TIE SENTIMENT or TIE COZ

ALUMNI
The action of the alumni OF Cornell Univer-
sity at Ithaca on Wednesday demonstrates
that the recent charges made by an alumnus
trustee OF that institution against President
White and his administration are not sustained
by the general sentiment of those most inter-
ested and best able to judge of their truth.
The Alumni Association not only elected rs
trustee the man who bad stood by the president
as one of his warmest friends, but passed reso-
lutions which expressed full confidence inPresi-
dent White and denounced rs wrong and I'M
true" all statements that the university is retro
grading.
James F. Gluck, who was elected trustee
is a prominent young lawyer of Buffalo
He Is identified with some of the most inteli-
gent efforts that have been making to secure
the hest instructors that can be obtained for
the Cornell Faculty and to increase the salaries
of the professors as last as the rapidly increas
ing revenues of the institution Will permit.
With this purpose President White expresses
himself as in full sympathy. He and the
Board of Trustees now have the assurance Oh
the hearty cooperation OF the body OF the
alumni in their work. The great revenues that
Cornell University has reason to expect in the
future will give it an opportunity for broad
educational WORK.

Judge Hoadly has carried off the Democratic
nomination for Governor of Ohio. In thus Sc
lecting as their leader the man who is best
known as the advocate and defender of unre-
stricted whiskey, the Democrats placed them
selves squarely on the side of the anti-temper-
ance interests, Notwithstanding their attempts
to hedge later when it came to the formal
declaration of their principles. The platform
starts out with a tremendous straddle on the
tariff question. In regard to the other leading
issue of the canvass, the liquor question, the
party is declared to be opposed to all sumptu-
AIRY legislation, but in favor of a license sys-
tenn.

Details Of the voyage of the astronomical par
ty from the United States TO Caroline Island in
the Pacific Ocean, and their observations there
of the solar eclipse on May 6, will be found on
another page of this paper. In every way the
expedition was successful. Indeed, exceptional
good luck attended it; for while May was an
unpleasant day as a whole, the clouds parted
when the eclipse became total and did not cover
the sun again until the total phase had passed.
1t is yet too early to expect detailed reports
from the observers; bat no intra- Mercurial
planets were discovered, and the spectroscopic
observations were particularly successful.
The general result of the expedition fully
repays the National Academy Of Sciences foI
its efforts to get it started.

AS the new Board of Trustees of the Brooklyn
Bridge is composed of the same men as the old
one, there was no sign of change of policy in
the management of the structure at the Trus-
tees meeting yesterday. The receipts from the
Bridge traffic since May "a show a steady de-
cline from the beginning. During the first seven
days $4,000 was taken in, and for six days of
the week ending yesterday little over SO, 600.
This makes the average for twenty. seven days
$S49 81. The expenses of running the Bridge
and the interest on the bonds amount to about
100000 annually, OF over $4,000 day. 1t

ottawa Special.
The scene in the Court of Assizes to-day
at the conclusion of the trial of Morgan, for
the murder of Maroney, in Toronto, in August
last, was one of the most extraordinary that
ever occurred in a Canadian court. The
Jury were out about an hour, and returned
with a verdict of murder, with a recommen-
dation to mercy. Judge Gait said: Gentle
men, / cannot accept that verdict; you had
better retire and reconsider it,"
Queens counsel-But, my Lord, / move
Judge-Mr. Britton, stop. You have moth
ing more to do with the case. I'll take the
responsibility of what I'm doing.
Queens counsel-But / submit there is
evidence which warrants the finding of the
jury.
Judge-No such thing. Gentlemen, you
had better retire again.
For two minutes not a Juror moved. each
man sitting rigid on his seat with eyes cast
down. The prisoner, who had examined
each Juror as he entered the court, gave a
slight start as he heard the verdict. A look
of surprise stole over his face, which actually
changed to a broad and humorous grin when
his Lordship declined to receive the verdict.
Seeing that the jury made no movement to
leave, the Judge remarked that if they were
determined 10 stick TO their verdict he would
not pass sentence of death, at least until he
had consulted his brother judges. AT this
a Juror arose and said that a doubt existed
in the minds OF some of them as to the evil
dence having shown the existence of malice,
| upon which Judge Gait said that was the
| whole crime, and insisted on their retiring
again. They had been out only a few min
utss when the judge sent for them and re-
charged them, and half an hour after they
returned with a verdict of manslaughter. In
his charge the judge explained the great dis
cretion he had in sentencing a prisoner for
manslaughter, saying that he could give the
prisoner anything from the fine of a shilling
to imprisonment for life.
After the last verdict had been returned a
prominent LAWYER remarked: My Lord, you
bad better complete the farce and fine the
prisoner hat shilling" The prisoner was
sentenced to FIVE years in the penitentiary.

The State University.

BLOOMINGTON, Oct. 27.-Prof. J. A. Wood
burn has received a letter from Hon. John
w. Foster, minister to Spain, in which he
say of the State university:
80 long as it remains a State institution.
the university is entitled to such support
from the Legislature as will enable it to fail
fill its true mission, and this duty was fully
recognized in the co~mmendable action of
that body at its last session, Certainly no
SUCH event as the recent fire should induce a
subsequent Legislature to reverse the policy
adopted last winter which reflected SO much
honor Hpon the State. l know SO we'll from
present location and the attachment of
the alumni to the good people of
Bloomington, that l would be very sorry to
see the University removed to any other
place. This ought never to occur unless the
citizens and authorities of Monroe county
should fail to manifest a proper interest in
its retention AS to local consolidation or
union with the State institutions now at
Terre Haute and Lafayette, l doubt, in the
first place, whether it is legally practicable,
and, in the second place, even if practical
bic, whether it would prove beneficial. 1t
occurs to me that the wisest course to pur-
sue would be to place the three institutions,
in their present Locations, under the control
of one board of regents or trustees, and thus
secur systematic cooperation and a proper
division or limitation OF the institution, avoid
jealousies and rivalry, and present to sue
cessive Legislatures the just and equitable
claims and needs OF each institution in such
a way as would insure favorable action"

INCENDIARISM IN INDIANA.
The Abnormal Prevalence of This Crime in
Our State.
Insurance Chronicle.

