On Wednesday, March Is, Ex-PreSi-
dent Grover Cleveland celebrated his
list birthday at his home in Prince
ton, N. j. While the venerable Ex-
President is not in harmony with the
political conditions of the times and
is not suited to deal with national af-
fairs at the present time, he will go
down in history as n of the greatest
men that ever occupied the presidency.
Happily for him he has lived to see
the prejudiceS engenderec because Of
certain public policies Of his die
away and the nation as a whole now
views him as a great old man. He has
done much for his country and his
independence of of official action and
his forgetfulnesS of self preferment
and promotion, made possible the
wholesome politicalli life Of today as
eXpounded by Bryan and proclaimed
by Roosevelt. Cleveland, like all
other men, made his mistakes, but
he served his country wisely and well
and we are glad to see the nation as a
whole do the old mar honor.

Had those legislators. who have
been halting about voting to enact a
law TO prevent the working of little
children i'm factories, road the poem,
''The Death of a Factory Girl"
which appears elsewhere in The Sen
tinel this week, their best natures
would have been so aroused that
they would have considered the mat
ter from a point Of humanity alone
and voted for the proposition at once.
If it were not a matter of dollars and
cents for factory owners to work
children, why is it that they lobby
against such a law?.

Where Would the Figures Hav e
Gone?

The present legislative session has
been an eye opener in some respects.
Those seeking large appropriations
for the state colleges have learned
there is a very decided disposition TO
scale the demands made in behalf of
these institutions. 1t appears at
this writing that the appropriations
for higher education by this legisla-
ture will be, in round figures, approx
mately 5000, 900. Too much. Entirely
too much. The state cannot much
longer afford it and it is not just and
right. Think of it, SI.S5 for every
public school pupil and nearly 5000 a
piece for every student enrolled in the
colleges supported by the state. This
paper is not just now raising its
voice against this immense outlay Of
money. We have done so many times
before and these institutions just us
well realize now that the fight is IN
~ Just begun. Let it be remembered
that in addition to the money apprO-
priated by the state, there are numer-
Gus demands made upon the purse Of
every student that enrOllS at one CT
these institutions.
There are some that would have
the public believe t1at but for these
schools, the youth Of Mississippi
would be denied the great boon Of
higher education. 1t must not be
forgotten that we have Clinton Col
lege and MillSapS College for boys, be
sides Blue Mountain College and
Grenada College and several others for
girls. At none of these does the cost
per student get anywhere in the
n%eighborhoOd of what it does at IA
imilar school supported by the state
1t may be argued that the curriculum
shigher at the state colleges, but this
is Il claim denied by a great many
But be that as it. may, it is not the
proper thing 70 draw so heavily on the
pockets of the tax payers to furnish a
cOllegite education to a few. 1t is
indeed an expensive luxury and we
submit that the investment does not
viold q fair dividend
The gang, which hangs around
Jackson and that are apparently al
lied together throughout the state,
are always ready to loot the public
treasury and have not aided the cause
for which they manifest so much in
terest by their talk of the low
pressure crowd and "populism'.
The people are waking up and are
going to be more and more inclined
to apply the test to ascertain the
fruits of the expenditure OF money.
AS we understand, the trustees OF the
University only the other day decided
to take over a hospital in Vicksburg
to be used as a medical college-a sort
of annex to the same department of
the University. . This, in u judg-
~snt. Vas unwise, and Of courseit only
nlarQesb he crowds that are to button
hole legislators for big appropriations.
With all the strenuous efforts made
by the appropriations committee of
the present house Of representa- yes
to hold down appropriations, the ap-
uropriations for the state colleges and
the University will very considerably
exceed what it did two years ago.

Ban on "Hurry-Up" WAGONS.

Eight miles an hour is the limit in
Washington for fire engines, patrol
wagons and ambulances.
No matter what the emergency
fire, riot or street car crash-the
hurry wagons of the city will hurry
no more. Corporation Counsel Thorn.
as has decided that they are subject
to the laws governing the speed of all
other vehicles.
Recently several persons have been
hurt by the galloping horses of pa.
troll wagons. Citizens complained to
the commissioners who suggested to
Major Sylvester, chief of police, that
more care be exercised. The major
replied that a patrol wagon, fire en-
gine or ambulance is not called unless
it is needed badly and that when it is
needed it ought to get to its destina-
ton in the quickest possible time.
Besides, he did not believe that the
law makers had city vehicles in mind
when they made the speed laws. But
the corporation counsel overruled him.
1t is understood that the Anti-Noise
society, encouraged by this ruling, will
ask that the changing gongs be re-
moved from the wagons and engines
on the grounds that they disturb the
peace of the citizens and that they
are not needed on slow moving ve-
hicles.

LAwLEssNEss IN WASHINGTON.
caustic Comments of Neighbor on
Conditions in the Capital.

Washington, in its public structures
and private residences, it's hotels and
business buildings, its parks and boule-
wards, is becoming not only the most
beautiful city in America, but one of
the finest of the worlds capitals, says
the Baltimore Sun. All Americans are
proud of its growth and its magnifi-
cence.
Therefore it comes to them as a
shock when they learn that women
are not safe on its broad avenues and
that purse snatching and robbery are
the most common of crimes.
During the last two years the records
show an almost unbelievable number
of attacks upon women. These range
from assaults and attempted murders
in the suburbs to brutal attacks and
robberies in the very heart of the
most fashionable residence section
Most of these offenses are committed
by negroes and they seem to think
that they have a license to commit
any crime. The daughter of an army
officer was attacked and robbed by
negroes almost at the door of the
number of crimes of which they are
the victims, in no city in America are
women so poorly protected as they
are in the nations capital.
What paralyzes the arm of the law? &?
Why is 1t that negro hoodlums are al
lowed to run riot, terrorze certain
sections and even attack the police !?
Why Is 1t unsafe for women to go out
on the streets or roads after dark in
the District of Columbia? Is it be-
cause the arm of the law is weakened
by an inefficient police force and
sometimes by absurdly inadequate
punishment when criminals are ar
raigned in the courts?
Most of the crimes are committed
by negroes, according to the ac-
counts, and the criminal negro element
acts as If it could defy the police and
as II 1t need have little fear of severe
punishment. The attack of a large
crowd of negroes on Policeman w. J..
Field when he went to arrest a
negress is only one of a number of
such attacks. If the laws were rigidly
enforced and disorder suppressed with
a firm hand such contempt of the po-
lice would be impossible
The district commissioners and the
police could undoubtedly prevent
Washington from becoming the unhap-
py hunting ground of thugs and
thieves if they acted with sufficient
firmness and energy. What is the
matter with the representatives of the
lfF-t., ,sot
meet the conditions by which they are
confronted and keep in check the law
less elements which are disgracing
the capital of the country men should
be put in their places who can.

Dress certainly is one of the human ele-

acute Rafener did not exaggerate when he
wrote: 'The clothes make the man." an
idea for the rest which we find expressed in
the proverbs of many and various nations

nor OF the various materials with which
man covers himself, but of the part which
dress takes in expression when the move

God is pleased to use man as an instru-
ment, and by the spur of his own ability
and responsibility to incite him to activity.
A cavalryman on the battlefield is fully
aware how much he depends upon the good
services of his horse, and also that the ami
NAL can not run unless God enabled it.
Being godly man, he prays before mount
ing that the Lord will enable his horse to
bring him victory; but after he is mounted,
with spur and knee, rein and voice, he
uses all his strength to make the horse do
what it should do. And the same is true
of sanctification. Unless the breath of the
