Purdue UNIVERSITY and President white.

Lafayette Courier.
Purdue University is in a critical condi-
ton. The failure of the general appropria-
ton bill leaves it, as stated in the Courier
yesterday, without adollar save the per diem
and salaries of the trustees. secretary and
treasurer provided by law. President White,
whose resignation was rendered in good
faith, will not leave Purdue under the
shadow of his financial difficulty. The fault
OF the Objectionable rider which died a mis-
cradle death with the appropriation bill to
which it was attached, relieves him of all
embarrassment on that score. He is warmly
devoted to the interests of that institution,
and relies confidently Upon the generous CO.
operation of our leading capitalists in tiding
the institution over by a temporary loan.

BASEBALL.
Proceedings of the Northwestern Base, Ball
League.

Toledo Special.
The Northwestern Baseball League closed
league decided on a Geographic acceptance
of the terms to be made binding as a con-
tract sum TO be paid visiting clubs on holi-
days. 1t was changed from 8. to As per
cent. The Peoria club brought up the Sun.
day question again and tried to expunge the
word Sunday from the constitution. 1t was
defeated. The league printing was
awarded to the Toledo Bee. President Mat
tiers presented the report ON the confer
ence to be held in New York. The
report was accepted, filed, and his action
ratified. indianapolis was admitted as a
League Alliance club. The annual dues
were increased from $50 to $75. Mr.. Strout,
of Peoria. introduced a resolution forbidding
colored players from being employed. This
was aimed at Walker, of the Toledo nine.
The resolution was tabled at the afternoon
session. 1t was withdrawn in the evening,
and it was ordered that all reference to the
matter be taken from the minutes. After
protracted discussion, the schedule, as for
warded to the Herald, was finally adopted,
with but one or two minor changes. The
playing rules of the National League for the
present year were adopted, except that re-
lating TO umpires. The old plan OF a staff of
twenty-four umpires was retained. The
league then adjourned to meet in annual
meeting at Grand Rapids, Mich, in January
next.
To show that professional baseball play
ing is growing, it is only necessary to say
226 players are engaged with the League,
American and Northwestern Association
Clubs, and three of the Northwestern Asso-
citation teams not yet filled. The salary list
OF these three leagues will foot about $780,
900. Beside this, there are two or three other
leagues in the Fast, employing some 100
or 120 players. The salaries paid there
are small, but will total another $50, 900.
The umpires to the three chief associations
will cost some SO, 900 or ST., 900.

Why the Appropriations Were Defeated

Because the Governor put his veto upon
the Infamous bill 1.-THE police bill, the two
houses refused to pass the general appropria-

State was to be clogged for the want of
money to defray the ordinary expenses of
government. We hope never again to see
such a drunken, rotten, corrupt, revolution
airy and tyrannical Legislature assembled in

THE ACQUITTAL OF DUKES
Renewal of the Excitement in Union
town Concerning the Verdict.
The Citizens Pass Resolutions Denouncing
Dukes and the Jurors-The Scene
When the Verdict Was Brought In.

UN1oNrowN, Pa, March 15.-The excite
ment to-day over the acquittal OF Dukes is as
intense as ever, but it is not manifested by
such demonstrations as were made last night.
The Jurors, when they made their appear
ance ON the streets this morning, were pub
lic'y Kissed and hooted at from every corner.
Thu populace yelled, as each juror appeared,
"Tar and feather himl' "Hit him with a
brick" Ride him on a rail-" and other
terms expressive of indignation and coz
tempt. The jurors left town as soon as they
could. Dukes has gone to the home of his
mother, in German township.
Dukes's acquittal is the all-absorbing topic
of conversation to-day, and great indignation
is expressed on all sides. People are coming
in from all parts OF the county to see if it
were actually true that the jury had rendered
a verdict rs reported. Dukes has not been
seen since the verdict was announced. A Pc
tition, signed by most of the lawyers of both
political parties, will be presented to the
court at 2 o'clock, praying that Dukes's name
be stricken from the bar.

dispatches were read from various parts of
the State expressing sympathy with the
object of the meeting and denouncing
Dukes and the jury. The meeting
adopted resolutions of the strongest
character, condemning the jurors and APP
proving the impartiality of Judge Wilson.
1t then adjourned with three groans for
Dukes and the jury.

Utterly Unworthy Public Confidence.

No candid Democrat will deny that the
party in Indiana, during the late session of
the Legislature, has shown itself utterly I'M
worthy public confidence in the management
of public affairs. 1t has not done a single
act which it can present to the people of the
State for approval, or to which it can appeal
as a reason for its continuance in power, 1t
has been partisan but in the lowest sense,
and in a manner TO disgust even the more
conscientious of its members.

stand in the way of it becoming a law. Of
course, had he been arbitrary like the Demo-
Gratis ne could have held the bill and pre-
vented its passage, but he is too honest a man
to stoop to tricks of that kind.
