l"or the last few weeks the
. , prcsident has been the target of
all manner of blame for his discharge -
charge of thc battalion of colored
troops , 170 in number , { or complicity -
plicity in munler committcd by
from nine to twenty of .thcn ? , ,
The favorite charge which IS
brought a ainst tlJe l'resident ' ,
that of impetuosity , hils th
changcs wrung upon it , in forgetfulness -
fulness of the fllct that the charge
11 . has never yet been sul > 3tantiatcd.
The president has always been
< blamed for the discharge of , the
' battalion immediately after the
" general elections instead of just
( ' beforc , without regard to the
consideration that such an un-
' . ti ttleli ness would have exposed
i' the candidates of his party to
' . attacks and misreprcsentations
t by their opponents , whic.h there
1 ' , j , would have beeu no tune to
! JI correct. 'rhe report by the
" secretary of war vindicates the
r president's action. 'l'he facts of
f the Brownville affair , as relatcd
by Secretary'raft , are as follows :
A number of colored soldiers ,
esHlnafed at from six' to twelVe
per cent of the whole , angry at
insults received from white
citi ens of the place where the I
post is located , left their barracks' '
at night , fired into houses of the
town , killed one man , wounded
another and inflicted severe
fnjury upon the' chief of police.
AU these men were guilty of
murder in 'the first degree , for
all were participants in the
apprehension and conviction of
the offenders , whether by. testimony -
mony at inquest or trial or in
ny other way possible to him.
The at cmpt to shicld the guilty ,
by concealing them , or by refusing -
ing or e\'ading testimony against
them is a serious offense against
society and the law , and is liable
to severe punishment. . Therc is
no doubt that tbe battalion
generally knew who the guilty
were. A call to arms was im-
mchately sounded when the
firing was heard in the town ,
a:1d the other soldiers could not
. have been ignorant who the men
were who responded to the call
from the scene of the murder.
Such , news spreads , and the
detechon of the guilty could only
be concealed by a conspiracy of
silence on the part of all. The
battalion had become a menace
to society , an insubordinate
portion of the army of the United
States. The continuation of
these men as soldiers would be
perversion of the army from the
guardian of the people to it
menace. There was , therefore ,
nothing to do but discharge the
battalion. 'l'he discharge was ,
of course , "without honor , " bein
a 'case of flagrant insubordina'
tion. If any of the soldiers cat
prove themselves exempt fron
the guilt which the battalion al
a whofe incurred , .opportunity te
renlist may be given them
The president has proved himsel
. the champion of army disciplih' '
and the protector of the peopl ,
against the incipienl lawlcssnes
of militarism. He deserves t h
thanks of every honorable
citizen. . 'fhe question of cole
bas absolutely nothing to d ,
with it.
, President Roosevelt's supple
mental message to Congress 0
Panama bubbles over witl
the enthusiasm which be ha
imbibed concerning this entet
prise. He goes for th
' " knpckers and asks for loyal SUI ]
port to the men who are en agel
l thi work in the same spirit a
IS extended the army and na\ ' ) ' i
time of war.
It is a somewhat encourag l11
sign. of th tilT1e9 whe.n some 0
the men who have great fortune
, favor cithcr nn income or a
nherftancc tax. Some legislil
: ti n'of this kll1d s' absolutel
lJ1etessary in order to' relieve thos
of moderate meanq-and , the ver
the burdens which
poor"of at
: , o'r imposed upo.n them. .
. From'the state legislatm
which meets next month muc
is xpected as there w.ere man
pl dges by both republicans an
democrpts , esp.ecially in the ma
ter of railroad rat IcgislatiOl
Both parties went before tl1
vet r , w tb promises along th'
'line , con ! cquently it will be e :
'pected ' troin the legislature at tl
approaching session. . Governo
elect Sheldon will do his par
we are sure , and members of U
legislature must do theirs I
quickly fade from official fositio

School closed Friday for a two
weeks vacation. The new term
opens Jan. , 7. .
'Owing to some misunderstanding -
ing the ball game last Friday
evening was somewhat of a disappointment -
appointment , as but one Grand
Island feam showed up. However -
ever the boys are satisfied since
they beat 'em bad enougb to
make u for it. It was certainly
a surpnse to the Grand Island
boys for they were expecting to
have a "walk away" but our boys
were too much' for them in every
respect. The score was 39 to 11
in fav r of Custer College.
'l'he Jubilee held last Thursday -
day night was a success. Everyone -
one put aside the cares of college
life and went in for a good time
and it was certainly had.
Several new students are expected -
pected for the new term and
Prof. Cornett is busy these days
enlarging the business room tJ
accommodate them.
The typewriting students have
.
bcen doing. their first steno.

He is well pleased with it.
Corn husking days being oveI
we expect to see same of the boys
in who have beel1 out on account
of work.
Abraham Lincoln on the Tariff.
An exchange is of the opiniol1
that the best speech ever made
on the Tariff was delivered bJ
Abraham Lincoln. It was brief ,
but to the point , and here it is
hI do 110t know much abou1
the 'l'ariff , but I know this much ,
that when we buy manufactured
goods abroad we get the good !
and the foreigner gets the money ,
When we buy the manufacturc
goods at home we get both the
goods and the money. " States'
men who pr tend to know more
about the 'rarijT than Lincolt
1 did have made long speeches 011
the subject , but it is plain as daJ
that , as the exchange insists , olt
Abc's arg ment has never beer
surpassed- telling effecth'e ,

Sublcribera Muat Pay.
'l'he J Itl'UnLICAN is frequently
asked if a person is liable for
payment of a newspaper if he hilS
ordered it stopped , or if he never
subscribed for it. These questions -
tions have been decided by the !
Supreme courts of th states of
Iowa , New lIamphire , Delaware
and Wisconsin , and the decisioh
in each is practically the same.
If a person continues to accept a
paper sent him through the mail
he is liable for the subscription
price , regardJess of the fact that
he never subscribed for it. If
a'subscriber in arrears orders a
paper discontinued and .does not
pay the arrearages , he is 'liable
for it so long as it is sent to his
address , until he pays the whole
amount due.
