West Point, Dec. 22.-The military
court-martial inquiry into the alleged
brutal cases of hazing which are said
to have caused the deaths of Booz and
Breth will not be able to finish its
work this week. An adjournment will
be taken until Wednesday and the re-
mainder Of the testimony will proba-
bly, be secured next week. Nothing
adduced in the evidence yesterday
showed that there was any brutal haz-
Ing practiced at the academy and the
trend of the evidence went to show
that neither BOoz nor Breth was pos
sessed of the necessary mental capac
ity to go through the entire course of
studies necessary for graduation.

MONMOUTH COLLEGE BOYS

The entertainment at the Opera
House Saturday evening, given by the
Monmouth College Mandolin, Guitar,
and Glee club, was largely attended.
Everyone enjoyed the program, as was
testified by the generous applause.
The Choruses were an inspiration to
the audience, many of whom had never
had the pleasure of hearing college
glees. To us, Comrades in Arms
was the very best number. Mr.. Nc
Coy's readings were extremely funny,
the pianist was fine, the violinist as
leader OF the mandolins and guitar very
good indeed, and the whole program
was exceedingly well rendered. The
non-appearance of the Wagner quar-
tet, on account of the illness OF one oi
the number, was much regretted.
Miss Mollie Jordan and the pupils o
her Mandolin club occupied prominen
seats in the dress circle, and at the
| close OF the first number sent baske
of red and white carnations which wer'
worn by the students on their lapels

THE CANAL
1t VIII Be Closed to Uncle Sans En-
emies in Case of Wari

Dispatches from Washington state
that the Nicaragua canal will be for
tilted and closed to the enemies of the
United States in case of war, and that
England has agreed to this amendment
of the Treaty. Moreover it is said the
Treaty will not be ratified withoutsuch
a clause.
This is gratifying. 1t would have
been a criminal blunder to have con-
structed the canal 'open to the world
in time OF war. The REPUBLICAN took
this position at the start, in opposition
to the Administration, because we felt
that it was important, very important,
that the great interests of our country
should be sacrificed by such a mis-
take.

THE Democrats have been having a
great deal to say against McKinley's
Administration for calling out troops
to suppress miners strike in Idaho.
A Congressional investigation has de-
veloped the fact that the Democratic
Populist Governor of Idaho was respon-
sible for the calling out of the troops.
And now we will hear nothing more
from the Democratic papers about call
ing out the Troops in Idaho; but there
will be no apology for having falsely
accused the Administration.
