A NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.

In her common school system America
Justly leads the world. The per centage of
illiteracy within the United States is far
below that Of any other nation and is con-
stantlY decreasing. But as far as higher
education is concerned, we do not hold the
same leading position. Both England and
Germany lead us in this particular not In
the number of sO-called colleges. but in the
opportunities for general attendance and in
the character of instruction provided. Our
minor colleges. while perhaps rendering
possible the enjoyment Of collegiate adj
vantages to those not blessed with an
abundance of this worlds goods, are,
from the inadequacy of their resources,
unable to maintain a standard in keep
ing with the age. The more advanced
institutions, Harvard, Yale, Princeton
and others, while affording opportunities
for acquaintance with the whole scope of
modern knowledge, necessarily, through
the high cost of instruction, restrict
their students to the rich or comparatively
well-to-do Abroad it Is quite possible
for poor students, by means of numerous
scholarships, the remission of tuition
charges, and, in some instances. direct gov
eminent aid, to secure at noted universities
the same educational advantages from
which they are OH this side almost
universally debarred. Germany, noted
for its men of learning, has re-
cruited them almost entirely from poorer
life. Here, the poor boy who acquires COM
plete intellectual development is the eXcep-
ton. 1t is the governments duty, as well
as its most potential safeguard, TO provide
every possible means of education for the
| people. For this reason Senator INGALLS,
bill appropriatng S500,00 for the estab-
lishment of national university will strike
popular chord whose influence will be felt
very perceptibly in the national legislative
halls. That the government is able To sue
ceSsfully maintain such an institution is
seen in the high standing of the more pro-
| fessonal schools at West Point and Annap-
oils. In the university, unlike these how
| ever.it is not intended TO restrict admission.
Those who are able will beexpected topaya
tuition fee, while to each state number of
free scholarships will be assigned. The
only restriction for admission will be an ex-
animation of candidates sufficiently thorough
to determine whether the applicant is fitted
TO appreciate the advantages afforded. The
standard will be of the highest nature, and
ample provision will be made for investiga-
ton in special branches of research and
| learning. Any person may make an endow-
ment, but none less than 500, 600 will be
received. Senator INGALLS, measure may
not be reached at this session, but its
passage is only a question of time. The
age demands the extension of educational
facilities, and the people are bound to have
them. In the fullness of time not only
will there be one national university built,
as the rapid growth of the city requires,
but others will doubtless be founded. it is
a matter of congratulatiOn that Western
man is the first to recognize this demand of
the times and fittingly answer it.

NO Classes.

''NO classes hereg why that IS idle talk.
The village beau sneers at the country boor;
The importuning mendicants who walk
Our city streets despise the parish poor
The dsily toIler at some noisS loom
Holds back her garments from the kitchen
aid;
Meanwhile the latter leans upon her broom,
Unconscious OF the bow the laundress
made.
The grocer's daughter eyes the farmers lass
With naughty glances, while the lawyers
wife
Would pay no visits from the trading class
If policy were not her creed in life.
The merchants son mods coldly NJ the clerk,
The proud pOssessor of n pedigree
Ignores the youth whose father rose by work
The title-seeking maiden scorns all three.
The aristocracy OF blood looks down
Upon the nouveauX riches. and in diSdain
The lovers of the intellectual frown
On both and worship at the shrine OF brain.
''No classes here" the clergyman has said,
.'We are one family" Yet see his rage
And horror when his favorite son would wed
Some pure and pretty player on the stage.
II Is the vain and natural human way
OF vauuting our weak selves, our pride, our
worth
Not till the long-delayed Millennial Day
Shall we behold mo classes on Gods earth.

SpeciaI TO the Globe.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Jan. 6.-The Mis-
siOnary Baptist church in Ashley township
was the scene yesterday Of a very disgrace
full row. The congregation is composed OF
cOlored people with four deacons, Thomas
SnOwden, John Harris, G.. W. Stout and
lack Battle. The wife of Deacon Snow
den was charged with loving one Of the
other deacons and was placed on trial
Deacon John Harris was regarded as the
senior deacon. whose duty it was to ques-
ton the witnesses and prosecute the case
for the church. Deacon Snowden, the
husband of the accused, was present. Dea-
con Harris put a question that offended
Deacon Snowden, when suddenly Snowden
arose, saying:
I'll be d If dis thing haint got fur
enough. l wont have my wife 'sposed dis
way. Take dat, Deacon Harris, fur yer use
less lip in dis matter.
Deacon Harris at that time fell sprawlng
on the floor, having received heavy blow
in the mouth. which loosened his teeth and
made the blood flow freely. A general
hand-tO-hand fight followed. The other
two deacons assisted Snowden in giving
Harris a severe beating. Several of the
participants are found to be seriously in
iuTed.

A FOOLISH ASSERTION.

