GOV HUNTS MESSAGE.
Some Good Advice to Mem.
berS of the Legislature.


Governor Hunts message is
about 5000 words in length. In
the opening paragraph he deals at
some length with the bonded in
debtedness Of the state and the
states finances in general. He
shows the state is on a cash basis
and warrants are ut a premium oil
from to 2 per cent. The Cover.
nor recommends that the legislature
at once take up the subject of the
new code and give it earnest con-
sideration. He advises the re.
building of the Soldiers Home,
lately destroyed by fire.
The reference Ia the message
to the Occur d. Alene riots is brief.
1t rccites that the cost to the state
Of the labor troubles has been
$50, $40. 46, and recommends that
this be borne entirely by the state,
advising an issue Of bonds to cover
it. He does not think any portion
Of it should be saddled on the
county Of Shoshone, where the
trouble occurred.
The governor urges the adoption
of some scheme Of arbitration that
"can be put into force and effect
to settle differences between labor
and capital.
On the matter of taxation oil
mines he suggests a maximum and
minimum rate of assessment on
non.producing properties by acre.
age and that producing properties
be assessed on basis of their net
output. He urges sufficient apprO-
priations for the Office OF mine in
spector and recommends the in
creased taxation of insurance com.
panies, with the appointment Of a
commissioner OF insurance.
Another recommendation is that
new building be erected for the
supreme court and for law
library. The great value of the
Office OF state engineer is set forth
and the legislature is urged to give
it proper support.
The governor asks for legislation
obliging common carriers and news
associations to refrain from favOrit-
ism in their service. This is con-
strned as being aimed at the Asso.
ciated Press.
He urges the legislature to dis
pose Of the senatorship as soon as
possible and to refrain from the
introduction and printing Of a
multitude Of bills.
He favors municipal ownership
in strong language and urges legis-
lation to facilitate it. He also
asks for a memorial to congress
against the admission OF oriental
labor.

The Sampson Incident.

Closely following upon the hysterical
outburst of Mr.. Long the other day, on
yesterday the President did something to
assuage the grief of his Naval Secretary by
sending to the Senate the names Of Of
ficers whom he desires to have promoted
for services. real or alleged, In the great
naval engagement off Santiago Harbor. As
on previous occasion, the list is SO ar
ranged that Rear Admiral Sampson, who
was not near the battle. and would not
have been legally in command of the fleet
had he been present, is to be promo ed
over the head OF Rear Admiral Schley,
who commanded In the fight, and won the
victory over the Spanish Vice Admiral Ger
vera. In the present instance 1t is pro-
posed TO advance Sampson Eve numbers
and Schley three. This would reverse
their present relative positions. as Schley
now ranks Sampson.
This action o.. the part OF President Nc
Kinley Is a blistering insult to the Amer
lean people, whose deliberate and final
judgment regarding the man who de-
stroyed the Spanish ships, and the person
who was hull down behind the horizon"
when that happened, has long since been
registered. Just why The President per-
sists in this course we are at loss to
imagine. He learned. on the occasion OF
his first effort TO perpetrate this injus-
tice. that it would be bitterly resented by
the country. That was sufficient to call
an Administration halt in the matter I'M
til after the Presidential election, and In
view of the fact. repetition OF the attempt
at this time makes IL doubly affronting.
II Rear Admiral Sampson must neces-
sariIy be rewarded for sinking the tell
tale Merrimac, or for suppressing any
thing in connection with the truth about
the destruction of the battleship Maine.
there ought to be ways and means open
10 the Administration and its powerful
friends TO accomplish the result without
resort to SO cold bIooded and disgraceful
a course as that now being pursued.
We say again that in nominating Rear
Admiral Sampson for promotion over his
superior officer, Rear Admiral Schley, the
victor of santiago, President Mckinley

DIR. PATTON CRITICISED.
His Remarks Resented by Pennsy1-
vania University Alumni.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 14.-Some of the
remarks alleged to have been made by
President Francis l. Patton, of Princeton
University. in his address at the banquet
of the Philadelphia Princeton Alumni
Society Tuesday evening. have been the
subject of considerable adverse comment
among the students and faculty of the
University of Pennsylvania. The remarks
attributed to President Patton, which
were so offensive to the students of Penn
sylvania, were made when he is said TO
have referred to the greatness of Prince
ton as an institution which was great
before a British soldier set foot on Jersey
soil or Washington crossed the Della
ware" and which will be great when
the future citizen from the State OF Luzon
sits on a span of the Schuylkill bridges
and seeks in vain for the site of the
University of Pennsylvania.
prominent member of the University
of Pennsylvania faculty was shown the
statement made by DR.. Patton, and re-
marked: 81 am surprised to learn that
President Patton or any other fair minded
person would make such an offensive
vania at all; certainly he might have done
so in more courteous manner. All loyal
Pennsylvanians viii resent the remarks
as uncalled for and discourteous in the
extreme"
The students feel that DR.. Patton had
no grounds for making SUCH an unfair
comparison between Princeton and Penn
sylyania.

