CADETS GOT PLACES.

The five cadets dismissed from West
Point the other day were fortunate in
finding a friend in Gen. Francis e.
Greene, the chief official of the New York
and Bermuda Asphalt Company When
they left West Point Academy their in
tention was to go to Washington and see
If they could not be reinstated-that IS,
they intended to see some of their politi-
cal friends, with the view of bringing
influence to bear on the government in
their behalf They would have accom-
plished nothing, however, because at it's
last session Congress enacted a law pre-
venting dismissed cadets from being re-
stored to the academy after dismissal. or
from being reappointed until two years
after the graduation of the class to which
they belonged. When they were dis
missed, therefore, they were out of the
academy to stay. If they had been lit
tie better informed in respect to the law
it is probable they would not have been
so hasty in committing acts of insubor-
dination.
Owing to the kindness of Gen. Greene
they will all be provided with good places,
and if they prove themselves worthy may
yet have creditable careers. They have
had lesson that will doubtless have a
beneficial effect on them. The six cadets
who were suspended will have to drop
back into the class that is next to the
one TO which they belonged. Because OF
their misconduct they will graduate a
year later than they would II they had
shown proper regard for the discipline Of
the academy.
The sentence imposed on the eleven ca
diets will no doubt be generally approved
The point had been reached where disci
pline had to be maintained or the insti-
tuition would go down in ruin. The ca
diets had ample warning that hazing and
other prohibited acts would no longer b,
tolerated. The outcome of the Booz IN
vestigation, which was conducted by 6
committee of Congress, was sufficient t.
convince them of that. They refused 4
be warned. however, thinking perhaps
that the government was not in earnest
They found out to their cost that it wa
very much in earnest. The drastic pun
ishment melted out to the ringleaders o
the offenders will have an excellent eff

The author of Life and Sport on the
Pacific Slope" says that in assemblages
where a little patience and good humor
temper what is disagreeable the people
of the Pacific slope are at their best.
Once, az a performance of some play,
several youths were guying the principal
character. to the annoyance of everybody
else. Suddenly a man said to them, very
politely:
That lady on the stage is making so
much noise that we cannot hear what you
are saying. But l hope we shall have
the pleasure of listening to your criti-
cisms later, when the act is over" ST.
lence followed the remark.
Al times something more forcible is
needed. A certain woman had one day
been rudely treated by a minor railway
official She was very indignant, and
quite az loss for words; but she had a
saving sense of humor, and turned to a
stranger at her elbow.
Sir" said she, will you tell this man
what l think of him?"
The stranger, without betraying the
least excitement, said in melancholy
drawI:
Sir this woman thinks you are an un-
derstrapper, clothed with a little brief
authority, whose only qualification for the
place you occupy is your extraordinary
impudende.".

FLoRIDA,s ESCAPE.

At no time did the saloon interests OF
Florida seem greatly disturbed by the dis
pensary bill that was Killed in the Senate
Of that state on Thursday by vote OF
Is 10 Is on a motion 10 strike out the
enacting clause. When the Dill was III
troduced there were rumors that the pur-
nose of It was to tax the liquor interest
for the benefit Of the lobby. Whether
there was foundation for these rumors
or not we do not know, but the discus
sion of the bill disclosed the fact that
there were some very earnest advocates
of it in both the House and the senate
In killing the bill. however. the state
escaped from a very unpleasant condition
of affairs. out and out prohibition is bet
ter than a dispensary system. 1t is prac-
tically impossible to keep such system
out of politics There is nothing elevat-
ing in combination of politics and
whisky. Whisky is almost certain to
drag politics down to its level. and, under
no circumstances, is politics upon too
high a plane.
AS far as we have observed the dis
pensary system has not been a success in
South Carolina. 1t has been a source OF
trouble ever since ii was adopted. 1t Is
pretty safe to say there has been more
bad whisky consumed in the state an
nually, since the establishment of dispen-
saries. than when saloons were licensed
Counties and cities have been deprived of
a vast amount of revenue and the state
hasn't got great deal from the whisky
trade At the same time the cities and
some of the counties have had to endure
al of the evils that flow from the liquor
traffic. The blind tigers have taken the
place of saloons.
1t is probable that the hotel interest
was against the dispensary bill Shut up
the hotel bars and Florida would lose
half of it's tourist trade Most of the
seekers of a good winter climate would
go to California rather than give up their
whisky toddies and champagne. The only
sure way to get rid of the evils of the
liquor traffic is to educate the people
against whisky drinking. Local option is
the best method yet tried for dealing with
the whisky evil. 1t is slow, but tolerably
sure

