THERE is one feature in the educational
endowment of Governor Stanford that is
far-seeing in an especial degree and wise
in conception. 1t is provided that the
Trustees shall name the President of the
University, and he in turn shall be re-
sponsible to them for the faculty of in
structors and professors. Thus the unity
of the faculty will be assured, and all pos
sible ills that come of the divided author
ity between Regents and Presidents be
avoided. In the light of the experience
of other Universities, this provision will
strike all who reflect upon it as an admir-
able regulation, insuring success not posi-
bic where the hands of the head of the
institution are tied up by system of APP
pointments made by authority superior

Mr.. hINTHIcUM replies to Mr.. Green on
the question of the Democratic test for ad-
mission to the proposed Democratic love
feast. He says, true, many Democrats
voted for Blaine and Logan; their aid in
the party is, of course, desired; but let
them remain out Of the council until we
want their votes That is the sum and sub
stance of it. Now comes Mr.. Irish and pro-
poses that the password be: voted for
Governor Stoneman, and support the pres
ent Administration. Keep at it, gentle
men; you will get the thing fixed up after
awhile-Democrats never remain long
estranged. The sooner you pour on the oil
of peace, the sooner will the Republican
party be solidifed, and made capable OF
dressing you all down in 1886. You are
doing excellent work in the way of unity
ing the enemy that will overcome you.

A NOVEL Convention assemblies at Chi
cago to-day. 1t is to be composed of third
and fourth-class Postmasters. The object
Of the assembly is to enter protest against
the inequalities to which they are sub
iected. Their small Office expenses must
be met from their own means, while they
are required to equip their offices with
boxes, drawers, etc, but the Government
takes the income from them. The first
and second-class Postmasters on the other
hand have everything conveniently ar
ranged for them by the Government, and
every supply that comfort can suggest.
There would appear to be justice in the
protest and petition that is already framed
for sending up to the powers that be.

THE long-continued rains give promise
of such a season of plenty as this State has
not known in several years. In this con-
nection, let it be noted that the fear Ct
booming rivers does not disturb the slum-
bers of the jewellers in Sacramento, such
confidence have they in the integrity of
their re-fortifed system of levee defenses-
thanks to the fsresight of the people in two
years ago ordering work done on the en-
banlments, despite the opposition of d
shortsighted few. If the work had not been
done, we should now be experiencing some
anxiety regarding the effects of the rise of
the waters.

that something of an alarming character at

sensation as that of John Sharpless The
papers say there never has been such
murder committed in Delaware county.
Business was at a standstill all day. Men
stood about the street corners in groups
and discussed the subject. In the hotels
and stores everybody was talking of the
murder. Farmers drove miles to hear the
particulars. Sharpless was one of the
wealthiest and most prominent men in
that section. He was known everywhere
for his good deeds. The crime was COM
mitted in one of the most peaceful and
thickly-settled portions OF the State. THE
