DR.. Strousberg. the famous speculator and
former railroad king who has just died at
Berlin, had a career some like that of Mr..
Willard, who, it will be remembered, was a
journalist before he became railroad king.
Mr.. Strousberg in his thirteenth year went to
London. where he entered his uncle's busi-
ness, devoting his leisure hours to the study
of political economy. He became a contribu-
tor to various journals, and established the
Merchants Magazine, acquiring also ShArpe's
London Magazine, literary monthly which
proved very successful under his manage
ment He transferred the publication of
these journals to Germany, in order to lessen
expenses, but the removal proved unsuccess-
full, and he was obliged to sell both periodi-
cals.s He then went into the life insur
ancs business, and made some money.
Several English capitalists enlisted his SER
vices in projected railroad between Tilsit
aud Insterburg, which was the first of his
famous railroad enterprises. He built for
the same English company the Southern
railroad of East Prussia, and then projected
and built on his own account several other
German railroads, as well as the Hungarian
Northeastern and the RumRnian railroads,
together 1900 miles in length. At the
height of his financial success he was elected
by the Conservatives to the Reichstag, a
member of which he was until 1870. The
failure of his Rnmanian enterprises led to
the collapse of all his gigantic speculations
he was declared bankrupt in Prussia, Aus
tria and Russia, and was finally imprisoned
in Moscow. While in his prison he wrote
his autobiography-his ''4indication," as he
confidently believed. He attributed his ruin
chiefly to the attacks made on him by DIR.
Lasker In the Prussian Diet. After his fail
ure he returned to journalism, vainly En-
deavoring to retrieve his fortunes by estab-
fishing in Berlin the Kleines Journal an
imitation of the Paris Petit Journal. OF the
vastness of Strousberg's terprises-which,
in addition to his railroads. embraced fac
tories, mines market halls, etc.-his prin-
cipal estate, Zbirow in Bohemia, will give an
idea. It embraced sixty thousand acres, and
included about four hundred buildings. Its

enter my protest against the action of the

And would like to ask, what right havs the
Corporation after having entered into con-
tract to give degree, if certain conditions
are complied with, to break that contract by
not allowing the candidate to fulfill those
conditions? They have practically done
this by refusing any appropriation to the
Medical department.. AID this not because
of any marked decrease of numbers or be-
cause they doubt the ability of the faculty to
give the required instruction, but because
they can't make it pay in money point of

partmert of the college where the fees OF the
students equal the expenditures?
1t remains for the graduates to say whether
they would see the college managed on such
principles or upon the broader and more
liberal ideas on which it was founded and on
which it has grown. 1t remains for them to

An Erroneous Opinion About Wall
Street.

1t is believed all over the world that
q stock market is safe to deal in only
when it is in the hands of strong men.
But the belief is evidently an erroneous
one, at least so far as this country is
concerned. There csa be Nc question
that the market is at present in very
strong hands, but it is also beyond all
doubt that it is not safe. All the small
holders of stocks as well as the small
spectators were shaken out long ago.
They have disappeared from Wall
Street, and the stocks they used to hold
have accumulated in the banks and in
the hands of big capitalists and monop-
olistS. Yet all the efforts of these men
and institutions seem TO be unable to
sustain prices; and as there is limit to
everything, there will also be limit to
these efforts. Already several rich
men have been so badly hurt that they
are giving up the struggle. The i'm
mense sale of securities like the West
Shore bonds, the Pullman Palace, the
Ontario and Western, and North River
construction stocks clearly demonstra-
ted last week that number of wealthy
men, having suffered By the tumble in
Willard stocks, have had to throw over
board big lots of other securities. The
Vox Populi of Wall Street is not al
ways Vox Del; but taking it for what it
is worth. it would appear that all the
stocks sacrificed last week came out of
the boxes of very strong men. Mr.. G.
Pullman, Gen. Winslow, and Gen. Pal
mer were prominent among those men,
toned as having given up the struggle.
The Mills party has sacrificed large
amount of Erie stock and bonds. All
these gentlemen were heavily inter-
ested in the Willard properties. The
ravages of the last two years in the
ranks of the humble outsiders could
not be stopped there. They had to
be spread further and further, and
there would be nothing surprising in it
if they should be found to reach not
only strong men but strong institutions,
too. Nothing will stop the career of
this liquidation, except thorough re-
form of corporation law and a thor
ough publication of the management
of corporate institutions. -Nes0 York
