HitterFu.,anous.
(New London Telegram.)


 The New York Sun says that Pro- lessor Yandell Henderson Is guilty of having an heterophemou stenograph- CT. We have seen red-headed sten- cgraphers, and oleaginous stenogra- phers, impecunious stenogra phers. i'm petuous stenogra impecca ble stenographers, and other stenograph- CTS in fine variety, but the hetero- phemous kind is a new style and if Dr. Henderson really has one, we should think. off hand, from the sound, which is all we have to judge by. that the fact might, indeed, as the Sun suspects, have good deal to do with the peculiarities of his essays.
 But seriously, we are rather sympa- tketic toward the professor. He seems to be getting a terrific lot of abuse for daring to say his plain, calm, con- siderably justified mind about the Ger mans Few of his carpers take issue with him on his assertions, but most feel public duty in calling him every name that lawful ink will print, ;
 pr. Henderson may have been a, progressive, and. he certainly strained conventions when he actually went out among the people and tried to persuade them of his views. but that is no reason why folks should say he has heterophemous stenogra pher. Such talk is infamous. It is cruel too, to compromise a enographer, who may be man, after all.

Nfidshipmen in Disgrace. fNaw York World.

The United States navy can vol spare any future officers who are guilty of cheating in examinations at Annapolis. How many midshipmen actually shared in the irregularities is not yet known, but three have been under arrest pending an investigation by court of inquiry.
 A military training that fails to !r- culcate a high sense of honor is a failure at the start. The army and navy need no men in the service who are lacking in that essential. Anna polls is the preparing ground for character and midshipmen who prove dishonesty in the classroom are not of the material to be trusted with rank and responsibility in the distin- guished calling to which they had been elected. If they will do this in the green tree. what may they do in the dry?
 The navy itself has more reason than anybody else to be jealous of it's honor and to guard against lapses from its rigid code. There has been a strong tendency, both in the case and gloss, over offenses against the regulations. This has appeared through the exercise of political hl- fluence in congress and excessive good nature in other high quarters In the past. It is so easy to plead against ruining young mans future but in the end the army and navy are made to suffer.
 What speakes worst for Annapolis in the present circumstances is that the general feeling against cheating in examinations should not. have made it impossible. When that seu- timent does not exist in sufficient strength to enforce right standards, it must be created by extreme disci- plinary measures
