Gen. F. II. Winston. Of Chicago. who has
been prominent in Democratic party coun-
els for many years, and was minister
20 Persia during Mr.. Cleveland's first ad-
ministration. declares that he cannot sup
port the Democratic congressional and
legislative tickets this year. He says he is
still a Democrat. but ne adds: "The con-
dition OF business, affairs is such that I
cannot at present. with due regard to my
own interests. do anything to help TO con-
tinue what 1 conceive TO be the disastrous
policy adopted BY the last Congress in
reference TO the business interests OF the
country" General winston's refusal to
vote the Democratic legislative ticket is
based on the ground that a Democratic
Legislature would elect a Democratic Sem
ator and thus aid in continuing the ma
aional policy which has proved so dis
astrous to the business interests OF the
country.

While it is quite likely that the details
of the recent hazing affair at Purdue Uni
versity have been exaggerated, there is no
doubt that a great outrage was committed.
The fact that the university has a strict
rule against hazing only shows that its
laws, as we'll as the laws of the land. were
violated by the preparation OF a personal
assault. for which the offenders. if they
can be discovered, ought to suffer severe
penalty. 1t is to be hoped the faculty of
Purdue will spare no pains to discover the
perpetrators of the outrage and bring them
to merited punishment.

The Board of Education in Chicago is
being censured in some quarters for having
ordered the closing of the public schools
on Oct. 10 for the purpose of permitting
the pupils to participate in a temperance
parade which is to be held on that day.
The censure comes from G~erman-Amer
cans who regard the action of the board
as an attempt TO influence the pupils in
favor of total abstinence. At a meeting of
those opposed to the action of the board
resolutions were adpoted declaring among
other things. that 1.-The temperance agita-
ton is foreign to our public schools and
should not be permitted to enter into their
management" The position of the prot
estants is not happily chosen. The action
of the board might wen be criticised on
the ground that too many holidays inter-
fere with school work. but not many Amer
leans will agree with the position that
temperance agitation. or, to use a less Of
fensive term, temperance instruction,
should be excluded from the public schools.
However people may differ in regard to
temperance legislation. no reasonable per-
son should object TO children being in
structed concerning the physiological and
hyg:enic effects OF intemperance. Several
of the States have enacted laws making
such instruction compulsory, not with a
view of coercing public school pupils. but
simply of informing them. The champions
Of personal rights should not claim too
