PUBLIC OPINION.

Business interests know no senti-
ment, recognize no claim upon
manhood, chivalry or generosity.
1t is as cold blooded as cutie fish.
This we fully learned in the last four
weeks. Therefore, in dealing with
it, human health and human life
should treat it in the same stony
hearted manner, when the interests
conflict. II was the question of the
business interests of New Orleans
against the health and lives of
Rayne citizens, that the guards had
to deal with, aud they promptly
took the side of Rayne.-Shreve-
port Progress, Dem.
The late Henry Grady used to
say that ''cotton is q fool" and so
it is. Prices are always low when
they ought to be high, and, in spite
of increased consumption all over
the world and the opening Of new
markets, cotton has been going
steadily down. When man sits
down to study the situation or rea-
son the whole thing out he will find
that cotton will do just the opposite
of what was expected.-Savannah
Press, Dem.
Henry Watterson, the Louisville
philosopher, has been viewing with
alarm again. He sees evidences
that the French revolution is to be
revived very soon on the American
stage, with Altgeld, Tillman, and
Henry George cast as Robespierre,
Danton, and Marat, respectively.
AS matter of fact, there was never
less danger than now that we are
near to a conflict with the forces of
Reorganization. The American
people are better fed, better housed,
better clothed, better educated, and
more contented tEan any other peo-
pie in the world; and if they should
conclude that any political or So
cial changes are necessary or prom
ising they will make them peace
ably through the ballot box. Mr..
Watterson should cheer up and
return for season to those mild
Swiss wines. - Chicago Tribune,
Rep.
For the first time since the war
the South, during the last presiden-
tial campaign, showed some dispo-
sition to divide on the questions
involved in national politics. In
time the departure thus made would
have gone on gathering strength,
finally developing into a healthful
opposition, one of the greatest
needs of the South to-day. But
Mr.. Mckinley by placing negroes
in positions of honor and trust has
taken out Of this movement all life
and hope.-Portsmouth (Va-) Star,
Dem.
a flesh and blood advertisement of
the New York Journal. With a
flare of trumpets the young lady
was trotted before New York au-
dience where hired speakers told of
the way the journal planned her
rescue from Spanish dungeon and
the heroic manner in which the
plans were executed, and now Miss
Cisneros is to be placed on exhibi-
ton in Washington and other cities,
and it is quite safe to say that the
Journal will have number of
agents on hand to work the crowd
for daily subscribers.-Daily States,

The editor of the Valley Of the

been compelled to suspend, the pub

section of the State, has no more
use for the local paper than the
plantation overseer has for Grip

strange, but it's a stubborn fact
nevertheless.

presidents of the four classes for a
mass meeting of the student body to

arrange meeting with the faculty,
however, and the matter was laid over
until 3 p. m. tomorrow.

eral held a meeting to-day, but final
arrangements will not be announced
until tomorrow morning. By that time
it will be known just what societies and
representatives will attend. A meeting
of the corporation will be held on Fri
day morning, and the faculty will meet
on Saturday morning.
The services, which are to be held on
Friday at noon, at Trinity church, will
be confined to the ritual of the Epis-
copal church. 1t is Mrs Walkers de-
sire that the services be free from mil
itary or other display, though many
organizations to which General Walker
belonged, will be represented among
the honorary pallbearers.
1t was definitely given out that the
body of President Walker would not lie
in state at the institute.

BAYARD TO HIS CRITICS
SATISFIED TO BE CENSURED FOR
DEVOYION no THE ca USE OF PEACE.

He Said That He Had Brought the Two
Peoples Nearer-"In That Reflection is
MY Reward; 1t is Mine, and Belongs to
Ne; Brought 1t Here and Shall 1t Garry
Away and Keep 1t Wherever Co."
London, JAN 6.--At the dinner of the
Article club, given at the Hotel Cecil
this evening, United States Ambassa-
dor Bayard, responding to the toast,
"The American People," referred Incl
dentally to Canada, in the growth of
which, he declared, there was nothing
that ought not to awaken the sympa
thy, pride and pleasure of the citizens
of the United States.
Although it might be that some SEEM
ed to stand between the hearts of the
British and American people, he was
assured he said that the sentiments of
the best men of England We're identical
with those Of the same class in the
United States, and he was rejoiced that
he was permitted to serve as ambassa-
dor of the United States to Great Brit
ain. He came from a friendly coun-
try to a friendly country, and would
have been false to his duty if he had
not spoken to it the voice of a friend,
by doing which, however, he had evok-
ed the displeasure of some persons.
For this, Mr.. Bayard said, he was sor-
ry in one sense, and not sorry in anoth-
er sense( laughter and cheers). If
darts fatal to his own country and that
of his hearers had been attracted to
himself he was grateful for the distinc-
ton, and if a man was to be censured
for fidelity to the cause Of amity of
nations between whom he was supposed
to act as friendly envoy, he was rath-
er to be congratulated than condoled
with. (Cheers.)
In concluding, Mr. Bayard said: "It
is in no poor weak spirit of defiance,
but rather in sedate, we'll considered
spirit of gratitude that I reflect that in
performing my international duty I
have done something to bring the
hearts and the hands of our people clos
er. Cloud cheers.) In that reflection is
my reward. 1t is mine, and belongs to
me. I brought it here and shall carry
away and keep 1t where I 60"
Mr.. Bayard's remarks were conclud-
ed amid loud and prolonged applause.

WINT LAYOUT GRANTED.
Dixwell Avenue Cars to Run Down Chapel
Street.

