 It is my belief, said exASecretary Robert T. Lincoln, that with Judge Gresham as candidate the Republican party will be in power again next March, and that We will have a clean illustration of the difference be- tween sham reform and real reform, for whatever Judge Gresham would or would not do as president, one thing is certain. he would not proclaim one course of action and constantly and consistently do the exact reverse.
 One of the most unfortunate results of the mismanagement of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad is it's effect upon the Johns Hopkins university. The university funds were largely invested in the stock of the road, and the passing of the dividend seriously hampers the work of the institution. Work has been stopped on the new buildings, and it is an- nounced that holders of fellowships will be compelled hereafter to pay tuition the same as the ordinary students. The fellowships are also reduced from $500 to $375, and the honorary Hopkins scholarships are reduced in number from eighteen to six.
 Many people all over the country have an interest in the test which is to be made of the New York law requiring hotel keepers to supply every room in their houses with life saving rope. The test is to be made with one of the large and prominent hotels of New York city. This law was passed by the leg- islature of 1887, but thus far it has been a dead letter practically. Of 246 hotels exam ined in New York city 228 were found not to have complied with it's provisions. The ob- 1 ject of the hotel keepers is to determine the constitutionality of the law, and the case promises te be one of peculiar interest. The National Geological survey doesn't make much noise. but it is doing useful work. The latest evidence of the practical usefulness of the survey will be seen by those who attend the coming Cincinnati exposi- tion, where there will be cabinet of about
 one hundred and forty specimens, represent ing all the typical rocks of the country, sys-
 tematically and scientifically arranged. Each
 specimen will be of convenient size; the cab
 inet will be divided into two departments,
 the first showing the general properties, com
 ditions and alterations of the rocks, the sec
 ond the various classes separately and types
 of all the various forms in which they ap
 pear. The collection has been prepared witt
 great care, especially for use in schools ane
 colleges in teaching mineralogy. The cabi'
 net shown at Cincinnati will be only one O two hundred duplicates that Prof. Diller i
 preparing for gratuitous distribution to suci
 educational institutions as make application
 and will use them for practical purposes il
 the way designed.
