THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Continued from First Page.'l

| He said that the university had feel
ings of gratitude to- and dependence
upon the business men of New Haven
and spoke of the fine buildings given by
| business men of the city, including
WEIGH hall, Sheffield hall, Winchester
hall and Farnam hall. In conclusion he
said: 1T is of course difficult for me to
express what 1 propose to do-to con-
meet the interests of the university and
the city So far as Is in my power, the
best interests Of the business communi-
ty of New Haven will be considered the
best interests of the university, and I
hope that all differences will be settled
for the best interests of both"
At the close of Professor Tyler's talk,
on motion of John c.. Gallagher, secre-
tary of the chamber 1t was voted to ex-
tend vote of thanks to the speaker and
to order the address printed and dis

adopted protesting against the contin-
uance of the monopoly In the cable COM
munication with Cuba now enjoyed by
the International Oceanic Telegraph
company 1t was voted to send copy
of the resolution to the Connecticut del
egation in congress. The matter was
brought to the attention of the chamber
by Hon. ]. d. Dewel who pointed ont
that because Of the monopoly the COM
pany was enabled to charge exorbitant
rates. matter which affected many
New Haven business men. The chain

VETERANS AND THE PRESIDENT.
Distinguished Comrades from 10 States Call
on Maj Mckinley.

Last Monday distinguished delegation
of veterans from 10 States, all belonging
TO the Veterans Patriotic League, headed
by Gen. Daniel Il. Sickles, of New York,
called on the President by appointment
and congratulated him ON the result OF
the recent election, in which they took
prominent part. There were about 30
in the party, andIhey were received in
the library: Many of the veterans were
Democrats politically, but in his address
to the President Gen. Sickles said they
were patriots first, as they were in 1861.
Gen. Sickles said that this notable dele
CATION of veteransf had nothing but con-
CALCULATIONS. to offer the President and
nothing to ask fon He would suggest,
however, that in view of the fact that
during the campaign just closed the vet
Grams of the civil war had with great
unanimity ranged themselves on the side
of their old comrade, an acknowledge
ment in some public way of their services
rendered would be highly appreciated.
This, he thought, would be particularly
appropriate, as the old soldiers were rap
idly passing away and even those who
survived the next few years could hardly
be expected eyer again to join hands in
Just the same spirit and to the same ex-
tent that characterized their union during
the last campaign.
The President responded briefly, telling
the veterans HOW deeply ne appreciated
their efforts in his behalf. and that he
would gladly make the Acknowledgement
that had been suggested.
The party was constituted as follows:
Gen. Daniel Il. Sickles, New York; Col.
Ivan n. Walker, Indiana; Major William
Warner, Missouri: Thomas Ryan, Kan

The National tribune., 1900-11-29

In telling of the Inaugurals as they have
been enacted every four years since the
foundation of this Government, our pur-
pose has been to keep hold of the thread
that has been woven in many colors into
the social and political fabric of the Ma
tion, and do it in such manner that read
ers could see not only the reasons for
change of color and texture in the social
fabric, but in n measure keep pace with
the trend of issues, the life and work of
parties, the causes of their overthrow,
their names and what they signify, and
the result of measures when carried out on
the body polite, as it can be read in the
light of the after years.
In other words, weaving the story of
times and issues until it eliminates in the
great American feast day of 4 Presidential
Inaugural.
John Tyler qualified for President April
6, 1871. For the third time death had Civ
The National tribune., 1900-11-29

At present two factions have developed
one holding that the present ratio is
large enough, and that the number of
Representatives should be increased as
the population has; the other, that the ra-
ito should be increased to keep the num-
Der of Representatives near the present
figure, 357. This advocates making the
ratio 100000.
If this figure is chosen the increase
would be but three members. This would
make, however, a number of changes of
great Importance. The increases would be
Colorado. Florida, Illinois, Louisiana. Min
nesOta, New Jersey. New York, North Da-
kOta and West Virginia. one member each,
and Texas, two members. The losses
would be Indiana, Kansas Kentucky,
Maine, Nebraska, Ohio, South Carolina
and Virginia, one member each. This ap-
portiOnment would mean a total gain of
II members and a loss of eight, making a
net gain of three.
If the appOrtionment of even 100000 is
made the States of Kansas, Maine, Ne
braska and Virginia will lose one mem
Der each, while the following State dele
cations will be increased by one member
each in the House: Arkansas, Colorado,
Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, Massa-
chusetts Missouri, Mississippi, New Jer-
sey, North Dakota, Washington and West
Virginia, and the following State delega-
lions will be increased by two members:
Illh. dis, Minnesota, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Texas; a total increase of %, or a
net increase of 10 over the present mem
bership.
1t is pointed out in some quarters that
by increasing the ratio to 100000 the
Southern States, which might otherwise
gain member, would be held to their
present representation, together with some
of the Northern States. But the raising
of that question will Immediately bring
under consideration the existing unfair
representation in the Southern States,
where the negro voters have been dis
franchised in violation Of the Fourteenth
Amendment.
To retain the present ratio would be to
increase the membership OF the House to
429, an increase of ~ Representatives.
After all this would be far less than the
British House Of Commons, which has
go members, or about one for every co.
| 900 people.
The most alarming cry comes from Ad-
miral Crowninshield, Chief OF the Naviga-
| ton Bureau, Navy Department. He says
that the present personnel of the Navy
The National tribune., 1900-11-29

