the smaller scholars has undergone a

of the principal Is a unique room, fill
ed with curios Of many years travel
and research. The dining room instead
of having one long table is now fitted
out with several small ones and so on
throughout the entire changes are evil

In Wyckoff Hall alterations are also
noticeable. In the assembly room are

maps. In the basement are the labor
atories and baths on the second floor

IT HE Dover Index fatty denies that
4 there is or ever was a column in
the state House to which slaves in the
old days were chained and beaten. We
expected this denial, as we never heard
the story before. And yet Mr.. Fair
banks says that the Governor Of Dela-
ware told him so. We never suspected
our Chief Executive had such a power
ful imagination. The Index says;
It was a surprise TO the people who
heard Senator Fairbanks when he de-
clared that Governor HUM had shown
him column in the State House where
slaves were chained and beaten. Such
a gross misrepresentation cannot pass
unnoticed by the people Of Delaware.
Either Governor HUM deceived Mr.
Fairbanks or else Mr.. Fairbanks made
a serious msstatement which cannot be
justified under any circumstances.
There is no column in the State House
where slaves were chained and beaten,
nor has there ever been any.

Snake Culture in Australia.

From the Kansas City Journal.
Snakes, according TO the prevailing
popular notion, should be killed al
sight as utterly useless and positively
dangerous creatures, but in Australia
they are now being systematically rear.
ed for the sake of their skins. which
have a considerable commercial value
IN London, Paris and New York. Snake
skin is the fashionable material for
slippers, belts, bags purses, oard cases
Jewel boxes. dressing table. accessor-
les, etc. Rabbit trappers supplement
their means considerably by catching
young snakes and extracting the pol
sonous fangs. The blacks are also ex-
pert snake catchers. To them the
snake is an article OF diet.

GENERAL Of our contemporaries
- have thought best to devote con-
siderable space TO us recently, doubt
less with the idea Of leading us into
those tranquil paths where thought is
not required and where the thorns
which prick the feet Of the investigator
may be avoided. II must be pleasant to
be party organ IN the sense in which
these contemporaries understand the
ermfn here arc no perplexities. The edi-
torial pen concerns itself with only two
lines OF thought: eulogy and denuncia-
tion Every act OF the meanest Official
Of your own party is wise, patriotic and
for the public good; every act Of the
opposition Is reasonable. wicked and
damnable. with these outlines in
mind the editor Of the party organ may
avoid all criticism and MI unnumbered
columns with unobiectionable remarks,
since nobody will read them.
We want to give an Illustration to
make our point clear: A State conven-
ton is called for the purpose Of nam
ing ticket. It solmenly nomlnates
candidate for Governor. and he ac-
cepts With the understanding that he is
TO be voted for. The leaders impress
the party organ with the fact that the
candidate viii under no circumstances
be taken OF. Now the party organ
thinks that action is wise and proper
and. therefore. declares that the cam
didate for Governor VIII not be taken
on the ticket.
Then the state committee meets and
passes a resolution which seeks to wipe
out the whole state ticket. and then
It adjourns. expecting the party organ
to do the rest. 1t must inform the peo-
pie that the state committee has per-
formed a wise and patriotic act There
is but one thing for the party organ
to do; II must say that the act Of nom-
mating candidate under solemn
pledges to stand by him was wise and
proper, and that the resolution to elm
mate him without his consent is also
wise and proper. Why, we see. the
thing is easy. 1t is just as easy TO put
that in type as anything else.
But is is possible for a newspaper TO
b. the organ OF a party in the sense
that Il stands for the principles OF that
party, while aiming to be perfectly
honest with rs readers, and while be-
ing determined to expose and denounce
any attempt to betray the party's true
disciples and friends. How much re-
spect could an organ command were
Il known that It had determined In ad-
vance to back up every fool act Of any
body who by a prank Of fate happens
TO get on a subcommittee.

Strange as It may seem. its early sup

Yet another generation has produced
