COLLEGE CRITICISM AND ANGLOHANIA.


COLLEGE CRITICISM And ANGLOHANIA.
Harvard admres independence of thought
and action and gives warm welcome to such of
her graduates as have the courage to point out
her faults and weaknesses to her face. Wen
dell Phillips laid the lash on pretty severely
few years ago, and Charles Frances Adams, jr.,
freed his mind last year in an equally refresh
ing way. Now Henry Cabot Lodge, the young
chairman of the Republican State Committee,
has something to say to his fellow alumni about
their attitude in politics. The fact that the
president of the University and several prom
inent graduates are leaders in the Independent
movement in Boston lends especial significance
to Mr.. Lodges words, in which there is an UNI
dertone of reproOf for the tendency on the part
of college men to find fault with the world, be-
couse events march OH without due regard to
their wishes.
A dread OF enthusiasm and a consequent ten
dencv to assume Il critical attitude are, in Mr..
Lodges opinion, the great obstacles that Har-
ward men encounter when they enter politics.
"Wholesome criticism" he says, is desirable,
@but criticism is only negative, and nothing
"great is ever effected by mere negation. Lib
"arally educated men should be first before all
sfor public men and public measures" And
then Mr.. Lodge hoped that " the disease OF
Anslomania had not crept within the walls Of
the college, and exhorted all to strive for Ma
ton distinctly American in thoughts manners
and CUSTOMS and to devote themselves with
patriotism TO the service of the country.
This was good seed, and fell without doubt
upon good ground. Mr.. Lodge recognizes the
tendency of college men to become chronic
GROWERS over the existing state of things-a
tendency that has been strikingly shown by the
discomfort in certain quarters with the nOmina-
ton of Mr. Blaine-and, points out the remedy
for the disease. Mr.. Lodges plea for Nation
that shall be distinctiyely American must also be
regarded as an adroit thrust at those Anglo
maniacs who oppose Mr.. Blaine so vehcmently.
For. if the Republican candidate has one quality
which transcends all others, it is his loyalty To
America and his devotion to the interests of all
Americans

The decision of the Democratic Supreme Court
of Ohio on the Scott Liquor law, though mani
fcstly dictated by partisanship and designed TO
pull the Democratic party out OF deep hoie'
meets with indignant censure from respectaple
mou of both parties. The decision OF the ma
iority. it will be remembered, lodges the ques-
ton whether the law is constitutional. The
Court refused to consider that question, though
il was the only one raised in the two cases be-
fore the Court and in the arguments therein,
and holds that the tax cannot be collected IN
these eases because the section making the tax
a lien upon property leased to liquor sellers Is
unconstitutional. Inasmuch as the tax cannot
otherwise be collected from the great majority
of low saloons, but can be collected from those
which have stocks of considerable value, or
from liquor sellers who own the premises they
occupy the effect is 10 make discrimination
contrary to the main purpose of the law ana
contrary to public policy, which Is resented with
intense feeling by the more substantial class oil
dealers. and by all good citizens who wish to
extirpate the lower and moro demoralizlng
grog-shops. At the same time, the shameless
dishonesty of the decision, from legal point OF
view. gives offence to all those citizens whU do
not WISH W Stt tHO DupiNiiN CONAN pa
to partisan uses.
The minority of the Court state but the naked
fact in the dissenting opinion, saying:
The case vas admitted upon the docket for the so'e
purpose Of again considering the validity OF the scott
law and that was the only question argued by counsel
and we think 1t due to the plaintiff in well ~ to
the public that this question fairly made should nave
been met and decided.
1t appears that the long delay was not because
the Court could not decide upon the constltn-
tionality Of the act bat because Governor
Hoadlv and other Democratic politicians in
sisted that the issue must be evaded and
labored long and earnestly before they could
bring a majority of the judges TO a step so dis
graceful to the Court. The practical effect will
be to stop the collection of the tax in great
majority of cases, and to deprive the towns
throughout the State of large revenue which
has lifted heavy burdens from the property OF
taxpayers. The Indignation is likely to affect
the vote this fall quite largely, particularly if
the Governor, who pledged himself that the act
should be declared unconstitutional, and to
whose t1ickery the evasion is due, should be
nominated for high Office. In the rural DIS
tricts, where the advantages resulting from the
enforcement Of the law have been great, 1t
would be strange if the trckery OF the Demo
Gratis should not cost them heavy losses.

