Since the Board of Regents of Cor
wallis College signified their desire to
do so and rendered the State Agri
cultural College back to the State, a
bill has been introduced in the legis-
lature and passed, locating the State
Agricultural College at Corvallis, Ore
gon, permanently upon the condition
that the people will subscribe sufficient
funds with which to build good SUBJ
stantial brick building on the Agricul-
tural College farm adjoining Corvalli' !,
on or before Jan. 1st, 1887. The bill
provides that nine of the Board of
Regents to govern the school shall
be appointed by the governor and that
the governor, secretary Of state, and
superintendent of public instruction
and master of the state grange shall
be ex-officio members of the Board of
Regents. On this plan the State Agri-
cultural College will be put on pure
ly state basis under pure state gov
ernment and without the control of
any special church or sectarian in
fuence. The only thing row remain
ing to permanently retain the school
on the above basis is to subscribe

Mr.. Cable, novelist and social sre-
former, who is catching it hot and
heavy from the''southern press because
of his recent article on the condition
of the freedmen, thus hopefully ends a
talk to Chicago interviewer: "Ameri-
can progress has always outrun an
ticipation. Who could have supposed
a few years ago that Beecher, the
abolitionist, would have been offered
$4,000 for lecture in New Orleans 2
Garrison, Sumpter, Greeley, all were
surprised to see in their lifetime the
ful6llment of their anticipations. In
places where I have lectursd I have
been listened to with close attention,
receiving warm commentators, where
five years before such sentiments
would not have gone unreproved."

That the Nicaraguan treaty is a
wise national measure is strongly in
dicated by the fact that it lacked but
four votes of the constitution majority.
I; is defeated, not upon its merits, but
upon the issue of mere partizanship,
and it is upon this issue that the coun-
try must look to see the legislation of
the country conducted by democratic
administration. 1t is the lowest type
Of craftsmanship, but it is quite as
high as the country has any reason to
expect. When silk purses are wanted

value on the Agricultural farm. The
people will, without doubt, respond to
this, because it would be disgrace to
any county for SO valuable a school to
be taken away from any county and
especially for lack of enterprise in her
citizens. The State Agricultural Col
lege is the best endowed school of the
State by the grant of land from Con-
gress of United States.

1t is asserted that in that broader
sense in which Webster interpreted the
duties of the Office of United States
Senator, as the representative of the
whole people and the whole United
States" there is no republican, if in
deed any citizen in New York, who
can more adequately fill Webster's
conception than Mr.. Evarts. AS a
New York paper says of his election,
cit will not arouse factional illfeeling,
nor sharpen personal animosities, for
Mr.. Evarts has not been prominently
or Extensively identified with any re-
publican factions, nor the pet or cham
pion of any party clique. He has
been and is an earnest republican, but
above all, he is a patriotic, intelligent,
honest man, of whose citizenship the
first common wealth in the Union is
justly proud"

The Chicago Herald says: The de-
termination of the most northern states
to send only very wealthy men Or their
agents to the United States senate is
fittingly supplemented in some cases
by desire to turn a man out as soon
as be loses his property. 1t cites as
an illustration of this the case of SEN
ator Sabin, of Minnesota, who, when
he was elected to the senate, was a
very rich man and adds: 1t is not de-
MED that Mr.. Sabin is u man of some
ability. His business career shows
that. But would he ever been thought
of for United States senator if it had
not been reported that he was worth
his millions 2 With his money gone
what was the use of his being senator
or of the United States having him for
a senator2 Mr.. Sabin has not resign
ed his seat and probably he will not,
but the manner in which he has drop
ped from conspicuous position to one
almost of inconsequence is very
sti ong commentary on the ideas which
govern the selection of United States
senators.

Don't Skin This.

So many schemes are put before the public
for the increase Ofnewspaper circulation, which
seem 10 be plausible and yet are fraudulent that
when legitimate, honest effort is made to
build up the circulation ola legitimate, honest
paper, by legitimate honest means, people who
have been so many times duped, are very slow
to respond to the genuine scheme. We are led
to this train of thought by perusal of the ad-
vertisement of The AMERICAN RURAL HOME

Past COMMANDMENTS Chief Robert B. Beath
was warmly welcomed by the comrades and
ladies Of Toledo on his way to Minneapolis, to
be present ut the presentation of the memorial
voted by the National Encampment. Wednes-
day evening he visited Forsyth Post in COM
pany with Commander in Chief Kountz, where,
after spending some time in fraternal comrade-
ship, they repaired to the residence of the
National President, Mrs. Sherwood, and re-
ceived cordial greeting. Comrade Beath is
held in warmest esteem as one of the ablest and
trGest of our grand soldier Order, and his visits
are hailed with sincere pleasure. On the morn
ing of his departure for the West, via Detroit,
Comrade Beath visited Headquarters and met
the resident officers Of the Grand Army and
Woman's Relief Corps, the Commander in
Chief Adjutant- General Judge Advocate Gen.
ersl, National President and National Secretary
being present. A profitable hour was spent
and excellent advice received, COmrade Beath
being high authority on all matters pertaining
to soldier interests By the way, Comrade
Bcaths Blue Book is proving invaluable
throughout the West. Under the ruling of the
National President that tho decisions and
opinions Of the Grand Army should be applica-
bic 10 questions arising in the Woman's Relief
Corps, the work is proving to be AS indispensable
to Corps as to Posts. The Department Presi-
dent Of Michigan has recommended its purchase
