By very narrow vote the House of Repre-
sentatives agreed to continue State support to
the State University at Bloomington, but the
appropriation asked for was cut down from
$780, to $50, 0OO This action is not
creditable. Either the State Univers-
ity should be abandoned altogether,
or it should be properly supported. The
niggardly policy proposed in the House is de-
serving of reprobation. Indiana cannot af-
ford to lag behind in educational matters. If
she is to assume to have State university it
should be one that will be an honor to the
State, as Ann Arbor is to Michigan. A pol
lev of slow starvation for our educational in
stitutions will not win the approval of the peo-

1t is due Senator Edmunds to say that over .
month ago he informed the Republican caucus,
in writing, that he did not believe the Vicepres-

any authority to declare an election, and that IL
they expected their presiding officer. on the oc-
casion of the electoral count, to so decide he ad
vised them to select some one else before that
occasion. No action was taken by anyone, and
he then the second time sent a similar notice TO
the Republican caucus calling attention to his
first one. 1t is not probable that anything more
will be done about it. as there is decided ma
jority of the Senate who agree with Mr. Ed

To hold to such an opinion is to allow liberty
to run into the widest license. We do not
believe it, and, further we are of opinion
that it may be necessary in the near future to
curb and restrain the kissing tongues of the
venomous snakes who are now injecting their
poison into the vitals of society, and it should
be understood that society and law have the
power to protect themselves.

THE method adopted by mindcure physicians,
just now attracting so much attention in Boston,
is that of arguing invalids out of the notion that
they are ill. The operator sits down by the suf-
ferar and labors, with great show of logic and
scientific research, to prove to him that his all
ment is purely imaginary. After time the
patient arises. and the physician, going away,
announces another cure. This is the treatment,

Cannot Forgive john Brown.

Atlanta Constitution.
A recent number of Harper's Weekly contains
picture representing John Brown kissing ne
gro babies on his way from jail to the place OF
execution. 1t is awell-known fact that no such
scene ever occurred The whole thing is pic
torial lie without the slightest ground work OF
fact. The appearance of such a picture, how
ever, is significant. 1t shows the deep hold
which the murderous outlaw has upon the North
ern heart. Yet the very men who worship John
Brown as a martyr are against dynamiters and
Anarchists. This is strange world.