Mr.. Greatsinger leaned back in
his chair and looked at the ceiling, says
Success. He had just been elected presi-
dent of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Rail-
road Company, twenty years after start
ing as fireman on another road 1T
isn't always easy to tell how things are
done" he said, but you may be sure
of this much: 1t was no accident that |
was promoted, and it was no piece of
luck, as people sometimes think There
is general disposition to call the results
of mans earnest striving and endeavor
the labor of years, luck This is ridicu-
lous. No man ever accomplished any
thing permanent without lots of hard
work, and the young fellow who starts
out with the hope of winning through
luck is sure to fail, to fail badly. We
all rise, step by step, and every man
must carve his own steps for himself
Sometimes the stone is hard for carving,
but the man who carves most diligently
and persistently has his steps ready first,
and so he rises above the others who
carve at intervals and take long vaca-
tons. l certainly do not want to appear
egotistical but simple honesty requires
me to say that l have always believed in
working hard. Don't you consider this a
sufficient explanation of how 1 did it? "

PURPOSE OF THE ALDERMEN.

1t is expected that, Notwithstanding the
protest of nearly every one Of the Gas
ton street property owners and the veto
OF the Mayor, the board of aldermen will
stand together and pass the ordinance for
paving chat street over the veto. why
the aldermen persist in their purpose Of
disregarding the wishes OF their constit-
uents and the property owners is some
thing that is extremely difficult TO under
stand.
II II is absolutely necessary that a Wit
rined brick pavement shall be put down
somewhere adjacent to the park, why
not pave that section OF whitaker street
between CASTOR and Park avenue? A brick
pavement on that street would. notwith-
standing the car tracks make the street
useful, and would relieve Drayton street.
which, at certain hours OF the day, Is
too crowded for comfortable, or even safe
driving.
The paving of that section OF Whitaker
street would complete fine drive around
the park and parade ground.
II compromise could be made. by
which a part OF CASTOR street and the
part OF whitaker street already mentioned
would be paved everybody would be salts
fed. and the whole city benefited. There
would be another well paved thorough.
fare where one is much needed as well
as popular pleasure drive.

When woman comes to believe in the
equality of the sexes, she has come down
to mans level.
The best proof that woman is better
than man is that she is so willing to let
him make her worse.
No man knows what he will do II he
gets married, and no woman knows what
she will do II she doesn't.
II there were no love, there would
still be marriage, but If there were no
marriage there would be no love.
Every woman has a story, which always
makes the men tired. about a man who
was kept from some terrible crime by
kissing a little baby.
There Is nothing like a new baby to
knock women's clubs and politics out of

A PLArFoRM FOR AL.

