comply with the instructions of the mil itary authorities as regards their traffic arrangements; but 1t Is dlfficllt to con eeive that a railroad should have been so much as expected to engage in acts of direct hostility, and it is almost in- conceivable that it should have actual ly done so. If the British government can produce evidence in support of it's allegation that the Netherlands railroad took direct part in the hostilities against England it would be impossible to deny that this circumstance might furnish the British government with reasons such as it perhaps desires for docking the amount of compensation payable to the shareholders for their appropriation by the State, It has been suggested that the shareholders ought to look to their directors for re- dress if the latter have betrayed the trust reposed in them, but the share holders are not enthusiastic over their chances of recovery in that quarter.

DIFFER ENT.

Last Tuesday there was provocation
 In this region for a feeling that, after all, there is something higher and nobler for great university than vlc- tories in athletics As there wasn't any athletic victory for Yale on that day it was easy to see that it is better
 to be great In heart and mind than
 great in muscle. Things look a little
 different to-day and it Is now easy to see that when it Is the fashion for great
 universities to engage in athletic con- tests it is just as well for our unlver- sity to come out on top of the heap She did that yesterday at New London, and she has ended the year in great noise and glory, The past is more se- cure than it was, and the future looks brighter. The news of the victory at New London Is real news, and will be read by millions who haven't read about the mental and moral part of the Com mencement. Thus will our beloved uni versity be well advertised and be able to celebrate it's bi-centennial with good hope and a proud consciousness that she is right in it.

A MODEL FAREWELL SERMON

The departure of q pastor from church may be made an occasion chiefly for calling attention to the qualitie: | and achievements in his ministry. | | may be utilized, on the other hand, as a signal opportunity to arouse Chris | tian enthusiasm and point out definite lines of future progress. In the latter case the retiring pastor subordinates himself reduces to a minimum the catalogue of calls, funerals, additions to membership and exalts the divine mission of the church, which persists from age to age despite all changes in the personnel of its leaders. This form of farewell discourse was the one chos- en by Dr. Munger when, a few Sun days ago, he preached his last sermon as acting pastor of the United church in New Haven.
 If any minister putting off the har- ness might be permitted to indulge in retrospect, it would be Dr. Munger. To be sure, his reputation in this country and in England rests. to large extent, upon his fruitful labors in the field of authorship, but while he has been in fluencing thought through such volumes as The Freedom of Faith and the Life of Dr. Bushnell, no man has been more faithful than he to the pastoral func- ton. Not to go back of his New Ha- ven pastorate, his fifteen years ser- vice there have yielded into one strong, democratic, effective church elements which at the start represented two diff ferent organizations with their separ- ate traditions. As it has stood there on the beautiful green under the arch ing New Haven elms, United church has from year to year sought in specific ways to perform a ministry for the whole city. Far from relying on the in- herent strength of his pulpit work Dr. Munger has endeavored to organize the various departments of his church so that they would make definite contri- buttons to the practical service of the city and the world. The Sunday even- ing mems club is one of the indications of the conception of it's larger duty which Dr. Munger has sought con- stanty to instill. Under the auspices cf that notably successful organization, the best men in the country have spok- en their messages to crowded houses.
 The fact that the church has already been thus led out into a wide field of ministration gives pertinence to the in- functions with which this farewell ser mon abounds. Little emphasis is laid on advance. Dr Munger's people are reminded of the peculiar rela tion in which the United church stands to that city in that it occupies a site reserved from early days for it by public grant, This in pr. Munger's opinion. consti- tutes a special reason for being known as a church that opens it's doors to the whole city and offers it broad and common Christianity

A woNDERFrrT, ADVOCATE.

| I heard Rufus Choate great many times I heard nearly all the speeches
 given In Browns Life" and l heard
 him great many times at the bar
 both before juries and the full court He is the only advocate I ever heard who had the imperial power which would subdue an unwilling and hostile jury. His power over them seemed like the fascination of a bird by a snake.
 Choate's method was pure persuasion.
 He never appealed to base motives, nor
 tried to awaken coarse prejudices or
 stormy passions He indulged in no in-
 vective. His wit and sarcasm and
 ridicule amused the victim almost as
 much as it amused the bystander He
 had the suaviloCuentia which Cicero
 attributes to Cornelius. There was
 never a harsh note in his speech.
 He had a voice without any gruff
 or any shrill tones. It was like a sweet, yet powerful flute. He never strained it or seemed to exert it to it's fullest capacity. I do not know any other public speaker whose style re- sembled his in the least, Perhaphs Jeremy Taylor was his model. if he had any model. The phrassology with which he clothed some commonplace or mean thought or fact, when he was compelled to use commonplace argu- ments, or to tell some common story, kept his auditors ever alert and ex- pectant. An Irishman, who had killed his wife, threw away the ax with which Choate claimed the deed was done, when he heard somebody coming. This in Choate's language, was the sudden and frantic ejaculation of the ax." In- deed his speech was a perpetual sur prise Whether you liked him or dis liked him you gave him your ears, erect and intent He used manuscript a great deal, even in speaking to juries. When a trial was on, lasting days or weeks, he kept pen, ink and paper at hand in his bedroom, and would often get up in the middle of the night to write down thoughts that came to him as he lay in bed He was always care- ful to keep warm. It was said he pre- pared for great jury argument by taking off eight great coats and drink ing eight cups of green tea.-Senator Hoar in July Scribners.

AN INTERPRETING DISPUTE.

