DRESS IN OUR UNIVERSITIES.

The disposition of modern Americans
to ape the ways and customs of older
nations, after having gotten on comfort
ably without them for more than a
century, has not escaped the notice OF
all our more observing journalists. In
matters OF public service, such ss the
army, navy, river steamboats, or railway
work, it is we'll enough to have a uni
form so as to fix responsibility on the
proper person III the event OF disaster.
But in educational institutions there
should be no uniform or livery. Every
student should be compelled to main
ain proper degree of personal neat
ness, outside of which his attire is of
nobody's business.
Several days ago there came near be-.
ing tirst-class row at the California
state university. 1t seems the presi-
dent issued orders regarding the wear
ing OF certain hat, making its use com
pulsory upon the co-editora OF the uni
versity journal, freshmen and sopho.
mores alike. This mortar board" hat
has been worn in the English universi-
ties for years, but just why Americans
should wear it On compulsion is not
altogether clear. An item in one of the
Oakland papers stated that "the sopho-
mores Indignantly resented the wearing
of their class hat by the freshmen.
and, if persisted in by the president,
the order will be likely to result in
violence"
Now. this is a nice how-d'-ys- do, lie

tion where young men can get an educA-

Ex-Presidsnt Harrison, in the course
Of short address on Stanford univer.
sity day at the midwinter fair, three
weeks ago, made some weighty remarks
opposite to the tendency of eastern uni
versities to fashion in everything after
the English institutions OF learning. He
said that our eastern universities we're
trying to copy after Cambridge and Ok
ford in their most Objectionable fea-
lures, and were turning out poor imita-
tions oi English graduates instead of q
sturdy type of Americans. He looked
for the universities on the Pacific coast
to establish the scholarship and psrpet-
uste the independence of the American
character. They were too distant from
the insular influences of the English
seats OF learning to be contaminated by
their most Objectionable features, and
the wholesome genius of our western
civilization would perpetuate that inde-
pendent msnliness which should char.
acterize and accsntuste the best type of
the American educated gentleman of the
future. These words are as timely Rs
they are weighty.
The colleges and universities need .
little pruning and q little toning down.
In the last forty years they have become
law unto themselves until the legisls-
lures of New York and other states have
been obliged to interpose their authority
and pass laws to prevent "hSsing" and
similar evils which seemed entirely
beyond the reach of the professors them
selves. A bill of this sort received the
official approval Of Governor Flower. the

passed before 1t was needed.

The election for q member of the city
council takes place in the Eighth ward
today, to ill the vacancy created by the
resignation of Mr.. John T. Gsffey. There
are four candidates, as follows: Hugh
]. Smith, regular Democratic nominee /;
W. N. Bailey, regular Republican nomi-
nee; Fred Holbrook, independent Re-
publican, and Manuel Ordoqui, inde-
pendent Democrat. The Republicans
now have five representatives in the
council, and If they elect their nominee
in the Eighth ward they will have six
a two'thirds party vote. which is suti-
cient to carry all money measures, and
to pass any ordinance over the mayors
veto. We doubt whether the people
OF this city desire to see the council
turned into pure one-party body. and
the bars let entirely down so that the
Republicans can control the city purse
without any effective check whatever
upon them. This il a very interesting
feature OF the questions involved in this
days election, and the taxpayers of the
Eighth ward should give it serious con-
sideration in casting their votes. The
safety OF the taxpayers is best subserved
in municipal legislature when party
control is held under the check of
strong opposition, which can be made
effective to prevent the successful for
nation of spoiating rings. The public
interest will be aubserved By the elec-
tion of Hugh ]. Smith, who is a capable
and fit candidate.

THE RIAL CRIMINALS.

An ancient philosopher once said: "If
the laws of a country are 80 oppressive
that people must needs violate them to
obtain the necessaries OF life, it is not
those who break the laws that ought to
be punished, but those who made the
laws"
This is sound doctrine, and If put in
operation in our time would greatly as
tonish the world. Very many OF the
crimes with which men are charged flow
directly from bad, unjust and oppressive
legislation. 1t is undeniable that nearly
all the financial legislation of congress
for the last thirty years has been in ia
vor of the rich against the poor. Bond
holders, corporations. and money-chang-
ers have engaged the attention of our
statesmen to the utter neglect of the pro-
ducing classes. The absorbers of wealth,
and not the producers OF it. have ruled
the country and ruled it with rod OF
iron. Matters lave been growing stead
lily worse until a elimination has sp-
parently been reached. The beunties of
nature were never more profuse, and yet
millions of laboring people are out of
employment and millions of women and
innocent children are on the verge OF
starvation.
The spectacle is presented of large
bodies Of men marching upon the
capital OF the nation to protest
against this most unjust and dis
astrous policy OF the government, and
these people are met at their destina-
tion with q charge of vagrancy, q charge
that may be we'll founded. but the 6rst
question to be asked ia, who made them
vagrants? There is no reason in the
nature OF things why a large share of
the labor of this country should be un-
able to find employment. If these men
are made vsgrants by the operation OF
our laws, then those who made the laws
ought first to be punished.
The financial 'legislstion of this
country has choked to death a very
large share of its industries. The bond
holders, bankers, public creditors and
over-psmpered corporations have en-
forced their demands for restriction of
the currency until the amount in circu-
lation is wholly inadequate to the de-
manda of business, and as a conse-
quence business has fallen off and men
by thousands are thrown out of employ
ment. The situation is serious and de.
mands for it's solution careful thought
rather than hssty passion. The first in
quiry should be: What has caused 80
many vagrants; and if it comes from
bad and unjust management of public
affairs, who should be held responsible2
Not those who violate the laws, but
those who made them should sometimes
be punished.

Sousa's famous band will give three

ago Sousa gave two concerts here at the
pavilion, crowding the building to the
doors on each occasion. The band un-
der his leadership at that time was
known ss the Washington Marine band.
Sousa's ability and cleverness as a mu-
sician, ss we'll as conductor, made the
Marine band one Of the best in the coun-
try. Something over q year ago he sew
cred his connection as director of the
band he had made go famous and
accepted a proposition from Mr.. D.
Blakely, a Chicago capitalist, and re-
ceived carte blanche to engage the best
available musicians in the country,
which he was not long in doing. Sousa's
success with his new band was instan-
taneous, and at once challenged the at
tention and respect of all the best mu-
sical critics. His engagement at the
Columb bian exposition was the one grand
musical success during the entire time.
