dictments found by the grand jury
against Col. Eli r. Sutton and Gen.

Sheriff Porter went to Allegan,
where he served a subpoena on
Grant Goodrich, confidential clerk
for former Inspector Gen. Marsh,
whose trial for embezzlement aud
fraud in connection with the sale of
military supplies will take place next
month.
Goodrich is an important witness,
so important that his employer
drove him out Of Allegan in haste
when deputy sheriff appeared with
a grand jury subpoena for him two
months ago. He was subpoenaed
thus early for the trial lest he again
be missing as the time for the trial
approached He had been ordered
to produce in court all books, pa
pers, ETC., bearing on Marsh S busi.
ness transactions during the last
half of 1899.

''There are many other minerals
known to exist in the upper PENN
sula, aside from iron ore and copper,
but which have heretofore had little
attention. These will naturally re-
ceive more attention as the popula-

the natural resources develops. The
clays, marbles, sandstones and other
building materials have in them the
basis of extensive industries. There
are also extensive areas underlaid
by limestone, beds OF mari and other

speak of gold, silver, graphite, roof

are known to exist and have already

The numerous water powers af-

A Plea for Hnzing.

The New York World" of yesterday
printed statement signed by Major
Avery d. Andrews, West Point Sc" in
which that doughty warrior expresses en-
thusiastic confidence in the perpetuation
of hazing at the Military Academy, and
his religious belief that it is the best sys-
TEN possible to make cadets manly, brave,
truthful, and altogether what officers and
gentlemen ought to be. Major Andrews
is even extreme in his approval He
says:
good thing. have boy whom | expect
to send to West Point. and | wouldn't for the
world have the fun of the four years taken
away from him. 1t helps make men of the
boys
1t is probably safe to assert that the
view of the matter taken by Major An
drews is held by a great many army off,
GERS whose terms at the Academy may
have antedated the introduction of forms
OF hazing which have been mildly referred
to in evidence before the court of en-
quiry as "humiliating or degrading" If
so, we can understand how a sentiment
favorable to more or less ancient cadet
institution, honored although Illegal. ard
persistently practiced in defiance of sell
emn oaths taken to obey regulations,
might possibly exist.
Even then it strikes US as a distorted
sense of honor which would approve OF
compelling the boy entering West Point,
as his first lesson in military obedience
ard good conduct. to participate in in
fractions of rules the penalty for which
offence is dismissal. To minimize the evil
down to the mild level claimed for 1t by
its champions, ii is hard to understand
on what theory "plebe" is to be made
manly by compelling him to fight a
seasoned. highly trained, upper class
bully. Such compulsion, if honorable in
West Point, is not so anywhere else. On
the contrary. it would be generally called
brutal injustice. Has Major Avery D.
Andrews. West Point So" informed him
self concerning the details of some hazlng
'tas practiced at West Point during the
past three or four years? Would he wish
to expose MS boy to four years of that
kind of fun, passively or actively? What
ever may have been the fact generation
ago. the testimony in the Booz and Brelh
cases clearly proves that at a later pc
riod hazing became disgraceful and in
tolerable, and there IS a popular demand
for its total abolition

POISON IN CHRISTMAS CANDY.
A Philadelphia Girl Has Narrow
Escape From Death.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 30.-A Christmas
gift of box of candy that was filed
with arsenic was received by Miss Mar
garet Torpie, a pretty young mill girl
who ate few pieces and nearly lost her
life. With the candy small boy deliver
ed at the girls house this note:
This will help you to pass your idle
moments" There was no signature.
Before going out to accompany a friend
to the Reading Terminal Friday evening
Miss Torpie ate three pieces of the candy.
In the station she was taken IL and fell
to the floor. A doctor Immediately
diagnosed the symptoms as of acute pois-
oning and by prompt efforts her life was
saved.
Then Miss Torpie recalled the fact that
last month a fortune teller told her she
would receive package, and of the con-
tents she must be careful The candy
was aanlyzed and found to contain enough
arsenic to kill dozen people.
The chocolates had been cut in halves

halves stuck together again. The police
are hard at work on the case. Mrs. Torpie
said yesterday that she could not account
for the poisoned candy being sent to her

Porto Rico omcehoIders.
fFrom the Boston Herald }

A curious turn to affairs in Porto Rico Is
noted. The ground taken by the Administration
since its abandonment OF what the President
had previously declared to be the plain duty
OF the nation toward this island possession has
been that the Porto Ricans are not American
citizens. II they not American citizens it
seems TO be clear that they cannot be appointed to
office in Porto Rico, for the regulations pro-
vided for the island forbid the appointment
of other than American eitizcT- "a these posi-
tons This whole matter may take = new
turn under the anticipated decision of the United
States Supreme Court; but while the regulations
now made continue to be in force it is difficult
to sec how any native Porto Rican can legally
hold office under the Government in his own
island This will be gratifying information to the
numerous class Of officeseekers under our home
Government, but it looks il added perplexities

| out of it, to spend at the capital, but to
desirable a place of residence as the
capital. Only in this way can a reach
ing system of colonization be successful.
| 1t is perfectly possible to make it so.
The possibilities of such a system are
particularly great in the case of the
| American Republic. With the heterogen-
eous population, and the restless activity
which has always been national charac-
teristic, the best blood OF America may
easily be given to the founding of new
colonies. There are many Americans who
are by temperament, inclination, and
origin fitted for life in tropical climates.
1t could not be otherwise in a country
zone. The Southerner is no more at
home in Minnesota than the Dakotan
in Florida. The man untitled for resi-
dence in northern States may be happiest
and most useful in tropical colony.
The tradition of the American people is
colonization. We have been spreading
over the whole inhabited earth as fast as
possible, ever since the Declaration of
Independence. The sailor. the adventur-
er, the emigrant. the missionary of
American extraction have made the
American flag known in the uttermost
corners of the globe. We have the colon
izing instinct. 1t remains only for US to
gorern our colonies on the right prin-
ciple, making each an integral part of
great system. contributing and receiy-
ing good. The Imperialism of old Rome
destroyed itself through the essentially
selfish practice of seeking the aggran-
dizement of part at the expense of the
whole The success of the American Re
public can only come through the secur-
ing of the good OF each part through the
harmonious development of the whole.
Nature forbids conglomerations and
heaps, except when they contribute to the
general good. Too much blood in any
part of the body produces disease. The
high specialization of one part does not
injure any other. The capital should be
like the eye, securing the safety of the
whole body; not like a cancer, drawing
strength from the entire system.
