THE COMPETING COLLEGIANS.

The Intercollegiate Contest which is to take
place tonight at the Academy of Music has
already created so much interest among all
those who care for matters of education that
its continuance and success in the future are
already secured. The letter which we printed
Yesterday from DR.. McCosh is a proof not
only of the attention which the proposed COM
petitiOn demands from our leading instructors,
but of the prospect which it affords of far
wider influence and Importance hereafter. The
experiment has already ceased to be doubtful.
The cooperation of colleges enough to make
the contest an exceedingly interesting one was
assured from the beginning, and private
munfcence has provided ample prizes for the
contestants. Those who go to the Academy
tonight will therefore have the opportunity
of assisting at the Inauguration of series of
intellectual entertainments which may last
longer than any of us, and which will be very
likely to attain an Importance not cOntem-
plated even by its original projectors.
There is now no question but that very
many colleges, which have been prevented by
lack of time for the necessary preparations
from joining the Association this year, will
enroll themselves in season for the next an
nual competition. The good example set by
Mrs, Astor will speedily be followed by others.
and the contest will naturally be broadcned
and developed to embrace, according to our
suggestion and that of DR.. McCosh, competitive
essays in the fields of science and the classics.
The plan is good ono; the time is appro-
pirate for setting it on foot. and there is good
reason to hope that the Association will
steadily gain strength and Importance every

worth while TO notice the ferocious vaporings
of men like Logan and Morton. Nothing was
done in the Senate. In the House OF Repre-
sentatives it WAS still worse. Mr.. Cox said an
appropriate word or two about Louisiana, and
elected the Administration view OF the case
from the mouth of Gen. Butler, who said he
"was as anxious to get at Louisiana as any
man. and that the only way to guarantee
republican form of government to State was
for the United States to exDel intruders from
its Legislature. No member of the House
is 80 ighor INT as to think this is legal and its
shameless effrontery is the best proof we have
yet seen of the hopelessness of the Admins
tratiOn organization. There Is q pretenso OF
waiting until the Sub Committee return and
report, and If Gen. Sheridan does not proceed
at once to his hanging and shooting. there
will be one last chance for a sane judgment.
There can be little doubt as to the verdict OF
Messrs. Foster, Phelps, and Potter. But in the
mean time tho situation is to the last degree
critical and hazardous. Sheridan Is in New
Orleans, anxious for q riot, and with oil the
means in his hands to excite one. Grant, in
full sympathy with him, is surrounded by
Cabinet which as yet gives forth no note OF
independence. No Administration member has
as yet shown the least disposition to make his
associates listen to reason. The party can
never survive this trial. We earnestly hope
that in its ruin it may not infict iTreparable
disaster upon the country.

THE CANALS.

Tho message of the Governor and annual
reports of the Auditor and Controller contain
full information in regard to the financial re-
suits of running the canals for the year ended
on the Both of September. 1t appears by the
Auditors report that the business OF the season
which ended with the close of navigation
shows a falling off of about 100000 in the
earnings, as compared with tho season OF 1873.
The prospects are that the fiscal year which
ends on the Both of next September will show
O gross income of not more than S2,5OO,OOO. or
S2,6OO,OO0, as compared with $2,921,722 last
year. This will be likely to bring the income
below the total of ordinary and extraordinary
repairs The tables in the Controllers and
Auditors reports, showing total income for
last year of 1925, 1854 Al in excess of all dis
bursements, do not include in the disburse-
ments the interest on the Canal debt
There is, therefore, no immediate prospect
of relief from canal taxes, and consequently
no valid reason for another reduction in the
tolls. 1t is true that during the season just
ended the railroads maintained sharp COM
petition with the canal boats, but our impress
sion is that the canal had the best of it. The
railroads will not persist in carrying grain at
a loss, and it is not at all probable that either
canal, lake, or railroad freights will rule as
low this year as they did last. But even at
last years rates it is claimed that the steam
canal boats did profitable business.
