THE HAZERS HAZED.

A Lively Rumpus at Princeton College
Freshmen Revenge Themselves on soph-
omores-A Number of Students Expelled
rPrinoeton IN. J.) Cor. New York worldl
A few DAYS ago several sophomores
here wrote fictitious invitation to
freshman, inviting him to reception.
They signed the invitation with the
name of a well-known freshman, thus
conveying the idea that the reception
was to be freshman affair. The recipi-
emit of the invitation, suspecting nothing,
responded in person, when he found
himself betrayed into company of hos
tile sophomores, who straightway pnt
him through an uumercilul hazing. The
freshmen failed to take the matter in
good part, and, gathering number of
his companions, fifteen altogether, Wis
tied two sophomores, Atterbury and
Carter, whom he believed the ringlead-
ers in the attack upon himself, and who
occupied room together. The visiting
squad found the two sophomores up,
and, expecting them, ready with loaded
pistols to repel an assault. This was
last night shortly before IL o'clock. AL
though the sophoDores were armed, the
freshmen came upon them so suddenly
that they were overpowered before they
could move to offer any resistance. The
two were seized. tied in chairs, and
shaved close to the skull by the raiders,
all of whom we're masked and uurec-
equitable When, III the estiIn .t.Un Of
the freshmen, their wrongs had been
sufficiently avenged, the invading party
retired, leaving the two sophomores
bound in their chairs. No sooner was
the door closed than Atterbury and Car
ter managed to free themselves, and
catching up their pistols fired at the re-
firing squad of freshmen through the
window. Such was their haste that they
did not even wait to throw the window
open, but sent the bullets through the
glass. AS soon as two shots had thus
been fired without effect, the sophomores
ran from the room and pursued the fresh
men, sending another volley at them.
AS they came up, the freshmen Mt once
halted, and, facing about, returned the
fire. The opposing parties at the time
were not more than fifteen feet apart.
Two shots were fired by the freshmen.
OF these one whistled close by After
bury's ears and the second struck him
in the leg, just below the groin, missing
the bone and passing clean through the
flesh. What followed is only known ID
so far as those Immediately concerned
are willing to tell The freshmen all
escaped. Atterbury was taken to his
room. His wound is not dangerous and
he is doing well.
The affair created the greatest excite
ment Princeton Inexperienced in many
a day. A meeting of the college faculty
was called and committee appointed to
inquire into the outrages. The result
was the expulsion of five freshmen and
eight sophomores, and the suspension
of about forty others.

Hard Times.

lizard Times l'' is on every lip, and
breathed from every tongue; the banks
are cursed by one and all, the aged and
the young. The merchant has to close
his doors, and throw his ledger by; such
times he vows were never seen by any
mortal eye. The shopmen quit the
counters side, for customers are few !;
the times are so very tight it makes them
all look blue. The citizen in vain es-
says TO make more than his bread a
pound of which he declares won't weigh
a pound of lead. There's not day but
some one fails-some house that goes to
smash ; and names that once stood high
on Change, are out for want of cash.
Those supposed to be millionaires, and
rich in shares and stocks, their million
heirs now disappoint, they fail and
leave no Crooks" lizard times hard
times were ever seen such times, 80
hard as these y This is the cry, from
morn till night, in which each one agrees.
A remedy-how do you think this will
do? Pull off your coat, roll up your
sleeves, and work the hard times through.

THE CRAZE.

The Silver Bill is now through
Congress, and is virtually law, for
Congress was "the Silver Craze, and
is going to make it law, whether
the President likes it or not. The
"Silver Craze is spreading like an
epidemic, and all sorts Of people are
catching it. Every one that is in
debt or difficulty, or out Of work, or
any way discontented, is likely to
catch the silver craze. They hope it
may make times better, at any rate
it cant make them any worse. The
people who did not catch the craze
were sure the passage of the bill
would bring down our bonds and send
gold up higher than kite. But it has
not done either to any great extent
On the other hand the impecuuious
individuals who have the craze so bad
as to think it will lift every body out
of debt, and require old fashions BILE
buckskin purses to be hunted up to
carry each ones share Of silver, are
likely to be more disappointed. 1t is
announced, how ever, that the minis
are to be energstically put to work
on the new coinage. The amount
provided for under the law is not to
exceed 100000 a month. nor be
less than 100000, making an ay
erage Of about $35,O00,O00 a year
What's that in a population of forty
four millions.
The new financial policy, however,
is not likely to stop with the silver
bill. The same majority in Congress
may repeal the special redemption
act. In the House the Committee on
Currency have also reported bill
for issuing greenbacks in the place Of
National Bank notes to the amount
Of $320OO0,O00. Should these mea.
sures be carried out, it will produce a
complete revolution in our financial

A NATIONAL PARTY.

the ereehback party held its first
national convention at Toledo, Ohio
on the 22d. The new party evident
" means business in earnest. 1t hal
taken for it's name the National Par
IT," The convention is claimed as q
great success. All the states were
represented but fourteen. The west
was all strongly represented but not
all the south. Pennsylvania was most
largely represented, and the Hon.
Frank Hughes Of that stats presided
The convention exhibited intense en-
thusiasm, and the prediction was con-
fdently made that the new National
Party would speedily become the sue
cessful and dominant party Of the
country. AS to this time will tell
We abbreviate the declaration OF
principles made by tho convention as
follows: It is declared to be the ex-
elusive function Of the general gov
eminent to coin and create money
and regulate its value. All bank is
sues Of money should be suppressed.
Government money, whether Of metal
or paper, shall be full legal tender
for all debts, duties and taxes, public
and individual, at its stamped value,

Congress shall provide public money
adequate to the full employment of
labor and requirements OF business III
amounts according to the population.
Government bonds shall be taxed as
other property. An income tax shall
be collected. Ten hours day for la
Dor is too much aud should be re-

ing monetary system will harmonic

and capital, secure to producers OF
wealth the results of their labor and
skill and tend to do away alike with
over.grown fortunes and extreme pow
erty. National and state bureaus Of
labor should be established for collect.
ing information Prison labor should
be done away with and importing ser.
vile labor from China should be sup
pressed. The convention made NJ
endorsement of the Silver bill, but
declared the demonstration of the