The esteem in which man is held by his
t0wusmen and near neighbOrs, who wit
uess daily all his walks in life, is one OF
the best indications of his character.
Judged by such a standard, Mr. Blaine
stands out pre-eminently as man loved
and respected by all. In Augusta, where he
has spent so many years of his life, Democrats
and Republicans alike express their regard for
him. Some interesting facts in connection with
the subject are gwen elsewhere in to-day's

Longstreets case is IL pitiable one.
The demand, by the president, for his
resignation as United States marshal
of the Northern district of Georgia,
relegates him to private life and OBJ
security. When the civil war closed
Lopgstreet had the example of Lee,
and Others scarcely less eminent than
Lee, who had been his comrades.in-
arms. They chose the quiet walks of
business life and sought to achieve
usefulness and rehabilitation of shat
tered fortunes by avoidance of politics.
Lee went into the classic shades of the
University of Virginia and died hon
ored and regretted by the world.
Gordon, Hill, Early, Beauregard,
Kirby Smith, Stephen d. Lee and
other prominent Confederates all went
into business and succeeded. OF the
corps commanders of the Lost Cause
Longstreet was the only one who
made fair weather with the dominant
party. He staked his future on the
tickle chances of political life and by
joining the Republicans very natural
ly alienated the people of the South,
whose devotion he once possessed.
Had he done this later it is probable
there would not have been SO much
imbitterment against him. 1t must
be remembered that passion ran high
when he left his trends and people,
and in the very nature of IT, inps there
could be no moderate judgment, in
the south, for him. The years have
gone by, and now, after all, he is
turned upon and virtually repudiated

and he has passed the age when he
may reasonably hope to turn to n
quiet business life and achieve success.
We write of this more in sorrow than

Longstreet's political course since the
war, 1t is not to be forgotten that he
was a brave and skillful soldier and
helped to make imperishable history
for the South. Conceding him abso- !

pursued 1t must be matter of regret

prices with the view 10 lawsuits or relief by

settler are the ones leasing the lands now.
Such positive statement Is widely
at variance with the facts that have
been published. If the ''small stock
raiser and settler are the ones leasing
now" how much would big stock
raiser lease? Here are few of the
figures, showing the way leases are be-
ing made. One corporation has leased
2l5, 757 acres another 10000 acres ;
a third 90, 900 acres. Five leases COM
prise between 5000 and 100000 acres
each five between 10000 and $4,000
each three between 10000 and 10000 !;
two between 10000 and 10000; nine.
teen between 10000 and 10000. In
January eleven firms leased 676, 237
acres of the total $4,000 leased. In
April four firms took 3i4, 1850 acres of
667, SS2 acres leased and in June five
firms took 100, 2i0 acres of the total
2l1, 400. OF the entire ], ZOE, DID, acres
leased in January, April and June,
l,O52,537 acres were monopolized by
fifteen firms.

United States government is fairly
well represented in this state. But In
most of the other Southern states how
different is the state of affairs Men
who have no substantial interest in the
sections where they live, outside OF
what plumber they can pick up, fill
most of the federal places OF RESPONSE
bility and trust, and when good man
is found in position among them they
are as much out of place as can be inn
agined. 1t has been said that the fed
eral government, having poor
lot to select from, should
not be abused for selecting
shabby material. True, but 1t should
not be forgotten that the Federal gov
eminent is responsible for the fact that
1t has no better material to select from.
Had the South been even half de-
Gently treated in the years that have
passed since 1865, instead ola decent Re-
publican here and there out Of the
thousands of the worst elements of the
population, the Republican party
would have in Its ranks in the South
to-day large proportion of good and
representative men.
But II Is not our purpose In this
connection to go into the causes which
have resulted in the federal offices
throughout most OF the Southern states
being filled by bad men. That the
fact is fact is true, and
Pity It's, It's true.
Our purpose is rather to call this
fact to the attention of Northern,
Eastern and Western men generally,
without regard to their past party af-
filiations, and to ask them in justice to
people who are quite as loyal as they
to the general government to vote for
Cleveland and Hendricks to
the end that the federal
offices throughout the South
shall in the future be filled by decent
men who will fairly represent great
government, as is the case now in
other sections of our country. This
people has no hope of any improve
ment in this respect under Repub-
lican administrations, and it is for this
reason, before all other reasons, that
the best elements of the South so per-
sistently vote for the Democratic NOM
inees. If Republicans out of the South
would know the philosophy of the
"Solid South" they need only look
into the federal offices throughout the
South.
To the independent Republicans, in
we call for that assistance
in this emergency which is needed,
that irresponsible and dishonest men
now holding Office under the federal
government may be ousted and their
places be filled by representative men
who will reflect no discredit on the
government under which they will
hold their commissions.
A change is needed, in this respect,
particularly.
