TURBULENT STUDENTS.

The action of the students of the state
agricultural college at Pullman since the
removal of President Lilley abundantly
J~ustifies the course taken by the board of
regents in that matter. Immediately after
the election of President Heston there
was issued from the office of the college an
insulting set OF resolutions, purporting to
come from the students. and assa;ling the
board of regents in . manner which would
have been unwarrsnted under any circun-
stances. This action was followed by the
assault upon President Heston and Regent
Smith by a party of hoodlum students,
which is reported in our news columns
this morning.
AS has been said. nothing could more
fully justify the wisdom of the board in
the removal of President Liliey. A COL
lege where students are so turbulent and
30 utterly regardless of the conduct which
is expected of them, needs a change of
administration. Whatever may be the
right or wrong of the matter, III fact re-
mains that the removal of President LilIey
and the appointment of President Heston
was perfectly legal, and the board had a
perfect right to act as they did in the
matter. That the members of the board
were prompted by praiseworthy motives
in their action we do not doubt; nor do
We now doubt that their action was wise.
1t has been stated that ex-Pres;dent
Lilley and Regent Conover will demand
an investigation into the affairs of the
college. 1t is to be hoped that they will,
and that the investigation will not be a
superficial one, out will be a thorough
search for facts; nor should the removsl
of President Lilley be the only thing in
vestigated. Pending this investigation.
however, President. Heston should restore
discipline in the college and the 'ringlead-
ers In the outrageous attack Of yesterday
should be summarily expelled.

NECEssITY NO CLOG TO CApACITY.

There il an infinite deal of nonsense
spoken and written, whenever leading men
die, about self-made men, as if it were q
clog TO capacity to be forced to fight out
Its future and fix its fate. The so-called
fortunate boy never finds out how half
his fellows live, is never tested until
trouble touches him with her heavy hand.
aud then too often suffering comes too
late to make the gristls of youth into the
bone of manhood, and in his overpower-
ing sense Of debility that his fatal good
fortune has wrought he waves his hands
feebiy. distractingly q few moments. cries
end dieA II trouble does not come, he
not frequently sinks out of sight in a boil
ing sea Of ~extravagant living and soul
killing dissipation.
On the other hand. the poor boy butts
the world IN tho stomach with his hard
head and squeezes it by the throat until it
drops some Of its treasures at his feet; he
has no time to dream, because he must
deive every day. The spur of necessity on
his flank gets the best possible speed out
of the poor boy who has ambition. en-
ergy. health, fair capacity and a common
school education. The wonder is not that
30 many poor boys become eminent men;
the real wonder is when a rich boy rises
TO real distinction.

a NATIONAL BANKRUPT ACT.

The National Bankrupt bill that is now
before congress ought 10 pass, but it il
doubtful of success. because of the un-
pleasant. odious memory of the national
bankrupt act OF 1867. whose crying defect
va, the facility with which a debtor man

certain class OF INSCRIPTIONS men into
rather desperate speculative ventures in
trade. clear beyond their scanty capital or

stake was very small and that of their
creditors comparatively great, 80 that il
the dice did not turn up lucky for them

s.sv discharge and 5 fresh chance to shake

The ease OF discharge under the act of
1857 was due to the fact that cut of 4 large

Labouchere, the leader of the English
Radicals in parliament, would meet the
tendency to the accumulation and perpetu-
alton of vast fortunes by a progressive
death duty on all requests. Suppose that
a man left 81. 900, 200. and that my erogres-
sive duty doubled itself on every $500. 900
inherited by any of his heirs. If the duty
on the first $500, 600 were 5 per cent, should
ne leave one person $1,000. 900 the sum of
$75,o 600 would have to be paid, $l75,0oo by
any one getting 81. 500, coo, and SO on. until
the effect of leaving an excessive amount
to one individual would be that the state
would become the sole heir. This would
prevent the perpetuation Of accommodations
and oblige a millionaire so to spread his
money on his death that a large number Of
individuals would profit by it."

