THETRIBUNF, n few weeks ago, urged upon its read
ers the observance Of common sense in the use and
abuse of their eyes, having noted the appalling in-
crease Of defective vision in this country during the
last few years Here is an additional gratuitous
hint from one of the greatest of English oculists.
which NAV save the next generation both money
and comfort. For you strike the tap root of mans
vital strength when You njure his eyesight, and to
send him TO an ocust is often literally to empty
his pockets Our British ncighbOrs are troubled
with short-sight TO as great degree as Americans,
and Dr. Taylor declares that this is largely owing to
the strain put upon the eyes of children and youth.
Nature" he says, never intended that we should
spend the greater part of working moments in de-
cipherng minute black dots spread oat upon sheet
of paper" In proof of his theory he states that Dr.
Cohn, of Bresiau, recently examined 10000 chill
dren and found that the disease increased progress
syely in the ascent Of the pupils from the lower to
the upper schools Absolute rest is the only certain
cure for this disease Its prevention may be insured
even when it Is hereditary by working with light
coming from above and behind, and by avoiding
any attempt Mt study in or carriages or while
living down or leaning forward More than all, is
the proper training of the eye out of doors. Nature
naturally meant this organ to be used at long dis
tances as well as at foots length. We have never
heard of short-sight among our Red men OF the
field hands of the South.

common aspiration among American students is
that their colleges may realize their ideal of Uni
versty, and vast deal Of nonsense is talked about
optional studies lectures in place Of Rotations and
the abolition of the marking system. The broad
freedom of the German universities and its noble
results in national scholarship are pointed to
with an air which to say" That settles it," and
vet in their inner consciousness the young men of our
colleges know that the argument does not apply.
system Of voluntary study can succeed only where
the sense Of ones obligation to himsefis stronger
than any written law American students are con-
stantly demonstrating to the country that this
essential condition does not exist here. Selfrespect
implies respect for others. Ii cannot be denied that
IN the best colleges of the United States spirit
exists we will not say of antagOnism to the nstruc-
tors, but of childish Interpretation of the advan-
tages which their character and atainments guaran-
tee To mention only few examples: While tho
" gentlemen OF Yale fail so utterly to realize what
il is TO have great scholar among them that Pro-
fessor Whitney must interrupt his lecture to take
the names of those who are climbing out the back
windows while at Princeton the students find time
to follow DIR. McCosh around the Campus with cat
calls and cries of Jimmy Jimmy $50 long as
it Is necessary for the Faculty Of Michigan Uni
yersty to protect themselves from the insults OF the
class historian aud by resolving not to grad
nate any students who may class day act with
disrespect toward the Faculty - so long a similar
spirit maniests itself throughout the year at other
institutions may be fairly doubted if the time has
yet come to set wider the bounds Of college freedom

THE SILVER CONFERENCE.
The President Continues to show His Hos
ttIity to "A silver Currency.


WASHINGTON June, ADMINISTRATION at
the appointment OF Fenton and Groesbeck on
the silver commission continues. It is pos
sible that Fenton may be rejected, unless the
President should Withdraw his name. The
silver men are not satisfied with him. They
say he has never identified himself with
the silver movement, and that he at most
is politician who only seeks the place
for political advantage. The delegation Of
the Senate Finance Committee which waited
upon the President to induce him to with
members m en- Of the international Monetary Con-
ference was not successful The President
heard their objections, and stated that he
could not withdraw their names, and that the
Senate must either confirm or reject them.
The appointment Of Fonten Is said to be an
other effort of Evarts to play the politician
1t is necessary that Fenton should be recog-
nized In some way, and. as he could not be
from being neglected altogether, he has been
given this conspicuous place.

JUDGE BLACK ON THE FRAUDS.
lie Thinks Hayes ''sIy" and sherman and
Matthews Guilty.

lNeW 1OrK SJar.1
A reporter met ex-Judge "Jere" Black, as
he came out Of the Surrogate's Court yester-
day afternoon, and had q talk with him on the
famous fraud and the Potter investigation.
The veteran lawyer and statesman did not
mince matters much, but was boldly pro-
nounced in his oplnions on the prominent
points of the subject.
He has no doubt that John Sherman and
Stanley Matthews are both guilty, but Is will
ing to give them the benefit of any doubt
there may be In other peoples minds, until
all the testimony Is before the country. He
SAYS. IL he was In the Senate, he would make
motion to have Stanley Matthews ex-
PEELED.
SHERMAN is in q tight place." said the
Judge, "and I don't see how he is going to
overwhelming, and they are both convicted
out OF their own mouths and by their own
conduct"
Mr.. Black regards Stanley Matthews at
tempt to shield himself with Senatorial priv
ilpges as the thinnest kind OF pretext. "He
has no greater privileges than any other
man, and he will be obliged to attend the
committee, or suffer the penalty due to any
other witness In default"
Suppose the frauds are made manifest
what will be the result In reference to the re-
tention or deposition Of Hayes?" asked the
reporter.
unless 1t can be proved that he has had guilty
knowledge OF the frauds by which ne was
| counted in, and then the proper course
would be by Impeachment"
"What do you think OF his letters to Mr.
Evarts recommending Anderson and Dennis
| for official positions on the ground that they
were special cases ?
IL think it will be difficult to prove that hi
| Is directly responsible, or has personal knowl
edge OF the fraud, from these letters. think
he has probably been shrewd enough to save
himself"
The Judge is not prepared to give any opin-
| ion as TO the result in the event OF Hayes
| impeachment. but thinks that such an ISSUE
would be a good precedent In the constitu
tional history of the country, and that subse
quent events could take care of themselves
| But the greatest mistake of all, he said, was
| committed by the Democrats on the Electora
| Commission. They should have resisted tn
fraud in its inception, and have put their fee
down firmly on the first attempt to tampe
with the constitutional mode of electing tn
| President.
He has considerable faith In Butler as al
investigator and on reflection, In spite of hi
opinion of HAYES shrewdness, says it Is pos
sble that the Essex statesman may uneartl
so many secrets and elicit so much testimOn!
that impeachment may be possible after ALL
The Judge said, finally, in closing the inter
view: Butler will throw brick at him tina
will hurt him, at all events
