New Orleans is making a vigorous kick against the shipping of all sup plies for the Panama Canal from New york. The kick is reasonable and just The Savannah News is quite right in saying: There isn't any good reason why New York should have e monopoly of the trade. Bat for some reason or other, the Government seems to be largely run on sectional lines, both politically and commercially. The North gets practically all of the Gov ernment business. under all conditions, and the South gets the tarred end of kh0 stick" -.-.-.-. ..------ --- .-

Some allowance mnst always be made for the heat of political cam paigning, but when The Oklahoma State Capital editorially asserts that there is no personal liberty in the south,' it shows great contempt for truth and fairness. Because the South ern States are Democratic, The Capital assumes that no man is allowed to vote any other ticket. Such an as- sumption may be based on ignorance. but we doubt 1t.

CHLCKENS TO BOOST.

Mr. Hearst has several times complained that
he cannot get fair hearing in the opposition
press He asserts that the New York news
papers have banded together in q conspiracy TO
misrepresent his purposes blacken his charac-
ter and belittle his achievements a states
man and a campaign orator. He has capi-
talized this grievance by starting an "Ananas
Cup contest, in which the alleged misrepre-
sentations by his enemies are catalogued with
due insistence on their enormity. He would
have us believe that his confidence in human
nature is shaken and his sense of justice is
outraged by intimations that he has fallen at
any time or in any respect below the highest
standards Of public virtue or patriotic con-
duct.
1t is painful to see desert fouted and good
ness mangned. Yet the innocent abused must
be really innocent if he expects to get COM
miseraton. and the man who asks for sym
patly must come into court with clean hands.
Virtue like charity should begin at home Mr..
Hearst in his speeches and in his newspaper
utterances has not habitually exhibited the
sublimest spirit of charity and brOtherly kind
ness. He has not scrupulousIy avoided hack
biting and vijficatlon. He has not always in
dulged in the soothing compliments which turn
away wrath. We are indebted to The Even
ing Telegram" for a collection of tributes paid
by Mr.. Hearst to contemporaries of greater or
less distinction in public life Here are some
of his Illuminating and kindly judgments:
PRESIDENT MKINLEY-"Incompe poll
troon-the most despised and hated creature
the hemisphere"
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT-"'A player to the
colored gallery
EX-PRESIDENT CLEVELAND-"Conv
Of predatory wealth.
SECRETARY ROOT-"A spotty corporation
attorney-Ryan's jackal."
SECRETARY BONAPARTE-"A cab horse"
ATTORNEY GENERAL KNOX-"Sleepy Phil
Coal Trust quilt for a pillow"
EX-JUDGE ALTON B. PARKER-"A cock
roach, a waterbug"
SENATOR JOSEPH W. BAILEY-"Most
faithful dog-catcher in the Senate"
JOSEPH H CHOATE-"Political agent for cor
poratfonS"
SPEAKER JOSEPH G. CANNON-"As cum
ming as a fox and as little scrupulous in
politics as fox is in a barnyard.
EX-MAYOR OSBORNE-"A sordd idiot"
There is no need to continue these excerpts
Here are eleven men conspicuous in public life
four Of them Democrats and seven Of them
Republicans-of whom Mr.. Hearst has spoken
not once, but repeatedly, in terms of bitter con-
tempt. But the list could be extended far
enough to cover a majority of all the active
leaders Of both parties now in politics. Mr.
Hearsts hand has been raised TO blacken the
fairest regulations and to besmirch the most
honored names. He has waged a veritable cam
paign Of defamation against all who have
crossed his purposes or blocked his path He
has never given quarter, yet he now asks for
IT. He pleads for justice when-were his com
plants Of being himself DETAINED well founded
he would only be reaping his own harvest
of injustice He would make better impres
sion by initiating the stoicism of the Indian
and taking his torture without word.

