COLLEGE STUDENTS.

The killing of servant and the SER
ious illness otseveral students at Cor
mel, by the Introduction ofchlorine gas
in the dining-room, by a person un-
known but supposed to be a student,
for fun,is species of outrage, nearly
connected with hazing. There cannot
be fun in injuring or killing people
aud the bomb of the anarchist is as
honorable as the methods of college
students. 1t will take Cornell years
to outlive this catastrophe and it
must be a vile mind, not a Students
mind that plans and formulates such
crimes.

Changable weather.


Miss B. M. Foltz at this writing is
visiting friends near Broad Lane.
Miss Virgie Wilhelm is the guest
of Miss S. Byers.
There were but few people on the
road on last Monday in consequence
of the snow.
Our county Superintendent and
editors of Martinsburg should. be
commended for having taken the
pains and labor to place before the
public the programme of the Gradu-
atlng System furnished by Hon.
Virgil A. Lewis, State Supt. of free
schools. We trust that the articles
have been read and profited by the
patrons of Berkeley county, at least.
Anarchists are not all dead, for,
we are informed that an attempt was
made to blow up the teacher at Ce-
dar Grove in Falling Waters district
last week. The fue was stuffed
with straw which concealed nitro
glycerine. The desks near the stove
had been removed, it is supposed, to
protect them from injury, but this
caused Mr.. Davis to suspicion that
there was something wrong. Luck
lily, no harm was done.
The most interesting feature of
the Bedington school this winter is
debating class, which was organiz-
ed on the % of February. Their
first discussion occurred on Friday
the % among IA pupils, 10 boys and
2 girls. The question discussed was
"Resolved, That water has been more
destructive to human life and prop
erty than fire." The teacher and
Others were very much surprised at
the able manner in which the cues.
ito was handled on both sides. Each
speaker was allowed Is minutes in
which to speak. The next debate
will be on Friday, March 9 at 80

The Hawaiian Report.

At last we have the report of the
senate committee ON oreignssrelation
touching the Hawaiian matter. 1t
is signed by the Democratic chair
man and by all the Republican mem
bers. The report bears some of the
best names in the senate. 1t con-
tains no word of consolation for
President Cleveland. From begin
ming to end it takes Hawaii under
the wing of the United States be-
cause this is where it belongs his
torically as a civilized state. 1t
declares the right of civilization to
dominate barbarism.
1t says that the queen was the real
author of the revolution and that her
throne had no respectable moral or
physical support. 1t approves the
landing of the armed forces of the
United States and everything else
done by the Harrison administra-
ton except the act of setting up the
protectorate, an act which was dis
avowed by that administration it.
self
Although the resolution of inqui-
ry did not cover the question of
annexation, the committee is care
full to show that it is in favor of that
policy. Two of its members, and
these Democrats declare over their
signatures that they favor annexa-
ton.
A very striking feature OF the re.
port is the declaration that the exc
cutive authority OF this government
is continuous and is not to be brok.
en- by changes in the administra-
ton, as that term is understood
BY this the committee means to say
that is was unseemly for President
Cleveland to change abruptly the
Hawaiian policy of this government
as he found it when he went into Of
fee.
While President Cleveland is not
condemned IN terms, the whole re-
port is condemnation of his policy
towards Hawaii. The document
bears on its face the compromise of
agreement touching essentials to
give the report strong fiber and a
tone of Americanism that should be
very acceptable to the country. 1t
contains good deal of wholesome
instruction for President Cleveland.

LOCALISM IN TARIFF.

The Philadelphia Press in a we'll
written article calls attention to the
fact, that, the present tariff fight IS
a conflict between Democrats. 1t is
3 struggle between the localists and
the wreckers.p The terseness of the
assertion is good and can be read as
finger boards on the high way. Lou
isiana is lighting for sugar, Alabama
for iron ore, Maryland and West
Virginia for coal, and the latter also
for lumber. 1t is not only localism
but sectionalism. Are the general
interests of the country to be thus
controlled ? Where are the farmers
with their wool, cereal and other
products? Where are the factories
and their thousands of employees rep
resenting many more thousands Of
mouths in families ? Are they not
to be protected with these local
interests 4? Is it fair for Alabama,
Louisiana, Maryland and West Vir,
ginia to control tariff bill for their
specialties and not extend the same
protection to the same protection to
the country generally against foreign
imports. Gentlemen, please be fair
to yourselves and the country and
We also agree in the concluding re,
marks of the Press, viz:
The bill should be resisted in
every possible way and every posi-
bic device. 1t should be delayed
and recommitted and STAYED f,with
the hope of securing its ultimate de-
feat. No plea ofseeking a speedy de-
termination for the sake of removing
uncertainty should avail. Better
four or five months of uncertainty
than four or five years Of prolonged
calamity. Fight it to the bitter
end.n
