GENERAL SCHoFIELD in his report as
commander of West Point discusses the
Whitaker outrage quite fully. He says
quite directly that the mutilation of
Whitaker was done by himself and crit
clses the policy of appointing negroes rs
cadets. They are unable to take rank
with the white students who have all the
advantages of inherited wisdom and ex-
perience. Social intercourse at West
Point should not be enforced by law any
more than ii should anywhere else. The
same prejudices that exists everywhere
against the negro are in force at West
Point and as the law cannot enforce the
recognition of the negro in social circles
outside of West Point. it should not at
tempt it in the military academy. The
negro is too fresh from groveling posi-
ton, too low IN the scale OF intelligence,
morality aud social culture to be every
where recognized as the equal of white
men who have had all these advantages.
Time alone can bring the races into clos
er sympathy. The law cannot extinguish
preiudices. 1t was unwise TO raise the
the black race to the same plane of equal
ity with the white SO suddenly. 1t was
a cruelty to the black man to make him
compete with those who were bis masters
both in social conditions aud in intelh-
gence. The discussion of this question
Is frank and able, and viii awaken
great deal of comment.

ONE of the most interesting papers
published in the state is the Sunday Tel
egraph. Its soldiers sketches make it
welcome visitor to everyone who wore
the blue. 1t revives the memories of
those old times and comrades hold con-
verse through its columns. Many q SOL
der has learned the whereabouts of some
one in whom he took All interest, and of
whom he had not heard for years,
through the columns of the Telegraph.
And then there are SO many incidents and
anecdotes chat the "boys" seem to live
these times over again, stripped of their
danger.
Another very valuable feature of the
Telegraph is the sketches given Of the
we'll known men of the state. The edi-
tors of the Telegraph, whether through
research or through personal acquain-
lance with the early history of our .ead-
| ing men, are enabled to give their read
ers facts of absorbing interest. The
same is true of certain political and his
| torical events, connected with the past of
| the state. There are so many little de-
tails which could only be given through
the most intimate acquaintance, that they
| increase ones interest Ill the whole
| Every Wisconsin man should take The
| Telegraph.

TIE doings of the Land League are
receiving great deal of attention in this
country. The Wisconsin Journal of Ed
ucation evidently seeks to convey the
impression that the League is sort of
Ku Klu1 Khan whose object is murder.
The Journal is too partisan in national
and political matters.
The League is simply trying to secure
the rights of the Irish people by legiti-
mate means. 1t tries by, educating the
people, to prevent them from bidding for
land from which tenants have been evict-
Ell by land lords who increased the rent
because of the improvements made by
tenants. Lit is trying to make some
system of reform in the tenure by which
tenants hold land, a necessity to the land
lord as well as to the tenant. 1t is labor
ing to take the supreme power which
landlords now have over their tenants
out of their hands and establish a just
system between them. The House OF
Lords reiecteda bill designed TO improve
the condition of the Irish people. The
Justice of the bill none could question,
and the necessity for it was shown in the
starving condition of the people. The
hostility of the government to the lead
egs of the Land League, is largely owing
to the influence of the Beaconsfield party.
Still it is highly probable that the League
will force the adoption of some such
measure for the relief of Irish tenants as
wasrejected lately by the House of Lords.
Thus the League will have accomplished
its object peaceably.

HOW SHALL THEY VOTE.

The advice given by democratic papers
that the democratic members OF the state
legislature should join with the republi-
cans in the support of the caucus nonl-
nee for e. S. senator, is unwlse. The
men most prominently mentioned for
this position, have no record which
would entitle them to the support of any
nan whose party affiliations viii yield to
the consciousness of merit in a candidate.
AS between Sawyer and Reyes democrats
have no choice. They are both extreme
partisians, and owe their prominence to
their superior ability In political in
trigue. Neither could secure the posi-
ton as tribute of respect from the
people or as an acknowledgment of serv-
ices done the public. Their strength
comes from party services, opportunities
and sharp political management. Mel
ther can lay claims to any consideration
higher than his answering allegiance to
the party from which he seeks favors, ara
that he secured the election of members
of the legislature favorable to his pre-
tensions. Can democrat vote for either
on such grounds as these A man OF
marked ability, such as Matt Carpenter,
does the state credit in tie United States
senate. and citizen of Wisconsin with
out regard to party predictions may be
proud of such representation. But would
this be true of the partisan Reyes or the
ilhterate Sawyer? On what grounds
could democrat justify his support of
Keyes7 When has he shown himself
broad enough to rise above the narrowest
partisanship2 What public act has he
done which had not for its end and object
the advancement of party interests Ii

the representative of the republican ma

is not entitled TO anything beyond what
can be scraped together by party dill
! gence. Democrats should not be chained
to the chariot Of this conqueror III party
warfare.
! What commendable quality has Saw
yer which would attract democratic sup
/ porte Has be been so liberal in party
| matters that democrats will not stuItify
Themselves III fockiag to his support
Is his ability so marked that it pushes
from view the party whose success claims
all the attention which he gives to affairs
of public naturel Intellectually Saw
yer is too small man to evake any en-
tnusiasm. His election to the senate Is
simply recognition of wealth and polit-
| ical cunning. Are democrats acting con-
sistently with that independence made
possible by their numerical weakness, IN
accepting the position of tail to the
kite of Philetus Sawyer?
If any considerable number of the re-
publican Legislators should feel inclined
to consider merit rather than party serv
ice, the democratic members would be
doing the state service acting III truly
independent manner and rejecting cred
it on the party they represent by uniting
with such as are opposed to Reyes and
SAWYER in the interest of some candidate
who would be representative of the
state and not of party. In any event
the democratic members should by thei
votes enter protest against the election
of such men az Reyes and Sawyer.
