A Professor Explains.

Harvard University is waking up to the
fact that it Is not in touch with the peo-
ME and that if it wants to retain its po-
sition as the leading educational institu-
ton Of the country it will have to get rid
of Prof. Norton, whose recent unpartouc
utterances have subjected the university
TO very severe criticism. The professor
told the students that there was no honor
10 be gained by taking part in sueh an
needless and inglorious war; and he char
acterized the war policy of the govern
ment as criminal He said great deal
more that was calculated 10 lead the
alumni and students of Harvard to with
hold their sympathy and support from the
government, so far as the prosecution of
the war with Spain was concerned.
His address, which was made to the
students Of his class. excited a great al
of comment of which the professor retus-
ed to take any notice. but the singing
criticism by Senator Hoar called out
reply from him. He now says that more
is being made of his utterances than they
deserve. and he pretends TO be very in
d;gnant because he is not permitted to
say what he pleases in condemnation of
the war without being called TO account
for it.
His indignation does not impress the
neonle very profoundly. They regard him
as lacking in patriotism, and if they had
their say about it he wouldn't be connect
ed with Harvard University very long.
They have a higher appreciation Of Sena-
tor Hoar than they ever had before, and
they are giving the senator unstinted
praise for showing up the professor in
his true colors.
Whatever view the people may have had
of the war when it was begun they have
only one view now, and that Is 10 carry
it on vigorously to successful conclu-
sion. They are standing by the govern
ment. as all good citizens should, and
they have no use for man who not only
refuses to stand by his country when it is
struggling with an enemy but strives to
create the impression that his country Is
in the wrong and shouldn't have the
support of its citizens.
If Harvard harbors such men as Prof.
Norton it will not be long before it will
find that the number Of its students IS de-
creasing and its influence is waning. Sem
ator Hoar's criticism of Prof. Nortons adj
dress was a severe one, but not more
severe than the address deserved. If
Prof Norton is retained as a member of
the university he will have to get in
touch with American sentiment, otherwise
he will help to pull down Harvard from
the proud position it now occupies and
make il a second or third rate institution.
Besides, there is no room in this country
for such men as Dr.. Norton has shown
himself to be.

From the New York Tribune.
Gen. Wheeler started on the two miles
journey to the front in an ambulance.
About halfway to the front he met some
filters bearing wounded. The veteran
against the protest of the surgeons, imme-
diateiy ordered his horse, and after per-
sonahy assisting the wounded into the am
bulance mounted and rode onward.
THE men burst into frantic cheers, which

Into the thick of the fight he went, pallid
and sick and wan,

But the fighting soul of a lighting man,

Wounded boys from the Vermont hills and
the Alabama dells;
Put them into this ambulance: I'll ride

And he climbed to the saddle, and rode
right on, that little old ex-Confed.
From end to end of the long blue ranks
rose up the ringing cheers
And many a powder blackened face was
furrowed with sudden tears,
AS with flashing eyes and cleaning sword
and hair and beard of snow.
Into the hell of shot and shell rode little
old Fighting Joe.
Sick with fever and racked with pain, he
could not stay away,
For he heard the song of the yester-years
In the deepmouthed lannon's bay
He heard in the calling song of the guns
there was work for him to do,
Where his countrX's best blood splashed

If the educated and influential Cubans
ever expect to be of real service to their
country, it is now time they were exert
ing themselves in its behalf. The insurg-
ents seem to be impatient for power and
vengeance. They desire, and seem to ex-
pect that whatever territory may be cap
tured by the American troops shall be
turned over TO them, to be used as they
may please. They wanted Santiago, and
it Is practically assured that If 1t had been
given to them, there would have followed
wild and savage scenes Of sacking arson
and cruelty. The Americans are not max
ing war that way, and they do not pro-
pose that the Cubans shall do so. If #
is in the power Of the better classes Of
Cubans to restrain their fellow country
men and teach them decency and civili-
cation, they had better set about the task
at once.

our former fellow townsman, Gen.
George 2. Harrison, has at the Confed-
crate reunion at Atlanta the flag of his
old regiment. the Thirty-second Georgia.
The regiment was composed of companies
from this and adjoining counties, and its
colonel was one of the youngest. II not the
youngest, of that rank in the Confederate
armies. While the regiment was encamp-
ed in the Park Extension in this city, in
1862, the ladies Of Savannah made and
presented to it a flag. Miss Fannie Cohen,
now Mrs. Henry Taylor, made the presen-
tation, and the young colonel made the
reply in acceptance. Eventually Col. Har-
rison became a general, and when the or
der came to him at Goldsboro to furl the
flag Of the Confederacy, he sent to the
commander and asked for the flag of the
Thirty-second. 1t was given TO him. Plac-
ing it under his saddle he brought 1t
southwark. Gen. Harrison has made AL
al'ama his home since the war In the
home of his adoption he has been honored
time and again by the people with their
offices. He remembers, however, his boy
hood home and his friends of long ago.

including the admiral, attended divina
services at st. Mary's Roman Catholic
Church, where they offered up thanks
for their deliverance from the fate
that overlook so many of their COM
rades who fell before the fire of the
American guns. The church, which is

Captain Eulate of the Vizcaya is the

doubt that the matter will be amicably

gallant officer may be overcome.
