WE CANNOT BELIEVE 1T.

Young men who enter the United States Naval
Academy have been justly regarded as selected
stock young men, who by test, and fitness and
examination have won place in the institution
which gives to the country officers Of it's Navy.
High minded, Straightforward, courageous, clean
young men is the position given them in the pub
lie mind.
It was with a shock, with incredulity, that the
report was read yesterday that two midship-
men admitted on examination in the court OF
inquiry now being conducted at Annapolis that
under certain conditions they would use stolen
examination papers for their own advantage,
one t~estifying that he thought half his class
might be parties to receiving and using stolen
information. while the other disagreed as to
that number being willing to take advantage
of stolen papers.
We do not believe, we cannot believe, that
fifty per cent Of any class at the Naval Academy
could be guilty of such a breach of conduct.
The charges made concerning irregularities IN
the use of examination papers are bad enough
they would receive and use stolen information,
and that half a class would do so goes beyond
this. The young men at the Naval Academy
are types of young American manhood and we
do not believe that this estimate Of their moral
calibre is correct. It would be a matter Of the
deepest concern to the country if it were so and
it is hoped that there will come refutation of
the monstrous charge which is in itself the
gravest Of reflections upon young men who are
to wear the uniforms of our Navy and at sea
uphold the dignity, and honor and glory of the
United States flag.

INEVITABLE NOTORIETY.

That young men of Raleigh are hailed toA,ourt
to answer charges of being concerned in MAX
ing trouble in the red light district of Kinston
one night recently is a matter of regret to this
city. 1t is unenviable notoriety coming to Raj
eigh which it does not desire and it is the earn
est hope that any body of young men who 20 to
other places as an organized body bearing the
name of this city will so conduct themselves as
to win admiration in place of censure and trials
in court.
We do not attempt to pass upon the matter
Of the guilt or the innocence of the young men
who as members of the "Raleigh Collegians'
went to Kinston to play ball with a Kinston
team. for we are not informed concerning the
evidence. But young men Of this city who visit
other places and assemble in districts where
disreputable women house are to be censured
for any such occurrence. The Kinston Free
Press says the charge is that six Of the young
men were members of a party implicated in the
trouble, (which in the main consisted of tho
breaking down of a door, rocking of negroes.
profanity and loud talk, it is said"
Being released upon their own recosnizanco =.
appear in court in Kinston last Monday to stand
trial, the young men failed to appear, and now
they are under bonds on warrants sent from
Kinston to be taken to that place for trial to-
morrow. This is an aggrayation Of tho mo++or
for on honor the young men should have an.
peared a week ago before the court in Kinston.
One of the boys upon whom a warrant was
served charges up the trouble to boys of Kin
ston' and this made it the more imperative that
the Raleigh boys involved should have appeared
promptly in court in Kinston, in place of wait.
ing for the serving Of warrants. 1t is the hone
OF Raleigh that no young man will go from this
city bearing the name Of q Raleigh organization

FROM OUT THE HEART.

This day there will be laid to rest IN the last
sleep all that is mortal of Thomas Jordan Jar
Wis, a man who in his relations to life as cltl-
zen, soldier, legislator, Governor, foreign MIN
lister, United States Senator. counsellor, 1rleno,
husband, made reputation which reflected honor
on this State, which had honored itself IN non
oring him.
The last sad tributes will be paid by the Nortn
Carolinians who will gather in Greenvllle To-Day
and there is nothing which will be done wn1cn
has not been deserved by a life which has been
full Of service to this State which he loved SO
we'll. That part Of North Carolina which is not
at Greenville today will think on him as of the
best type of manhood, one whose life was worthy
and we'll spent, one whose career is writ into
the history of the State. The hearts OF this peo-
pie are sad because he is no more, and deep is
the sympathy for the widow in the home which
has been darkened by his going away.