Our State.
Insurance Chronicle.
Students of fires and their causes in the
different States and Territories must have
noticed the remarkable frequency with
which incendiary fires happen in the State
of Indiana. The normal incendiary rate for
the entire country is about 20 per cent, or
at most % per cent. In Indiana it is not
unusual to find 65 per cent. of all fires
attributed to this single cause. Within the
past year there have been repeated instances
in which the per cent. of incendlarism has
crept up to this extraordinary figure, and
to find one-half of all the fires in Indiana
of criminal origin is quite a common mat
ter.
Statistics long ago proved the claim, often
put forth by a certain class of fire under
writers, that one-half or two-thirds of
all fires are caused by design, to be un-
trustworthy. As stated in the preceding
paragraph, the average incendiary rate is
about 20 per cent, or % per cent. This
being true, why should incendiary fires
happen in Indiana twice or three times as fire.
ouently as in other States? The fact that
they have so happened during the past
twelve months may be merely an accident
or it may be the result of a fixed cause. As
the last supposition is the more plausible,
the next question naturally is, what is the
cause?
The abnormal prevalence of crime in spe-
Cldl LOCALITIES is GENERALLY attributed 10 Jne
ignorance, impoverlshment or inferior NOR
ais of the people OF that particular section,
or to poorly executed avs. But Indiana's
population is not specially ignorant, nor inn
poverished, nor notably inferior in morals.
There is less illiteracy in Indiana than in
Massachusetts, the farmers and tradesmen of
the State are fairly prosperous, and official
figures indicate that the moral tone of the Hoo
sier State is fully as good as that of its neigh
bors. There does not appear to be any phe-
nomenal laxity in the manner in which the
laws of the State are enforced, neither are
any of those causes dominant which Mr..
Dargan makes responsible for the frequency
of incendiarism in some portions OF the
South.
Nevertheless, the fact will DE patent to any
person who may take the trouble to investi-
gate the subject that the fire returns from
the State at large show the steady prevalence
of an exceedingly high rate of incendiarism.
Why this is SO is an interesting problem for
somebody to solve.

The signs that Butler is to be defeated at
the polls in the coming election are every
where evident in this State Any one of a
number of influences that are at work
against him ought to be sufficient to defeat
him. Yet it would not be safe to predict the
size of the majority for Robinson, and it is
not likely to be large. Buffers election was
made possible last year by the absence of a
great many Republicans from the polls.
These men will be out, with their ballots
ready, this year. L should say that not less
than 10, 900 of these stay-at-homes are to be
counted for Robinson on election day. Next
we have the very pronounced movement
which has, until this week, been very
quiet, among the Democratic leaders. The
feeling against Butler in this quarter is al
most as strong this year as it was in 1879,
when Butler first ran as the Democratic can
didate. These leaders do not want Butler
elected, and they do not intend that he shall
be. He feels bitterly about their opposition.
But he cannot help himself.
The campaign which the old man is max
ing is as vigorous as any that he has ever
made, and as interesting, but positively
there is not one word OF all his harrangues
that possesses the slightest national interest.
The newspapers solemnly pick up his
statements and misstatements and show him
up again and again. This does not affect
him at all, nor does it diminish the size OF
his audiences. The people know that they
will have a good entertainment when Butler
comes to town to deliver an address, and
they flock to hear him.. His opponent, Mr..
Robinson, is making a very favorable inn
preston, and the people seem surprised to
find him such an able speaker.
General Butler unauestionaoly has his eye
on the presidency. and his defeat this yeas
will be sad blow to him. ! shall not be
surprised if he breaks up physically after
the contest is over. Physicians who have
watched him think he may go to pieces, like
the "one-horse shay" at any time.

While the Post gossiper was nosing about

chief OF division in the Adjutant-general's
Office, which struck him as being especially
weil-timed. 1t appears that the official had
been reading the published telegram from
Springfield, ILL.,, announcing the completion
of the Lincoln monument there. Here's
patriotism for you said the official to a
friend. These people have finished their
monument, and have a surplus on hand of
SIS, 5000 with which to keep it in repair and
open for visitors. They now think that to
charge admission, by which a sufficient
revenue might be raised to meet all require
ments, is too degrading, and have decided to
request Secretary Lincoln to donate a part of
the legacy left him by his mother, for the
purpose stated. 1t would bel graceful thing
if the Secretary did so, but it looks ridiculous
for a community to erect a monument to a
beloved President of the United States and
then to call on his family to take care of it.

ANDERSON, Oct. 29.-News reached this
city to-day that a shooting ARRAY had occur
red at Elwood, a village on the Panhandle
railroad, in this county, on Saturday night.
James Kemp, u deputy marshal of ElWood,
was in James Blacks saloon, and offered to
treat a friend. Black had been notified not
to sell liquor to the latter, and refused to
give him the drinks. Kemp and his friend
then became obstreperous, and were putout-
side, where they commenced breaking the
windows. Several shots were fired from the
inside, one striking Kemp in the abdomen.
1t is not known positively who fired the
fatal shot, but Black is known to have fired
at least once. Thus far no arrests have been
made. Kemp's recovery is doubtful.