In a recent interview published in the
Kansas City Times Senator Morgan OF
Alabama said: IF the platform makers
for our national elections would say that
the Democratic party is opposed to all
abuses of the power of taxation because
such abuses are opposed to the ancient
creed that demands equal right for ALL
with exclusive privileges to none, and if
the orators and writer's would show up
the many and terrible abuses Of the power
of taxation that are inflicted upon the
people, the fact would at once appear
that there are many more than enough
Democrats in the United States to elect
a Democrat TO the presidency"
When leading Democrats talk like this
there is some hope that the two wings Of
the Democratic party will succeed in get
ting together before the next national
election.
There is undoubtedly a growing feel
ing that the tariff is to be the great is
sue in the next national campaign. The
tariff must be attacked in order to reach
the trusts-the trusts which seem to be
getting the government within their
grasp Those which have been organ
lied do not seem to satisfy the trust pro-
motors. and MI Morgan. the organizer
OF the bilIion-dollsr steel trust. is now
thinking of organizing banking trust
that will be greater than the United
States Treasury or the Bank of England.
Yes there are many and terrible
oh, I'll ~ oh,
enables the steel trust, for instance, to
compel home consumers to pay more for
its products than it gets from foreign
consumers The President, shrewd politi
clan as he is, sees that the time is at
hand when theYe must be a modification
of the tariff-when the tariff wall must
be lowered. He has been saying as much
recently in his speeches. The Republican
party is not In a position, however, to
deal with the tariff as 1t ought to be
dealt with. 1t is in the grasp of the
trusts 1t is in their grasp so firmly
that it cannot get out.
The Democratic party is the party of
the people and is free to reform the tar
if. 1t can do IT because IL has never
favored high tariff. and also because
it has no entangling alliances with
trusts. Let it take hold of the tariff
question in the right way and let it make
it the principal issue in the next national
campaign. If it does so 1t will sweep
the country. Even the millions of dollars
of compaign contributions from trusts
win not be serious barrier to it's on
ward march to victory.

How 70 SION speiIhlnder.

A new method Of cutting of a cam
paign orator was sprung in one of the
river wards of Chicago a short time ago.
says the Chicago Chronicle.
A meeting had been called in one of
the large halls of the ward in behalf of
a local candidate. 1t was one of those
halls Used indiferenty for political meet
ing. pleasure club dances and amateur
theatricals There was a stage with
heavy drop curtain, footlights and all the
other accessories.
The hall was filled with ward "constits,"
and it was time for the speaking to
begin, but the curtain did not go up.
Shortly people in the crowd noticed that
there was something doing" on the
stage, although no one knew just what
was happening. The curtain would
bulge, first in one place and then in an
other, and then it would flap back and
forth violently.
This soon stopped, but still no orator
appeared and the curtain hung stoidly
in its place. Finally couple of curious
politicians went behind the scenes to see
what was up. Then the curtain went up
and the crowd saw a man sitting Imply
in a chair. His clothes were half torn off
him. his face was scratched and bleeding
his hair disheveled. But what the crowd
noticed first was that he was tied hand
and foot and had a gag in his mouth
1t was the chosen orator of the evening,
and when he was released from his bonds
this was the speech he made:
"Gentlemen: 1 came down here to talk
to you tonight on the issues of the cam
paign. While 1 was back here on the
stage three masked men suddenly sprung
at me from the wings, bound and gagged
me and took my watch, my money and
my diamond stud. If some kind friend
will now lend me street car fare 1 will
leave this neighborhood and 1 won't come
back to it's hospitable boundaries again
in hurry. You are fine people down
here. 1 was a stranger and you took me

that a new political party be formed, to

similar, and to include both the Populist

The temperance committee of the
Presbyterian General Assembly at Phil
adelphia the other day submitted a re-
port in which it was stated that the army
authorities should create a substitute
for the canteen. The Presbyterian min
listers were active in having the canteen
abolished What sort OF substitute did
tie gentlemen of the committee have in
mind? 1t is very well known that the
post canteen, at which only beer and
light wines were sold. has now been sue
ceeded by saloons near the posts where
vile and fiery liquors are dispensed to the
soldiers Thus the reformers have play
ed right into the hands of the saloon
keepers, and the percentage of drunk
enness among the soldiers has been con-
siderably increased. Army officers have
always contended that the canteen was
an institution that aided temperance, be-
sides furnishing a sort of social club for
the men. Now, what sort of substitute
would the ministers recommend? Would
they suggest a club-room without the
beverages?
