THE passage of some of the rejected pension
| bills over the Presidents veto would not neces-
sariy force any radical revision of the popular
estimate of Mr. Cleveland's greatness as a con-
sttutional lawyer His reputation in that direc-
ton is still in formative period and has not Jet
passed before the reviewing power. --Philadel

j THE purely UNCONVENTIONAL college in this
country has soon its best days. Public sentI-
ment does not encourage them, aud their pro-
motors anxious to lessen the denominational
color in order to gain larger share of general

working clear of that foregone religious purpose
| in the higher education, which has been one Of
the nuisances of the American colleges. Boston

! DENIAL of the freedom Of every man to work
| on his own terms, or interference with that free
| dom, must decrease the demand for labor and
also its productiveness, just as the coinage of the
seventy fyecent dollar threatens stagnation in
| business and loss of profits. 1t Congress, in
stead Of fussng over special legislation for work
| ingmen, would set them the example of honetty
in action and of justice toward all, it would
serve them far better than now.--New York

THIS is in no way party matter. Republic
| ans and Democrats alike will condemn the flip

| pretending that he knows more about these mat

| playing the role of an autocrat at the head of a

| his power, and refuses to listen to the arguments

THE country has twice been convulsed by the

i A MAN who, holding Office OF trust and re-
sponsibility, will accept gift-and to all intents
and purposes the Pan-electric stock held by Mr.
Garland and Mr.. Harris was gift--in specu-

twild cat class. and especially when the Gift is
proffered by and accepted from a person of slch
pronounced disrepute that any honorable gentle
man would decline to receive him at his house
