THR ELECTION.

The election is over and it is now in
order to study results aud note the
causes that led to the victory Of one
and the defeat Of the other political
element in the recent conflict.
Contrary to former experience, the
popUlists made large gains in the cities
and towns Of the state but lost ground
in the country districts Tt is not DIFF
heult TO explain this change, upon re-
Election in the case.
Recriminstions are not wise in the
summing up Of the results Of election
and studying causes Of defeat. It is
easy to sccount for and no one need to
marvel at the recent republican land
slide in this state. It was anticipated
long ago by thoughtful men in the
peoples party.
The best thing to do now is to 'gath-
ether mp the fragments that nothing
be lost" The recent election is not an
endorsement OF republican gold stand
ard ideas, or other theories of the
party on the tariff. It is not so much
the endorsement Of one party as the
rebuke Of the other party. Not only
should men learn wisdom by the things
they suffer, but parties also should
heed the warnings Of defeat.
Party success long continued leads
to party corruption. Men elected to
Office soon forget the rock whence
they were hewn and the pit whence
they we're digged," and, from being the
peoples servants, they assume to be
come the peoples lords. They need to
come down and they often do.

to address them he was received with re-
peated cheers and clapping of hands. He
spoke in part as follows:
Soldiers of the Grand Army of the Re-
public:
l venture to salute you as comrades,
because while you fought on one side and
I on the other, and your valor and loyalty
preserved the Union of the States, yet
we now live under one flag and l am sure
you will believe me when say that If
any attack were made on it, my people
would be as ready to rush to it's defense
as your people.
The results Of the war will live, as
through 1t, civilization took q mighty
stride. But the strife is over. The Incl
dents OF battle have gone into history, the
| splendid ability of the officers, the bravery
and endurance of tho private soldier on
either side. are the common heritage of
the American people. Bravery and mag
naninnity are twin attributes of the true
soldier.
l know you do not expect me in this
presence, to come with bowed head and
bended body. whispering with bated
breath an apology for tho humble part I
pose of the southern people, the love of
their cause, and the great sacrifice they
made in the defense of 1t are the hostages
which guarantee the good faith of that

association, was held at the Parker house.
this evening. The retiring president,
John G. Ryder, 80, presided, and the
special guests present were the presidents
of the college, Nathaniel Butler, ID. d..

gusta; Rev. DR.. A. nj. jackson, 81. of
G oncord, Mass, Joshua III. Millet '67 OF
Boston, and Rev. j. l.. Seward of ALL
st on.
After the vigorous singing of college
songs, President Ryder welcomed the
members and guests and then present.
ed MIR. Butler, who spoke of the needs and
the prospective improvements of Colby,
the sum Of e15,0 900, which had been given
by 226 of the alumni for new building
and of the other contributions, amount
ing in all to $4,000. He spoke particu-
larly of the aid having been given by
Wateryille where the college is located.
If the college course was shortened to
three years we should have more students
and there would be more college gradu-
ates in the professional schools. He
favored the name of Colby college rather
than Colby university.
College life is marked by four co-ordi-
nate interests. We believe in college ath-
Ietics, for they have proved to be the best
solution of the college order. They are
the indispensihility of better scholarship
and good morals. College men and col
lege women will save the country from
disaster.
Hon. Leslie G. Cornish spoke on Colby
spirit. He said that the raising of money
was manifestation Of loyal spirit. He
said DR.. Butler had been SO successful in
raising money that he ought to be given
leave of absence to 60 to the klondike
for the college. His spsech was the hit
of the evening.
DIR. Amos NJ jackson, '6l, spoke on
college life; Joshua II. Millet, '67. on
college prosperity and Rev. ]. l.. Seward
on college greetings.
The following officers were elected:

dents, E.. G. Robinson, 'S3; G. T. Hall,

TO PROTECT NEW YORK.
Plan to Make River Entrance
InVuInerable.
LINE OF TORPEDOES PROJECTED
FROM WILLETTS POINT.

