The Dispatch insists on re-enacting the
ancient and discredited social amenities
of the pot and the kettle. In Mondays
issue it admits that the 123 members OF
the Pennsylvania legislature, who are
pledged for Boss Quay, are Republicans,
as against the four Democratic members
that Quay expects TO buy UP, but it adds
that they are of the same stripe as some
two hundred and odd thousand Demo-
Gratis that have disgraced New York, in
sinuating that 123 against several hundred
thousand is not bad showing. PennsyI-
vapias contemplate 123 are members of
the legislature. The tive hundred and
some odd thousand" in New York can
hardly belong to such body. If the
Dispatch means just common voters, it
will probably be glad to tell the pubic
how many hundred thousand disreputable
Republican yellow ours it took to elect
those 125 henchmen for Boss Quay; how
many hundred thousand Republican rep
rebates there are in that sink of cor
ruption who sacrificed all principles of
common decency to Boss Quay's slush
fund. The Dispatch also makes great
attempt to show that it is ever SO much
worse for a Democrat TO sell out to Quay
than for a Republican, although just
why, is not exactly clear, unless it is,
because the Republicans are so much
more used to it And then with the glib
nervousness of people who are in the
habit of judging others by themselves,
it goes on to assert that Quay could get
all the Democratic members of the legis-
lature if he needed them, while in fact
it isn't too sure yet whether ne will get
a single one of them. And as to New
York, wonder if the Dispatch ever heard
about Boss Platt? He is said to be the
whole thing there, from governor down to
police commissioner; and as for corrup
ton they say that a municipal garha ge
plant would seem like perfume factory
| beside him, and he could not have got
ten into power, you know, if he had not
found Republicans TO wear his particular
brand and badge of infamy in sufficient
numbers to outvote those two hundred
and odd thousand Democrats" The
Dispatch cannot refrain from calling at
tention to the ;'candor' of its confession;
but the outsider is merely reminded of
the old deacon who prayed: so Lord!
I know am a reprobate and a horse
thief but there is Deacon Jones; just
tend to him first and when you get
through with him, you'll be glad to for

TT MUST BE ENDED

The testimony taken ON Monday in the
investigation being conducted by the
congressional committee into the abuses
of hazing at the West Point Academy
win go far toward arousing the country
to that condition of popular feeling
which will wipe the entire brutal prac-
tice out of existence.
1t is Uncomfortable that those charged
with the management of the national
military academy should have tolerated
a line of conduct which might under
any circumstances end in the perpetra-
ton Of such infamies as those related
with reference to the cadet Breth.
Whatever it may be which has prevent
ed those in authority at West Point
from bringing the brutalities of hazing
to an end, it is quite plain now that
congress alone can end the entire dis
graceful procedure.
Left to themselves the authorities of
the war department will not effect the
necessary reform. The attempt at in
veshgation put forward by the military
body recently in session, proved, for all
practical purposes, as the Clio b e has
already pointed out, that no relief can
be looked for from that quarter.
The time for action has come. The
public do not need any further exposi-

EDDY OPPOSES IRELAND.

Special to Chicago Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The position of
postmaster in a second-elass posuoffice in
an obscure little country town IN Mime
sofa has become a bone of contention be-
tween Archbishop ireland and Congress-
man Frank Eddy The matter is up to
President Mckinley, and he is promised
just as much trouble as if he were trying
to award the premiums at a baby show
The incident shows that little things are
sometimes full of gunpowder, and that it
is generally best not to smoke in a dyna-
mite foundry
The archbishop did lots of good to the
Mckinley cause during the campaign,
and If he had asked for half dozen big
fat jobs the president would have felt like
handing them over with a cheerful coun-
tenance. But when, during a little So
cial visit the other day, he asked inciden-
tally for picayune postmastership up In
Minnesota, Mr.. Mckinley nearly dropped
stitch in his haste to comply.
About three days later a slouchy gen.
tleman with leathery countenance and
thick spectacles ambled into the presence
of the chief executive. He was a harm
less-looking object, but there was some
thing in the way he laid his battered felt
hat on q chair that suggested serious bus
mess. There was a certain directness
also about the way he announced his err
faIld, winch bespoke q nXed GeIermlna-
ton.
Its in regard to the appointment of Mr.
Blank to that postoffice in Wheatbelt
county, he began. NOW, have a great
respect for the Office of president of the
United States, and I have a lot Of respect
for the man who fills it," he continued
But I want to. say right here that 1

big to be mixed up with the appointment
of second-elass postmasters in my dis

day, sir"

said he, land have never during that
time asked personal favor. But this
man is exceedingly obnoxious to me, and

Now Mr.. Eddy and the archbishop are
waiting to see who will be appointed to
handle the letters and draw the small
salary in that village.

