should be frowned down. The Conference
will be very important religious body.
1t meets only once in four years. 1t will
be here for some time. 1t should have q
decent place to stay in.-We congratulate
Lieutenant-Governor Hickenlooper on his
release this week from his arduous
and protracted legislative duties.
Colonel Carson Is inexperienced in
the police business. Somebody ought to
show him a gambler or the keeper of a
dive" Then, in the language of man
who might have been Chief of Police but
wouldn't" he would "know exactly what
to do.-General Robinson seems deter

views with Professors Jacobsohn and Singer
will convince even the most unreasonable
that Mr.. Theodore Thomas does not
treat members of his orchestra in the most
refined, polite and courteous fashion, and
that though he may be great leader, he
is not gifted with that suavity and sweet
ness of manner which generally stamp the
true gentleman. If the interviews with
Messrs. Jacobsohn and Singer are not con-
vincing, we refer doubling ones to Profes
sors Hartgen, Baetens, Bloom, FlechteI
and Others OF the Orchestra and College.
The Gazette says, of the royal Burmese
lunatic and butcher: He assembled the
throne nearly two years ago. His father
died, and the wise men of the kingdom
gave him the preference over several other
heirs, because he had been well educated,
and was apparently very intelligent. They
hoped he would prove a reformer. Their
disappointment must have been great
when he put them all in degrading impris-
onment, chose in their stead a number of
reckless young men, and entered upon a
career of profigacy and cruelty. He MUIR
dered about eighty of his relatives, his
brothers, their wives, and his fathers con-
cubines. Not more than one of the royal
family escaped. His financial policy was
reckless, for he forced all his
people to patronize the lotteries
! which he established, until the natural
taste for gambling has been kindled into
fever. His latest atrocities, the burying of
multitudes alive show that he is as super
stitious as bloodthirsty. horrible sac
| rifice of 700 human beings at Mandalay to
stay the disease of the gin drinking,
leprosy stricken King, appears to be con-
firmed. The victims were buried alive, not
burned, as previously reported. Cviliza-
ton, if there happens to be any in that
part.of the world, should rise up and sit
down on this savage monarch.-Our ad-
vices are that early fruits have not been
destroyed by the heavy frosts of the past
few nights. The dryness OF the atmos-
phere and the winds have saved large
part OF the buds. The chances for the
peach crop generally appear to be good
The hazing brutality is another thing. A ro-
bust manhool on the part of the faculty of
any college could put this down. 1t Is en-
couraged by an effeminate, feeble-minded,
sickly sentimental treatment Boys who
have not reached the age of conscience or
manly feeling do these acts of brutality on
the younger, which are of the same char
acter as that torture of animals which boys
delight in, and then are treated with dis
tinguished consideration. They are plead
ed with as young gentlemen. A sound
whipping would end all this fooling, and
this corporal punishment is the only one
that BELTS acts of corporal brutality. The
well-fogged hazer would be hero no more
nor would any one haze with this retribu-
ton over him. A stout porter, frame to
make spread eagle of the hazing cub and
lashes well laid on. would in one season
extinguish this brutality in any college in
the land. 1t exists in the face Of the feeble
efforts made to suppress il, because the
faculty deal with it as il they were old
grannies and not men.

The Freie Presse says: The caucus of the
