MISSOURI FUSION FIGURING.
A Populist Congressional Nominees
Proposal-The Chairmen Confer.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. ia. Ell. Livings-
ton, Populist nominee for Congress in
the Fourteeth district, has proposed
to w. 8. Vandiver, the Democratic
nominee, to refer the question of the
withdrawal of one and fusion on the
other to the Democratic and Populist
State committees, the majority vote OF
the two combined to determine. Liv-
ingston was until 1898 a Democrat and
was an applicant for United States At
torney for the eastern district of Mis-
souri,, and was then in accord with the
President on the money question.
1t is stated. that Democratic Chair
man Cook and Populist Chairman
Rozelle held two hours conference
yesterday in regard to electoral fusion.
Cook asked for support of the Demo-
cratic State ticket in return for four
Populist electors. Rozelle held that
the Democrats should concede to the
Populists two places on the State tick
ct and three or four congressman, and
declared that he would not concede
less than that. Cook was much pleased
with the Livingston proposition and it
is possible that full fusion may be ar
ranged on that basis.

The Right Treatment for Hazing.
From The Ch4cao E2aaor.i


Common sense must approve Pres
ident Cleveland's action in refusing
to tighten the extreme penalty of dis
missal passed upon two West Point
students who were convicted of haz-
ing. Without mincing words or
making any sentimental allowances
for the "mischievous spirit of YOUTH"
the President denounces the practice
in good round terms. He says haz-
ing is $50 mean and cowardiy and so
opposed to every trait that should
characterize gentleman and a true
soldier that severe punishment should
not be necessary to its prevention"
Now that some of the West Point Of
tenders have stopped to it, Mr.. Cleve-
land finds that he has no other course
than to "resist all appeals for Glenn
ency."
The Justice of the decision is OBJ
vious, and it's exemplary effect should
be strong. At West Point, of course,
hazing is particularly offensive, being
not only contemplate, but an actual
infraction of military discipline. But
the college faculties throughout the
country would do well to act upon
Mr.. Cleveland's precept in the case
of civilian schools also. Hazing has
lived as long as it has because of the
disposition to excuse it as one of the
follies inseparable from high spirited
youth. The excuse is worthless; the
business of college is to discourage
'the follies of youth" when they take
a violent and ugly form.

SAVED TWO CENTS.
How It Cost a Chicago Man Two Dol

From the Chicago Post.

From the ChlcagO fost
He looked at his Communication ticket
and swore softly to himself.
"What's the matter?" inquired his
wife.
"I put postage stamp in my pocket
book" he replied, "and it's stuck to
my Communication ticket"
80, well, the tickets still good,
isn't it?" she asked.
"Good!" he exclaimed. "Of course
it's good, but you don't suppose Pm
going to furnish soulless corporation
like a railroad company with postage
stamps, do you? You don't imagine
I'll submit to a tax of tive cents for
buying the ticket? You don't seemto
grasp the situation. Pm the one who
has the kick coming, not the railroad
company"
"I don't believe I'd bother about it,
john" she said, pleasantly. "If the
conductor will accept the ticket, ,I'd-"
"You'd pay the company a bonus
for carrying you," he interrupted,
"but l won't. It's the principle of the
thing that / object to, not the paltry
financial consideration"
"Can't you get the stamp off with a
knife?" she asked.
"Certainly," he replied, sarcastic
ally. 81 can cut it out with a knife OF
pair of scissors, or it might be done
with an AK or a chisel, but you forget
that want to save the ticket. The
railroad company is making enough
out of me when ride, after paying
the regular rate of fare"
'Then soak it off," she suggested.
"Now you are beginning to have a
little glimmerIng of sense" he return
ed. 81 thought you would get around
to my idea if gave you plenty Of
time"
1t was two hours later that she ask
ed him how long he intended to leave
that ticket in soak.
"Great mackereli' he cried; and
after he had looked at what was lef
of the ticket and done a.little figuring
he added: 1.-TWO dollars and thirt,
cents for a two-cent stamp. 1t ISM
worth it."

POPULIsT COMMITTEE.
Decision Reached Not to Call Watson
OF.

WASHINGTON, ID. e., august 1s.--
The Populist Executive Committee
decided to stand by Watson for Vice
President.
"What action did the committee
take with regard to the withdrawal
Of Bryan or Watson from the Fopu-
list ticketf" was asked Of Senator
Butler, the Chairman Of the commit
tee.
"The Peoples party ticket as nam
ed at st. Louis" replied Senator But
ler, sis Bryan and Watson, and that
will be the Peoples party ticket un-
til the polls close in November. Mr..
Bryan lis as much our candidate as MIR.
Watson, and as far as this committee
has the power it will strive just az
hard to elect one as the other, and
will leave nothing in its power un'
done to help either or both, but II
win not help one candidate at the eI'
pense OF the other"
Populists headquarters will be To-
Gated In this city and Senator Butler
and Secretary Edgerton will be IL
