Haven, where the Fire Department is
demoralized bv politics—the Fire De-
partment, whose welfare is of more in-
terest to each one of us than all the for-
eign colonies which we can gather in;
other political impossibilities, like assur-
ing suffrage to the negro, or establish-
ing sound money. Americans are re-
stricted by the laws of human nature,
like anyone else.
Professor Sumner closed’ with an
analysis of the purposes of the founders
of our government, the conditions
which they considered necessary for its
existence, their hopes and their ideals,
and asked if we were ready to throw
away all that had been realized and to
make further reaiization of these hopes
impossible by deliberately choosing,
not the way of the American Republic,
but the way of imperialistic Spain.

CORNELL DECLINES.
Will Not Enter Race at New London
on June 29.
As the WEEKLY goes to press it has
been learned that Cornell under date
of Dec 8, 18098, declined the warm in-
vitation of Harvard to come into her
race with Yale at New London on June
29. The conference between the repre-
sentatives of Yale and Harvard held in
Boston on Monday, Jan. 16, was to de-
cide upon a plan of procedure, and
resulted in a letter being sent to Cor-
nell, signed by Captain Higginson of
Harvard, in which, though regret at
Cornell’s decision was expressed, a firm
stand was taken for New London.
The correspondence, coming so late,
cannot be printed till the next issue.
