THERE is one feature in connection
with the Whitaker affair at West
Point which has struck us very un-
pleasantly. All the officers were ready
to assume in the outsets that Whit
taker was his own victim, so for as
any injury upon his person had been
perpetrated at all. In the incipiency
of the investigation they did practic-
ally assume this, and, hence, treated
him rather as a suspected and accus-
ed than as an outraged person, invent
ing motives for the act on his part,
and endeavoring to trace the whole
thing home to him, as sheer pretense
The theory seemed to be that, because
Whitaker was a ''nigger," he was
attempting to palm off sham, and
and that the prime business of the
investigation was to detect and expose
this sham. The readiness of the Off
GERS at West Point, including Gener-
al Schofeld, to adopt the theory of
fraud on his part, and thus prejudge
the case before the facts were fully
disclosed, indicates temper of mind
toward the colored cadet alike dis
creditable to them and offensive to the
moral sentiments of the nation. The
people will Judge of the case according
to the facts, as they shall finally be
made to appear; yet the officers in
charge of the young cadets at West
Point. whether white or black, may as
we'll understand that public sentiment
in this country will crush and stamp
into the dust any attempted or toler-
ated ostracism in that institution on
account of color. The fact that Whit
taker is colored cadet does not dis
credit his story in the slightest degree;
and the strong presumption from the
investigation thus far made is that he
has told the truth, and suffered an
abominabie outrage at the hands Of
others. If it shall turn out to be the
fact, then no pains should be spared
to detect the guilty parties and pun
ish them with the utmost severity of
law. If colored cadet cannot live
peaceably and be decently treated at
West Point, then let West Point be
abolished, or, in the language Of
Senator Hoar, be ground into pow
der N. Y. Independant.

The troubles caused by whisky are
not confined to the drinking Of it,
though to that alone the world is be-
lieyed to owe three-fourths Of it's sin,
misery and degradation. The troubles
begin with the manufacture Of the
vile stuff AS the public records dis
close the numbers and doingS of the
illicit distillers, 1t becomes evident
that large proportion of the liquor
made in this country is literally con-
ceived in iniquity. 1t has been long
known in general way, through the
reports in the newspapers, that our
government was in a contest with
illicit distillers. The celebrated
whisky cases" in st. Louis, Chicago
and elsewhere during Gen. Grants
second administration, and the sue
cess of the prominent breakers,
who were prominent politicians as
well, in securing Executive pardon
for their crimes, called public atten-
ton to the subject for the time being.
Only a vague notion obtained, how

ditflation was carried on. the number

columbus Sunday Herald

WITH all due respect for the Cleve-
land Herald, we would like to ask it
if there are no Blaine men in Cleve-
land upon whom it can expend its
gibing and sneerlng wrath. We can
manage those in Columbus very well
ourselves. And we wish to tell the
Cleveland Herald, right here, that, so
far as we know, Gen. Beatty has not
forfeited the goodwill, certainly not
the respect, of a single Republican of
this city. A large and influential por-
ton of the party, including some of it's
best workers in this city, were Blaine
men. On a test of strength the
friends of the great Secretary of the
Treasury outnumbered those of the
brilliant leader Of Maine. Neither
side at all doubted the Republlcanism
of the other Each side did its best.
TIE friends Of Sherman won. That's
all there is of it; and sneering, scold-
ing, reproaching and bullying are
now utterly uncalled for, and in Co.
lumbus, we are glad to say, are rarely
or never heard. So let us alone, good
Cleveland Herald, and keep your own
end of the line all right for Sherman.

BOYS SMOKING.
Its Effect Upon Them as Ascertained by
Leading Physicians.

. When boys are advised not to smoke
on hygienic grounds, they laugh at
the advice, and speak of its givers as
old fogies But careful experiments,
lately made by physician Of repute,
prove that the practice is very iniu-
rious. He took for his purpose thirty
eight boys, from nine to fifteen, who
had been in the habit of smoking,
and examined them closely. In
twenty-seven he found obvious hurt
full effects; twenty-five having various
disorders of the circulation and diges-
ton, palpitation of the heart, and
more or less craving for strong drink;
twelve Of the boys were frequently
troubled with bleeding at the nose;
ten had disturbed sleep: twelve had
slight liberation of the mucous mem-
brane Of the mouth, which disap-
peared after discrimination Of to-
bacco for ten or twelve days. The
physician treated them all for weak
ness and nervousness, though with
little avail, until they had relinquished
smoking, when health and strength
were speedily restored. Even if it be
granted that smoking is not harmful
to adults, there is no doubt Of it's
harmfulness to the young. DR.. Rank
ing, DR.. Richardson, and others, who
have made special study of the sub
ject, all agree in declaring that it
causes in them impairment of growth,
premature virillity, and physical deg
radiation. One of the worst effects is
the provocation of an appetite for
liquor, which, indeed, is not confined
to the young, but which grown per-
sons are better able to manage. Where
boys drink to excess, they are almost
invariably smokers, and it is very rare
to find man over fond of spirits who
is not addicted to tobacco. Men who
want to give up drinking usually have
to give up smoking at the same time;
for they say that cigar OF a pipe
generally excites desire for liquor
very hard to control.

of men engaged therein, and the
character of their operations.
Secretary Sherman has furnished
Congress with news, therefore, in a
volume on the ''moonshiners." 1t is
as interesting as novel, while its
facts, indeed, will be novel to most
readers. Within four years, for
instance, from July, 1876, to Febru-
ary, 1880, the Treasury Department
seized 3,043 stills, and 6, ,153 persons in
connection Herewith. The lawless-
ness of the men composing the body
of 'moonshiners" is shown with toll
cradle plainness in the statement that
to smash these stills snd arrest their
occupants cost the lives of twenty-five
men, and the wounding Of forty-nine
others who were in the government
service. While the ''moonshiners,n
who get their name from the practice
of carrying on their business chiefly
at night, are scattered about in var
ious sections of nine States, it is in
the South and Southwest that they
flourish most. In the mountains Of
Kentucky and Virginia and in Mis-
sour they are specially numerous and
reckless, and have carried ON war
fare with the revenue agents which re-
calls the brigand operations Of Spain
or Italy. In many places the people
generally took sides with the law-break-
ers, thereby getting cheap whisky
for themselves, and giving the officers
much additional trouble where they
had plenty Of it already. There is a
dash and vivacity about such busi-
ness which takes the Secretary's vol
ume outside the line Of the usual dull
report, and lifts it into the field of
romance. The prospect Of breaking
up the business and gangs Of the
'moonshiners" is considered encour-
aging, and Secretary Sherman leaves
for his successor in the Department a
good example of progress in that
direction.
