speeding the horse on the last of the
snow and wrote to his wife, who was
visiting in distant town, that his
prospects for race horse were rosy.
That night the lady, although not espe-
cially an admirer of horses, dreamed
that she was sitting III the stand watch
ing the finish of the race wherein her
husbands horse was to take part. Re
plying to the letter, she said that his
horse would win the race, the last heat
several lengths ahead Of a gray horse,
the only other one she saw in her dream,
and that the judge announced the time
2:2011. The letter caused good deal
of amusement in the family during the
months previous to the race, and finally
when the day came five horses started,
among them being dark gray. The
dream came true III every respect,
the race being won i'll three heats, and

bears upon the physical sciences, is

CONNECTICUpS SHARE.

Connecticut has done her full share
toward making the Reputation of Bry-
an and Bryanism emphatic and instruc-
tive. She has given Mckinley a plural
ity Of over $4,000. She has elected four
sound money congressman by bounc-
ing pluralities. In every way that she
could she has shown her honesty and
patriotism, and her detestation of free
silver and anarchy
In State matters Connecticut has
overwhelmed everything that was la
beled Democratic. Governor Cookies
majority is about $4,000. There is not
a Democratic senator elected. And 1t
now appears that there are only "a
Democrats in the house. Further re-
turns may show another Democrat or
two in the house, but there will not be
enough there to encourage each other.
1t is a famous victory. And the best
of it is that it is a victory of which all
good citizens can approve.

THE YICrORY.

Victory for the cause of good money
and good government was in the air
yesterday morning This morning it is
safely and comfortably perched on the
land of the free and the home of the
brave The news which will greet the
eyes of anxious readers this morning is
of this country have once more shown
their fitness to govern themselves and
selves when their peace and prosperity
are threatened Yesterdays march Of
pressive of all the marching that has
been done. The marchers meant bust
ness. They meant to uphold the nations
honor. They meant to declare to all
the people of the world that the people
of the United States are not dishonest.
They meant to declare to the wrong
headed and wicked disturbers of this
country that their schemes would not
find favor. And they meant to declare
their appreciation of the blessings of
free and decent government. They
made their declarations quietly and
with a full sense of the solemn respon-
sibility that was upon them. Perhaps
no other election in this country has
been fuller of the inspiration of patriot
| ism and duty than that of yesterday.
It's result is full of Joy for the present
and hope and promise for the future.

A SPECIAL and soLEMN DuTY.

The Republican party has a special
and solemn duty laid upon it by the
vote of yesterday The people have
put it into power because it offered
financial dishonesty and theories of
government whose trial would bring
trouble and disorder Having been
chosen by the people in an unusual
and deeply patriotic way to carry on
free government for the benefit of the
governed, the Republican party must
be true to it's mission-as true as it was
when it was called upon to keep the
Union unbroken. Those who are called
to do the work of administered ton must
do it in God-fearing and man-loving
spirit. The just complaints of the peo-
pie should receive attention, and so far
as the ground for them can be removed
1t should be. The affairs of the gov
eminent should be so administered that
all can see that honesty and justice are
the root ideas Of the government. If
this is done the people will feel that
their confidence has not been misplaced
and that they have not leaned upon a
broken reed. If it is not done God help
the country four years from now. The
Republican party has been called the
party Of brains and morality 1t will
need all it's brains and morality to deal
with the situation that presents itself.
But with right purpose it can enter
upon its sgreat work calmly and conf

4 MAN OF DESYINY.

Bryan is most truly Man of Des-
tiny, but his destiny is not exactly that
which his rabbits foot prognostieated
for him. His destiny is the lasting dis
approval and contempt of a large ma
jority of his fellow citizens, He started
into the campaign with some show of
reason and apparent regard for right,
He ended his wild flight with reckless
and incendiary appeals to "the masses"
to array themselves against the
classes" Most of his campaign was
a campaign of sentiment and the quail
ity of the sentiment was so poor that
the people, tolerant and good-natured
as they are, couldn't stand it. They
have no sympathy with sentiment that
tends to disorder and anarchy. Oh yes,
Bryan is Man of Destiny, but nobody
will envy him now that his destiny has
arrived

