HAZING At ANNAPOLIS.

If any one thinks that the abomnable nrac
tioe Of hazng has been abolished at the Naval
Academy let him disabuse himself of that no
ton During the recen, past a number of mid
shipmen have been punished for this very thing
and one of yesterdays Baltimore papers gives
an account of the most I<rilous performance Of
the kind We have ever noted.
An upper classman. desiring TO furnish
amusement for couple OF silly girl friends
got hold OF a pleb and put him through all
sorts of ridiculous PAGES that the young ladies
might enjoy visit to the celebrated institu-
ton.
TOO much contempt cannot be expressed for
these cowardly DULLES or their giggling girl
companions Every consideration Of manhood
and womanhood, every instinct OF refinement
and decencv would have deferred the men from
humiating this unoffending pleb and have pre-,
vented the women from becoming witnesses to
the humiliation If such practices as these
furnish amusement for our future naval officers
in times Of peace it is but reasonable to sup
pose that they are made Of stuff that would
turn them into fends when aroused by the pas
sions of war fiends capable OF inhictng the
atrocous tortures of medieval times upon
their helpless captves
The whole institution OF hazing is abomina-
bic, cowardlya and injurious to the finer senti-
ments of manhood. To take advantage of a
man, whom circumstances have rendered IN
able to defend himself and whom superior num-
bers and strength have placed in ones power,
is the limit of cowardice To find amusement
in the discontinue or humiliation of another
Ia the evidence of a coarse and brutal spirit.
The whole thing is puerile and contemplate
in the eyes Of true men that no recourse should
be neglected to put end TO the ahominanle
practice.
This system has begotten spirit among
some army and naval officers that has been
frequently the occasion of comment among
those thrown into contact with them. At least,
il seems connected with the supercilous and
condescending attitude of some who have beer
educated in the belief, after year or so at the
academies they became a superior species OF
individuals.

WHAT Is FAME.

About year ago DR.. Frederick A Cook
was applauded in Copenhagen by the populaee
as the dscoverer of the North Pole. Scien-
tiec societies crowned him with honors and
ROYALTY gave him recognition. Day before yes
terday he returned to the scene OF his first
triumph after a year of public suspicion anu
opprobrum dseredited man. hoping to fnG
his first friends faithful. that he might lay be-
fore them reputed proofs that he had really
reached the pole Instead of hospitabe re-
cention and a willingness to receive his eyi-
dence he found the masses arrayed against
him He was hooted and jeered, and so threat
ening did the crowds become that the police
were called to preserve. order and protect him
from possible harm.
We do not know whether DR.. Cook reached
the pole or not. The demonstration of the fact
would require scientific proofs with which we
are not familiar. 1t is question purely tech
ncal and can only be decided by scientists For
that reason we were content to accept the YER
dict of the majority OF the scientific world that
he did not achieve the triumph towards which
he had bent his energies.
At the same time his attitude up to the
moment of his mysterious disappearance
would suggest that he believed himself to be
the dscoverer and that he reappears and
reafirms the fact and desires to submit his
proof, we think a square deal demands that he
be given the opportunity.
The action Of the Copenhagen crowd is
characteristic of the mob Hastily jumping 20
conclusions they acclaim man a hero; later
in the sweep Of passion and prejudice they are
as eager to denounce him as scoundrel I'm
pusive. rather than intelligent, the mob is al
ways ready to do things to the man it
thinks has faxed them.
We have always had the opinion that Cook
might have reached the pole after all Who
knows but that he did? At any rate. ii is but
fair that We give him the chance TO submit his
evidence.
