STAR ROUTE A

The star route trial farce is all
to be acted over again at immense
cost to the public. No person Of
sense for one moment suppose that
any OF the guilty parties will ever
be punished and to give further
coles to this view, it is we'll know
tina! the government is taking no
steps looking to the production Of
additional evidence considering
that all that is needed is already
prepared, having been used on the
former trials. Mr.. Kerr, one Of
the government council is in the
city but his presence has no refer
ence to the star route cases. As
to the trial Of Senator Kellogg, it
is considered that it would be ad.
vantageous to both sides to have
the matter disposed of as soon as
possible, and at the opening of the
October court Judge Wylie will
most likely be asked to fix an ear.
ly date for the trial.
NAVAL ACADEMY HAZING.
Justly there is much iudigna.
ton felt here by the new disgrace
the Annapolis Naval School has
brought upon itself by a new ont
break of the rufianly and coward.
ly hazing Of the young cadets by
those of the upper classes. Nc
school in the world can make a
boy a gentleman when the prin
ciple or instinct is not there, but
lit can at least kick him ou'
when he becomes a BLACKBOARD
Some of the offences narrated arr
such as if committed outside of {
government school would consigr
the perpetrators to the peniten
tiary, and are such as cannot b.
iirecited in print.

The SUNDAY 1 Laws Again.

From further examination Of the enforce
ment Of the Sunday laws mentioned in yester-
days PRESS We are satisfied that City Marshal
Andrews showed no Partially The men first
arrested for keeping open grocery stores Sun
day mornings :imperfectly understood the or
ders given them, and had 10 intention OF re-
sisting the enforcement Of the law. So the
Marshal in the wise exercise Of his discretion
did not put them before the court. The men
arrested week later had been repeatedly
warned and were conlumacious SO they we're
fined.
The cases above mentioned win be likely to
provoke general discussion of the Sunday
laws. One thing Is certain; all those laws, or
none Of them, should be enforced. II the
milk-cart can make its rounds Sunday, why
cannot the grocery man deliver milk that
day? III the bake-shop is open why should not
the meat-sbop be open? II is urged and with
much FEASIBILITY, that the opening Of the
grocery stores during the eaily hours OF Sun
day morning is g benefit TO the poor who have
no refrigerators or cellars in which to keep
milk and vegetables and peat from Saturday
night. 1t is asserted that this is not only a
convenience to all Of. them, but necessity to
many, and oftentimes direct advantage to
the public health. Stronger arguments, per-
haps, may be advanced on the other side.

mention Off in the daily journals and illustrate

readers to learn that the only other organiza-
ton Of the kind in the country exists here in
Portland, at 557 Congress street, under the gen.
eral supervision of Miss Sallie Crccker. The
students of this school are about concluding
their indoor work from the living model which
they have practiced for the past three months,
and with the results Of their own labors during
the time, they have placed on exhibition at
their rooms a fine collection Of about 10
studies and sketches by leading New York ar
tists. These examples, while intended special
ly for study and comparison by the scholars Of
tho League, are interesting to any one as works
of art. and visit to the collection will be
well repaid.
The rooms will be open daily, except Tuesday
and Friday afternoons, from Q a. m. till 8 pm,
commencing to-day and continuing till Satur-
