in the way of honors had it not been
for the ever present conviction of the
inanity of it all. Where was the use
of torturing oneself with logarithms
when poker was on the tapis at the
inn? Self-immolation was no part of
his creed. His hasty resolutions for
good were repented at leisure until
longer use of struggling against his
discomfort, hope went glimmering,
and he resolved rather than make .
mess of It, to be wholly, truly bad.
He broadly intimated that he intend
ed to inaugurate the most comprehen-
sive drunk that his limited credit
would secure, and he forthwith carried
out the resolution to the letter. He
solemnly pledged himself never to do
another lick of honest work as long as
he lived.
He organized sophomore under
ground fraternity, the alleged pur-
pose of which was the subjugation OF
unruly freshmen, but the real pur-
pose was the encouragement OF every
thing that was bad and the demorali-
cation Of everything that made for
law and order. The flagstaff became
a barber pole one night, under their
treatment, and the chapel windows
were made to bear the inscriptions,
Hair cut, IS cents" and "a shave for
nothing" The presidents historic
phaeton miraculously assembled to the
roof of Dickinson hall, and even had
the temerity to attempt the scaling
of the huge dome when ii was discov-
cred by the proctor, who was out for
his early morning rounds. To his
amazed eyes, it looked for all the
world like some huge spider suspend
ed by its slender thread midway twixt
heaven and earth.
As a class, they daily established a
new record for unrighteousness, and
whatever was bad enough for them ia
do at all they did with will.
One November night they broke into
| the rooms of two freshmen, whom
| they compelled to stand at the open
window in the frosty air, night-robed
as they were, and sing love ditties to
the maid in the moon; but McSwatt
never forgot to his dying day their
| looks of fright, or how plaintively
their voices sounded in the still night
air, and when one of the marauders
in drunken glee, proposed to drench
| them under the pump, somehow he
could not find it in his heart to enter
into the spirit of the thing. and when
he saw one of the innocents, tall
frail lad. terrorized by the ordeal, sob
bling to himself, he stopped the orgie
1t was the next day but one that the
college bulletin reported the nights
exploits. and deprecating the lawless-
! ness and the heartlessness that made
such misdemeanors possible, stated
| that Edwin Cassells, one of the vic,
tins, was suffering with pneumonia
contracted by the exposure and seri
GUS fears were entertained. McSwatt
slept very little during the nights that
! followed. and was seen several times
wandering about at very late hour
quite alone, and he occasionally stood
for few moments at time under
the window where the dim light kept
vigil over the fevered patient.
The fact is McSwatt thought, fol-
the first time in his life. seriously. II,

He says that eggs of all sorts should b

DThe attention of William Jen-
nings Bryan is respectfully called to
the movement inaugurated by his
party in Louisiana for the repeal OF
the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to the federal constitution.
Perhaps he would like to deliver few
speeches in the Pelican state on tho
atrocity of government without tho
consent of the governed. If so, there
is no doubt that he would meet with
warm reception.-Chicago Inter

The Half-Alixe Issue.

In his speech accepting the populist
nomination Bryan demonstrates that
the Chicago platform issues, especially
free silver and free riot, are so much
alive that there is no reason why any
one who voted for him in 1896 should
refrain from doing so in 1900. 1t seems
to follow that no one who on these is
sues voted against him in 1896 should
vote for him in 1900. But perhaps sill
yer coinage at sixteen to one is alive
only in populistic circles and defunct
within the borders Of democracy, or
buried and forgotten in the east, while
full of vigor in the silver-producing
west. However, as Bryan might elo-
quently remark, no issue can long en-
dure half dead and half alivc.--Wash-

owe suppose 1t will be conceded
that Mr.. Bryan knows what his party
stands for, and that he is the best wit
ness as to his own political faith. He
does not tell us what he would do, or
how he would seek to realize his prin-
ciples, but he leaves us in doubt about
what those principles are. He and his
party stand to-day for what they
stood for in 1896, and therefore tho
men that vote for Bryan will assured
ly vote for those principles. 1t is tho
same party, the same candidate, tho
same platform, and these three con-
stitute the same menace.-Indianap-

DIn his discussion of militar-
ism Gov. Roosevelt says: The
only certain way of rendering il
necessary for our republic to enter
on n career of 'militarism' would be to
abandon the Philippines, to their own
tribes, and at the same time either to
guarantee u stable government among
these tribes or to guarantee them
against outside interference" This
is the Bryan plan Of settling tho

it would require much larger army
