The proposition of Washington c. De
PAW, of New Albany, to give SAC, 900 to
Asbury University, ut Greencastle, Ind,
i'm return for $3.50, 900 additional endow-
ment and the change of name to De Pauw
University, has at last been accepted, and
the millionaire glass Manufacturers name
will now supcrsede that of tho early Meth
odist divine and bishop. Mr.. DE PAW
has also, with the consent of his wife and
children, signed an agreement to give the
institution forty-five per cent. of the re-
maindcr of his estate at his death. 1t is
estimated that the endowment will aggre-
gate about million and a-half of dollars.
In late address before the Boston Me-
chanic's Society, Mr.. Wendell Philips, the
noted orator, is reported to have said ::
The handwriting is SO plain OH TIE wall
that none but a fool need mistake it. New
England is doomed just as sure as natural
laws will produce fixed results. New Eng
land has no soil worth mentioning, and
her wealth has been all derived from her
manufactures. These are leaving her,
and eventually they will all go-some to
the West, but most TO the South, where
the advantages for profitable manufacture
ing are all located. The coal and iron in
the South arc easily gotten at and mex
haustiblc in amount, and the iron mills
foundries and machine shops can go TO
them better than they can be carried to
the shops. Then the cotton and wooden
mills must 20 there, for the raw materials
are, aud are TO be produced, there most
cheaply, uniformly and better. Then look
sc the advantage of the extra hours of
daylight in years run. This, ofitself is
10 small matter. As the South grows
stronger, the wealth. culture and power
Of the country will be centered there, un-
Ill she will become, not alone the mistress
of America, Tut the central empire OF the
world"

TIE question that seems to give the
greatest concern to politicians of high and
low degree in Washington is, what shall
be done with the surplus money in the
United States Treasury. Chandler wants
To build navy with it, Blaine and Logan
want to divide it among the States for
educational purposes, while others would
spend it in improving rivers and ha:bors
and erecting public buildings. In all
probability the money will be squandered
in some way or other before very long.

A WASHINGTON correspondent has this
to say of our young Senator kenna: The
Honorable John +. Kenna, one of the new
United States Senators, is towering far
above older heads along side of him in
ability and power. He is typical repre-
sentative of the young Democracy Of to-
dav, able, ambitious and a statesman of
high degree; original in thought, power
full in his expressions and of powerful
magnetism. And withal hsiS unconscious
of the manner of man he is. He is des-
tined 10 take front rank with the leading
men of this country.

Commencement Notes.

1t was grand-it was huge-it
was big all over.
Now let there be a move for a
consolidated City Hall Company"
We can conceive of but one way
to accommodate all the people that
want to attend our High School
commandments. Let the gradu-
ates use Fort Foreman as stage,
and let the people use the streets
and back yards of the city for an
audience room; and if they are
crowded still, let Polecat Hill be
used as an Annex. We must
have room for all to see and hear.
And now, who Of our city will
rise up and say he is not proud of
our public schools?
That fellow that "chirruped" in
the gallery, was literally scarified,
excoriated and UiUisected by those
three dynamite sentences of red
00' V"o-euS0't ElSlloH llolh w.
Purinton. He'll never "ch5ggNp"
again.
How would it do to repeat Com
mencement and give it a run OF a
hundred nights? There's millions
in it.
Orator Gould told the audience
some plain blunt truths about hon
est hard work, in an original, vlg-
orous way that was highly refresh
ing.
Mr.. F. Gordon Lang's opinion OF
Mormondom was expressed IN no
doubtful terms. If the Govern
ment would follow his advice the

nasty business would soon be set

That Mr.. George c. Loomis is ar
out-and-out native West Vireiniar
Of the veritable Montani-SemDer
Liber' persuasion, most fully an
peared from his speech.
The gallery of the Academy O.
Music may be safe with 400 people
"sardined" into it, but the public
and all who might be affected by !
crash and calamity, would feel
much more comfortable on such oc.
caslons as Monday night, were
there several more iron posts under
it.
The S. reward offered by Prof.
Purinton will never identify the
chap that 'yeeped" in the gallery.
He can well afford to pay $1,000
never to be heard of again.
Miss Leese thought the whole
commencement was coming
through into her Notion Store.
When shall we Sixteen" meet

THAT RooUET.-From the best
information we can acquire, we are
led to the opinion that that huge
boquet of the evening-that royal
tribute of native growths construc-
ted of horse-radish leaves and
Buckeye blossoms, was engineered
by Mr.. Ed. Wells, and that Mr..
Straus was the objective point Of
the affectionate enterprise. Tho
the immense token was by mistake,
moored in front of George c. Loomis.
yet he tackled it with admirable
grace and passed it on with becom-
ing dignity,

Fitzgerald, of the PRESBYTERIAN
church, Clarksburg, was introduced
and 10 an interesting address gave
some good advice to the temperance
workers. The instruction of the
young was one of the points dis
cussed. Bro. Fitzgerald assured the
people that when Prohibition shall
have been written in the Constitu-
ton as one of the organic laws of
the State, and when the immense
building known as the State Prison
was no longer needed for the con-
hnement of the victims of the whis-
ky traffic, the members of this Con-
vention would return and aid in
tearing it down. President Thomson
made some felicitous remarks, after
which the choir sang Where are
