To the Editor of the Press: 40
At old Bowdoin the students are persistent
in Cutting the military drill, and the Faculty
are equally persistent in refusing to excuse any
without doctors certificate of physical inabil-
ity The consequence is that the doctors office
is thronged with applicants for certificate.
Strong young men who, apparently enjoy the
best of health are sometimes found to have
some infirmity that will excuse them from drill.
The Faculty evidently think that something
should be done to bring out to drill those who
are unfortunate ~ enough to fail of procuring
certificate, and yet "cut" regularly. They
have accordingly presented one senior who was
noted for his "cutting" propensities, with a let
ter of dismissal from college, although he was
within two weeks of the end Of his course
The Bowdoin Cadets, both infantry and ar

and the general opinion is that Bowdoin will
send a much stronger crew to Springfield this
year than last. Friends of the college are in

penses. ~

Democratic organ indicates desire to give

1t is very certain that thousands of Republic
cans would leave their party because of their
disgust for the salary grab leaders. We think
we see the course of reasoning that leads the
Adoocate to this conclusion. 1t is this: OF
"a Democrats in the House that voted on the
salary steal question, 40 or 58.3 per cent. vot-
ed for the s'grab," and IS, or Alt per cent.
against it; of 11S Republicans voting there
on, 80, or 53.1 per cent. voted against the
steal, and SO, or 1850 per cent. voted for it.
In view of this the Democrats of the House
are responsible for the increase of salary, and
~. ne RANK and file of the party will not follow
-sS IS s.ao Young leaders, while only large mi
bers' only thousands of the rank and file win

is very good; but experien,s tne reasoning

slider is grieved to learn from an examination
of the seventy-five names, that they are in
vncible in party caucus. 1t is to be regret

The insanity dodge in murder cases has
lost its charm in Michigan, because the Leg
islature has provided that whenever any per-
son on trial for murder, arson, assault with
intent to kill, etc., shall set up insanity as a
defense, i, shall be the duty of the jury to
find specially whether the defendant was or
was not insane and in case of acquittal on
that ground, shall commit him to the prison

the chair. The convention was then addressed
b, Rev. J. w. Porter of Bath, upon a "Model
Superintendent" The speaker enumerated the

The President, Mr.. Butler, then presented
to the audience the subject of "How to secure
more efficient teachers"
Prof. Sherwin next gave his views on "What
to sing, and how to sing" Select powerful
instrument to help the singers; do not allow
long intervals; sing hymns of devotion, don't
serve baby food to grown up people. Don't try
and make the scholars believe they are all
lambs or angels. Don't sing to the Sunday
School, sing to God.

half hour of the meeting was spent in devo-

made by various persons, the time OF each

BILL.-In his veto message Gov. Dix says be

that the people may pass upon the question

ARKANSAS PoLITIcs.-A Washington special
says that the Attorney Generals assistants are
busy looking up Arkansas affairs. The difficult

little beyond tho general information that Sem
ator Clayton is determined that Gov. Baxter
shall not occnpy the gubernatorial chair, and
that Gov. Baxter is determined he will. From
a conversation with various officials this morn
ing am left to the inference that the admins.
tration will not interfere, and as Arkansas pol
iticians are not given to shedding their own
blood, rather depending on their relations for
that sort of effusion, and as the relations in
this case are unwilling, it is believed that diff
culties will be settled without loss of life.
