WHAT TIME IS IT:"

Time to do well,
Time TO live better
To give up that grudge.

To do now the good

In that new situation
Time to build up
ON a solid foundation:
Giving up neediessly,
Changing and drifting,
Leaving the quicksands

Time to he thoughtful
In seeking true pleasure.

WEST POINT DISCIPLINE.
a School where a Lie Is Next To Tn.
pard0nable.

Probably no school or college in the
representation as the West Point Military
Academy. 4 letter from there to the Hart
ford Times says: Out of nearly 300 cadets
the majority are sons of comparatively poor
parents; but whether rich or poor, educated
or uncultured, influential or obscure, their
boys get precisely the same impartial treat
ment when once they have passed the ne
cessary examinations and don the cadet
uniform. His antecedents are lost sight of
All share the same privileges. the same
hardships, the same restrictions. Pride
and conceit, intensified by the coddling of
fond parents. are knocked out of lad in a
twinkling. Prompt obedience is one of the
first things required. Commands are given
in quick. sharp tones, which the cadets
sound harsh enough to bring tears to the
eyes of Hartford High School boy. The
moral training that the boys get cannot be
too highly estimated. Truth-teling is an
inherent quality in cadet, at least SO far
as his solderly duties are concerned. So
much confidence is placed in the word of a
cadet by the commandant that a mere de
NAL of an alleged offense is sufficient. The
boy must and does speak the truth, making
a frank confession of a fault if he is guilty.
II he docs not do 50. he knows that his
comrades are in duty bound to tell on him
if questioned. and viii surely do 50, no
matter how diSagreeable to the ties of com
panionship. 4 lie is an almost unpartlon-
able offense The duties of the interior or
tion OF the barracks are So Sub-livided that
habits of selfcontrol, self-command, clean
illness and faultless order come by intuition.
Violation OF rules means loss of liberty
and, perhaps, expulsion. pick these sam
pies of punishable complaints from long
list daily posted in the guard-house, where
each cadets faults are blazoned to his fel-
lows:
WaiSt-belt too loose.
Not properly shaved.
Late at church roll-call.
Shoes not properly cleaned.
Dirty gun at inspection.
Very dirty collar at guard-momting.
Wash-bowl not clean,
No white shirt on.
This is sufficient to show how closely the
boys are watched cannot give detailed
account of the long and arduous course OF
study that is necessary to success. The
first year the cadets are drilled thoroughly
in mathematics, to train the mind to exact
reason. The second year their time is taken
up principally by The modern languages.
The third year they plunge into physics and
philosophy, to give them habits of close and
accurate observation. The fourth and last
year they must dive deep into law, ord
nance and gunnery and the art of war.

Mr.. Randall's alleged deliverance on the
tariff, recently published in the Southern
magazine Dixie, turns out to be an abridge-
ment of an old speech of his on the subject.
The editor of Dixie wrote to Mr. Randall
asking for an article on the tariff Mr.. Ran
dali sent him some Of his speeches, with
leaves turned down and pages marked. Not
having space to publish the whole, the edi-
tor condensed it and published the result as
a contribution from Mr.. Randall. While
Mr.. Randall does not allege that the article
misrepresents him, he leaves it to be inferred
that it does not exactly represent him. A
speech is generally made with reference to
certain circumstances existing at the time of
Its delivery. To reproduce it years after
wards and apply it to circumstances then ex-
listing, would be very likely to do its author
injustice. This is what the editor of Dixie
did and certainly Mr.. Randall has good
ground for complaint, less he understood

A very able Democratic journal of New
York demands offices for the Democrats on
the theory that.such recognition is due "the
men who have upheld the party banner for
quarter of century, not for plumber but
from principle" 1t is extremely unfortu-
nate that these very men are just now going
back on their record. When there were no
offices in sight they were ostensibly for
principle. Now that there is change they
are for something else, and it looks very
much like plumber. The World must work

If Col Morton is ever candidate again
for any office the Democracy will not rally to
his support to any great extent. They do
not love him as much as they did. Instead
of throwing open the post office to general
competition, as it is alleged he promised to
do, he went to neighboring town and
secretly departed for Washington. When
the would-be candidates heard of his with
drawal they heard of the appointment of his
successor also, and so they had no time to
touch off their booms.

The Democrats of Richmond county, New
York, have just made deliverance touching
civil service reform. In convention assem-
bled they have resolved,
That we express, our emphatic approval of the
acts OF the Federal Administration In the appoint
ment OF fit persons of the Democratic party to
federal offices, and that we favor strict enforce
ment Of the law, to the end that the beneficial
changes made shall continue and that such modi-
ncations In the laws may be brought about upon
sary.
They might have said what they meant
with very much less circumlocution. 1t is
evident enough that the only civil service
reform the Richmond county Democrats be-
lieve in is one that turns out Republicans
and puts in Democrats. And the modifca-
tons in the present law which they want
are such changes as shall prevent it from
ever compelling the President to appoint a
Republican.
