THE MERIWETHER CASE.

Whatever may be the outcome
Of the court martial that is trying
Minion Meriwether, Jr., Of this
state, on various charges, includ-
ing the crime Of manslaughter,
the public Will sympathize with
this young man. Unless the facts
are greatly distorted, this youth,
when he entered our naval ac-
ademy at Annapolis, was sub
| jected to a course of treatment
that was humiliating in the ex-
IRENE. 1t does not justify his
| prosecutors t. say that such was
| the custom, to which every cadet
at the institution was subject: it
only goes to the discredit Of the
management that could allow dis
courtesy, not to say oppression,
to become entrenched behind the
bulwark OF established custom.
mat young man with self-res-
pect and entertaining high ideals
OF the profession upon which he
was entering, should revolt against
the system which existed does not
surprise anyone. The surprise
seems to be from the infrequency
of such revolts. He was persist
emily annoyed, his resentment
giving cause to the upper class
men for administering more lig-
oronsly the code, which from their
standpoint was statutory dis
cipline for Meriwether's insubord-
ination. Goaded by frequent in
oignities, young Meriwether de-
termined to fight. He chose one
Of the most active of his tormen-
tors and gave the word that he
knew would lead to meeting.
! he meeting came according to
the well regulated formula and
Meriwcther fought not only his
brother cadet, but in some degree
he "system,' against which he
lad rebelled The unfortunate

seems, was young man ofpromise,

Comiskey-Johnson ROW.

league has a Dreyfuss-Brush row of
its own in the severing of diplomatic
relations between President johnson
and Owner Comiskey of the White
Sox. A breach between Johnson and
Comiskey was caused by the suspen-
sion of Holmes on short notice. Once
before this state of affairs existed and
the "OId Roman" who is considered
the leader of the magnates of the
league, threatened to "lose" Ban. The
trouble at that time was smoothed
over and for three years all has been
peaceful between the two. Comisl1ey
claims that he was not given notice
enough so that he could arrange for
an outhelder to help out with the
game and that Johnson purposely act
ed as he did to handicap him.

WARM WEATHER HELPS
Get Rid of Your Catarrh by Using
HyOmei Now.

Everyone who has catarrh should
take advantage of the warm weather
to get rid of this annoying and dis
tressing disease. The right treatment,
faithfully followed, in May or June.
will benefit much more quickly than
in the Winter and early Spring.
Do not try to cure catarrh of the
head and throat by taking drugs into
the stomach. It cannot be cured in
that manner. The only way in which
this too common disease can be cured
is through direct application of
Hyomei that will kill the germs of ca
tarrh and prevent their growth.
The first days use of Hyomei will
show a decided improvement, and in
a short time, especially if used at this
season of the year, there will be nc
