business peaceable county has can
almost forced into the necessity of
legislature to come to the districts re-
lief.-Windom Reporter.
We are privately informed that they
fear up at Window that division of
the district would result in the appoint
ment Of Worthington lawyer as
Judge. The Reporter, however, is be-
coming reconciled, for it says else
where:
If the legislature divides the judicial
district. there is probability that Sena-
ter Perkins would be the choice of a
large number Of the lawyers for jndge.
Had he not been in the Senate when
the judges salary was increased, he
would have been appointed when Judge
Dickinson resigned.

Six years ago the editor of the AD.
VANCE suggested I" Prof. Humistor
the founding Of such an institution Of
learning. The want of new universe
ties which shall teach and develop tht
newer sciences which are tabood by th'
old orthodox universities has long beer
telt among liberal and progressive men
The paralyzing hand of the Orthodox
element in religion is now upon tn
throat Of nearly every institution o
learning. America is forming nev
government, 4 new religion and 4 nev
literature, and must have new Uni
yersities adapted to a New World.
We are pleased to see that Prof
Hu.niston is engaged in the good worl
and that he las not abandoned th
cause of progress.
