complicate
matters. If it be true, as reported, that
the old officials who had charge Of the
finances have emigrated, possibly the
new hands in the deal may be able to at
least make a showing Of the condition OF
public affairs as they now exist. This
will serve them as a basis for future
operations, though it will hardly afford
them clue for the recovery of the pub
lie funds that have been squandered OR
appropriated to private use by dishonest
officials.

Says an experienced farmer: 1.-The
earlier corn is planted, the heavier the
ears; it is. moreover, surer crop than
that of late planting; therefore, have
your land prepared as soon as it may be
in condition to work" These sugges-
tons are good and timely, but in addi-
ton to them the character of seed has
much to do with the success of the crop.
The EAGLES position on the question of
early varieties of corn has been verified
wherever and whenever acted upon.
Make preparation for early planting and
use early seed and good crops may be
relied upon.

J. A. RostWfek Gives She Reasons Why the Company Has Delayed in BuiId- ing the New <Depot-Work to be Be- gun Directly-Letter to General s. E. MerWIn.
 General S. E. Merwin has received letter from J. A. Bostwick, one of the men who bought the Derby railroad, telling why the new terminal facilities have not been built MT. Bostwick says that obstacles have been thrown in the way. The letter is as follows:
 NEW YORK, April 6, 1888. General s. E. Merwin, New Haven, Conn. My dear sir: am informed that there has been considerable dissatisfaction expressed on account of the delay in changing the New Haven and Derby depot terminals to the property originally bought by me for that purpose at New Haven.
 I can assure you that these delays have not been caused by any want of action by our friends; the facts are that we had no idea there would be any obstacles thrown in the way of the depot being changed to the property we have purchased, but as it is we have progressed very slowly.
 It was long time before we obtained con- sent from the city to close the streets, and it has been long time since we applied to the railroad commissioners for approving the location. We understand now the decision in this matter will be rendered the last of this month or early in May; our people are ready to commence work as soon as the mat ter is decided.
 It would have been folly for us to have vacated all the houses on the property until the matter was decided, and our agent has been leasing the same, subject to vacation on reasonable short notice.
 No leases have been made for an extended period and none will be made. Engineers have been constantly at work upon the route from Derby to connection wiS6 the Housatonic railroad for several months, and it is only this week that the railroad commis- sioners have rendered the final decision as to our location. The contract has already been closed with agreement that the work is to be completed in August.
 do not see how it was possible for our people to have done differently than they have done, as the obstacles to overcome have been entirely beyond our control.
 The property bought in New Haven has been bought for no other purpose than for terminals of the New Haven and Derby rail road, as contemplated in MT. Starbuck's agreement with the city, and will be used for the same as soon as the proper authorities permit us to do so. Yours very truly,
 J. A. BosTwICK.

To a PassorEA Beautiful DemOnstra.
 tfon - The Recent International
 Council at the National Capital.
 Rev. Phebe A. Hanaford, who quite recent ly returned from Washington where she has been attending the international council of women, conducted services at her church yesterday morning and evening. At the morning service there was 8 very pleasant surprise awaiting the reverend lady. On the table before the pulpit was beautiful pill low of flowers upon which was interwoven with English violets the word "Welcome." /" Just before the reading of opening hymn the entire Sunday school, each hearing bouquet of flowers, marched up the aisle. After singing Welcome Home" they marched around inside the altar rail and deposited the flowers on the table at the feet of their pas- tor. Mrs. Hanaford was very much affected at this unlocked for demonstration of kind feeling, and in few words thanked them most affectinglY for their welcome. Instead of regular sermon the pastor occupied the time in narrating the events that took place in Washington during Holy week. She read a portion of a sermon preached by Rev. Annie H. Shaw, the first regularly or dained woman Methodist preacher. Last night she took as her text "The Lord gave the word great was the company of wo- men who published it." and talked concerning the work and influence of the council.
 Mrs. Hanaford took quite 8 prominent part in the exercises at Washington. Her voice was the first heard in the council, as she read the opening hymn at the religious ser~ vice held in Albaugh's Opera House on Palm Sunday after calling the vast audience to & moment of silence in which to recall the fact that God is spirit and must be worshipped in spirit and in truth.
 During her absence Mrs. Hanaford not only assisted in various ways at the opera house and at the Riggs House where the of ficers and delegates had their headquarters, but spoke at the Woman's Centenary associa- ton held in the Universalist church, address ed educational meeting held in the Riggs House parlors, and temperance meeting held in the Soldiers Home. She, also made an after dinner speech at Wiliard's where the Six O'Clock club were discussing the future of women in our country, showing with ex- tended opportunity would come extended helpfulness. On Easter morning she assisted MT. Livermore, who preached on immortality at the "Church of Our Father" and on East CT evening Mrs. Hanaford preached an ap- propriate discourse entitled "Through Sor- row to Joy" in the First Protestant Metho dist church of Washington, assisted by the pastor and by Rev. Sarah M. Perkins of Ohio. New Haven Colony Historical Society.
 There will be meeting of this society this evening at o'clock. Hon. William P. Sheffield of Newport, R. T., will read a paper on "Anne Hutchinson and Mary Dyer" There will be directors meeting at 7:30.

