DISCIPLINE AT WEST POINT.

The dismissal of five cadets and the
suspension of six others for gross vio-
lation of rules and open insubordina-
ton should impress upon the West
Point youngsters the lesson they have
needed for long time. The cadets ap-
pear to have failed to realize that il
is their first duty to obey, and that
when hazing was prohibited they were
put upon their military honor to ab.
stain from the forbidden practice.
When one of their number was caught
hazing another and properly punished
any demonstration of disapprovaI OF
the action of the authorities was
mutiny on their part, and mutlny is the
most serious crime soldier can com.
matt. Dismissal is light punishment

NO DANGER FOR THE SOUTH.

Senator Carmack, of Tennessee, says
that if the negro were entirely elimi-
mated from politics there would be a
stronger tendency in the part of south
ern whites to divide on party lines.
In spite of the predominance OF the
democrats in the south there is prob
ably more division of opinion on the
great political and economic ques-
tions than shows on it's surface. The
race question, while it still controls
votes, is a sort of an element under
meath the surface and is rarely referred
to in public manner. There is no like
Ilhood, however, that the southern
whites will risk a return to RECONSTRUCT
ton days by any extensive division. 1t
would probably be better for The south
ern states if there were more uncertain
contests for state officers. Unrestrained
power is almost sure to breed abuse,
but it will be good many years before
the southern white man will consent to
a division that may be fatal to our po-
litical and material interests.
