The ornlse of the euzaseutus.

This is the tale that was told to me By a battered and tattered son of the To me and my messmate. silas Green, When I was a guileless young marine. 'eTwas the good ship Guyascutus, with the wind a-lee and the capstan

 To catch the summers breeze, Says Capt Porgee, on the deck TO his mate in the miEzen hatch, While the bosun bold in the for'ard
 hold
 Was winding his larboard watch: " Oh, how does our good ship head How heads our gallant craftr Oh, she heads to the east nor-west b And the pinnacle lies abaft.' !" Oh. bo'sun, down in the for'ard hold, What water d ye find?' Four foot an half by the royal gafr-- An rather more behind ' Come, sailors, collar your marlin

 And each belaying pin. Quick, stir your stumps and man the

wHY NOT IN EEW HAVEN

Some of the cities of the plain Kansas City for example---are re- sentlng the big bluff of Chicago that Chicago is the, only place in the world fit to hold national political convention in, And the Washington Post is resenting both the blum of Chi cago and the bluff of Kansas City Just listen to the Post: Neither Chica- go nor Kansas City should take the great national conventions and turn them into advertising shows for the sake of booming town lot sales and celebrating it's beastly summer clim- ate. The recent election shows very clearly where the next battle ground will be It will be in New York, and in New Jersey, and in Ohio, and else- where in the east. Let the conven- tions be held where the bulk of the delegates live, and where the fight is, and where the candidates live. The west, whether grotesquely masked in bogus culture, like Chicago, or red and raw, like Kansas City, has no right to consider itself paramount in this matter. Let the conventions be held in Washington, if agreeable; If 1 not--and the Post is not bowling it. self black in the face for Washington if not let them be held in Philadel- phia, Baltimore, Pittsburg, Boston, New York, Cleveland, Columbus, Gin cinnati, Buffalo, or Indianapolis. Lei common sense run the big parties instead of pork-packing and town-lot boomers Both conventions must face big situation, and they ought to face It where it exists,
 Without resenting the bluff of Chi cago, Kansas City or Washington, we again call attention to the conspieu' ous merits of New Haven as a gooC Iplace to hold national political conven ltions in, or any other conventions.

question they ought to have the en- couragement and good will of every law-abiding, respecting dealer in the State.
 In other words, as between the pol icy set forth courageously by Mir. Me Carthy and that vaguely mentioned by the trade journal, there is but one choice and that the former. He would lead his contemporaries along rational lines and by improving the conduct of the business increase the enforcement of the law. He realizes that the seat of the movement Is deeper than can be reached by better organization of the business. and the supporters of the temperance movement realize that so long as the liquor dealers refuse to in- augurate reforms themselves their task is made comparatively easy. The whole thing goes back to a movement which has been forming in mems minds intuitively for full generation and I is likely not to terminate until a ra- tional view of the business has been
 accepted by both parties to the con-
 tract As we have already intimated,
 the law-abiding liquor dealer will be
 found to count much in this solution
 if he enters into the conference in a
 suitable frame of mind. His interest is large one.

THE ROUNDER,

The towns of Connecticut give num- erous examples of the genus rounder and yet the General Assembly seems never to have heard of him. He gets drunk, is sent to jail, serves out his time and then renews his habits and repeats his experience.
 There is one of these cases now boarding with Sheriff Hugo on Whal- ley avenue. The fact that he has some sort of a literary talent makes him more of a figure than he would other wise be. He vacillates between the county jail and the most hospitable gin mill, spending most of his time in the former place. He is Of course not self supporting. He is load on the honest worker and yet the government does nothing to remedy the evil of which he is the personifcation. It is very hard to spell the word civilization without smile so long as society tolerates the condition he represents.
 The needed legislation to control the rounder and make him contribute what he can to society has been rec commended time and time again to the Connecticut General Assembly, but without avail. The tragedy continues to repeat itself and the world becomes accustomed to the offender and to his offense. It is not pretty reflection up on Connecticut, but it has to be made

 From earliest history the rat has been a camp follower in the train of civilization and has frequently found a place in legends like those in which Bishop Hatto and the Pied Piper of Hamalin were the central figures. The invarfable object of human detestation, 1t has been accepted as an inevitable evil a part of the discipline of life, The loss of property due to the depreda- tions of this marauder has been enough even during few hundred years, to fill the granaries of the world, and 1t is as a property destroy

 But as a rank Purveyor of disease its objectionableness is greatly intensified. The world is taking fresh cognizanee of its loathsomeness and danger and calling upon science for remedy, Last year the plague in India carried off g. l boo. 900 persons, and the secretary of State for that country has recently stated that unless rat destruction is carried out with the utmost energy il | is useless to attempt the control oi | the devastating disease.

l FASHION NOTE.

Men not being of much account any, way, there is usually nothing interest ing in what they wear, and the infre- quent announcements of what they are going to wear don't stir anybody's blood in any such way as the quarter ly, or monthly, or weekly announce ments of what women are going to wear stir the blood of the women who wear and the blood of the men who enjoy the privilege of paying for the bewildering and beautiful changes in the fashions. But it is mildly interest," ing to read that long-legged boots for men are coming in again. Fifty and more years ago long legged boots were the thing and some of them were pretty fine. They would last long time when worn reasonably, and the long tops would last as long as it was desirable to have anything of the wearing kind last They needed greas- ing occasionally, and they needed the helpful bootjack daily, unless some ac- commodating human being would back up to aid in getting them off 1 Some wore them with their trousers tucked into the tops more or less lcarefully, and the boys who were aim l ing to be men were pretty careful and pretty proud about the tucking in.
 Some of the old-timers have never deserted the long-legged boots, and they will be pleased to see their 1udg- ment and preference recognized and initiated at this late day. Perhaps there win be other changes in boot fashions It may be that the boy of the present time will soon be favored with the copper-boed boots that used to be so magniflcently royal in appearance, with the copper at the toes and the red leather at the top, and so service able, especially in sliding down hin "belly-bunt." In those days if a boy was promised in the Summer that he could have pair of those copper-toed boots at Christmas If he would be good in the meantime he had real incentive to be good, and he also had occasion to realize that the boy who honored his father and mother by being good from the Fourth of July until Christmas had idays that were truly long in the land
 It is to be hoped that the new long, llegged boots for men wont be quite as ltight and squeaky as the old long. legged boots for men used to be, es.
 pecially the Sunday kind. When it is
 remembered how the Christian mar,

(From the Denver RepubIlcahJ
 The whole West possesses all the factors of business prosperity. It has participated in no reckless speculation. It has built up no great superstrueture of credit which might come tumbling down about it's ears at any moment. It is standing on the ground, on the solid ground of production beyond its own needs Thus it occupies the place of a creditor, and it is the East and not tho.
