nrroLr or CADETs.

Forty-nine young men. who. about Ten

that they have been furlougheds put
they will hardly return to duty unless

The action left the corps without or

a rather awkward fix. The granting OF
the request as to future promotions was
n clear admission that the protestants
had a serious grievance, but the pledge
taken by the latter was fragrant insuoor-
dination that could not be ignored. The
citizens of Baton Rouge look upon the
trouble as a very grave one for the uni
versity. and have been trying to bring
about a compromise, but so far without
success. From the point Of view OF stu
dents generally another interesting ques-
ton Is involved. The furloughed cadets
not only claim that the system OF pro-
motion has for some time back been in
disregard of the question of merit, but
that the cadets promoted have. as
rule. been members of one particular

GENERAL LEE AND CuBA.

The Bristol News, just before the fac'
of the case was announced, said:
ut is rumored that Cleveland has sent
an emissary to Cuba to ascertain the uue
condition OF affairs there. The people are
anxious to know whether the secret agent
will report that a state of war exists, or
merely that the population OF the
island IS on the decrease, owing TO an
epidemic Of Spaniards.
The Dispatch said a few days before
General Lees appointment was made
that Mr.. Lincoln did not deem 1t I'M
worthy of his position to confer with the
REBELS" and we suggested that MT.
Cleveland might follow Mr. Lincoln
example Our suggestion was carried into
effect when Mr.. Cleveland appointed Gen.
eral Lee Consul-GeneraI at Habana-
1t has been said a thousand times, that
army and navy officers are always in
favor of the next war" But these off,
GERS are the victims of a long peace.
General Lee is not one Of that sort, but
can be trusted as safely as Mr.. Cleveland
himself to report to the American people
the condition of affairs in Cuba.

IT seems to us that the opinion OF the
City Attorney and the action OF the
Board of Aldermen in the case OF Mr..
Mann were right. Mr.. Mann was not
member of the Board, but Of the other
branch of the City Council, when the al
legged offence was committed by Dim.
Therefore the Board has no jurisdiction
in the matter. We long ago said that
inasmuch as Mr.. Mann bid for city
work in open competition with others,
and under his own name. no very heinous
offence was committed. That he violated
the law there is no doubt; but the miti-
eating circumstances are strong. 1t may
be possible for the two branches of the
City Council sitting in joint session and
acting as the City Council TO reprimand
MIR. Mann. but we do not sec how 1t can
be done In any other way; nor are we
sure that 1t would be properly done in
that way.

WHAT SENATOR DANIEL SAID.

AS we have heretofore said. our senior

Jefferson as that OF great statesman
who had In his lifetime favored the

THE STATE LIBRARY.

Why the State Library Is not patron
lied at night more than 1t is, we do not
know, but certainly 1t is not because the
public are not informed that 1t is open
to their use. The daily newspapers OF
this city have, in the aggregate, gwen
scores Of columns TO announcements OF
the fact that the library Is open at night.
Had the library paid for these advertise
ments, II would have cost thousands Of
dollars; but not a cent did 1t cost-all OF
this advertising was gratuity OF the
newspapers to the public, in the hope that
the public would avail themselves of the
privilege thus extended them.
1t may be that the library Is too FAR
down town to attract many visitors at
night. Be that as II may. II it Is not to
be more generally used than 1t has been
so far It cannot be expected that the
CITY Council will continue to make an
appropriation for the pay Of an assistant
librarian, or that the State will continue
to bear the charges incurred on its part
by keeping the building open after the
regular hours. But II the library is to be
closed at night we earnestly trust that
that rule will not be put into force until
after the Confederate reunion is held.
At that time tens OF thousands OF visi-
tors will be in the city, and we should
wish to have as many attractions as pos
slble with which to interest them, and
to magnify the Importance of our city.
SO, il the fat is to go forth against keep
ing the library open at night, we plead
for such an extension or time as Will
leave things in statu quo at least until
the reunion is held.
