WILLIAMS COMES BACK.


 Poio Magnates Decide That Waterbury Loses All Games in Which He Has Played-Must Return to New Haven
 Last Fridays Game Lost by New Haven for Playing Bone of the Paw tuckets
 The polo magnates of the Southern New England Polo league met in Mer- 1den yesterday, when many important points were discussed and settled. The following were present at the meeting President w. M. Harris and Secretary c. H. Hilton, and Messrs Henry Doerr of Waterbury, c. H. Hilton of New Eaven, H. H. Jennings of Hartford. c. F. Olin of New Britain, E. J. Heineman /of Wallingford and J. Chapman and A. R. Penney of Meriden.
 The first matter discussed was the action of the New Haven management for laying the famous rusher of the Pawtuckets, George D. Bone, jr., of this city. The case was decided against New Haven and the game was ordered nulled.
 The next matter of importance was the case of 'Dumpy" Williams, who skipped from the New Haven team and went to play with Waterbury. The league decided that Williams was un- der contract to play for the New Ha- ven team and in consequence Water bury was deprived of all the games it has won while Williams was a mem- Der of that team. ''Dumpy" was or dered to return and take his place on the New Haven team. This is a victo- ry for, Manager Hilton. Should Will Hams return to New Haven, as he must do or quit playing polo until released he will be warmly welcomed by the New Haven rooters, provided he puts up the game he is capable of. But ii he does not then New Haven can get along and keep up her winning gait without him.
 The new schedule will also be arrang- ed before the meeting adjourns.
 The managers passed a rule that spindles one quarter of an inch long shall be used. The spindles previously used have been an inch long.
 It was also voted to notify the ref erees and clubs to strictly enforce the playing rules.
 New Haven still has a comfortable lead in the race for the league pen nant.

q pleasant Remindrr of the Innninfh'
~ Republican Ideas In
General.

Mark Hanna patronizlng way OF
telling the people what he thinks
should be done for them Is truly anus
ing. lie favors an Indirect tax by means
Of tariff because when the people
do not know they are paying tax they
are better satisfied" This is an old
principle which has been the guiding
star OF monarchs and despots for many
centuries. but Mark seems TO have lust
made the discovery, and il COMFORTS
so well with his natural disposition TO
do mean things in an underhand way
that he gusihes over IL. We advise him,
however. not TO fool the American peo-
pie too much, for they have way Of
finding things out and then making il
warm for the "fooler." We have known
them on such occasions TO give the fool
killer employment for quite length Of
time, and circumstances might arise
that would make life burden to Mark.
The senator's latest information
vouchsafed TO waiting public is to the
effect that he "favors putting duties on
tea. coffee and other articles which we
cannot produce" This is pleasant re-
minder for those insane persons who
voted the republican ticket at the late
election "just as a compliment TO Presi-
dent McKinley's management of the
war" We are not only TO have an in
definite prolongation of the existing
war taxes, which are all the more ex-
asperating because they were unneces-
sary, but we must also pay a tax. with

Russell A. Alger, secretary Of war il
the cabinet of William Mckinley, has
given to the people Of the United States
an official history of the war Of '9s. II
has been edited carefully by Mr.. Ayers
chief, and aside from its historical mat
ter is plea for an enlarged standing
army, the necessity of which will not
be disputed IL the authority of the
United States is TO be maintained COM
pletely and satisfactorily in the An
titles and the Philippines. But that off,
cial communication which would meet
greatest welcome would be the resigna-
tion OF Russell A. Alger as secretary Of
war and its acceptance by the presi-
dent. who ought never have given Alger
opportunity TO inflict his incompetence
upon citizens Of the United States who
volunteered at the call of his chief 10
fight their battles. While Russell A. Al
ger remains secretary OF war how is IL
possible TO hope that other than the
most desperate Of the citizenry OF the
United States will enlist in its enlarged
army? They do not fear the perils OF
battle. but the perils OF Algerism arc
more than any man ought to be asked
by humane nation to encounter.-Chi-