The most absurd specimen of clerical in
tolerance that has come TO light recently is
to be found in the recent TRADE of a Mon
treal clergyman against the favorite winter
sports of the Canadians. Referring to the
most prominent of the outdoor methods of
enjoyment he declares that showshoeing
and tobogganing are ''near the paths of
sim" 1t is difficult to see how the most
straight-laced of even the old Puritan min
listers, accustomed to decry the most inno-
cent forms of recreation, could have found
fault with such harmless and health-giving
sports, but in this enlightened age such
declaration is simply absurd. True religion
is far more apt to suffer detriment from
doctrines inculcated by one who is so little
in sympathy with those to whom he is ex-
pected to give spiritual instruction as 10 find
serious fault with the most innocent of
pleasures than it is from even an excessive
participation in the delights afforded by
winters presence. However the Canadians
may be affected by the clerical dictum. here
in st. Paul We will be inclined to stick to
the snowshoes and tOboggans and run the
risk very cheerfully of any incidental sin
fulnesS.

league meeting at Kensington to-day. He
said that Ireland wanted a home parliament

ives arrested at Rutland, VT, yesterday
young man named Charles Veo for COM
plicity with Mcneil, the absconding pr esi-
dent of the Lancaster National bank. and

$40, 900 in currency and securities. 1t is
reported that Veo accompanied Mcneil
and that he has been closeted with the di-
rectOrs in Clinton. 1t is said that Mcneil
was in Canada before anything wrong was
discovered, that $50, 900 in securities which
he took are only worth 10 per cent of their
face value, that the assets of the bank yet
exceed its liabilities and that Mcneil took

A WELCOME VISITOR.

1t is TO be regretted for some reasons
that in response TO the last cordial invita-
ton. recently extended. that Mr.. GLAD
STONE replies stating his inability TO visit
America at this time. We have been so
often inflicted with the presence Of English
men whose sole title to consideration lay in
tinsel titles that it would be refreshing to
honor as a guest one who is so justly entitled
to consideration in every land. Modern
progress and English freedom i'm particular
owe much to the venerable statesman. The
man who in his uprightness of character,
sympathetic humanity, wise craftsmanship
and untitled nobility. stands so immeasur-
ably above the commonplace lords and the
peers of his own creation, could not fail TO
be heartily welcomed in democratic and
liberty-lOving America. But this is a criti-
cal juncture in English and Irish affairs.
The long sought solution to the Irish
problem seems near at hand and
the presence of Mr.. GLADSTONE
in England is virtually necessary to carry it
to safe conclusion. Ready TO recognize
the business of Irish demands he is equally
aware of the bitter opposition which will be
made, even among his own followers in the
new parliament, to their fulillment. To
harmonic these conflicting elements and
carry out his resolution TO meet the Irish
question in a spirit of fairness requires
master mind and Mr.. GLADSTONE cannot
be spared. But when home rule has been
granted to Ireland and he has completed
his browning piece of craftsmanship, then,
full of honor. he will be ready to retire
from the field on which he has won so many
laurels. TO well-merited rest. After that
he may visit America, and that he will be
accorded such reception as only LAFAY-
ETTE received, there cannot be a shadow Of
a donbt.

De Freycinet-s Delay.

PARIS, Jan. cit is reported the delay
in completing the new cabinet is due to the
desire of NJ. De Freycinet to have NJ. Fall
Tiers accept the portfolio as minister of the
interior and the objection of the Radicals to
giving an adherent of NJ. Ferry so impOr-
tant post. The Petit President Grevy's

solved If Nj. De Freycinet should not be
able to form a ministry. Col. Des BOrdes,

binger created a sensation recently, has re-
turned to France from Tonquin. He will

Too Much snow for LAUNDERING.

Special TO the Globe
EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Jan. G.-The meas
urement of snow here is over two feet on a
level. while in some of the numbering dis
tricts two and a half feet fell. There Is
entirely too much OF it to prove of any par
ticular benefit to log work at present, as
the men as we'll as teams experience
difficulty in getting route. The
snow is decidedly wet, and packed as it
fell. 1t also covers a soft foundation, and
the roads, when broken, are liable to give
way to the under moisture with an ordinary
load of logs. Continued cold zero weather
from now forward is the only possible REM
edy to assist the loggers out of their diff
culties, and at present the temperature is
not inclined that way.

DULUTH,s GREAT DAY.

Duluth held her reception a little after
the first Of the year, but it was none the
less admirably carried out. She opened
wide her door, and hundreds of visitors now
possess one more indisputable evidence Of
the whOle-souled hospitality of Northwestern
cities. Duluth prepared herself to give the
strangers within her gates warm-hearted
welcome and TO present them with
indubitable proofs of her progress. She did
both, and thoroughly, too. The Zenith
City is proud of her performance, and she
has good reason to be. AS Mr.. ID. G.
CASH, the orator of the day, so admirably
set forth, i'm the short space of five years
she has risen from comparative insignii-
canoe as a village Of 8, 500 inhabitants TO a
city Of commanding importance with is, 1000
people. From grain trade of less than a
million and a half bushels she now
handles over fifteen millions of wheat
annually. and already exceeds Chicago in
this particular. Nor is she content with
this. 1t is not the nature of the Duluth
business men to be satisfied with a fair
showing. They intend to make it better
year by year. and their ability TO do so has
already been demonstrated. The demand
of their rapidly-growing trade required a
new and commodious board of trade
building. Within the space of seven
months it was ready for occupation. The
house dedication and house warming which
occurred yesterday was a fitting finale to a
cOmmendable piece of enterprise. The
Eastern visitors return more than ever inn
pressed with the fast increasing importance
of the West, and the Western guests carry
away with them the conviction that ii Du-
luth does not fulfill the glowing expecta-
tons announced in the address of Mr.. CASH.
it will not be through any lack of effort and
enterprise on the part of the thriving little
city at the head of the lake.

Chicago Strikers.

CHICAGO. Jan. 6.-The journeymen
eoopers from nearly all the shops in the
city are out on a strike against cut of five
cents OH wages. The reduction is the
effect of dull times consequent upon over
production. The men think that by lying
off they will force up the market, which
they would rather do than to accept
a reduction. The strike of bOxmakers is
still in force. and came near having serious
results to-day. A party of men who had
signified their willingness to work were set
upon by number of strikers. and in the
scufie three men were injured, but not
dangerously
