THE vANDERBrrr uNrvEHsIr z.


The New York Nation is i'll at ease be-
cause Commodore Vanderbilt has been
giving liberally-more literally perhaps
than wisely-to sectarian seminsries In
Tennessee, ETC., parting it is said with "a
million of dollars. The wisdom Of the be-
quest is doubted as having sbsen. made for
.sectarisa purposes. We cannot see it in this
light. The Vanderbilt University to be
established here is certainly to be some
thing more than sectarian seminary. That
twill be managed by the eminent divines
composing the Methodist Conference is true,
and affords the best possible assurance of
its successful management. But the theol-
ogical feature Is not the University. The
foundation will be broader than that. 1t is
not supposable that its classical, scientific,
agricultural, medical and law departments
are to be tinctured with sectarianism. For
these are and ought to be entirely separate
and distinct from the theological depart
ment. Under this view of ''the University"
what is there to prevent the classical and
medical departments of our Nashville
University from being merged in the Van
derbilt University? Why may not the
former retain its properties, its endowments
and its management as a college within the
grand University founded by Mr.. Wander
bilt? Is such an accommodation impossi.
bic? There are many different colleges
separately endowed within the Universities
of Oxford and Cambridge.

WHAT RADICAL RULE COSTS
THE PEOPLE.

aThe Albany argus, which has taken the
trouble to sift { Ie public documents, states
that during the seven years from June,
1866, to July, 1872, the taxes collected of
the people by the government amounted to
So, 402, $50, 452, Of which sum only S427,-
396,541 was applied upon the principal of
the public debt; leaving net revenue of
S2,975, 1891 expended for matters inde-
pendent of the debt.
During the seventy years from 1871 to
1861, the total receipts of the government
from tariff and The sales of public land
amounted to but 81, $50. $50, 14O; which suf-
feed not only to defray the ordinary ex.
penses Of government, but the cost of the
Revolutionary War, the war of 1872, the
Mexican war, with interest; the debt of
Texas, and the cost of the purchase of the
Louisiana territory, Florida and California.
which is two-thirds Of the present terrific
Iisl area of the United States.
The statements, then, compare as follows.

Seventy years, including war
debts and territorial purchase. l,730, $50 14O
Excess of the last seven years. 81, pa Co, lOl
This comparison is imperfect, however,
the argus says, unless we charge to tie &C
count of the last seven years the amount
paid upon the debt as an offset to The
amounts paid towards the three preced-
ing wars ard upon territorial pur-
chsses. BY making the comparison in
that form, We find that the cost of SEVEN
YEARS OF REPUBLICAN RULE is DOUBLE
THAT OF THE SEVENTY YEARS OF ITS
PREDECESSORS. The average annual ex-
penses Of the first seventy years of the ex-
isieBce of the government was but S24,-
T2l,S52. The average annual expenses of
the last seven years has been S4S6, O76, 6S6.

THE Baltimore papers are urging the
constructing Of ship canal of sufficient
dimensions to admit the passage of ships of
the largest dimensions, from Queenstown,
Nd, on the Chester river, across the East
ern Shore Peninsula to some point on the
Delaware Bay near Cape Henlopen. dis
lance Of about thirty miles. 1t is claimed
that this canal would give a direcs line of
communication from the sea to that port,
which is at present reached through long
and tortuous route of river and bay navi-
cation. Il is also claimed that it would
give to merchants and business men Of the
West and Northwest a cheaper and more
convenient outlet to the ocean than they
now have.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM-WAIL
FROM AN .ORGAN9,sa

FROM AN sORGAN?'s
In bis letter to Mr.. Joseph Medill, of
Chicago, accepting, bis resignation as a
member ofthe Civil Service Board, Grant
assures him ''that the spirit of the rules
adopted will be maintained" But the let
ter, the substance, appears to have been
kicked to the dogs. Cumulative evidence
of the utter abandonment, on
the part of the president, of
the pre'ence of civil-service reform is
furnished by his appoin ment ola surveyor
ofthe port of Baltimore. The appointee is
a politician belonging to the Cresswell fac
sion of the Republican par
ty in Maryland. Cresswell is
evidently master Of the situation, having
overcome the strong pressure recently
brought to bear for bis removal, and being
now ind lged in the control of the patron
age for his State. This view, as to the
abandonment of civil service reform appears
to be taken by the Baltimore american,
the Republican organ in Maryland, and a
staunch Administration journal. That pa
per has the following melancholy wall over
civil service reform in its issue of April 10:
ave don't know how it is in other States,
but civil service reform has been entirely
abandoned in Maryland. The Collector,
Naval Officer and Surveyor have all been
removed and the work of slaughter among
the innocents in the subordinate ranks has
commenced. 1t is nothing but simple JUS
tice to say that all these offices were re-
garded al the departments as among the
most efficient 10 the service. There have
not only been no promotions, but nearly
all those In the line of promotions go out
with their principals. We never did relieve
civil service reform likely to last long enough
to get it in full operation, and supposed it
was sure to be disregarded just as soon as
there should be change of Presidents.
"We hope, however, that its death will be
officially promulgated, and that there Will
be no more announcements about examin-
ing boards and other impossibilities bred in
the brain of the defunct (Jenckes). While
believing it when adopted at Phiadelphis
to be mere campaign catch, we were will
ing to give it a fair trial, and when the
President announced in his inaugural his
determination TO adhere to it in letter and
spirit, we thought that it would likely last
the Presidential term. 1t seems TO have
taken but few days of actual experience
in enforcing it to have brought about a
change of mind, as it has been gradually
approaching dissolution from the time of its
BIRTH"

HE New York Journal Of Commerce
recently published a most interesting article
II relation to the wonderful advances that
have been made within the last decade in
meteorological sciences and the art Of fore
telling the weather In 1860, the frst
weather telegraphs were issued in France,
and from that time the system has spread
into all parts Of Europe and the United
States, and the per centage Of accuracy
steadily increased.

An announcement by the London Civil
Service Commissioners that eleven vacan-
cies were to be filed in the metropo Titan
post Offices, recently brought over 1000
women as candidates for the position.
Many Of the applicants were girls of the

good social position, including daughters of
clergymen and professional men, well con-
nected, tenoerly nurtured; but, neverthe-
ess, driven by circumstances to geek for the
means Of Independent support.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer is correct when
it says that the great mistake made by the
European republicans is their hostility to
religion. This has ever been their distin-
guished characteristic. The first revolution
of France in 1850, if not in its origin, soon
became Atheistic and Infdel, and went to
the greatest excuses in that direction. The
revolutionists since have always displayed
the same spirit. The American revolution
was successful because religion was kept
out of the contest. completely and entirely.

The question of license or no license was
submitted to the people of Pennsylvania a
few weeks ago, and thirty-seven counties
gave msjorities footing up 36,771 against
license, while twenty-seven counties gave
msjorities aggregsting 5S,821 in favor Of
license; thus showing a majority in the
State of 22,O50 in favor of licensing the sale
of liquors. But two cities-Altoona and
and WilliSmsport-voted against license,
while fifteen voted in favor of licensing the
sale.
