THE FRENCH PRINCES.
Reasons for the Expulsion of conte
de Paris.
n. Y. Post.


While the Comte de Paris is far from being
an arch conspirator, it cannot be denied that
during the last eighteen months he has been
gently but firmly pushed forward into the
front rank, and has finally come to consider
himself as a pretender to the throne. The
attitude of surrounding nations has encour-
aged the hopes Of the Orleans princes more
than is generally known. At the present
moment the French republic is enyironed by
distrust and dislike While the English are
too busy with their own internal affairs to
express or manifest that lack Of sympathy
for republican institutions which they I'M
doubtedly feel, in Russia and one or two
European countries there is no hesitation as
to expression Russia has become weary of
waiting for the downfall of the republic,
which it has always considered as certain; )
and although Russian grand dukes and
princes come to France and depart therefrOm
with professions of friendship upon their
lips, and make Of Paris, as 1t We're, a second
home, there is no Disgusting their repug-
nance to liberal institutions. The contagion
of republicaniSm is now dreaded more in the
north than elsewhere. So hearty welcome
is given to the recent prominence OF the Or
leans, to the alliance of the family with yari-
GUS European courts; and patriots of the
stamp Of Paul Deroulede and those in his
following are greatly annoyed at the lack of
Russian sympathy, since they count upon a
Russian alliance in case Of a war with Ger
many as an indispensable adjunct The re
call Of the French ambassador from st. Pc
tersburg, and the departure from Paris OF the
Russian ambassador, have not been referred
to in government circles as of great impor-
lance, but are none the less striking and sig
nifcant facts. That Germany continues to
approve the republic is highly distasteful to
the French, who dislike the Germans most
when they appear with gifts in their hands.

Columbia is proud to be called the alma
mater of bright young ladies, but does not
want just yet the bother of bringing them
up. At Brown University President Robin
son has gone still further in recommending
that women be admitted to the institution
to pursue, under certain limitations, the
same course which is open to men. There is
no decided opposition to the plan, and it is
likely to be put in operation next fall At
Wesleyan University co-education is an ac-
complished fact, but one step more has been
made, and woman now enjoys there the high
honors of the Phi Beta Kappa society. For
progress towards ultimate equality of men
and women in our higher institutions of
learning, this year has certainly been note
worthy.
Another reform which has been approved
by the example of many of the colleges
of the land, has been agitated this summer
by the alumni of one of the more conserya-
tive institutions. The alumni of Dartmouth
College appointed last year committee to
confer with the trustees for the purpose Of
arranging plans for securing to the alumni
voice in filing vacancies in the board of
bAuobCCo. tllS tDullllblCO lCpOAbCO W OAfS
alumni association on Wednesday. The re-
port concluded that the trustees under the
present charter could not divest themselves
of the duty of filling vacancies. The board
is self perpetuating body and any attempt
to give the alumni voice in their elections
could only be accomplished by changing the
charter of the college, the same charter that
in the days of Daniel Webster withstood the
assaults Of the Legislature of New Hamp-
shire. So the committee proposed in their
report that an advisory board be chosen
from the alumni. This board would aid the
trustees by giving suggestions as to the
management of the college; and thus the
alumni would be admitted to a share in its
management. After spirited, even acri-
monious discussion, motion to refer the re-
port to the trustees was defeated and it was
recommitted. One noticeable feature of the
discussion was the lines on which the alumni
divided Those who graduated before 1850
strenuously opposed the committees report !;
those who graduated after 1850, were in
favor of the change. With the young men so
uniformly in favor of the reform, there can
be 10 doubt that before many years definite
demand will be made by the alumni for a
voice in the management of Dartmouth

1t is said that when list of those Liberals
who had declared against Mr.. Gladstone was
shown to a leading whip of the party, the
latter exclaimed: ''Why, here are all the
men who ever contributed anything to our
campaign expenses" The involuntary ex-
preston of the whip may have been little
sweeping; but it is very certain that Mr..
Gladstone's campaign is suffering great in

conservative classes are against him, and
their money is expended freely. On the

which they have been nominated because OF
the actual want of funds for their election

If Halifax should become the terminus of
a great transcontinental system of railways
it might reconcile the Liberals of Nova SEQ
tia to the road across Northern Maine. They
have hitherto condemned it as the snake
line" and have pretended to believe that it
would make Bangor the port Of Western
Canada. A direct line and fast trains might
do much to keep Nova Scotia in the Union,
especially if it should give the fishermen
Canadian market for their fish.