SOCIAL SCIENCE LEAGUE.
The League and ThO Sunday Obser,

The League and IhO Sunday Observ- ance Committee.
 Miss Gertrude B. Kelly of Holyoke, who was to address the Social Science league yes- terday on "Liberty and Rights, ," did not put in an appearance, and tke few who assem-
 bled took advantage of the opportunity of
 fered to discuss the ground taken by the Sun. the meetings of the league ought to be
 stopped, as they are in violation of the laws of the Sabbath day. Henry J. Flentje, aa chairman, called the meeting to order. He said, after explaining that the object of the
 meeting was to adopt resolutions in regard to the stand taken by the Sunday observance committee: ''We meet here to discuss social questions, and as long as we conduct our selves as we ought there can be no ground for objection. The churches to-day do not do as they ought. They are in the service of Mammon."
 A resolution was presented by T. ". Curtis and voted to be adopted by the league, the substance of which is: "That the Sunday observance committee has condemned the the laws of the Sabbath day and intend to do all in their power to stop the holding of these meetings. While the league respects these outspoken words of the committee, it is assured that they are not at fault and re- gpectfully invite the members of the commit tee to meet with them at any time or place for the presentation of the views of each on this question of Sunday laws and observ- ance, their origin and justification"

long procession of lovely women of ages past. This is all very well, but the laureate would have done the world greater service if he had only told the women of the present how they could improve their health and en- hance their charms. This he might easily have done by recommending the use of pr. Pierce's Fevorite Prescription. Health is the best friend of beauty, and the innumerable ills to which women are subject are it's worst enemies Long experience has proven that the health of womankind and the stFayorite Prescription" walk hand in hand and are in separable. It is the only medicine for women sold by druggists under positive guarantee from the manufacturers that it will give sat- isfsctjon in every case or money will be re- funded. This guarantee has been printed on for many years.

Prefers the Opera Company.

Miss Edna Johnson is a pretty chorus girl playing in the Wilbur Opera company, which was at the Grand Opera House last week. When Miss Johnson left her home in Dayton, Ohio, to join the company her departure was in rather unceremonious manner, her par- ents not knowing whither she had gone. A student in the theological department of Yale, who resides in the same city, last week undertook to persuade Miss Johnson to give up the stage and return to her home. He organized an impromptu prayer meeting in the young ladys room at the Adams House, and undertook to show her the error of her ways, but without avail. Miss Johnson likes her mode of living and will continue to travel with the opera company.

 Tomorrow evening Prof. DuBois reads a paper before the Philosophical club on ''Science and Miracle.''
 The same evening Prof. Gibbs will favor the Mathematical club with paper on "A Comparison of the Elastic and the Electrical Theories of Light with Respect to the Law of Double Refraction and the Dispersion of Color"
 Stagg pitched a strong game against the Brooklyns on Washington park, Brooklyn, Saturday. The professionals used three bat teries during the game and came out vic- terieus by the score of to 3. Capt. Stagg was hit only five times, while Yale made six hits. Yale's fielding was poor, making nine errors to their opponents three.
 The Harvard nine opened its season Satur- day by defeating the Dartmouth boys to 1 on Jarvis field. The game was a tame one.
 Yesterdays New York papers speak in high terms of Stagg's pitching against the Brooklyns the day before. The Times said that Stagg covered himself with glory and that but for costly fielding errors the col legians would have won, as none of the eight runs made by the Brooklyns were earned. The heavy batters of the Brooklyn team were unable to solve Stagg's curves. They made only five hits and of these four were made by two men. Yais's errors cost her the game. The team is not definitely settled upon as yet, but as soon as it is the team work will improve and with the needed practice Yale will give the Harvard and Princeton teams plenty of business. Captain Stagg is still himself and will afford opposing college players in the league little comfort when they face him in the coming championship games.
