a few others Of that stamp, we would like TO
know how they are feeling, When men,
thinking their party in desperate strait,
try to make cheap capital By trying to start
a stampede against it, they must feel cheap

dering in the ditch, after the triumphant
procession has gone by.-Troy Chief.
My DEAR MILLER:-I have no 0bjec.

ing, OF course, a measure Of diasppoint.
ment and Chsgrin always follows defeat
where victory may have reasonably been
expected. But where conviction leads to
the cause Of right and justice, tenn
porsry defeat seldom does, and never
should, lead a man to regret his course.
A man feels ''chesp AMI Shiny" in mat
ters touching the election franchise and
partisan afa istion only when his ballot
represents prejudice instead Of prin-
ciple, party instead Of patriotism, and re-
venge instead Of reason.
Political parties are not founded upon
good fellowship, nor upon the superior
purity Of one set OF men over another,
nor can they exist long upon the an
tiquity Of names and sham pretsnses
Tney must rely upon living vital issues
that are OF interest to the public.
A measure, once a wise policy, may,
by change of conditions, become unwise
and pernicious in general application.
The great principles OF the republican
party, national sovereignty, maintenance
of the union, destruction Of ohsttsl slav.
cry, free ballot and payment Of all OBJ
legations growing out Of the prosecution
Of the war for the Union, have all become
accepted, even though some, like the
prohibitorY law, may not be lived up to.
These achievements We now point to
with pride" but they constitute no part
OF the living questions of the present.
Two messures-McKinley tariffs and the
gold stsndsrd-neither of which in
wolves principle, but both OF which are
mere questions Of policy, are all that re-
mains of republican creed, these having
been injected by special interests to be
subssrvsd under the spscious plea Of
protection to labor" and "honest
money"
The manufacturing and money loaning
sections as buyers Of agricultural
stsples have through the plea Of "hon-
est money" fastened the single gold
standard Of values upon this country,
enabling them thereby to secure the raw
products of agriculture at the lowest
range Of prices in a world market by q
world standard. These same interests
paid for and framed bill, to shut out
world competition, giving them the ex-
elusive privilege Of the American mar
ket for the sale Of their wares. Thus
the manufacturer makes his purchases
Of raw material and labor in q market
where the world competes, while selling
these same classes his goods in market
where tariffs shut out the world and
trusts determine prices. Tariffs having
ceased to protect labor Of shops or farm,
protects nothing but trusts and prodts
Of manufacturer. With these two instru-
ments, gold standard and Mckinley
tariffs, the farmer is selling short and
buying long resulting in a fierce strug-
gle by the farmers for existence, wkile

Narrow Escape From Death of Two Men at the New Haven Yacht Club-A Defective Stove the Cause. The New Haven Yacht clubhouse was yesterday moroing the scene of nearly fatal case of asphy yxlation. George Kellor,
 the janitor, and his assistant, Walter R. Davis, were the victims. About half past eight o'clock yesterday morning Kello,
 was awakened by q choking sensation. He
 immediately crawled out of bed and to the
 door, which he succeeded in opening, and by this means saved his own life and that of his assistant.
 Both men sleep ct the club house. Sat urday night they retired as usual, after putting fresh coal on the fire In the stove. Yesterday morning after Ksllor had suc- cseded in opening the door be fell sense-
 less on the platform. As soon e he re- gained consciousness he went back into
 the room and tried to arouse D4vis, but
 the latter was completely stupeded, and
 Kellor had to carry him from the bed to
 the platform outside the door, where he slowly revived.
 Dr. Fitch was hastily summoned and applied restorstives, and last evening both men had completely recovered, and were none the worse for their experience with the deadly coal gas, although Keller re- mained in bed throughout the entire day and night.
 Saturday night befors retiring the men put fresh coal on the fire, and at once tumblsd into bed. There was slit in the stove pipe on one side betweed two joints, which do not fit into each other properly, and 1t was through this slit that the gas escaped into the room. The pipe, 1t fs said, is almost completely choked up, and this fact caused all the gas to disseminate ttse4 around tho room.

 EaEuauto Husia

Yale Boys Make Noise and Melody at
 Carnegie Music Hall.
 Melody and ordinary college noise were heard at the Carnegie Music hall last night. The boys from Yale made 10th, tine Glee and Banjo club attending to the melody and the students, who are always on hand to ''root, ]" looked out for the noise. Other people, too, helped to make the noise. The friends and admirers of Yale were there and chsered and applauded the good work of the young men of the Glee and Banjo club. Society was we'll represented at the concert. every box and every seat being oc- cupied by well known people. It was the annual concert of the Glee and Banjo club, and 1t was like all those given in preceding years-good from beginning to end. When an excellent program had been carried out everyone in the house regretted that the end had come, and their sentiment was with the song which ende:
 Then sing to old Yale, to brave old Yale,
 Who stands in her pride alone;
 And stin flourish she like @ hale green tree,
 When thous snd years hath flown.
 The program consisted of three parts, each being made up of selections which appealed to an audience that knew how to appreciate college musio. The proceeds of the concert will go to the University crew, and if the success of the crew de- pends upon the support 1t got last night, there can be no donbt of its fortune in its annual race at New London. Some of the patronesses of the concert were Mrs. Robert Appleton, ~ Mrs. Henry D. Baocock, Mrs. Horace Barnard, Mrs. John Fl. Inman, Mrs Hen. ry E. Rowland, Mrs. Brayton Ives, Mrs. Morris K Jesup, Mrs. Charles Kel- logg, Mrs. Frederic Kernochan, Mrs. Bur- ton N. Harrison, Mrs. Francis Dslafeld, Mrs. William M.

 His penchant is for checker playing and yesterday afternoon several matches were arranged between him and Selectman Pohlman, Alderman Farrell and others. These matches will be played this week. Prior to his leaving the club room the genial steward of the club, George Pal mer, secured his signature to the club and it is safe to assume that this signature will be one of the highly prizsd souvenirs of the club.