The South African war has raised many interesting questions. One of them concerns the Netherlands South African railroad. The British position is that the rights of the original share holders to compensation for the seizure of the line have, in a great measure, been forfeited by the hostile acts of the servants of the company during the Boer war. The German view is that the bona fde shareholders were unable to exercise any control over the local management of the line after the war began, knew nothing of the hostile acts alleged to have been committed against the British forces, and ought not to be held responsible for them. The Borsen Courier, the well known financial pa per of Berlin, says: Tn every country the railroads in time of war have to

The words which Dr. Munger speaks
 in reference to the value of organiza- tlons' are no less significant He de- clares that the weekly prayer meeting, the Sunday school, the missionary and
 young peoples organizations are essen-
 tlal to the life of the church. They are
 for all the churches "centers of life
 whence radlates whatever of life is in
 them and measures it's influence" "A church that subsists on preaching has its analogy in the lowest life in crea- ton" The best thought which he has given to his people, he asserts has been given to them in their midweek service. Such testimony has a bearing upon many questions now under discussion. They warn us that the reaction against organization should not lead to under valuation of the worth of organ izations. The church which is simply 9 preaching station is destined to brief existence, even if a Hills, A Cunsaulus or Munger fills the pulpit
 We are grateful for this strong, sen- sible and helpful farewell sermon of pr. Munger's, Through it he has rem dered a service, not merely to the church which be is leaving, but to the fraternity of churches confronted by many of the same conditions that ob tain in New Haven, The peculiar rela- tlon which exists between the city and the United church is not often paral- leled, but the same obligation which Dr. Munger presses home upon his people to create and sustain municipal church, one that rises to it's high voca- tion of living for Its community and for humanity at large, needs to be talk en to heart everywhere.-The Congre- gationalist of June 25.

The smoke upon your altar dies,
 The flowers decay; The goddess of your sacrifice
 Has flown away. What profit then, to sing, or slay The sacrifice from day to day? "We know the shrine Is void," they said
 ''1'he Goddess flown; Yet wreaths are on the altar laid
 The altar stone Is black with fumes of sacrifice, Albeit she has fled our eyes, "For, 1t may be, if still we sing
 And tend the shrine. Some Deity on wandering wing,
 May there incline, And finding all in order neat Stay, while we worship at her feet"

pooR CONNECTICUT FARMERS.

Connecticut Yankees have the repu-
 tation of being just about as smart
 as anybody and little bit smarter
 than most bodies, but it now appears l to detract from the reputation that has | been so long esta ablished. Those who
 are so acting are tobacco growers, and an old tobacco grower tells the Hart l ford Times all about it. It appears
 that the tobacco growers of this State
 sell their product too cheap, and that they will not make the least effort to better their dependent condition nor
 even agree to the adoption of meas
 ures that would be reasonably sure to
 strengthen their market The buyers
 know them like book and are perfect
 ly aware that the largest proportion
 of tobacco farmers in Connecticut are,
 reckoned as individuals, completely in
 their power. Some tobacco farmers rent the land they plant and find plen-
 ty of pressing needs for whatever money their crops will return, as soon
 as they are cured. Others have mort
 gages pressing with pitiless force, for keeps eating away, both night and day, and they have no resources by which to lift these dead weights from off their farms but the sale of their to- bacco crops. Many go heavily in debt in the spring for fertilizers and per haps a horse or two, calculating upon crop returns to square the bills. Such farmers are in no shape to hold their crops for better prices They must, in the want of any system for their re- lief let them go for what they are of fered for them, and this is precisely what they have done the past season, and, for that matter, have been doing for the past forty years. The buyers have an understanding by and through which they bear the market, and the majority of the producers are helpless in their hands
 This is a melancholy story, and it reads more like description of south ern negro farming than Connecticut Yankee farming. If it is true some thing ought to be done, but it is diffi | cult to see any adequate remedy.

 | The decision of the Supreme court of
 Alabama to the effect that the munich
 palities of that State may use the en- | tire proceeds of their total tax levying
 power for operating expenses wont help
 Alabamas 8 credit. The constitution of
 Alabama contains no limit to the
 amount of indebtedness which may be incurred by a county or municipality
 but provides limit to the taxes which may be levied for all purposes, includ- ing not only the interest on the indebt- edness of municipality but also the current expenses of government. As the rate of tax which may be levied under the constitu ution is small many of the municipalities are crippled for funds for operating expenses if they attempt to pay interest charges on their indebt- edness. Under the recent decision of the Supreme court payment of the bonded obligations is made secondary to the payment of the current ex- penses of government. In fact all the revenues yielded by the tax levy may be used for operating expenses and the interest charges on the bond indebted ness allowed to become delinquent.
 The sooner this state of things Is changed the better for Alabama, and for investors in her municipal bonds. Perhaps the constitutional convention now in session will attend to the mat ter. It ought to.

An effective aid to the police in ham ling crowds that gather to view parades or other public ceremonials has been devised in San Francisco. Along the principal streets metal sockets have been placed in the pavement just out side the curb. These sockets are fifty feet apart and into them, when pa- rades are to be held, are inserted wood en posts, on which ropes are stretched, as also telegraph or telephone wires for the interchange of communications and for police and hospital emergency cases, This device has demonstrated It's ad- vantages over the older methods. The work is more effectually done, with fewer policemen than before, and the rope supports are much stronger than the temporary cross-sticks generally used for this purpose. When the sock cts are not occupied by the police they are covered by metal caps, which are chained to the surrounding concrete.