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

The efforts of the German Emperor to Danish the
Fremd-wort," while they may have made changes
in the official vocabulary. have cured some of
the German newspapers from using many English
words for which they probably have none equally
expressive in the German language. One Berlin
paper of recent date. under the head of Sports"
contains the words handicap" ticket" start"
finish and lin front" Under tha head of
Strikes it speaks Of ''scabs" and meetings"
and in another part of the paper speaks OF a poll

SOME HEARST AFFIDAVITS.

Il Every day brings q revelation Of the sham
and insincerity Of Mr.. Hearsts pretences of
superior virtue as a citizen and of unselfsh
devotion 20 the rights Of the people. Mr.
Hughes long ago exposed this critic of cor
porations as lodging his moral responsibilities
by means Of his New Jersey holding company.
It has been shown that he habitually evaded
service Of legal papers. so that one of his pres
ent candidates for the Supreme Court, Mr..

action citizen Of the State ofFNew York and
"a resident within the Southern District of
New York" Therefore that suit was dis
missed When sued a resident in the state
court he was ia nonresident, but when sued
as a nonresident in the federal court he was
a resident /And he presumes to talk about
predatory wealth and tricks Of the law! More
over, in less than a year, on April b, 1879, he

years and a half" he had been resident OF
New York. and not of California. Yet WITHIN
two years and two months before he had mace
affidavit IN The Associated Press case that he
was not resident of New York, but Of Cali
fornia.
We wish to be entirely just to Mr.. Hearst.
We realize that men in measuring period OF
time may speak loosely so we shall not charge
him with perjury. But we have not the least
doubt that he would so charge any opponent
of his who at one moment swore that he had
been a resident since certain date sixteen
months anterior to a time when he had sworn
he was not a resident. Sixteen months is q
large margin for unintentional error in sworn
testimony about events only three or four years
back. But put aside the question OF per-
jury The point is that Mr.. Hearst was prac-
tically fugitive from justice shifting his resi-
dence to avoid legal responsibility and swear
ing to his place of domicile from time to time
as suited the changing eXigencies of his lit
cations. His affidavits are simply Of piece
with his consistent record of shams.

TRUE COLLEGE ATHLETICS.

An additional step toward the reformation
of college sports has been taken by the Council
of New York University, following the exam
pie Of Harvard and some other institutions, In
its resolution restricting participation In inter
collegiate athletic games and contests 10 bona
fde undergraduate students in the University
College and in the School Of Applied Science,
and barring out from such participation all spe-
cial students and members Of the various pro-
fessional and graduate schools. We are not
aware that New York University has been q
particularly great sinner in this matter. or that
the adoption of this rule will compel any
marked reorganization of its athletic activities.
But the rule is a desirable one for the cor
rection of whatever deviation there may have
been from the true principle of college ath-
letics and for prevention Of further transgres-
sionS.
We believe we do no injustice in saying that
a considerable part of the brutality which has
disfigl1red football, and of the professional
ism" and other improper practices which have
brought reproach upon college sports, Is due
to the playing of students from professional
or graduate schools in intercollegiate games
1t Is credibly reported that some institutions
have taken into some of their departments
for which college entrance examinations are
not required-brawny young men who were in
no true sense college men," and who had no
thought OIL tIle COURSES Ol Stuuy, IoT
the sole purpose of putting them into teams for
intercollegiate sports. That was the grossest
form of the abuse, but it is not the right thing
to put into such teams bona fde students in
non-collegiate departments and it would be
a good thing to rule out law, medical dental,
veterinary and other professional students from
all intercollegiate competitions.
This is not, of course, to deny such students
the privileges and advantages Of physical cult
ure. They may still make full use of the gym
nasium and athletic field, and they may COM
pete in all the contests within their own insti-
tuition. The effect OF the rule will simply be
to insure that intercollegiate contests shall be
participated in by none save true college stu
dents, to wit, undergraduates who are pursu-
ing regular courses for baccalaureate degrees
With that rule firmly and faithfully enforced,
college sports should be largely freed from the
worst reproach which has fallen upon them in
recent years.
