No West Pointers Involved.

West Pointers are chuckling to themselves
over the fact that none of them is involved
in the army scandals which have so shocked
the country. Neither Secretary Alger, Gen
eral Miles General Shafter. General Brooke,
General Breckenridge. General Corbin nor
General Eagan is g product of the famous
military acadamy on the banks of the lordly
Hudson. There can be no question therefore
of jealousy at this time between army Off
GERS who entered the service through West
Point and those who entered from civil life,
as was the case during and after the civil
war. 1t must not be understood that l mean
to intimate that the civil appointees in the
army are all involved in these scandals, for
this is not the case. Some of the most eff
cient officers in the late war were appointed
from the volunteer service at the close of
the civil war. There are Generals Lawton
and Chaffee for instance, two of the heroes
of Santiago. Neither of them is a West
Pointer General Otis, who commands in
the Philippines, is not West Pointer. No
army has better general officers than they
are. Just the same, the fact remains that
no West Pointer is mixed up in the army
scandals growing out of the Spanish war,
and the West Pointers quietly congratulate
themselves and their alma mater that it is
a fact.

GRATIFYING TO REPUBLICANS.

0Ha1IfAANV TO REPUBLICANS
Tuesdays elections resulted
quite as satisfactorily to the re-
publicans as there was any good
reason to expect, and the policy
of the party and of the admins
tration has been upheld by the
voice of the ballot. Ohio, where.
in centered the greatest interest,
looms up with a sound republi-
can majority despite the local
distractions which threatened.
Kentucky elects the republican
candidate for governor, while
Pennsylvania and Iowa show
large republican gains. Nebraska
was carried by the democrats, as
previously conceded. In New
Jersey the republicans have a
working majority in the legisla-
ture and will elect a republican
to succeed Sewe)l, end lin New
York the republicans show gains
in municipal and legislative dis
tricts. Maryland was won. by
the democrats and Virginia and
Mississippi remain in the demo>
cratic column. Massachusetts,
however, the birthplace of the
"anti.imperia!ist" faction, comes
forth with round 10000 repub
lican majority.
