Those congressmen who are talking about abolishing the National Military Academy at West I’olnt, "If hazing can not be abolished," are merely "talking through their hate." And they know It, and the country knows It. Why should men with brain enough to be elected to < ongrets talk nonsense? The Rev.

A number of oculists had given up his cast ae hopeless, but he con tinued to pray, and Ihe "scales" finally fell from his eyes.

It Is now heHevi and that the shin-sub sidy bill will be forced over to the next Congress The Republicans twill have tt larger majority then than they have now. and It may be that the Mil will then be passed. Meantime It la unquestlonnhly the fact that the longer action la delayed the weaker the bill becomes. Public opinion Is becoming aroused against the Iniquity of the thing.

There Is a feature of the Bins Mil which Is pending In the legislature the bid .ail ing a constitutional convention which ought to bn given very careful considera tion. 11 la that one wnlh provides that member* of the convention shall serve slihouk comitem-allon. Home men seek election to constitutional conventions for the honor connected with the position, others because they believe they iwn do Ihc state good service and still others because they have axes to grind—th 11, Ihey represent some Inter rois which want certain provisions put In or kept out of the constitution. If the El.la bill shouel pass In its pres ent shape, men not having ample Incomes would not seek membership In tbe con vention They could no* afford to leave lhir business.-* or professions.

It I* r'l-orle.l that the sentiment of the legislature Is strongly In favor of a ttm atltdtlonal convention, i If that l Ihe rase. It I- hot improbable that the Ellis hill either In Its present shape or with some e lianges, will pass. There Is no doubt that the present lons.lttitlon Is larking In some very Important particulars, but the dut.ger of getting one that would he less favorable lo the development and progress of Ihe state ought to he taken into roil si. ter at ton In connection with the question of the advisability of calling . onstltuttuna 1 convention.

As the country grows the demand for Ihe Improvement of rlversand hrhors ln cr. ase*. And the river and harbor hill Is made lo rover kinds of improvement* never even considered by Congress a quarter of a century ago. For Instance, the scdtVme that Chicago has Induced the River wnd Harbor Commit!** to regard with favor -the scheme of unloading her drainage canal on Ihe t'nlted H'l*s and of constructing a steamboat canal, havipe a depth of It, and perhapa I*. feet from Chlcwgo lo Bt Tonis, with the view of ultimately extending It to New Orleans— tvouid never have been considered for a moment by a River *nd Harbor Commit tee a generation ago.

It looks Ilk-- tm effort on Ihe |*rt of Chicago to get the general government to undertake Ihe maintenance of her drainage .anal which she has constructed at th* cost of many millions of dollars. It Is hardly reasonable to suppose that Congress would undertake to open a ship channel from Chicago lo New Orleans.
