As a hint to Mr.. Bryan for March 4
the Brooklyn Eagle recalls the fact
that Stephen A. Douglas held Lin
coins hat at Old Abe's first inaugural.
But at the national polls in 1850 Doug
las had proved to be an ally rather
than an opponent Of Lincoln. He split
the Democratic popular vote, but gain
ed only twelve electoral votes. Doug
las Democratic rival, John O. Breck-
inridge, received seventy-two votes in
the electoral college, standing the Sec
ond highest, although his popular vote
was fewer by 100000 than. that cast
for the Little Giant" 4

A Double Barreled Torpedo.

aL- u A1UA
One of our naval commanders has
invented a torpedo which may do
more mischief to an enemy's battle
ship than one OF those 'all big gun
Dreadnoughts we are launching. This
new torpedo shoots twice, SO to speak
that is, 1t makes two holes instead
Of one in the target. Theoretical
" the, old torpedo would rip a hole
In the side of a warship and let In wa
ter enough to sink her. AS a rule,
however, torpedoed ships have kept
afloat until the repair shop made them
as good as ever.
The, shell Of a big gun will do more
damage to a warship than any torpe-
do. provided 1t explodes inside the
vessel, say in the engine o or mag
azine. But a shell may pass through
a vessel, leaving only two small holes
and a few wrecked things in Its wake.
The torpedo which becomes the ex-
elusive property Of the United States
because an ofieeE ln service devised it,
viii smash a big hole In the armor
where it strikes, and at the same time
project shell carrying a fuse timed
to explode it at any desired distance
inside. Unfortunately this govern
ment cannot monopolize the genius Of
the world. and II a comes to us the
enemy may have some contrivance
that will sink a b%attleship as effectual-
" as double acting torpedo.

The Year,s Happenings Abroad.

The Years Happenings Abroad.
In the old world the pessimist has
been forced to swallow disappoint-
mlent throughout 1908. England was
ut one time believed to be facing an
irruption Of socialism, but the minis
try s~idestepped the crisis by an old
age pension. In Persia the year open
ed with a clash between the shah and
parliament. After some Shooting up
on both sides the masses sustained
the shah, who promised to be good.
What appeared to be a formidable
revolution in Portugal led to the as
sassination of the king and crown
prince in February, but an appeal to
the people found the nation jealous in
support Of the old regime. \ real re-
bellion placed the pretcnder. Mulai
Hafd, on the throne Of Morocco. Hav.;
ing gained his prestige as a fanatic
and leader of fanatics, II was supposed
that the presence of European police
must be ended or a ""holy war" for the
determination of foreigners would en-
sue. But the usurping ruler promptly
guaranteed all the rights claimed by
outsiders.
When the Turkish constitution Of
1876 was restored in July the act was
believed to be a concession to reform
ers which would spur them to four
Their aggression. The most Important
result was the loss to Turkey Of the
vassal Balkan states Of Bulgaria and
Roumelia and the nominally Turkish
provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Whether Turkey will now be decent
and the Balkans quiet are questions
yet to be answered. Taking the world
over, there have been many, situations
which would have provoked war had
the SO called fighting nations been
ready for a scrap. That collision was
avoided augurs well for peace, at least
until some power feels strong enough
to thrash one Of its size.

The Eloctora1 College.

Strictly speaking. there IS no such.
thing as an electoral college as the
term Is ordinarily accepted. Each
state has its own electoral college and
fixes its own motie of appointing Its
members, the national congress deter
mining when they shall be chosen and
the date when they shall cast their
votes. At present there is no casting
Of votes in the usual sense, for that
function has been performed by the
national conventions which nominated
the candidates for president and vice
president.
The members Of the electoral college
are chosen by popular vote, and their
number In each state is equal to the
number of representatives sent by the
state to congress. They are required
to meet on the same day at the several
state capitols and vote by ballot. They
are not expected to vote as a unit nor
to meet for the purpose of declaring
a result already decided by others.
In point of fact, they do vote as a
unit, and for this reason the present
system is sometimes spoken Of as
cumbrous and useless. The national
convention names its. party's choice.
and the electors are nominated and
elected to record that voice in the way
required by the highest law Of the
land.
Contingencies may arise when the
individual status or attitude Of an
elector would be important. The state
certi6cs the electoral college, deter
mining all controversies and contests
regarding the appointment of its own
presidential electors. If any state Is
unable to settle a dispute congress has
the decision in its hands. arbitrarily II
1t chooses. sGe tS
The validity of any states certif-
cate Of its own electoral vote has new
er been seriously questioned. In 1857
electoral college, having five votes,
failed to meet on the day appointed,
but as the vote was not enough to de-
eide the election the contest over this
incident came to nothing. 1t has been
decided that the disqualification of ar
elector at the time of.the popular cleo
ton does not d~isqualify his vote in
the college, since the fact of his cleo
ton registers the peoples will as to
the national candidates. This decision
in 1877 gave the presidency to Hayes
by a majority of one. So long as one
candidate has a substantial majority
In the college the weaknesses of the
system are not likely to lead to grave
complications. In a strange way the
vote of the state college records the
will Of the majority Of the voters in
the state, and, in spite of defects that
might prove serious, public opinion APP
pears to sustain the electoral college
as the best method for choosing tho
chief executive Of the nation.

The Indian Athlete.

Uneasy lies the head that wears q
wreath won on the athletic field. There
Is no feat possible for any man that
some other man will not risk his life
to excel. Hayes won the Olympic
Marathon by a narrow margin, and
the next best man that day. Dorando,
outran him on another trial. But Do
.rando had to yield a few days later. to
Longboat, an Indian runner who owes
the very best that il in him to the
game. The Indian went into the inter
national Marathon last summer with a
record that called for better fortune
than his pitiful collapse in the TWEEN
tieth mile.
Longboat comes Of a &c noted for
swift and hardy footmen. TO run
like an Indian" was enough to make
a white athlete famous In the early
American settlements. The trick was
not altogether a matter of high speed,
but of covering long distances across
country and coming out as fresh as
Longboat showed himself to be from
his twenty-sixth mile at Madison
Square Garden, when his competitor
lay in a collapse. The whites long ago
set themselves up as schoolmasters for

flied. Perhaps his time has come to
teach the overcivilized whites some
things which. after all, ennobled his
savage simple life.

But, though Palma died a political

baked by shrewder men, who were as

 Arrangements have been made to send carriag ges tomorrow for all the old folks who wish to go to the Meth odist rally, and who are not able to get there any other way. Very soon after the town voted the $2, 900 extra which the School Board asked for to complete the addition to the center school, a contract for the work was made with the S. W.

 Frederick Roberts and family have removed to Bridgeport.
 Elliott w. Peck is the announced architect for the new factory to be built on Connecticut avenue by Weld lich Brothers.
 Two or three young people in town are suffering from ivy and sumac poisoning. It would be a good thing if the town authorities would order the extermination of ivy vines-they are altogether too numerous.
 Little local items of interest include the invention of a machine for print ing names on tape; a harvest whist which is to be given on the 26th inst. by the Red Men; a large pumpkin on exhibition in the bake shop window purchased at the Grange food sale; a surprise party given to MT. and Mrs. James Sanford at Beaver Dam; the frightful long list of unpaid taxes in the annual town report; the dance at Red Mems hall next Thursday even- ing; MT. and Mrs. w.
