STUDENTS An THEIR NDULGEycEs.

Syracuse University expelled a bulldog last
year, not deeming the animal useful educa-
tional adjunct, and this year, through its chan
cellOr. ii reads lecture TO the students against
pOolrooms, saloons, theatres AMI tobacco which
some Of them must hearken 10 with considerable
dismay. They are informed that these practices
will be held TO extinguish the privilege of free
tuition, and that those who permit themselves
such indulgences must pay up and expect no
concessions from the faculty. A young man,
the chancellor remarks. who smokes is a fool
at least in that particular, and he ought to take
better care of his nerves and present a cleaner
aspect TO society.
This is almost as severe as King James's coun-
terblast against tobacco. or any of the literary
arrangements Of that tremendous leaf. But they
have all fallen quite fat and the consumption
OF the article has gone on without pause or sur
cease since It was adopted into the uses OF the
civilized races. II is open 10 argument whether
tobacco in the universally Of its adoption and
the permanence of its dominion over it's vOtaries
is not the principal fact connected with Column
buss world creating discovery. That was only
an historic incident. one in the endless procession
OF such TO fade into dim legend some time its
record writ in cloud like the tale Of JasOn's
journey but the introduction OF tobacco among
mankind was destined to be braided intimately
into Its concerns TO ali after time; a thread of
magic and mystery I'm the universal fabric of
humanity. The illumination from Syracuse Uni
verslty against il is not likely TO diminish its
use in any perceptible degree. Even the students
who want free tuition and cover under pro-
fessOrial denunciations of the weed WILL we fear
only ostensibly quit unless they are different
from other students, but without Haunting it,
Will keep up the practice in ways well known to
the adept, though invisible to the authority
which would put an introductory foot on it. The
chancellor publishes himself as so hardened an
anti-tobaccoite that he may be expected to keep
mp his crusade unrelentingly. but the weed is
likely 10 win in the long run. as it has invariably
done throughout its history

HONEY AND BUSINESS.

Daily fluctuations in the average of the sixty
most active railway stocks have fallen to in
significant fractions. yet the volume OF business
continues very heavy. This can be explained
satisfactorily only by the fact that the strong

opium controversy in China and between China
and Great Britain. We mentioned the other day
the possibility that an arrangement would be
effected under which, in the course OF ten years.
the popular traffic in and use Of that drug, both
domestic and imported. would cease. The edict
which has Just been issued indicates that such
course will be pursued. Similar professions
have been made before. but there is progress In

decade hence which Will be greatly for the ma

A FAIR POSSESSION.
The Beautiful Islands Of Porto Rco Their Climate Productions
and People,


Porto Rico-the Gem of the Antilles.
a land OF everlasting Spring-and a
land where we Americans have done
much injustice, principally through our
ignorance of what the people really
want and need-for Uncle Sam is a just
taskmaster.
There are few of our people who
know that Porto Rico comprises three
more important islands-Porto Rico
proper; Vieques, an island with at least
5000 inhabitants, approximately 81
miles long and six miles wide, lying
due east of Porto Rico; and Culebra,
northeast of Vieques. a small and
mountainous island, but with n mag
nificent harbor, protected from all
stress of weather, which could accom-
modate the entire navies of the United
States and England. This island is now
a naval station of the United States, so
made on account Of its natural advan-
tages.
Porto Rico resembles Florida in its
climate, with the notable exception that
1t is never so hot in Summer, nor SO
cold in Winter. The coolest season is
in January and February. when the ay-
erage temperature is Sc degrees, and
the average is u. The zero days of
Washington and the 105 degrees in the
shade of New York and Chicago are
unknown to the island. The rainy sea-
son begins in August and lasts until
December, but is not so terrible as
many people imagine. 1t does not rain
necessarily, but there are frequent
heavy showers, after which the sky
clears up with surprising rapidity. AS
the island is one mass of hills, and even

Monument to Can't. Wlrx.

Mcpherson Post, Of Charlottesville,
Ind, has unanimously adopted resolu-
tons regretting the over-indulgence
shown toward treason; that Gen. Fred
u. Grants proposition to make holi-
day of the Lee birthday anniversary
is to be condemned, and that the propo-
sitiOn to erect q monument to Capt.
WirZ Is an insult to every American
soldier and a taunt to every survivor
of Andersonyille.
T. c. George, 7th Kan. Cav, Rocker
Vile, S. d., was in Andersonville, and
he cannot understand who can be SO
depraved as to falsify the testimony
Of living witnesses to propose erecting
a monument to Capt. Wirz. He was a
fitting companion Of the hounds that
he unleashed every morning to hunt
escaping prisoners.
Rev. Joseph 0. Elwell, Alton, Iowa,
says no, a thousand times no, there
should be no monument to the brutal
tyrant WirZ to pollute the sacred dust
Of our martyred heroes of Anderson
vile.
Henry A. Buttner, Sergeant, 9Th Bat
talon d. c., Veterans Home, Napa
County, Cal, thinks that the men who
advocate a monument to the monster
WirZ have no sense Of JUSTICE or hui
mainly. They cannot be too severely
denounced
