The growing irreverence of the pupils
OF Harvard University has for some time
been matter Of great concern to the
/ more devOut friends Of that ancient and
/ honorable institution. The rebellion, or
rather vigorous protest OF the young gem
tlemen, against compulsory attendance
at PRAYER, is of recent history, and the
spiritual faculty has for some weeks been
discussing plans to reclaim the Maynard
students.
DR.. Peabody, Professor OF Christian
Morals, and Revs. Edward Everett Hale,
Phillips Brooks, Alexander Mckenzie,
Richard Montague and George A. Cor
don, preachers to the university, have ad-
dressed a circular to the parents and
friends OF the students, setting forth the
new plan agreed on for conserving the
moral and spiritual interests of the in
stitution, They propose to hold services
in the college chapel daily and every
evening, and preaching every Sunday
One afternoon every week a vesper ser
wee is to be held to add variety to the
programme.
1t is recommended that attendance on
all the services be made voluntary, and a
direct appeal is made to the students
to take "loyal interest in all the Teligi-
GUS services of the university" and home
influence to induce them TO do 80 is earn
estly invoked. The ministers also pro-
pose to encourage the students to meet
them and consult with them, and they
propose TO look after the spiritual wants
of those who NAV be i'll.
The ministers have evidently hit upon
awlse plan. Compulsory attendance was
no doubt very irksome to very many STU
dents not tainted with infidelity, and who
will very often be found In the chapel I'M
der the new plan, while it could
have no other but bad effect on scotfers
and all that large class that may be de-
nominated as worldly and dou bters.
If the ministers will now go little fur
Their, as they doubtless contemplate do
ing, and have a genuine revival in the
university, they will soon be graJified by
seeing their plan successful In the high
est degree. The students may be in
structed in the science Of christianity,
technique ofreligion, but unless they have
the love of God shed abroad
In their hearts, the labors of
the spiritual faculty will have been in
vain. 1t will, no doubt, be rather difficult
to make the young men of Harvard feel
that they are miserable sinners and to
teach them practically the fundamental
truths of the Christian science, but 1t can
be done il the preachers will only go at it
in the right way

From the Neao York World (Dem.)
Mr.. Bayards over constituencies has caused
MIN to do some injustice TO the press. Selfish
motives have been attributed to its endeavor
to maintain peace and prevent war with
Mexico. But the truthis that war with
Mexico would mean millions TO the newspa-
pers, whatever effect it might have on other
interests. No event would increase the reve-
nue. OF newspapers 80 much as a war. The
New York dHilies would double their clrcula-
ton. The war of secession made the fortune
Of many daily journals, and If we really were
in arms against Mexico,or any other country
the same result would follow. ."''

The four great sloops, the Mayhower,
Puritan, Priscilla and Atlantic, which
sailed the first OF their three races Satur-
day to determine which of them is to race
the Galatea for the Americas cup, are
nearly of the same dimensions, and are
all modelled on essentially the same the
DRY OF what is proper displacement Of
water in order to attain speed. There is
not probably great deal of difference IN
their sailing qualities. AT present the
choice appears to be between the May
flower and the Puritan. In the race Sat

1t it stated that Mr.. Tilden by his will
imposed on his executors and trustees
far greater responsibility than be would
have at any time Of his life been willing
to have assumed for another. Mr.. James
G. Carter, who drew MIR. Tilden's will,
lately remarked that Mr.. Tilden was very
close in spending money in some matters
and very extravagant in others. In his
later years Mr.. Tiden never counted the
cost OF anything that related TO his per-
sonal comfort or to his amusement. He
could afford to crafty every wbim. But
the improvement of his Creamery park
property on such an eXtravagant scale
was source Of great regret aud not a
little disgust. He said that he set out to
spend 5000 or $4,000 and the job cost
him $3.50, 600. He was sick, and before he
realized what was going on he was so in
volved that the enormous expenditure had
to be made. When the house was COM
pleted he was not satisfied with it aud
never VISITED it without feeling keenly
that be had been "taken in and done for,
and couldn't put the blame on any one in
particular"

SaIiabury'sCure,

From the A meTtcdH (I0d.)
Lord Salisbury has no cure for Irish evils
nut the vigorous enforcement of the laws"
But laws can be enforced only when they are
the exp, essIon of the will of the people to
whom they are applied. A whole community
cannot be coerced into obedience, unless BY
such means as Russia employs in Poland, and
such means have not been at the disposal of
any English government, at least since 1898.
Inc English have gone as far as they dared or
could in that direction. but they have not
been able to enforce any laws except those
which the real but unrecognized rulers Of
ireland chose to have enforced.

WASHINGTON, June 23-Committee
on expenditures of public moneys, OF
Senate, continued investigation of
Commissioner of Pensions Black, on
his charge that prior to his admins
tration the pension Office had been run
as a political machine In substantial
ton of the charge, the Commissioner
this morning cited the pension case of
Congressman Houk. He showed that,
notwithstanding the entire board of
review and the medical examiner of
the department had found that there
was no disability in the case, the pen
sion Office allowed the applicant So 900
arrearages. The case of George w.
Wyatt, of the Twenty second Indiana
regiment, was then taken up. This,
said the Com missioner, was merito-
rious case, and it remained on file in
bure au for ten or twelve years, utterly
Ignored. But finally letter from a
man named Graham was received by
his (Black' 81 predecessor, urging action
on the case. and concluding with the
assertion that Wyatt is an active
friend of ours, and political hustler"
immediately after the receipt of this
com mmunicatiOn, the Commissioner
said, the case was passed and the claim,
ant received $h495 arrearages. The
investigation will be continued.
