AN electioneering device recently brought
to light in England is worthy of the careful
study of American politicians. Mr.. Albert
Grant was ambitious to represent the bur-
rough of Kidderminster, the great carpet
manufacturing place, in Parliament. Now
Kldderminster embraces two great classes,
the manufacturers OF carpets and the buyers
of carpets, and Mr.. Grant was anx Gus to con-
ciate both. So he brought up all the carpets
in the place at an advance of ten per cent.
over market rates, which won the manufac-
tuSers, and sold them at ten per cent. lower
than the market rates, which won the buy
ers. This strike of genius, which would
make the reputation of an American states
man, was looked upon by the British Par la
ment as corrupt practice, and so the enter
prising Mr.. Grant was unseated.

Colby University.

The progressive spirit developed in the an
niyersaIy proceedings at Colby University
and the prosperous outlook ofthe institution,
and scholastic culture. Much of this is due
to the practical earnestness and efficiency oil
President Robins and his coadjutors on the
faculty, but much more is attributable to the
interest and helptulness shown by the alum
nj aud other friends of the college. Money.
labor and good words are freely contributed
from all quarters. The steady adherence OF
the college to the old paths of study and
training, approved by time and good re
suits, and the absence of everything of the
fantastic and empirical from its management
and systems attract the favor of large
and imoortant conservative element of our
people, while the readiness to take all steps
in advance consistent with the maintenance
of the Old standards is satisfactory to the
more progressive of its friends. The speech
of MI. Blaine elsewhere briefly reported is a
just expression of the general feeling.
Perhaps the most notable event at the last
commencement was the action looking to

the Coburn fund, for the establishment o

fostered by the college. One Of them the
Classical Institute at Watervilie-sends this
year twelve students to the college and a
class of eight have entered from another

That both these schools will be greatly en-
larged by the attractions afforded from the
increase of their income cannot be doubted.
At Gcrnam school will be established with
a permanent income-producng fund of $50,
600 beside the buildings and grounds, which,
together with $4,000 in money, are con-
trbuted by Gorham. The location is in all
respects favorable and it may fairly bc
assumed that here will be built up one of the
