NEWSPAPER CHANGE. Some OF
the leading men of the Baptist de.
nomination in this city have done a
wise thing in bringing about con-
solidatiOn of the two Baptist papers,
the Watchman and Reflector and
Christian Era, with the idea of Civ
ing the denomination one well man
aged, ably conducted paper. I'M
der the new arrangement Rev. DR..
Olmstead, who has been for so many
years connected with the Waterman,
will retain a connection with the
paper. Rev. DR.. Lorimer, the able
and popular pastor Of the Temple
church, will be the leading manager,
and will call to his aid such help as
will make the paper worthy the wide
support of the denomination. While
it will hold firmly to the peculiar
views of the denomination, it will
deal kindly and charitably with the
views of others, who differ from it,
and will aim to be Il power for good
with all to whom it may have access.
The change will take place early in
December, and we wish the new
enterprise much success.-Boston

put his foot down fiat on the Cuban
question. Should the latest efforts
of Minister Cushing in urging Spain
to settle the troubles in the island
by ceding it to the Uuited States
and in nothing says one correspon-
dent, the policy of recognitian of
the Cuban republic will be recon-
mended to Congress,a precedent for
such a step being found in our course
toward Mexico in recognizing, an
nexing and subsequently fighting
for the Republic and State of Texas.

shou Id abandon the irreverent farce

reading Of the Bible in our public

feel that this would be the right
thing to do, who are yet unwilling
to yield the point, because it would
seem like surrender to Romish die
tation. Like Falstaif, they do not
choose to be virtuOus on compuISiOu.
But if it be our conviction, however
it may have been reached. it will be
true dignity to act upon il. No
good cause loses 10y just concessions
Chen, and then only, can we place
our public school system on an i'm
prcgnable foundation. Then only
Will all plausibility DC taken away
from the claims for Roman and
other sectarian schools. Then, also
would the churches be made to feel
anew and more deeply the duty of
religious education Of the children

PORK. The one farm product
which is likely to be unexceptional.
ly high this year is pork. 1t is more
likely to go up than down for the
next eight weeks. Hogs are dying
by the hundreds and thousands at
the West; the supply of salt stock
is below the average; the number
of swine in the country, even if they
were in suitable condition to fat.
ten, is less than it has been for five
years; and putting these things to-.
gcthcr it would seem certain that
the price will rule high for a consid-
cradle time to come. In most of
the cities of the East it is selling
now for ten cents, with an upward
tendency. AT this price it will pay
any farmer to feed his hogs until
they are as good and as heavy as
they can be made, provided he gets
them to market, and has the money
for them in readiness to be sailed

The DISTURBANCE AT DARTMOUTH
On Thursday morning, President Smith
read to the students in chapel, the follow
ing action Of the Faculty in regard to the
recent disturbances
"Whereas some of our students have
recently been engaged in certain riotous
proceedings, of a very censurable and
| disgraceful character, on account ofWhich
as the Faculty were about to deal with
them in what was deemed an appropriate
| and effective way--ten of the alleged Of
tenders were indicted by the Grand Jury
and are now awaiting their trial there
fore,
Voted-1. That the cases of the persons
SO indicted be held in obeyance till the
conclusion of the case in the civil court
2. That we take this occasion to reaf-
firm, what we deem it important that our
students should ever remember, that they
are as truly and fully subject to the laws
of the land as any other dweller therein !;
that if they violate those laws they are
liable to the penalties prescribed, especi-
ally to punishment by the civil arm for
any outrage upon the persons or proper
ty of others and that it is the right of
any one injured by theln-as it would be
their right in like circumstances--to seek
protection and vindication by the civil
power. The impression must never be
allowed that the laws of the State are
null and void within our College pre-
cincts. Nor will Dartmouth College ever
take--as it never has taken-the attitude
of opposition to the course of public JUS
tice. Such an attitude would i'll benefit an
institution whose object it is to trainmen
for the great duties Of citizenship.
3. That while we deplore the outra-
ges which have been committed by some
of our students, and which are wholly
without ex cuse, we are gratiied by the
misunderstanding to reports industri-
ously circulated-that the majority Of
them condemn all such autrages and are
decidedly in favor of law and order.
4. That several members of College
not indicted in the Civil Court, but known
to us to have participated more or less in
the series of riotous acts, be punished
as their cases may require, by separation
or suspension"
In accordance with the last clause SEN
tence has, in some cases, been already
passed, and the President intimated that
others might follow.

len months of the year have
