The New York Times, which believes in the
anti-Edmunds Interpretation of the Constitu-
the Senate to count the electoral votes. saws
that the doctrine 'lacks the important element
of recognition" and should, therefore, be
abandoned. That may be the Times's view of
the matter, but it can certainly do no harm
for men who conscientiously believe in it to
say so. They are not attempting to interfere
with the public business they are entitled to
their opinion, and to the opportunity to make
their argument That is all they claim.

that they are actuated more largely by

THERE seems to be a sort of agreement
among the English papers to depreciate the
management and condition Of the army, as
well as the policy of the Ministry in the use
of it. Some of this disposition is doubtless
attributable to the unfortunate result of Cor
don's experiment and of the expedition to re-
ieve him, but large part of it is a chronic
dissatisfaction with the aristocratic monopoly
of army control By sort of prescriptive
right the army has been for generations the
refuge of the younger sons of the nobility,
and the appendages of great families who had
not force enough to take care of themselves
and too much responsibility to be dropped
into trades. Rich plebeians, to be sure, some
times could get good positions by purchase
and sometimes by great services. But the
control has always been in the hands of the
nobility, even when an occasional commoner
was commander -in-chief. The improvement
made by the abolition of purchase has not
improved the subsection of the army to the

1t takes a war and disaster always to wake

parently fit for any amount Of hard work Some
little time after the arrival of the three steamers
with the half battalion, another steamer came
down the stream towing barge laden with pro-
visions. Thereat our men gave another round
of cheers, and all appeared to regard their troub-
les now as ended. After the arrival of the
Egyptians ard our reconnaissance of Metemneh,
it was deemed advisable to shift the camp se-
lected on the bank of the river last night to q
site in more secure and advantageous position.
The thing made clear by to-day's reconnois-
sance is that it will need quite double the men
we now have to insure the capture of Metemneh
without severe loss to our own force Z. 1t is
certain that Metemneh is garrisoned by the
Mahdi's most trusted troops.
An offer of terms was made to this emir by the
British commander, through a prisoner whom
we captured two days since; but UP to tonight
he has vouchsafed no reply.
While we were still fighting around Metemneh
to-day. Admiral Khasmel Nus, who is in charge
OF Gordons little fotilla, landed from one of the
steamers and proceeded in all haste to the staff.

"No civil-service system that ever was, or

it is this principle on which all parties, at all

1.-THE civil service admits of many reforms,

TRUSTEE MITCHELL, of the State Univer-
sity, hit the nail on the head when he stated
to a Journal reporter that ''the trustees can
do little or no good in repairing the losses sus-
tanned by the fire with less than $50, O00," and
that ''the sole effect of reducing the amount
is to kill the institution by simply strangling
1T to DEATH"
The State University can not hope to hold
its students without library, laboratories and
museum Senator Faulkner's statement, that
the Legislature should give the amount asked
for the same reason that it appropriates money
to complete the insane asylums, is to the
point. By Withholding the paltry sum asked
by the trustees, the Legislature breaks faith
with the students, with the board, and with
the people of Monroe county, who have raised
$50, 900 to cover the loss on buildings.
The national museum has contributed val
liable collections to make good the
loss in the museum; 80, also, have

private individuals. There are now

birds and mammals awaiting the new museum
Why should the State of Indiana depend on

sixth in wealth and twentieth in the aid given
to higher education. The conflict of parties,
sects and classes may rage for the present, but
the time will come in the history of Indiana
when for no purposes of jealousy and partisans

In the case of Representative Gordon, of Put
man, we know that some Of the prominent
friends of DePauw have felt it necessary to
say, point blank, that in his bitter and par
tisan opposition to the State University he
does not represent them in any degree. AS a
rule, the best friends of the State University
will be found to be those who are intelligent
friends of DePauw, and of Wabash, and
Valparaiso College, and of all the rest. The
men who are devoted to the best interests of
these institutions are the friends of education,
and know that the State University does not,
and cannot come into any sort of conflict with
them; but that their prosperity is intimately
bound up in the general educational advance
ment of the State. There could be no severer
blow dealt at all the private institutions of
higher learning than for the State to take the
back track in educational progress. The OPP

other Of the States educational institutions,

ers who are disciples of Emerson is said to have
