POLITICS

Just at present are blowing through the air in sort of cyclOnic rage, ana they will continue to do so for good long two months. Some of our good citiens who are at loggerheads at the present time will become the best or friends in a week or two; or course, that's good news. and some voters who are at present on very friendly terms will be bitter enemies shortly, and pos sibly remain so for all time. Ihat should not be so. We will soon hear of clambakes being held here ana there and everywhere .just for soci;l- bflity,s sake,'' but you bet your boots politics will be served out on side dish every time. Of course, there nothing wrong about such gatherings; in fact, we like to see them, but We would much prefer to see good, rlcn. fresh roasted, nicely made coffee drank instead of the beverage generally used on such occasions, because it will not muddle the brain, but on the con- trary would enlighten that organ to very great extent. Therefore, we ap- peal to all politicians, particularly the ward heelers, to begin now and drink nothing but our Tea and Coffee and see how much more easily you can convince the other fellows that they should be On the same side of the fence upon which you stand boldly and fearIessly- Try it for a month or two and judge for yourself.

 q wonder what the parents of those boys would say if they could see them now?'' inquired c. J. Thompson, bag gagemaster at the Naugatuck station, of a Democrat reporter this morning, pointing to couple of youngsters who were sitting on the edge of the plat form, so near the tracks that they would be as likely to run under the wheels as not ill case train came along. '.You would be surprised" con tinued MT Thompson, If you knew how much trouble we are put to in keeping youngsters out of harms way at this season. They come around in squads and sit in the most dangerous places they find and when driven from one spot they plant themselves some place else where the danger is just as great Talk about accidents, but if it were not for the care railroad em- ployes take to try and keep children and others out of the way you would | hear of some one being crushed to death every day in the week. The chil- dren are the worst of all and I'm sur | prised that their parents don't keep q | closer eye on their movements. There's | two beautiful little fellows now sitting within q foot of the tracks and if any thing happened them their parents would never get over it and yet they i allow them to run the risk of being
 killed or maimed every time they all | low them to come around here.' At l this juncture a car whistle was heard
 up the road and the baggag agemaster shouted to the boys to look out. They | jumped up and instead of getting out of danger at once ran across the rracKs
 and stood towards the foundry build ing. There is great danger in this
 kind of pastime and parents should do away from such places.

If it was close to election day, you'd see fireworks going up in all sections, yes, ana money running as freely as the beautl- full waters of the Mad river out III WOlcott: you'd also hear promises o1 every nature, even a solemn promise that Hamilton Park would be the very first improvement Waterbury was to receive after they were elected to ot- fee Say. the people who have 1t i'll their power to lay out and equip q beautiful park for the city of Water bury should feel rather backward 1n looking for political favOrS next fall- Remember election day is coming and people who give q black eye to neces- sary Improvements and only think of how to hoOdwink the people shou be taught lesson.

Our Underpaid Consular Service.
From the Providence Journal.


The resignation of Consul General Stowe
at Cape Town affords the country another
proof of the false economy involved in un-
derpaying our consular and diplomatic rep
reSentatives. Mr.. Stowe resigned because
he has grown weary of administering a
six-thousand-dollar office on a salary OF
three thousand dollars. Private means
alone enabled him to stick to his post as
long as he has done, and to keep with him
his family Of three persons, whose travel
ing expenses cost him nearly a years sal
ary. Besides this claim upon his made
Quate pay, there are the appeals of
stranded Americans and the demands of
house rent. which other governments fur
nish their representatives. to say nothing
Of the general cost Of living at Cape Town,
which Mr.. Stowe says is the most expen-
sive place In the world.
Mr.. Stowe draws attention to the fact
that American trade interests in Cape
Colony are more extensive and important
than those OF any other country, and yet
four other. nations with. which we may
claim to rank in size, wealth and power
pay their representatives more than We do.
Germany. our great commercial rival pays
than three times as much; France pays
seven thousand five hundred little Hol-
land finds her interests worth a salary of
five thousand; and even Spain, which does
not rank high a commercial nation
pays twelve hundred dollars more than we
do. Similar comparisons would doubtless
reveal like situation In other ports where
We are hoping to enlarge our trade.

PROFESSIONAL COACHES.
All the Crews at POughkeepsfe but
Georgetown Had Them.

Georgetown Had Them.
From the New York Tribune.
Among the alumni gathered at Pough-
keepsie last week on the eve Of the college
boat races there was a great deal Of spirit
ed discussion regardi g the advisability Of
putting professional coaches in supreme
control Of the crews and allowing them to
appear before the public as the rowing rep
resentatives Of the colleges. OF the six
crews that rowed last week on the Hudson
all but Georgetown had professional
coaches in absolute control. Said an alum
Of Columbia: There are a lot Of US
at Columbia who don't believe in allowing
paid coach who never was in Columbia
or any other college, and whose sole claim
to recognition is his ability to pull good
stroke and to teach it. to represent the
university in public and control the entire
boating interests Of the university. Let US
have the professional coach by all means
but let him be only the technical instructor
of the crew, and let there be a graduate
coach as final authority and spokesman
AS 1t Is. the victory Of any college nova
days Is largely the victory of it's particular
coach, who is quoted and phot ographed and
lauded ad nauseam. Harvard and Yale
have the right idea. At Yale the proft s.
sional coach is employed. but you never
hear OF him delivering treatises on Yale
rowing. Mr.. Allen represents the uni
yersity, and is it's final rowing arbter Mr.
Storrow occupies a similar place at Har-
ward, and that Is. as 1t should be-"

TRAINING COLLEGE oARsMEN.
The Method Employed by Courtney at
Cornell University.

Cornell University.
From the New York Tribune
The training that the Cornell crew squad
receives under the experienced hand Of
Courtney has perhaps no more prominent
feature than It's rigid discipline. Courtney
allows. of course, Ab smoking, and insists
on regular, early hpnrs qf going to bed and
getting up. but he goesrbeyond many other
coaches in supervistng personally the mems
diet. and especiallriin forbidding absolute
ly the use of liquor Il Grew training at Cor
nell begins in the fall, when the freshman
candidates are coached by Courtney in
pair-oared and fourtoafsd tubs" the coach
occupying the coxswafn's seat. This train
ing corrects the fresnmen greater faults.
and gets them in tshapei to begin work on
the gymnasium rowing machines in January
with the varsity candfdates:
The latter's required training does not be-
gin until January ,palthpugh many of them
row in the fall In scrdb eights or in the
class races, On the ifnaehines Courtney ex-
periments with eRmhfRations and tries
out" the men thoroughly, although 1t often
happens that men iMnese form Is nearly
DC rfect and whose endurance is strongest
on the machine make the poorest showing
in the water
Courtney puts the men on the water just
as soon as the ice Is out of the Cayuga
Lake inlet. on which Cornell's boat house
is situated The varsity candidates row
in eight-oared shells at once, but the fresh
men practice one or two weeks In the
tubs and in an eight-oared barge, COM
paratively heavy, and built to save the
wear on the lighter shells. Practice con-
tirues on the inlet until Cayuga Lake is
calm enough to row on. Then work is
transferred to the larger body of water,
when four-mile and two-mile courses are
marked out, one on each side of the lake.
In May and June of each year. when the
practice is most severe. the crews leave the
boat house at $50 each afternoon, and, ac-
ccmpanied by Courtney in launch, row
for two hours or more, returning between
7:S0 and 8 O'Clock. Then there are the bath

ants at the same place yesterday.
After splendid exhibition with the shot
