be remembered that he is also a typi-
cal Englishman and mature man Of
the world. Whatever may be his
thought as to how this South African
business might have been better
handled at the beginning IL is safe to
assume that he is in no present un-
certainty as TO how It must he closed
up in order to bring strength and Sc
curity to his loyal subjects in South
Africa and increased unity to his em-
pire. 1t is pltiable that the Boer lead
ers, who are obstinately leading their
poor followers further and further
along the pathway to beggary and de-
spair do not possess the gift of COM
mon sense as well as of courage and
zeal. But the very fact that they do
not adds to the necessity of British
supremacy as IL condition precedent to
South Africa's fullest development.

Douglas brought out map of the West, saying
that he intended to introduce a bill to torn
some new territories, and wanted Denver to
suggest appropriate names.

Douglas. pointing on the map to what is now
the state OF Colorado, I want name ior a

the Mexican war had made him familiar with
many Spanish words, and he remarked why

Denver replied that it meant mount ainous

exhibition Of this trait worked To Mr.. Gears
advantage.

Quaker.
I'VE learn, said the Quaker TO Mr.. Gear,
that thee dost not belong to any temperance
society, and that tnec dost take "A drink when IL

That is true" replied Mr. Gear without any
hesitation
'1hce art very tank" said the Quaker, "and
thy fr1nkncss Is more TO be commended than thy

smile approyingly and say:
"Wcll, that is ldndsclpc,' and he cur

Il you show him the verses you flashed OF
about moonlight at Atlantic city he reads then
carefully, and with the same emphasis on tho
verb he says;
"Wcll, that is a poem"
How well he succeeds in pleasing every bod,
without loading up his conscience with false
hoods You may know fIom the fact that hear
the mother Of gir who plays the piano tell
somebody that Mr.. Dash had spoken in the high
est terms of Janets playing, when I know per
icctly well that all hc had ever said to the gir

"HE REPORT OF the commit
tee of congress appointed to
- investigate hazing at West
Point military academy en-
bodies the conclusions already reached
hy intelligent readers of the news
papers--namely that the hazing prac-
ticcd has not been half as severe as
has been reported in the yellow jour
mails nor, on the other hand, has ii been
necessary or fair. Tomfooery is Il
natural development among young men
of high spirits but many of the forms
1t has taken at West Point are calcu-
lated to make the judicious grieve. For
this reason the bill which the commit
tee has recommended to congress as a
step in the direction of breaking up
hazing will be generally commended.
1t provides that the superintendent
Of the academy shall suppress all chal-
longe fighting and every form of hazing
by convening a court of inquiry and
taking other measures: that it shall be
the duty of every instructor TO report
10 the superintendent any reports of
hd1ing coming to his attention; that
any cadet concerned in any way. close
~ or remotely, with hazing shall be
dismissed; and that no cadet SO dis
missed shall be rcappointed to the ac-
adcmy or over be appointed in the
army, navy or marine corps; that any
cadet called upon shall be compelled to
answer all questions under pain of dis
hp nf
orcourt martial convened by the super
intendcnt shall fail to ascertain the
perpctrator or perpetrators of hazing,
the secretary Of war shall convene a
court OF inquiry for the same purpose
and that the secretary of war shall
assign To the academy Il sufficient num-
Der of army officers To carry out the
laws and regulations governing the
academy.
These measures will be cffectual only
- far as they have the moral support
of the cadets themselves Ways to
avoid amy regulations, however strin-
gent can usually be found when there
is serious effort to find them 1t is
therefore gratifying 10 note that in con-
sequence Of the recent agitation of the
matter the cadets appear 10 be willing
to forego most of their pranlSs and to
pledge themselves to behave as sane
young men should. If they can be en-
outraged To stick TO this good resolu-
ton aud to enact it as a part of the
academy's social code, the problem will
he solved. Otherwise it will reappear
at intervals, as it has reappeared
hitherto.

<ONJECTURES as towhat King

While armed resistance remains, the

and equally true in the Philippines.
There can be no doubt that the pub-
tic opinion of Great Britain, in COM

has undergone a change in its atti-

Wholly respectful and TO a notable de-

take very little encouragement along
diplomatic and conciliatory lines to
cause John Bull to fall an the Dutch

fireworks and banquets-that Is, con-
diuonal upon the farmers showing a
disposition to accept the hopeless odds
of warfare and cast himself upon Brit

stubborn, too. and Notwithstanding
that all thought of glory or glamor
