AS for That School of Bu;Iies.

The average American citizen will
not he pleased with the intimation
contained 10 yesterday morning's dis
patches as to what the secretary of
war may or may not conclude to do in
the BOoz case. There are many ex-
cadets living today, and probably
more dead, who were forced to resign
from that school of bruisers because
OF infirmities resulting from brutal
treatmen The claim that the officers
at West Point are unable to crush out
hazing is all bosh. Such an assertio on
is equivalent to an admission of in
competency. Congress having taken
the matter in hand should delegate its
authority to no one, much less to army
officers or to the war department. but
should proceed to re-establish the
government of the institution on new
lines or otherwise completely reorgan-
ize the school. Great commanders are
not necessarily british in their in
stincts, or even wanting in the more
refined sensibilities. In fact. an officer
who is Incapable of sympathizing
with suffering is unfit to command

Swiss Railroads.
ABSOLUTELY PURE
ROYAL eAkiNe eoMpeR co.. new Yoax

They have very crude and oppres-
sive way of handling the railroad
business in Switzerland. About two
years ago the government bought the
entire railroad system of the natio
and proceeded to show what it could
do. After increasing the wages reduc.
ing the hours of the employees, and
reducing the tariff to one-third of it's
former rate on both freight and pass
engers, the officials were not satisfied
and put in system of season tickets
by buying one of which for SIG YOU
can ride on any railroad in the nation
as often as you please, as long as you
please aud at any time within it's limit
that you please. Did you ever hear of
such oppression? Was ever tyranny
more tyrannous? How thankful we
should be that we live in free country
where we have to pay 3 cents mile to
travel, have to use the ticket on the
day of purchase or lose it, where we
have to sign our name and prove our
identity to every conductor, where we
are looked upon with suspicion when
ever we present a coupon ticket for
fear we have patronized scalper-
you bet, how thankful that we live in
a free country. And what is worse,
the government of Switzerland re-
celves enough returns to pay the inter-
est on 800, 900 mile which it paid for
the railroads and is laying by a sink
ing fund that will wipe out the debt in
5O years. But then the Swiss are
heathens and don't know nothin' no.
