The Rochester Union thinks it detects "a deep

temporaries to make a present OF Dorsey to the
Democrats" II is hardly that There is q deep
seate desire that Dorsey should go where he be-
longs and that lie should relieve the Republican
party of all responsibility for his acts. fsirer
statement of he case would be that Mr. Dorsey was
Republican tor what he could make out of il, until
he was found out. Having been found out and
prosecuted by Republican officials under Repub-
can Administration and his opportunities for proht
IN that direction having come to an end. he has de-
termiLed to take himself to new market. tie is
accordingly cndeavOrlng TO make himself useful TO
the Democrats by making confession of his own
rascalities and charging the Republicans with the
responsibility. He has made himself a present TO
the Democrats and TO a dIslnteresied observer II

The World newspaper defines its position as

The railroad conductor In Pennsylvania who put
"A boy oil an excursion tram because he bad no
ticket while tho train WAS going thirty miles an
hour and caused his ant death. ought TO have

Perhaps ono monument would do for him and Police

fit them both.
A new method of catching fish called jug fish
ing has been invented in the South. corked jug
is attached TO the fishing lIne both are then cast
into the water and the fun is supposed to begin
when the fish bite and cause the jug TO bob up ana
down. IL the South thinks 1t has done IN
inyenting this kind of amusement, 1t is much mis-
taken Up here in the North hundreds oil men go
ing fishing" every day. But the method is slightly
different from that of the South. The fisherman
and not the line, is attached to the jug; and the

1t is not surprising to find that some of tho naval
cadets who are being tried for hazlng were
the victims Of those who tried last for this
offence This is in strict accordance with all the
paradoxes of human nature. 1t only remains TO
teach these young men the lesson which neither
their own painful experience the spectacle OF
the punishment of others seemed able TO convey to
them. Captain Ramsay. the superintendent as
sures them that there will be no snap Judgment"
and that they shall have all the time they need to
prepare their defence At the same time 1t isevi'

Captain Ramsay for supposed severity In his ad- |

will Justify him IN almost any severity which Will |
crush out this mean and vulgar practice OF hazng.
The indignites inflicted in this latest case may not
have been worse than usual, but they were huinii-
iating and outrageous. A hgh-splrited boy VINO
should resent them in way his tormentors would
for life would find good deal OK sym
pathy. The practice has no place among gentlemen
and officers and ought to be punished TO the e1-
tremo limit OF the regulations.
