AN INCIDENT AT ANNAPOLIS.
A Navnl Cadet Degraded because o
His Kindness of Heart

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Jan. 5.-For drawing
the line a little too closely between duty
and friendship, one of the mosr popular
cadets at the Naval Academy is in dis
grace. and all of his comrades are try
ing to show their sympathy. Owing TO
the strictness of the rules at the Acad-
envy, there is also a strict code among
the cadets whereby each protects the
other as much as possible. A cadet Off
Ger who goes out of his way 70 get a
schoolmate in trouble is considered about
as mean a person as possible. At the
same time. when a cadet is on duty he
is in honor bound to report all breaches
of order.
At one of the evening meals at the
Academy last week the officer in charge
heard some one singing. For this grave
breach of order he went to the cadet
officer In charge and told him that some
one must be reported. The cadet officer
found that two cadets were offending.
One of these had so many dement's that
another report would have expelled him
from the Academy, and the second begged
that he be given the report alone. The
cadet in charge, not wishing to be the
cause of another cadets dismissal. made
the report against one only.
In some way this became known to the
officer, who regarded it as most serious
matter. Now the cadet officer is one of
the most arauirrn- and ncre..r of tbs
members OF the graduating class He
stands high in his studies. has an import
ant position in the cadet battalion, and
is a prominent member of the Young
Mems Christian Association. Although
his only fault is due to the kindness of
his heart, he was given seyenty-hve de-
merits and had his rank taken away. One
hundred and fifty dement's means expul-
sion.
This punishment was regarded as Sc
we're by the cadets. and they resolved to
show their displeasure in an unusual
manner. When the time came for the
officer to be again in charge OF the din
ing hall the cadets filed in and took their
seats, but instead of the lively chatter
that usually enlivens the meal every
cadet remained silent the whole period |
The officer did not like 1t. but there was |
no definite breach of discipline. The ca |
diets were not obliged to talk. and evil
dence of a design was lacking, so it was !
wisely resolved not 70 take any notice |
of the AFFAIR. !

New York Business Men Handing To-

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.--Cornelius n Bliss,

10 accept the presidency OF the Business
Mems Sound Money Association. OF which
the late William L. Strong was the head.

Nr. Bliss revealed the fact that number
OF influential merchants connected with the
association have rnder consideration a
plan to make the association the nucleus

organization of the coming municipal cam
paign.
Il is the intention to utilize the forces
that worked and voted for sound money

pcrate club to be composed of members
OF the Sound Money League, which shall
become the leader and main factor In the
anti-Tammany fight. The plan was I'M
folded to Mr.. Bliss and the presidency OF
tho association and club was offered to
him
Mr.. Bliss expressed himself heartily in
sympathy with the scheme and said he
would give it all the support he could.
but he would not become leader OF the
movement. 1t was a great task to under
take and to make it success, OF which
he had no doubt. 1t would require all his
time and attention which he could not
AFFORD to give. He had neglected his bus
mess too long by devoting himself to pub
lie affairs. His decllnation. he said. was
irreyocable.
The association viii probably try to in

Money in Politics.

urom the indianapolis News)
We doubt whether there is in the United States
any hostility to wealth wealth, or any en-
nifty toward rich men simply because they are
rich. Even the trusts not viewed with any
great alarm simply industrial combinations
It is possible, indeed, that the people do not
sufficiently appreciate the dangers involved in
these combinations OF capital. But there is
strong feeling that there is too close a connec-
ton between business and politics, and that the
reform most needed at the present time is the
destruction, or at least the lessening, OF the
influence of rich Oil legislation.