egisiasure have agreed TO go into a Caucus on
United States senator. BY that report We uu-
ierstand a Republican caucus Of all the mem
4ers, as the term is generally understood. If
this report p owes altogether true, and there
an be no good party reason why it should not
prove true, it will only be in harmony, We be-
.ieve, with the decision Of all the other Repub-
tican members. 1t is not only the Repub-
sican way of deciding who shall be the par,y's
candidate for senator, but it il the best
way for the legislature as q body that has other
business besides e~.ecting a senator to do. Each
party, Democratic, PopuIist and Republican,
meeting in its own caucus and there deciding
who shall be presented TO the legislature as can
tiida.es for United states senator. 10 the orderly
way of disposing Of matter that might otherwise
divide the legislature into factions aud destroy
Its usefulness for the session. Senator Al
zen and Judge Turner. who are regarded
as the two leading candidates for the Re-
publican nomination., are certainly in
favor of q caucus, and their wishes Will govern
to q reasonable extent. Inasmueh as the caucus
method is the method of all parties. and par
ticu,arly the Republican,. We are only indorsing
what passes as a matter OF course.
Il should primarily be the high resolve of
every Republican member that the interests Of
the party aud the state shall first be subserved.
In executing that resolve the initial step lies IN
the emphatic rejection OF every proposition to
depart from the rule of nominating all candi-
dates for office in caucus.

FOR A THIRD TERN.

A correspondent of the New York Times
has already nominated Cleveland for a
third term. and a letter to the St. Paul
Daily Globe also supports this extraord,-
aTy proposition.
Let no one suppose that because a Re-
publican national convention refused to
give Grant a third term tha a Democratic
national convention would be sure to re-
fuse to nominate Cleveland for a third
term. The Democratic party would nomi-
nate Cleveland just as long as thew
thought he could be elected. The
Democratic party has never showed any
respect for presidents when the precedent
stood in the way of anything the party
wanted. The Republican party is ALWAYS
full of critics, cranks and s~entimentaiis.s
aud it would be difficult to nominate any
man for a third term in a Republican ma
tionai convention, but the Democracy
would not waste a moments consideration
on the question of the third term being q
dangerous precedent if they thought the
candidate for a third term was likely to
make a winning race.
The Democracy Is practical, not senti-
mental or critical. Its single purpose Is
to win, and in order 10 win it would pom-
mate Senator PETER. of Kansas. for presi-
dent tomorrow or q platform of the sub
treasury scheme If il thought that PETER
on that platform was sure to win. Mr..
Cleveland need not trouble himself about
.'shs precedent being against a third
term" presidents don't count in the
Democratic party, If Cleveland can make
the Democracy believe in 1895 that he is
the surest man to win, he will be nomi-
mated and elected. The very same Mug
wunps who howled themselves hoarse
against Grant and q third term would
throw their caps up tomorrow for "Cieve-
land. Civil Service Reform and a Third
TERM"
The third term would not have beaten
Grant on lis merits Suppose Blaine and
John sherman had supported Grant IN
iS>0 does anybody suppose that the howl

Instead of the increase proportionate to
the increase of voters there was an actual
decrease in these three states.
The same thing occurred in other states.
There was a very heavy reserved vote.
Why did it stay at homer Was it because
of an utter lack of interest in the election.
or because the Australian ballot increases
the number of ''stay at home voters" in
both parties?
If the decrease in the total vote in great
states Is due to the prevalence OF political
apathy during the presidential campaign.
then this fact is to be depIored and is not
a good sign OF the times: if the decrease is
due to the Australian ballot then it is a
fact that is certainly not in favor of that
system.

Founding asylum of Now, York city.
This institution, says the Chicago Post,
and others of similar nature are
Going q thriving business in Chicago,
and for several years past they have
inloaded anywhere from three hun
Gred to five hundred unfortunate waits
per year on families in and about this
city, No less than fifty of these little
unfortunates, for the most part chill
dren OF crime, were sent to this city
during recent month. One consign-
ment alone consisted Of thirty found
lings. and other shipments varied in
numbers from two to ten, This traffic
in human fesh-for such it is-has
grown to such an alarming magnitude
that local benevolent societies have
been forced to take cognizance of it,
and it IS more than probable that steps
will be taken to suppress it. The claim
is made that the babies are sold at
SO much per head, and when a con-
Slgnment arrives all that is necessary

baby that takes your fancy, pay the
stipulated price, and it is yours. The
parentage of the child is carefully con-
cealed, as this is the safest course and
prevents any future acknowledgements as
to the right of ownership. 1t also
throws halo of romance and mystery
about the little waif, and leaves a pleas
urable possibility that it's mother may
be member of 1.-THE Four Hundred"
or its father congressman or Doodle
alderman who will appear some day
in the distant and misty future and
shower his millions on his illegitimate
child. Be this as it may, the fact re-
mains that New York founding homes
and baby farms are sending hundreds of
children to this city, and they are per-
fectly willing to take money for them if
IT is offered, and in many cases they sell
them openly.