AMEs At HIS REST


The people of the city of Minneapolis.
sovereign IL ia
troll of their own affairs, have already
reaped some of the consequences which
they bespoke when a majority of the
voters among them declared in favor of
the election of Albert A. Ames as
mayor two months ago.
DR.. Ames has never been a trimmer in
politics. He has never set himself up
as a civil service reformer; and as a nom
partisan has not won any particular dis
friction. His adoption of the Republican
party as the political organization to
which to attach his faith in the future
came late in life, but it was not a half
hearted adoption in any sense. The open
ing act of his administration in dismiss

bers of the local police force on account
alone, evidently, of considera tons of ma
tionality or religion and his appointment.
in their stead of an equal number of per-
sonal adherents of more or less prom
inence in politics is entirely consistent
with his known character and disposition
| as a politician
1t is easy to tell Mayor Ames that he
has made a mistake. That kind of in
formation will not phase him in the least
He has won most of his prominence as a
public character by doing unexpected
things. Mistakes Of that general char
acter have distinguished him throughout
his checkered political career He is a
spells politician in the fullest sense in
which that term is used. He has simply
! done what there was the ampiest reas on
to know he would do. He has started in
to build up the Republican party of Min
neapolis, and there is no reason thus far
! given why either those who voted for
! him or who voted for the third candidate,
thereby assuring his election. should
have looked for different conduct On his
part. They invited just such happen
| ing, and it is little more than puerile on
their part to be engaged at this time in
expressing either surprise or disappoint-
1nent.
The situation presents itself to Mayor
Ames purely from the personal stand
point. His action is unworthy, looked at
from the broader point of view of the
public interest. But it is entirely legiti-
mate, as we have been in the habit of re-
garding the conduct of men in public Of
fee. n-partisanship, and the public
welfare generally, we are taught to be.
Ieve by our Republican friends demand
in practical operation the retention of
Republican partisans in office when the
wheel of politics revolves the wrong way.
Were Democratic executive to do such
an act as that which Mayor Ames has
just accomplished there would be. no end

tive so acting, but of the party with
which he was identified. AS it is there

Mayor Ames has laid the foundation OF
his personal and political machine. He
has thrown out, and will continue to
throw out of Office, where he is allowed to
do so by law every man, no matter what
his politics is. who does not worship at his
shrine. When he has built his machine

tons of brutalism in order to be salts
fed that the military academy is dis
gracing itself and INJECTING stain on
When it is possible for any one man or
any number of men to engage them
selves in the deliberate and fiendish tor
ture described as having been practiced
an institution maintained by the public
funds and for the education of men in
the refnements and amenities of life, as
well as in the professional direction in
tended, it is nigh time if necessary to
destroy the institution itself, If in no
other way such savage orgies can be
brought to an end
The o b has already urged on con-
gress the adoption of a measure which
would result in the irrevocabIe expulsion
of any cadet found abusing his fellows.
We have gone further than this, and
have urged that this result should be
undertaken with the distinct understand
ing that if it did not bring the practice
to an immediate end those in control at
West Point would be succeeded by men
who would bring it to an end by that or
some other means.
The amendment offered to the pending
army reorganization bill by Senator Vest
will prove a step taken in the right di-
rection. 1t is as follows:
''The officers in charge Of the West
Point military academy shall make and
enforce such rules and regulations as
viii prevent the practice of hazing; ana
any cadet found guilty of participating III
such practice shall be expelled from the
academy and shall not be re-appointed
to the corps of cadets therein"
This regulation may not of itself bring
hazing to a permanent close. 1t distinct
ly places the responsibility for its aboli
ton on the officers in charge at West
Point; and, in that regard, viii prove
more effective than any threat which
it embodies as to expulsion.
Naturally the continuance or ending
of the practice depends in greatest meas
ure on the cadets themselves. They can
carry it on within certain limits against
the utmost vigilance of their instructors.
If there could be q regulation established
by those instructors that each cadet in
his admission should give his word of
honor as a gentleman that he would re-
port any infractien of the law against
hazing, the end would soon be reached.
Congress should adopt the amendment
offered by Senator Vest. Indeed it should
make that provision more rigid in its re-
quirements, if possible. The practice has
already been abolished in the naval
academy by the action of the instructors.
1t can be abolished at West Point
through the same agency. It can
not be abolished otherwise. Fer
if the instructors at West Point thialz
they can continue to wink at the practice
they will do so. The knowledge of the
way in which the work was done at
Annapolis is at the disposal of those in
charge of West Point. The same rem
edies that proved effective in the one
case are bound to prove effective in the
other. If congress does it's full duty on
this subject the savagery of hazing will
be brought to an end within twenty-four
hours after the necessary law is passed.
