THE PLUCKED CADETS.

By order of the Secretary of War
the West Point cadets who were dis
missed after the January examination
are to be given another chance for mill

for deficiency in this examination.

partment of the army, winnie" Han
cock, grandson of the late department
commander, also failed, but he was
given another chance.
Colonel Ward went to Washington
several days ago and lodged a COM
plant of favoritism against the exam
lining board. Secretary Lamont gave
his personal attention to the matter,
but at first refused to act, on the ground
that it was not within his jurisdiction.
There the matter rested until Saturday
night, when Col. Ward returned to his
headquarters on Governors Island with
the, announcement that the examining
board would reconsider the entire batch
OF thirty cadets who were discharged.
II believe the dismissals were order
ed by the board without the knowledge
of extenuating circumstances covering
the cases of my son and of young Lee"
said Colonel Ward. I'm view of this
fact reconsideration has been ordered.

TIE republicans say the government
is in straits for lack of money; that lis
receipts do not equal its expenditures.
But though they have the means at
hand tor reducing the latter and In
cressing the former, they don't even
consider them. A tax on surplus in
comes would produce all the revenue
that might be desired, and a just and
proper purging of the pension list
would cut down the expenditures to at
least reasonable proportions. Instead
of doing either, however, they are en-
larging the number of pensioners and
are preparing tariff bill that will not
only reduce the receipts, by diminish
ing imports, but also abstract the gold
from the Treasury and necessitate the
issue of more gold bonds, by forcing
the payment of foreign creditors with
gold instead OF with the plentiful prod
nets of this country. But, owing to
democratic boilers, the republicans
have got this country, and it is theirs
to do with as may suit their whims.
