OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
The yisIoa of pr. smyth.
(Hartford courant, }

!
 The New Haven folks do well to be proud of theit historic old church on th4 Greeh--the John Dayenport church. It is not quit" so old as the First Church of Christ in Hartford, but 1t belongs in the same class. Its Leonard Bacon was for many years to New Haven very mitch what our Joel fiawes was to us--sn unMitred bishop of the town. When a man standing in that pulpit really has something to say, hls voice carries far. Pr, New man stnyth had something to say Sua- day morning His setnlon will prob ably make more stir and eoInmeht-- here n New England at any tate~- than any other of the days pulpit ut- terances. All our weekly religious contempotarles--Pfotestaht and Rcr man cathoic-wili sit up and take mo- tice, The theme of the sermon as sures that pr. srnyth's subject Sun, day morning was ''Ths Coming Cath plieism and the Passing Protestant ism" t''3

A RHODE ISLAND CHRISTMAS.


 Certain Rhode Islapd ministers are doing their best to out-Hsrod Herod, Not content with their efforts to make the sundays blue in their State, these gentlemen of the clergy have turned their efforts toward Christmas. The trouble is that the color of Christmas is predorninantly red and not by any manner or means verging on the azure hue,
 The Anti-saloon League through its agent, Rev. A R. eristy, has induced the police commissioners of Proyi- dence and Newport to have notices served on the saioonkeepers in those two places which state that they must close their doors on Christmas Day, Not content with thar the Woonsocket ministers have asked their board of alderman to see to it mat dancing, too, is forbidden on the twenty-fifth. We consider" they say, that dancing would be derogatory to the law of the Church and almost a dissertation of the sacredness of the day We earn estiy beg your honorable board to take an eousl action in regard to dancing in the public halls of the city and for bid it on that day"
 Our good-intentioned friends of the miniature State may think they are following in the steps of their saintly Puritan forefathers As q matter of fact they are not at all Our Puritan progenitors were strlct adherents to the belief that the sabbath Day should be kept with all strictness, 1t is true; but it is certainly aIso as true that they were believers in liberal per sonal option on Christmas Day, II was church in ths morning with them but 1t was the feast of the year after that with a nip" in the sauce of the plum pudding and with none-too-con, servative views as to liquid refresh ments.

that what these people wanted was, not the independent existence he had in mind for them. hut clean and healthy congestion; that to them the life in the center of the crowd was an inspiration of it's own. Tn other words differences in experience breed angle points, and we frequently make the mistake Of extending sympathy to those who are the least in need Of it From the point of view of the mem ing newspaper, which knows definitely that "the world do move, whatever sacrifice is involved in the deprivation of holiday recreations is more than made up by the satlsryIng knowledge that the work done is a necessary work and is the moro worthy because t will brook no interruption There is a positive joy, in . word, in the knowledge the morning newspaper has that the record of the day from the printing of this issue to that of tor

AFTER AGAMEMNnN.

There were brave men before Agamemnon, and there have been brave men after him. One of them, as has long been known in all the world is the President of the United States Just how brave he is is illustrated by one of those who have hunted wild animals with him and thus tells the Outlook about him; He is awful near sighted. and has his pockets full of different kinds of eyeglasses and spec tacles; he has one set for reading, one for ordinary outdoor work and one for shooting. We were going up narrow trail-1 was ahead--when I saw a big grizzly trotting down, not over a hun dred yards away. I jumped back and told MT. Roosevelt. Most any other man would first have thought of his gun, but Roosevelt stopped, felt around until he found the glasses that he wanted, took off the pair he had on, wiped the other pair and adjusted them on his nose; and then, with the grizzly coming along at a good clip and only few yards away on the narrow trail, he took time to get a good aim and shot him dead. A man that takes tire to change his eye. glasses when a grizzly Is charging him Is mighty brave.
 What, in the language of the boys, is the matter with that2 The only otb- CT who ever showed any more bravery

AN ACHIEVING ASSOCIATION.

They seem to have a Good Governy raent Association in Boston which not only associates but also achieves The discerning and reliable Bost. ] Tran script reports that it's work in im- proving the character of the Board of Aldermen has been worthy of ali praise. Its influence with Republican voters In the primaries has proved sufficient to bring about nominations which are worthy of the party and of the city. It has not yet accomplished much with the Democratic party, but it is no small achievement to give Boston voters list of aldermanic candidates whom self-respectipg Re- publicahs can enthusiastically sup port The so-called Fitzgerald Re publican type has been driven out by the activity of the Association. It also has had much to do in bringing the Finance Commission into effective op, eration
 This is good work, and, even with the prevalent financial stringency there should be no difficulty in evok- ing rom good citisens the fund: which the Association is calling for l---
 The little money which the Associa, ton needs and spends isn't much tc pay for what 1t does, though of course in the Athens of America there ough

THE WEST POINT POLO PONIES.


 The United States isn't extravagant in the matter of polo ponies for the army, but it does allow West Point a few. And as West Point wants good polo ponies the superintendent has recommended to the War department that he receive, authority to buy ten ponies each year for the use of the cadets in instruction in horsemanship. At present these horses are purchased by the auartermaster general under the usual system of acquiring the anil mals under contract for gsperal n1ill- tary use, and certain horses which are believed to be of special value at West Point are sent there. The supsriptend- ent at West Point has pointed out that he possesses better facilities for select ing 9 few horses which might be used in the practice of polo and other exr ercises of advantage to the cadets in equitation. The recommendations have been approved, but it will require leg islation to place a fund at the disposal of the superintendent of the academy
 This is all right. There can be no doubt that polo playing is a most useful exercise for those who are go- ing to be soldiers, especially in the cavalry arm, and it is reasonable to think that the superintendent of the military academy is likely to be able to get better polo ponies than the quartermaster general can get.
