Mach Ugly Talk.

Much ugly talk is being INDUCED in
about the action of the board of regents
ofthe State university, in removing DR..
Blanton and bringing him into disgrace
in the eyes of the educational world.
This talk should be stopped by an Of
fetal statement from the board. DR..
Blanton stands too high as scholar. a
gentleman and an educator to go down
without resentment from himself and
friends, il he has been wronged. And
the regents stand too high in the esti-
nation Of the people to have themselves
misquoted, misiudged and falsely
charged. 1t is due the institution, it is
due the governor, it is due the regents,
it is due DR.. Blanton and it is due the
public that the facts be made known
officially.
The NEWS Is interested in the well
fare OF the university, and it knows full
we'll, that, unless this ugly talk be stop
ped, the institution must suffer aud :
fer seriously. An official statement
should be made public before the dam
age is irreparable. An official state
ment will be but simple matter of
justice to all concerned.
DR.. Blanton, president, has given his
version of the trouble. In an inter-
view in the Spokane Review, of JULY
Sd, he talks right out, and the regents
must answer him or be condemned
In the eyes of the public. The doctor
talks like an innocent man. He courts
Investigation and should have it. In
the face of what he says the regents
should court investigation too, and
should have it. Governor Stunenberg
cannot let the matter pass in view of
the fact that the doctor says he adj
vised him of conditions in his report
and he has taken no action in ordering
an investigation. Let the public have
the facts from both sides. Let both
sides be heard before passing iudg-
ment.

Advice to British Officers.

1t is interesting to read what Lord
Wolseley has said in his Soldiers
Pocket Book under the head of "Ad-
vice to Officers ON Service ms Regards
Their Bearing Toward Their Men. "
He says: ''In action, to be cool and to
seem ignorant that any danger exists
is of the first consequence. You must,
at the same time, however, evince u
lively interest in all that is going on;
come what may, have a smiling face.
Ii your men are under a fire to which
they are not replying. walk about in
front Of them as they are lyin" down.
l do not mean that you are never to
avail yourself of cover, for when
skirmishing it is your duty to do so,
but under the above mentioned cir.
cumstances the best troops are prone
to become unsteady, and it is then the
especial duty of the officers to show
an example of GOODNESS and steadiness.
When wounded, officers should take a
pride in refusing the assistance of the
men to take them to the rear" etc.

British commercial enterprise has
splashed the maps of both hemis-

"About eight thousand kegs and
barrels of capers, q small, sour berry
resembling in color aud shape green
pea, are annually imported into the
United States from Spain and France, -
said Wholesale dealer IN all sorts of
foreign condiments in New York City
to the writer recently. "Capers grow
on bush, and are extensively used
by all classes of cooks in this coun-
try for garnishing salads and making
sauce which is usually served with
boiled mutton and other meats. There
are four sizes of caper. The smallest
are commercially known as nonpareils
and the three other sizes are called
capucines, capotes and surfnes. The
smallest capers are the most desirable
and bring the most money. Very few
capers are imported in glass. They
are shipped to America in kegs aud
barrels holding from fifteen to forty
gallons of the berries III brine or win.

One of the most amusing fads at the
present moment is a "pig" book, in
which all and sundry of your friends
are asked to draw a pig with their
eyes shut, and sign their names under
it. 1t is far more interesting than an
ordinary autograph book, and causea
endless fun. A pig seems an easy and
mild animal to portray on paper; but
the portraits of him that are drawn
under these circumstances are like
nothing earthly, either in the animal
or vegetable kingdom. Many people
say, however, that you can tell per.
sons character as we'll from one OF
these drawings as from the hand.
