FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 18S5.
THE troubles in the Salvation Army seem to arise out of the fact that there are too many Booths. Developments show that it is nothing but a family fight.
THE Democratic papers are not making the country ring with the statistics of our imports 'Of foreign wool, and foreign woolen goods, during our first year's experience with free raw materials.
THE provision of the law against alien contract labor, which gives onethird of the fine to the informer, is making things lively. So far the Government has thus paid §20,000 to informers.
THE total amount realized from the bond issue will be $111,378,836,97, the average rate, therefore, being] 11,3788. The government makes a profit of 87,378,800 by not repeating its last contract with the Morgan syndicate.
IT is estimated that 90 per cent of the tea used in this country is adulterated with plumbago,«Prussian blue or willow leaves. Yet ipeople will buy the cheapest teas, irrespective of adulteration. The average individual thinks cheapness is the chief end in buying.
WITH the Australian ballot more or less in vogue, and the Australion (Torrens) land title system under consideration, we seem to be tailing lessons from a younger nation than our ownWhen anything good comes, even though it be'from Nazareth' it should be accepted.
THE Nicaragua canal project is receiving a great deal of attention in both the House and the Senate and there is not muchgdoubt that it will receive the aid of this Congress in one shape or another. There are a number of propositions before the House, but the two that are receiving consideration propose the issue of government bonds to complete the work, or the endorsement of the company's bonds to enable it to raise the money.
THE Ways and Means Committee of the House has selected William E. Curtis, the brilliant Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record, as an expert to examine the tariff laws of other countries and the statistics of commerce and to report how and to what extent the principle of reciprocity can be applied in our commercial intercourse with them. This is an important task, for upon iMr. Curtis' re' port, it is expected, will be based a comprehensive reciprocity scheme. It is considered certain that revival of reciprocity on an enlarged and improved plan will be a leading feature of Republican policy in the near future, though it is not thought anything will be done with it by this Congress.
THE eagerness of capitalists to subscribe for the different issues of United-States bonds, offering five or six times the amount called for and paying a handsome premium for the same is explained by the fact that there is a firm belief and expectation that the present Democratic policy of meeting the necessary expenses of the government by these same bond issues will be entirely changed by the elec tion next Fall of a Republican Presi dent and Congress, and, of course, the beginning of a different method of raising necessary revenues by a return to a system of custom duties which will also include adequate protection to home industries. If the Cleveland policy of borrowing money by the is sue of bonds from time to time, as the necessity may arise, should be con tinued, how in the name of all reason could the bonds ever be paid?
COLLEGE ROWDYISM.
The Chicago Tlmes-Uerahl, editorial ly commenting on the epidemic of col lege rowdyism, says:
There seems to be an epidemic of rowdyism and flagrant insubordination among college students. Some of the class riots of the year have exhibited a more brutal type of pugilism than ordinarily developed in college ath letics. Instances of gross and offen Biv.e defiance of college authority have been noted at Missouri State University, Wabash College, at Crawfordsville, Ind., and at Monmouth College, this State. In a fracas over class colors at the latter institution one student had his leg broken, others were Seriously bruised and one was knocked

senseless and now lies in a critical condition. The riot occurred directly, after chapel exercises, showing the mollifying influence of religious services over the average college student.
Of course a certain amount of rowdyism is expected from college students. Not all the young men whose parents send them to the higher institutions of learning are gentlemen. They belong to the class of incorrigibles who cannot be controlled at home, and it is foolishly inagined that the refinements of scholastic erudition which they drink in daily from the books and the contact with the uplifting environment of the classroom will make up for the deficiencies of home training. A few broken legs, an occasional cracked skull and a few gouged eyes are expected during the foot ball Beason. but the public sees no excuse for these brutalities during tha nonbelligerent portion of the college semesters
It is unfortunate that the colleges are compelled to carry a lot of driftwood that comes ofttimes from families of wealth, who indulge the delusion that a college can create brains where there are none and who think higher education can make a gentleman out of a ruffian. The incorrigibles should be weeded out and sent home, no matter how much wealth they represent. Give the industrious and gentlemanly students a fair show.
