Philosophy was opened this morning by
the Rev. DR.. Paddock, rector OF st. An

Philadelphia. Professor Noah X. Davis, Of
the University OF Virginia, lectured upon
the subject " Am Free 2" He said L was
an old subjective problem OF the ages
and ii yet remained unanswered. What am
/. II not free? Comte names freedom of
the will "a the end OF all philosophy. Spen-
Ger says il there be freedom there can be

Is not change or event, and. therefore,

strains. Freedom Is real. II freedom is
real, choice Is free. Hence, choice Is real

5aIlurc' What national policy does
senator Hoar propose TO base on these
outraresy Has any step been ADVISED
by Republican Presidcntsg None. except
the peaceful policy OF aid n national ed,i-
cation. Docs Mr.. Hoar himself propose
aovY None whatever. but he tells us that
a Republican majority In both branches OF
Congress will lind remedy" Congress
has been Republican in bota branches re-
ptatcdIy in the past twelve years and was
so only eighteen months ago, but never ms
taken apy measures to.extirpate these evils,
Knowing full well that II Is impossible to
legislate against evils OF this character With
cut agerayatIng them.
But Mr., Hoar says we can at least refuse
10 vote on the same side with the murderer
Of Matthews. "You can at least refuse to
join the mob.v But what II there are mo6s
ON both sides? Is this rea-
sopable ground OF appeal 10 intelligent c'u-
zers OF this great republic, living IN pro-
found peace with Itself and with oil the
world : Tue Senator magnides the fanatieal
act Of one petty hot-bed OF ignorance, ana
prejudice; and malignlty into greater iln-
portancc than the assassination OF President
Garfield, and grayely asks bis constituents
20 hold nlooi from the political party which
prevails in that section Of the country. III
would b. just as sensible TO attempt 10
identity Republicanism with Guiteau.
But Mr.. H0ar claims that the colored
vote Is suppressed, or miscounted. what
ever be The truth In regard to that matter.
the Senator knows full well That the remedy
for II is not IN campaigns, but in popular
education and the elevation oil the whites
and blacks. The example OF Virginia does
not encourage the convection that any less
radical policy will improve the political
status OF the black race. No one knows
better than Mr.. Hoar the highly illusory
character OF The benefits derived by the
black race from the perpetuation OF the Re-
publican party in power.
What adds the greatest strength to the
RepuJ{icoa'S position is point it has en-
lirely overlooked. While 1t is true that no
Republican President has used constitu-
tional powers for the suppression OF these
outrages," II Is equally true that some OF
them have used unconstitutional powers
ostensibly for that purpose, but really for
the purpose Of provoking outrages. For
years the whole machinery OF the Fede-
raj Government has been employed to
stir up ill-fceling between the two races in
the South. For years the emissaries OF the
Government and of Senator HOAR's party
have been Systematically engaged in ex-
aggerating the evils The Senator COM
plains of in order to fire the northern heart
and perpetuate fraud, corruption, and CEN
