COMMENCEMENT AT THE STATE
COLLEGE.
Address of Professor Hdmiin, ON East
ern aud Western Life.

BANGOR, June q. Prof. Hamlin's address be
fore the Agi iculturs College, this evening, was
npon the Results il Eastern Civilization, of
Tradition and Authority, as Guiding Principles,
in Contrast with the Mere Scientific Methods Of
the West"
Prof. IIamhns lifelong familiarity with East
ern life, ena led him TO delineate clearly the re-
markabe difference between the East and the
West, in the essential and fundamental prime piles
upon which these two works proceed. One is I'M
changable; its Institutions live from age to age
without a wrinkle. A decade of centuries in the
one does not effect the changes of decade OF
years in the other.
The facts to illustrate this were drawn from the
method. aud the implements Of agticu lture, from
| religion, government social life, the common arts
of life aud education, but they were too extended
for any reports. lie admitted that Eastern educa-
ton, with its ancient methods two thousand years
old, often produces great mental acuteness in
marking subtle distinctions, but deprives the
mind of all fertility and invention. 1t looks rev
erently to the past and keeps to old ruts.
The amazing contrast of the West vas rapidly
presented in its ever varying institutions, divis-
ions inventions and lis onward rush after some
thing better. The renovation of the eastern
world has begun and can be carried forward and
gu ided by nothing less than the sound and thor
| ough Christian education of youth, which tears
up orientalism root and branch. The populs-
| tions are sound and strong; their systems alone
are ttfete. Not Russian bayonets but the school
master and school mann aud purified Christian
ity are the hope of the east.
10 -, a. a.
subject caused it TO be listened TO with profound
attention by his veiy Intelligent audience. lie
spoke without notes and in a style not rhetorical.
but deliberate, clear and simple.
Tuesday afternoon will be dress parade by the
Coburn Cadets. Ia the evening Presd Allen
holds reception.

The Indians.
THE SITUATION Is CONSIDERED
CRITICAL.
THE ARMY INADEQUATE TO THE
SITUATION.
General Sherman Thinks There Will b,
NO General War.

New YORK, June "a. An Omaha despatch
SAYS Gen. Crook has returned from a visit to Gen.
Sheridan.
1heIBannock troubles being in another militia
~ DIVISION, it remains for Sheridan and his brga-
diers to await the issue of Howards and Mellow
ellis operations.
Movements on the Montana frontier necessary
to protect the settlers, have crippled Sheridan 5
division so that it can render little i any assist
ance.
Officers here believe the situation exceedingly
critical, and some do not hesitate to state that the
army with its present numbers cannot put down
the Bannock instruction, to say nothing of au-
tlcipated troubles with Sitting Bulls band, and
possibly with Spotted Tail and Red Cloud.
General Crook said unless government removes
these tribes soon, according to its pledge, they
will remove themselves, which is equivalent to
going on the war path.
Gen. Sherman considers the proposed commits
sion for removal of Red Cloud and Spotted Tail
bands to the old resel vaton as job OF freighters
to up the appropriation for transportation. He
does not anticipate any Indian war. The trouble
with the Shoshones and Bannocks arises from
meagre app oprations, and she Sioux will not join
them
The commission TO the Indians will leave about
July LIST, and will confer with Red Cloud and
Spotted Tail about the reservation, where their
tribes can support themselves by agriculture and
stock raising.
1t is said the Indian commissioner has directed
all Indian agents TO insist that Indians shall work
in part for all rations given them in future.
