The new regulations. just enforced, for gov
erning the admission Of candidates to the United
States Military Academy at West Point VIII
bring disappointment TO some candidates and
an increase of satisfaction TO others. Under the
old rules a boy 63 inches in height could enter.
Now. if n boy is seventeen years old, he must
be at least ca inches tall. and If he IS between
eighteen and twenty-five years old he must be
65 inches tailor 3 feet inches Applicants
are now being examined, and that the new tests
will result in the selection of a body Of cadets
superior physically TO any corps that has pre-
ceded it is confidently expected.
Perhaps the most interesting and amusing
sight TO be seen at West Point is the reporting

plebe class New cadets" they are officially
designated as soon as they have made their ini-
tal report TO the adjutant but, while their
ness is apparent TO the most casual observer, it
is some time before they begin to look anything
like cadets.
They come from every walk OF life. from every
part Of the United States, and sometimes by spe-
cial act of Congress from foreign countries.
Their appearance as they are collected in groups
preparatory TO being hustled off-they have not
yet learned to march-to the cadet store for their
first uniforms is worthy of careful study. Their
wearing apparel exhibits a wide variety of cut
and style and texture: their bearing and address
reveal a culture which may be that Of the
ploughboy or that Of the finest product of the
modern drawing room: their learning varies
from mere entrance requirements TO a college or
university education: their physiques. at one ex-
treme. disclose the hard handed laborer or the
stoop shouldered student and at the other the
trained college athlete. while in every case their

THE FIRST STEP.

AS soon as the new arrivals have changed
from their cts to their first suits Of cadet
gray, the important problem is to implant in
them as rapidly possible the fundamentals
Of military training. and to develop them IN
the execution Of the manual of arms and the
minor movements of the drill regulations that
they can be placed in the cadet battalion with
out danger of disgracing that select body. To
accomplish this they are temporarily housed in
cadet barracks, recently vacated by the older
cadets, who have moved into their summer en-
campment and placed under the instruc-
ton of an experienced officer, assisted by
number of cadets Of the first class, specially
selected drill masters on account of their
military efficiency and exemplary conduct IT
thus happens that attention is first given to
their physical training, the development Of
strong and healthy bodies as homes for strong
and active minds

know how to walk: before he can stand easily

STUDY NOW BEGINS.

AS has been indicated the "plebe'' enters in
June, and from this time to September l his
training is wholly physical and military. From
the total absence of books and study during the
period spent In camp il would not be strange
II he came to the conclusion that the student
side OF West Point life was not particularly
strong. The same opinion might be formed
by the casual summer visitor, and that it IS so
is indicated by the question often asked at this
season. When do they study?"
The study period begins with the return To
barracks at the end OF August, and from then on
until all examinations completed in the fol-
lowing June il is safe 10 assert that the ayeras,
time spent In study by the cadets each day is far
In excess OF that spent by the students of any
civil institution in the country. As a general
rule the course Is exactly the same for all the
only exception being that a few men AT the top
OF the class are sometimes required TO do more
extended work along certain lines than is re-
quired Of the others
The amount Of work prescribed for the course
may be seid to depend upon the average ability
or the average class For this reason il is gem
orally n struggle for the lowest members of anv
class TO reach the standard which determines
proficiency. For the higher members-those who
attain the required standard without excessive

found in the fact that their class standing at
west Point determines their commissioned
standing In the army. Competition for place is
therefore, always keen An occasional cadet
who has ability but not ambition and who is too
lnaoent FOR hard study is merely the exception
which proves the rule
Another thing which at West Point conduccs
TO hard work and ambition for high houors Is
the fact that most of the appointments are now
made as result of competitive examinations
and that the men who succeed in getting them
have usually led their classes at home. To some
extent at least. they have been marked men
their ability and success have been commented
on by the local press, and quite naturally they

REA CrToN TN HnNGARr.

