Republican success at the polls has
already given signs of restored conf

no farther adverse legislation may be

 Ia the first place, 1t is reasonable to as. sume that all the lower races of animals are created ''for the rational use and bsne- fit of msDr There gre, no doubt, still whole species of animals which have never been seen or used by man at all which have lived their who!e life, enjoyed snd suffered, and not only died. but died ont ss a species. in depths of the sea far be- yond the reach of mans senses, or any i'm strument by which, st the stage of mAn's being, he could have supplemented the limitations of his senses. Is it reasonable to assume that such species ss this could possibly have been created "for the ra- tlonal use and bsnsat of mani" The ss- sumption appears to us intrinsically Ab- surd. That which wss made exclusively or even chiefly "for the rational use and benefit of man" must have been brought within the sphere of mans use and bene- ft, and made snbservient to 1t. We do not believe that the divine object In crea- ting rscss whose whole career has been passed at c depth of some two or three miles under the surface of the sea, can possibly be sscribed to his intention of PEOfAAlu4 loA A1aa NaHhcs III lIC ACxk place, admitting what we should admit, that some of the works of nature may have been intended ''the rational use and bsnefit of man." though they never served that purpose till long after their whole life had been lived, and had besn lived before man had even appeared on the earth-for example, the forests to whose submsrgence in the soil we owe our beds of coal-there Is no vestigs of reason for supposing that this was the only end of their creation. ca the contrary. 1t seems most unreasopa- bIe to assume that there was no separate and distinct creative purpose in the life of that whose decay i.self was intended for further use-intended to promote othsr ultimate objects.

IsIT A MkGALoMANIACs

The Masters of Arts who git In fsuoied grandeur on imaginary judgment seats in the Register office and hurl tberefrom leaded and leaden edicts made an un- u.uslly sweeping decree last evening. They announced that the directors of the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad com psny are no good, and extra judicIally added that the road would probably never have directors who would bs any good. They further decreed that the JOURNAL AND COURIER is lepidopterously contem- poraneous and that 1t is painfully silly.
 Of course these gentle and genial judg- ments will seem to most of the Registers readers like fitting and perfectly natural incidents of that papers daily burlssque performance. But to us they have @ more serious meaning. We have carefully watched the Registers course for some time, and VIC have reached the conclusion that 1t has at last become megalomsnisc. It has the delusion of power. It takes It. self seriously. It has so long plsysd the part of judge and jury that 1t really be- lieves it is what it pretends to be. It is that belief that causes it to do ths things it does, and makes Its readers laugh at what they think is rich comedy. The situation would be a pain fully silly one if it were only what it seems to be, but the reality Is painfully tragic. Some years ago in . certain New York ths- atre could be nightly seen a man with painted face and trioksy clothes playing a part full of provocation to laughter. He made his exits and bis entrances properly, and he went through his work while on the stage with habitual sucosss, his real condi- tioE undetected by the audiences, who howled with delight at his antics. Finally 1t leaked out that the wretched comedian had been for some time 8 mental wreck, and that his acting had been largely unintelligent and automatic. Then those who had seen the old fsvorite in his deoadence and roared with laughter at the tragedy that they had mistaken foI comedy vera filled with sadness and pity. If we are right in our idea of the Registers condition its megalomsnia will soon be- come so plain to all that those who have enjoyed its apparently comical mani festations will be made melancholy by theil perception of the truth. We do not mean to laugh at the Register any more. and then we shall not have it to repent oi when the sgd reality can no longer be con eao1ed

SOME IrrEnEsTrNG FACTS.

h
 Itie, we suppose, deeply rooted notion that graduates of West Point get the best appointments in the army and that those who enter the service as civilians don't stand much show of advancement. The facts, as set forth by Lieutenant Hsw- thorne, of the Fourth artillery, will sur prise those who haven't known them. After calling attention to the fact that four of the ssven major generals of to-day sprane from civil life, and that General N. A. Miles, who is e non graduate, will in e short time become commanding general Lieutenant Hawthorne points out that the aajutant generals department is made up of nine non graduates and eight graduates. The inspector general2 de partment is composed of six non-sraduatea and one graduate. Both of these depart msnts receive their members by choice from the captains of the line of the army and these figures do not seem to indicats that preference has been shown the gradu ates. The proportions in the other stsf
 
 cate-genersps department, 75 per cent non-graduates; quartermaster's depart ment, s1 per cent. non-grsduates; sub sistencs department, 35 per cent. non graduates; pay department, sS per cent non-graduates. The other staff depart ments, except the chaplsins, are not filled by selection, so they need not be con sidered. Of the nineteen holding rank sl general officers, ten are non-graduates. IT the regiments of cavalry, six of the ter solonels are non graduates. In the ar tillsry but one of the five colonels is non graduate; while in the infantry seventeen of the twenty five colonels are non gradu stes.
 This doesn't ssem to show favoritisn toward the West Pointers. Probably 1 has been discovered in the army ss else where that . man is not surely capable an' efficient because he has . diploma ssyinl that he is.

HOW TRR WIND Is RLOWING.

HOW THE WIND IS BLOWING.
 They say that straws show which way the wind is blowing, and when there l. wind enough to blow whole bundles of straws, it's direction can be easily sscer- tained. That was a vigorous wind that blew in liar ford day before yesterday and also in Stamford. There Is no trouble in judging Its direction. It Is dead against the Democratic party. Of course the elections were "local issues," but 1t is evident that there are a good many people in this part of the world who are as teetotally siok of anything labelled Demo cratic as they were formerly teetotally in love with anything go labelled. They welcome the first opportunity to express their feelings and they are very hearty about 1t. They voted for change at the last presidential election. They got it where the chicken got the axe. They now want to change back. They don't feel safe in party whose chief policy is poverty and whose inability to govern exactly matches It's opportunities.
