HAMLINE COLLEGE CHIPS.

The Oracle for December is out in an at
tractlve issue, each department sustaining
the cool opinions the previous issues have
warranted. The literary numbers have been
selected from the best of the chapel ESSAYS
produced by the seniors and juniors and are
very readable matter The local and per
scnai column were perhaps sighted, owing
TO the rush near the close OF the term. but
Wnat mere IS. IS good. The editorial page is
4 disappointment. Former issues adhered
strictly to what was or Interest to the college
and to the interests of the college, but here
the heaFy editorial of over a column is de-
voted to pralsing MIR. Blaine" and running
down Grover" college paper supported
by students whose political affiliations lie
with every party, is not the place to intro
duce electloneering tactics or mud singing,
and because the editor-in-chief happens to
be strong Republican is no reason why he
should use his place to air his own political
views, even if they happen to coincide
with the views of q majority of the
students 1t is all very well to say
Democracy in 1884 must be elected but we
doubt not that the writer was as confident of
"Jim's election in 81 as he is of the defeat
OF Mr.. Cleveland in '92. In ''exerting the
pressure OF public opinion all NAV have a
part. but II would be for the best interests of
the Oracle to see that private opinion is not
aired on its editorial page.
