T4LE'S OLD HOME FEEK.

Yale's Old Home Week began yester- day. It will be heartily celebrated by beth those who come back home and those who are going to leave home. Those who are going to leave will have the usual advice given them. Some of them will take It, Some wont. What a pity 1t is that they can't all take 1t, for there is no sounder or better advice than the children of Yale get when they are about to go into the worlds broad field of battle" How much time and trouble young men could save If they were docile enough to take such advice and make 1t their basis of living, and how much they could add to the world s stock of good things.
 Ten years from now the sitting and placing of the young men who go out of Yale this week will be pretty much done By that time most of them will know where they are Good luck to them all--the good luck that will come from 8 proper use of their education, and proper application of their native force and the Yale spirit. There's al- ways room at the top, and there are some pretty fair roasting places all the way up. They say these are somewhat sordid times. If they are we hope that the Yale class of 1907 will not become thoroughly tainted and at some future reunion report that all it's members are rich up to or beyond the dreams of avsrice. Of course such a class would bs famous, but the time would come when 1t wouldn't be called as successful as some other classes.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
Same Old Connecticut.

Charleston News and Courier)
 The New Haven Journal and Courier is distressed about the political condi- tions in the State of Connecticut It shudders to think what the historian of the future will make out of his study of the legislative Journals of the pres ent year Connecticut appears to be under the domination of an utterly ir- responsible majority, a "do-nothing" Legislature which has devoted most of its time to the antagonism of attempt cd improvements in the government of the Commonwealth, but history repeats itself, we are told, and the character of the Connecticut of this day appears to have not changed greatly since the time of Gouveneur Morris, who pro vided fin his will written in 1760, 147 years ago, as follows;
 Tt Is my desire that my son, Gouveneur Morris, be given the best education that is to be had in England or America; but my express will and directions are, that he be never sent for that purpose to the colony of Con- necticut, lest he should imbibe in his youth that low craft and cunning so incident to the people of that country which is so interwoven in their consti- tuition that all their art cannot dis guise 1t from the world though many Of them under the sanctif1ed garb of religion have endeavored to impose themselves on the world for honest men"
 Tho future writer of the history of Connecticut with this chart clearly in his mind will not be greatly surprised at such excesses of stupidity and dis loyalty to the best interests of the Commonwealth that he may discover in tho records of the present time.

THE HEAL DARK noRSE.

Not long ago Colonel Watterson made some stir by his vague refer ences to a dark horse with mus tache, and then he laughed little. But if he hadn't laughed the shine would have been taken off his prediction by the definite and illuminating predic- tion made by the Hon Bourke Cock ran, who solemnly says that should the situation develop a stronger man than MT. Bryan. he will undoubtedly come to the front
 Mir. Cochran has picked out the real dark horse that will not, if it comes to the front, say nay Of course if it doesn't come to the front it will stay behind.

THE nA11RoAD MERGER.

It Is becoming self-evident that the hysteria which has overcome many of the members of the Massachusetts
 legislature on account of the proposed merger of the Boston and Maine rail- road with the New Haven system will itself be overcome by the sound com mon sense of the business men of that State. Slowly they are coming to realize that the danger lies, not in promoting the merger with reasonable dispatch and sympathy, but in blindly yielding to hysterical apprehension based on the inability to stop the pro- gress of the twentieth century.
 It is good to hear Henry M. Whitney of that State speaking the words of practical common sense. He says: If we can safely be guided by the light of experience, there is no reason for |distrusting the effect of this proposed consolidation upon the interests of the people of Massachusetts. I speak in this matter wholly as citizen of Mas sachusetts. I have said that had no part or lot in the arrangements for the exchange of stock. Had been con suited about 1t I should have advised the parties in interest to go about it in more open manner, I think it was a tactical mistake in not having so proceeded. But the real question is, after all, whether this consolidation is or Is not for the benefit of the peo- pie. believe that the consensus on the part of the business men general fly throughout the State would be well nigh unanimous in its favor"
 The light of history to which he calls attention, described in our own swords. lis the impossibility of returning to the simpler days of former genera ton in organizing corporations and the inevitableness of our testing the newer and more strenuous days which have overtaken us. Whatever power there is in the proposed merger is probably for good since it is suggested by practical needs as created by the business of transportation and not by a dreamer. It Is well that every State in the Union has among it's citizens men of the ability and candor of Mir. Whitney. They are the fool killers for the generation which possesses them.

The Graduation Essay.

A seminary graduate
 Was Miss Samantha Brown, The wisest, wlttiest, prettlest girl In all our lovely town; Her graduation essay was The finest ever read In east, or west, or north or south, Or anywhere, 'tis said. Her dress was white pekay, en train, And built with fairy skill, Twas tucked and plaited, gored and
 trimmed
 With many founce and frill; The overdress was baby blue Enwrought with laees fine Oh, all the women folks declared The essay was divine! The basque was out Partisan style, With pipings all of silk, The corsage was besplashed with bars Of velvet pale as milk; The waist was made decollete And showed comedy form; The essay-doubt you what we say, Took all the men by storm.

THE WHEELING HIGH sonoo1.

The Board of Education of Wheeling, West Virginia, has question raised for it by the prevalent prosperity which has struck Wheeling in an un- common way. After spending money to build and maintain high school, the beard finds that only one boy and ten girls were graduated this year, the re- mainder of those that began the course, about 250 in number, having been talk en cut of school, or having left on their own motion, to go to work in the mills and the shops of the city. Wheeling is growing, and the establishment of new industries has brought a great demand fo~ labor, so that even the children are wanted for industrial purposes. The school board is said to be considering whether it is worth while 10 maintain an elaborate high school under such conditions.
 It Is not at all probable that the

ORGANIZATION SPREADING.

As charity is ''organized" in these days, it is not surprising that the re- cipients of charity are getting the no- ton that it will be profitable for them to organize. The movement has begun in Marseilles, France The beggars and tranps of that place held mass meet ing, formed local syndicate, adopted a set of resolutions and advocated the organization of a national union or fed eration of their craft. The blind, the lame, the deaf, the dumb and the other defective joined hands for the protec- tion of their common interests. They declared themselves earnest friends of private prosperity. No communism for them-generosity in giving is enough. They were for order and freedom, for republication and national integrity. They were opposed to the admission of foreign beggars and to excessive com petition, and in favor of combination and regulation.
 Why not? The Beggars' union may