would form barely one-fourth of the total
establishment necessary to fight first
class European power. 1t barely sufiiced
for the Spanish war. and no longer can
be considered, the report says, as an eff
fcctive NUCLEUS about which larger
establishment could be formed in case of
war The Admiral regards this need of
the Navy for officers and men as most
urgent. He says that the Bureau can
point to many cases where the service is
being harmed by lack of officers. The
Naval Academy is suffering for want of
instructors, and the present high standard
of training cannot be maintained. Every
Bureau in the Department is short of of
ficcrs, and the services, the report pre-
diets, soon will fall behind in the strug-
gle, first for leaderships, and then for
equality, with the other services. The
disability of the sea going corps of officers
has greatly increased since the Spanish
war, and many of the best officers are be-
ing lost as result of the breaking down
from overwork. He takes Congress Sc
verely to task, wants it to repeal the law
prohibiting the employment of retired Of
ficerS, double the number of appointments
to Annapolis, increase the number of of
ficers and men, build naval barracks make
the age of admission to Annapolis from
Is to Is years. reduce the course to four
years. abandoning the sea-term, build two
new tlAihihb ~.
Capt. II. A. Cobaugh and his force of
Treasury Waterman have been provided
with the new Krag-Jorgensen rifles and
carbines. For % or 80 years the force
has had Springfield rifles and carbines.
These were turned into the Treasury and
the new rifles issued in their place. Capt.
Cobaugh will instruct the force in the use
of the new weapon.
1t is a perennial astonishment the money
there is in little things. For example, a
man has about 80 slot machines scattered
about Washington, in which you put in a
cent and get 4 stick of chewing gum. He
goes around once u week and collects from
these and re-fills them. He gets on an
average S1.J0 from each. He pays the
keeper of the shop or saloon in or before
which the machine stands 20 per cent, or
30 cents, and has the remaining S1.20 for
himself, of which nearly 81 must be clear
profit netting him something over $4,000
year, after paying the interest on his
investment, wear and-tear, etc.
DIR. Frank f. Wilson, who was elected
to Congress as Il Democrat, in one of
Brooklyn's strongest Republican Districts,
says that the Democratic party must be
recognized, and that with a candidate
like Hill or Olney it will sweep the coun-
try. He will not be surprised to see
Bryan running on n straight Populist
ticket in 1904.

CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS.

The veterans all over the country will
be greatly gratiied by the struggle for
the Superintendent of the Bureau of
Printing and Engraving ending in the re-
instatement of Capt. VIM. NJ. Meredith.
Capt. Meredith, who is one of the best
printers in the country, and unsurpassed
as a manager of printing establishments,
served in Gen. Harrisons regiment-the
10th Ind.-until disabled, and made a
high reputation for gallantry and soldier
ship. lie was n personal friend of Gen.
Harrison, who was wcll-aware of his high
abilities in his line of business, and Sc
lected him for the responsible position of
manager of the Bureau of Printing and
Engraving. His conduct in that position
fully justified the expectations entertained
of him, further EXCHANGED his reputation
But as soon as Cleveland came in Capt.
Meredith was marked for dismissal. Be
ing Harrison's friend made him partIcu-
larry obnoxious to the newcomers, and
Carlisle wanted the place for one of his
henchmen, Claude NJ. johnson, of Coving-
ton, Ky. Meredith was turned out, with
unnecessary harshness, and johnson in
stalled. Scandals and irregularities imme-
diately followed, but johnson remained,
and was retained after President McFiin-
ley came in, though he was actively OPP
posed by organized labor, by the g. A.
r., and many other elements, to whom he
had made himself obnoxious. Finally, last
Summer, peculiarly migrant offense
compelled his removal, but he was given
another billet. Recently the Dictatorship
was offered to Frank L. Sargent, the
Chief of the Brotherhood of Railroad En-
gineers, but declined by him. ExRepre-
sentative Brumm, of Pennsylvania, was a
strong candidate for the place, but want
ed it taken out from under civil service,
and measurably from the control of the
Secretary of the Treasury. The President
finally turned the matter over to Secretary
Gage, who reinstated Capt. Meredith, as
the easiest solution of the problem. No
appointment for a long time will give as
much satisfaction TO as many people as
this, for Capt. Meredith is not only the
most capable of all those mentioned for
the place, but he is very popular with all
who know him.
The Census gives 1862, 907 people in
the 10 States. In order to establish the
basis of representation for the next 10
years this figure must be divided by some
number fixed upon as that of the House
of Representatives The Constitution
provides that the number shall not ex-
coed one for every 10000 people, and
that every State must have at least one
Representative. The first apportionment
made the House consist of G5 members,
on the basis of l to 10000 people. The
changes since have been as follows:
