THE KICKER.

The greatest band Of patriots this
world has ever seen were .kickers. :
The men who pledged their lives.
their fortunes and their sacred honor
ID stand together in an effort to redress
their grievances were skickersD They
we're the leaders of the English colonists
a10ng the Atlantic Coasts, and they
believed that the emigrants to America
should enjoy the same privileges as If
they had remained, or had been born,
within the realm" That sentence was
in all their charters; and James Otis, in
his speech in Boston in 1850 asserted
that Taxation without representation
Gn Parliament) is tyranny sentence
that became a watshword during the
exciting years that followed.
The Stamp Act came in 17G5. and
delegates from nine OF the colonies met
In New York and put up kick"
against it and Sons of Liberty" asso-
Citations were organized all through the
colonies. Then came the restrictions
to the trade of the colonies; the quarter
ing Of troops In Boston andthe massacre
Of March 8, ITO; the destruction of tea
In Boston harbor, dec. 10, 1873; the
Boston port and other tyrannical bills;
the first continental Congress" held
In Philadelphia in September 1774; the
minute men organizations; the Lex
ington and Concord affairs of April
1915; the assembling OF armed men
around Boston; the battle of Bunker
Tor Breeds Hill I'm June 1775; the
second Continental Congress in Phila-
deIphia and the appointment Of George
Washington to the supreme command,
the organization Of an army, the attack
On Boston; and then that great event
which we celebrate ,next week, the
signing OF the Declaration Of Inde-
depence." by the second Continental
Congress in Philadelphia, July 4th.
177G-from which event dates the birth
of this Nation
The war for Independence and against
the usurpation Of the civil rights of the
colonists. was practically ended att
Yorktown, Virginia, on Oct. 10, 1881,
by the surrender Of CORVALLIS; though
the treaty of peace was not signed (at
Paris)-and the British army did not evac-
uate New York until Nov 1852. Then
the American army was disbanded;
Washington resigned his commission,
and the colonies continued for some
years under the ARTICLES of Confedera-
tion, adopted In 1777 But these prov
ing unsatisfactory constitutional con-
vention was called to meet In Philadel-
ph1a, May 1857. and after long dis
cnssion, the delegates adopted the present
Constitution, the following September.

JULIE BoNBON.'
Smart Play by Clara Lipman With
 Little Hungary Roughhouse.

Smart Play by Clara Lipman With
 Little Hungary Roughhouse smart" the posters called it, and smart, in its up-to-now sense is a good adjective to describe Julie Bonbon" withal. It appeared at the Hyperion, with Miss Clara Lipman, the writer, as Julie" and MT. Louis Mann as her old roue of a father.
 The plot concerns the love of Fifth Avenuite for Julie" French milliner very Frenchy. The first scene, in her shop, has some amusing hat-selling scenes, aside from the matters actually concerned with the plot. The third act is a rough-house in Little Hungary, that New York resort of would-be and will-be Bohemians, which is a cafe chantant, and little of Hungary and a little more of thirsty, besides a little more of everything merry. The accu- rate setting, lively situations, and hust- ling ''business of. this act were like a taste of the real thing. Yet merry as the scene was, it was not too piquant, the double entendres being confined to the rather slow beginning of the first act.
 Miss Lipmans own part is rather emotional than comic, MT. Louis Mann, with his perfect makeup and French accent is the principle fun maker More humorous yet, as more delcately done was some of MT. 'csao,.era pory,nefort,e ontipo in +ha mart of Stevens, a roue, this time precisely dressed and English. The wag of his foot and his little chuckle when he had bested Mrs. Van Brunt" in struggle of wit were irresistible.
 After the Little Hungary scene there were five curtain calls. and the audi ence, wild over Mir. Manns humor insisted on a speech. The play will bt repeated this evening.

THE BowD1roH TUENITURr0o.
Have an Unusually Fine Line for Yale
 Men.

The time for the opening of college is fast approaching, and before another week is ended the Yale boys will be comfortably located in rooms furnished for the most part, by the Bowditch Fur niture company. The Bowditch com pany has been preparing for this event and has on hand such large stock that it can supply all the demands at short notice and save you the trouble some and tiresome waits in starting the college year.
 The quantity is not the only remark able thing about this stock of furniture. Its quality and the prices are absolutely a revelation, as all will find on visiting this ng-established and long-famous headquarters for first-class furniture. The reputation of this house stands de- servedly high among the noted furnl- ture emporiums of the United States. This store has served Yale men satls- factorily for over eighty years. It will do better than ever this year.
 The company has established a branch store at 96O Chapel street, where orders for furniture may be left. See advertisement on Page seven.

LEADLRS ARE SATISFIED.
Republican pIatfOrm Strong and is
 Going to Win.

