UNIVERSITY MATTERS.

A correspondent writing from
Madison sends us the following:
For some time rumors have been afoat that
John Bascom, president of the State University
had been requested to resign. Although the
rumors could be traced to no positive source,
yet in consideration of the position taken in
regard to President Bascom some time ago by
one member OF the Board of Regents, the stu
dents felt that It would not be out of place to ex
press in decisive way their entire disapproval
of any such action ON the part of the regents of
| the University.
In accordance with this sentiment a meeting
of the students was held in Assembly Hall on
Saturday afternoon of May 10th. At this meet
| ing strong resolutions of esteem for President
Bascom were unanimously passed and com
mittee was appointed to represent the students
before the University authorities.
Whatever may be the opinion Of certain cliques
and political forces" in regard to President
Bascom it cannot be disputed that the students,
almost without exception. honor him as an
upright citizen, love him as a true friend and
teacher, and revere him as one of the finest
| thinkers of the age. 1t is the desire Of the
| alumni also that the the public understand the
true state of affairs, and they believe that the
decision OF the public must be in favor Of our
honored President and against the EXPOSES who
seeks to regain their lost power
During the meeting mentioned above, f. W..
Keyes, who happenid to be on the ground was
an unexpected though not an altogether I'M
welcome listener and after the students had
finished their business the honorable gentleman
was called on for remarks he denied that the
presidents resignation had been requested, but
| plainly implied that their Is at least one on the
Board who would like TO have the request made.
Mr.. Keyes was listened TO with closest attention
and was interrupted only when he had occasion
to refer to the man at the head of the Univer-
sity but when he said Young men, you believe
that John Bascom is the only man in Gods Uni
verse fit TO be president of the University the
applause was given in true students style, which
did not add much TO the composure of the
speaker. lie continued quietly to the end of his
speech however and the meeting ended with
| three times three for President Bascom.

The session Of the Wisconsin legis-
lature for 1885 exceeded all previous
sessions in the matter of extravagant
appropriations in general, and espec-
tally as to the legislative expenses,
such as clerk hire, etc. OF this one
distinguishing feature of the session
the people Of the state are bound
to hear considerable in the future.
AS the legislature is largely republi-
can in both branches, of course that
party is responsible for the extrava-
gance, and it is quite natural that
democrats should strive to keep the
matter prominently before the people
from this time hencefOrth. But it is
surprising to find such staunch re-
publican organ MS the Evening Wis
consin denouncing the extravaganza
in unmeasurcd terms. The repub-
lican majority in the forty-seventh
congress foundered upon the ex-
travagant river and harbor bill pass
ed during its last session; and lavish
expenditure of public money al
Madison last winter may induce the
people to elect a more economical
democratic legislature in 1886.

The following from the Madison
Democrat points out one of the
many ways in which government
funds have been indirectly used for
the furtherancc of the interests of
the republican party, and fully eX-
plains the reason why the country
has washtub navy"
During the campaign last year. there was no
man in the country eager 10 defeat the dem
ocrats as John Roach, the ship-huilder, II is
said he put 5 $4,000 into the campaisu-ore half
of which was contributed at the great Blaine
dinner ut nclmouico'S. The reason for this earn
est republicaniSm is leaking cut When the
campaign cnded in Clevcland'S election he hast
cned to complete the dispatch boat Dolphin. and
have the trial-trip made before the end of Chan
dlerism in the navy department The boat was
completed and the trial-trip was made. but the
main shaGt broke, aud after trifling around in
a helpless and dangerous condition in choppy
sea until all aboard were nearly scared to
death, a tug hitched ON the war vessel and
pulled her back into the Roach ship-yard. The
time was too short TO make repairs then as the
old administration passed out of existence and
the new came in. and Roach had not been paid
in full but had secured large part of his pay,
He put in n new sl,aft and then he was informed
by secretary Whitney that new trial of speed,
etc, was necessary. Roach refused this for a
while: then he attempted to scare the admins
tratiou by having circulated the story that Rus
STA had offered him much larger sum and he
would sell the Dolphin 10 Russia IL secretary
Whitney did not pay up without another trial,
Failing in this and as a last resort he gave the
new trial, and il is now stated to have been a
greater failure than the former one the vessel
could not make within four knots an hour the
speed contracted for and in attempting to force
the machinery 1t was broken again and the YES
sci was sgatn towed into the ship-yard, This
man Roach mas been getting all the naval appro-
priations and contributing literally to the cam
paigu funds and this is why the country has a

The third trial trip of the Dol

day, May Is, the result being a
third break down. The builder
mourns and refuses to be comforted
because he has democratic install
