THE HEBREW AT WEST POINT.
Hazing said to Be the Cause of Cadet
AIbert,s Resirnafinn

West Point, N. Y, Aug. 5.-'Hazing and
not race prejudice" said one of the best
informed authorities at the Military Acad-
envy today, was the true cause of the
resignation of Cadet Sigmund S. Albert, of
Pennsylvania, and his tent mate and COM
panion. Dean Alvord also of Pennsyl-
vania"
According to the story told at the Acad-
emy, young Albert and Alvord were de-
tected putting a "plebe' through the
spread eagle performance. 1t consists
OF standing on your toes, legs spread apart.
and with hands extended and body thrown
forward, Just touching the ground with
the tips OF the fingers. This following
closely after Colonel Mills recent rigorous
order against hazing, their crime was un-
pardonable. They had the alternative of
facing general court martial, which
would mean dismissal in disgrace, or of
quietly handing in their designations. Ca
det Albert summoned his father to his aid
and after consultation with him decided 70
resign His tent mate also thought it best
to do likewise
The story OF race persecution is due en-
tlrely to the personal unpopularity among
their classmates of young Alvord and Al
bert. This dates from their entrance TO
the Academy. They set themselves against
many of the me-honored customs of the
institution and as a result made them
selves unpopular with their associates.
The question of a mans race or re-
hgion," said one of the leaders of the first
class this morning, snever has anything
to do with the treatment accorded him at
the Academy. Each man, Jew or Chris
tian, Catholic or Protestant, stands on his
own merits. Some of the most popular
and brainiest men that ever left the Acad-
eIny have been Jews. Once man enters
the Academy his race and his religion are
lost sight of entirely. 1t is matter of
keen regret that anyone should attempt to
bring question of race prejudice into the
designations OF Alvord and Albert
The authorities have determined to end
hazing. Colonel Mills and Commandant
ii. Helm say that instant dismissal WI
follow any cadet who is detected interfer-
ing with any of the new men.

The Lee Monument

The Robert L. Lee Monument Associa-
tion OF the District of Columbia in pro
posing TO erect suitable memorial to the
great Confederate general, viii no doubt
receive sustaining encouragement and sup
port, not only from all Southerners. but
also from many other Americans who re-
spect and honor Lee the man as highly az
they admire Lee the soldier.
1t is distinctly appropriate that such a
memorial should rise upon the spot which
was for SO many years endeared to the
illustrious Virginia family. and which has
since been hallowed by the graves of
Union and Confederate dead.
While it is undoubtedly true that Lee
was a Southerner in every fibre OF his be-
ing, and that he made and rested his fame
in defending the Lost Cause, yet 1t can
never be forgotten that he rendered dis
tinguished service TO the nation In the
Mexican War and in every military posi-
ton he occupied in the Union Army from
the hour lie was graduated at West Point
to the day he resigned his commission after
Virginia had seeded.

of such character in an outbreak of dis

There was no time lost in declaring a
sanitary war upon the most feared of tropi

The Tax Dodgers lament.

John ID. Rockefeller, whose estimated
wealth is three hundred and fifty million
dollars, and whose annual income is about
fourteen million, has again protested
against the assessments on his property
in Mount Pleasant, N Y
This announcement will be nothing new
to those who know Mr.. Rockefeller's rec
ord in resisting the payment of taxes. In
1896 the Standard Oil magnate began to
establish his reputation for lowering the
regularly levied assessments upon his
property. In that year he carried his
grievance TO the courts and contrved to
get the assessments reduced more than
fifty per cent. He repeated the process in
1887 and 1893 with equal success, and there
is little hope that he will fail in his at
tempt to get a reduced assessment this
year.
Last spring MIR. Rockefeller decided to
anticipate all trouble in the assessment
business by electing a board less mali
cious toward rich mems property His
ticket was successful at the polls, and the
opposing board, nominated on the plat
form of make the Rockefellers and other
rich men pay their share" was defeated.
Mr.. Rockefeller is now dissatisfied with
the assessed valuation of his property,
which has been reduced only one hundred
thousand dollars by officers supposed to be
friendly to the plutocrats' interests Truly,
the way of the tax dodger is hard, even
though he be a Rockefeller.

The pennsyIv.ni, M,n.-.

The striking fever is spreading. Thirty
five hundred miners quit work yesterday
in the Wilkesbarre district Their cause
Of complaint was that they were compelled
TO do work which was injurious in kind
and unjust in character.
They went out as individuals. There
seems to have been no premeditated or
concerted action. What was done hap
pened spontaneously. Workmen in mine
after mine determined to leave their places
for reasons evidently sufficient to them
selves
Whether or not the miners are justified
cannot now be determined The fact. how
ever, is to be faced and the problem solved.
1t is to be hoped that some satisfactory
agreement may be reached by both en-
ployer and employed. If that be irnpossi-
bic their differences should be submitted
at once to arbitration.

Another great question is that of Gov