ty between the United States and AL
giers We're dictated to the Dey at the
point of the cannon by Decatur in 1916,
copy of the paper was sent home by
the Epervier, The brig passed the
straits Of Gibraltar on July 70, 1915, and
from that time all trace Of her was lost,
She sailed out upon the ocean and was
swallowed up by the sea that has
wrecked the hopes and ambitions of so
many.
In modern times the loss of naval
vessels at sea has been comparatively
limited, The United States navy has
been siugularly fortunate in this re-
spect during the past half century, but
this may be attributed as much to the
limited number of ships in commission
as to the skill or safeguard. The mod
ern navy is built upon such different
lines from the old class of war vessels
that 1t is difficult to compare the two
but 1t is safe to assume that the cruis-
ers of to-day could stand the elements
much better than their prototypes of
fifty years ago. The mysterious disap-
pearance of a member of the white
squadron would undoubtedly cause
more general sorrow and comment than
the loss of the Wasp, Insurgent or Sar-
atoga did in their days.
A naval vessel of our modern fleet
carries a much larger complement of
men, and her cost is several times as
great. The navy department probably
exercises more precaution than any
private company in surrounding the
war vessels with every safeguard
known to science, and it is because OF
this discipline that war vessels are so
seldom lost. The mysterious loss of
only six war vessels during a period of
one hundred years of active national
existence is a record that the navy de-
partment of any nation might well be
proud of, and when it is remembered
that some of the strange disappear
ances recorded were only ordinary mer-
chant vessels fitted up as war ships, the
cause for pride is increased.
Great Britain and France have each
q much longer list Of war ships that
have sailed upon the ocean to go down
before some heavy storm without leav-
ing any message behind. Great Britain
leads the list in this respect, which is
only natural considering the size of her
navy and France comes second, with
Spain following as a close third. On
the naval lists of each nation there Is
written over against the name Of the
unfortunate vessels these ominous

GREAT CAMPAIGNING.

1t is not detractlng from the credit
due many others for their share in
the great campaign in New Haven
which has ended so beautifully, to say
that in it James H. Macdonald, chair
man of the Republican town commit
tee, has again shown the tireless in
dustry, the skill, the versatility and
the resourcefulness which have made
him - conspicuous and victorious lead .
er In politics. Those who know with
what zeal, directness and ingenuity he
has worked during the last three
months know that too much can hardly
be said in praise of his efforts. He is a
real leader, full of snap, skill and cour-
age. He has been at the head of the
Republican town committee in the two
most successful Republican campaigns
that have ever been conducted here,
and very much of their success has
been due to his planning and efficiency.
He has had able helpers and nobody is
more ready than he to give them full
credit for their loyal helpfulness. Both
he and they have a right to put on their
yellow Jackets and peacock feath-
ers this morning.

Quite Another Storv.


To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
VIII you kindly give me space for
brief statement? I have just seen in
silver paper an accusation regarding
Mr.. Henry c. Rowe of your city, which
feel sure is made in malignant
spirit The accusation is that Mr..
Rowe has requested payment from
persons to whom he has loaned moneyy,
the terms he offered being either pres
ent payment or an agreement to pay
is as good money as he loaned. Now it
would seem that man had a right to
protect his property, and this right is
one which should receive universal re-
spect. Not content with censuring Mr..
Rowe for doing this, the upgracous
spirit goes on to say, or to insinuate,
that he is a pretended friend of wild
ows and orphans. / have never heard
that Mr.. Rowe made any such preten-
sfons, but | do know, and am glad to
have the opportunity of citing one case
of a friend Of my own, to whom Mr.
Rowe loaned 1925 when the family was
in danger of losing their household eff
feets during the last six months OF
business pressure. No interest has
been paid on this amount, and no Sc
curity given, as Mr.. Rowe refused the
latter, generously saying that he could
not take security under such circum-
stances.
I know also. that this is not an iso-
lated case, but only one Of Mr.. Rowe's
benefactions.
The editor Of this paper can give my
address to any curious enough to look
this matter up. VERITAS.
