Roosevelt ON Dewey.

Governor Roosevelt may be open to
some political or other criticism, but his
message TO the State Legislature recon-
mending an appropriation to make the
Commonwealth generous participant in
New York's reception to Admiral Dewey
is above all criticism. 1t reads:
call 10 your attention the desirability OF
making al appropriation TO provide for the
proper celebration Of the return OF Admiral Dewey,
IN American whom all Americans worthy Of the
nam. delight to honor. the man who al The close
of the niueteenth century has added fresh re-
nog.n to the fsg that has already 50 often been
borne 10 glorious triumph on the land aud on
the s-a.
TIE thunder of Dcwcy's guns in Manila Bay
raised in i moments time the prestige Of Ameri-
can arms throughout the world and added new
honor TO American citizenship at home and
abroad. and his services throughout the trying
months that followed, though les brilliant, were
hardly less useful TO his country.
II is fitting that should show in appro-
pirate form The high regard feel Tor the great
Admiral and for every officer and sailor OF his
fleet that should testify our appreciation Of
the debt under which this country lies TO him
and 20 them, and indeed 10 all their comrades
IN our forces ahoai and ashore.
The Great Admiral" as the Governor
ftly calls him, is indeed worthy of all
honor and II possible the more so as a re-
burke to the little nest of American traitors
who are striving 10 undo his grand work
for our country.

Alfred Austin ana His Herald

The bucolic Mr.. Austin, laureate of
England. has written an ode to the Queen,
in his customary horticultural style, and
its theme is Indian Summer" He de-
scribes Victoria as now enjoying the time
which follows after harvest. when people
feel pensive. and tired, and happy. The
conception is a pretty one, though not al
together novel. and its working out is en-
tirely Austinian. The laureate says that
April "sandaled with its flowers the
feet OF the Queen in the beginning OF her
reign and that at the present time wild
owed evening weeps behind her veil" all
OF which reminds one of the tailor's rev.
erie at sunset. which was once put into
verse by q mlschievous rhymster, and de-
scribed nights mantle as "buttoned with
stars" He also states that the Queen
has won a uniyerse's love" which is
pretty, but somewhat hyperbolic, since
even the stanchest Briton could hardly
claim that Her Majesty has admirers in
Mars or Uranus, or the inter-stellar
spaces. But, after all, the most that can
be said against the ode is that it is the
sort Of thing which MIR. Austin would be
likely 10 write.

1t is understood that some things should
be forgiven to the effervescent spirits of
college boys, but when it comes to the sort
of performances lately INDUCED in by
students of Cornell and Princeton, it
seems as if the community outside the col
lege might properly assert its rights. The
Princeton hoodlums tormented a circus
company which was passing through the
streets They fired cannon crackers under
the feet of the horses, and assaulted the
performers with clubs and stones. One OF
them slashed one of the horses with his
knife, and the result of it all finally was
that the circus was forced TO retreat. At
Cornell the buoyant glee of some of the
students led them to build bonfres in the
public streets, and when the citizens of the
town objected. the collegians charged on
the police. The fire department was call
ed out, and put out the fires. but the
young men cut the hose. Citizens who
tried to help the fire company were club
bed by the excited youths. Finally
ignominious ending of an epic of school
boy life-the fire company turned the hose
upon its tormentors and they promptly
scattered.
This sort of vandalism should find no
excuse. A little harmless joking is re-
sented by no one, and boys in all ages
and countries are prone to indulge in this
amusement, but when it comes to pelting
women, though they be circus riders,
with stones, frightening their horses. and
spelling their business; when the joyous
collegian endangers buildings with his bon
fires and destroys the property of the city.

If the townspeople were accustomed to
abuse the collegians in this manner, so
that every new conner had to run the
gauntlet of the kind of treatment that
Princeton gave the circus company, no.
body would hesitate to condemn the au-
thorities. Suppose the boys of the town
of Princeton insisted on coming into the
college grounds and building fires on the
campus. and when the professors came
