As for the Presidential election, that is like
ly to be conducted with less acrimony than
usual. 1t seems highly probable that the con-
test will centre upon one or two issues of an
economic character; so that the bitterness of
sectionalism and personalities seems likely to
be kept in the background When we remem-
Der, too, that we have a larger population each
year to be fed, clothed, housed and warmed,
we shall probably conclude that, after all,
there is no good reason for anticipating any
actual curtailment of consumption or produc-
ton as a result of the elections. Next, con-
corning smaller crops, in view of last year s
overproduction, this will in some respects be
an advantage instead of drawback. There
will certainly be wheat and cotton enough left
over to more than compensate for this year s
smaller yield. Moreover, Europe's necessities
will be smaller this year than last and if the
smaller crops of this year result in better prices
to the farmer, they will prove a benefit in dis
guise The labor strikes, l. must be conceded,
are serious question, the most serious of any
that are to be confronted Immediately. Law
and order are however being successfully pre-
served; and, unfortunately for labor, its cause
has lost greatly in public sympathy through
recent lawless developments in Pennsylvania
and Idaho. The fact that there is only moder-
ate public buying at the moment is of little
significance. Upward movements are invari-
ably started by speculative leaders or combin-
ed movements of some sort. The public enter
as BUYERS afterwards and may sustain or pro-
long rising market, but never inaugurate it

MEETING OF DIRECTORS.

The Annual Meeting of the New Ha-
 ven and West Haven Horse Rall-
 road Company Held Yesterday
 Officers EIected-Electric Cars to be Put On.
 The annual meeting and election of off cers of the New Haven and West Haven Horse Railroad company was held yester- day. The following officers were elected: President, Israel A. Kelsey; secretary and treasurer, Samuel A. Stevens; superintend- snt, w. W. Ward; directors, A. 0. Pond, E. P. Shaw, James Graham, Israel A. Kel- sey, w. w. Ward, Charles E. Graham. Messrs. Bond and Shaw are Boston men and new to the company here. They are connected with syndicate which re- gently purchased a controlling interest in the road. The company is we'll satisfied with the financial report, the increase in business being a decided one over last year. It has spared no pains to accom- modate it's increased patronage, and has spent thousands of dollars in putting down l a double track the whole length of the 1 road.
 As soon as permit is obtained the con- pany intends to put electricity on as mo- tive power. The power will be applied to to the cars from wire overhead, this ] being considered better than either the | storage battery, which had such a signal l failure in it's trial here last year, or the two-wire system. When this system is in operation, cars will leave the corner of Church and Chapel streets every five min ] utes and make the trip to Savin Rock in fifteen minutes.

Awards for Collecting G Garbage-Large
 Death Rate During This Month.
 The Board of Health met last evening and received the report of Health Officer Wright. So far this month there have been reported IA cases of scarlet fever, il of diphtheria, and of typhoid fever. There have been between 40 and 150 deaths this month. This is high rate, ana the deaths are, in the main, due to pneumonia and bronchitis.
 Awards were made for collecting gar bage to the same contractors who did the work last year. Lawrence and Farnam were the only bidders for the western dis trict, or the city proper. The sum paid for this work last year was 30, 100, which this year will be increased to $5, 200. William Brennan will collect the garbage for tho eastern, district, which includes the southern part of the city and Fair Haven, but for $100 legs than he received last year, which was $1 ,75O Consequently the total cost for collecting garbage this year will be the same as it was last year. There were three other bidders for the eastern district-Pat- rick Mortell, Patrick Galligan and Andrew Halloran. The bids of these were nearly the same as that of MT. Brennan. The contracts for collecting the garbage run from February 1, 1899, to February 1, 1898.

With the Elite and Fashion of New
 Haven-Dr. Damon and His Mag.
 netic Cures the Attraction.
 It was gala day with the ladies yester- day afternoon at the above hall, where hundreds gathered to witness what seems miraculous in the way of cures made by the application of vital magnetism. Over one year ago Dr. Damon gave 8 course of lectures and clinics which were attended by over 26,000 people, yet this second course is just as popular and, if anything, more so, as it is noticed that many of our most refined and wealthy ladies are attend l ing now that did not last year. In speak l ing with lady who was present yesterday l she said: ''I have attended every clinic so | far, and out of all the dreadful cases which have been treated upon the stage in full view of everyone, not a single failure to relieve has been made" The doctor does not claim to cure everybody or every thing, but he tells those who have been helped if they feel they need another treat ment to come again and receive it, as it is free to all. Surely this man is demon strating to the world that there is 8 better way to find relief from suffering than dos ing your stomachs with poisoned drugs and minerals. These free clinics will be given every Tuesday and Friday at 2.30, but those wishing private consultation will find Dr. Damon and assistants at 92s Chapel street, where they would be pleased to see anyone interested in the now method

Entertainments.
q HYPERION THEATKR.

The second lecture of Stoddard's course B will be delivered at the Hyperion to- night. The success of Monday evenings lecture is the best attestation of it's merit. The great increase in the popularity of these lectures, which has warranted the delivering of two courses exactly alike, shows that the people appreciate anything really good and instructive.
 Friday and Saturday evenings Andran's "Uncle Celestine" will be the attraction. It is rather 8 comedy with music than a comic opera, partaking of the character istics of both. It is approaching it's 350th performance at Paris and had phenome- nal run in London. MT. Rudolph Aron- sons Casino company will present it.
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 Hart's Boston Novelty company contin- ues to play to large houses at this theater. It is first class variety show. This after noon's and evenings performance will close their engagement here.
 Charles Mccarthy, with an excellent company of artists. will appear the last three nights and Saturday matinee of this week. Four thoroughbred white horses with fire engine will be introduced. The horses will make street parade Thursday and will doubtless be welcomed by all lovers of horsefesh.

The play has a serious plot, but ia crowded with with witty lines, funny scenes and uproarious situations.
