HAZING Avn WEST POINT.
Cadet Pope Slept on Guard and the
Fun was Fast and Furious.

West Point, n. Y, Aug. 16.-Cadet F.
A. Pope, member of the third class,
who halls from Kansas, is a prisoner
in the guard tent at Camp Warren. On
Wednesday evening after supper Pope
was one of the five extra guards placed
in the company street. This detail is
outside the regular guard. Lately the
hazing has been fierce, and the COM
mandant decided to have extra guards.
Pope was assigned to Company b
street, in which a great many 'plebs''
live, and told to look out for hazing.
Wednesday is hop night, and Pope
cursed his luck taht he could not be at
the hop.
The music of the hop could be heard
by him. All was quiet as he plodded
up and down, wishing it were tattoo,
to be relieved. Passing an open tent,
he entered, and placing his musket be-
tween his knees, fell asleep. In a short
time Company B was very much alive
with noise and confusion. The officer
in charge, hearing the racket, sent his
derby returned, to say there was no
sentinel in Company B street. After a
long search they found him. They car
ried him off to the guard house. w.
c. Stacy of Ohio, who is in the hos
pital suffering from a case of hazing,
still refuses to reveal the names of his
tormentors.
w NJ Cody of Michigan and E E
Evans of Ohio are in confinement for
refusing to tell the names of hazers.

case of the State VS.. Judge Williams.
the fragrant espousal by Judges Collier
and Stowe of the New York and Cleve-
land Gas and Coal company against
the striking miners, the outrageous in
junction against Eugene V. DebS, the
order of Judge Mccormick restraining
the railroad commissioners of Texas in
favor of the express companies, and the
high handed order of Judge Sanborn
to proceed with the, sale of the Union
Pacific road are all calculated to arouse
the people to a sense of the danger
lurking in federal courts. Surely the
corporate powers back of these judges
are possessed of that madness which
the gods bring on for destruction;
"Win silver be an issue in 1902"
"Most assuredly. Silver is likely to

to compel the holders OF our debts TO

Free coinage is needed to stimulate the
silver mining industry and thus IN
crease the opportunities for employ

into the American belief that American
products have divine right to protec-

Permit one who has for many years
been a close student of economics and
who always uses economic terms in
their exact meaning, to protest against
the loose and misleading use of lam
guage by those who speak of public
ownership of land and public utilities
as socialism, Socialism,, as an eco
nonnic term, has among scholars a def
mite meaning, and that is the Ger
man state socialism of Carl Marx, which
means the military organization of in
dustry under state bosses and the abo-
Htion of private property and
of personal freedom. This, and moth
ing else, is the meaning of the word
Public ownership of monopolieS is not
socialism, but necessary to full individ-
