ANECDoTE OF LINCOLN

At one period during the rebellion there were no less than seventy-four major generals and 276 brigadiers on the rolls, which was far more than there was any use for. President Lincoln recognized this mistake before anybody else, but he consoled himself by joking about it. It Is recalled that on one occasion, when one of these superfuous generals was captured by the enemy, with number of men and horses, somebody undertook to condole with the President on the subject, re- marking that the loss of the captured generals service was & great mis- fortune to the government. "Pooh!'' replied Lincoln, tits the horse I'm thinking about. I can make another brigadier-general in two minutes, but horses are scarce and cost $200 apiece D Kansas City Journal.

 Charles M. Thomas asked that all look for harmony with due considera- tion of each others feelings.
 Colonel N. G. Osborn of the Register said that he had a great many weak nesses, but he prided himself in his candor, He had never asked anything of democracy but to work in it's ranks. He said he did disagree In '96 and does disagree yet in some respects on party matters. He was sorry, but 1t was ow- ing to his sense of right and justice. There are," he said, tissues of the greatest importance in this state which the democratic party has no right to longer neglect" Among these were un- equal, unfair and dishonorable repre- sentation. There must be reform in the system of taxation that the money which properly belongs to the county shall come to the couEty and not to the state treasurer. These issues relat- ed also to the well being of men. Ut is,'' he said, ''the duty of the citizens of the state to get together and fight for the advancement of the party and the state.
 Judge Blydenburgh said that he peo- pie will be glad to know that we are all marching under our democratic flag There is,' he said, mo trouble in get ting forward and fighting out the state campaign to success, but the majority must rule.".

Fowler 1t was voted to refer the matter of the county or ganization to a committee of five to be composed of one man from each sena- torial district in the county and Chair man Andrews. This committee is to be appointed by Mir. Andrews and is to consult and report at meeting to be called by MT. Andrews.
 A social session followed, where liquid refreshments and sandwiches were served.
 The following resolution offered by Councilman Walter J. Walsh was re- ferred to the above named committee without being read:
 Whereas, The prosperity of the re- puUllCdI party to lilS WOi h- ing classes upon the election of William Mckinley to the presidency of the United States has not materialized and whereas the democratic party has al ways been friend of the laborer and the foe of the grinding monopoly,
 Be it resolved, that we of New Ha- ven, in meeting assembled, emphatical- ly pledge ourselves to the continued support of organized labor in all its | legitimate efforts to elevate the toiIer to a position of dignity and indepen- i dence.
 Resolved, That we shall do all in our power to have a plank to the effect of l the foregoing resolution incorporated in | the platform of principles to be adopted | by the democratic party of the state of Connecticut at it's next state conven- l tion."

MISCHIEF MADE BY A MusKRAT

MISCHIEF MADE BY A MusKRAT.
 A little muskrat caused more trouble in Buffalo the other night than is ever known to have been caused by one of the animals This particular muskrat succeeded in cutting off the electric light supply of nearly the entire city, and it was an hour before the cause of the trouble was located and removed With the exception of an isolated district here and there the entire town was wrapped in a total darkness. Main-st. was one long avenue of gloom, broken only by lights in windows by private plants. Everything had been running smoothly at the power station of the Buffalo general electric company when the startling discovery was made that the water in the boilers and condensers was rapidly going down. An examina ton of the values that lets the water in through the big feed-pipe that runs out into Buffalo river was Made, but the valve was open as 1t should be. The valves on the boilers and condensers were examined, and they were found to be all right, too. The water in the boil- CTS dropped lower and lower, until, finally, in order to avoid an explosion, it was found necessary to bank the fires and shut off the draughts. This done, the dynamos no longer supplied current for the lamps, and the lights went out The trouble man was called to the station. He quickly located the trouble In the feed pipe. It was cut, and after some fishing around he dragged a muskrat out of the pipe and dropped 1t on the fioor.-Western Electrician.
