THE WEST POINT "SILENCEv Hard Punish Students Who Simply
 Refuse to Talk

From the Boston Evening Transcript,
 The "silence' treatment which the cadets at West Point and the midship- men at Annapolis accord to officers who have rendered themselves obnoxious is peculiarly aggravating to its object. It consists in maintaining silence in the dining hall during the presence of said officer. The buzz of conversation ceases No monastery refectory can be more silent Everybody knows what the silence means. It is the silence of dissent from the equity of the officers conduct At the same time the latter cannot very well file charges and specifications against a battalion because its members can tal,, and will not talk
 How to deal with the silence" is a difficult question for disciplinarians. The superintendent at the naval academy has issued formal order, in which he promises to investigate the next recur- renee of silence with the object of punishing its proponents Of course 1t Is public duty to uphold the hands af authority, but the situation will recall Tailyrand's mot. when as grand chamber lain he was ordered by Napoleon to in- struct the ladies of the court to be gay there having been bloody battle, de- pressing to their spirits. Ladies" said Tallyrand, 'hsi majesty orders you to he gay. Ladies, this Is no laughing mat ter"

A Boys Preference

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Little Roger Mcbride stood by the highway that led down to Chardon and waited for the big threshing machine to go by. The big thresher rumbled A good deal and was heavy and unwieldy. and If you got chance to ride you had to hold on tight
 And while Roger was waiting there in the yellow highway a fine automo- bile came by and slowed down, and the voice Of the richest man in tho world hailed him.
 Don't you want ride and a handful of candy, little man?" said tho voice.
 Roger had seen the richest man and knew who he was, and he shyly smiled at the greeting.
 If you please, sir" he answered. 'I'd rather ride on the thresher."
 So the richest man laughed and whirled away and the boy waited by the roadside. is l,t 4

How We Pay Our Bills .om Eyerybody's Magazine.

BTOm EYeIy DoOy Md6dAiuc
 It takes billions to run a nation These billions are raised by taxation. To have some one else .pay ones taxes Is the greatest of all law made privileges. When to this is added the right of us- ing. the taxing power to kill competition, and to fill ones own pockets the privi- lege Is colossal It Is too terrible to last. Almost all the insurgent movements of history have been protest against the privilege of unjust taxation. In the United States the burden of the tariff and the excise taxes falls almost wholly on the common people. Practically ev- cry cent of the 50,0oo.000 now collected Is paid by us. It is collected from the things we eat, drink. wear, and use in our homes. It is collected by being added to the cost of everything we use. No other civilized nation dares to. go as far as our law makers and their masters have gone in shifting the cost of 'national government from their own shoulders on to those of the people. Germany does not and Germany is pretty nearly ain absolutism. Great Britain does not, and Inc ruling class there is i3rgeiy composed of an aristocracy of plantation owners

NeUs of Ensley

The recent reports of the Ensley schools were very gratifying to the patrons of the schools as well as to the faculty. The schools are somewhat crowded, especially the Fairview school but notwithstanding this handicap the schools are making most excellent progress. The school build ings of Ensley are the pride of the town, especially the new High school building or. Avenue J. It is a splendid structure, complete in It's appointments and well adapted in its design.
 The manual training and other depart ments are being fully equipped with the latest appliances, and when fully equipped will be the equal of any school in the state.

will be adhered to by the New Orleans banks. no matter what happens" said Col J. s. Wellmer Of Crescent City.
 Mobile banks have agreed to guaran- tee bills Of lading on cotton shipped to Liverpool from that city. Some cotton spectators are claiming that this will give Mobile an advantage over New Or leans in the English cotton trade but thot doesn't scare the New Orleans bank CTS bit. If the Mobile banks want to do that kind of business and have the money for it. let them go ahead. It will not hurt the New Orleans cotton bus mess any. New Orleans banks always have handled the Liverpool bills of lad ing a matter of accommodation, any how. and the expense has been more than the small fees realized from their foreign exchange department. One of the larg- est banks in New Orleans has operated its foreign exchange department at a loss for many years, and only continues that part of its business for the accom- modation of it's patrons.
 "A large private bank in my city, how ever, has been considering the matter of guaranteeing bills of lading, and if 1t does it is welcome to that business so far as the national and state banks of Now Orleans are concerned. The Liver pool houses, so far as cotton shipped from New Orleans is concerned, will have to take chances in the business as they always have done. After all, their re- cent loss Is the first since the civil war, and is pot likely to happen again if they use proper precautions in dealing with their American correspondents and cus- I toner's
 ! The people of Louisiana are very confident that Congress will recognize the fitness of New Orleans as the ideal place for the exposition of any size.
 We have the best hotel accommoda- tions of any city in the country of
 exposition caliber. and the cooking of our southern chefs Is famous all over the country. If Congress will take this case up and decide 1t upon its merits, as we believe 1t will, there can be no doubt that New Orleans will win the prize"
 l New York is revelling in politics these days and the political situation is one of the most peculiar l recall Politicians of all parties recognize that the state election in New York this year is perhaps the most important in its bearing national politics that have been held since the days of Cleve- land.

It all de- bends on whether you are talking to a democrat or republican.

Swift Runners

The historic fame of the Indians as swift runners has been fully borne out by the performance of the present day. Long, boat, Acoose and Red Hawk of this gen. eration and Deerfoot of the last have time after time run on and on until their white opponents dropped panting and breathless by the wayside.
 It is true that in the last Vanderbilt cur race De Hymel, the first Indian ever to enter such a contest, did not win. This. however, was no fault of the man, but rather that of the car So long as the car he was driving ran true no one in the great race displayed more courage or daring, more persistency or skill than did the little Aztec. l tc 4-.
 The modern Indian warrior upholds the honor of his tribe as did the warrior of earlier days, and while the Chippewa and the Iroquois, the Apache and the Ute no longer seek the scalp of the pale face in a literal sense, they seek 1t figuratively, and more than once they have hung it in the guise of a well-earned athletic trophy from the ridge pole of their tepee.

"A stream of 100000 emigrants pours into the state of Texas every year." said Ben K. Burroughs of Houston, Tex. Nearly 300 persons day come to the conclusion that they can make more money in Texas than elsewhere. The emgrant entering Texas and the emi- grant entering Ellis Island are not iden-
 tical. The fortune-seeker from across the sea has come from land barren of opportunity, and any part of the western continent Is promising to him. But the emgrant to Texas is generally an Amer ican who already knows prosperity. He has studied Texas, sold his farm in some state farther north, and goes where the
