Isbeleve that that incident carried it through the
crisis"
Wost Point has been the alma mater of some
of the greatest men our country has produced,
and is a nursery for the army which ought TO
be cherished by the government. Wo are
sorry that General sherman did not take oc-
casion to give his opinion on "hazng," but
we are confident he would have fully sus-
tained General Merritt in his effort to sup
prcss it. Wo hope that West Point men will
soon bo as little proud of the good old days Of
hazing as the balance of US are of the good
old days when we burned witches.

AsbIIry Park.

Asbury Park is seaside watering place
under Methodist control, and where the sale
of liquors, the smoking of cigars, recreations
on the Sabbath, flirting on the beach, and all
other forms of ungodlincss are forbidden. 1t
has a special charter and some police regula-
tions that smack largely of the old blue laws,
although as yet we believe no witches have
been drowned. The visitors there who are
fond of their pipes and cigars, and
who do not appreciate that sort OF
sanctity which forbids smoking organized
themselves on the eve of an election held
there u few days ago, and won avictory at the
polls by majority Of four votes. Strength
ened by this result the victorious party pro.
pose to make fight against other regulations
which they deem unnecessarily harsh, and il
may bo that Asbury Park will, after while,
admit publicans and sinners on its grounds,
bership and good moral conduct to enable
a person to engage u room at one Of its hotels
We have the greatest respect for religion and
for good morals, but when sect undertakes
to set up n watering place, and require every
body who goes there to provo his sanctity
and to give bond that he will not smoke
cigars, chew tobacco laugh ON Sunday, drink
anything containing alcohol, or escort a
we'll dressed lady to the beach, we think
the end of sufferance is reached
Asbury Park may make itself respectable
and make resort for quiet people of the
Asbury style of theology, which is, by the
way, a very excellent theology; but when il
attempts to set up and enforce the puritan
ical cdicts of a century past it will find tha
| it has made great failure.

west Point In Cen. shermnn,s Day

Gen. Sherman delivered characteristic
address some weeks ago to tho cadets at the
military academy at West Point, Tho gen.
eral very naturally went back to the days
when he was a student there, and tho vein of
his address showed that, while he was aware of
and appreciated the progress of the academy he
was still inclined to applaud "the good old
times" This is natural with men of the gem
erals age. Many old persons, whilo fully
acknowledging the great advantages of mod
ern progress, arc still inclined to sigh for
"the good old times when we drowned
witches" Their minds are full of tho pleas
ant incidents and surrounding circumstances
of the good old days." while they are obliv-
ious to tho many disadvantages suffered for
want of modern appliances and Improvements,
The general illustrated this feeling by an
incident which he rected:
can see see old Joe Blankster In the spring
Of 1886 there came here Il great big, stout fellow
from Ohio too [laughterl six feet five inchesin
his stockings, yard across his shoulders, weigh
ing 200 pounds with hands hard with toll on his
fathers farm. He had hardly ever seen the inside
of an arithmetic; but he had an honest, manly
fOce and wore No, 16 shoes, so big the shoemakers
used to charge him double price for making them.
His parents were poor farmers in the southwestern
part of Ohio, In the spring of 1870 just before We
were graduated, Joe's iather took i'll, and he had
to go home. He was too poor TO havo two suits OF
clothes, so he travelled all that distance in his
cadet uniform, with the short tail TWAS pres
identlul campaign year, aud he attended great
mass meeting, stlll clad in his gray uniform. One
of the speakers talked about the tyranny OF the
government, the presidents great white palace
the golden spoons he ate out OF, aud the soft car
pets he walked on. lie spoke OF that arlstocratic
place on the North river where "wasp-waisIed

THE New York Times says OF the newly ap-
pointed quartermaster general of tho army:
Cen s. D. Holabird, the recently appointed
quartermnster general Of the army, has taken hold
of matters under his charge with n vim, and al
ready the army is bene1ung from new regulations
introduced upon his recommendation The cloth
ing of non.commissioned officers, privatos, and
musicians has received attention. and several ben
chCial changes made. Overcoats have been over
hauled and fur gauntlets and fur caps for posts in
the colder latitudes provided under certain re-
strlctons. Suspenders, hitherto an unknown issue,
are hereafter to be supplied the soldiers, and Il
system OF issuing unmade clothing inauguratcd,
which, in the opinion of those who have worked
under tho old system, is n decided improvement.
The allowance of draught animals OF the military
stations has also been looked into, and closer
scrutiny as to numbers required and what re-
quired for is to be maintained. All things con-
sidered, therefore, we say that Gen. Holabird has
done and is amply fulfilling tho representations
of his friends on his assumption of the Office of
quartcrmaster general.
All of which deserves the commendation of
the Times and of the public There is an
other matter not in Gen. Holabird's jurisdic-
tion which The REPUBLICAN has moro than
once called attention to, and that is the do

put upon men who enlist in the United States
army that they arc really enlisting as

they are at once put to their trades after en-.

all wrong. If the army needs mechanical
work or labor, let it be hired and paid for
