THE WESTERN SHERIFF.
One of Them who Jumped Into the

Midst of Rifles When Ordered 20
Halt.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Sheriff McI.ain walks the streets Of Ur-
bana, o., a marked man. He is looked up
on as one who, when the crisis was at
hand. slgnaliy failed In the performance
of his duty. When his nerve weakened at
the threats and curses OF the mob that
surged about the square In front OF the
iai. not only was II the silent signal OF
the negro rapist's doom, but II blasted his
reputation as a man and officer OF the law.
In the reaction that followed the sicken-
ing exhibition OF brute fury this derelic-
ton Of duty was made prominent. His
conduct. the escape through a rear door
az the moment when "A mob was clamor-
ing for the keys of the jail, viewed in the
coolest light, was reprehensible. There
were no mitigating circumstances. His
word had been given on oath to uphold the
law Of his state, even at the expense OF his

first intimation OF peril he deserted his
post, virtually surrendering the Jail and its

CHARGED WITH CONTEMPLATING.
Secret Service officer Makes an Inn
pOrtant Arrest.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 21.-Capt. Porter of
the United States secret service Last night
arrested v B. Traven, a Frenchman, who
was, according to Capt. Porter, about to
make counterfeit money. Traven says
that he was going to make labels for a
Cuban planter, and that the planter desir-
ed his labels made in the shape of a
S. note. He seems to be rather hazy as to
the identity of the planter who ordered the
labels.
John Williams, who was a helper of Ira
ven, was also arrested. No spurious
money was found, but, for all that, the
government officials regard the arrest as
an important one. Williams has been ar
rested before for making counterfeit
money.

COLLEGE MORALS.

In the latest published reports OF Har.
ward College there is one from l.. b. r.
Bri gs, Dean of the college, calling atten-
ton to the serious matter of the existence
of double standard of morals among the
students. 1t seems that to whatever ex-
tent the students may be right or wrong
their conceptions of what is honest are
causing the faculty considerable embar-
rassment in the management of the uni
versity.
By one of the standards of morals recog-
nized at Harvard liar, clearly known as
such, Is despised and socially Stunned,
but by the other the man who hands in as
his own work what he has copied from
the writings of another man is not re-
garded as having done anything dishon-
orable. II the student tries by copying 10
win scholarships and prizes he is con-
demned by his fellows, but in ordinary
examinations where failure 10 make a
good showing would put the student in
danger OF losing his degree his com.
panions condone the offense. They re-
gard the man as having missed an educa-
tional opportunity, but consider the loss
as his own, and conclude that for the fac
uity to suspend him would be unjust.
Some samples of the kind of excuses of
fered are given by the Dean, and among
The San Francisco call., 1897-02-14

them the amusing one of q student who
sal that he copied from book so well
known that the instructor could not posi-
Oily suppose he meant to deceive; that he
agreed with Thackeray's ideas and could
not Improve on his language.
The Dean holds that such practices are
clear cases OF lying, and he makes COM
parlson with the case of a man invited to
lecture before society of gentlemen and
who reads without acknowledgment an
other mans work. This offense is not
breach OF rules merely, but il is ciear-cut
fraud. Such man may well be forgiven
by friends. but till time and thought have
changed him he cannot be accounted
trustworthy.
Another offense to which the Dean calls
attention Is what the students call rag
glng" signs, and consider a mere frolic,
free from any. dishonor. The Dean says
that these signs are other mems prop
erty, which have cost money, and which
money alone can replace, and therefore
the man that takes them is thief, and
moreover a thief without the excuse OF
hunger or poverty.
There have for some time back been
complaints from the students that they
were pestered by superfuity of rules; as
1t they were mere children, to be governed
IN every little detail of conduct. This re-
port OF Dean Briggs would indicate that
there are two sides to the question, and
that the students have not so completely
put away the froIicsomeness of boyhood
as to be rightly freed from the restraints
that might be an indignity TO mature men.

THE LINCOLN BANQUET.

The banquets held by Republican organ
izatlons In various sections OF the Union
in cele ebration of the birthday OF Abraham
Lincoln afford striking contrast 10 those
which were held by Democrats in celebra-
ton cf Jackson's day. The salient feature
of the Democratic feasts was the intensity
OF the antagonism between the various
factions OF the party, while that OF the
Republican celebrations was the harmony
which prevails throughout the whole
organization in all the States of the
Union.
The only State in which there is at this
time even a suggestion of Republican dis
cord is Ohio, and the celebration of Lin
coins birthday in that State gave ample
evidence that these suggestions come more
from the desire of Democrats than from
anything in the actual condition of he
party. The chief banquet OF the day in
Ohio was held in GAINESVILLE, where the
Republican League Convention in the
State had jus. been held. AT this banquet
there appeared the leaders of both the So
called factions. There were present Gov
ernor Bushnell and Marcus A. Hanna,
between whom, according to the Demo-
of any speech nor one action of any guest
at the banquet gave particle of eviden ce
to confirm the Democratic assertions of
party division in the State. The proceed
ing throughout were full Of harmony and
party loyalty and it was made amply
manifest that in Ohio, as well as elsewhere
the Republican party stands united in it's
opposition to the common foe and in its
determination to maintain the welfare of
the Republic
The most pablo speeches OF the occa-
sion were those made by Hon. William
a. White OF Kansas at the Ohio banquet
and By Governor Pingree of Michigan at
Chicago. Mr.. White pointed out the rea-
son why Kansas has fallen from the Re-
publican column, and showed by what
means it can be brought back to its former
loyalty. Governor Pingree spoke of the
important subject of municipal reform
and the duty of the Republican party
with regard to it. and outlined a policy in
which, it is safe to say, he will have the
cordial support of Republicans every
where.
Since the two great parties of the coun-
try have, by common consent, selected the
anniversary of the battle of New Orleans
and the anniversary OF the birthday OF
Lincoln as feast days, it would be we'll ii
the observance were made more general
throughout the Union. There ought to be
Republican banQuets in every important
town in the United States on Lincoln s
birthday, and there ought also to be Dem
ocratic banquets equally universal on the
day which has been chosen to do honor to
Andrew Jackson. Such gatherings have
more than mere partisan effect. They
serve to recall the fundamental principles
of political parties and the memories OF
the great statesmen and heroes of the
country. Certainly San Francisco should
vie with Eastern cities IN maintaining
these memorial days, and we trust that in
future it will do so
