From present indications, it is safe
to predict that the Hon. John j. Jen-
kins will have no opposition in the
next Republican Congressional con-
vention for this district, and that be
will be renominated by reclamation
as he ought TO be. He certainly has
made a very good record as a repre-
sentative and taken very promin-
ent position as legislator in con-
gress and is a credit to the district,
and state.-Rice Lake Leader.

EDITORS Manley's Rejoinder.

Editor Colored American:-In the
issue of March 31st I saw an article
by Mr.. Charles R Douglass in which
references are made to some remarks
OF mine not long since. Upon the ad-
vice of my friends I have concluded to
let the matter pass by with the con.
tempt which such unwarranted attacks
deserve. My statements were made in
an open meeting and if there was any
thing offensive or objection able in them
common decency should have prompt
ed the offended Mr.. Douglass to have
called me to task then and there and
not wait whole week to air bis pre-
sumed grievance in the newspapers.
My remarks were not intended to give
ofense or to be construed as Mr.. Doug
lass presumed to understand them.
Other speakers made similar remarks
to those made by me but somehow they
escaped Mr.. Douglass notice. l am
too busy TO engage in a senseless con.
troversy.
Truly yours,

HAzING AT WEST POINT.
Inquiry ELECTS Some Interesting
TcktimOmI.


West Point, n. Y, Dec. q. - Some
very interesting testimony was
brought out yesterday by the court of
inquiry which is investigating the al
legged haZing Of cadets at the military
academy, here in connection with the
recent death of Former Cadet Booz.
Thirty-fiNe cadets We're examined
and of these one was the brother of
Lieut.. r. F. Hobson. of Nlerrimac
fame. another was the son of Gen.
Phi! Sheridan. and third. Mark
Brooke of Pennsylvania. nephew OF
Gen. Brco.e. Who is the presiding of.
f!cer of tl1a court. All three told Of
the l1azing they got during the en-
campment of '9S at the time Oscar L.
Booz was their classn,ate, and not
one of them said that the treatment
received or the things they had to do
We're either brutal or degrading. Hob
sons worst ordeal was that he had
to stand on his head in bath tub in
which there was about ten inches OF
water. He said he was partially
strangled but was all right in a few
minutes. Young Phil Sheridan w.2.s
made to ride a broomstick along the
company's street in commen,oration of
his il!us.rious fathers ride and he had
to keep shouting Turn boys, turn"
all the time. He did not think it was
hurl1i'iating. he said, although he did
not relish the task. In nearly every
instance the witness said that nearly
all the brutal forms of hazing We're
abolished, and while 'bracing" was
still practfced secretly. it was against
the regulations and any one caught
violating these regula tons would be
summarily dealt with and severely
punished. There are about a score or
more of Booz's classmates to be ex-
amined, and as there are several Of
the first-c]ass men to be heard from
as we'll as some of the officers. the
court may not get through taking of
testimony until Saturday.

The album habit is so strong and its
expressions are so varied that little
wonder ought to be felt at an account
Of an album In which a young woman
has placed piece of each gown she
has bought, and has noted on the page
the date Of purchase and the time
when the garment was last worn. The
price also Is attached, both as an en-
eouragemsnt and a warning, 1t is to be
supposed. An observer Of the other
sex might suggest an enlargement of
che album pages so as to include a
summary Of the miles travelled in &C.
tecting the dresses. There might be
added an estimate Of the total Of re-
grets that other patterns were not pre-

gregats Of signs Of envy or whispers of
criticism which each dress called into

Pekin, Dec. 81. The preliminary

CURED in the change proposed by the
British government in it's latest in
structions to Sir Ernest Satow.
The Whole misunderstanding which
delayed the contamination Of the
agreement was caused by the change
or omission Of the single digit in q
complex group of figures making UP
one Of the cipher messages Of instruc-
ton to Nh. Congar. Curiously enough,
the change In this single digit exactly
reversed the meaning of the entire
message. so that Mr.. Congec in oppos-
ing the English view, was acting ex-
actly contrary to the spirit Of his in
structions. although in accordance
with their letter.
1t is virtually admitted that the
demands, which have heretofore been
published, have not been changed in
any material manner.

It's rank nonsense to presume that
man can't love woman just as
we'll Il she is the daughter of a mil
uonaire as If she were only sales
woman, and Just as silly, too, to think
woman can't be as devoted to a man
with title as to one who is a motor
man, for instance. It's all in the man
and It's all in the woman. There's
Just as much so-ca!led love among IL
tles and dollars as tnere is an.one the
F2ses, an! tsc cha1ces are as good for
permanent happiness in one case as in
the other. AL of which is apropos of

A recommendation Of the recent Par
u conference on international copy
right is that no modification Of an au-
thor's work shall be made without his
consent. Is not this principle morally
binding after an authors death? The
rapid multiplication of UNCONVENTIONAL
hymn-boolSs has led compilers so ma
terially to alter the verses used that
they often express opposite tenets from
those the author held. 1t is serious
ofense to attach an authors name to
. hymn SO altered.

Henry Hagemeister, treasurer OF the
Wisconsin Brewers association, says
beer-dr!nking is on the decrease in
the state. The days Of fortune-mak-
ing in bcewertes has passed, and sew
eral large establishments now fail to
return fair percentage on the money
invested. This condition has been
brought about in large measure by in
creased consumption in homes. When
people drink beer at home" says Mr..
Hagemeister, they are satisfied when
thirst is appeased. In saloons the So
cial or treating feature makes them
drink a great deal more. The result

servant who saw the man on horse
