during the time he has been in Ravenna.
His large increase Of business Is the strongest evil
denee TO him that his efforts to produce the best pic
lures known to the Photographic Art, are duly appre
ciated And at the same time he would state that he
has recently put In a NEW LIGHT. making it the
largest best light in this section of the country,
and has also purchased large and superior

DR. DAILY AND THE INDIANA UNivERsIrY
SrUDENTs.-The Bloomington Republican
deDies that there has been any serious dis
turbance in the State University in conse-
qucnce Of DR.. Daily's resignation. Thirteen
students only have applied for dismission. -
On the other hand, it states that a number Of
the students, and especially those Of the So
nior class, had resolved if DR.. Daily was rs-
elected that they would leave without grad
usting. So it appears that the resignation
has done at least as much to retain students
- it has to drive them Off; and il has rid the
University Of . disgrace. The balance Of
benefit is clearly on the side Of the resigna-
tion.

Mr.. Crittenden, of Kentucky, made speech
the other day strongly condemning the thirty
million bill for the purchase Of Cuba, and
the measures of the Administration generally
in regard to the governments Of Central and
South America. Hc regarded the acquisi-
ton Of Cuba as desirable, but looked upon
the present as most unpropitious time for
negotiations. The Presidents message was
received in Spain, throughout oil Europe,
and even in down trodden Cuba itself as an
insult, touching the pride Of Spain, and arous-
ing ~ indignant protest from the Cubans
against being bought and sold like brutes at
thes HANDLES. Spain will not sell the great
powers of Europe would. not consent if she
were disposed to. But, if mono Of these
things were in the way, this is no time to pur-
chase Cuba. "We::have been obliged to 90
into debt for household expenses, raised one
loan for market money, and another is want
cd. The treasury emits funeral sound
when knocked at for money, for there 10 none
there. He did not moan to say that the coun-
try cannot produce any amount Of men and
money, but it 10 more convenient at ono time
than another.
els it convenient. now to have fastened on
rs and our children ten million per annum
interest on &2OO, OoO, 900 loan for the pur-
chase Of Cuba ?,'
Mr.. Crittenden also spoke Of the true poll
10y Of the government in regard to the weak
States Of Central America:
Il was the policy Of the American Govern.
ment to maintain friendly feeling with all
nations on this continent. he remembered
when the American name was loved, when j,
was dear TO struggling Republics.
The declarations OF encouragement that
had been spoken by the voice Of Henry Clay
were read q the head Of their armies. Have
We lost all this2 Read the message; there
you will SEQ thst We ate ut varisnce with Mex
loo, Costa Rica and Guatemala. We have
difficulties existing from the Fejee Islands to
the Spanish throne. Do all these specks OF
war augur wcll for the revenue? Yet bill
is now pending to place the military and na-
val forces in the hands Of the President.
Has any one the constitutional power to
make war except Congress- No; but you
can hold threat over the heads Of these
small States, make them tremble, and settle
any claim whenever il shall appear good to
the President to do it. Mr.. Crittenden did
not think it worthy the magnanimous char
acter of our country to hunt ont the weak
and let the strong 60 free. II that bill should
pass, can We expect to be at peace when We
have, even now, to renew our geographical
knowledge to know where the places are with
which We have difficulties.
