The punishment which has overtaken GER
tain cadets at West Point who went ION "a
lark the other night and amused them
selves by tornenting and seriously abusing
"phleb" is severe; but not too severe. The
authorities there have determined to break
up hazing. Those who defed the rule were
well aware that the penalty of discovery
would be bitter. Hartigan, who is DIS
missed, is reported to be an able man who
has studied hard and won high place in
his class. He pays high price for an hour
of forbidden sport. The cadet Acuff, who
was ''devilled, was maltreated in the rough
way peculiar to West Point affairs of the
kind and the practice is one that ought to
be broken up at whatever cost. Abundant
experience proves that light punishments
are Intellectual. The example of few dis
missals in disgrace will perhaps convince
the cadets that it isn't worth while to pur-
chase amusements at such risks.

LNGERsnLL,S nREED.

We published, the other day, an eX-
tract from the address of Col. Ingersoll
at the funeral of friend, John C. Mills,
of Washington. This address was
couched in beautiful language, but be-
yond this it was nothing. 1t was like
throwing flowers into the grave, and
nothing more After all it was an emp
ty performance. There was not a
word in it to comfort or assure
the reader that there is anything
beyond what Ingersoll calls ''the cool
and delicious kiss of death" There
was nothing to satisfy the longings of
the soul for something better beyond.
There was no allusion to that faith in a
sayior which has controlled the world,
and which is the hope of the world
not word to comfort the wife and
children who stood by the grave, or to
lead them to believe there would ever
again be an existence for the husband
and father The beautiful out
meaningless words must have been
mockery to them on such an occasion.
The colonel's creed is condensed into
a sentence when he said: HE lived,
he loved, he was loved. This is enough.
The longest life contains no more. This
hlls the vase of joy" The Rochester
Democrat adds in the way OF comment,
as greater preacher than 1ngerson has
| said: "a fool also is full of words; q
man cannot tell what shall be !; and what
shall be after him, who can tell him ?''
"Let US eat drink and be merry, for
tomorrow we die" is the old, old phi
losophy of fools. Which is the better
philosophy to live by and to die by
this, or that which on Easter
morning set the joy-bells peal
ing around the world-which on
any Sabbath puts stop TO secular en-
employments and calls millions to wor.

which is in mankind that this life is moi

which have wrung around the world fol
eighteen hundred years, and which
teach that there is something better thar

after Ingersoll and his meaningless phil

SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS

A member oil the editorial staff of the
Democratic New York Sun was lately
travelling through the south, and sends
to his paper these rather remarkable
comments upon the peculiaritles of
Southern Democrats. If they had been
written by an yone else than Democrat,
or appeared in any other than Dem
ocratic paper, they would have receiv-
cd the hearty denuncistion of the Demo.
cratic press of the couptry, and the cry
about fostering sectional hate would
have been raised. The writer says:
To understand these southern people
and the motives that control their polit-
zeal thought, 1t is necessary TO say that
in the Cotton States all the men of edu-
cation and wealth are Democrats. These
men believe that all northern gentle
/ men are Republicans. have often
| heard this remark IN the south
"If lived in the north
l would be Republican. All the de-
cent men up there are Republicans.
The rank and file of the northern De
mocracy correspond to the niggers OF
the south. All intelligent men should
array themselves against Ignorance and
| dishonesty. D-n northern democrat 90

majority of the men employed in north
crn manufactures are Democrats. This

| the southern negroes. Negroes are
paid at starvation prices throughout
the cotton states. Men who have
lived upon the unpaid labor of
other men cannot, in one generation,
be educated up to the simple truth that
they who perform the manual labor of
q country are entitled To a decent living
out OF the proceeds of their work. The
southern men, without any exception
that know of, believe in low wages,
the lowest possible wages, for laborers.
Naturally the talk of Northern men,
who believe in protective tariff that
compels large wages to woEkmen in
mines, mills and furnaces, is regarded
as the insincere uttsrance of persons
seeking to advance their own political
and material prosperity. Protection Of

THE UNITERsITY ORATOR.

Atchison Champion: The Kansas Re
uieso, the State University magazine,
reaches US with severa. articles marked
calling attention to the declination on
the part of Col. IngersoI to address the
University on the ground of the star
route engagements elsewhere. We have
an idea that inviting Col. Ingersol, who
is noted only as a lawyer, politician
and for ms interminable quarrel
with the Twelve Apostles, and
who is not at all literary or "univer-
silly man." was merely piece of self as
sertion on the part OF the young gen.
tlemen who extended the Invite" They
had-a an idea that the Faculty would be
perfectly Mortified and torn up about 1t.
AID that they would wish, as Col. IN
gersoil would express it. for "the cool,
delicious kiss of death )" but as the Fac
ulty said, il effect, that they did not give
one of the Mistakes of Moses" whether
Col. Ingerson came or not, the sensation
did not produce as loud g report US was
expected. The ReUfele states that Sena-
tor Lamar has been invited to speak.
This Is good selection. Mr.. Lamar is
| q finished orator and scholar; will
know what he is talking about, and
will not wander away in the midst of
his Grafton to kick and cuff Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob. 4 report has been
started that General Chalmers has been
invited We trust this will be contra
dicted. Itwould be quite as appropri-
ate to dig up and invite Mr.. Dickens
hero, the tate mir. Bill Sykes.
The impression ID becoming quite
general among the solid, sensible
people over the state who pay the taxes
to keep up the university that The young
men who have the matter of securing an
orator in charge, are making rather a
sorry exhibition of their unfitness for
the task. They are certainly open to
the charge of attempting TO create SEN
sation, rather than to show q disposition
to secure a proper person to delIverer
their Grafton. People go to hear Inger-
soil and ID see him a good
deal as they go - circus
merely to laugh at his jokes, and his
erotesque utterances and performances.
We have doubted from the first if In
gersoll Wae the man for commence
ment orator, but we did not care much
so long assthe boys had their fun, which
was evidently what they were after when
Bob was sele:ted as the star performer.

now; and the conservative course which
business men have been pursuing has
done much TO put such result out OF
the question for the present. Unless the

they will, catastrophe is on the way, but
the situation Is by no means ripe for a

contrary. The mere statement that so
much money was paid for fuel for the
