INC Democrutic outlook.

The message of the Hon. David p.
Hill to the Democrats of Tennessee is a
good one There is says Dir. Hill,
much unnecessary discussion about the
reorganization OF the Democratic par
ty. 1t is difficult to ascertain exactly
what is proposed by those who make
use of it. The old party of Jefferson.
Jackson, and Tilden still lives. and is
good enough for us
This is entirely true. The party of
Jefferson. Jackson, and Tilden lives;
the party of Cleveland. after a debauch
of twelve years, with attendant conse-
Guences lasting eight years longer, is
dead.
From which much may be augured
of the future. And there is always the
Republican Administration to help
along 4he good work

AFTER LIEBER'S PLACE.
Several Applicants for the Position
of Judge Advocate General,

The Secretary of War has taken under
advisement the recommendations made to
him for the appointment of "A successor to
Judge Advocate General Lieber. who will
retire from the army next month. after
having reached the age of sixty-four
years. One of the most active candidates
for this position Is Col Thomas f.
Barr. of the Judge Advocate Generals De-
partment. Colonel Barr has been in
Washington for several days past. and has
spent much time in the corridors of the
War Department pushing his canvass for
promotion.
Another candidate who has been seen in
Washington frequently within the past
two weeks is Col John w. Clous. Col
onel Barr is the next ranking officer to
General Lieber. but both he and Colonel
Clous will also retire for age within u very
short time. Col. Ed Hunter is also spoken
of, but. like the other two candidates
would have a very short time TO serve be-
fore retiring with the rank Of brigadier
general.
Should the President and the Secretary
of War adhere to the rule laid down by
them when they declined to grant the ap-
plication of Gen. John NJ. Wilson. Chief of
Engineers, to retire before the regular
date of his retirement, 1t is very probable
that none of the officers named will be APP
pointed to succeed General Lieber Cen
eral Wilson's application for retirement
was conditional upon the department ap-
pointing Col. Henry NJ Robert to succeed
him., but as Colonel Robert would have
but very brief time to serve before re-
firing. General Wilson's application was
disapproved. This was done on the ground
that Congress had shown its disapproval
of the plan proposed of retiring army Off
GERS with the rank OF the next highest
grade. II is therefore very probable that
Lieut.. Col. George Il. Davis Will be select
ed to succeed General Lieber. Lieutenant
Colonel Davis is now in Washington for
the purpose of aiding Assistant Secretary
Sanger In the revision of the Army Regu-
lations. An order issued yesterday by the
of War relieves Colonel Davis OF
his duties of professor of law at the MILF
tary Academy at West Point and assigns
Major Edward s. Douglass TO succeed him.
This change does not become effective,
however, until August /.

IRON the Baltimore SUM
Mr.. Morgan and his associates are PLAYING for
high stakes. II their plans succeed they will
ultimately be the masters of American enter
prise and industry. The people Of the United
States will wear trust clothes and shoes, eat
trust meat, ride over trust railroads, burn trust
coal. and live in houses made of steel lumber
and brick controlled by trusts. When that stage
is reached they may find it necessary to ST.
cure permission from the trusts to live. The
trust tactics are Of the most subtle character.
Eloquent and ingenious advocates are employed
10 persuade the public that life under the trust
d spenSl;ion will be a dream of bliss an antici-
patton of many of the blessings of the millen-
MUM. Indeed Mr.. Morgans admirers are almost
ready to claim that he is the forerunner of the
thousand years of happiness which the world
has been promised Possibly the establishment
may come when the trusts have a firm, hold on
the Emitted States and longer conceal their
teeth Until then they may be expected to ne
all smiles and blarney in promoting their com
munity of interests"

much unnecessary discussion about the

ton was at once called to the typhoid

Yale Corporation. and was as follows:
Yale University. Secretary's Office.
April 10.
Dear Sir: Many cases of typhoid fever
have recently developed in that section
of the city west of York Street, and fed
from the Dawson Lake reservoir. The
cause OF the infection has. 1t is thought,
been discovered and relieved, while that
part of New Haven in which Il majority
of students live secures its water almost
entirely from other sources
Acting under the advice OF the health
officer and some of the best known ply
sicians, and with the approval of the dean
of the Academical Department and the
director of the Sheffield Scientific School,
it has been decided, however. to urge all
students to refrain. for the present. from
previously boiled. 1t is also advisable
that no uncooked vegetables be eaten III
these simple rules are observed. there
need be no fear on the-part of the stu
dents in the university or their parents.
Yours, yer. truly. GA

Many of the undergraduates of the Yale
