about this.' There is no law in the church
that allows the bishop thus to muzzle the
elder, butit is the practice that has been in
vogue for years and is carried out to the
very letter." Mr.. Rice himself had just
discovered that six years ago he had been
the subject of charges made by presiding
elder. 'They did not have the moral
courage to appeal to my manhood" he
said, "but sat there in that dark, secret
chamber, and like towards Matched up this
plot to stab me, while the bishop sat and
and then said: Don't say any
thing" Mr.. Rice closed by stating that
unless there was some "change in the
policy of the church in regard to this, as
well as other things, there would como
revolution in the ministry" The seventy
five ministers present showed by frequent
applause and cries of 'That's true" "You
are right" their sympathy with Mr.. Rice's
attack. We haven't heard that presiding
elders in this part of the world are dark
and secret plotters and stabbers.

THE PEOPLES PETITION.


We print this morning, on the fourth
page, the full list of signatures to the pc
tition to the board of aldermen asking for
the removal of the Big Four. 1t is a most
impressive list. In it are to be found the
names of many of the heaviest taxpayers
of the city, and of many of those influen-
tial in the business, social and intellectual
life of New Haven. And, long as it is, it
is not nearly as long as it would have been
had it been thought best to continue circu-
lating the petition for signatures. We
believe that twice as many signatures could
easily have been obtained. But there are
enough, and they are representative
enough, to show the public opinion of the
performances of the Big Four.
In the face of such "a demonstration as
this it is idle for the Big Four to pretend
that the public doesn't care about what
has been done. 1t is also worse than idle
for it to laugh and jeer at the signers and
to threaten those whose public spirit and
desire for good government lead them to
oppose it. No Big Four, or Big Forty,
can safely defy the people of a city like
New Haven when once they are aroused.
AS the matter now stands, the Big Four
has done things which the citizens see are
hostile to good government. 1t has defied
public opinion both in doing these things
and in its attitude after doing them. 1t has
been called to account, and if it is not
properly rebuked in the board of aldermen
it must be dealt with at the polls.

JUDGE TOWNSEND.

It appears to be generally understood
that Professor William K. Townsend, of
this city, is to be appointed to fill the
vacancy made by the promotion of Judge
Shipman to seat in the United States
circuit court of appeals. The fitness of
Professor Townsend for this place will be
recognized by the legal fraternity of Con-
necticut, where he is best known, and also
by the members of the bar throughout
New England and New York with whom
he has come in contact in the practice of
his profession. Professor Townsend has
the judicial mind to a notable degree He
has always been a hard student, and has
an exceptional acquaintance with the
theory as we'll as the practice of law. His
practice has been extensive and in many
fields. He has been very successful as an
instructor in the Yale Law school and as a
writer on legal topics. He is popular with
lawyers and laymen, and his success is
especially gratifying to the people of New
Haven, where he has lived, and whose
interests he has faithfully served, both as
a public officer and a private citizen.

The Old Flag.

To the Editor OF the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Being busily engaged on Thursday of
last week in contributing my share towards
the further enrichment of this grand and
glorious ocean bound republic, did not
have the opportunity to stand by the
pump and admire the stars and stripes
gaily waving from the top of the "liberty
pole " I say this because 1 never object
to seeing the old flag wave-whether it be
on March II or April 1, In fact, always
feel happy to see it unfurled and flung to
the breeze. think the stars and stripes
beautiful emblem, AN insignia of noble deeds
done and sublime objects accomplished.
When it is swung from the very top of
the pole think of Washington and the
men who gave us a free government; of
the victories of the past, both in peace and
war; of Yorktown, New Orleans and
Appomatox; of steamboat invention, the
telegraph, telephone, phonograph and the
mighty implements of modern war; of the
wilderness cleared and the construction of
millions of miles of railroads; of the cities
that dot this continent, that have sprung
up and are still springing up like plants
in the spring; of the electric light and the
grand possibilities of the future. I tell

1t is funny to get drunk and make dis

ence in the morning. The City court
handled Increases of the students before it
yesterday firmly and judiciously. Such a
lesson will be great encouragement to
antics which have been altogether too fre-
quent and insolent.
Student fun doesn't appear to be appre-

it is in New Haven. Two students of Suhl

Britannia rules the wave, but the Inde-
pendance Beige has published another
article by the English naval officer who
writes under the name of "Nauticus," in
which the British feet is blown to frag
ments. According to this nautical writer,
the guns of the war ships are worthless;
the machinery that works them is delicate
and defective; the engines are poor; the
boilers are bad; the torpedo boats are un-
seaworthy, and many of the great ships
are dangerous death traps. The cause of
it all is in the Incompetence of the Ad-
miralty. The fleet is run in the interest
of the Admiralty Offices. He calls Sir

The New Orleans Picayune shows the
| extent of the present depression in the
cotton market. On Monday of last week
middling cotton sold in New Orleans for
81 cents a pound, which is the lowest price
touched since 1S49. The same grade of
cotton sold year ago for s 11-16 cents,
and the year before last at 10 1916 cents.
Taking the average prices realized by the
cotton planters during the present season
compared with those received last year,
| the Picayune calculates that the loss to the
cotton planters on the present crop has
been at least $40 per bale, while compared
| with year before last the loss has been not
far from $50 per bale. Even should the
present crop prove as large as 5000, 900
bales, the total loss to the planters, com.
pared with last year, will not fall far short
of $50, 900, 900. a. --.-.. s.
