WHO IS ROSSAq

Although O'Donovan Rosa has a world
wide reputation, yet there are many people
who know little or nothing about him. He
has been something OF public character for
more than twenty five years. Previously to
launching on what We might call 8 public
career he kept store in Ireland at little
place called Skibberdeen. His proper name
was originally jeremiah O'Donovan, bat
there were so many O'Donovans that he
took the name Of Rosa from his birthplace,
RossacaIbery. Rosa was az early convert
to Fenianism, having been sworn in the
brotherhood in 1853. He put his heart into
the work, recruited a regiment, some hun.
dred strong, in and about Skibbereen, and
formed q literary association, which be
called the Phenix Club, in compliment OF
O'Mshony, whose branch of the conspiracy
was known as the Ph0nix Association.
Nearly thirty years ago, or about 1858, he
and Tome OF his companions were arrested
for conspiracy, tried and convicted.
Rosa. after bis release, started a
weekly newspaper in London and
called it Tine Irish People" This paper
soon grew obnoxious TO the English people
and authorities. and Rosa with others were
arrested. At his trial he was particularly
bold and sudacious, aud the verdict against
him carried with it life penal servitude. He
managed TO be released in 1871, but came
from his punishment an altered man.
When released in 1871 he was an altered
man. he seemed to have lost altogether bis
rough bat hearty kindliness, though his de-
votion to the cause of Ireland was no less
ARDEN. 1t was natural. therefore. that when
he came to America he should be made the
leader in q strong party Of American Feni-
ans, and that they should exceed all other

BI ooMrNaroN AND THE UNIVERSITY

We print, by request communication
which challenges the policy of further nour-
ishing the State University at Bloomington.
A sketch from Rob Roy" in the Sentinel
of the 10Th briefly referred to certain crit
cisms that are current against Bloomington
as a site for the State College. A citizen of
Bloomington replied to these critics through
our columns on Saturday. We call atten-
ton to the controversy to say that if the OBJ
jections urged by this communication de-
serve consideration, now is the time for
their discussion by the Legislature.
Eighteen months ago the best part of the
college buildings were destroyed by fire.
The Board of Trustees with $1,000 of the
State funds and $50 600 contributed by Mon
roe County purchased other land, and have
had erected two buildings thereon. The
State is now asked to appropriate $50, coo
more to complete and equip the buildings.
1t is understood, however, that larger sum
stiu will be called for at another session OF
the General Assembly for erecting a third
building still larger. With these lights be.
fore the Legislature, wisdom would appear to
suggest this as the time to determine whether
the future will be satisfied with Bloomington
as the university site. Our representatives
are leeisIsting in this matter TOR the entire
State and for coming generations OF stu
dents. Any blasting sentiment aud any
favoritism for Bloomington might work iu-
justice to other sections of the Sta.e. In
short if this question is to be considered at
all, it should be as if we were o1 to locate
and construct rather than to rebuild a
university. Would Bloomington now be
the preferred site for the State University
had ii never been there? Is it sufi GENTLY
central and convenient OF access by all
parts of the State? Will an investment OF
$4,000 or 100000 there serve the entire
State as we'll as at another localityP Those
are questions which if answered in the
affirmative entitle Bloomington to favor.
But il the answers are in the negative,
there is pith in the objection the critics are
offering against BloomiD gton.

FOR BOARDS OF FINANCE.

The bill introduced yesterday by Senator
Blown, for establishing State and County
Boards OF Finance, c0mmends itself to the
tax payers of Indiana. We give the full
text of the bill in another column, AID in
vite perusal Of 1t. The measure proposed by
it is one of the needs of the hour, and there
should be no time lost in making il law.
Under its operation as q statute State and
County Treasurers and their bondsmen will
be saved much risk, and the tax payers, per
haps, occasional losses. With il enforced
there will be no applications from officers
for relief, as are now numerously
filed before the General Assembly. The
States money will be continued in circula-
ton without hazard, and the interest paid
by banks on the deposit will enable the State
and counties to pay their Treasures ample
salaries
Within the limitations of safety from loss
it is for the interest OF the State that its
money be in circulation rather than locked
In idleness IN vaults. So with county funds.
But there has been continuous public anxi-
ETY., and sometimes loss, where Treaqurers
were making individual loans or engaing in
speculations with the public funds. But the
Boards Of Finance proposed, since they can
derive no Pecunisry benefit from
the transaction. may be relied
on to select responsible depos-
itories and to exact ample security against
loss even should the banks fail.
When the bill comes from the Finance
Committee, to which it was referred, it will
probably be strengthened in detail in one or
two points. For instance, the prompt de-
posting of collections made by the Treas
urers can be specified aud made mandatory.
But as it now reads it is an excellent bill,
and Senator Brown is in line for doing the
public inestimable service.

On this point all who have watched his
course since he was elected Governor are
perfectly agreed. His manner in CONVEX
sation confirms the statement made by
Others. that he is very slow in making up
his own mind and never speaks OF his ia
tentions until his mind is July made up and
ne las made sure that nothing will inter

The Campbell D,sbarment Cass

CINCINNATI, o., Feb. 3.-The District Court.
in an opinion requiring nearly three hours
to deliver, has announced Judgment in the
proceedings brought by committee of the
Bar Association, for the purpose of disdar-
ing T. G. Campbell. The result is, the Court
finds him guilty OF one of the seven charges
made against him, that of acting as attorney
for the defense in an embezzlement case at
the same time he was the Prosecuting Attor-
ney of the Police Conrt, where the embezzle.
ment case was on trial The Court found
this TO be unprofessional conduct, not
amounting to moral turpitude. In view of
the lapse of time since the offense, and of
his youth at the time, the Court fixed the
punishment at suspension from practice for
ten days and the payment of costs of this
case. AS to all other charges, the Court
unanimously found him not guilty. except
that Judge Maxwell dissented as TO the fad
ing concerning the charge that he made a
note in the Pfeiffer case, to be used in testi-
mony where false testimony had been offered
and a note was required to support it.
The case has attracted much attention
among members of the bar. Among the
chs rges we're some alleged misconduct in the
formation of the Berger jury, the case out OF
VIII ch arose the riot last year.
