CHANCELLOE PIERSOA AND GOJERNO OR

In his last annual message to the Legislatui e
Governor Hill made an at ack upon the Board Of
Regents of the University and recommended lis
ambition. The Governor held that the Board had
Outllycd its usefulness, and that the functions
winch 1t is now discharging We're comparatively
unmportant. He argued in favor Of transfer
ring its powers and duties in reference to the
schools to the Department of Pubic Instruc-
ton. The Legislature evidently did not think
favOrably of the Governors suggestion. At all
events no effort WAS made to carry it ont, aud
the opinions of the educators throughout the
STATE, far as they could be learned, for the
most part were decidedly against the proposed
change.
AT The annual coDvocatiou of the University
at Al any this week Chancellor Person in the
cOur~e of his address made forcible reply to
the Governor. He demonstrated that Mr.. Hills
statement III h ; message on the scope and sig
nIficance If the Regents work was erroneous.
Tacing the history Of the University since its
Incorporation in l7Sl the Chancellor proved
that II Was LEGALLY aud fairly established as the
first educational b)dy of this State, and that
the duties of The Regents. winch have steadily
Increased, have been well pen formed. "TGe

Mr.. Person. q has had Il real existence. has
done active work and has performed all the
"scrvces Usually belonging 10 universities in
this or any other country d1ringi.s existcncr.n
There would be less IDLE criticism uuon the
Board of Regents if the fact were borne in mind
that a university is not % college: a. Mr.
PiersOn puts It, It Is not so much an Institution
Of learning as it is the centre, the representative
or governor, of several institutions of learning
Coming down to some of the details he pointed
out the signal value of the system of cx,mi-
nations which was instituted by the Regents in
1866, and which is used by all the schools
simultaneously. He also refcIcd TO "another
great work promoted and carried into success
ful execution by the Regents the work of
supplying the common schools with conf etcnt
teachers trained in the academies under the
Regents charge with special reference to the
duties they will be expected to perform. Mr.
Picrson c0nclndcd his reply to the Governor
in this cOgent manner:

WHIT IRLL ND HIS GAINED.

The canvass for Home Rule has been lost, but
in the seven months campaign since the
autumn elections series of splendid tiinmphs
have been won. The Irish cause stands to-day
on a higher and broader plane than it thcn
occupied. 1t has been champoned by Mr..
Gladstone and sanctioned bv twO-thirds of the
Liberal members in the last Parliament and by
a majority OF the Liberal voters in the present
elections. In November there was not Il Liberal
candidate in the United Kingdom who dared
to advocate separate Parliament for Ireland
or TO denounce Coercion. The Liberal ana
Nationalist candidates who have appealed TO
constituencies for election 10 Parliament on the
ground that they favor Home Rule and are
opposed TO Coercion now number 800. They
have failed TO obtain a majority, but theiI
presence in such overwhelming numbers 10
battle for Home Rule has been a magnificent
triumph for Ireland.
Dep essed in spirits as they aill be momen-
tariy by Mr.. Giadstonc's downfall, The Irish
members may not appreciate ut once the i'm
pOr ance of the victories which have crowned
their cause during this exciting struggle. As
time goes on they will come to look upon their
present defeat as a battlemuch more than half
WOil. w ntU IL HCN I tObifS tIlD DONtT
and attempts to govern to legslate for Ireland,
the NatiOnalists will know how much they have
g"incd. If Coercion be proposed, there will be
a strong minority OF English and Scotch mem-
bers against it, anl that minority will BE- sup
ported by great body of voters VINO at the
polls have condemned the io,cc pol.cy. English
opinion is now divided on lri,h questions,
whereas it has heretofore been arraycd in a
solid mass against Mr.. PArnelP. demands. The
Nationalists will fnd themselves in vastly i'm
proved position whenever those questions are
discussed. They will have permanent allies in
Parliament, who will resent inactOn or futile
legislative proposals on the part Of the Gov
crnment of the day. They will no l5nger be
leading torlorn hope and championing de-
spised cause. A powerful minority of the Eng
lish aid Scotch constituencies will be with
then. as well rs three fourths Of Ireland.
From every point Of view the cause Of Home
Rule has received tremendous impulse since
New-York tribune., 1886-07-09

November. The sympathes Of Christendom
have been enlisted on the Irish side. There Is
not to-day in the United States or Canada
single newspaper of any authority which does
not speak regretfully of Mr.. Gladstone's de-
feat. The religious press, even that portion OF
it which is most hostile tn the Papacy, has
heartily approved of the Liberal statesman's
course. In every American city distinguished
divines and public men of every grade have
addressed Home Rule meetings and aided in
raising the magnificent fund which has been
placed at Mr.. ParneI's disposal. Public opinion
on this continent, in Australia, in France and
Italy has unmistakably and unequivocaly sus-
tained the Irish cause. The Natonalsts return
to Westminster with unimpalred numbers and
a recruit gained in the heart of Belfast, con-
scious not only that Ireland is behind them, but
that half of England and nearly the whole
of Scotland and Wales are with them,
and that the liberty loving world is on their

BOG Us ERE INSURANCE COMPANIES.

BOGUS FIRE INSURANCE COMPANIES.
As one result of the recent law permitting
those persons who certify their inability to Sc
cure adequate fire insurance upon their prop
erty in companies authorized to do business In
New-York to place their risks in Ontside COM
panies, this State is now being Hooded with
the circulars of bogus corporations, who are
operating to the great injury not only OF our
home companies but also of the general public.
Well Informed persons calculate that the
money taken out of. New York and Brooklyn
as premiums upon policies of doubtful worth
amounts annually to tens of thousands OF dol
lars. While it is probably true that those
frauds would be far less serious in their char
acter and less numerous as well were it not for
the efforts of mel chants to secure cheap insur-
ance. unnecessarily going out of this State to
place their risks, yet the public is entitled to
protection from such knavery, and it is one of
the chief duties of the Insurance Department at
Albany to afford that protection.
Superintend mt Maxwell, so far as we can
learn, seems TO be taking no steps TO meet his
responsibility, though the operations of these
bogus companies are increasing all the while.
His predecessor, Mr.. Mccall. set him an excel
lent example in the keen watch he always kept
upon frauds and i'll the severity with which he
came down upon them lie practically kept
New-Yorll clear Of the bogus agent and broker
aud taught those whom he cOnld convict such
lessons that his presence was "A constant menace
to them all.
Elsewhere we present a report of the sitna-
ton as il at present concerns the public with
relation to questionable methods of insurance,
and the Iperintcndents attention is drawn to
the fact that more alarm IS felt on account OF
them than has been occa>ioned for period OF
years He should lose no time in tracing these
irregularities and in furnishing those who prac-
tse them. Our authorized companies stand
deservediy high in the pubIc estimation. They
pay fair part of the public burdens, and they,
not less than the insurng public. have a rlght
to demand that frandulent operations at their
expense shall be checked.

NcwYOrk has had a comparatively long
period Of immunity from the inilIcton of the

took place; in 1892 there were two, il 1881
none, and in 1850 two. La this pcr,ol two
men have paid the extreme penalty IN Brook

and one on Staten Island.