Now that the republican convention is over and the smoke of battle has cleared away, leaders of the party take clearer view of the situation, and if possible, more hopeful one than that held before the gathering. The plat form has met with popular approval the candidates are sure to be strongly supported at the polls, and everything points to triumph of the republican party. There are no factions within the party, and, with the strong platform on which it stands, it does not fear any opponents.
 The speech of Hugh A. Alcorn, of Suffield, at the convention has created quite a stir in the party. It Is felt that Mir. Alcorn, championing the cause of the younger element, has sounded the knell of the old leaders who have con- trolled affairs so long. MT. Alcorn has represented his town at the state legis- lature several times, and is recognized as one of the coming leaders of the par ty, and his words concerning the future of the party are regarded as prophetic.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
North Carolina Chief Justice Would
 Alter the Method.

Nofth Carolina ClleI IustASe would
 Alter the Method.
 Our manner of electing a President 1 readily lends itself to the choice of a minority candidate. It Is an anomally that HOO votes-as in New York in 1SS4-should swing seventy electoral votes, thirty-flve from one candidate to another, and thus decide an election,
 By preserving the electoral vote sys- | tenn as now, and giving the smaller still the advantage, 1t might yet be possible to decide the electoral vote of each State according to the popu- lar vote for each candidate, giving each his pro rata of the electoral vote on that basis, the odd elector being apportioned to the candidate having the largest fraction; so that in New l York MT. Blaine would have had seven- teen electoral votes and MT, Cleveland eighteen.
 Other States would also have been more or less evenly divided but the result would be that the choice Of President would no longer be restricted 1 to two or three States as in our past history and as is likely always to be l tho case as long as the whole electoral vote of two or three large pivotal States must swing to one side or the other and determine the result
 This change would avoid the present evil of large sums of money being spent to carry the solid electoral vote of a large pivotal State, for there would cease to be pivotal States At the same time it would avoid the open tgulf into which a per capita ballot by the whole Union would lead us. 1 By the convention of 17S7 the term of the President was originally liked at seven years and he was made ineli- gible for reelection. This was reduced to four years by a compromise that he could be reelected without limitation.
 Washington imposed limitation by example, but it will not always De binding. An amendment making the term six years and the President in- eligible to reelection has long been de- sired by q large portion of the public Indeed, when the Constitutional con Ivention of the Union shall assemble, as it must some day, to remodel our Con- stitution, it is more than probable that the powers of the Executive will also be restricted.
 His powers are now greater than those of any sovereign of Europe ex- oept Russia, and the real restrictions upon him at present are not constitu- tlonal. but the Senate and the judi ciary. Hon. Walter Clark in The In6anandent

MICROBES IN THE BIBLE.

British Witnesses to be Sworn on
 Washable Testaments.
 The chairman of the Otley bench yes terday gave practical proof of his sym- pathy with witnesses who object to 'kiss the book" because they fear mic- robes in It's well-thumbed pages, by presenting to the court twelve New Testaments with covers which can be washed, says the London Chronicle of Aug 24.
 He also promised to give another Testament bound in white celluloid on which the smallest speck of dirt could be seen. He added that after seeing many policemen search for a clean page in the wellworn book used in the court he gave instruction for all police witnesses to take the Scottish oath.
 Now that he has provided the court with washable Testaments the police will be able to revert to the orthodox method of taking the oath.
 It frequently happens in our courts that when a witness objects to kiss the covers of "the book" he is told by the judge or magistrate to open and kisi one of the pages, but there are Testa- ments in use in some of the courts which have scarcely a page that hal not been kissed by a hundred witnesses of whom not a few have been consump' lives.
 If the home secretary were to ac upon the hint thrown out by the chair. man of the Otley bench and direct tha washable Testaments only should b, : used in our courts, he would confer great benefit upon the community. H might also go step further and mak 1t the duty of an official in every cour to see that the books were washed.
 The Testaments at present in us should be destroyed Very few of ther if bacteriologically examined, woul probably be found free from diseas germs and to put them into circluatio would merely be to transfer the dange /, of creating disease from the court the home.

STANLEY MUST FIGHT.

Prospects Favor Nomination of Joseph
 o'Brien, Who Will Prove Strong op-
 ponent to the Senator.
 Although Senator John F. shanley was renominated by the democrats of the Eleventh district with an enthusi- asm which seemed very favorable to his chance of election, another face is put on the matter now by the fact that Joseph F. o'Brien is a strong can- didate for the republican nomination, MT. O'Brien is very popular among the members of the republican party and is trusted counsellor in the ranks ot organized labor. In Irish national cir cles MT. O'Brien has held leading po- sition for years, and few possess the confidence of that element as he does.
 The strong bonds between MT. OBrien and organized labor will be of great help to the republican candidate, TOT Senator Shanley is not as strongly sup ported by the labor element as previ- ously.
