Should Clean Them Ont.

In the rejection by the Senate OF So
Hector General John Goode, President
Cleveland is given an opportunity Of
cleaning out the whole tribe OF Pom
Electric schemers. Mr.. Garland's pres
ence in the cabinet is not only dis
grace TO the cabine; but to the county,
and the President must lie aware Of
that fact. Garland should 90 by all
means, but he Is not the only sinner in
the cabinet. 1t happens that Secretary
Lamar of the Interior Department has
taken common cause with Mr.. Garland
and Mr.. Goode, and should DO made to
follow. 1t WAS from Mr.. Lamsr's de-
partment that Mr.. Garland and his Pau
Electric associates easily obtained the
opinion upon which suits were based
against the Bell Company, and Mr..
Lamar, true to his Arkansas colleague,
has exerted himself to the utmost in
private to prevent the removal OF Mr.
Garland. But these are not all. Close
upon Their heels coma General Johnston
the Railroad Commissioner, and Mr.
Atkins, the Indian Commissioner, AMI
besides these high In office, other Dem
ocratic politicians from the South are
unfortunately mixed up with tho teie
phone matter. President Clevelan,
Can easily understand, II he will, tina
the associations OF Mr.. Lamar in
evitably influence his Judgment II
this matter, and II the Attorney Gen
eral were removed, there could scarcel
fail to remain a GOODNESS between MI
Lamar, other Pan-Eiectric statesme
and the President, which would impai
the efficiency of the public service all
deprive the administration OF that hal
mony OF purpose which is essential t
the Presidents success.
President Cleveland may get alon
with these men, intimately connecte
with his administr alton, but he will /
subject to the mos severe criticism, an
the best way for him out OF tbs diff
Guilty IL to clean out the entire ring an
tricksters that hare brought such di
grace upon his ad administration.
In partisan sense Republican
might desire the President to keep b
horde Of tricksters around him the re
OF his term, but that would hardly
for the interest OF good governmen
which Is desired by every true Repul

CLnRK OF THE MARKET 6meltx,
acting upon the suggestion Of the RI
PUBLICAN, went out through the mar
ket ON King streat on Saturday, and
before he had gone more than three or
four squares he had captured seven or
eight short quart measures and one or
two deficient half peck measures. Had
he had time to 20 through all the mar
ket he would no doubt have doubled
the number of short measures. We
are glad to see Mr.. Sme'tz developing
into live, energetic officer, who in
tends to do his duty without fear
or favor. He need not be moved by
the protestations OF the owners OF these
short measures. Wherever he finds n
short quart measure he will find some
thing short OF q man behind 1t 70
shield whom would be mercy thrown
away and q compromise with fraud.
The REPUBLICAN told Mr.. Smeltz on
Thursday that the people who went
into our markets to purchase were bein 9
systematically cheated and robbed by
short measures and light weights. Mr..
Smeltz has found that what we said
was true, and our advice to Mr.. Smeltz
Is to 20 ahead and spare not until every
dishonest vender of produce is driven
from the market.

College Fiends .

Alliance, Ohio, Is town that has q
college which Is not generally known
OF, but 1t seems to have turned out 3
first-class place of college hazing. A
youth belonging to that college, de-
string to Join one Of the secret societies
of the institation, was put through o
systematic course Of indignities and
torture that but sci iom find their way
into the newspapers. r. NJ. Marshall,
the young man alluded to, desired to
join the Kappa Gamma Fraternity"
and paid his dollar as the initiation fee.
He was blindfolded and led into the
presence of some twenty or thirty stu
dents. He was then bound hand and
foot and rolled over barrel. Next he
was stripped naked and placed upon q
cake Of ice for considerable length OF
time. He was then tossed in q blanket,
and afterwards his prosecutors placed
him upon his face and branded on his
back the fraternity emblem, after

has q charter or anything Of that kind
it should be taken from 1t, and the
place at once turned into a house Of
correction and punishment. The indig-
nifty practiced upon this youth would
justify almost any retaliation. Such
conduct has been permitted 30 long,
even in educational institutions belong
ing to and supported by our govern
ment, that unfortunately we find
apologists for 1t as q harmless and in
nocent recreation. Buthow such treat
ment as being rolled over barrel,
lying naked upon a cake of ice, and
being branded with some outlandish
monogram upon the bare back, the
flesh qu,vering and burning under the
touch Of the red hot branding irons, Ii
called innocent amusement and can b,
tolerated amongst level headed edu-
tors, is something we do no
understand. But these fisndish stu
dents, who delight In cruelty, we ar,

also threatened" That would be al
awful punishment to these youn
fiends, would 1t not? 1t is not ikel,
they care about being at college any
how, were 1t not thstithey were per
mitted to revel in the excitement G

college is no punishment for such youn

should be prosecuted for criminal ac
and sent to Jail for long term, and

community OF Alliance owes it
