A SETTLER on the western shores
of Oregon has gotten himself into
great trouble with the United States
Government. A lighthouse keeper
near him obtained permission to erect
small shed for the storing of his
boats gratuitously. The keeper was
removed some time ago and a new
man appointed. The settler imme-
diately proceeded to knock the lock
off the boat-house and take posses
sion, whereupon the lighthouse
keeper informed him that he was LA

tiary for five years and a proportion

ON To CuICA0Oi

The News's suggestion to send an
agent to the great fair at Chicago to
work among the exhibitors in the in
terests of this city, has met with such
complete acceptance by the business
men that it seems now only matter of
detail and the accomplishment of the
practical work of selecting the proper
man and providing for the necessary
expense.
At least three of the business organ
izations have taken the matter up, or
will take it up this week What they
will decide to do is somewhat problem
atical, but it is to be hoped that con-
ference committee will be selected with
power to employ an agent to solicit
funds. If that is done we are very
confident that the way to the accom-
plisment Of the scheme will be clear,
at least up to the point of selecting the
man for the work.
That due weight may be given to the
opinions that have been published in the
News from day to day they are today re-
published, showing volume of spon-
taneous Endorsement of the ioea such as
is very rarely given to any project of a
like nature. These brief interviews
show very clearly that the business in
terests of the city appreciates the value
of the opportunity that is now open
and desire to take full advantage of it.
There is no permanent agency in the
city through which enterprises like this
can be put in operation. Therefore it
is necessary that the business organiza-
tions take it up and constitute a joint
committee, If there is to be any practi-
cal application made of the evident de-
sire of the citizens.
That great permanent good would re-
suit from an intelligent and vigorous
prosecution of the plan is so obvious
that to argue it is waste of vitality. 1t
is all matter Of getting the sentiment
of the business men of the city into
such practical condition as will make it
operative.

The course of the treasury in the mat
ter of sustaining the parity Of gold and
silver, so far as the formal action of the
secretary can do so, has been more sat
isfactory than 1t was feared would be
the case, yet it has lacked the essential
element of settled conviction without
which any course of action fails of ex-
erting the influence it might otherwise
exert.
The secretary evidently contemplated
a line of action somewhat different from
that actually employed, and he was
checked by the interference of the
President. While it is thus settled
that the President is to guide the policy
of the treasury, it is not certain what
his policy may eventually come to.
It is pretty we'll understood that the
President does not favor the issuing OF
bonds. 1t is not known what he does
favor to help the treasury over the cri-
sis that cannot be said to be yet past.
The generosity of the bankers in letting
the treasury have the gold to tide over
few days is not to be counted on as a
permanent cure for the evil Of gold ex-
portation, and the necessity of finding
some permanent cure is AS pressing as
ever.
1t is not clear what has caused the
President to set his face so resolutely
against the issuing of bonds. This is
certainly the simplest and least objec-
tionable of any of the methods of relief
suggested as yet. 1t may be called bor-
rowing from Peter to pay Paul, but
Paul must be paid, and Peter has the
money that he wishes to put into use.
If bonds were issued gold would be-
gin to come this way from Europe, and
the whole complexion of the situation
would be so changed that there would be
ample time to so adjust the revenues as
to provide for the redemption of the
bonds and for the strengthening OF the
treasury in such fashion as would pro-
vide for the future and against such
crises.
The best safeguard that can be pro-
vided is the repeal of the silver purchase
law and the provision for the proper
use of silver, in the manner that was
suggested at the monetary conference,
and has been explained by President
Andrews In several addresses since he
returned from Brussels. This country
con do much toward bringing this
about, if the President sends the same
delegates to the adjourned conference
that served at the opening session.

COLLEGE BARBARIANs.

Hazing as an institution of college
life has been relegated to the back
ground in the leading universities of the
country. There is but little of it in
Harvard Yale, Brown, or the other
principal Eastern colleges, and what
little there is of simple variety. 1t re-
mains for the students of the minor col
Ieges to take up the custom where the
older institutions dropped it. They
seem to think that by rivaling their
predecessors in the cruelty Of their So
called "iokes," they are heightening
the reputation of the college, and prov
ing themselves to be true college men.
Every now and then some especially
noteworthy incident of this under
graduate barbarity finds its way into
print. The latest is perhaps the most
notable of any in recent years, for the
extreme Of indecency to which the
principals allowed themselves to go.
Five sophomores of the Ohio Wesley
an university are under arrest charged
with burning with nitrate OF silver the
faces of five juniors. Both cheeks and
the chin of each are branded with the
letters ID. O. A., and on each forehad is
the representation of horns. Their
faces are yellow aud black and have The
appearance of being tattoed. In ad-
dition to arrest the five young men who
participated in the affair have been dis
missed from the university and sued for
800 900 damages by the injured young
men.
Near the college is Monnett Hall,
seminary for young girls. Fired by the
example set by the boy students, some
forty of the girls treated five Of their
number to the initiate of silver pictu re
process, printing pictures on their arms
and their breasts causing severe pain
and infiicting permanent scars. Moth
ing has however been done about this
matter by the faculty of the seminary.
There are those who hold that man
is by nature cruel. However this may
be it is certain that the college student,
when removed from home influence.
becomes as wild as an unframed colt
and INDUCES in excesses in the pursuit
of what he calls "fun" that would
shame Comanche.
