THE YALE SPIRIT.

There are many reasons why Yale University
should celebrate with pride the two hundredth
anniversary of its foundation, but one of them
stands pre-eminent. What should give its
admirers the greatest satisfaction as they sur
vey its two centuries of notable achievement in
training young men for employment both in
church and civil state is the fact that it has
always made the national cause its own; that
ii has never faltered in its allegiance to the
flag; that ii has invariably illustrated a true and
manly ideal of American citizenship. The quail
ity Of its patriotism has been unquestioned. and
it has hesitated in times of national stress
TO place its finest energies. intellectual and
material, at the eountry's service.
This was as true In the Colonial days as now
The colony of Connecticut was founded in
almost absolute independence of control by
church or king; its form of government was
among the earliest of written constitutions. and
il steadily fought throughout the whole Colonial
era every attempt OF England TO impose upon it
arbitrary rule. OF this spirit Yale was one
of the chief conservers, and in the days preced-
ing the break with England il was frequently
stigmatized by loyaiists as a veritable nest of
sedition The fine patriotism Of the struggling
college during the Revolution is typified for all
time in the martyrdom of Nathan Hale, a
graduate Of the class of i1773; and that this
sentiment was not confined TO the undergradu-
ate body was illustrated in the well known
enterprise of Naphtali Daggett. president from
1866 TO l777. who when New Haven was in
vaded shouldered a musket and marched at
the head of the students against the British
forces The part that Yale men played in the
Civil War, the manner in which scores of under
graduates threw aside their books at Lin
coins first call for volunteers, is a story too
well known TO need retelling. But perhaps the
proudest fact of all is that in these latter days
when the spirit Of whining has been abroad
when hundreds Of intellectual exquisites costly
ensconced in many a professional sanctum
have shown their utter inappreciatinn of a

In It's highly commendable struggle TO clear
.ts character as a legitimate opposition party
the Democratic organization in Pennsylvania
has recently encountered series OF mishaps
almost opera bouffe in their comic absurdity.

party in Pennsylvania found itself forced TO

the Dauphin County Court TO restrain the Secre-
tary Of State from certifying Mr.. COray as a
Democratic candidate. The legality Of his nom-
ination was denied, both because it violated the
terms Of the resolution adopted at Allentown
and because IL was accomplished at a meeting

predicament in Pennsylvania is as embarrass-

the current OF politics, with no recognized func-
tions and no clearly defined purposes, the con-
ditiOn of the Democratic organization only en-
phasizes the pathetic fate which must sooner
or later overtake every party which forgets its
true role and denies its true responsibilities in
the political mechanism of which it is an essen

FRENCH INNING TROUBLEs.

The long pending troubles in the mining
regions of France seem 10 be approaching a
climax. They were held somewhat in allegiance
for a time, or at least public attention was
diverted from them, by the circumstances
attendant upon the visit OF the Emperor Of
Russia Now, with that incident ended and
with Parliament opened, and with Novem-
ber 1 near at hand, every day sees the
tension more severe and the menace Of grave
disturbance increasing. November l is men
toned because that Is the date fixed upon
for Il general strike in case the demands OF the
men are not granted by the mine owners The
demands are for an eight hour day, minimum
wage. adjusted according to the special needs Of
each place, and a retiring pension of 40 cents
day for life after twenty-five years service in
the mines, regardless of the age OF the work
man. Thus far It is not known that any con-
siderable number Of mine owners have shown
any disposition 10 grant such terms.
1t will be observed from the current news
that the miners are by no means united. They
are divided into two factions, one favoring and
one opposing strike. Such division OF opinion
has long existed. Months ago Il arose in the
Lens Congress, which adopted resolutions in
favor of two general strikes. The first was 10
begin on May l, unless the Monceau les Mines
strikers had by that time received satisfaction.
The second is the one now threatened for
November l. But the Lens Congress also voted
that these strikes should be ordered only IL
favored by a majority of miners in referen-
DUN. In the referendum on the May strike the
result was disappointing to the strike pro-
mOters OF 10000 miners only $4,000 voted for
n strike and $1,000 against it, and the remain
ing 10000 refraned from expressing any
opinion. All these latter were counted as voting
for strike, hut the propriety of doing so was
questioned, and the executive committee de-
clined to assume the responsibility of ordering
n strike with so dubious authorization. The
May strike was therefore postponed, and is now
combined potentially with that planned for
November l.
The chief storm centre is naturally Monceau
les Mines, but practically all the mining regions
of France are involved. The complete referen-
dunn has not yet been taken but the most trust
worthy opinion is TO the effect that an over
whelmng majority now favors a strike and will
so vote. The danger of the situation lies in the
fact that most Of the miners are skilled in the
use Of firearms and are provided with rifles and
ammunition. No secret is made OF their inten-
tlon 10 resort TO violence if that be in their eyes
necessary for the success of the strike. AT the
same time there are thousands of miners
equally well armed, who will disregard strike
orders and continue at work, and who will
resist with deadly force any attempt of the
strikers to drive them away. The outlook is
one we'll calculated to cause much anxiety
which will increase in intensity as November
approaches.

critical point in American history, the uni
versity At New-Haven has spoken out loud and
bold. One of the tenderest reeollections of Yale
men to-day must be that three years ago. when
the noble craftsmanship of William Mckinley
was not so generally recognized as now, the
Yale Corporation made evident It's admiration
Of his character and career by giving him the
degree of Doctor of Laws. And in view OF all
these facts it is especially fitting that formal
feature of this celebration should be the be-
stowal of the same honor in person upon
Theodore Roosevelt, another exemplar of patri-
otism and vigorous citizenship after the best
Yale manner.
Is this the Yale spirit? If it is, three days OF
eloquence, of illumination, of emblematic cere-
monial and historic pageant are scarcely long
enough. There is nothing squeamish or thln
skinned in the quality of Yale Americanism; it
is strong, young, selfassertive, unquestioning
Therefore let the university rejoice; and let the
nation rejoice also!
