ST.. JoHN's COLLEGE, !
ANNAPoLIs, Nd, Jan. 10, 1894. {
At meeting of the Senior, Jun
Tor and Sophomore classes held in
Mcdowell Hall, SC. Johns College,
on Mountaineering, the 9th instant,
the following resolutions were
adopted:
WHEREAS, The practice of "haz-
ing" which has so long been a fea-
ture OF the inner life of st. Johns,
has been Shown to be highly detri-
mental to the progress and Welfare
of our Alma Mater, apart from an
amount of -ndignity too often in.
fiicted upon the sufferer, and as We
believe that the students should in
all cases doall in their power to
further the prosperity of the col
lege, since it is to the college that
they look tosupply them with many
of the guiding principles of their
life's careeg therefore,
BE 1t 1sOlued, BY the Senior,
Junior ami Sophomore classes of
st. John, college, in meeting as
sembled. lat hazing in every form
or kind S AL cease to exist within
the preci PTS of St. Johns College,
a s,5 nat berything will be done to
suPprPssg fe, continuance Of this
practfceAH 1t be again attempted.
True COPY, Roy II. SNYDER,
Secretary.
This hazlng has been INDUCED in
blythe three classes above mentioned
for many years. While it was not
considered as great evil by the
students 1t was found to be injur-
lous to the growth of this institu-
ton. The "Knlghts of the Slat''
had attained quite a wide reputa-
ton by the artistic manner in which
"Freshies' were frescoed. made to
chase smiles under the table, make
love to chairs, etc. After the stu.
dent becomes familiar with the col
lege life he looks at hazing from a
different point of view. He sees
its good points as well as its bad
ones. Many boys, we believe, have
been kept away from this institu-
ton through fear Of being hazed
and on account of this, it was
thought best to abolish the custom.
However, the present Freshman"
class is larger than it has been for
many years. They can now lie
down at night with d reasonable as
surance that their mbers will not
be disturbed and no longer needs
to dread the weird summons of the
"Grand Order" OF course the
distinctions between the classes will
remain the same as before and the
"Sophs" will still continue to con-
slider it their exclusive right to keep
the Freshman in their respected
places.

acquiescing in the confirmation Of

enemies to federal offices until

Supreme Court. Then he began
to prepare to fight back, ending
with a knockdown blow for MIR.

of the Hornblower nomination.

his most prominent New York
henchmen were known to be deeply
interested, some people say, IN a

showing that for that very reason
he was so very particular in all his
official acts up to the formation of
the provisional government that the
annexationists thought him opposed
to them. 1t is almost amusing to
hear of the anger felt by MIR. Cleye-
land and the cuckoo Democrats be-
cause of President Dole's plain
language to Minister Willis con-
cernlng his intrigues with the ex-
queen and his lack Of frankness In
dealing with the provisional gov

The bond issue announced by
Secretary Carlisle has turned the
Populists and majority of the
southern and western Democrats in
Congress into bowling deryishes,
and wild and infammatory talk is
INDUCED in by them, some of which
will be given an escape valve by the
resolution of Senators PETER and
Allen which will be made the text
for some speeches IN the Senate
this week. Whether the action of
Secretary Carlisle was proper one
is question that your correspond
ent Will not deal with at present,
but there is no doubt of It's legality,
even putting the strictest construc-
ton upon the authority conferred
by the act of 1875. That act au-
thorizes the issue of bonds for the
purchase of gold for the redemp-
ton of Treasury notes. Of course
everybody knows that this bond is
sue IS really to get money to meet
current obligations, the democratic
tariff policy having resulted in
causing the revenues to fall below
the amount needed, but 1t must be
plain to the humblest student Of
finance that it will be " very easy
matter for Mr.. Carlisle to comply
with the letter of that act by having
his friends, the Wall Street bank
ers, present Treasury notes for re-
demption in sufficient amounts to
require all the gold received from
the sale Of bonds, thus leaving him
the treasury notes to pay the ex-
penses of the government. True,
there will be little tnckery about
such IL plan, but that will be moth
ing new from the Dem ocratic adj
ministration.
