BRIGHTER DAYS IN MARYLAND.
A POSSIBILITY THAT GENERAL FELIX AGNUs
MAY RUN FOR GOVERNOR ON
RFpTrRIICAN TICKET
REPUBLICAN TICKET.


General Felix Agnus, Of Maryland, who has been
mentioned as the next Republican candidate for
Governor Of that State, in the city yesterday.
Since an honest election in Baltimore has proved that
Maryland IS doubtful State the Generals friends
have been urging him 10 for Governor next
time believing that he could easily carry the State
General Agnuss personal following is large. In
Baltimore he enjoys the widest popularity, and If
he could be persuaded to accept the nomination,
he would probably be the next Governor Of his
State
Referring TO the result OF the recent election In
Maryland General Agnus said he had no doubt that
Maryland would have three Republican Representa-
tlves in the next House. Sidney Mudd's election
over Compton is yet in doubt, but the result Of
the contest General Agnus thinks, will be to send
the Republican TO Congress Stockbridge, who was
elected from Baltimore city over Rayner who had
made such appeals to the sympaihies Of workingmen
was one of the editors OF The Baltimore American
OF which General Agnus is the publisher. The
success Of Mr. stOckbrdge was therefore very graft
flying to his editorial associates and especially TO Cen
eral Agnus The landslide Of November 6 was
felt throughout the state OF Maryland. While the
registration law prevented Illegal voting in the city
of Baltimore to the Protection issue alone General
Agnus ascribes the greatly reduced Democratic plu-
ral!ty in the state Said he: 4" 1t was a matter OF
wages with a great many voters, and they saw the
right side Of the question:
OF Presdenelect Harrison, General Agnus thought
his Administration would be both able and cOnserv-
alive, and that era Of prosperity would mark his
term OF Office

CHURCH-THE RACE QUESTION.
Buffalo, Nov. 81 @peciaD.-The Episcopal Church
Congress has brought here a number Of celebrated
divnes. They showed strong interest IN the subject
considered this morning, Colleges and Universities
IN Their Relation to the Church" The Rev. Dr. W. b.
Bodine president of Kenyon College, Gambler,
Ohio said that direct church control Of the colleges
souettmes unintelligeDt and sometimes harmful but
On the whole, he favored It. Only where there
vegbty local considerations, in Michigan, should
the se.s Of lear ming be allowed 10 slip from Church
State and II is the bounden duty Of church people 70
support these institutions by gifts. The president Of
Hobart College, DIR. T. n. Potter, believed in denom
national colleges He thought rich Epscopalians
ought TO endow colleges Of their own denomination
The Rev. Arthur Brooks, Of the Church of the In
carnanon made a speech which was listened to with
the closest attention He said the colleges must be
open TO men who say daring things. IL Is better to
have these men inside than outside the college The
faculty should not tell man that he must 60 out as
soon as be begins TO think. He didn't Ike the Idea
Of sectarian colleges narrowed down 10 too fine point
Hns said he the Episcopal Church fence Itself
off, YOU must expect the Presbyterans TO do the same
and so on don't object 10 our boys going TO other
colleges"
lie vigorously attacked the close corporation idea
ana said be believed Harvard had turned out more
Episcopal scholars than any other institution In the
eauntry and made his audience laugh again by saying
that many parents absurdly afraid TO SEND their
sons 10 colleges for fear they would caich
something that would not agree with the purity OF
their Christian teaching. He denounced In strong
terms the idea of endowng and building up small
