WEST POINT METHODS.

Ulysses S. Grant White, a West Point
graduate, but who is now United States
naval civil engineer, is another who dis
believes the story that Cadet Booz was
brutally treated at the military acad-
emy and died in consequence. He as
serts that the charge that Booz was
liefs, is contrary to all tradition at
West Point and cites the fact that
while he was a cadet he had as class
mates, besides Catholics and Protes-
tants. a Hebrew, Bloom of Cincinnati
Willard Young of Salt Lake City, a
Mormon, and son of Brigham Young.
and representatives of other creeds.
Yet there was never an insE~lce where
cadet was derded because of his faith
or piety. Two things that the cadets
will not stand for, however, says MI.
White, are lying and cowardice. and he
cites the following instance-the most
notable in the history of West Point:
A class of 'plebs" while 1 was at the
academy refused to report and punish
some of its members for falsifying, after
repeated requests to do SO, and our
class assembled and put all of them
bodily off the reservat ation with their
baggage. Only one of them. the son of
a general in active service. ever re-
turned and graduated. There was great
excitement over the event, which was
laid before congress, and the faculty
threatened to withhold our commissions.
Nothing ever came of it, however, and
we. got our commissions all right.

OUR NATURALIZATION LAWS.

Oscar S. Straus. former minister to
Turkey, delivered a very interesting lee
ture at Harvard University last week,
his theme being the United States doc
After discussing the naturalization laws
at length, Mr.. Straus cited many facts in
support of his contention that our natur-
alizaton laws should be speedily modi-
fled in respect to that class of naturalized
citizens who have made themselves
menace to our friendly relations with
other nations. They are the naturalized
citizens of Ottoman origin whose citizen
ship, though regular in form, is, in fact,
fraud upon the country of their birth
and the country of their adoption. Mr.
! Straus asserts from personal observa ton
that practically all of the citizens Of
| Ottoman origin who become naturalized
here commit this fraud. They come over
and effect naturalization without the
slightest intention of residing perman-
| emily here When these men return to
| the countries of their birth, they become
| a menace to both countries. They have
caused number of very bitter disputes
in the past and at least one such dispute
is now pending.
Mr.. Straus is not the man to pcint out
an evil without suggesting some remedy
for it, and in this instance he says:
There are several ways Of reaching the
desired result either by adopting some
such form respecting naturalization as
obtains in Great Britain or by the pass
age of an amendment to the existing
laws to the effect that the return of {
naturalized citizen to the country of hi
nativity, except for temporary stay o
a brief visit, shall be presumptive evi
dence of the abandonment of his Ameri
can citizenship. While this will not be
, complete remedy, it will have the adde,
effect of deterring the immigration 0

THE CUDAHY ABDUCTION.

Dissa tisfaction is now expressed by the
Omaha police over the action of Million
aire Cudahy in paying the ransom of
$a5 900 demanded by the scoundrels who
abducted his son. Then, too, there are
hints from other quarters about COM
pounding a felony" and an inclination to
criticse Mr.. Cudahy.
1t is entirely safe to say that these
critics have not had brought home to
them the thought of the father when
he read the message from the kidnapels

his boy back. The instant that was ac-
complished. the case was given to these
kicking detectives, with a reward OF
$4,000 to stimulate their efforts. Yet
they have accomplished nothing.

of his faculties and as he listened to the

Finally he jumped from the operating
table crying, Get me me breeches, De
COB; I'll die with me leg on. And with
that he was out of the room. Dr. Sayre
found him several days later with his
knee badly swollen. The young doctor
promptly cut open the knee but saved
the leg. One day he had no lint to
bind the wound, SO he used the tow

MR.. BRYAN'S PLANS,

Hoke Smith passed through Washing
ton last week on his way to Atlanta He
was induced to speak of Mr.. Bryan's fu-
ture as he saw it, and said:
l believe Mr.. Bryan will be entirely
out of the democratic party four years
from now. l think he and former Sem
ator Dubois of Idaho. Senator Charles A.
Towne and others will form new fu-
sion party in the northwest and that
they will not attempt to hold on to he
democratic organiza ton.
That Will only be in case Mr.. Bryan
finds he cannot control the democratic
organization. He has not yet made the
discovery, and his own statements show
that he does not expect to lose control.
1t is evident that at this time he fully
expects to be the nominee of the demo-
racy again in 1904, and he still holds to
the battle cry, Bryan forever" Mean
OF advertising he has received in es-
tablishing his weekly paper, the Com
moner.
The American people understand Mr..
Bryan pretty thoroughly by this time.
They doubtless know that a man with
such gifts and such a temperament as
Mr. Bryan, cannot, after addressing such
multitudes as no one else on earth ever
addressed, accept as final any verdict
that means his retirement from the pub
| lie eye.
The opposition wing of the democracy
may, and probably will, win, but Mr.
| Bryan will have to be down and out be.
fore he can be expected to retire from
the organization. And when he is forced
to do that, he will expect to carry al
the vital forces of the party with hin
into whatever camp he may land.

A TYPHOID PREVENTIVE.

The latest contribution is from the Medi-
cal and Surgical Reporter, a high au-
thority and is likely to attract consider
able attention. 1t is as follows:
Every one knows that typhoid fever,
as well as most if not all other diseases,
is caused by germs. Nearly every one
knows that typhoid fever may be con-
tracted at any time, in any one of the
several ways; but in 80 out of 100 cases
it will be through the agency of the

in the matter, however as the law

state have given the matter careful at

tions
AS matters now stand, there is entire
lack of unity among the different cities

them against contagious diseases. One
city, for instance, enforces compulsory
vaccination rule, While another, where
smallpox may be prevalent, ignores it,
and communication between the two
being very close, the action of one is
practically nullified by the other. There
is also an utter lack of uniformity in
the health and quarantine regulations
throughout the state, and, in conse.
quence. lack of system in combating
contagious diseases.
