POLITICAL POINTERS.
Republicans of the Fourth Ward Eu.
 deavorinS to Organixe.

For some time past the politicians nave been urging republicans of the Tourtn ward to get together and or ganize for the coming city election. mere does not seem to be many men of that color in the fourth district this year and as consequence they have been rather bashful about step- ping into the lime light. But things are getting desperate and something had to be done, and with view to lending hand F. l.. Terrell the school inspector. with one or two others headed for republican headquarters Saturday night in the hope of finding some of the faithful there ahead of them. Whether it was the bad wealth CT or not does not appear, but in any secretary, there were not enought left to offer and second a motion and it was thought best not to go any fuEth- CT until search had beer instituted for adherents of the g. o. ?. all over the ward A paper will be passed around which every tried and true man will be asked to sign and if enough to make a respectable show ing can be jumped up the boys wdl try again next Saturday night.
 A man who has good word to say now and then for the business admin istration was found wandering about Benedict street Saturday afternoon and being questioned as to what he was doing in that neighborhood said he wanted to get over to Bank street and inquired If there was no cross street at that point He was shown the little passway along the Naugatuck river and informed that more people pass to and fro there in the rounds of the year in all kinds of weather, than use some of the important public thoroughfares of the city and then asked what he thought of a business administration i that hadn't turned hand towards get ting n suitable road opened through and without saying word one way or the other he stepped down onto the footpath in the direction of Bank street. It would be interesting to know what he thought with reference to the need of street there after he reached the opposite side.

COLLEGE M EN-
Chancellor Objects to Having Them in
Inaugural Parade.

New YORK. Feb. G.--Ir an address TO the
undergraduates, Chancellor McCracken OF
New York University. today expressed
himself as opposed to the plan 10 hav"
college men in the inaugural parade at
Washington. After saying that he In
common with other college presidents had
received letter from the inaugural COM
mittec requesting his aid in the matter.
inc chancellor continued:
- have declined to take up the mater
because think this inaugural committees
arg doing very foolish thing. They are
attempting to take one-tenth Of The col
lege students of the country TO Washing
ton TO perform no higher mission thar,
march an hour or so along the avenue
and stand for ar hour or two about the
capitol building.
Ny first objection is that the whole
plan will convey to students a weak and
false notion regarding the best way of
"videncing patriotism. 1t asks nothing,
from the brains of students. 1t asks, fot.
their legs and feet. This call to prove
our patriotism by marching is like a de
mand that we prove our religion by cere-
rnony and genuhection. Another objection
Is that the plan is a thoughtless breaking
into the term Of college work with q de-.
mand for a three or four days recess
