IG'S VIEW OF THE SITUATION.


There is a humorous poem concern
ing an adoring swain who married a
beautiful girl, and when they retired
for the night, she took off her golden
tresses on chair: then she removed
her false teeth and laid them by
the hair: the plumpness from her
cheeks followed suit: the various "pad-
dings' increased the pile; and then an
artificial leg was unstapped. The as
tonished husband viewed all these pro-
ceedings with horror, in doubt, as the
poem said, whether

bed,
Or sit up with the portion that's piled

perplexities which fills the Populist DO.

LIKES NELSON.

The Herald admires the courage of
our junior senator, the sturdy Nelson,
whom the Republicans of this State
have so often honored. He has built
for himself a reputation in the senate
which will be permanent. He is not
fowery orator, nor yet does he aspire
to be an astute statesman, but he is
simply an honest man and an untiring
worker. He champions those causes
which he believes to be best and he
does it so ardently that his influence
is always felt. Would that we had
more practical men in the upper
house of congress and fewer schemers
and wild theorists. The nation would
be better off and the return of prosper
ity would be no longer delayed

EASY TO DO.

Spaniards in Cuba appear to be
somewhat worked up by the free ex-
pressions that are made of the senti-
ment existing in this country in favor
of the Cubans. One fire-eating sheet
published in Havana expresses itself
thus vigorously: Greatly, the airs put
on by those Americans require ener
getic action on the part of the Spanish
people. Let it be demonstrated aside
from diplomatic methods that the
Spanish people despise the jingoes of
the United States and know how to
spit in their faces one hundred tines

WHEN the Democratic party took up
the free coinage of silver as an issue
last year it discarded the tariff issue
forever. But the action of the senate
in showing undue tenderness to the
sugar trust will, if it stands, have the
effect of furnishing the Democratic
party a pretext for again taking up
the discarded idea. If the Republi.
cans desire to enact tariff laws which
will be lasting they must show impair

And We Saw HAmen!o

TO the Editor:-One of the proudest
moments Princeton ever had came
Monday evening at the graduation ex-
ercises of the High school class at Jes-
mer's Opera house. It was an eye
opener, and surprise, and an inspira-
ton four hours long, and not dull
minute anywhere. From first to last
it was a grand success, and certainly
marks an epoch for the entire fabric of
our social life.
There is something d lot better
for our young people than leaving
school at fifteen, and cumming the
streets. And we all see it now as we
never saw it before. The exercises
were a mental uplift to all who we're
fortunate enough to witness them, and
must have stirred the desire in more
than one breast to emulate the exam
pie of those who have pushed this
course of study to triumphant end.
With such a school in our midst
there is something noble for every
child in Princeton to try for; and such
a brilliant social event as came to US
Monday night furnishes incentives by
the way to grip right to this matter of
getting an education until it is grandly
finished.
The community owes a deep debt of
gratitude to those who have brought
our schools to their present excellence,
and to their co-laborers who are not
only holding them there, but pushing
them still forward.
We do we'll to make much of gradua-
ton day; we crown ourselves when we
crown with honor those who have
shown appreciation of the value of an
education, and who have the stuff to
stay right by the school till they get
it. They merit praise, and we say,
bravo! BravO!''

Spanish cruelty in the Philippine
