GOVERNOR V4PDAMAN.

Governor Vardaman of Mississippi has said
and done many things deserving of severe con-
demnation The Tribune has felt compelled TO
take a leading part in the general censure to
which he has exposed himself, and for that rea-
son is under a special obligation to speak with
respect and admiration of his resOlute endeavors
to save an accused negro from the fury of the
mob
In urging upon hostile groups of men infamed
with vindictive passions and eager to join in
an act of vengeance a consideration of their
duty to obey the law, in offering a reward out
of his own pocket for the safe delivery of the
negro at the Jail and in commanding the Sheriff
to defend his prisoner at ali hazards Governor
Vardaman showed unfinching courage and a
high sense of responsibility. If all public Of
hcials shared his adherence of IawIessness
masquerading as the higher law and his intrepid
spirit mob rule would soon be left with few de-
tenders and no field in which to practise its
CnOrmities

ANOTHER GREAT RAILWAY TUNNEL

Il.
The virtual completion of the SimpIon tunnel
is chiefly interesting because it is the longest
conduit of its kind in the world and because
the construction has proceeded with remarka BILE
rapidity. Less than six years and a half have
elapsed since 1t was begun. Of the two mas
Sages which have been opened, only one will be
ready for railway traffic in the immediate fut-
ure, the other needing great enlargement before
it becomes available for similar service The
perfOration Of Mont Cenis took thirteen years
and that of st. GOthard nearly nine and half
and yet both of those tunnels are much shorter
One is little more than seven miles long and the
other is nine and half, while the distance he
tween the ends of the Simplon tunnel is twelve
and four-tenths miles. Along most Of the wav
It was necessary to cut through solid granite
but recent Improvements in drils-most of them
trifing-have made it possible to make better
progress than was accomplished ten or fifteen
years ago.
The most novel engineering feature of the
enterprise seems to have been the plan adopted
for overcoming the heat always encountered in
the heart of a mountain. The highest temper
ature found in the Mont Cenis tunnel was So
degrees Fahrenheit. and the maximum in the
st. GOthard tunnel exceeded this by ONLY two
degrees One would not imagine that such an
environment would be particularly trying to
workmen and il probably not, but there
was danger of taking cold on emerging from
the heading. Computation led the engineers to
expect temperature of over 100 degrees Fahr-
enheit in the SmpOn tunnel and the anticipa-
tion was fully realized. To insure comfort at
the scene of operations current of air. arti-
fcially cooled, forced in from outside 1t
then became necessary TO provide means of
escape for the air Otherwise there would be no
circulation For that purpose the adjacent
parallel passage was utilized holes being cut I'm
the intervening wall at suitable intervals all of
them except the innermOst being stopped as tbe
heading advanced.
Even after track is laid in the u1nneI and
connections are made with existing Swiss and
Italian railways little practical benefit will he
derived from the newly opened route for sew
eral years. A short tunnel under the Jurs
range must be constructed before that under
the Simplon Pass will be useful 1t Is predict
ed that the time between Paris and Milan will
then be shortened by between three and q half
and five hours and that a saving of $50 miles
will be effected in the distance which the mail
for India will be obliged to travel on its way
from London to Brindisi, which is equivalent TO
four or five hours. To Americans these advan-
tages seem small compared with the cost of the
work, which will probably not fall much short
of $1SO00,000 or $20,OO0,O00. If European capi-
talists are willing to invest their money in such
manner, however, perhaps nobody else has
right to find fault. AT any rate, the audacity
and ingenuity of the engineers who proposed
and carried through this vast undertaking will
inspire universal admlra ton

STUDENTS WITH RIGHT IDEAS

The board of students of Columbia University
to whom the question of the hazing of Kingdom
Gould was referred some time ago by President
Butler has submitted a report which seems to
have obtained the approval of those who con-
suited the members of the classes. This report
is of especial value expressing the delib-
crate Judgment of right feeling members of
the student body in repressing the outrageous
extremities of students in the university. The
practice of hazing has lost its popularity among
the young men of the most important colleges
and universities in this country and in others
This valuable progress has been noteworthy.

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

There are many grounding stories but this one.
coming from Louisville is prize one: Rudolph
Hsrting a druggist, is probably the first man to
prove the ancient grounding story, but he has GER
tainly demonstrated the fact by actual test Hart
ing was presented with grounding last fall He
made for his pet a warm house and fed him till he
was fat When the weather became cold the hog
laid himself down, and no amount of coaxing could
arouse him. A few weeks ago Mr. Hartng. an
ticipating that he would get up February 2.
placed under him six hens eggs. On Thursday,
February six wee chickens broke through the
eggsheIs and nestled themselves about the strange
incubator That day the grounding awoke, got up.
and, playing about for time viewing curiously his
companions, laid himself down and is again fast
asleep.
New-York tribune., 1905-02-25

In England, Germany and France as wen as
in America the practice OF hazing IS swiftly
passing into desuetude among students Young
men i'll greater numbers in the foremost 1nstl-
tutions of the world are realizing the real worth
and value of training. and are becoming more
and more careful of their opportunities. Presl-
dent Butler of Columbia is anxious for the thor
ough and cordial establishment of a method
by which the authorities of the university may
obtain recommendations from the board OF stu
dent representatives; and this important aid
they should always be able to obtain when 1t
is needed

The following paragraph from Macauiay's es-

not undeserving of consideration by those who
are interested in the woes and fate of Russia:
The ordinary sophism by which misrule is defend
ed is when truly stated. this: The people must
continue in slavery because slavery has generated
in them all the vices of slaves Because they are
ignorant they must remain under power whlch
has made and which keeps them ignorant Because
they nave been made ferociOus by misgoVernment
they must be misgoverned forever. IL the system
under which they live mild and liberal that
under it's operation they had become humane ana
enlightened, 1t would be safe to venture on
change. Rut 2s this system has destroyed morality
and prevented the development of the intellect as
