Measures were adopted to maintain the

made of the awakening of national senti-

fisheries.

Meetings will be held in most of the large
cities of the United States to protest
against the un-American attitude assumed
by some Of the prominent officials of the

press throughout the country. Stirring
speeches were made by the president of
the association and members of the COM

many plantations in different parts of the
south, which were once well known for
their size, the magnificence of the resi-
dences upon them. the hospitality of their
owners or on account of the prominence
of the families which possessed them. are
now falling into ruins. The reason as
signed for this is that the land has become
worked out, or those into whose possess
sion it has passed lack the energy and
skill which are required to make it pay
under the present system of labor. In
one district in Georgia, which was noted,
from the first settlement of the State until
the emancipation of the slaves, for the in

Another Great Educational Institution

1t looks as though Massachusetts is to
have another great educational institution.
The Mayor of Worcester in his address to
the City Council this week referred to a
proposed college for women in that city.
This is said to be the first public announce
ment that has been made upon subject
that is full of interest to the friends of
education all over the country.
1t is understood that the suggestion
came to the Mayor from the trustees of
Clark University, the new $4,000, 900
college founded by Jonas G. Clark, who
desire that the city shall purchase land
for park near the institutional cost of
S34 900. As an inducement to the city to
open the park, they have allowed some
facts in regard to the new female college
to become public A few months ago,

make known his intention to several
Unitarians, among whom were the Rev.
DR.. Edward Everett Hale and the Rev
James DeNormandie. of Boston. that he
would give sum variously stated at be-
tween S600,000 and S750,O00 to eniow a
college for women as a memorial to his
dead wife. His only conditions were that
the place selected should show interest
enough in the matter to raise the endow-
ment to S,,000,000 or that other induce
ments equally satisfactory should be
offered. The proposition was submitted
to the trustees of Clark University, most
of whom ard Unitarians, and they thought
so favorably of it, that they have offered
building site and substantial induce
ments to bring the new college to this city.

The Presidents ignorance on this subject
was excusable. Mr.. Lowelrs is not. Does
not Mr.. Lowell know that every plate, every
beam, every engine, every piece of timber,
every coil of hemp, and, in short, every article
that goes into the construction of ships for
foreign commerce, is, and has been for years,
admitted into the ports of this country free
of duty? Far from being protected too much,
our shipping interests are not protected at all,
When we extend the same protection to navi-
eating vessels engaged in foreign commerce

has long maintained and now maintains a

that its current contracts for carrying the

never know him any more as citizen.

There is some reason to believe that the
selection of Col. Colyar, of Tennessee, for
Minister to Mexico-if Mr. Colyar should
actually get the place-is the result of a cum
ningly contrived conspiracy to get that gen
tleman out of the country. He is the editor
of The Nashville American strong pro-
tectionist newspaper, aud the most conspicu-
GUS journal in the State. With Colyar in a
prominent Federal position, as the one re-
ferred to is, and out Of the country, the free
trade chiefs perhaps believe that his paper
would be brought more in harmony with the
policy of the dominant wing of the Demo
cratic party that it has recently been.