Great Britain to the world.

King Edwards first speech from the
throne can only have the effect of accent
uating the world opinion that things are
looking gloomy for the Empire TO the few
people who are behind the scenes of the
great international theatre. One cannot
read it without being struck with its DOM
inant note of doubt and sadness. His
Majesty's reference to the South African
war. which, he said, has not entirely
terminated" was without a suggestion Of
confidence in the immediate or any other
future. He expressed the hope that the
"Boer partisans in the former territories
of the two Republics" would soon submit
in their own interests. Naturally, he de-
plored the losses of the war, but a short
paragraph in the speech suficed for the
whole subject. King Edward spoke OF the
capture of Pekin, of the proposed visit OF
the Duke of York and Cornwall TO Aus
tralia to open the first Parliament of the
Continental Confederation, and to Canada;
referred TO the successful termination of
British operations against the rebellious
Ashantees, and to the Indian famine. and
legislation which the Government propos-
ed laying before Parliament at its present
session. He notified the House of Com
mons that the financial estimates to be
submitted would show an inevitable in
crease.
From the opening Of the speech, in
which the King reverted feelingly 90 the
death OF Her Majesty his mother, to the
end of it, there was nothing joyful moth
ing insplriting: no new leaders trumpet
call to arms. 1t was. in fact, depressing. No
doubt the closing words of our London
cable account OF the ceremony are abso-
lutely correct. 1t says: Although the
King suppressed all traces of emotion dur
ing the delivery of his speech, its effect
on the audience was the reverse of SAN
guine."

ms been made necessary by the closer
union of society which has come from
greater facilityof communicationand inter
dependence of classes. The individual is no
longer so dependent upon his family as he
formerly was, but, on the other hand, he
is so dependent upon society that a
change in public sentiment had TO take
place If all mankind was not to be re-
duced &c what Emerson calls a mere mush
of concession. The so-called emancipa-
ton of women is only one phase of this
great general change. There is more
freedom in family relations than there
used to be- and, in general, the change is
a very good one.
There can be no question that in order
to be effective in the work OF the world,
either intellectually or morally. every
man must stand alone. He must be him
self, and do what he believes to be right,
irrespective of what somebody else thinks
he should do. If he abiures thing which
his own judgment and moral sense tell
him he ought to do, or TO have, because
somebody else thinks he should abjure it,
and the chances are that he is no hero.
In certain cases man may have a perfect
right to some pleasure or ambition, and
freely give it up for the sake of some one
whose judgment he does not respect, but
TO whose feelings he defers, though it cost
him the happiness of his life. That man
may be n hero, but he may also be vic
tim of false sentiment. The real problem
in the matter is not whether he should be
willing to make the sacrifice, but whether
anybody should ask him to do it. The plot
of a novel which was popular some years
ago turned on a problem of this kind. The
heroine had given her word to marry one
man, and subsequently gave her heart TO
another. The teaching of the author was
apparently that it was noble and heroic
thing for her to keep her word at the ex
pense of the happiness of at least two,
and perhaps three, people, and apparent
ly nobody had the sense to see that when
she married, for reasons of state, a man
whom she did not love, she was doing him
as we'll as herself about the greatest in
Jury possible.
True individualism does away with all
such rubbish, and teaches each individual
to consult, not the ideas of the whole
community in regard TO his private af
fairs which do not concern them, but his
own moral sense; and the standard which
he evolves in that way is likely TO stand
the strain of great temptation, which
is more than can be said of the charac-
ter manufactured by public opinion.
1t may almost be said that no one ar
rives at true maturity until he has, at
least once in his life, made decision in
opposition to the advice of ell who have
hitherto been his guides. However near
and dear ones advisers may be, there
almost always comes time when their
judgment is not as good as ones own. In
any case. one cannot continually live on
the opinions of others without becoming
weakwilled There is no development TO
be found in being ruled by syndicate of
friends.