Dixwell Avenue Cars to Run Down Chapel
Street.
Alderman Hull and J. X Punderford,
engineer of the Fair Haven and West
Vile Street Railway company, were be-
fore the board of public works last eve
ming in behalf of layout of a track in
Broadway near the watering trough.
The layout is asked for so as to allow
the company to turn its cars off the
main line to the Dixwell avenue line,
which has recently been acquired by
the company. This, if granted, will en-
able the company to convey passengers
from the newly purchased line to State
and Chapel streets and to the depot
without transferring them.
The road officials stated that in three
days two conductors have used two
hundred transfers each. Last evening
thirty-seven employees of the Winches-
ter Repeating Arms company asked for
transfers to the main road While in the
morning nineteen asked for them. If
the layout is granted the company will
not run it's cars down Elm street, as
has been the rule under the old man
agement.
The matter was referred to the street
committee and Mayor Farnsworth with
power
Commissioner States moved that the
city engineer proceed at once to extend
Union avenue, as the court of common
council had appropriated $91, 900 for that
purpose The motion prevailed.
The board ordered Derby avenue to
be widened ten feet on the north side
from Norton street to the boulevard,
and ten feet on the south side from
that point to the river.

CLEVELAND AND M'KINLEY.
Letters written by Them Read at Albany
Anniversary Exercises.


Albany, N. Y, Jan. 6.-At the ami
versary exercises to-day Speaker
O'Grady acted as temporary chairman,
and the invocation was pronounced by
the Right Rev. Y. NJ. A. Burke, Catho-
lie bishop of Albany,
Mr.. O'Grady then presented Governor
Black, resigning the gavel to his
charge, as presiding officer. Letters of
regret were read from Ex-Governor
Morton, President Cleveland and Pres
ident-elect Mckinley.
In his letter President Cleveland
said
"The years spent in your city while
discharged official duties left on my
mind the clear conviction that no mis-
take was made when Albany was fixed
upon as the seat of government for the
great state of New York, to be always
thereafter associated with it's glory
and it's prestige. During my stay
| among the good people of Albany I
gathered in many delightful remem-
brances. You may be sure, therefore,
that though absent, l shall, on the day
of your celebration, remember with
qualification my participation in
the exercises of this particular cap
itol, and pleasurably recall the dis
charge of important and laborious
public duties, made more easy by the
great hospitality Of its people"
| Mr.. Mckinley in his letter said:
s,, 1att ton
and admiration for my own state, yet
| I, with the people of the entire nation,
| look with pride upon New York as the
great Empire state of the Union. 1t is
| indeed an empire in the immensity of
it's wealth and resources, its world
wide commerce, the grandeur of its
achievements, the broad cosmopolitan
! ism and yet intense patriotism OF its
citizens, it's enlightened and brilliant
public spirit, and in all those elements
that go to make up great, highly CIV
ilized, happy, hberty-loving and pros
porous people.
| Fortunate it is that the stranger
from across the seas, entering the
great republic at its eastern gate,
should be confronted by such evidences
of new world civilization. New York
can well be proud of the historic posi-
| ton she occupies in the constellation
of states To be the capital of such
state is a high and proud distinction.
Albany has the right to rejoice in the
centennial of her establishment as the
executive and legislative seat of gov
ernment of the great state of New
York. I congratulate both city and
people, and send the joyful greetings of
citizen of sister state which shares
| in your pride in the past, in your eX-
ultation in the present, and in your
hopes for the future"
Ex-Lieutenant Governor Thomas G.
A1vord of Syracuse delivered the open
ing address. The historical address
was made by Chauncey M. Depew. His
remarks were well received by an APP
preciative audience of over 5000 people,
who crowded the hall.
William McElroy read a commemora-
tive poem.
The Right Rev. William c. Doane,
| Episcopal bishop of Albany, brought
the exercises to close with the bene-
dic.ion.
The state ball at the armory was the
event this evening.

M,KrNLEY AND ALLISON CONFER.
The Former Has Left Cleveland and is
Now Mt His Canton Home.

Canton, O., Jan. 6.-Major Mckinley
left Cleveland this morning and reach
ed Canton a few moments before 10.
Senator Allison arrived from Pittsburg
at 1906 and General Felix Agnus of
Baltimore came on the same train.
Senator Allison was met at the station
by Major McKinley's private secretary,
who drove with him to the Mckinley
residence.
Major Mckinley and Senator Allison
were very cordial in their greetings.
Soon after reaching Major McKinley's
house Senator Allison and the presi-
dent-elect retired for a private talk
and remained closely engaged in con-
versation until luncheon was served.
Mr.. Allison left for Washington at 2
o'clock.
Senator Allison said, after the con-
ference, that he was not a member
of Major McKinley's cabinet, and it is
learned tonight that this determ nation
was reached some days ago, and that
Major Mckinley learned of it through
friends.
The president and Mr.. Allison
discussed cabinet possibilities from
Iowa and other states and talked over
the whole political situation. The i'm
preston prevails here that Senator
Sherman Is likely to be secretary of
state and Senator Allison, who seems
to have this opinion, spoke of him in
high terms.
General Felix Agnus of Baltimore
lunched with Major Mckinley and Sen
ator Allison He is strongly opposed to
the appointment of James A. Gary Of
Baltimore to the cabinet
Major Mckinley returned to Cieve-
land tonight and will remain there
until the first of next week

stoned some fright among the ladies in
the hall. An officer of the Foot Guard
stamped out the fire and the festivities
proceeded.
Although the police arrangements
were well managed, the sneak thieves
worked with some success through the
big crowds in attendance. Representa-

covered that his dress suit and case
were gone. The police have received
several complaints of articles having
been stolen belonging. to visitors.