Don't emigrate from the United States to Hungary. This country is a better place to live in. The other day the Hungarian Chamber passed al- most without opposition, bill on the relations between landowners or farm CTS and agricultural laborers which was one of the most reactionary pieces of legislation of modern times. The bill then went before the House of Magnates, who decided to make 1t more reactionary still The right conferred upon agricultural employers to indict corporal chastisement upon laborers under eighteen years of age they ex- tended to the families os laborers in so far as they are minors. IA clause providing that vlctuals distributed to laborers must be of "flrst-class mar ket quality" was altered to leverage market quality" Well may the Pester Lloyd exclaim: That the Hungarian legislature in the twentieth century should undertake the enactment of pro. visions so fiagrantly at variance with human dignity and legal equality, ln- stead of eliminating completely from our statute book the right of corporal punishment-that brutal expression of the power of the stronger--is deeply deplorable and shameful sign of retro gression in social and liberal views"
 Other provisions of the bill sanction the infiiction of fines of 500 kroner ($125) and thirty days Imprisonment fol a number of venial offences, such, fol instance, as selling Or giving away an. part of the allowance of fuel received by the laborer from hls employer; ol failing to do on Sundays work consld cred urgent by the employer; or leav, ing the farm without permission. Al these punishments may be suspended as long as laborers remain in the ser. vice of their employers, but are en forced the moment they make nov, for freedom.

nation. After all the question may fair ly be considered: As long as men have differing opinions on religion as on oth- CT subjects, which gives assurance of the greater permanency. the Carnegie foundation or a denominational founda- tion?. Which will last longer, the Unit ed Steel bonds or the faith, labor and sacrifice of religious conviction? None of the larger colleges founded by some denominations in the early days can be said to be sectarian as teachers of any special groups of religious dogmas, but all are fairly abreast of the progress
 sive thought of the time. It is there fore difficult to understand why denom- national control has become so offen- sive. It may be found that deference to an ex parte opinion will be more unwise than dependence on the loyalty of those who have always fostered an institution as their special care.

AN onn.rAsnroNrp NorroY.

The failure of New York city to sell per cent stock and bonds last week was pretty complete. The offer was of 1 per cent. corporate coupon stock, pay~ able in fifty years, to the amount of $27 100000. and 4 per cent. assessment bonds, payable in ten years, to the amount of s2,OOO,ooO Less than $2Oo,0Oo worth of the latter bonds and less than S2,O0o,O 900 worth of the corporate stock were taken. The highest bid was s1O15O and that was for only $3oo For $11,OOO of stock 1O1 was bid. The average of so much as was sold was at terms of 10O.091.
 This was quite shock to New York s pride, and also to some other pride. The "experts' seem to believe that the failure is not due to an impairment of the credit of the city. Controller Metz himself believes that it Is due to the fact that the bond market is glutted with obligations of the city. But what ever 1t is due to, 1t ought to cause some thoughtfulness. Awhile ago bonds were so salable that the green cheese of the moon could have been bonded and the bonds sold. Bonds as well se- cured as those would have been were sold. Now good bonds go hard, or not at all Perhaps if the borrowing idea were not quite so popular It would be just as well for all concerned. Of course many things look desirable, but it has often been found wise to not look at things which look desirable until they can be afforded. A proper application ot that old-fashioned notion would soon right the bond market and some other things that need fighting.

4 NEEDED WANT.

One of the State senators wants to go to Europe. He was going this week Now he doesn't think he can go until after the 17th of July, when he thinks the legislature will adjourn.
 So much for so much. Of course this senator wont put any obstacle in the way of adjournment. Are there not others in both the Senate and House who want to go somewhere? If they don't want to go anywhere else don't they want to go home? We hope that soon a test vote will be talk en and it will be found that there are enough members of the legislature who want to go somewhere to make ad- journment possible. The earnest de- sire of the people to have them go somewhere doesn't seem to move them. There must evidently be a movement from within.

FLY THE OINTMENT.

Well, we can't have everything to please us, and so Harvard was vic torious on the ball field in New York city Saturday. There is a crumb of comfort in the remembrance that she wasn't as victorious as Yale was at the Yale field last Tuesday, but of course crumb of comfort isn't enough when the whole loaf has been in sight.
 But never mind. There is another year coming, with more chances to win. Arrangements to win have already been begun by Yale, and will be carried out to the letter unless the objections raised by Harvard are too many and too much.
