The recent attempt to burn the industrial
university at Champaign, though frustrated,
Is exciting considerable comment in connec-
ton with circumstances that cast grave suspi-
clon upon the students as the would be incen.
diaries. But why should the students desire
to burn the concern up? The State Register
suggests: Perhaps these students, who are
on the inside, know what folly the whole
business is, and to save the people further ex.
pensc in running this educational jim-crack,
concluded to make bonfire of it. They prob,
ably are aware that the state could cheaper af.
ford to abandon the buildings than TO keep it
grinding away for no general good"

have translated hell out of the Bible" the
General Council of the Reformed Episcopal
church, which met last week in New York
concluded to expunge the offensive word from
their articles Of faith. That portion of article
SO of their faith, which read that "The wicked
shall suffer everlasting punishment in hell, u
was amended so as to read: "The council of
the Reformed Episcopal church hereby aflirms

of God concerning the future reward and pen.

ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE

Doubtless there was general feeling of re-
lief on Monday when 1t became known to q
certainty that the legislature Of Illinois had
adjourned on noon of that day. Not that the
legislature had done any particular harm, any
more than that it had done any notable good.
The constant uneasness WAS that it mint do
harm, while nobody looked for any good from
1t. 1t had been in session five months, at an
expense to the people of $250000 1t had be-
fore it l67 bills, among which were few the
people wanted passed, but many Of a mischiev-
Gus and pernlcious character. Happily but
1856 became laws, of which 81 were the usual
appropriation bills, leaving but 50 measures of
a general nature, none of which, however, are
of any striking importance and which will
probably benefit or trouble the lawyers more
than anybody else.
At this writing we have yet seen no list of
the bills actually passed and though such lis,
may be published before most of the acts go
into ettect-July lst-tew will be able to know
exactly whats the law" until they appear, a
a month or two hence, perhaps, in the new
statute book.
Meantime we can mention that among the
acts passed the last day or two of the session
was one reducing the dog tax to so cts. an
act providing that bonds of administrators of
estates shall not be as large as new required
by law; an act to restore the former law in re-
gard to the assessment OF real estate; an act
approprating $4,000 for a system of inspec-
ton to prevent the spread of pleuro-pneumon-
Ia; an act making decoration day a legal holi.
day; an act appropratlng $1,000 to repair the
supreme court house at Ottawa; and an act
approprating $53l,712 to complete the new
state house, provided the people at the election
in 1882 vote In favor of such appropriation.
No apportionment bill having been passed.
Of course an extra session next winter becomes
necessary to do that job, and as that will open
the gates for general legislation doubtless an
o her five months session of the Illinois legis-
lature may be looked forward to as an newt
able afllcuon within the current year.

financial depression. The cotton mills have
nearly all been compelled to close, the imports

enduring five years bad trade and political