VIII Extend to Fort Schuyler and Make 1t
Imp ossible for Hostile Fleet to Enter
Harbor without Being Blown Up.
q New York, February 25.-The Brook
lyn Eagle today printed the following:
At Willets point precaution Is being
taken to make the East river entrance
to New York invulnerable. A skirmish
line of torpedoes is projected from the
Willets point shore, across the channel to
Fort Schuyler. The torredoes will be
nchored so close together that 1t may be
s.npossible for q hostile vessel to Cross tho
line without being blown up. The tor
pedoes will be connected with electric
wires and to make doubly sure that their
plans cannot be frustrated, the engineers
have arranged to have batteries located
at each end OF the line so that in case
an apparatus should be used by the enc
my to sever the connecting wires and
break the circuit, the torpedoes could
still be exploded from the other end Of
the line. The channel is already protected
from the Willets point ashore to the CEN
tire of the channel by two groups of sub
marine mines. Each group Of mines con-
sists of % torpedoes, A together contain
ing 100 pounds of giant powder.
The transport boat Bushnell, is now at
the :, foot and will be used for putting
the skirmish line of torpedoes in position.
The armament of the fort consists of two
ten-inch and one seven.inch disappear
ing gun.
There are also and 12-inch mortarsi
which will throw shells any distance
up to five miles.
Tuesday 20 enlisted artillery men from
Fort Schuyler under command of Lieut..
Lang, came to the fort to clean up and
repair the two big disappearing guns.
The battalion at Willets point numbers
40 men.
At Fort Schuyler, directly opposite Will
let's point, considerable engineering work
has been done. A torpedo magazine and
experimenting gallery was recently
completed. 1t is considered the strongest
magazine on any United States fortifi-
cation.

MANNING FAR OFF HER BEAT.
Boston's Revenue Cutter Was Sailing for
Philadelphia When last Heard From.

Boston, February 25.-It is believed
that the new revenue cutter, Manning,
Captain Munger, has been selected for
some special mission in connection with
the present Cuban difficulties.
The cutter was constructed for outside
patrol duty from the Maine coast to Nan
tuoket South Shoal lightship, but yester-
day she towed into Fire island a sub
merged wreck which she picked up at sea.
The most significant feature in connec-
tion with the possibility Of the Manning
being sent south Is the fact that Assistant
Engineer Fl. Kotzschmar, Jr. two weeks
ago, was granted months leave of alb
sence on account of sickness, but yester-
day he was recalled and ordered to join
his vessel Immediately. He came to Bos-
ton with that intention, but the Manning
is not here.
He understands that she left New York
yesterday for Philadelphia, but this is not
positively known.
The Manning is considered the finest
cutter at present in the revenue marine
service, and is about equal in size and
war power to gunboats Of the Yorktown
class.

Mr.. George W. Stinson, Col. Weissin-
gers representative, gave the following
as the significance of the flag:
This is known as the Peace Flag, de.
stoned to be a universal emblem of peace.
It is an inspiration and a hope for peacs
between nations, peace between the Sec
tions of every country, end peace between
individuals. Down to the time of the
meeting of the thirty-frst convention OF
the Universal Peace Union, which was
held in Mystic, CT, in August, 1877, no
distinct flag or banner had been adopted,
although the subject had been under con-
sideratlon for some time, but at that
session definite action was taken and re-
sulted in the adoption of the design you
see here. The fact was recognized in the
beginning that flag for this purpose
must be distinct In character and differ
ent in design from all others, that Its ar
rangement, color, and devices must be
such that it would provoke no hostility
on the part of any nation or in any nation
antagonize any party OF sect whether re-
lioious or political. 1t was decided that
it should be of three colors, or a tr1-
color, the tr1 color being like the triangle,
emblematio of loyalty, unity and 1rater-
nity. Three for all time has stood in re-
lirion for divine love, absolute wisdom
and universal harmony. 1t has stood IN
nature for earth, air and water. Every
society In the historic past or the active
present takes as it's guiding star trinity
of principles. You see this illustrated in
your own order You have three funda-
mental reasons for your existence; friend-
ship charity and loyalty, so you will
readily understand why the appropriate
com binations should be a tri-color. So
yellow is selected. Yellow represents
active love, energy and creative fraternal
force, attributes of the sunlight, right
ness and plenty. Purple, the color of

sacrifice and perseverance, feminine or
maternal attributes. White emblematic
of innocence and purity.
These emblematic colors are so placed
AS to illus rate the development of human
ity. The child-spirit first appears sns-
tained by the mother-spirit, for the inno-
cent must learn hrough. patient teaching
and that self-sacrificing spirit which
mediates between the weak and the
strong.
Tender endurance (purple) creates the
hearth and the family ideals.
The paternal element (yellow) with its
power and will holds humanity to the
staff of blue, which indicates promise and
fidelity of purpose.
The purple or maternal color is the one
deemed worthy to bear the emblems of
aspirations, the crest of universal peace
