That the deadlock still exists in the

Prior to adjournment, Mr.. Leary, OF

1--WE have been living for twenty
eight years upon a pious mlsunder-
standing, and it is surprising that 1t
can have lasted so long. We have
placed, side by side, an army and a
democracy. Now. it is only too true
that these two institutions have as their
foundation contradictory principles. If
you weaken the army you imperil ma
tional independence; if YOU maintain its
traditions and its rights, civil society
takes fright on behalf Of liberty. II is
the torment of the present generation
to be thus pulled hither and thither be
tween these two opposite ideals
These are the words Of a distinguish
ed Frenchman 1t is impossible for
Americans to realize the exalted po-
siton which the army holds in France.
To it the people have made great sacri-
fees, and as this writer shows, for
it they have imperiled their liberties.
1t is their ideal and their idol. Hence,
whenever suspicion or dispersion is cast
upon it, as in the Dreyfus case, the
natural impulse of the people is one of
Indignation, rage and incredulity.
Whom can we trust if not the army?"
they ask.
But the Frenchmau's words have a
bearing upon the expansionist craze
in America. If our supposed new pos
sessions are not coming in as territor-
les eligible for statehood (and nobody
believes they should ever become
states), we shall be building up the
same sort of political anomaly as the
French, either placing side by side
an army and a democracy" or estab-
fishing a despotic rule in the colonies
We shall introduce into the political
fabric an element antagonistic to the
characteristic American idea, and an
tagonistic to republican form OF
government The despotic mill
tary principle is recognized as
menace to the republic OF
France; how will it be in the United
States?

AGAINST MULTIPLICATION

A protest against co-education in
institutions of academic rank has come
from an unexpected quarter The I'M
dergraduates of Wesleyan University
are the compliments, and they seem
to have the sympathy Of a considerable
body of the alumni. The young men
and those who speak for them make
haste to explain that they have no
fault to find with the young women.
On the contrary, they like them per-
sonally, but it is getting to be a case
of "two's company and three's none. p"
The women students are increasing
faster than the men, so that the
margin between sexes is thirty more
than it was a year ago.
This is regarded as unfortunate and
even threatening to the standing of the
university as a college for men. 1t is
pointed out that the tendency of wom-
en- to monopolize the college nearly
wrecked Colby University and in or
der to save the institution it was ne
cessary to divide it and have two col

SALE OF SHIPS,
Col. Hecker Says Abner
Mckinley Had No Part.

Washington Dec. 9-The transports-
ton to Spain by the United States Of
Spanish prisoners surrendered at Sam
tiago was taken up by the war investi-
eating commission today and Col
Hecker who made the contract for tbe
United States, was recalled to testif,.
on this point.
He said there had been a combine of
New York shipping concerns which
would have caused an outlay OF 81 4o1
600, while the actual outlay made was
S5l3, 600. The lowest bid was from a
Philadelphia junk dealer, who. how
ever, had no visible means of executive
the contract and admitted his own
doubt as to getting sufficient bond. This
Philadelphia Col. Hecker testified
protested against not being awarded
the contract, on the ground that he han
a chance to make some money out nf
it. The most feasible bidder was the
Spanish Transatlantlca Companv
Their bid, unlike the Others removed
the government of all medical attention
and finally on the governments repre-
sentatiOn the company reduced its Gq
ures $4,000 What induced the govern
ment to send these people to Spain was
asked.
Don't know The terms Of suTender
provided for it, Col. Hecker read
long statement signed by one William
L. Ryan detailing the method Of
| TRANSPORTATION.
Col. Hecker said he did not know
Ryan. Several members of the commits
sion said they would be glad to sum
mon Ryan if he could be found. Asked
if he was ever approached by Abner
Mckinley relative to the purchase of
ships, Col. Hecker replied: Never but
once. He spoke to me about water
barge for which there was no use at
the time, and l so informed him I
never had any other communication
! from him directly or indirectly"
What part did the firm Of Abner
Mckinley play in the sale of ships q"
asked Ex-Governor Woodbury.
None at all as to the army re
piled Col. Hecker. Il do not know as to
the navy
Asked as to Ryan's charge that there
was subordinate, in Col. Heckers
Office who exercised much influence
! Col Hecker replied that the negota-
| tons We're conducted directly and that
no subordinate in the office could have
| exercised any influence. That was the
| first direct charge Of corruption he had
! seen against himself, as he considered
! himself responsible for what went on
in his Office. He should he said. like O.
| be confronted with Ryan. The com
| mission decided to summon Ryan if he
! could be found.

leges, much like Harvard and Rad
cHffe. A similar fate at one time
threatened Boston University, but the
crisis was averted. There is no gain
saying the earnestness of the feeling
at Wesleyan however, but it remains
to be seen what will come of it. The
present statement is, that unless rad
zeal measures are soon taken, Wesleyan
will become essentially a Woman's col
Iege, and that is not a gratifying des-
ignation either to the male alumni or
the male undergraduates.

The court of cessation, the most

shown that it possesses the courage OF
its convictions. 1t is true that a con
siderable body of public opinion was
favorable to the action of the court in
suspending the court-martial of Pic
quart, but in the main, popular feeling
was against it. There has been for
years so much hooking of justice in
Paris, that it is reassuring to see the
courts disregarding the clamor Of the

Party spirit has run high and waxed
warm since the loss of the Portland
over the relative merits of side-wheel
steamers and propellers, and the mind
of the laity may be pardoned if it be
somewhat confused when the experts
themselves disagree. The conclusion
seems to be that if the paddle wheelers
were built as they are in England, but
seldom or never are built in this coun-
try, they might be as safe as the screw
steamers, and no doubt would be much
more comfortable for passengers.
