HAZlNG AT ANNAPOLIS

In spite of the tragedy at the
United States Naval Academy a
few weeks ago when one cadet died
as the result of fight with another,
the practices that led to this result
have been continued. Last week
another cadet became unconscious
by being compelled to stand on his
head for ten minutes. The com
mandant of the Academy has re-
commended to the Secretary of the
Navy the expulsion of one cadet
who was engaged in the hazing,
and of an other who was on duty
and did not report it.
1t is only by such vigorous meas
ures that the practice can be brok
en- up. And it can be stopped just
as soon as the authorities stop wink
ing at it, and show that they are in
earnest. The cadets call the treat
ment meted out to the youngest
classmen discipline" 1t is in
fact nothing but brutal cowardice.
No third classman at the Aca-
deny, and no sophomore in college
would dare to attempt to heap upon
other young men the indignities
practiced at SO many institutions of
learning, under any other circum-
stances. Knowing that if their
victim resists, or if he reports to the
authorities what he has had to suf
fer, he will be marked man and
will be driven out by the treatment
he is sure to receive, they presume
upon this fact, and dare to do what
they would be soundly thrashed for
if they tried it anywhere else. In
stead of exercising a manly author
ity over their subordipates they
simply act like cowardly brutes. 1t
is time for the government to take
hand. and put stop to this sort
of thing.
A resolution providing for a
thorough investigation of the situa-
ton and conditions at the naval
academy has been introduced in
Congress by Representative Loud,
of Michigan. The investigation is
to be made by the House naval
committee, which is especially in
structed to ascertain and report
whether violations of the law and
the regulations governing the acad'
en,y continue and whether hazing,
running and class fist fighting con-
tinue in practice there and the
knowledge of and responsibility of
the officers of the academy for any
conditions found to exist"

IRONDALE COMPANY GOT CONTRACT

At the opening of the bids for
lighting the town, at the council
meeting last Thursday night, the
bid of the 1rondale Electric Light
Company were $500 month arc
lights, and $Ioo a month for 80
candle power incandescents. That
of the American Electric Light
Company was S6,25 a month for
arcs, and 81 40 for incandescents.
1t was expected that after opening
the bids there would be an open
auction, the contract to be given to
the lowest bidder, but manager
Duy declined to bid, stating that
the bid of the Irondale Company
was less than the light could be
made for.
Councilman Runyon figured that
the new contract would save the
town $2,324 year, or $II $40 in
five years. The old contract was
$6.6 for arcs, and 1850 for incan-
descents.

Judge Staples has made an order
that all bar-rooms must close at

port which has been circulated to
the effect that money has been paid
by license applicants to outside
parties for influence" in obtain
ing their licenses. He stated that
if any such instances are brought
to the attention of the court the
matter would be thoroughly investi-
gated.
The order concerning bars in as

In the Court Of Quarter Sess-
ions of the Peace in and for the

''It is hereby ordered and di-

THIRTY YEARS A PRINTER

On December goth, 1875 a young
man of about seventeen years en-
tered the COLUMBIAN Office as an
apprentice to learn the printer S
trade. The Office was then where
the Sentinel now is, and the pro.
prietors of the paper were Brock.
way and Elwell By strict and
careful attention to business the
young man soon became very pro.
ficient and in 1881 was made fore
man OF the Office, position which
he has held continuously up to this
time.
The record Of George c. Roam
TOR capabiIity as a master OF his
trade and for constant fidelity to
his business is one of much more
than usual occurrence. Yesterday
he completed thirty years in the
same office under the same employ
er, and during all that time he has
lost but very few days and then
only for illness. For twenty-four
years he has been foreman, and
general assistant. During all these
years the relations have been of the
pleasantest, and there has scarcely
a harsh word passed between the
editor and his foreman. One is very
fortunate in having such man S
services, and especially so as such
men are very scarce articles nova
days. A combination Of skilled
workmanship, fidelity to employer,
and personal character is desirable
and MIR. Roam poss.
esses them all in high degree.
1t gives us pleasure to thus public
ly express our appreciation of one
who mas been co stantly associa ted
with us for the past thirty years.
