TIE ExERCrsEs AT THE FIELD


 The Commencement exercises at the Yale field yesterday afternoon were too one-sided to be as exciting as they were expected to be, but they were de- cidedly interesting, and were heartily enjoyed by many among those present. There were some among those present who didn't heartily enjoy them, but that wasn't Yale's fault. Her represen- tatives did all they could to make it pleasant for everybody, but of course they couldn't have been expected to shoo Victory away from her chance to perch on the roasting place she likes so well, and which must seem like home to her, so often does she perch there.
 Glory enough for one day yesterday! Now for the exercises at New London, and more glory. And then for the New York division of them. When Yale has been fully victorious both on land and water that is all she will modestly ask for the present week.

After hanging in the courts for an indefinite period judgment has finally been given in the case of the decimated Board of Aldermen. The court after an exhaustive hearing finds that the Democrats were wrong in claiming that their meeting was the legal one and that the subsequent conduct of the Republican members ran counter to the statutes. To be so thoroughly done for suggests the query, What was the con- troversy begun for?
 Laymen and but few of the practical politicians have understood what this prolonged controversy was all about, and even now they are more or less at sea over it. Judge Robnsons decision gives them, however, in one respect a needed understanding. In speaking of the organization of the board he says: "TEis meeting was called to order by Oll6 OA l1IC lSll 4llSIIlOClS pLGS6lll OH lUb stroke of eight with unreasonable haste and dispersed with unreasonable haste {" No reasonable delay, he adds, was per- mitted by the Democratic members to await the arrival of the Republican members. though such reasonable delay should have been exercised. In other words, if we may interpret this state- ment by such knowledge as we happen to have of the probable conduct of po- lltical bodies when there is a hen on," 1t means that from the first the object was to got the better of the situation by trickery rather than by the force of numbers or by the gospel Of right makes might. Had there been no clock in the chamber of the Board of Alder men and had no two of the watches

IusT APPoRTIONMENT.

Governor Hughes who has developed a livelier taste for things as they should be than the old party wheel horses like, now urges the General As sernbly of New York to enact a consti- tutional apportionment of senatorial and assembly districts before it ad- journs. The enterprise has been dead locked because the opposing plans of tho political leaders cannot be made to agree. Each set wants advantages which it Is unwilling to give to the other.
 What would be the effect upon the State of Connecticut of the reappor- tionment of it's congressional districts as provided for and directed by the United States statutes? The federal law provides that after each census the States of the Union having more than one representative shall arrange their districts according to population The State of Connecticut is entitled to five members of the lower but popu lar house of Congress but one of them it elects as a representative at large. This is done because the General As- sembly, guided by the political leaders, haa been unable to agree upon re- apportionment. One serious attempt was made when Connecticut was given an additional member, but 1t fell athwart the political holdings of an in- terested party. Since then nothing has been done.
 Connecticut has done nothing to obey the United States law in over fifty years and yet 1t cotnpels its citi- zens every day in the year to obey it's laws. We agree that the citizens of the State should obey it's laws, but we are at loss to determine upon what theory the State need not obey the laws of the nation. Fortunately for our self-respect no excuse is offered. We just stay lawless and contented.

Must Go
lNew York Tribune. l


 Respect for the classics is survival of that hard dying aristocratic instinct in the human race which it Is the bus mess of democracy to destroy, By re- specting the works of writers who have got their names upon the pages of the literary peerages the buyer of books thinks to make himself respectable. To have the great names upon your book shelves Is almost like being invited out to dine with persons of title, or at least persons generally known to spend not less than $100)00 a year, They are certificates of culture, The buying and displaying of them represent certain intellectual snobbishness. It may be questioned whether a perfect democracy will suffer the continued supremacy of this aristocracy of letters. If a tax would level down these literary aristo- crats and level up the pennya-liners sand improve the general conditions of literary manufacture then the authors In the literary sweatshops of Paris are right ill advocating tax.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES,
A Notion and n Sign.
(New York Evening Post.)

(New York Evening Post.)
 If 1t be really true that a notion has become pervasive that q setback Is in store for US, 1t is one of the signs that 1t will actually come. As a financial community thinketh. so is it. When 1t gets apprehensive, it will draw gloomy differences from the same indications which, at a time of optimism. 1t would dismiss as of no consequence, or actual ly interpret as full of good cheer Thus just now the undeniable restriction oi bank accommodation, with the high rates for longtime loans, and the mum Der of strikes that are fought and fail, are pointed to ominously as pretty cer- tain prophecies of financial recession; yet in themselves the facts are suscep- tible of explanation as timely precau- tions in preparation for the great de- mand for money in the autumn, when business Is going to be larger than ever. Thus the very meat of the optim- ist may be the poison of the pessimist.

 Perhaps there are some things which cant be made in Germany" Herr Privy Councillor Theodore Hcmpen- macher. the government supervisor of the Bourse at Berlin, thinks there Is one. He has been in this country for the purpose of studying our stock ex- change conditions, and, having observ- led, has sailed away for Germany. Be- fore he went he expressed the belief that no possible change of methods in the Berlin Bourse could cause 'even an approach to the colossal American speculative mania" He went on to say; This is due largely to a differ- ence in the national temperament which makes a German hold fast to what he has, while an American will sacrifice all he owns for the sake of gaining more"
 Judging from recent events there Is quite enough speculation carried on through the Berlin Bourse, but per- haps the Herr Privy Councillor is right in his idea that the Germans cant equal the Americans in speculating, Meanwhile there is little reason to doubt that in spite of the tendency of the Germans to hold fast to what they have ingenious and speculative Americans will continue to loosen some of them from some of 1t. It is hard to resist an ingenious and specu- lative American when he needs, or thinks he needs, money.

Queen Alexandras private library is one of the most remarkable in the kingdom. Her kindness to budding and full blown authors is as well known and genuine as her love of good works, and consequently few days pass unmarked by the arrival of a number of sumptuously bound and beautifully printed books and maga- zines, accompanied by requests for her Imajesty's acceptance. Her majesty always accepts, and sees that a civilly worded note of thanks is dispatched to the aspiring author.

MANIAC LOOSE.
Breaks From Confinement in St. Mary's
Hospital

Jack Pakala, Deep River logger
aged about 20 years, who has been
confined in the violent ward OF st.
Mary's hospital, and Is regarded as a
dangerous lunatic, broke loose yester-
day, He oyerpowered the attendant
who was bringing in his dinner and
rushed from the cell. Leaping through
an open window he made his escape
Instantly the hospital steward was
informed and with an assistant he
started in pursuit. After a sharp
chase they caught up with him. but
Ii took the assistance of two more men
to overcome the maniac and return
him to his cell. During his brief bit OF
freedom the deranged man created
considerable alarm, but fortunately did
no damage. Deputy Sheriff Archie
Mclean was sent for Sunday after
noon to put the fellow In restraint and
that officer placed muff handouts on
the prisoner. How he managed to
break loose while thus encumbered Is
a mystery.
