An "Unsavoryo Subject.

Col. Cash may be q very unselfsh and patriotic
person, and he may be entirely sincere in his wish
to overthrow the bourbon rulers of the south, but
II so we advise him to take good care what COM
pany he keeps. He will be an object of suspicion
to most northern people until he cuts loose tron
such unsavoiy politicians hs Malone and Cb-l-
mers.--NCa0 Yoik Times.
Then on another day the 7Jmr7 advices Ma
hone to cut loose from such mon as Cash and
Chalmers, and on yet another day the Times
would advise Chalmers to cut loose from such
men as Cash and Malone. If the conductor
of the Times would form the acquaintance of
either of tho three individuals named, he
could learn from either of them great deal
moro of good morals and good manners than
he has ever been known to practice thus far
in very "unsavory" career. By the way,
the Times proprietor contributed $500 to the
Malone cause in Virginia two years ago. 1t
is not so much cause of wonder that he now
mourns over it as that he was ever induced
to do SO decent thing. However, it saved
him from having it said of him as Junius
said of another that men did not consider it so
strange that he had always done wrong by
intention as that he had never done right by
mistake. The Times man did do right in
1881, probably by mistake.

Thunderbolts and Pellets.

Rather dictatorial, but not original, is the
recent remark of Mr.. Dana, that "the re.
publican party must 60" 1t has boen said
for nearly q quarter Of q century by many
eminent obstacles to national progress and
prosperity. The first insoent demand was
made by the democratic artillerist and lot
terist, q. 7. Beauregard in 1861, when he
ordered tho republican garrison of Fort
Sumter to Ego at once" Upon that first oc-
oasion the demand was successfully enforced
by democratic assault upon tho national
life. Thereafter, when the armies of the
union began to move upon the iusolent foe,
Mr.. Davis cried "shoo at them and said "all
we want is to be let alone But the repub-
lcan party would not go until its warlilSe
mission was accomplished
When the thirteenth amendment was pro-
posed making freemen of tho freedmen, the
democratic party said 'go,' but they were
ignored until that amendment became part
of the constitution.
A1O dloO NllCH viz lOultcthth anu hAhSShbh
amendments were proposed, in order to pro-
vide for the suffrage of the freedmen and en-
force the achievements of the union arms by
legal engraftment upon the constitution, the
bourbon cry was to be let alone, and their
pitiful pleas was that the republicans would
go, but they didn't.
While in hopeless minority the demo,
cratic party has pleaded and begged for the
stoppage of the wheels of national progress.
1t has said that the republican party ought to
go before it made a national currency, pro-
vided for the pensioners, resumed specie pay
ments, passed protective tariff act, or made
the tenure of public office safe and contin-
uous. These things have been hopelessly
contested in the attitude of petitioners. No
sooner, however, do they have glimmer of
reason to hope for domination than their
most puissant scribbler, with the
hauteur of q Beauregard, commands
the republican party to go. But
Mr.. Dana should have known that he would
not be obeyed. Tho republican party takes
its leave on unimportant occasions and when
it is not ordered out; but Mr.. Dana has surely
lived long enough to know that the ropub-
lican party will not go to stay at the com
mand of all the democratic forces combined
much less will it depart at the beck and nod
of ajournalistic Jovo whose thunderbolts are
mere paper pellets.

uunIne at West Point and Annapolis.

Some weeks ago cadet at the military
academy at West Point named Hartigan
q member ofthe first or graduating class, and
who had high standing in the academy was
tried and convicted of hazing and ordered to
be dismissed from the academy. The proof
was complete, and the case thoroughly made
out and the superintendent of the academy
approved the sentence, and forwarded it to
the secretary of war by whom it was also ap-
proved. The strongest political and social in
huences were exerted to induce Secretary
Lincoln to set aside the sentence, but all
failed, and Cadet Hartigan was dismissed.
Some time ago, soon after Capt. Ramsay
was assigned to duty as superintendent of the
naval academy at Annapolis, there was an
epidemic of hazing at that institution and
Capt. Ramsay took vigorous steps for its sup
preston. On the late cruise of the cadets of
the academy number of cases of hazing oc-
CURED, and the accused parties are now under
trial at Annapolis.
The students at Annapolis are very persist
ent in requiring that they shall always be
spoken Of as men. 1t is very offensive to them
to denominato them as boys. Boys are sup
posed and expected to play pranks, and have
fun with each other mon are expected to act
as men, and show some dignity of character
Hazing means hamstringing, vexing with
chiding and furnishing by exacting unnec-
essary, disagreeable, or difficult duty. Itmeans
playing abusive, vulgar, and ungentlemanly
tricks, and has its source from uneducated
sailors Punishment for crime, when ordered
by constituted authorities, is always to be
commended. Punishment is supposed to be
inflicted with view to amendment and to
chasten, as father Furnishes his son for dis
obedience and for discipline.
1t is certainly no orime to bs what is
termed a plcJe or fourth classman. 1t would
seem, in q charitable point of view, the duty
of the members of the advanced classes to
aid and assist the plebes and help them on in
their duties. This would appear to be the
manly and gentlemauly way, as in opposition
to the barbarous method of hazing The
government expects to have from tho gradu-
ates of West Point and Annapolis who go
into its service not only accomplished
men in their professions but gentlemen. A
man who finds delight in hazing cannot be II
gentleman, however accomplished he may be
otherwise. Capt. Ramsay will be sustained
by the public sentiment of the country in
his praiseworthy efforts to suppress this
barbarous practice.

"Consistency is u Jewell"

Who is the author of the liner One of the lite
rau of this city said to me the other day that
Shakespeare said consistency is a jewel" My
reply was, and Is, that the word consistency is
not in Shakespeare. JOHN WILLIAMS.
The line "consistency's jewel" occurs
in an old English piece ofrhyme. The author
is unknown. The immediate context is:
Tush, tush my lass! Such thoughts resign
Comparisons are cruel. ~
Fine pictures suit in frames as fine.
Consistency's jewel.
If cone of the literati means to say that
the line in question occurs in any one of
Shakspeare's plays, "one of tho literati" is
in error. But Mr. Williams is probably wrong
in saying that the word consistency" was not
used by Shakespeare. Most English words that
mean anything were used by him. Reference
to Mary Cowden Clarke's concordance would,
however, easily settle the point

The democratic party in recent times has
had control of the house of representatives for six
years continuously, and during two years had a
majority of both houses of congress. At that time
1t was generally conceded that the tariff required
revision and reduction. But the democratic ma
Iority did nothing. 1t could do nothing. 1t was
paralyzed by q sense of its own incapacity. Its
members could not agree. They we're afraid, If
they took any affirmative action, that they would

definite policy, but to get votes. That is Its main

an honest count of the vote at general cleo
