RESIGNED FROM WEST POINT.
Reports of Persecution on Account
OF Race Prejudice.

OF Race Prejudice.
Lancaster, Pa, Aug. 4-Sigmund S. AL
bert. son of Adolph Albert, well-known
merchant of this city, resigned Wednesday
from West Point Military Academy where
he has been a cadet more than year, and
returned home yesterday.
The alleged reason for his resignation is
that he was subjected to persecution be-
cause of his being Hebrew. While there
is no doubt that this is the real cause,
young Albert will not say SO. though it
was practically admitted this evening by
several of his friends. The former cadet
is manly young fellow, of good physique
and much intelligence When seen yester-
day evening at his home he said:
Il have no statement to make. ] can tell
you in ten words why / left the Academy.
The reason and the cause that l assigned
when | handed in my resignation, was that
did not like military life. and, therefore,
decided not to follow it. I have nothing
more to say.
Il don't want to raise sensation. WHAT
occurred when was at the Academy l saw
as cadet, and now that am no longer a
member, OF the Academy | feel in duty and
honor bound not to speak of anything that
happened there. If l had been a civilian
it would be different"
Stories have frequently come here that
young Albert was being maltreated at the
Academy because of his religion, and about
year ago, not long after his entrance, he
spent some time in the hospital, the result.
it is understood, of hazing. A relative
said that he knew the whole story OF the
trouble, and if made public, it would set
the whole country by the ears
Young Albert's reports apparently show
that he stood high in his studies
Representative Brosius, who appointed Al
bert, expressed surprise at his resignation
and said he knew of no reason for it.
Three other Hebrews are said to have
entered West Point at the same time as
Albert. Only one is still a cadet. APPEL,
of New York, resigned three months after
being admitted. and two weeks ago Hutz-
Ter, Of Baltimore left the Academy. 1t is
alleged that both were driven out by the
persecution of the other cadets.

TO SOLVE THE RACE PROBLEM
Bishop Turner Asks for 100000
900 to DepOrt Negroes

Birmingham, Ala. Aug. AT the Epis-
copal meeting of the elders and bishops OF
the African Methodist Episcopal Church. in
session in this city. Bishop H. NJ. Turner,
of Georgia, presiding, resolutions wers
passed yesterday, suggesting to the general
conference of the church, which meets in
Columbus, Ohio, in November, that it Pc
tition Congress to appropriate S100. zoe. 600
to defray the expenses of deporting negroes
in the United States to some other country,
In speaking of tha resolution. Bishop
Turner said: The determined alienation
between the blacks and the whites will
never be harmonized until the races are
separated Others may think that truce
of harmony may be patched up by Chris
tian influences, but such a movement Is
only subterfuge TO delay what can be pu;
into execution at once" The resolutions
provoked very little adverse comment. They
followed close on set of resolutions con-
demning iawless acts by both races.

A Greeley story.
(From the Argonaut.)

Horace Greeley was once discussing in gen.
eral company the faults and needs of his own
nation. ''What this country needs" said he,
in his piping voice and Yankee accent, .'is
real good licking!'' An Englishman present
promptly said, with unmistakable English ae.
cent: Quite right. Mr.. Greeley; quite right
The country needs licking" But Mr. Gree
ley, without glancing in the Englishman's di-
rection or seeming to pay any attention to the
interruption, went in the same squeaky tone:
But the trouble is there's no nation that can
give it to u.s.

Ford River gentleman who was united in the

the reason for vacation. ''Well, YOU see Mr..

with suppressed smile, thought it would be

Senator Frye must know, he would not have
said that the Lord directed Dewey's guns in the

from quite an opposite direction. To the ordinary
mind not addicted to top-lofty highfalutin, it ap-

One act of Mr.. Roots predecessor we feel

That was sending General Wheeler, the
most famous American cavalrist living, to
Luzon. We are equally certain that he will
not think so well of Mr.. Alger's course in
giving brigade command to Fred Grant
a man who was never under fire in his life.
There are worthy officers, veterans Of the
Civil War and of many Indian campaigns
who ought to get these brilliant assign
ments. Brigadier General Grant may in
herit the military genius of his father, but
he has not given any such evidence to date.

The news that an innocent man was
lynched in Arkansas in 1893 was confirmed
in today's dispatches. What must be the
feelings of the men responsible for that
crime? What must be the reflections Of
all thoughtful men everywhere as the
words are read? There can be but one
sentiment on this subject which strikes at
the key root of the lynching question. The
authority of the mob is an irresponsible
authority and is theoretically and pracu-
caIly hostile to the spirit of right and Jus
tice The life of even the meanest human
creature is far too precious to be disposed
of by any agency other than properly con-
stituted legal authority. Until this prin-
eiple is recognized and practiced in every
State in the Union. our institutions will
receive and deserve the censure of al men
who love justice and respect law.
